Hello everyone,
About thw past week or so I have been having this problem. I flash a new rom and for a day or two phone works fine, but then sms freezes and crashes. I open contacts app and it says that its updating contacts list but never does.
I end up re-flashing the rom for the problem to go away, but sure enough it happens again. I've had this problem with 2 different roms. I have also odin back to stock and rooted again, but same has problem occurred. Has anyone else had this problem ans found a solution?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

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.

Last night I updated my wife's Epic to DK28. The problem is her contacts are gone and syncing doesn't bring them back. Why wouldn't they have saved to her gmail am I overlooking something. I have flashed my phones a lot and never had this issue.

check google/contacts online and see if her contacts are listed there. My wife had a similar problem and turns out when she added a contact she added them to her phone address book and not google.
http://www.google.com/contacts
They are not there is there a way to add them to Google after they are back in the phone?
Sent from my SPH-M900 using XDA App
can you get them back on the phone? Are there a lot of them?
I had a similar problem on the syndicate rom a while ago. It would say it was syncing for a second then stop. I also noticed when i went to facebook.com and tried to install the app from there it thought my phone was something other than the epic. I resolved the issue by using a different ROM. I don't know if these things are related, but that might be a start...
Yeah luckily we found her old phone and transferred thru bluetooth but I am tryin to figure out how to get them to google in case this happens again. As far as the rom she was totally stock di18 not even rooted for 5 weeks and I updated her to unrooted dk28.

You should be able to export them from contacts via the import/export menu option. This will create a file named something like 00001.vcf(vCard file) in sdcard/external_sd/. Then go to the google contacts and import it. Hope that helps!
Ok I will try that. Thanks alot guys.

Just make sure when she adds any new contacts that she adds them to google.
Stupid question but she does have syncing turned on in her contacts right? After they're restored try to force sync, then check her google account from a desktop/laptop to see if it worked.
I've not had much luck with the import export v card feature. I recently had to delete all contacts on my phone, then go to my google account via desktop, export all contacts to google.csv, delete all contacts online, then reinstall online from the google.csv file in order to fix a syncing problem.

I think google may be having an issue at the moment. My phone is saying that Sync is currently offline and will be back shortly.
Yeah her sync is on I just don't get what happened. I have reflashed my epic about 10 times without issue. And my moment ugh probably 75-100. Never lost contacts it has been automatic since I got my first android.

After my last rom flash I had a situation where any time I added a contact on the phone it got deleted after syncing. No idea why but a google search lead me to others that had the same issue.
I think this OS still has a lot to be ironed out. I wish they'd stop adding features and just make a decent contacts app. I can't for the life of me figure out why I have to select which of the same four phone numbers I want to dial when I try to call a contact that is synced to multiple accounts, for example.

sometimes when i have synching issues, i fix it by going into 'manage applications' and clearing the data for that app. i've had to do that with gmail.... it erases and re-synchs the app, and afterwards it works like normal. of course, only do it if she does indeed have her contacts backed up on Google... otherwise they will be gone. not sure if this will fix hers, but just saying it did fix my synching issues a few times.
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.
I just installed my first ROM after rooting my SGS3. AOKP seemed like exactly what I was after and I am not disappointed. Excellent work by the authors. Anyway, I wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, and installed. Everything is working perfectly except for one problem. When I send an SMS, the phone always says it failed to send even though it sent fine. The recipient received the message. Incoming texts are fine as well.
I tried with both the standard messaging app and Handcent SMS. So far the only message which managed to go out without an error was "Test", and I don't know if that was a coincidence or because it was so extremely short.
Internet and data connections are fine. Just that for some reason, it believes that the texts I send out are not making it even though they are.
I tried messing with the APN settings, messaging app settings, no difference. Obviously, texting was working fine before I rooted/flashed.
Does anyone have ideas as to how to fix this?
Thanks.
I have this exact issue as well. Someone respond please!

I uninstalled my 3rd party messenger and then went to settings/apps/all/messaging, cleared that ****, then restarted the phone and walla. I hate the stock messaging app but at least I can send texts now. I suspect the next build won't have this issue.
Are u running the latest build?

This issue has been fixed a while ago if you are using Tasks AOKP. But only stock messenger app works OK. 3rd party apps still don't work and the developers of those apps need to update. You guys should search. Its been mentioned many many times.

Thanks for that. Ya that seems to work. The messages sent without an error. Don't know yet if the other person received them. I'm on the 12/23/2012 build and there is a Jan one so I'll try that next.

Did search, extensively. Maybe didn't search for the right thing because even tho I found similar issues with SMS, none were this particular issue. I did all I could before posting here.
As for the developers needing to update - the messaging app I was using works just fine on the stock SGS3 so why would they need to fix it? Doesn't look like the problem is theirs.

Thanks for the recommendation. I installed the Jan.10 build and the problem is gone! Working correctly with both the stock messaging app and Handcent SMS.
Love it.
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?
Sent from my SGH-T989D using xda app-developers app
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.

So far I have lost all of my texts randomly, even had all my photos wiped out once. Also having a problem with Whatsapp messaging sometimes saying the messages are corrupt and having to install back up, though not sure if this related to the other issues.
Is anyone having this issue or had it?(I am using TPR right now, and have used many other roms and this issue is persistent regardless of what I am using, so do not think this is a rom issue)

Have you tried doing a factory reset then wiping everything and reflashing the rom?
Yeah, I do that each time I install a new rom.
