Messaging issue after JB 4.1 update - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have noticed that going back into a message string it will sometimes start me at the very top or the middle, causing me to have to scroll all the way down to see the last message and reply. Also my message notification tone doesn't always work. Sometimes its silent even though its turned on. Anyone else have these issues at all? Not a deal breaker by any means. I'm really loving 4.1 and am pumped for my Nexus 7 to arrive as well.

[Q] Messaging App scroll?

I seem to be having a problem with the messaging app (the HTC one)
While typing a message, for some reason, the app will scroll upwards slightly (not to the top of the thread, just a bit up so the text box is JUST out of view). I then have to scroll back down to continue typing. Does anyone know why this might be happening, and if I can do anything to stop this?
Thanks
In landscape or portrait?

Only landscape as far as i know. I'm not sure if it happens in portrait since I only ever reply to texts in landscape.
I'm having a similar issue where the phone will start doing things on its own. I'll go to start sending a message and it will scroll and press random buttons.
Has anybody seen anything like this before?
Yup I have the same, strange and quite irritating.
I get this too, don't think it's happened in portrait for me yet, just landscape.
Also, when I'm deleting text it'll sometimes pop up the screen letting me delete messages instead of the text, so I have to go back and reclick the box to carry on again.
I've also noticed that sometimes I'll get like a new text message notification after I've replied to a new text, even though I've obviously read it?
This is quite frustrating after a while, can anyone look into this?
Im having same issue as well.
On top of that my received messages from people are time stamped a couple hours behind. Not sure whats going on here

Does anyone else have a problem with the phone typing in CAPS right after you slide out the keyboard?
Also, anyone know how to tweak it so when i press "enter" it sends the message?
Download sms time fix

I also have this happen to me, and the caps this has happened to me too. I hope this is fixable.
Hey guys,
just to update my findings, it sure seems to me that it's a light-sensor issue. Most of this happens in low or inconsistent light scenarios. In my case it happens specifically under or near one lamp in the early morning.
Can anybody else verify that it's happening in situations like this?
I'm seeing this scrolling issue too. As has been said, it looks like it's due to the program loading up all the previous messages, i.e. when it's finished doing that it then "jumps".

this is also exactly what is happening to me. perhaps a future update or a custom ROM might fix this..can anyone confirm?
I'm still very new to Android. Is the messaging app an HTC thing (my own guess) or a standard Android utility ?
Check this thread, particularly post 22 onwards, for details on how to replace the HTC version of the SMS app with another one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846231
To answer my question above - yes, it looks like the stock version is an HTC app, not an Android one.
Can confirm it's a HTC app. On my old HTC HD2 I used a total clean 2.2 android rom and the app is very different
Got both scroll and CAP problem, sometimes
I have the scrolling problem and also my sms notification does not clear from the notification window shade unless I click on it there. Going directly into the messaging app and reading/replying to the sms leaves the notification there.
I was using ChompSMS but that gave me jip with repeatedly sending the same sms again and again, so i switched to the standard HTC sms app - which has these problems!
had the same problem... handcent doesn't have this problem, and I installed a rom with the stock sms app (villsion) and have had zero issues since!
Yeah, switched to the vanilla messaging app and all is well.

Notifications in notifications pull down reorganizing themselves?

This is more of an ICS question, than a Galaxy Nexus question, as this same behavior occurred on my Nexus S. When I have multiple notifications in my notification bar, when I pull the bar down, they are in one order. But, before I click on them, the rearrange themselves automatically. This only occurs once, but I end up clicking on whatever is now in the place of the notification I was intending to click on.
Does this behavior occur to anyone else? If so, how do I tell Android to not mess around with the order of the notifications?
Hmm... I've never had that happen. They just stay in the order they were received.
Most of my ICS experience is with CM9 (which is currently on my GN right now), so it may have more to do with that rom, than anything else.
This happens to me sometimes.. then I'll immediately go back and click on the other spot but it'll go to it's original order... fooling me yet again lol

Have this happen often on my bone stock Galaxy Nexus.
Same here
Yeah, it didn't used to do this, but it started doing it recently. Not sure what I might have installed or tweaked to cause it though.
I know it's not from a Google Update since I'm still back on 4.0.2 stock.
Same here. It's been happening since 4.0.2 for me. Kinda annoying.
I haven't had this issue on my Nexus, but notifications are ordered by date. Some notifications gets updated. For example, whatsapp updating the number of unread messages and battery percentage/temperature notification.
It might be because one of those notifications got updated a split second before you pressed the notification.
I'm just guessing, but that might be your problem.

[Q] Stop JB Calendar notification from playing for over 30 minutes?

Since JB I've noticed that the calendar notifications went from signalling once to a continuous drone that rings and rings until the device is attended to. My alarm clock isn't even anywhere near this persistent.
I don't see any means to change this behavior at all except to turn off notifications completely.
This is not meeting friendly and happens to be extremely annoying when you have multiple devices.
Anyone know of a fix? Did I miss something? Or did someone program in this change and considered this absurdly long notification time an improvement?
No one has noticed this or it doesn't bother anyone?
I think that's hard to imagine...!

