[Q] Text Messages Disappearing After A Certain Amount - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

This happened to me on my old note 2 on many various rom's, now it's happening again on my new note 2 running novella...
After sending a certain amount of text messages or mms's, it'll stop displaying new text messages and if I go into the text message list, nothing is there at all... Until I reboot, then all my new and old messages show up again.
Any idea's? Being a heavy texter this gets really annoying, it's happened to me 5 or 6 times today at least.
It happens in Go SMS Pro, Samsung default SMS and any other SMS app.

Found these two threads
Text Messages Disappear @ Android Central
Note 2 Text Messaging But @ Phandroid

Are there any reports of this happening on the S4? I saw it was happening on the S2 and S3.
So if it's happening on the S4, then the Note 3 is out of the question for me and I'll buy another phablet to avoid this issue altogether.

Sounds random among Samsung devices. Hasn't happened to me yet either stock or non-stock.

From what it sounds like and all I gathered from the 2 threads specifically about other Note 2 users having the same problem is TouchWiz is the culprit.
Dialing my own number letting it pick up and go to voicemail and then the dialer/phone fc'ing and hanging up afterwards fixes the problem until it randomly decides to happen again.
I'm thinking of trying a non-touchwiz rom and seeing what happens.

Never had that problem with TW.

Yup TouchWiz seems to have been the cause of my problems, been using PACman for a week now and not a single text message disappearing error any.
Just kinda sucks not usng TouchWiz it feels like something is missing a lot of the time, first time I went to take a screenshot I tried to use the S-Pen three times in a row then remembered. LMAO

Giving MyRom Revolution 7.1 a shot, it looks like the perfect mix of TouchWiz UI and Others...

Not sure what it is that's exactly causing the problem, I've even tried disabling samsung's sms app and it still happened sometimes, I never changed anything in the app settings, but it is odd that when I don't use a touchwiz rom I don't encounter the problem at all.
I'm really hoping they fixed it in the s4 and 4.2.2 and it'll be fixed forr the Note, S2 and S3 with that new release of jelly bean.
Trying out MyMiUi 3.5.10, to see what happens, kept getting a lot of FC's in MyRom Revo 7.1, but I do wanna keep some touchwiz stuff and it'll also be an interesting test to see if even though there's very lil tw integration if the problem still presists with that lil bit of tw incorporated in the system.

No one has asked this before but how many messages do you have when encountering this issue? As others have said it's not rom or tw related.

No real way to count and see how many messages I have when/till it happens.

I uninstalled Stock Samsung SMS App and it happens a whole heck of a lot less than with it installed...

Well uninstalling Stock TouchWiz SMS App is a solution pretty much I've found it hard to trigger the bug again it really only rarely ever happens anymore, before it would happen multiple times a day being forced to reboot and or dial your own number... So if ya don't wanna go with a CM Rom, this is the best way I know to avoid it from happening so often.

Im on stock touchwiz and I have over 10k messages stored on phone. Stock messaging app aways crashes when I try access thread with thousands of messages but go sms has no problem with this high count.

That's what I've been using too GoSMS, GoSMS has a default/uninstalled stock sms app option, where if ya uninstall the stock app it'll act as the stock app.

CM 6.1.2 mod... NOT SENDING TEXT ANYMORE!

I cannot send text messages anymore with cm 6.1.2, it keeps saying it's "sending." I flashed this rom three days ago and it was perfect until tonight!
What is going on help!

Should be in the Q&A section. Not in development. Do a clean wipe and load a sense based rom. Refresh your profiles and reboot. Then try sending your text message using HTC's messaging app. If everything works, then do a clean wipe and go back to 6.1.2. and try texting again.
I sure would like a robster craw.

Your not alone. I put this rom on my girlfriends EVO 2 or 3 nights ago and she just started complaining of the same thing about an hour ago. My first step was to reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, but the problem continued. Did a full wipe/flash again and still, same problem. Very odd! Also worth mentioning, market and many other apps are now FC continuously. I will be putting a HTC rom back on until CM7 is finalizes I suppose. Sad too, I finally convinced her to go with AOSP : /
I like cheese.

Thank goodness!
I thought I was the only one.
I love the rom though... It's really smooth and quick.
usually happens in AOSP ROMs when you are sending a larg (161+ characters). For some reason it is unable to break up the SMS. It's the only reason keeping me from flashing CM again.
ComputerJunkie, Which Rom are you using then? I love VaelPak, but CM 6.1.2 is so smooth and so fast! I guess I'll flash my Vael Pak mod that I backed up with CLockswork Mod. I tried to clear data from the applications settings, but still doesn't work.
I just got myself a new 004 evo the other day and so far I've been using Myn's Warm. It's very smooth and stable. The only problem I'm having with it is some SMS are getting put in a weird order (timestamp issues). Minor annoyance but I can deal with that since the rest of the ROM is very smooth and stable. I used to use launcher pro for my launcher but this sense version is so smooth and looks so good i can't go to launcher pro
ive heard people fixing the problem with handcentsms since it will break the msgs up into sections

My texts are coming in just fine so it might be a network problem for you. I just had a problem with timestamps which, after a full wipe and fresh flash, seems to have fixed the issue (so far).

