I've been having various issues with my T999L for the last several weeks:
1) the phone will just crash without warning. This seems related to text messaging somehow, or to Handcent, as it most often happens while I am in the middle of typing a text message. However, it does happen on occasion at other times.
2) My phone will sometimes just lose the ability to send text messages. I've tried uninstalling Handcent and using the stock app but it doesn't help. Rebooting does nothing as well. I'll try to send a text and it will just spin forever. It can last anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes, after which I can send messages by deleting all pending messages and then resending them. I don't lose LTE data or the ability to make calls. only texting is affected.
Both these issues have happened on CM11 and PAC-man, so I'm not sure if my phone is somehow damaged or it's a kernel problem or what. I'm kind of hoping it's a known issue and there's a fix, but I haven't been able to find anything.

Ive had this happen a few times as well. When it starts spinning I turn on airplane mode and then once it comes on I turn it back off and usually the message will go through.
Try using a stock based rom and see if issue persists

Having an odd issue, and I can't seem to find any information on it.
It seems that randomly my text messages won't actually save to my phone. I'll get a notification of a text received, and the preview of it shows up in the notification bar, but when I go to check it (either clicking the notification or opening up the app), it won't be there. It's like I never got the message. It's not in either the stock app or GoSMS's database. It would do this when I used Handcent as well tho too.
Anybody else have any issues like this, or know of a fix? I'll have to reboot my phone several times, or even try sending myself test messages to see if it fixes itself or not.
Edit: seems similar to this person's issue: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/te...ggestions/90512-text-messages-not-saving.html
In the last month or so my SMS has not been working properly. My phone doesn't send or receive all of my text messages. I will be sitting next to a friend and watch them send me a text and I will never receive it. It isn't every single text but it happens too often and is quickly becoming a big deal. It has been happening for the past month or so, which coincidentally is when I started using q Sense 3.0 rom. I have no idea if this is what caused it though. I also have problems where when my phone turns off, whether I restart it or if it dies, and I turn it back on it sends random old texts to random people.
Any insights on either of these two problems would be greatly appreciated.
Well since you said it kinda started to coincide with when you put that ROM on... try a different ROM for a while and see if it starts to work or not. That would be the first thing I would try.
I'm running Calk's rom with the Rogue Outlaw kernel right now, but it's been happening ever since I first got the phone, even before I rooted. Sometimes incoming or outgoing texts just won't arrive...it's like they just disappear. I don't think it's an LOS issue, because I still have full bars, instead of the "no" circle.
Is this happening to anyone else? Am I just missing something?
Yep, happens to me every now and then, if I reboot the phone, I get them.
Only way I know I get them is I use google voice, so texts come to my phone and my computer. I hear my computer go, and I wait for them on my phone, never show up.
Oh, good call. I've noticed that if I send texts through the google voice app, they always go through, but if I try stock, handcent or Go SMS they just randomly drop, or show up hours later. Called Sprint, and they said that there weren't any service issues.
No idea what's going on, but it's annoying as hell.
Note: this has happened with versions 4.1.x and 4.2.x both, always on a rooted stock image (I do not use any custom roms on a regular basis).
The Problem:
After a call that I initiated (regardless of the call duration, happened after 1minute calls, aswell as after 20+ minutes calls) then phone stops responding after I move it away from my ear (instead of turning the display on and letting me terminate the call). After that the only solution was to pull the battery or to wait for a "application not responding" message. On the ocassions where I was waiting for the ANR screen after force stopping the application everything went back to normal.
The occurrence of this seems to be totally random, and I was not able to reproduce the problem on purpose. I've tried to do a manual force stop + clear data/cache for com.android.phone but that didn't resolve the issue.
At times it seems like its fixed, not happening for days or weeks, and at times it strikes after 3 calls in a row.
The particular error was happening even after full factory resets and stock image flashing.
Any ideas?
This started happening pretty much immediately since I installed the 4.4.3 update late July, and has just gotten worse.
For a single one of my contacts, the SMS app lags HORRIBLY whenever I am doing anything with said person. It takes about half a minute just to load when I click his name, and the phone keeps completely freezing for up to 10-15 seconds EACH letter I type! It's not just the SMS app itself, but even the keyboard freezes up and is unresponsive. I can keep typing and it will apparently actually record the next 30 or so taps and just blaze through them ... then lag for another half minute or so again. None of the settings (how little there are) have had any effect. Once I click send the message also takes a bit before it appears and starts to send. Any action with this contact open in the SMS app seems to lag my phone like a unusable nightmare.
Since this is the person I tend to text the most, I have been tempted to crush the phone in my hand at this point. It is ONLY happening with them, and ONLY after the 4.4.3 update. It's not consistent either; I was still having this issue earlier today, but right now as I wanted to text him again it was working perfectly lag-free.
I know the first response anyone is going to say is to wipe my phone, but with this being the only issue I have, I really do not want to completely obliterate everything and start over from scratch just to fix one person in my SMS app. On top of that, I want to keep my SMS texting history as well. (Plus I would have no idea if restoring a backup wouldn't also restore the issue).
Has anyone else encountered or heard of anything like this? Or has any ideas of anything OTHER than wiping the phone or my SMS history I can try? Considering the app only pre-loads the last 10 or so messages when you open a contact anyway, I highly doubt it's my history. I am going nuts with this stupid thing.
It is probably something in that message thread.
Deleting all messages from that person will surely fix it, based on what you've said.
You can try wiping the messaging apps cache. Other than that, I think you're stuck.
Second the opinion above. If it's only one message thread doing it, seems likely it's something unique to that thread. Too many messages, pics, etc. I used to use Titanium Backup to save messages between rom flashes, back when I cared about them, so a backup app can save the messages, let you delete the thread and see if it still happens with a blank slate.
