Seems that Words With Friends will freeze without FC on ICS. I've tried this on several ICS roms all with the same freezing result. Any ideas on a fix?
Its a problem with words with friends.....there is a lot of people running ICS and Honeycomb on different devices that are all having FC and other problems with it
If its freezing after every time you play a word, right after the ad, try pressing the lock button, then unlocking your phone. Its annoying, but it keeps it from freezing, for me at least.

I had this problem on superlite. After the ad, it would freeze with a black screen, and i'd have to close it with the task manager and re-open it.
Awkwardly enough, reflashing the ROM fixed my problem. this seemed to be repeateable cause it froze up on my when i tried smoothie as well. but a reflash fixed it there =\ not sure whats going on with words with friends.

Did you ever find a solution to this? Did you try reflashing your rom as recommended by other responses in this thread? I have flashed almost every ics rom, some a number of times, and it always occurs. It is the only thing keeping me on GB roms now that Embryo has (almost completely) solved the ICS tethering issues on the skyrocket.
The only thing I can think of left to do is email Zynga and ask them to fix their app to make it compatible with ICS. However, I am running ICS on a TPrime and it has never occured, so can't be sure it is just ICS. And it appears that not every phone has this issue on ICS. However, do a search on XDA on "words with friends" freezes (put words with friends in quotes, then add freezes) and you will find a lot of posts on this topic for various phones, but it appears to occur most often on CM9 roms on various phones as well as ICS skyrocket roms.
Mine does this as well, and the app says there is an update, but when I go, it says my phone is not supported.
I was having this issue as well, and even though I hate doing it, I found a full words with friends w/ no ads apk and side loaded it.
Removing the ads fixed the freezing issue.
That is the only recommendation I can offer.
As someone mentioned, if you lock your screen right before the ad, that usually saves it from freezing as well.
I have the ad free (paid) version of WWF and it's still freezing up on me.

If you're on a custom rom, you might want to see if you have "ad blocking" or whatever that is where it blocks some ads from loading properly. I forget what exactly you need to do to fix it, but I remember I googled it and found a solution using root explorer (maybe deleting a file or altering it). It's at least worth a try

After I received the MR2 update my Tbolt texts the wrong person about 1 out of every 12 times. Not like the old problem where it pics the wrong thread, like every HTC phone I have ever had. You clearly see you have the correct thread and when you hit send it looks like it flips a page on the screen and sends it to who ever the phone feels like. This is embarrassing and quite unacceptable. I am stock and I have tried deleting all the texts and I hard reset once and it still does it. What gives?
Lol. I know what u mean..it has happen to me a few times and has almost got me in a lil bit of trouble if you know what I mean..it is very annoying..I'm rooted so instead of using the HTC messaging app I deleted it and installed the vanilla android (aosp) messaging on my phone..runs better with less lag, doesn't put mms as a slideshow, and best of all no wrong text sent. I have yet to figure out a solution to the problem tho unless you wanna use handcent or a another app similar.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Like above, I'd recommend a replacement app. I personally use GO sms and I havn't had it send a wrong message unless I didn't see to the person whom I was typing to.(which happened once lol) Maybe that is the best method other than rooting
I had the same problem and I couldn't control who the messages would go to, I'm using handcent and haven't had a single issue since. I go back to stock and it happens again. I don't think it's just the Thunderbolt as I've seen threads on forums for other phones that have had the same issue.
This is a bug, it was fixed in GB.

I disagree. Perhaps the particular bug you linked in that message has been fixed with GB, but I have seen text message bugs using Sense 3.0.
The most common occurrence for me is to try to open a text thread, and it opens a thread from someone ~5 threads down. I have also opened a thread, sworn it was the correct person, and then upon closing the keyboard noticed I have a different thread open. This can cause some serious issues, and I can't believe it isn't talked about more.
I have had this happen using froyo and GB Sense Roms when using the stock app and GoSMS pro.
Count me in no more sexting as it will get you in trouble lol. No seriously I've had this happen on.every Rom. I'll text persona and it shows sent but personb will receive.

