I'm having some issues with the Pure Messenger Widget on my Legend.
It sometimes hangs for unknown reasons when you open a message from the list, but once the android popup notification comes up and asks you to send a note to the developer or kill the process it will return to normal state.
Sometimes I even experience it freezing the whole telephone when just looking at the scrollable widget.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems?
In my case it does not always hang, but at least in 30% of the time it takes very long for the widget to react on any action taken.

My Specs:
CM 6, ADW Launcher, Pure messenger widget scrollable 4x4
Didn't change anything CPU-wise from default CyanogenMod install.

It could be either cm or adw problem. Definitly not a hardware problem. If you still have it installed,you could try to get a logcat,and see if it tells you,where is the problem.

I ran logcat and monitored a few times what is happening when the widget is getting really slow.
Noticed it is working just fine as long as you switch between entries from facebook twitter and GMAIL application, but gets horribly slow when it needs to read an entry from the k9 for pure application.

It looks like k9 for pure will always provide the last 10 or 20 messages in full text instead of providing only the single message that you want to display.
(At least in logcat all the html code for the last 10 or so emails from the account is being displayed)

Really hanging seems to occur when you have multiple messages from k9 for pure in a row and hit the next button multiple times.

Ex.:
Message1: Facebook Post
Message2: K9 Mail
Mesaage3: K9 Mail
Message4: Twitter message

When you open Message 1 and hit the next button 3 times, the widget will first read 10 messages from k9 then another 10 (maybe the same) and if that takes too long (most likely it will) it catches a timeout exception and displays the hanging dialog and the Twitter message you wanted to reach.

The only problem I'm having is not being able to display contact's pictures. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to, but I just get the default icon for every contact in the widget. Not the worst problem in the world, I can live with it but I'd like to fix it :(
