New update sucking - Windows Phone 7 General

Well I updated last week and now I notice I lose the keyboard while texting a lot now. This gets very frustrating. Also when I had bluetooth running I couldnt send a pic in a text message, seemed weird to me, anybody else getting these problems or is it just me.

Don't know about the bluetooth, but the disappearing keyboard issue is common and Microsoft is looking into it. People are saying it might have something to do with the background agents running and that it goes away if you disable them all.

The keyboard disapearing bug is not related to 7740, its a bug that popped up with Mango, still to be fixed.
My BT is always on, and I have no issues with sending pics in messages.

I noticed after the update that it happened a lot more than before the update. IDK it might have been something wrong with my phone at the time restarting it helped. I actually had to do a battery pull last night because my phone would power back on after it was just on. I havent had to do a battery pull since upgrading to Mango.

Happens to me frequently enough. Sometimes like 4 times in a row very quickly.

Yes, my keyboard is disappearing ever more than 7720, It's very annoying...

Thank god i didnt upgrade.. i think i will skip this upgrade at all..

I think I'm going to go back to the previous update. My keyboard has disappeared 3 times while typing this. Come on windows

Sometimes I have this happen as well. For me, it's when someone is attempting to send an MMS to my phone. You can go into the Messaging application and sometimes you'll notice the incoming MMS message icon. It looks like a box with an envelope tilted diagonally.
Yeah this happens to me when in log into oz messenger its so annoying.
does anyone have an idea on how to "avoid" this annoying thing?
I mean, I've 'mis configured' the carrier messaging confs, just for testing purposes, and it still happen to...
Only time i've ever had my screen light up is when i've had my Light Config app running for backlight on 6.1, but only happened a few times and its been awhile.
I'm using WM 6.0
and got no light app running

Hey just update your dash to The free Kavana 6.1 rom, and then its in programs and Accessories, rom also has a built in processor overclocker, goes to 288 but do not attempt more then 264 Mhz unless you have a tiwan S620 or S621, ones in china shouldnt do more then 264Mhz 6.0 is stock 6.1 is very easy to install.
Mine does the same thing, WM6.1 Rose, but it is because there is software that runs in the background that ques the light. With my device it is IM+, Flexmail, and there is another that does the same, just can not remember, maybe an RSS reader or Activesync.....
Mine (Rose) does this when someone sends me a message that the phone loses and doesn't display somehow. This started happening when I installed Rose, and also goes hand in hand with the message-related memory leak, which is why I've come today to install something different. I can't afford to be losing messages, especially when lighting up signals that something has obviously happened, and then I never get to see it.

Well I'd love to fix this problem, so if it's a user error that's causing the messages to never deliver, please let me know what it is so I can fix it. The memory leak is real however, and causing me to reboot, or, when I don't in time, it freezes, crashes, and then loses messages that I had already gotten (which is understandable in a crash and not the same as the lost messages I'm talking about above).
The messages get lost completely randomly, from different people, and whether I've just rebooted or not. They get lost in the middle of texting where all other messages come through from the same sender as well as others and they get lost when they are the only message in hours. If this is a user error, PLEASE let me know what it is.. because I even went to the trouble of having different people re-send me the lost messages so I could compile them and compare them to see if it was something in the actual text of the message causing the loss. Found nothing.
The only thing that ties the lost messages together is that the screen lights up, like it normally does right before displaying a new message, but then does nothing afterwards and the message never makes it. What's going on? What's the user error?
Thanks in advance.

I don't know the difference in semantics, so feel free to let me know. What I know is, the messages get sent from the senders, my phone lights up as if it was receiving them, but they never actually appear in my inbox. I don't know if this is called delivering or receiving... but whatever the issue is called, it's a problem.
AND I do not know if it has anything to do with the rom, but this problem was never apparent before I switched.. so I don't know what to think.

No one else has ever mentioned this in over 3000+ downloads so please understand why i don't understand, hard-reset, reflash would have been my answer if you had approached the thread with your issue, i have also responded in the thread to you.
Lol it's not an issue or something that needs to be resolved, it's simply your phone communicating with your providers network. This communication causes the phone to come out of standby and in doing so lights up.
I admit it's annoying and I often sit waiting for a text to come in or something but it's a normal and important function of the device.

i reflased my rom like 20 times in the past 2 weeks(just exagerating) but i never had any problems the only problem i had was nrgs weather thing wasn't working right thats why i flashed.
Mine does it too, but the pros with the ROM seriously outweighs the cons. I can deal with a few bugs as long as it dosent interfere with phones main funtions.
I also have noticed when the phone goes idle, sometimes the screen turns white and the backlight never shuts off. This is usually fixed with a reboot. Does anybody else have this happen on their phones?
its just your phone giving you some love and letting you know that its thinking about you. they are very personable.

