When I try to mass text more than two contacts my phone freezes, I would select contacts that I want to message and then try to type my message the screen goes black, but the notification bar remains. Can't do anything so I have to just hold down the power button to restart phone. Tried typing message first and then select my contacts, but I still get the same problem. This doesn't happen when texting one or two people. Did a factory reset but the problem still persist. What could possibly be the problem and is there a fix? Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. I'm rooted and using stock Touchwiz with CWM recovery.
Clear cache for the messages app and try again. Is this a recurring problem or has it come up only recently?

I have never been able to mass text, so it's a recurring problem. How would I go about to clearing my cache for my message app, I'm using the stock app. Sorry, I don't know much about this, I'm new to rooting and smartphones in general.

Huh. You couldnt do this even on stock (unrooted)? Because if the unrooted stock base has this issue, then all custom stock roms will too...you can try making a nandroid and flashing another custom stock rom, it may just be an issue with what you're on
And no problem, everyone was new to this at one point
To clear an apps cache, you go to Settings > Applications > All apps tab, select the app you want, then wait for the app info page to load and tap the "Clear cache" button

Thanks, went to clear my cache, there wasn't anything to clear. I think I couldn't do this even on unrooted stock, I don't really remember. I've already made a backup before doing the factory reset, which I've now restored and currently using. I'll probably try to flash another rom to see if the problem exist on them as well.

Hey,
Starting today, whenever I open the Market application, its window appears and immediately disappears. It doesn't say anything about a force close - just disappears.
I tried connecting to Wifi and disconnecting from Wifi.
Connecting to mobile internet and disconnecting from it.
Shutting down the phone multiple times.
Doing it will charging and while not charging.
Nothing works.
It keeps happening.
Ideas, anyone?

what do you mean by "from recovery"?
i tried doing Settings --> Applications --> Manage applications --> Market -> Clear cache
cache has been cleared, Market still closes as soon as I open it...
any other ideas?
Sounds like a screwed packages.xml (in /data/system) - I had this issue as well. Do you have root? Then you could try to use Titanium Backup to fix it or you have to delete it.
no root

no, i don't have root...
i was thinking of doing it though, regardless of this issue...
can you answer a couple of questions about that for me? (kinda off-topic but i might just go ahead and root the device and then follow your advice)
1. if i root - can i still do a "factory reset" and get the phone to how it was when i first got it?
2. if HTC pushes updates after i've rooted the phone, can i install them? and if i then do factory reset, what would happen?
3. this one is pure curiosity - if i DON'T root the phone, and install some update pushed by HTC, and then do a factory reset - will i get to the pre-update or post-update condition?
thanks!

i have same problem here,
frist i thought it was software err...
flash a different rom...
still cant connect to google...
Im using Insertcoin nightly V40 and i Upgrade my desire to Insertcoint nightly V50. I perform FULL WIPED. My problem is every time i download in to the market it always stuck in " Starting download", I try different kind of solution and it didn't work and also i cannot log-in on G-talk
Have you wiped dalvik, if you haven't you should do it, even after a full wipe, it helps
Sounds more like an ISP problem. Can you connect to another website?
Also tried using a different radio?

I have this issue on RCMix and Insert Coin. The solution is very easy. Go into Market, select what you want to download. Exit Market. Go to 'Talk', press menu and select 'Sign Out'. Go back to Market and your download should start. Furthermore, go back to talk and you'll find that that works too, as if you hadn't logged out! I did get a freeze once when going back into Talk but it's been fine ever since and you only need to do this the once to cure the problem.
I got the same problem on v51,
Deleta data of
Google Checkout(Sometimes it's HTC checkout, still delete)
Talk
Market(cache as well)
and also the remaining apps with google in front of them(let the one with back up stay)
Reboot,
This worked for me
A few months ago, using ROM manager, I upgraded my ROM from Revolution to cyanogenmod 6. I then updated frequently, following all of the nightlies with great success. I jumped onto CM7 when it came out and it worked. When I tried to update past the first release candidate, however, I noticed my stock Browser, Gmail, Maps, Google Documents, and Google Reader now crash. I even cleared all caches and data upon updating.
BROWSER and MAPS problem description: Both programs begin to open up and refresh themselves and then almost immediately disappear--sending me back to the home screen of my phone.
GMAIL and DOCs let me see myheaders, but when I click on one, it starts to open, blinks and attempts to refresh a few times, then sends me back to the list of message headers (gmail) while Docs sends me to the phone home screen.
Again, I am not getting force close messages. I have tried using ROM manager to fix permissions w/ restart to no avail. I tried redownloading Google Apps from ROM manager for 2.3.4, reflashed the Gapps, still no go.
I am completely baffled. Does anyone know what is causing the problem?
Tried a complete wipe? As in wipe data/factory reset, format boot and system?

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm sweating over here.
I just wiped data/factory reset, format boot and format system, reinstalled ROM w/ Gapps from ROM Manager, fixed permissions.
(1) The stock Browser still closes itself w/o opening any pages (no force close message). Just has Google's web address in the bar at the top, looks like its going to open it and POOF. Gone. No force close.
(2) Maps - Opens, zooms in on my location, looks good and then POOF. Gone. No force close.
(3) Gmail - Shows me headers, seems stable, click on header, looks like it's opening, white screen swipes in, sends me back to headers.
Basically, not much changed after the wipes.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: I am using an Seiko(sp?) extended battery. Could this be a factor?
If you are using cm7.x.x, make sure you are installing the correct gapps. make sur you are installing the gb-gapps for cm7. Hopefully that wil work for you.