Really? That's very interesting. This happens on my Galaxy Nexus as of 4.1.1 and my Nexus 7.
It did not happen before my JB update.
Interestingly NO ringtone is selected when I "choose ringtone" from the calendar app. Maybe that has something to do with it.
Well that's it.
The calendar notification was some built-in and non-selectable notification. When using that notification it continued for over 30 minutes. After selecting a ringtone/notification from the list the problem went away and the notification file is only played once.
Strange behavior.

[Q] Annoying BUGS

Sprint Version, OTA update on launch day.
Bug 1: Continually goes into "Car Mode". I'm not sure if it is somehow related to the holster I'm using or what, but I pull my phone out at least 20-30 times a day and it's in car mode. It becomes super annoying when you answer a call and it immediately goes to speaker phone. I tried "force stopping" this app, but that didn't work. Next step is to freeze it, but come on...I shouldn't have to do that. Weirdest bug I've ever seen. Anyone have insight about some auto-Car mode or pushing certain buttons turns it on automatically??? Weird.
Bug 2: When typing in the texting app (only place I've observed it). I'll get a few words in, then randomly, the cursor goes back to the beginning. It's been happening pretty consistently and I even noticed it on the demo model at the Sprint store (thought I had hit an arrow or something). This happens ~3-5 times per day and annoys the hell out of me.
Other than these, this phone is a BEAST. Super fast and beautiful screen. I'm missing CM10 and will definitely root/flash when the bootloader is cracked.
Anyone else notice bugs similar to these?

Those are ROM bugs. I think they will be fixed after JB 4.1.1 update in December

For the curser thing. Try Swiftkey. You'll absolutely love it, plus it fixes the keyboard curser issue
Thanks for the replies...
Bug 1: This is due to the magnet in the flap of my holster. I'm not a holster guy at all, but at work it's a must since I wear scrubs all day. I can reproduce the Car Mode by placing the phone close to the flap magnet. Makes me think they're going to have Car Mount accessories that will have a magnet and automatically turn Car Mode on when mounted. Also makes me think I need a different holster because my phone thinks it's in the care and I can't shut the damn Car Mode off (yet). Sigh.
Bug 2: It's not the keyboard. I know and like swiftkey, but like the stock android keyboard even more. I installed the AOSP 4.2 Keyboard 10 minutes after getting the phone. The bug lies in the Messaging app. I'm now running GO SMS without any issues....buuuuuttttt....I shouldn't need to do that to sidestep an annoyance in such a critical and basic app. Who the hell is testing these things and lets them out the door with even the slightest flaw in either the phone or SMS apps???
I'm missing my AOSP more and more. I love the phone and the hardware is quite impressive, but if this device doesn't get cracked and CM10 or 10.1 soon, I'll be swapping it out.
the only bug I've seen on this phone so far is that sometimes spell check does not work in the messaging app and then sometimes it does. (Spell check as in when it underlines an incorrectly spelled word in red)
I have noticed the bug #2 as well within the messaging app. Pretty annoying.

Ditto on the keyboard bug. Doesn't happen often enough to me to make me wanna change phones though...
I'm with you guys on the keyboard bug...as crazy as it sounds, I'm playing with the idea that this has to do with tilting gestures...I'm having a little success repeating the bug this way. I'll repost if I confirm this.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Dont have the keyboarding issue.
But i do occasionally have the Car Mode. bug I need this 4.1.1 update asap
Any fixes for Bug 2? My boyfriend & I got the same phone at the same time, and mine does this, his doesn't. I also think it has something to do with the tilt sensor. I'd appreciate any input if someone knows the cause. Thanks!
For 2, I use another messaging app and swift key flow and it doesn't do it anymore. Go SMS or the jelly bean app

I can confirm bug 2 when using SwiftKey 3 on the stock messaging app and especially when typing comments in websites.
the texting bugg has completely gotten annoying for me.. Cant type a full message without the arrow going back to the first word.

Use a different keyboard.
I use Swype but Swiftkey should work too. It is not the messaging app or the Rom.

The software definitely has bugs. But the only only one I can do without is this damn SMS bug.

I too believe it's the keyboard and the placement of it's keys. Using 4.2 keyboard and no problems. Just a taste of some AOSP to come. Hopefully (crossing fingers)
Has there been any official word when we are supposed to receive the update? I know it rolled out in Korea last month.

Anyone ever notice that the responsiveness of the touchscreen sometimes goes away? It will get sluggish and just plain unresponsive?
Happened to me this morning as I was scrolling through FB. Restarted the phone and it was fine.

Will try the Swiftkey because the swipe is not accurate in the stock ROM either, LG QC must be asleep because i noticed these the first day!!
Love the hardware too much but if the update does not come in 14 Days I will downgrade to the GIII.

YouTube App on screen buttons and notification bar

Its been a common problem ever since I have used the n5 and all other devices that use on screen nav bars sometimes the navigation buttons get stuck on the screen wile watching a video but is this a common problem with everyone or just me? I find it super annoying and I am wondering if it's a OS problem or just the YouTube App and is it something that can be fixed?
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
I have the same problem too. It seems like it happens every time after a "click on this for more" pop-up appears.
Was just about to ask this! It seems to be random too, I clicked on a different video and it was fine, but then it comes back sooner or later.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Ive found that if you click on the little "i" icon you can get a popup bar that you can dismiss. When i dismiss it the bars go back to normal. Works most of the time for me.
I've noticed it as well. Sometimes they disappear as they're supposed, other times they stay until the next video if I'm lucky.
