Hello everyone!
I've had my GN since April, and I'm loving it. Since the beginning I've had whatsapp installed on it, and used it extensively. It worked great, even on JB 4.1.1. I unlocked the bootloader sometime around the end of June, the beginning of July. Anyway, about a month ago, I wanted to try some custom roms. Tried AOKP build 1, and CM10, both of which caused issues with Whatsapp. I wouldn't get the notifications instantly. Instead, I'd get them in anything from half an hour to 2 hours later.
So I switched back to stock using the Nandroid backup I had done before flashing the roms. However, ever since then, I've been having issues with Whatsapp and other apps, Gmail, Facebook messenger, Facebook itself, issues I didn't have before. With whatsapp for instance, if I'm on 3g, the issue is still there, notifications are still delayed. On wifi is even worst, I don't even get them unless I open the app itself.
Gmail is delayed as well, not as much, and I certainly don't need to open the app to get the mail, while facebook messenger and facebook usually send me notifications I had already looked at on my laptop, and they send them the next morning.
You can see how this is annoying. One morning I read somewhere something like having installed a custom rom and using a nandroid restore to get back to stock causes issues with Whatsapp, no mention of other apps though. Could this possibly be the cause?
If not, anyone got any idea what might be, and how to fix it? I'm even willing to flash stock, and relock the bootloader, if it helps.
Did you try clean installing WhatsApp instead of recovering from a backup?

I did, three times, same problem. And it's not just whatsapp, facebook and facebook messenger are doing the same thing. Gapps work well, talk and G+ are instant.
I'm gonna say its the app.. since other apps work fine.. and facebbok just sux..

Force stop each app, then clear data.

Do you mean clear the cache, or actually clean the data?
Edit: No, that didn't help. I tried flashing stock, let's see what that gets me

When turning the phone off and then on, the camera flashes a light several times and it automatically sends previous text messages sent by me to other people again. Why is this hapenning? Can someone please post a solution?? Thanks!
this is actually a known issue
it seems to be a system bug
you can try flashing another ROM, or simply wiping the stock ROM and start from scratch
[Q] issues with SMS resending itself after reboot
I have been having a strange issue recently.
When I reboot my phone, the text messages that I have recently sent are being resent to my contacts, sometimes the messages are resent multiple times. It happens sporadically.
Anyone else have this issue?

I've never experienced this issue. Are you using a 3rd party SMS app? What rom is this issue happening on?

Are you using handcent? This specific issue is why I quit using handcent. If not, then I dunno, that's weird.

switch and use Go SMS
problem solved
hey! thanks for the reply. I tried flashing some different roms but the issue still persists. even though its not every time i restart my phone, it still happens randomly and its very annoying since people always reply back saying why are u sending me old text messages? So what do you suggest i do? I am currently on TricH's rom. how can i completely wipe the stock rom and start from scratch? please let me know! thanks.
which SMS app are you using?
the stock one that comes with TricH's rom
hmm... probably you might be better off using another ROM or a stock ROM just to see if there's any difference?
i have already tried other roms such as the beast rom but the issue still persist. even when i was on the stock rom, the issue was still there. Do you think there is a way to remove the stock sms app completely from the phone and then maybe i can download a 3rd party app?
i have been having the exact same issue. it started while i was on the stock telus rom, i then switched to the best rom and the issue was still occuring. I am now on the bombardier rom and the issue was gone for a couple of days and now when i restarted the phone, the issue occured again. so i dont know what is causing this problem. if someone knows a fix to this issue please help!
you can use TI to freeze it
Link2SD also has the Frezing option
This was happening to me. I narrowed my problem down to media scan looping, especially if you're getting it on a nandroid restore.
merged both topics, just noticed you 2 and a few other people you also have the exact bug
Had a thought... do you have any texts stored on your sim card?
nope nothing stored on my sim card.
ok so i think I may have found the solution to the issue:
i installed titanium backup pro then used it to backup and freeze the stock messaging app. I then rebooted the phone so the messaging icon disappeared from the phone. I then installed go sms pro from the market and using it as my default sms app. Tried rebooting phone after that and it has not been resending text messages so far.
*fingers crossed* hope this solves the issue for good! will update if issue persists.
Is anyone else having this issue? For some reason, I am not getting my usual Facebook notifications. I made sure that notifications is checked in the Facebook settings of the app. I also unistalled and reinstalled the Facebook app. I tried to log on to Facebook via my browser. I wipe and cleared the date/cache. Not sure what else I can do. If anyone else is experiencing this and/or has a fix, please let me know.
I have the same problem, but with Twitter
Same problem here.
Yeah I said it!
I know it sounds silly, but I am the kind of person that just needs my Facebook notifications. I ended up changing out Jedi for another Rom and will give Jedi another flash later on.
Facebook notifications notoriously suck on all ROMs...it's not the rom, it's Facebook. If you Google this, you will see that notifications are hit and miss at best.

This is absolutely, 100% true. It is a known problem with Facebook Android in general. Try Friendcaster instead. Notifications are at least somewhat more reliable with this app.
I have noticed that sometimes it doesn't work and others times it does work, FB in general though needs to make the android version a lot better. I am still running Jedi everything else seems to work ok.

