Mms keeps crashing - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Just out of the blue it will crash and I have to restart. Been going on for a couple weeks now. I've cleared data, I've reset phone aand I just reflashed the rom yesterday. I'm running the stock rooted rom. Been on that for entire time.
Something else I can mention about this, even though it doesn't crash always when I'm getting a pic. Friend sends me a pic. I see the pic and another that falied to download. I click download and poof. Mms crash. I restart and get a seperate text thread saying something about invalid message. I've since lost the ss I took of it.
Just to see one time it crashed I went into the market and installed textra. It loaded and worked fine but wouldn't pull Mms history. Restart to clear the Mms out of failure then uninstall/reinstall textea and then it pulled all my history from Mms.
I'm sure I can go on and on about this ....
I'm confused why all of a sudden when its been fine for a long long time

Messaging app still crashing and its really pissing me off. When I open messaging it shows all my history for a millionth of a second then shows the no messages screen. You know just the envelope in the middle of the screen.
Is there a moddified secmms I can try. Maybe something pulled and modded for use on the note 2. Even If I have to download a whole rom and pull it myself.
Anyone have any suggestions other than using a play store app

[Q] Messaging App Routing Problem.

Tried googling around and wasn't successful; maybe I just used the wrong tags..anyways
I've noticed this issue quiet a while back and never thought of it; but recently it seems to of been getting worse..no Idea why because I haven't changed my setup
But; what happens is if I send a text message then open up another app; I.e browser, irc, ect, ect.. then press the back button when I go to open up my messaging app again to reply or send out another text it'll open up the previous app I just backed out of.
This is seriously annoying because I can't get to my text messaging threads at all and have yet to find a work around to fix this except rebooting.
I've tried clearing cache and that hasn't seemed to work. If anyone has any other ideas i'll be glad to test and report back.
Nothing? Nice help guys

[Q] Sms Force Close when i try to open it.

So this has probably been posted somewhere and im probably breaking some moral codes of the forum... and yeah im my world is going to literally fall apart if my problem doesnt get solved and its THE MOST important post on the forum just like every other post.
but. Im running SyndicateRom frozen 1.1.0 and i started getting these google.framework yadda yadda force closes....those are not so much the problem but annoyances.
My problem is that i go to boot my phone this morning... notice theres no new texts...which i expected at least one. go to open the messaging and BAM forceclose. no options to wait. the menu only flashes saying fc and sends me back to homescreen. after a while a little 9 appears over the messaging. Idc if i have to reflash my whole phone....i just want those 9 messages how can i retrieve them?
or rather is there a place in the phone where the sms' are stored in which i can back up to a compy and view or in the phone after a reflash it?
im desperate with curiosity. i never get 9 messages and they may be important.
TL: DR Messaging FC. want messages i received before wiping.

Have you tried to go to settings -> applications -> manage and clear data for your SMS app?
Yeah... it was to no avail
Grab an SMS app like Handcent from the Market.
I have a feeling your /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db is jacked. See if u can open it. This is where all ur txts are stored.

i got as far as /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony and nothing shows up after that?
If you cleared the data/cache for the messaging app and it's still happening you're probably gonna have to re-flash. This happened to me once and that was my only fix. You can try backing up the messages in Titanium but if you're getting force closes I don't know if that'll help.
I am having the same issue as well. I am running syndicate rom frozen 1.1.0 with the vision kernal 1.1. A few days after The first time I flashed the rom and kernal I got the numerous force closes. So I wipe the device, cache and dalvik reflashed the rom and kernal but I only restored my apps with data using titanium backup and not the system data. Now I am just getting the force close with my messages.
i ran into this and was instructed by our wonderful mod to go advanced>fix permissions in cwm. worked beautifully, and i was just about to wipe everything
I did this...then everything died.
Once i booted back up EVERYTHING and its mother started FCing from launcher pro to keyboard to google framework to clocks....everything.
I had no choice but to reflash. Fingers crossed this round.

Sounds like bad data. I had this same exact thing happen to me. I was being a lazy ass and not shutting down properly before switching batteries. I reflashed SFR 1.1.0 and shut down properly now and have not had a problem since. Maybe a similar scenario is corrupting your data.

Thanks for this. My gf started to freak out when this started to happen to her was thinking flash was only way to fix. I ran fix permissions in cwm and now working again no reflash! Saved the day
Find and flash the journal on zip to decrease the chances you will get this again. It usually caused by an improper shutdown.including running the battery all the way down.

Gmail stuck on"sending"

I've had this happen before as well, and sometimes I think it might be something on Google server side, like it can take longer than usual for them to send an acknowledgement of reception? Idk.

Force Close the app and reopening it also does the trick if you do not feel like clearing cache and the like. It will work for a few and be fine then go right back to doing it.
Yeah, I've gotten this on pretty much every Android device I've owned. Pretty common problem and I wish Google would fix it. I just force close, clear cache..then resend.
will this happen with the other email app that came with this phone?
And how do you clear the emails cache?

settings/apps/find Gmail click on it and you can clear cache from there
I've had this happen a couple times before too. The first time, I didn't even know about it until my sister mentioned she never got a reply for so and so email even though I clearly remembered replying to it a week before that. So I went into the app and looked at my outbox and there was about 7 or 8 emails stuck in there that couldn't be set.
Made me a bit mad to say the least. And a year later, we are still having this issue.

