[Q] Swype lag on HTC messaging.

[Hammett11]

I've read earlier posts that had the same problem I do, but most of them were old (and hopefully the problem has been fixed now)

Swype makes the messaging lag because the client has to load a certain amount of messages before you can start. is there a way to either fix this, OR make the client not load as many messages?

i experienced the same problem so had to ditch swpye a few months back, great substitute for typing making fewer mistakes savng time so if anyone does have a solution please let us know

nope, apart from regularly deleting your texts theres no way round it....
swype has its own issues with lag though whether its htc messaging or winmo messaging... even right now ads I try and type this reply swype is making me want to smash my face into the phone and scream "why wont you type? why wont you ducking type!!"

Go to settings tab, then More.
then go to 'Personal', and go to 'Input'.
When your input methode is Swype, tap on the button Options.
In the options scroll a bit down, and look for the part called 'Operation'.
Slide the slider of Speed vs Accuracy completely to the left (fast response).

Then tap ok, and it should work better.
Let me know if it worked for you, because they told me here on XDA it can possibly work, but I dont have received enough text messages yet to test it.

Nah, that's how I always keep mine, using it any either way drives my crazy-er! thanks for trying though.

On the hd2 their are temp files the msging app uses i noticed its bassicly a giant debug log. When I saw mine after only having my phone for 2 months it was about a gig or so...I highly suggest deleting that. I am not sure if the HD2 opens that or its just an appendage type thing.

the best "solution" I've discovered is just turning off threaded messages. it's kind of frustrating, but there is no lag now...

I've found that custom keyboards are laggy for me too. The best solution that I have found is to simply make my phone faster. when I overclock or install a custom kernel on my phone, it usually decreases the lag caused by custom keyboards.

Good point, but it does not work everywhere. If you open a message from the sense preview it always starts the threaded view even if it is disabled in the inbox. Do you know a way how to disable threaded view there too?

Yes, you're right, and no, I don't. I just have to go through all the shenanigans of clicking everything. To me, it's worth it to use swype, and it's still faster and less tedious in my opinion, than waiting for messages to load.

Now I am using the ShapeWriter beta. It does not lag like Swype, however I really miss the vibration and a few other things. like swyping smileys.

For me, the lag only occurs when I use the newer version, 3.9.
If I use the older version of Swype I get no lag. Don't know what the version is but I attached a screen shot of it.
