some problems I've noticed with my note 2... - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

This phone is great but I have had 3 reoccurring issues.
The first is that the phone just ends calls sporadically with no rhyme or reason. It could be after minute, 3 seconds or 24 minutes.
The second is sometimes it goes silent for notifications, blocking mode is not on but I have to restart the phone to correct it.
Third is my second Gmail account doesn't push notifications anymore and I find it difficult to retrieve or send my messages.
Had anyone else experienced these issues? What can I do to correct them?

Am but the issues were there before and two other people have told me their phone just hangs up sometimes too.

So your saying the phone had problems even on stock no root? If so unroot and if the problem persists then take it in they will most likely exchange it due to faulty hardware

My phone hangs up sometimes as well. At random times and places. On all different roms. Even stock deodexed roms . Not enough to bug me but it can be annoying if you're on an important call. I haven't had the other issues you stated though.

She's lying lol
Sounds to me like the problem is on her end not yours.
If texting everyone else works fine except for texting to her.....

It's either a problem on her end or plain and simple she's lying. If you really want to get to the bottom of it, next time you're with her send her a text and look at her phone that's the best answer anyone can give you. If she really does not get the message the problem is on her end.

I've seen similar things happen, seemed to be a network problem, account problem or phone not checking in type of problem.
Has it continued since she got all the back texts all at once? Does she receive texts from other people or miss those too?
First try a simple reboot if you haven't already. Send her a text and if she doesn't get it have her toggle airplane mode on/off. Try with wifi calling on and off.
Back up contacts and messages and in Application Management clear cache and data on contacts, dialer storage, dialer, and messaging.
It'd be strange for the battery to cause that, but put the old one back in and test it out.
If her phone is rooted, make a nandroid. Try a different modem. Try clear dalvik, cache and if needed data/factory reset.
If all fails call tmobile and ask to reprovision the account.
Good luck!

Did you try adding just in delivery reports for sms and mms?
Also is this intra or inter carrier. That can cause a delay as well.

Sms disappearing

Randomly while sending texts or receiving them, my texts randomly disappear or auto hide when I open the app. Other times you can see the messages for a split second then they will disappear saying "your message inbox is empty".
There are also times when I will be in a conversation Window and after replying to a message the message content will disappear and when I back out there will be no messages there either.
Anyone know what the hell is going on? I've restored, deleted cache including dalvik and even installed a new rom twice. The only reason I rooted was to fix this issue.

I am currently running Odexed blue by Team Vennum. I only flashed this rom and rooted because i lost all ability to copy/paste AND this started happening. I was "putting up with" not being able to copy/paste, but once this happened a few times on stock, it was the last straw.

Messaging Issue

So when I'm sending a text, sometimes the cursor will keep moving to the front of a text and not continuing and I have no way to fix this. Other times, it starts erasing everything I wrote. Anyone else experiencing this? If so, any non root related solution?

Did you check to mske sure there is no moister on the phone? Or that your hands are not touching the screen?
Try rebooting and or wiping the cache on the app

Same thing happens to me
thought it was just me hitting the wrong thing, but happens all the time...
I've seen this happen multiple times on all 3 devices that my family has
Yeah i don't know why. I've checked it all, tried two different messaging and keyboard apps and did a factory reset. No luck. It's really hindering
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2
I have this problem too at times. Not enough to piss me off. I have heard people having success with GO SMS Pro. Might bork your MMS though.
Happens to me as well, i start typing then all of a sudden im at the beginning of the text still typing. I thought it was maybe a bug with Swiftkey or maybe i was accidently touching the screen but it guess not.
Tried it on another 3 og's
Same issue
Yea I have the same issue and I thought it was the stock LG keyboard. So I downloaded the android 4.2 keyboard and I'm still having the same issue. I'll deal with it for now because the 4.2 keyboard is legit and it only happens once in a while.

I called Sprint, I'm taking it in and will probably get it replaced since not everyone has it. Hopefully an update fixes this or there's a rom that does

It is NOT your hardware. This is a software bug in the messaging app. I discussed it HERE already. It's not the keyboard. I've tested multiple keyboard and multiple messaging apps. The problem resolves with a different messaging app. I've used GO SMS and now I'm using chompSMS.
This bug annoys the hell out of me and is the only reason I'm checking the forums every single night for an AOSP ROM to flash. I'm sure this will be resolved with an update to JB, but who knows when that's coming.
Try GO SMS, chompSMS, Handcent or any of the other Messaging apps in the market and this won't happen to you. Do not freeze your stock messaging app or MMS won't work.
This is a known issue at work. Our LG rep said we should have a fix out very soon. It is not a hardware issue and replacing it will do nothing.

Skype and Nexus 4

Hey guys, so I was wondering who else is having problems with Skype on their N4. I know I am because when I use Skype, after about 4-5 minutes into a conversation, my side gets cut off, the conversation becomes choppy, and my friends always complain why they cannot hear me. Our simple fix so far is just reestablishing the call, but that gets annoying (especially since we are usually on a game and chatting). Anyone else suffering problems with Skype?
Kind of a stupid question, but is it hardware failure (like my mic just randomly gives out on Skype) or is it just the app itself?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Try Google Hangout. If you still have the problem, it's likely a system issue. In all likelihood it's a Skype issue. Maybe un install and reinstall?
No issues with Skype here except for high battery usage.
I use Skype for about an hour every day it consumes about 30-40% of the battery.

