I wonder if the user phone uses a resistive touch screen or a capacitive touch screen? Resistive touch screen will respond to the pressure of your fingers or nails on the screen. The capacitive screen doesn't use pressure and won't respond to nails.

I can't use my nails to touch the screen and it doesn't use pressure. So it has to be capacitive.

I honestly don't know. Maybe the processor or the screen can't keep up.

I am having the same problem it seems. I type very fast and it will freeze for the longest time. It will freeze on a letter and then unfreeze, then I go to erase the letter and it gets stuck on the backspace and it will erase my whole message. I dont know if it is the touch screen of the program. Any advise would be helpful because I am about to throw it against a wall. Thank you!

Good morning Mrmamj. I completely understand how upsetting it can be when your device continuously freezes like that, but please do not throw it against the wall. I am confident that I can fix it.

Does this issue only occur when texting? The first thing I would want you to try is a simple battery pull. Leave the battery out for about 30 seconds and then put it back in and power the device back on. Also, if you have a lot of saved text messaging threads try clearing out some of the ones that you don't need anymore as it may be a memory issue.

Another thing to check is to make sure that your phone is on the latest software verison. Visit http://vz.to/YFXRFi for steps on how to update software. If there is a software upgrade available it will ask you to download it, if not it'll tell you that you are up to date.

Please update us with your results. Have a great weekend Mrmamj.