I only ever had that problem with stuck outbox when I had a battery saver program "juice defender" running. Works perfectly ever since I stopped using and uninstalled the battery saver app. I read in another thread that those apps do more harm than good.
+1 to clear cache and data
I have had this happen, in over a thousand or so sent emails, four times, it was the same day, and only on 3g trying to send photos as attachments for work.
This has never happened when on wifi. I want to clarify that I use both gmail and the samsung included email app (I like it better for multiple gmail account usage for a few reasons I wont go into here). The samsung app, though it takes longer to load emails (even on wifi) I just like the feel of it better. Gmail sending is usually instantaneous, both apps have been super stable for me, I have adjusted their settings to run to my ideals, which includes hourly pings.

Hey, can someone shed some light as to why Clear Cache button is greyed out in the Gmail application? All I have is Force close and Uninstall updates. Everything else is unavailable.
Thanks in advance.
I have had this problem recenlty, I had to remove my account from the phone and add it again. It even stopped downloading new emails....smh
I think it's google though not the phones

[Q] Messages app working too slow!!

PLEASE HELP! My messages app is working soo slowly! when I open a conversation, it says 'Loading' and after about 5 mins, the conversation opens up. It's so slow! Why? Is it because I have all the messages stored in my phone memory? or is it something else? How to make it fast?
yeah same problem here. Weird. Thinking its all the past messages. Guess you have to delete the conversation every once and awhile. Oh well.

Hi, I have the same problems . Your phone is repaired. Replacing the motherboard. After 10 days the problem is back. Yesterday I made a factory reset, 2 minutes today I opened SMS. I reported this problem HTC and they know nothing about.
Sorry for bad English.
Go to app info of messages, from there select clear data. It will probably solve the problem....or do a factory reset..

After much frustration with the slowness of the message app, I tried this and it worked very well so far:
From within message app, select Menu...Settings...General... and uncheck the first three (all three) options under "Recipient list settings."
I guess that limits your search options from within the app. For me I probably don't use that function anyway, and even if I did I would trade it for a quicker app. To me, text messaging is worthless if it is not quick, otherwise I would just call or email.

Synergy Rom for Sprint GS3 Question!

I am planning on flashing the new Synergy Rom for Galaxy s3, I see it is available for all carriers, but there is no dedicated thread for it on the sprint part, I see it is on the Verizon threat and it says works on all carriers....is there any other files I need to flash along with the main zip to make it work for sprint, or is that included all in that one zip.
source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792499
It's all included... some reports say that with Sprint you need to flash, let it try to boot (it won't boot) and then dirty flash over top of it again and it should boot up

It works well. But you can't update profile/prl. Also if you want to install custom kernels must be Sprint versions.

Synergy ROM + Ktoonz w/ Team Kernelizers tweaks
Phone not yet activated message Sprint S3
Just flashed the synergy ROM, and I could not get the phone to work. I re-flashed it several times, and tried all of the options in the setup before flashing. The data worked fine. The phone would dial Sprint customer svc for a second, and then say phone not yet activated. I had CM 10.1 on there, but that was not for me. I wish this would have worked, but I suspect someone here knows the fix. Maybe a bad download? It took 1.5 hours over slow hotel internet.

unnntil I "lost" data connectivity (it turns it off when you remove the icon in the quick access menu.) And tried "restoring" a good data connection. That made it mad and now I'm back to no service. I am an idiot. I'll re-re-re-re flash it tonight and see what sticks.

I've noticed this as well. I didn't think it would matter at all though. Everything works GREAT that I tried. BUT I found out after using it all day today, that it has a flaw with sending and receiving MMS... For me anyways. I can get on my 3G connection just fine and it pulls up websites, sends and receives emails. The phone also calls out just fine and sends and receives SMS no problem. Everything works great except for the MMS (be it pictures or an audio recording)
I've tried - Updating profile - didn't work
- switching my data connection from LTE/CDMA to just cdma.
- Wiping internal SD card (not just data/cache but the whole SD card VIA cwm) and reflash rom
- I don't know what else to try
Anyone have this problem? Anyone know what I may do to resolve it?
I've looked around and I got to the point where I entered in a special code which would reboot the phone and activate it. Too bad it didn't work and I had to restore the stock rom for it to do that process (Hope it doesn't charge me an activation fee)
Thanks so much for any input! I like the liquid smooth rom I'm on right now, but man I love the camera too much on the touchwiz roms and so far it seems like this synergy not only gives me the speed of aosp but the look of touchwiz and the note2 camera. Would be nice if i can get around this hurtle
Update on my above post
Just an update - I got the MMS to work by using GO SMS from the play store. I thought it was a long shot to install a different messaging app, but now I can both send and receive MMS! It still wont work through the normal messaging app (Sending MMS results in it acting like it went through, but never reaches its destination. Receiving MMS would constantly ask me to download it, then fail when I would click the download button.) But then when I go into this go sms app and try to download it, it works just fine, and sends just fine. The options in this app seem pretty awesome for a free app anyways so I'm actually kinda happy I had to find a workaround
It seems when I downloaded this app, that the messaging app would often forceclose after receiving a mms. To eliminate this, I just went in the messaging app and turned off notifications and auto retrieve MMS. no more force closes
Hope this helps anyone else who may be having this issue!
Have a great weekend!!!

Thanks for this info! This new Synergy ROM is very nice, and I had not noticed the mms issue until today. Mine actually rebooted a few times while the messaging apps fought it out. I think I have it sorted now. I am glad I continued to try getting Synergy installed.

Did you click the activate this device button under settings? That is completely not necessary.your phone its already activated otherwise you wouldn't even be able to make calls. The activate button is for when you first get the device it activates it on sprint's side