That's true, I just hate using 3rd party apps since the one included is already good enough. I'm not looking for a ton of options. The more options, the more things can go wrong. I just want a good, solid, stable SMS/MMS client which the stock app does well.

Damn...
Guys I have a question and yes, it's probably a noob one.
I took your advices and download Handcent, but how do I stop the notifications for the stock messaging app? When I get texts now, I get both notifications. THANKS!

Go to the settings in the messaging app and turn off the notification. Also, uncheck auto-retrieve.
Yea when you almost get to page two, just stop typing, send the text and resume.

Can I ask, do you mean that if you try and send 1 text it sends 3 or so, or am I misunderstanding?
BANE
No, he means that if you send a text message, get a response and send a new text message, and sends another one you will get that warning message. It is meant as a security feature if an malacious app is trying to send multiple SMS's you will find out.
Saw a similar thread some days ago, but I don't know if they found a workaround for it or not.
Dude I am getting this to and it annoys the hell out of me I have i9250 with tmo and with ICS it didn't do this and I increased the number of texts for it to save and still does this.... I get this message after every text I was in cm went back to stock for jb and now dealing with this and there is just something about being stock I like better but I cannot deal with this
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Well, it's nothing to do with the amount of messages to store. It's how many messages you send per minute (or something) that causes that message to appear.
Are you using 3rd party messaging app?

Bump.
Have the same "issue" (even if it is not one). When I send two or three messages to one person in a reduced amount of time, the warning message pops.
Not something truly important but it starts to bother me..is it a control integrated in Android itself or just the messaging apk ?

Dammit you beat me to it, this fix does work if you are using most AOSP based roms, for some reason it does not work on Stock JB but so far has worked on any other custom rom ive tried. simply install open up app and accept what its telling you and you are good to go.
Wow, so good, seems to be working on ParanoidAndroid 1.9.92 with the APK. Thanks !
There are ways to remove that notification
There are some custom ROMs that have removed that notification. If you still see it, there are apps on Google Play (like SMS Limit Unlock or SMS limit tool) that can remove that limit completely. Tried both and only the first one worked on my Android 4.2.2 device, so you're welcome to give them both a try.
(And you will need root, of course...)
Set SMS message limit
Try to look under Settings --> Security --> App Security -> SMS message limit
I have it there and have set it successfully to 200.
of course - it is in settings

Android 4.2 Issues on Galaxy Nexus

Hello Guys
Let's share the bugs that everyone experiencing with the new stock JOP40C Android 4.2 for Galaxy Nexus
I'll go first
I have a problem when in a call the phone keeps doing a weird vibration and once i done the call i find the phone on the homescreen and have to go to the notifications menu to hang up
the other issue is randomly force close for the launcher and some apps
the camera is very laggy when rotating from landscape to portrait
anybody experiencing those issues ?
Ok guys anybody experiencing random reboot on the stock android 4.2 Galaxy Nexus
You can star this for Google to fix : http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39912​
I am not. Also, and unrelated, I'd like to point out the redundancy of your title. Android 4.2 issues on, say android 4.0.4 would be revolutionary, but as you've directed this... Anyways, did you update ota, or flash the image manually? I've read of many issues from the image flashes prior to ota, that I haven't experienced at all since my ota on my drive home.
In stock browser in full screen mode i'm having a weird effect on loading bar on top, don't know if thats supposed to be like that or not.. just strange and sometimes the adress bar becomes bugged strange behavour
Yeah you might wanna reword that title...
Anyway, this update SUCKS!!!!!!! I was trying to be positive about it... Focusing on the cool new stuff... But then that shifted to at least neutral with the crappy changes.... But now this just sucks!!!!!!!!! I just got my first launcher FC EVER!!!! On my galaxy nexus.
No root, never flashed, been stock all the way on this phone just like any regular user. I used to root on my tmobile g2 but decided to keep my gnex all stock.
So what he hell!?!?! Force closing stock launcher!?!?!? Are you freaking kidding me?!? This update is turning into a total joke, its not funny google! Your pulling anAPPLE move on your most loyal customers(nexus customers!)
EDIT: this is a rant.. I was pissed at how badly 4.2 has screwed my phone up. But no i didnt mean the part about being as bad as apple..
I do think 4.2 sucks though. Especially compared to 4.1.2, in my experience they seemed to have sacrificed new features and "style" over stability with 4.2

"the camera is very laggy when rotating from landscape to portrait" --> Yes, this is extremely annoying.
And also I find that when the camera shot in landscape mode, about 10% of the upper and lower part of the viewfinder are cropped (i.e. the things you actually shot are more than what you saw in the camera app)
1). I don't have problem with phone call
2). Yes, launcher FCed! But only happened once after first reboot after flashing factory image.