I downloaded the newest gapps in Rom Manager and applied. Same issues.
Just to be sure, this is what I consider a full wipe:
In recovery:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Under Mounts and storage:
Format boot
Format system
Format cache
Format data
Under advanced:
Wipe dalvick
Back to recovery:
Install rom/gapps
Use cwm 3.0.0.7 for amoled
Use cwm 3.0.0.8 for slcd
Do all of this from recovery, not through rom manager.
That was some seriously detailed instructions. Wow - much appreciated. Followed to the detail in case I missed something that I didn't wipe. *FINGERS CROSSED*
Argh. When I booted, punched in my Google account, the Market installer came up, checked all, ended up in endless Market white-screen loop. Let it sit for quite a while, the beast never stopped, restarted. Got to the home screen and tried opening the browser... still not working.
Between this and last message, I restored my old 7.0 ROM and like I thought, it was still working. *MIND BLOWN*
Not sure what else to try at this point. I've never had a problem installing gapps on cm7. If I think of something more, I'll certainly repost.

Thanks again for your time and advice. I just hope someone else sees this and has more suggestions now. Take care.
I keep getting this message popping up "The application Open Sense Plugin Manager (process com.htc.opensense.pluginmanager) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Then it makes me "force close." I do not receive new text messages or emails at all! Also, none of my settings save. I can't use my alarm or my new voicemails do not show up. I am very confused. My phone is rooted and has been for some time with no issue. If anyone can help I know XDA can?
Are you on a custom rom at all?
Either way, sounds like a software issue, which a factory reset should most definitely clear up.
Yes I am using Konies Elite and have been for 9 months or so with no issues. I dont think its the rom but rather the phone im not quite sure. If I do a factory reset will I lose my root and all my current apps and settings?
Hey,
Yeah just back up any data *text and what ever else you need* and do a factory reset and it should fix your issue.
If you are rooted try wiping cache data and dalvik and reboot the rom and your issue should be fixed! If not try a new rom
I hope I helped if I did please hit the thanks button,

You can also boot into recovery/advanced/fix permissions,that should work,try that before erasing everything.

If it was a hardware issue, you would have more problems than just Sense closing. That is a software issue for sure. Since you are rooted, you dont have to do a factory reset, just re-flash the rom from recovery. Be sure to fully wipe data/cache/dalvik first to ensure everything gets installed correctly. You will not lose root, but you will lose apps, which can be backed up and restored with Titanium Backup
Just wipe cache and dalvik and flash the rom over itself you will keep your apps and data but it will reinstall all the stock apps and data from the rom so if you accidently removed something or something corrupted it will be replaced/repaired

did you at any point between flashes, factory reseted the device?
did you try clearing app data/cache?
concerning nova launcher, you should post this under its related thread
concerning stock launcher, you should try and reach [email protected] groups
people flash all kinds of stuff but one ANR (application not responding) comes along and all hell breaks loose. get adb logcat when you're booting up/entering Android UI.
i can't wipe data or cache as i have stock recovery.I don't have CWM. i will upload the logcat soon. Thanks

if you press up (or up+power) on stock recovery, it will give you a recovery menu if i'm not mistaken (i may not recall it correctly).
and i was talking about the app data/cache that you clear in Settings > Apps as well, not just the ones in recovery.

Here is the Logcat. I already wiped everything when i flashed stock rom 4.0.2 with XXKK6.
Launcher not Responding
I'm getting a similar problem with my new Galaxy Nexus. I'm running stock ICS 4.0.1, kernel 3.0.1 on the bell mobility network. I've installed a few apps, but nothing which seems too unpopular. Here is the list I had installed when the launcher was performing flawlessly:
Swype Keyboard
Draw Free
Bell Mobile TV
Volume+
Here's what I've installed recently since launcher has become unstable:
Flashlight v. 1.3.0
Skype
StumbleUpon
TED
Sudoku Free
Here's whats been installed since:
Tip n Split
Antivirus Free
RealCalc
Quite regularly I am getting the "Launcher is not responding" message with a request to wait, report, or close the launcher. The home screen will lock up temporarily and none of the buttons will become usable. I've checked the ram usage, and it is holding at around 400mb. Clearing a bunch of apps from the cache or running screen does not change the frequency of freezes. I have also tried resetting the Nexus to factory defaults without any new apps, but it only took about an hour before I got the 'Launcher is not responding' message.
Anyone have any ideas for re-stabilizing ICS?
Thanks!
There is a part in the logcat talking about a channel that is unrecoverably broken... seems 1 of the fc's, power outage or something else left a file half written in your system.
Try performing a factory reset (which will wipe all userdata and give you a clean system)
if this doesn't work and you've had your phone unlocked reflash the system, boot and recovery again (using fastboot) (how to do that is explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391881 )
If you have not tempered wit the system in any way (not rooted, no custom roms and no custom recovery) send it back to the store and get it fixed under warranty. When you can't or don't want to contact your seller proceed with reflashing your system at your own risk.
