text message view delay

Seems to gave to do with the phone rendering the graphics and loading the keyboard. This isnt only with the SMS but it is the most obvious. Think the iPhone really needs a much faster processor. Macos x. Or freebsd with Mach kernel really can use a bit more ram and processor speed.

When was the last time you cleaned up your messages? I notice mine slows down qwhen I have a lot.

I would agree with tikigiant, maybe clean up your messages and see if it goes a little bit faster. Also you should remember that the iPhone has to "load up" at least 2 different screens and files first.

actually, tiki is in reference to, a Tiki...and the giantis in reference to the SF Giants. =-)

However, I do hate the Cowboys!!! Somehow, in my life, I became a BRowns fan, so football has been a pretty uninteresting ride for me for quite some time now!!!! =)

I just tried my Text Feature....not sure if you are exagerratting, but when I open it up, the screen is white for 2 seconds. That is on a text message chain that is about 4 good speed finger flicks in length.

bg- I think you are experiencing normal lag in your applications loading up. However, you can always go into Settings and clear some things out, like in Safari and mail. Little things tend to go a long way. If it continues to bother you that much, take it in to the Apple store. Although I really think it is just a normal time to get the text. I've also noticed that it takes a little longer when you've just received the text than if you wait a bit.

BG- I've noticed the delay too so you are not the only one. However at times I do think I'm being too nit picky. Going from the Home screen to the SMS screen takes about a second and when you receive a text when the phone has been sleeping it takes a few seconds more. Having hacked and modded the iPhone in 1.0.2 I know that there are several screens and things that have to load up before the page that you need to see is visible. If you were to take it in to Apple I would imagine they would test some things about connection and clean out some things. If you're in Dallas, go by Knox, they have an amazingly helpful staff.

Just for you, cause I am such a nice guy, I went in and deleted ALL of my text messages (wow, I had a lot more than I thought).

When I push the SMS icon, I instantly go into the messages wioth no real lag at all.

As others have stated, just go cleanup everything.

I would also try a reset....push and hold the home button with the sleep button till the Apple appears....this may also speed things back up. Just like a computer you leave on a long time....it will start to lag until you reboot or defrag.
