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:

1. Install and run Total Commander on your Touch Pro. (You can learn more and download it here.)
2. Browse to /Windows/ and find “thread_sms.htm
3. Select File > Edit. Scroll down until you find the text “count” and delete it.
   Before: “…spell focus count links…”
   After: “…spell focus links…”
4. Save.
5. Restart Phone – You now should have no SMS Lag.