MMS crashes or gets stuck ALL the time

Hey guys, my txt and mms stuff constantly freezes and gets stuck, I already applied the patch from HTC that was supposed to fix it and it made it worse it seems like, does anyone else have this issue? It doesn't seem to matter if I have alot of conversations saved or if Ive deleted them all, it still randomly crashes and gets stuck and it eventually clears but its getting to the point where I really hate this phone. When I first got it it was great this never happened, and I haven installed any apps or anything and its getting progressively worse, not sure what the issue is but I almost cant even txt anymore without a 50/50 chance of it crashing and stalling.
seriously no one else has this problem? I look at task manager and: Messaging (TXT & MMS) is always stuck.
I think all of us have that problem. I am being serious. The reason why I say that is because no matter the ROM (stock, custom, my own) I still have wonky issues with MMS, SMS and freezing, or Blank Screen of Death.
Sorry to not have a solution for you...
ah, I thought maybe I was the only one or something, hmm, that sucks, almost makes me want to just run android all the time, it just seems to suck the battery away and some stuff doesnt work great, unless Im not using the best android setup.
I wonder if its part of TouchFlo3D, Im gonna turn on windows default stuff and see what happens that way, Ill try that for a day and see if I Constantly crash/get stuck and have ot wait for minutes randomly on every sms
Ive had the same problem! Ive resorted to Valkryie's ROMs, they have lots of features and are REALLY fast! I love energy ROMs,and i use them like 60% of the time, but when Im going out for a while or like when im going on Vacation, im gonna use Valkryie, but anyway, havent had a problem yet with the sms freezing.

Weird Annoying Typing Issue

Is anybody getting this weird issue when they're typing: The keyboard all of a sudden just goes away on it's own after 2 or 3 keystrokes. It happens a lot when I use the Bing Search function. I'll get two or three letters down then the keyboard abruptly goes away. So I have to get two or three key presses in each time I restart the process.
Anybody know what could be causing this? It's not just limited to my Bing Search, I literally got so frustrated trying to start this thread through my phone's browser that I had to dig out the laptop instead.
And this is happening on a Lumia 900?

the symptoms are those of the disappearing keyboard issue with mango. Its supposedly fixed in this release of mango. However several people have reported seeing it.
I suggest you report it to Nokia at the web site. You won't be able to fix it on your own.

This still happens to me occasionally on both my original Focus, and my Lumia 900. Both are updated.

Ok, I didn't know if it was a symptom of Mango or the Lumia. It's just so weird when it happens, I notice it when I'm low on battery more often, but idk what sort of relevance that would have. Thanks for the tip though.
Yeah, I get it quite often on my Lumia 900. Also my Radar still has it happen occasionally, my girlfriends Radar has it happen more than mine. All updated as well.

Are you sure you're not accidently rubbing you hand/finger on the back button? The back button, since it's universal, will remove the keyboard if it's on screen. And because Back, Home and Search button all use capative touch instead of having to push them, simply rubbing or bumping them will cause them to activate.
I had this problem when I first got my Lumia, but I've adjusted and adapted.

For me, definitely not. I've tested it many times on my Lumia and my Focus. It's definitely something to do with the keyboard deactivating itself. It happens to me a lot if I try to share an article I read in WP7 News app and go to email. When I try to type my name in the TO: field, I get one or two letters, then it goes away and I end up clicking/typing in the message body.
It seems like if I give it a moment to rest, then start typing, it's less likely to do it, but that's a little annoying, since I want to check my stuff and get on with things. Not a huge issue, mind you, but annoying none the less.
No, im not accidentally touching the back buttons.I'll ask my girlfriend if she's having the same problem, but it's gotta be a software issue from what I'm hearing now.

