Messages App Issues - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

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?

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.

[BUG] issues with SMS resending itself after reboot

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.

FC22 and FC24 "Contacts" app not responding well

I've been using the FC24 and also I've tried the FC22 ICS builds. Overall they're pretty good besides the aforementioned notification issues, some general lagginess around the UI and VPN not connecting (for me). GPS has been great.
The one thing that has been a show stopper for me is the Contacts App being very unresponsive. If you click on it, it'll go to the first page and nothing will load. I'm also having problems with my Groups appearing. If I can't get these to load, then I can't contact people very quickly.
Are others seeing this? Any tips?
I have tried TWlauncher and the regular Launcher (no difference). I've tried FC22 and FC24 (currently on FC24) and no difference. I've synced, then unsynced my LinkedIN and Facebook contacts (that seem to minorly help).
I'm probably going back to the EL29 and just flash the FC24 modem, although I like the ICS features if they all worked.
(sorry for the new thread, but the FC thread is too long for people to use anymore [plus its largely off topic now] and searching got me no where)
So for me on the goodness 3.1 with the AOSP contact app I get FC's all the time for acore. I am just going to put up with it till the final release since I have this rom all fixed up to my liking. But with your issue and what I'm seeing it rally seems like something deeper then the contact app, maybe the contact storage is the issue.
That's disappointing. It seems to be able to load an individual contact just fine if you search or if you place a contact on your home screen through the widgets menu, but the groups are a no go for me. Even if you access the groups through an app like Handcent (which uses a hybrid of the normal groups and handcent's own display).
I had the same problem on early builds.

Was a solution ever found to this, I'm having a similar problem on an FD24 rom that I just flashed and have had it on every other rom I've tried for the last two weeks as well, basically my contacts aren't responding at all starting about 15 minutes after I flash the rom, freezes as soon as I open the contacts app and contact widgets are non-responsive as well...it's happening with using romtoolbox to restore apps and just doing a complete fresh install of all apps from the market
very frustrating and I'm kind like reddragon in that I have everything else set up exactly as I want it now, except this issue
My wife's contacts did the same on FD24 and continued when I upgraded to FD26 without wiping data. To fix it I just backed up everything with Titanium and used sfhub's One Click odin FD26 that wipes data. Now, contacts works fine and I restored her apps no problem.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Yes. It's a Festivus miracle! FD26 (and FD24) fixed this.
If it happens again, you can clear the contacts storage in the Applications menu. Then let everything resync.
FD26 is something special. I have yet to find a bug (that affects me).

[Q] Whatsapp and other push notifications

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

[Q] Messaging apps keep quiting

I rooted my phone for the first time the other day and have had a TON of problems getting my apps and data back. I installed cyanogenmod clockwork and it worked fine up until i had to get my apps back. Once i got everything back, my messaging apps keep quitting like the second i open it up. I also keep getting errors like exchange services quit and stuff like that. A lot of people said to install go sms pro. I installed it and it didn't quit, but i sent a message to my friend and it didn't work. I clicked send and i went back to the messages screen and it wasn't there. So I'm not really sure what to do. I have android 4.2.2 with 3.4.45 cyanogenmod kernel if that helps. I'm new to this so I'm not sure what info you need. Thanks
Install another custom Rom like Task650's aokp. As for backing apps and messages and stuff, use Go Backup or Titanium Backup
Good luck!

Could be a syncing problem? Where are you contacts getting "updated" from?

I had the same problem. So, when I updated my ROM, I didn't reload my contacts. I just let Google resync them, and the problem was gone. Hope this helps.

I had a similar issue and my phones dialer actually froze I couldn't make calls or anything. Also was getting the message android process acure had stopped. I know that message is realated to syncing and contacts I belive but my only soulation was to wipe everything and reflash my rom. It has worked so far. Just hope it won't freeze up again.
