I'm a new PPC user and I love the customization and features that the phone offers, but I have one major gripe right now that's making me debate keeping the phone. I'm working with a XV6800 and I'm a frequent texter and the slowdown due to what I'm sure are a variety of things is really bothering me.
When I soft-reset the phone, everything is quite speedy, but over the course of the day, my memory starts to "leak" and everything slows down. It'll sometimes take my phone 3 to 5 second to switch from vertical to horizontal when I open the keyboard, another few seconds to open and look at the message, and then once I start typing, the letters drag behind at a speed much slower than the one I'm typing at.
My question is, will going with a stable ROM such as DCD's or Custel's when he releases one and keeping the number of applications I install and run to a minimum solve this completely? I'm experiencing this even after a few hours use with no other programs running, so I don't think that's the way a phone should operate "smoothly." Or am I completely wrong, is this just something I have to get used to and accept? If that's the case, I may be considering the wrong phone.
In addition, what about threaded SMS? Will that have any effect on this text messaging delay?
In summary, I'm looking to get rid of the delay in all of my apps and across the whole phone, not just in texting, but that's the best and most notable example I have. Any advice on speeding it up would be appreciated for these specific issues, but before I run out of time, I want to make sure this is a solveable issue.
Finally, on a separate note, is there any downside to doing several soft-resets a day if necessary? Eventually over the next week or so I want to tweak it to not have to do this, but for now, is that ok?
The first thing that is going to come to my mind, is are you opening programs and never fully closing them? This just leads to trouble the device has 64MB ram not 2GB, to fully close them you can go to the task manager in the settings
I'm a texting addict as well. Do you have the word prediction shut off? I found that with that thing enabled, even with it predicting only ONE word, the phone is basically not useable in regards to constant texting/emailing. When it's disabled, the texting speed increases a lot, provided your phone itself isn't lagging. Eventually you get used to not really having it around.
Perhaps the people testing the predictive text were typing REALLY slowly and didn't notice it somehow.

Thanks--that helped the actual lagging in the typing part completely! Word completion is nice, but no big deal to lose.
