[Q] Random programs closing - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason some programs keep closing. For instance, the xda forum app, I open it, then it just closes, no errors or anything. I have to open multiple times for it to work.
Same thing with my K9 Mail. If I wait for like 20s it seems to work. Anyone ever have this problem? I've never seen this before.

Found out, they aren't closing, it's just going BACK. Like the back button keeps being pressed, but it only does it for certain programs.
Any help?

Built in SMS locking up

Is this a common problem? If I clear all my SMS it works fine, but after a day or so of texting when I look at a text conversation then hit OK to go back to the conversation list it'll freeze, sometimes for just a few seconds, other times I'll have to kill it via task manager.
It has done this on all WM6.5 roms I've tried, even on my Tilt, so thats why I figured it's a common problem and has a fix.
I would clear my texts regularly but sometimes theres some I need to keep and I end up deleting those on accident. It also takes a long time to clear once it gets to the "freezing" point.
Thanks.

problems with keyboard?

I know there are other threads like this but each phone is unique. Wondering of anyone else is having similar issues. Every now and then (throughout the day) ill open up messages. Handecnt kik. Browser etc... And ill start typing haptic feedback working. But no letters show up. I've tried stock. Better. And gingerbread keyboards all seem to have the same issue. Any way to fox this? My Inc 1 dis the same stuff sometimes but its quite annoying. I'm also running Atk like I always do I ignore keyboard messenger.and I've also tried without ignoring it. Is this an Atk problem or glitch with these HTC devices?
Happens to me sometimes too. I usually works if i hit the back button then where im trying to type again. It must be a little software bug.
So I got rid of Atk, problem solved

xda VERY slow loading

I've noticed xda takes a long time to open and change pages in my browser (Chrome). It frequently times out and gives me an error message. Sometimes I can push it to finish opening by pressing F5 (reload). Other times I have to close it and open again. This happens FREQUENTLY. I have also noticed several video ads that run automatically in multiple windows. I can pause one of them at a time by clicking on it, but of course, this doesn't help with the slow loading problem.
Is there any way to opt out of these videos (one seems to show women in sportswear making sushi) or just shut them off? I suspect that this is the problem.
Its been happening to me too, I just came to this thread to report this. I have an adblock so not sure about the ad but Its talking way longer time to load and sometimes i get error that unable to reach website.
I am using safari on mac.
Thanks

Mate, consider the fact XDA is currently frequented from thousands and thousands people. This could mean - in some cases - their servers could be sometimes overloaded, producing the annoyances you experienced.
This was caused by a bad DNS server - it is all fixed up now so your speed should be fine. Closing this thread, for any issues in the future please visit the XDA issues thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987254

Most apps keep crashing moments after opening

My Fire Phone has developed an odd issue. I am hoping something more knowledgable on such matters might shed some light on what to do.
It started occurring a few weeks ago. Many apps would crash a few seconds after opening them. I figured out it appeared to only be apps that have some relationship to Contact data. SUch as WhatsApp, all contact apps, all phone apps, dialer apps, etc. Apps with no association to contact data are fine.
I ended up factory reseting the phone and starting from scratch. Installing GApps, etc., as per originally.
The issue seemed to be fixed. Sigh of relief.
Today I used the phone in the morning, and it was fine. I pick it up to use some hours later in the late afternoon, and the default launcher (which was Arrow Launcher) would crash every two seconds. I couldn't get access to the phone. Rebooting made no difference. I discovered I could still use the double-click on the home button to pull up the carosel, and there could click the system settings. After trying many things, I eventually used that method to uninstall the launcher. I had a few lunchers installed already, so I picked another launcher. The other launchers are all fine, so I thought the problem was solved. BUT when I open any app that accesses contact data it was back to the same old story... it crashes in a couple of seconds. I suspect the Arrow Launcher itself has some feature whereby it access contact data, and that's why it was also crashing every 2 seconds.
I found one other person posting what sounds like a similar issue, back in March. https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/help/crashing-apps-t3575127
Doesn't indicate what he/she discovered or did to fix it.
Can any suggest how I could trouble shoot this? I am resisting going through the lengthy process of resetting the phone again, and getting it all set up, because I already did that, and the problem spontaneously returned.
Reinstall your rom, search on amazon website

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.