I have tried that, but still does not work for me. Still get that problem. I am already starting to think it could be a hardware issue because of the person who posted below (Who I am quoting also).

Weird. Are you still using stock ROM or a custom ROM? If a custom ROM, which one? I am currently running on Android 4.2.1 (Stock ROM). I am even attempting to reflash the stock ROM to see if it would be resolved.
I use MoDaCo custom rom and no issues with Skype, both in 3G and Wi-Fi

I think your earpiece is broken, you should do RMA.

Sorry, this is a stupid question, but what's RMA?
Also, I'm sure it's not an earpiece defect because it's the mic that acts up while I use Skype. Whenever I talk with them, I'm always using headphones. So I think I should be more worried about the mic.

I'm not going to lie, I had this issue as well on 2 calls with Skype in the past week, but I thought it was an issue with my Internet connection. Now I'm wondering what's going on exactly. Is there any way to test something like this? A faulty mic? How would one go about testing that if it's not a consistent sort of thing?

The same cut off probleme for me.
I use the CM10 nightly.
i ll try the stock to see.
I'm on stock ROM and have no trouble with Skype. I've used it for about 30 minutes on video calling, but it wore my battery down as well as used a lot of data. No doubt, the video and sound quality were both excellent.
Using CM10.1 made video call yesterday okay.

Yep this happened to me a few times before. Im guessing its the app ..
when the skype voice call goes into someone's voice mail nexus hangs
Hi everyone, I have a strange problem with skype on my nexus4; I have a nexus 4 running the stock 4.2.1 running and everytime i call someone if they pick up the phone everything's okay, but if they don't pick the phone and it goes to voice mail, my nexus 4 hangs and it does not become responsive unless i power the phone off and back on, and all this while the voice mail keeps going on. Similarly if the other party does not hang the phone the call just stays on and phone hangs again, i know this is a really weird one, please do let me know if anyone has seen this or something similar before.
I am stock 4.2.2 (no root) and have only used it once (short audio call). Worked OK except bluetooth is broken with old headset (phone audio profile), which works great on Nexus S using Skype and Nexus 4 with the native SIP client.
Skype has been a hit and miss with the various versions over the past few years and much more unstable since Microsoft got their hands on it.

Text messages failing to send after JB update.

I have been noticing all day today that randomly text messages will fail to send with full bars of service. Anyone else experiencing this problem after updating to JB? Never had a single text message fail to send prior to the update.

Same. When the messages were "failing" they were actually getting sent three times in a row. I also had trouble receiving messages. This was the first time I have observed this problem.

Try updating prl
failed messages
When flashing is done, you have to update PRL and Profile.. it should fix those issues.
This is done through settings-->> system updates
I am already using the latest prl. I made sure of updating that and the profile right after the jb update. Seems like the problem has gone away for now at least. Hasn't done it today at all.

i have the exact opposite problem lol. in bad reception my text gets sent about four times
That's what I meant. When I have bad service it will say sending for a long time and sometimes it will say it failed but it sends multiple messages.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
1st thing I did after flashing the update/radios was to update profile and prl. Happens sporadically here too.
other type of data issue.. but similar
Ok so my problem is that when using k9 mail and i try to email an exsiting contact, it fails every time. If i copy and paste the address into the email field, it works just fine.. Also my texting sends but it's slow to send... used to be semi instant, but takes several seconds. Any ideas, i have. updated PRL and Profile several times.
Texting
The only problem I have had with texting since the update us that when i try and hit send after typing text its greyed out not green...usually ill exit out of the stock app and go back in and do it again and it will send....usually have that problem few times aday...
Okay so this problem only happens when I am at work with decent signal. Doesn't happen anywhere else that I have noticed. Didn't happen before jb update. It is also sending multiple times my gf says.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
See this happens to me at first when i was stock on ics. Messages triple send with latest prl and profile even though it showed sent once. It stopped with a different ROM. Both on lifeless and imperium initiative.
Same here. Texts often fail to send. And it's a toss up, sometimes when it says it failed, it is received and sometimes not. What I've figured out, is that it's mostly on short messages, consisting of 1-3 words! Long messages almost always send fine. MMS, no problem either. I've updated profile and PRL and done a soft reset. I've tried other messaging apps, like Chomp and GoSMS, no dice. Never happened until the JB update.
I made a thread about this a week ago. I did not see this one.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2205523. Still no fix from sprint or have I found any true fixes on here yet. Has to do with the new radios that came with jellybean. This seems to be more problematic in the Chicago area. The only option currently is to go back to ics. It would be nice if someone could figure out how to install ZV7/ZV8/ZV9 radios on jellybean.
Make sure you contact sprint, so they are aware of the problem.
