It doesn't seem to matter what rom im on, but eventually, sooner or later, suddenly i open the sms app and everything is gone.
I dont know whats going on. Its happened on stock and AOKP and CM10 roms. Anyone know what I can look into to fixing this, im getting really annoyed that im losing important messages if i dont constantly get anal about backing them up.
Are you doing both cache and Dalvik wipes before flashing?
every time, and system data

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.
Hello, I have a weird situation on my hands here and was wondering if you might be able to help.
Firstly...
HTC incredible.
CM-7.0.3 stable (most recent)
CM kernel2.6.37.4 #27
Overckocled 1.1GHz
radio 2.15.00.09.01 (going to work now, need to update, just saw it was outdated)
Long story short.
my phone has been working fine, no issues whatsoever until yesterday. Yesterday my Market app and browser started crashing as soon as I started them.
Today more things are crashing, and at a much higher rate of failure. Normally I would just clear the cache, and the applications cache, and the problem would be fixed (this has been a problem in the past) however this is more than just one application.
popup error reporting reports that specific applications have failed (market, browser, etc), but I also get general "framework" crash popups. Ideas?
Side note. I am also noticing a very long startup time on restarts, much longer than in the past.
I have not made any recent changes to my phone (over-clocking, kernels, radios, ROMS) other than of course installing apps.
Warning message example.
com.android.market
com.google.processes.gapps
android.processes.media
Ideas
first thing i would do is clear cache and dalvik cache and try fixing permissions.
If those don't work which I won't be surprised if they don't I would...
clear all data and reflash the ROM. Quick and Painless with titanium backup.
I already cleared the caches and fixed permissions.
I know re-flashing everything will work, and I have doen that in the past, however I am really tired of it. It seems to be mort stable now, and almost fixed completely. (I didn't change anything after repair attempts stated above)
My question is really what ic causing this, and is there anything I can do to stop this from happening.
If this is something that happens all the time.... must be something you are specifically doing.
My friends inc was doin the same.thing. I couldn't even get into Rom manager or titanium. Never ran into that problem before in almost a year with the inc. Reflashing was the only thing that worked. As for the cause... its a computer. Computers don't need reasons to go hay wire.
There was a time my inc wouldn't stop rebooting... multiple times a day... very annoying. Did everything including goin back to stock. One day after a couple months of that crap.... it just stopped randomly rebooting...
Well...
Firstly I agree, but dont know why...
This happens with different severity levels on average .9 times a month.
The strange thing is that I do nothing specifically at the time to cause this. No kernel installs, reflashes, rom updates, radio updates, or anything specific. It is just general use. It is not as if this happens as soon as I do anything in particular.
Any thought on any specific configurations that might cause this to happen over time, or settings that I can change? I would understand this happening on a system update, or major change, but that does not seem to be the cause in this case, or any other times this has happened.
What I would do...
Go completely back to stock. Run that for a month. If it STILL happens... take it to Verizon to exchange for a new one cause this isn't normal.
Thats the thing...
Hmmm... I have considered doing that. I am not sure I want to go through the trouble. Any other thoughts? (assuming that the phone itself is fine for the sake of this thread.)
Ive sort of tried to search this one (How do I search JUST the Epic 4g section of XDA??) and found no one describing this problem the way I do...
This is my second time having this issue, and the fix for it last time was a pain in the ass, so id like a new fix-
Every app, every aspect of my phone, continuously resets/reloads. This is most noticeable with Hancent SMS, as it saves a message as a draft when you close out of the app... Well, right now, ill be typing and "message saved as draft" will constantly pop up at the bottom of the screen (about once every 2 seconds), and the phone will lag and it will erase 1 or two characters(making me look like I cant type :silly: ).
If this was the only problem, maybe I could live with it, but it affects everything. Launcher Pro randomly/continuously resets. The notification bar often resets while trying to pull it down. The phone app will close or freeze as soon as I start receiving a call. Sometimes it'll play my ringtone without a way for me to answer, other times I never knew I missed a call unless they leave a voice mail... And sometimes its worse than others, sometimes its fine for an hour, then something goes stupid and even a reboot doesn't help. For instance, right now, it was happy. I launched aLogcat to check it out and now the screen orientation REFUSES to stay one way. Even setting the phone down, it switches directions every few seconds, which makes aLogcat reload and therefor its unusable.
I haven't mentioned what im running because Ive had this exact same issue on a totally different rom, almost a year ago, but im running-
build - SleeperROM_3.0.0_FC09
kernal - 2.6.35.7-Shadow-FC09_v1.0
baseband - S700.0.5s.FC09
firmware - 2.3.6
Ive had this happen on EB13 on the EpicExperience ROM too.