No, just needed to rant
Plus the fc had just happened like 5min before i posted that. It was weird... I was browsing here on chrome, then pressed the home button and tried opening the launcher, and it got stuck loading for like 10sec... Then fc'd. Soo i tried again and it got stuck again and fc'd. Third time it finally worked.
I expect these things on rooted devices or custom launchers... But on stock its just sad, especially when it's never happened before the ota.

GNEX 4.2 default browser
Hi
Really hope someone can answer this for me, I've got a stock GNEX just got 4.2 by deleting my Google Services Framework cache and hitting update. Everything seems to be ok, but I still have the stock (blue icon) browser, I thought the default browser is chrome on 4.2. Also I don't seem to be able delete it, no biggie just annoying to have an app that I'm never going to use.
Anyway to remove it manually without rooting etc..
Many Thanks in advance to anyone that can answer this
Only issue I've noticed so far is the camera rotation is indeed very slow on my phone too.
Now, in 4.2, every notification makes my phone vibrate. This doesn't happen with earliers versions. I don't know if it is a "new feature", but I don't like it.

According to Google : Chrome is not part of the AOSP but for the new devices such as Nexus 4,7,10 it's the default browser but old devices like Galaxy Nexus i guess for now the default browser will be the Android Browser , who knows maybe with next major release of Android that will change
As for how to delete the default browser you need root privilege to delete the app apk from the system apps using something like Root Explorer
I had three soft reboots already since yesterday (at least that I noticed, maybe more while I wasn't looking). This is a clean install (flash_all.sh from the factory image).
To hell with it, I'm going back to my beloved CM10.

Hangouts lag??

Anyone getting alot of lag when sending hangouts messages?
On both the LG G3 and this phone.
I have not received any lag at all with hangouts or the default messaging app on the note 4. I am however having issues adding widgets on the homescreens and keeping apps in my folders in the app drawer after reboots. beautiful widgets and hd widgets and widgetsoid widgets all act as if they were added to the homescreen but then when you get to the homescreen, they aren't there. I know the apps coming out of the folders in the app drawer were a problems on most other samsung phones after the first boot, but mine is happening after every single boot.
As for sending messages, i havent had any lag at all. If anything, my signal has greatly improved

weird.. wonder if it's something with the resolution.. It's not some kind of intensive activity though. It's just really janky when hitting send.. hmmm
If that was the case, then why wouldn't i have the lag issues then? Is there any other apps that are consuming your ram while on your phone? At least enough to bog it down while sending messages?
I also encountered this issue. If you downgrade to stock hangouts, there is no lag. The lag is pretty harsh ONLY when you are SENDING the message.
yup! just put my 1 star review on Google Play. hangouts is the worst. it's terrible on all samsung devices. it's practically unusable. it lags down swiftkey like crazy. the only devices hangouts works well with are nexus devices and aosp roms. it's terrible on LG, samsung and htc ui. ugh so annoying.

I completely disagree. No offense. I have used hangouts on my old htc, and all my samsung devices and have never had a problem at all. Ive used it on the s3, the rezound, s4, note 3 note 2 and now my note 4 with no issues.
Ill keep trying on my note 4 to see if i can duplicate the issues but so far it has been flawless
Do you have animations on?

Yea.. same exact experience Im having.
I even deleted my whole text database and hangouts message history to make sure that wasnt causing a problem. Tried clearing cache, data, re-installing, etc.
have sort of the same issue on my Galaxy Note 8 and my gfs Galaxy S4.. so many it doesnt like Samung for some reason. Dont have the problem on my old DROID RAZR M.
Oh well.. maybe it's something they will look into if enough people have the problem.
I get a small amount of lag right after I hit send, the paper airplane gets stuck half way thru it's animation then after a second or so it finishes it's animation and the message sends. Had this problem since the last update. Also affected my LG G3.
To whoever asked if i had animations on, i do.
I should also note that I am not running the tw launcher but nova instead until they can get the widget issue fixed. Not sure if that would have anything to do with it or not.
Some of you guys having issues be interested in trying a launcher form the play store and see if the issue still remains? Just fyi, themer is not compatible with the note 4 yet but all the others seem to work.
don't know how some people have it and some don't. i always suspected, though, that swiftkey might be a part of the culprit. swiftkey is the only keyboard i can use and type fast on, so i can't use anything else...but in hangouts it was always much slower than the stock keyboard. on my GS4 it was awful and lagged horribly. i miss google talk lol that app was perfect. never any lag. was always so quick on those low end phones..ugh!

