Default Freezing in WinMo messaging

Anybody have this happen to them all the time?

When I exit a mesage, the message list will usually freeze for maybe 3-5 minutes


Very annoying.

Fix anywhere?

yeah, that happens to me too--my best guess root-cause is that it's due to the fact that I have TONS of text messages that I've been keeping over the years.

I always notice that it's worse right after I've flashed my phone and restored my data. I think this is because it's re-threading my messages.

I don't have any fixes or work-arounds, but perhaps my theory might inspire one!

Yes, annoying. I delete the thread of messages I have with someone that I notice takes a while to close and then it's speedy again. This is a frustrating solution because you can't keep much of a history, but at least it speeds thigns up a bit.

I have the same problem, though it doesn't last for 3-5 minutes, thankfully. According to my MyPhone page, I have 1174 messages. This doesn't sound like very many to me.

I notice in Task Manager that SMS takes over 2 MB. Maybe this is part of the reason for the sluggishness?

Another (minor) annoyance is that, in the Windows SMS app (I don't use Touch Flow), when I tap "reply" to a text, the program will take time to thread the messages from that sender and then load the SIP (I use Swype currently). Next, the SIP goes away and I'm left with the cursor at the bottom of the screen in a blank area for my reply. I have to reactivate the SIP and wait for the screen to redraw again before I can begin typing. Seems like weird behavior.

I had this issue and identified it to the threader feature in 6.5 when you have large amounts of messages, just disable threader feature under settings menu and issue will go away..
Samsung S3 (Verizon Wireless) ICS 4.1.1 (Forever Changing)

Change is good and customizing is better, but always remember that backing up should still be the first golden rule...

If my post was helpful please show some acknowledgment by throwing out a "Thanks"

or you can just use MyPhone to archive some messages... again, when you add or subtract a large amount of data from your sms database, your phone will take some time to re-thread all your messages.

Eventually, when all the messages are threaded, you won't experience the slow-down.

I think this is LESS about WinMo, and MORE due to the fact that we really, really need Snapdragon processors
