Hi,
In your Messages, it will show all the conversations you have text'ed with other people.
Let's say you tab on Messages > Christina (430)
Is your messages loaded right away or it lags (the little circle appears in the middle & spinning)?
And then, when it has finished loading, does it show the name Christina right away or it shows the phone number, then 1 or 2 seconds later, the phone number will change to the name, in this case Christina?!?!
My phone is HTC Legend & it lags. I'm guessing the Desire does not since the CPU is quite a bit faster?
Thanks for all the info.
Mine lags when scrolling through the messages, ive also found when sending a message the more messages you have, the longer the please wait sign stays there

Has anyone noticed the stock Messages app has some glitches in it now. Specifically, I've found 2:
1. If I'm typing a text, about 50% of the time, the screen will suddenly jump to the very top of the conversation list. This also removes the window you are typing in and stops you typing. So if you have around 200 messages in that particular conversation, it can be quite irritating to have to start flicking back down to continue.
2. This one is less frequent but I'm now sure it exists. When I tap on a particular conversation from the main list, occasionally I get taken to a completely different name/conversation. I used to go back to the main list to see if I mis-tapped, but the conversation it went to wasn't even close.
I've now gone to Handcent because of the irritation, but I'm wondering if it was only me that saw this?
i have the first problem too... very frustrating but i like the stock sms application because its so simple... tried chomp sms and handset 2 months ago and went back to stock app because i couldnt search in greek to add a contact (i dont know if it has been fixed)...
non rooted desire with froyo
yep, got these problems too, however I'm not on stock froyo, NeoPhyTe 5.0. I have also noticed another problem, whenevery I'm scrolling through the widget, sometimes all messages seem to be from one contact, even though they're not! weird, but then I let it reload and all seems fine
The best I can describe it is when opening a text from the notification bar it brings me to the top of the SMS thread, which can be quite long sometimes and the only way around it is to back out and re-enter the thread to get to the most recent message.
I love how smooth this phone runs, I can deal when resource heavy applications freeze for a bit or have bugs. However when simple phone based applications do things like this I kind of twinge.
Any help on either what does this or how to fix it?
Is this stock? Never had that issue? Maybe try deleting some or all your txts? I know the stock app gets flaky when you have a ton of messages on your phone
sent from a phone
i get that same thing when i have 200+ messages in a thread. its somewhat annoying.
It's happened with stock and in skyraider now
Easy trick that works for new when that happens: hold menu so the keyboard pops up, bringing you to the text field at the bottom.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5.3.
I have not run into this problem since I have been using Handcent for SMS.
have this same issue, and this is with stock 2.2 from big V.
one thing i've found to get around it though is backing out of the thread and then re-entering will put you at the end normally and also if your typing and bounce between the 159 and 161 character count, not tapping back and just changing orientation a few times will set it straight again and you can continue editing the message.
Will say, i've got threads that are 2k messages long and even then its a hit or miss thing to the point where i cant get it to happen right when i'm in front of a big V tech. :/
i get that occasionaly and i get a glitch where even if i click on the sms notification it still shows it in the bar.
Hey all,
Couple of problems. I don't seem to be getting the correct timestamps for SMS messages received while the phone was off, it just shows the time that the phone was turned on. I'm fairly sure I used to get the correct time when I was on an iPhone. Is this supposed to happen or is there an issue somewhere?
Also, I don't seem to be getting missed calls at all if the phone was off when the call was placed or if the phone was out of signal.
Running ARHD ROM, but I think these issues were happening when I was on stock.
Cheers for any help
That's how it is.. a text while the phone is off will show the time stamp of when the phone is turned on.. also you won't see a missed call notification while the phone is off.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Is this an Android thing? Because I'm fairly certain when I had an iPhone it showed me the time of when the message was sent, not when I turn my phone on. Not the end of the world just inconvinient.
Just to note: Viewing the full details of an SMS shows sent time and received time. However, it seems that the message app sorts messages by the received time. e.g. I have two messages sent half an hour apart while my phone was off. The one that was sent second was received by my phone first and listed below the other SMS in messages. Would be better to have it the other way around IMO.
So, this one I put in General section on purpose, rather than the Troubleshooting and Q&A section, cause main purpose is to disguise about the bugs and things that are simply wrong.... Mainly probably Android issues rather than HTC, but their team has big impact on those...
I'm gonna start by the fact that I got the M8 just a couple days ago, and it's an upgrade from my previous M7 (Stock 4.3, TWRP Unlocked & rooted).
The first thing that I did after turning it on was, Wifi -> Software updates -> and got 3 OTAs in a row, to get me to 5.0.1... After that, I started to "migrate" the phone; Loging in G-acc, downloading apps from PlayStore.. and bump, here's the issue number 1:
- PlayStore keeps saying "Connection lost. Retry" or giving an error 923 on downloading apps, like every few minutes or so. This only happens when using 3G or 4G connection. Writing reviews is impossible, cause at the time I actually write something, and press Apply, the message is lost, and "Try again" notification appears instead... Never happened before on M7, so I checked with my carrier and we've done all the testing - It's for sure something with the phone, not the signal. carrier or tower-switching....
Next thing was, youtube has the same issues: Every few minutes (even less), a "Retry" button appears, and has to be pressed 2 or 3 times to load search results, videos, etc... Never breaks the connection during video play though. But, still, playing playlist is impossible, due to error being in between every video change...
Issue number 3: Gallery keeps getting everything that's on the phone. This includes Messenger (Facebook) app's emoticons, which are shown one-by-one in it's own albums, resulting in having over hundred albums in a gallery, - I know this can be hidden, but hiding over 100 folders is not that easy either...). I checked data on my M7 - same folders, same files of messenger, but Gallery never showed them at all.
It also shows all of the pictures I've ever shared with a particular person, since Messenger downloads those pictures in a folder... What have they done with the Gallery app?!? Is there anyway to downgrade to some older version...?
Issue number 4: Cloud gallery notification pops-up every single time the Gallery is opened. Even though I hit "No thanks" button, the next time the app is opened, notification saying "Gallery just got better with cloud service" pops-up. Any way of disabling this notification?!??? I guess that mentioning the uselessness of Zoe app due to not having Save button is irrelevant, right...? This Cloud things seems to mess up the heads of the HTC Dev team, ha?
Issue number 5: Power saver notification can't be hidden from the Lock screen; My life with M7 was 90% of the time with "Power saver" option turned on (All except for the data cut-off option selected). I always had the notification in the upper bar of the screen, but never on the Lock screen itself, in the middle of the screen. Now, on M8 this is visible. Along with the big "X" symbol that turns it off. I swear I've gone through all of the settings, but nowhere found any option to hide it.
Issue number 6: Google drive downloads low-res videos instead of originals! So, I keep a lot of my FullHD ([email protected]) of the GoPro on my Drive. Now, when I wanted to see those videos on my phone, I hit the Download button, and look what I got: 720p (1280x720) videos @ 25fps. Converted MP4 files. Without any notification, any option set, nothing... And I've downloaded the same files on M7 non-converted, so that I could edit them and upload them on social networks etc... Why is this the case, and why is this behaviour nowhere even documented? At least I haven't found it...?
Resolved issues:
- SD Card write error; It's a pain in the ass what they did. More than that, its the pain in the ass that in 5.0.1. where this was repaired (via Documents app approval), the app crashed when selecting SD card -> due to the card not having any name set (after format). It would be nice if this was documented somewhere too...
- Whole device freezes for around 10 secs whenever message is sent in Facebook Messenger app: This is resolved by turning off "In-App sounds" option in the app's settings. Still have no idea why this would happen, and why only on M8, (Nexus 5 and 6 don't have these issues running same system and app version...), so can't say who to blame, but at least it can be bypassed...
Facts (rather than issues): About M8 itself... Well, the camera is far from what they promised, and the battery is nowhere near the capacity they claim it to be. While the screen is pretty much the same as it was on the M7, I'm really starting to wonder what is the big change in the model at all (apart from louder speakers, very dumb headphones jack reposition, and gladly SD card support back in game...).
Now for the worst of it all: The playstore review content; HTC Development team seems to simply delete all reviews that are not saying what they'd like to hear. Either 1 star, 2 star, and comments that points to some issues - the review gets deleted within couple hours. I've been mentioning bugs on 3 apps, like 4 times so far, and all my reviews were gone... While they are kept on many other apps. I mean, is this the way to treat customers?!?
What are your thoughts? What are the bugs you found and I haven't yet...? I really want to know as much as I can, because I'm starting to regret for my choice....
Hello,
I've had the zenfone 2 for about a month now and there is an ongoing problem with my contacts:
- When I go to my text messages (also sometimes whatsapp logs) the contact names are gone and only the numbers show.
- When I go to the phone dialer, it just keeps loading and nothing comes up, or sometimes the dialer loads but my recent calls log is gone.
- When I go to my contacts page it is empty.
(I have screenshots of the above issues for clarification)
I can solve this problem temporarily by emptying the cache of the "contacts" app and the "asus calling screen" app, but the phone keeps glitching at least once a day.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Does anybody have a solution for this issue?
Thanks,
Ariel
Same issues as your Zenfone 2