SOO, if anyone has advice on how to fix this, id be extremely interested.
On the other hand, last time I had this issue I was convinced it was a corrupt piece of memory somewhere early in the OS, something I corrupt during install, and I went ahead and reflashed and wiped and reflashed and wiped and returned to stock and etc. etc. etc... and that seemed to work... actually, I dont know exactly what part of the process fixed it, thats why I do not want to repeat it unless I have to... BUT, if someone would like to explain/point me in the right direction. I'd like to know how to DELETE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE and FLASH as CLEAN as possible. (that is, if no one else knows of a fix for my problem)
thanks all!
Err, well only thing I can think of is a truly clean install using Odin. This means do not restore any data from backups. Then slowly begin installing applications 1-by-1 through the play store website (for speed sake) to see if your issue creeps up again.
It also couldn't hurt to format your SD card too. Corrupt data on the SD card can cause some wonky things at times.
get another device...i hope u have the equipment protection plan
Thanks for the advice guys OFF TO THE ODIN MACHINE! haha.
Before I start with this, please forgive me if I have touched on something that has already been covered, but this is driving me crazy.
As of recent, I have noticed my phone is locking up while I am on a call. Kind of intermittent, so it has been hard for me to track down the source, but so far this is how it is working:
When I am on a call, I will pull the phone from away from my face and will notice it is locked up. It will freeze on the call screen itself, but I am still able to talk to the person on the line for about 10-20 seconds and then it kills the conversation. The only fix is to pull the battery and reboot.
At first I read somewhere this happened to others on the ROM I was currently using (Build 3 of Slimbean). To fix I figured I would revert to a build 2 version, but still had the issue sometimes. Flashed tasks AOKP and it was still doing it (seemed more frequent actually). Currently I am downloading a TW ROM and will be testing that as well.
At this point, I am pretty sure this is ROM related as it is only locking up when I am on a call (maybe 50% of the time and at different times)and it would be odd for hardware to be the cause of it. Just seems weird to me.
Before it is mentioned, I am using TWRP and never do dirty flashes. For testing purposes, I have been wiping cache, dalvik, factory reset, format system and formatting data. Never had this issue before and I dont recall having it before most AOSP roms updated to 3.4.

It's quite possible that your phone isn't handling the 3.4 kernel very well. Although, did you try Task's last update (4/9)? I haven't had lockups on the last couple builds.
But if you keep getting them, revert back to a 3.0 kernel/ROM build until 3.4 is more stable.
This started happening pretty much immediately since I installed the 4.4.3 update late July, and has just gotten worse.
For a single one of my contacts, the SMS app lags HORRIBLY whenever I am doing anything with said person. It takes about half a minute just to load when I click his name, and the phone keeps completely freezing for up to 10-15 seconds EACH letter I type! It's not just the SMS app itself, but even the keyboard freezes up and is unresponsive. I can keep typing and it will apparently actually record the next 30 or so taps and just blaze through them ... then lag for another half minute or so again. None of the settings (how little there are) have had any effect. Once I click send the message also takes a bit before it appears and starts to send. Any action with this contact open in the SMS app seems to lag my phone like a unusable nightmare.
Since this is the person I tend to text the most, I have been tempted to crush the phone in my hand at this point. It is ONLY happening with them, and ONLY after the 4.4.3 update. It's not consistent either; I was still having this issue earlier today, but right now as I wanted to text him again it was working perfectly lag-free.
I know the first response anyone is going to say is to wipe my phone, but with this being the only issue I have, I really do not want to completely obliterate everything and start over from scratch just to fix one person in my SMS app. On top of that, I want to keep my SMS texting history as well. (Plus I would have no idea if restoring a backup wouldn't also restore the issue).
Has anyone else encountered or heard of anything like this? Or has any ideas of anything OTHER than wiping the phone or my SMS history I can try? Considering the app only pre-loads the last 10 or so messages when you open a contact anyway, I highly doubt it's my history. I am going nuts with this stupid thing.
It is probably something in that message thread.
Deleting all messages from that person will surely fix it, based on what you've said.
You can try wiping the messaging apps cache. Other than that, I think you're stuck.
Second the opinion above. If it's only one message thread doing it, seems likely it's something unique to that thread. Too many messages, pics, etc. I used to use Titanium Backup to save messages between rom flashes, back when I cared about them, so a backup app can save the messages, let you delete the thread and see if it still happens with a blank slate.