What annoys me with that rom is the red box that goes around certain notifications. Soooooo annoying, so I went to clean

I always have a problem in getting notifications from FB. I also heard that FB is notorious on the notification with Android. I believe it's not just a Rom or a Note. I really hope FB release a new native app ASAP with much better notification.
I am having the same issue, it seems to fix its self and break again.
The big issue I am having is data on a phone call, I can't access any data when a call is active. I have reflashed the modem, done a full restore to stock and reinstalled the latest update for Jedi. I'm not sure what else to do other than try another phone.
Update, I tried everything to fix my data problem, I returned my phone to stock and triangle away'd it and took it back to the store where they gave me a new phone that ended up with the same data issue. I ended up asking them to change the sim card because I couldn't believe two phones had the same problem, and this seems to have fixed it. Yep a bad brand new sim card, its funny how the smallest thing can drive you crazy.
There's a new facebook update today. Maybe it'll fix your guy's issues? I've left Facebook so I can't really give my impressions to what you guys are getting.
My S3 is the latest stock rooted with Root66. Everything was working great today. I was able to send texts without issue. Just in the past hour, all my texts hang at sending. When I restarted the phone, it will send. I downloaded Handcent from the Play Store and it downloaded, but would not kick over to installing. After I restarted the phone, installation finished. I have not installed any new apps. This happens with both the stock messaging app and Handcent. I am looking at a text now that has been sending for the past 9 minutes. I have checked the settings, pulled the battery, and pulled the SIM and nothing has worked. Also tried deleting all the threads. Anyone else having issues? This is on T-Mobile.
Think I might have found the issue. The Smooth Calendar app automatically updated. I uninstalled it and everything seems to work better.
Youre right that is a problem.
Might I suggest flashing a new rom?
4.2 CMMod is good but with a few bugs.
Touchwiz roms..usually stable and a bit faster then the stock rom.
Maybe that will solve you're problem.
That or you might have been in an area where u had no signal lol

I just installed my first ROM after rooting my SGS3. AOKP seemed like exactly what I was after and I am not disappointed. Excellent work by the authors. Anyway, I wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, and installed. Everything is working perfectly except for one problem. When I send an SMS, the phone always says it failed to send even though it sent fine. The recipient received the message. Incoming texts are fine as well.
I tried with both the standard messaging app and Handcent SMS. So far the only message which managed to go out without an error was "Test", and I don't know if that was a coincidence or because it was so extremely short.
Internet and data connections are fine. Just that for some reason, it believes that the texts I send out are not making it even though they are.
I tried messing with the APN settings, messaging app settings, no difference. Obviously, texting was working fine before I rooted/flashed.
Does anyone have ideas as to how to fix this?
Thanks.
I have this exact issue as well. Someone respond please!

I uninstalled my 3rd party messenger and then went to settings/apps/all/messaging, cleared that ****, then restarted the phone and walla. I hate the stock messaging app but at least I can send texts now. I suspect the next build won't have this issue.
Are u running the latest build?

This issue has been fixed a while ago if you are using Tasks AOKP. But only stock messenger app works OK. 3rd party apps still don't work and the developers of those apps need to update. You guys should search. Its been mentioned many many times.

Thanks for that. Ya that seems to work. The messages sent without an error. Don't know yet if the other person received them. I'm on the 12/23/2012 build and there is a Jan one so I'll try that next.

Did search, extensively. Maybe didn't search for the right thing because even tho I found similar issues with SMS, none were this particular issue. I did all I could before posting here.
As for the developers needing to update - the messaging app I was using works just fine on the stock SGS3 so why would they need to fix it? Doesn't look like the problem is theirs.

Thanks for the recommendation. I installed the Jan.10 build and the problem is gone! Working correctly with both the stock messaging app and Handcent SMS.
Love it.
Hi guys, looking for a little help here. I have the Koodo Galaxy S2x, and I just rooted it yesterday using Odin and such. I've noticed that since I've done this, I have an issue with ny messages app once in a while. I'll open the app, and its as if i deleted my inbox-no messages-when I know I haven't. I can't recieve or send any texts while in this state. It seems I can go to my task killer and clear my RAM, and that solves the issue (temporarily). Has anyone experienced this? Its really annoying to have to constantly check my inbox to make sure its still working correctly...I'm running stock, by the way. Thanks guys.
P.S- Shortly after rooting, I switched from the stock Touchwiz launcher to Launcher 8. Could it be an issue with the launcher, rather than rooting?
Sent from my SGH-T989D using xda app-developers app
Back up any important apps/data (Titanium Backup), flash back to stock Koodo 4.0.4 ROM via Odin. Do not apply any root and use the default launcher. See if the problem still occurs, since it's a clean flash it shouldn't. Then go ahead and re-install any of the stuff you had backedup, recommend individually to check if it's a particular app that caused conflict.
Ahh, i was hoping I could avoid having to flash and restore everything, but if all else fails, thats what I'll do. I uninstalled Launcher 8 this morning and so far haven't encountered the issue again, so I'm crossing my fingers that the app was the issue. I'm thinking it was something to do with the way the launcher reads any unread texts and displays the number on the messages tile. Of course, I could be wrong.