1 - I have seen this as well
2 - Same here
3 - Same here
What I have noticed is the following:
4 - When I go to dialer, it takes literally over 15-20 seconds to pull up the call log history. It almost seems like its searching for this data and then there is a delay in posting it.
5 - SMS app (regardless of which one it is, have used stock, GoSMS, ChompSMS, others) hangs up, starts doing weird things, as if the processor is trying to play catch-up with the buttons pressed. If I let it be, it comes back to the last commands pressed. Reminds me of the old Microsoft windows days...
6 - Battery is draining very very fast. I see a full charge around 6:30AM, then the phone reaches 40% by noon. This started happening a few weeks ago, so I am thinking a software update caused this issue.
7 - Bluetooth communications with the car console is very slow. It sometimes takes 15-20 seconds for the phone to drop the call if I press the hangup button on the steering wheel of my car.
8 - Really close to giving up on Android. Can anyone help?
Is there an ASUS live customer support that I can call for help? Does anyone have this number handy?

Same here
Yep - can confirm. I have the same issue.
One thing that worked for me was selecting the 'Contacts to display' tab and removing some of the sources.
I thought that since it was polling information from so many different sources at real time, it might be slowing down.
This temporarily worked, but the issue came back.
Extremely frustrating problem - you don't expect these kinds of bugs to make their way through QC.
This is what fixed most of my issues

I flushed application cache for contacts and a few other apps, and restarted the phone. Contacts were fine afterwards.
was the issue solved or there is a suggestion how to solve it?
I have the same issue..Any solution??
Clear data option for all Asus apps which will clear cache itself. Or you can hard reset your phone.
