For those rocking a Touch Pro, you’ll be happy to hear that there’s a fix for the dreadful SMS keyboard lag. A member on PPCgeeks, bradyonly, has figured out how to eliminate the lag when sending out texts on the Touch Pro. Who knew deleting one word from a file would be so rewarding? However, the price you have to pay for lag free texting is that you lose the character count feature, which is a small price to pay for speedy typists.

Quick tutorial:

- open your windows folder with Total Commander

- locate “thread_sms.htm,” hit file, and then go to edit

- find the word “count,” as shown in the screenshot below, and delete it

- save, exit and soft reset your phone

- enjoy lag free texting!

Note: If something goes wrong, just delete “thread_sms.htm” and the original file will be recreated by Windows Mobile upon soft reset. Also, some would recommend backing up your device before attempting any type of file edits.

It works great for me, how is it working for you?
