Anyone else having Google Voice lock up? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ever since the google voice update, with the widgets. Whenever I boot google voice the phone locks up for at least a minute before allowing me to click a message thread, then. When I load the message thread it locks up again for awhile before I can finally type the message. Exiting out causes the phone to lag a little bit on the homescreen. Any suggestions or others with the problem?

How large are your sms threads? It has been not breaking them up as frequently (or at all sometimes) as before, once they get above 300 or so for me the lag gets worse.
On the other hand, I've had it lag on occasion unrelated to that issue as well. I don't launch voice from the widget anymore, seems to usually lag more than if I just launch app from regular icon. Don't know why that would be.

Since installing the new version of voice it has been doing this to be all the time. Very annoying but I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I erased all my messaging thread except two and it still lags. Both threads were 15 messages in size

I've experienced this too. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it seems to be a little better.

I think it depends on your perception of lag. I feel my device slows down momentarily sometimes when navigating through long lists and opening some applications as you mention. I thought at first it might be a problem with my device but have since had it replaced (because of dust under the screen not this) but I still notice it the same. I think I just expect everything to be instantaneous given the 1Ghz processor inside but to be honest it doesn't bother me and I imagine most people don't notice any slow down at all.
As an example, just now selecting the option to add the HTC Clock widget to the home screen there is a noticeable pause before it comes up with the options to choose widget style.
I would be interested in how quickly the Photos application loads for people though, it takes a good few seconds for me (around 4 seconds sometimes) to load the summary view with 'camera shots', 'all photos' links etc. I've replaced the memory card to an 8gb Sandisk Ultra as I thought the read speed of the original could be the cause, but it still takes the same time.
None of these things effect the usability of the device in practical terms though.
Market / Weather are possibly lagging due to Network speed rather than phone speed. They have to DL data to the phone.
Others like Email may be refreshing when opened causing lag.
My messages app (Handcent currently) only lags when I have many hundreds of messages saved. But it is noticably better than chomp at handling the same volume of messages.
I find the phone lags when it is installing stuff. And by lag I mean delayed responses to my input.
I also find that certain apps can load up and then cause the phone to stutter. I haven't found out exactly which apps but it's always solved with a soft reset - just turning the phone off and on. Either that or it's forcing the phone to store too much on the SD card.
Maybe I'll find the offending app when I have more time.

[Q] Lots of general problems lately...

I've had many different problems with my Droid Incredible 2 lately. Im not sure if these are normal but my phone is far from fast anymore. its actually extremely laggy on the homescreen, switching from panel to panel takes a few seconds. Opening any app takes a good minute to finally launch, and what is very annoying is my messaging app. For example, i could have 3 new texts. I'll open my messaging app, and after about 30 seconds it will finally open, and i'll see my new texts appear and refresh after another short amount of time, then opening an individual conversation takes another small amount of time, then when i go back to my list of conversations, it still says theres a missed text from that person, and it could take a couple hours for it to refresh itself and display a sent text, and it been like this for a couple weeks now. About a week ago, i did a full factory reset, and i have absolutely zero widgets on my phone, uninstalled every application except for Facebook, i havent touched a single setting. What should i do?

Install that. I am sending you a PM with my email and you can send me your log. I will take a look at it and see if I can find what is causing your issues. I had a similar problem a while back. Don't worry, no personal information is collected in the log.
I forgot.. after you get that installed, go ahead and clear the log. restart your phone, go through the things that are causing you problems, and send it. As far as I can tell, this isnt a widespread problem.
I have serious lagging when I try to watch videos I recorded with the phone, after watching one vid its painfully slow to respond.
I haven't noticed any substantial unresponsiveness. I use LauncherPro for my homescreen, though, so I can't speak for Sense home experience. Everything seems pretty stable for me, so it's definitely not widespread.
I mean i can deal with the sense 2.1 being a little slow, but how slow and unresponsive the messaging app is really bugs me, and i dont get why lately, especially after a factory reset

Yeah, the messaging app is really becoming a PITA for me. I've changed all the storage settings and even after I delete all my messages, it's still laggy.

Try out gosms, I find it to be far superior to the stock messaging app
The only problem I have is that my gps isn't as accurate as it was on my Eris.