Huh, this doesn't happen to me though. Guess it's only effecting certian modles... Nonetheless, this kind of defeats their whole add campaign (Smartphone beta test is over)

at&t has not rolled the fix out yet, but the lumia supposedly has it. Other carriers that rolled out the fix, still report some problems, though not nearly as widespread. AT&T says they will roll out the fix around the tango release timeframe..i think it needs more work.
Mine is doing it now after updating to the latest software, this sucks! I hope they fix it asap, very annoying when composing text and the keyboard disappear!

I have actually noticed this problem less and less as the weeks have gone on. It's not so much that I'm getting used to it, cause I notice when it does happen, I think it was just a weird thing. I haven't had a problem personally since the update either.
Hi,
I don't have this issue on my 900 nor does my wife see it on hers. That said, let me offer what I know about the keyboard disappearing from previous hardware/builds.
When I had this issue on earlier hardware (Focus/Focus S) it was caused by apps set to run in the background. When an app is set to run in the background, the app would shift focus away from the current user task for a split second, and if you have the keyboard out the keyboard thinks you've switched to a different task and it closes. The way I worked around it was to disable background tasking for all my apps (settings -> applications -> background tasks. Note that when an app updates itself, it will reset this background task setting so you have to reset it. I never saw this problem again after I updated my Focus S to 8107. Still, it might not hurt as a troubleshooting step to disable background tasks and see if the problem reappears.

so far, i've not encounter this issue with my phone yet, but seems to be affecting mango version only, coz mine is already on tango....

Weird problems sending or receiving texts...

I've been having issues where people would sometimes not receive my texts, or that they would receive it only after an unusually long delay. Someone also tried to send me a long text today, but I only got the tail end of it. It doesn't happen often, I've had a few long text sessions without problems, but then again it's hard to keep track off.
A weird thing that happened to me today too was that a particular text from yesterday got resent today right after I rebooted my One V, and What makes it even weirder was that the old text disappeared from the where it was yesterday to when it got sent out today...
I only had it for a couple of days before I rooted it so I don't know if it's because of the fact that I rooted it, though I started to notice it the same day I rooted the phone...
What can I do?
Could it be the JmzOneV4 ROM, does changing the kernel and overclocking affect this as well?

I think you should try your SIM in other phone and check your problem might be issue with your Carrier.
Regarding the Auto Sending of SMS, I was facing that problem sometime ago and have been trying to find why it was so.
A factory reset will solve that problem.
I noticed that there were some GO Launcher themes that caused that problem to occur. (although I m yet
Also, u can use an antivirus. F-Secure recognized that virus and removed it.
I still dont know which app caused that problem though.

[Q] Random Crashing?

So I have had the note 4 (retail version) for a few weeks now. It is quite nice being no root.
The only issue I have started to see is randomly when I unlock my phone there will be a crash report with just a picture of my lockscreen and nothing else. Today I attempted to go into my contacts and it crashed 4-5 times until I waited for a few seconds then finally got in. Has anyone else experienced these issues before?
I have not loaded any apps that are out of the norm, I am fairly tech savvy as I deal with technology for my job. I haven't yet had time to try a full factory reset on it as I also use this as my work phone (I own it though).
Yes I'm getting many crashes at this point and it's very aggravating. First it was Contacts, then other apps including Pandora, a music app, Gallery, and one other I can't remember at the moment. It happens many times per day now (probably about once per hour), though isn't fully predictable yet. Audio has also begun cutting out periodically when streaming music over Bluetooth. I've wiped cache and done a factory reset, but neither has produced a change.

Hmmm, anyone else having issues with this? Wondering if a few bad phones went through the line. I've had quite the busy weekend dealing with being in a accident and such so i haven't wiped my phone to see if that affects anything.
I've been getting the occasional Contacts crash, for reasons still unknown to me. I haven't had anything else really going on though. I've had my phone since December.
Though slightly related, I did have a strange behavior last night where the phone screen would not timeout and turn off on its own, even while on the lock screen. A reboot fixed that. I've never had that happen before.

From what I have been reading in other forums, the " unfortunately contacts have stopped " has to do with google+. This issue just popped up recently and is happening on various devices and different carriers. So it's not just vzw Note 4. Disable or Uninstall updates seems to work. Hopefully the issue will get resolved with a Google+ update.

It's quite interesting how Google+ has been causing issues. I came from the Lg G3. Google+ and Verizon's app did not like each other and would crash constantly until google+ was disabled.
