If you are anything like me, one of the major headaches you have to deal with on the Touch Pro is the keyboard input lag. When I first got the device, I was fervently trying to find a solution for months. If you are not a Touch Pro user, basically any time you would try to type a text message the device would not show characters on the screen for up to five seconds after they have been typed.
Well recently I found a few fixes that will completely eliminate text messaging lag from your device! They work while in chat view, but not when creating a text message to send. Although if you really want to eliminate the lag when creating messages, post in the comments and I’ll include a fix.
You have two options, you can either download this .cab (thanks to fr0st over at ppcgeeks) or manually by following the instructions below.
Instructions:
- Install and run Total Commander on your Touch Pro. (You can learn more and download it here.)
- Browse to /Windows/ and find “thread_sms.htm
- Select File > Edit. Scroll down until you find the text “count” and delete it.
Before: “…spell focus count links…”
After: “…spell focus links…” - Save.
- Restart Phone – You now should have no SMS Lag.

Does not work. I’ve tried it a few times.
Did you try the .cab? What rom are you using? is it WM 6.1 or 6.5?
Also, do you see the text message counter? (i.e. 1/160)

i didn’t use the .cab, but did it manually and it worked!!! thank u so much for this post. y would they even have that “count” in the html file from the factory, all it seemed to do is annoy a bunch of ppl!!!
I did this the manual way on my HTC Touch Pro and I didn’t notice a change. :/
YAY! I did everything you said and it works! No more lagggg… I’m so happy you have no idea. The lag bugged the crap out of me.