I've got one, and this is the only problem I've had with the phone . When I have a friend request from Facebook and I accept them it shows up in the fb app that I have but not friend stream . Any thoughts? I have 2 friends in fb that don't show updates in friend stream and I like the app just hate that u can't write on peoples walls so that's why I have both on there .lol

Google apps having problems

Loving my Nexus so far, but I am experiencing a few frustrating issues and I wanted to see if others are having the same problems.
The first is that the Google voice widget doesn't work right. It will load my conversations, but at some random point the widget will go blank. Deleting and replacing the widget seems to work for a short time before it happens again.
Second issue is the Google Music lock screen controls are dead for me. Fast forward and rewind do nothing, I have to unlock the screen and use the app itself. This seems to be the case whether the app is open full screen or not.
One other Google music issue is that, when I start streaming an album, it almost always stops at the end of the first song, not locked up but just sitting there doing nothing until I skip to the next song and from then on it works fine.
The low res thumbnails in the contacts app really bug me too, but at least that seems to be a documented issue (that apparently won't ever be fixed).
Again, I love this phone but Google gives way too much fodder to the haters with stupid sloppy little issues like this.

Having the same issue with the Google Voice Widget.
Glad to hear I'm not alone, meaning somebody is likely working on a fix... I hope.

app freezing issue ?

hey this is my first post in this forum hope I'm in the correct area-
Im having an issue with two apps in particular that freeze the app/sometimes phone. First facebook - when typing a message when it pulls up a tag to suggest a person's name to tag it freezes the app and i must back out of the message. Second - just surfing in instagram it will freeze lockup the whole app. I've tried cache cleaning. I've really enjoyed this phone so far, the frequency that I use these two apps though its becoming more frustrating. anyone else encountered this.

Yeah, I have seen this as well with Instagram. Randomly happens. Locks up and have to force quit the app. Latest updates have not helped either. I have also noticed when using immersive mode, and doing an instagram story, you cannot add text. Not that has anything to do with your issues, but just a heads up.

Slight pauses/stalls noticed while typing or scrolling.

It seems to be noticed mostly with keyboard. And never lasts more than a second or 2 at most and then starts working again. It's such a short pause it's hard to notice unless you are really interacting with the device a lot for awhile like typing a really long message or doing a lot of scrolling. Could easily never be noticed since the pauses are rare and only a second or maybe two and then it's back to normal. I suspect a real update that isn't one of these patches with maybe some kernel optimizations and CPU optimizations will fix it as it seems to be related to something with the CPU or GPU tuning maybe even.
Anyhow if anyone else is noticing such a thing please reply and confirm I'm not alone....it's not biggie, but if I am doing a lot of texting it does become more apparent and annoying...rarely notice it just scrolling on a web page as I read as I probably miss most of the pauses as they happen easier than when doing a lot of typing...basically disrupts flow less then.
I should add the keyboard pauses are pretty much identical whether I use Gboard or swiftkey. Pretty sure any will do it as I get exact same pausing when scrolling around web pages.
I have to add that this gets more annoying the more I encounter it. I suppose it's about once per 500-1000 characters or so...but pretty random so maybe a lot more or less. Just not rare enough to no annoy a few times a day if you are sending lots of messages!
Guess I am the only one noticing this? I hadn't started fresh from the get go....I did bring over all the things from a Mate 9...settings and apps and data and all...but doesn't seem related to any app or anything in particular. Just minutia I think I have noticed in the custom ROM realm that can happen if you get a kernel that isn't optimized well. Somehow guessing it will be gone next update...but L29 first real major optimization update seems to be slow to come. Any word on official Euro launches anywhere? I could see a majore L29 update push setup for something like that when it happens.
Count me in. Typing with swiftkey is better but still got typing issue here and there
Swiftkey is doing same things and so does scrolling...jist more rare with scrolling seems most common in the Google messenger app. I may resest after update...but if my case is unique I figure it's just related to me always restoring messages and such in some apps even if I start fresh. No reason that shouldn't work though. Had always worked on Mate 9.

Never restore your setting from old devices

I don't. Only reason some of that restored this time around was due to the Huawei device migration regime. To me that should work if it's on offer...even if you skip at generation like I did from 9 to 20. It went off without a hitch with only annoyance being it rewrote the pictures and other documents to the 20 X with a new last modified date of when the copy was happen rather than like when picture was taken or last modified. It's still in metadata for library type browsers...but I can't stand the Apple style library browsing regime for some types of files and documents.
Anyhow there is no reason the google messages app should have keyboard interrupting like I am seeing. I have seen chrome stall it's scrolling in similar short pause sort of way also though and it has started fresh. So have to assume it's a combo of things that are partially some lack of optimization in this latest L29 build. Really noticing as I write this it's not happening here...so it's also what app you are typing in specific even. May try the stock messenger and reset messages as I do andaybe return later and see if that helps.
I mostly got this issue with Facebook Messenger, sometime in forum post