Ok, with this new info, I am NOT using swift key. Beginning to wonder if that may be why I'm not dealing with the lag issue. It's weird that a keyboard would be lagging a messaging app though.

I've tried desperately to duplicate this issue in hopes to help resolve any problems. I have Uninstaller hangouts and downloaded from the play store just to make sure I'm running the latest version. I hate to say this, but I still have no lag whatsoever. If you're stock and lagging in hangouts, maybe uninstall and reinstall?
Sent from my SM-N910V using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
Same here, recently after thr upgrades, Google Hangouts has become worse. It does lag whike switching from text to emoji. Or as mentioned here by fellow XDA Member, that it lags while sending the message.
I could even feel the lag while typing. None other app has this issue. It has got nothing to do with what's in the background and what not. I stopped using Hangouts. Only use it to make Video calls.
Also, use any launcher. It doesn't affect it. Nova, TW, whatever. And the same goes to the keyboard too. I tried using Swiftkey, Swype, Google Keyboard, Phone's stock keyboard.
Reading some replies here, and I'm just giving my view. This lag isn't from the last update. You can say last few updates. Because before those updates, Hangouts used to work fine.
Hope there is a fix to this. I don't like downgrading applications. I better stop using them.

[Q] Recent Apps lag

Is anyone else annoyed at the 2-3 second delay in showing recent apps that I experience from time to time. As a matter of fact it never opens very fast, at least 1-2 seconds. If so is there a fix our should I hope that when lollipop comes to the note 4 it will fix it.
There is a noticeable delay with mine as well.
Moved to Q&A.
This has happened to me but in every aspect of the phone. Rooted, no xposed, and only non-essential bloatware/update services uninstalled.
It is only for 1/2 a second or so, but the phone glitches like it is thinking hard then will complete the action. I even unrooted and reflashed my stock rom backup and still have it.
Probably going to return it today or tomorrow as my 14 day grace period ends. Pretty sad. I've tried just about everything to get it to stop and thought my stock rom would solve the problem, alas, no.
Still stock and not rooted (yet) and have the same annoying lag. Everything else is quick though.
It's the only issue i have with the phone, everything else has been great. I'm sure this will be addressed in a future update unless it's that way for a reason.

Same here. Hope they do something about it.
I've noticed mine is doing the same.. Is there a Task Manager app available that will allow you to see apps running in real time similar to that which comes with Windoze operating systems? In my opinion, this would help me see what is actually lagging when it does lag.
I found this from another thread here at XDA.. Am going to give it a shot.

The link above is actually the fix for Xposed framework causing lag. Might help. Another help is turning off the animation which adds 1.5 seconds. Goto Settings/About phone/tap the build# several times until it declares you have developer options. Open developer options from the settings menu and find the animations and set to 0. Now the delay is down to one second even with Xposed framework. Solved.
One more thing, the build.prop may also need to be modified if running rooted stock. It took some googling and fixing but I finally got ADB working with the Starkissed kernel, ADB insecure and build.prop mods.
I don't have exposed installed and I have the lag as well. Watched and applied the fixes on this video and my Note 4 is way quicker! Totally amped!

I've tried all of that and I still get lag.

Strange, have you always had the same lag or has it gotten worse? After those few changes mine is very responsive. I'm also not using TouchWiz, I'm using Nova Launcher. Wonder if that makes a difference.
Are you rooted? I've heard some strange things about lag after rooting which does not make me happy. This is probably the longest I've gone without rooting and I'm getting the itch

Most likely from people doing things and using files intended for different models and wondering why crap doesnt work right amd coming back to the sprint forums with odd problems...... Scratch that itch, root and follow the steps mentioned on Numerous posts for getting rid of the lag.

Thumbs up Starbuck!
this phone out of the box does not lag . Rooting has nothing to do with it. IT'S what you have done either before or after rooting. Check yourselves gentleman it's something you have done..

The lag is better but not as smooth as my Note 3 on cm11.
I am the first to admit personal fault, and I'd like to admit fault as to something I've done, but I have Odin flashed the stock rom and recovery back on the phone, and the issue is still apparent. Maybe the phone is not properly wiping data on a factory reset(also wiped everything in TWRP before using Odin to wipe the phone) causing a file to stick around regardless of Odin, but it is troubling and annoying to say the least.
Since I'm out of the 14 day period, here is hoping we get a developer to build a unified AOSP ROM in the near future.