First download the aosp mms.apk and place it on you memory card..I used root explorer...open it up and scroll to "system". Select it then select "app" you will then see all your system applications. Scroll down till u see "mms.apk" ...at the top right of your phone u will see a selection dat says "mount' selct it..then long press "mms.apk" and select delete. After doing this then reboot your phone. When it is back up go back to root explorer and scroll to "sdcard" and selct it..find where u saved the aosp mms.apk then copy it ..now back out and return to the "system", click mount on the top right of your phone and paste the aosp mms.apk into the system..then u need to set permissions. Long press on the new mms.apk you installed then select permissions..the first row of boxes should be checked already and on the second row just the first box..select ok..click mount on the top right of your phone again then reboot your phone and there u have it

Hmmm, I wonder if this is an issue with Sense ROMs or the radio. I'm running CM7 so I dunno how it would affect me, but so far, I haven't had an issue.
This does remind me of the problem I had with my Droid 2 before I went to the Thunderbolt. It wouldn't send texts to the wrong person, but the damn messaging app would delete the wrong thread every time. I go to delete a thread with a long-tap, and it would delete a thread a few spaces down instead. It was freakin annoying as hell.
it's annoying. I have to remember to delete all threads to insure it doesn't text the wrong person. Texting the wrong person happens more than twice a week.
Weird, I've never had this happen.
I've had this happen on the original software the TB came with but since using mr2 or cm7 I've yet to have it happen.

I had it happen already a bunch of times, perhaps once every 2 or 3 weeks. Extremely annoying but thankfully hasn't caused any serious issues (yet). Still its happened enoighbto make me actually feel cautious about texting. I just recently switched to handset for this very reason to see if it continues.

is there anyway to fix this?

Came stocked with gingerbread 2.3

Haven't had this issue since moving over to CM7...
Known issue no fix, other than trying a different rom. What really sux if you tap before the lockscreen comes up you fan bypass the lockscreen. Doesn't always work.I'm still on froyo, gb ....not impressed.

Its because the lockscreen is an app and sometimes it lags to start up when you unlock your phone.
I thought it was part of the phones software.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I think it is because the GPU is turned off to save battery and the graphics ram is not being updated. The lag is the GPU starting back up. That screen is like a ghost image. I don't believe anyone who says they can click on an icon before the lockscreen comes up and bypass it. I would have to see a video to believe that.
Happens to me too. EB 1.07. Also, sometimes when I press the power button the lockscreen is bypassed. This happens once in a while.

Flash Sky Ice Cream Sandwich Rom is Amazing!
My girlfriend got her Galaxy S 4G around January and everything was going really great for her. The problems seemed to arise when I updated her phone from Froyo to Gingerbread through Kies. Since then, she constantly sees random force closes, typically while using Navigation, Browser, Contacts, SMS, etc. There is no popup saying "Bla bla has randomly closed...." etc, it just shuts back down to the main screen. Sometimes this will repeat numerous times (trying repeatedly to go to the contacts). I rooted her phone and flashed ICBINB, wiped cache, dalvik, permissions, etc. etc. but the problems have not changed in the least. Has anyone seen or experienced anything like this? It seems like no matter what I do, the phone is just doomed. Only thing I haven't tried (and am seriously considering) is reflashing back to stock Froyo; I don't think she'll mind, as long as she can use her phone peacefully. Thank you for any and all help.

Just an update: new from is great and she loves it. Still experiencing force closes, however. Seems the biggest culprit is opening the phone app and clicking on either the contacts or call log tabs. Those love to shut down (with no message) all the time.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA
It's actually not force closing...i had that problem before and it would happen randomly. It got to the point where i was trying to quickly select a contact or start a message before it would return to the home screen. I never found out what was causing it though. Try a new kernel. I think it happened less or went away. I haven't had the problem in awhile and i think that was the only difference. I'm on erikmm's miui now and haven't had that problem.

Or try something like GoContacts EX from the market. It is a dialer and contacts. Theme it. Customize it. I find it a lot better than stock.
Maybe reboot to recovery and fix permissions. Only use a third party app once you get the stock working. That's like putting a bandaide on a cut that needs sutures.

If you don't use stock stock dialer or contacts - it is not a bandaide. It's a replacement.

He stated the forces closes is when opening dialer and contacts. He has been pretty good at giving info on what he is using. So it's safe to assume it's the stock dialer/contacts app.
I don't disagree that using a third party app can/is nice. But if there is a problem with the stock it needs fixed first. Eventually it will create bigger issues if not fixed. Plus the Rom he is on there shouldn't be any problems.

I appreciate all of your help and suggestions regarding the matter so far.

I'll try fixing permission for the heck of it, but I did that when she was running ICBINB to no avail.
I'll post an update as soon as I flash a different kernel, but despite all the drama she loves it more than ever!

Has anyone figured out what causes the keyboard to stop working in messaging?
I can hit the first letter, and the keyboard will bring up predictions for what I press, but it won't enter any text into the field.
To fix it, I have to back out of the conversation and return to it to be able to type again.
It does it with all keyboards, too.
I can't exactly figure out what causes it to stop working. Before I thought it was locking the phone in the middle of typing, because it would sometimes be unresponsive after unlocking, but I've also had it be fine after unlocking, and I've also had it stop responding in the middle of me typing.
That's the only issue I've had with AKOP, apart from the wifi toggling thing, but that's a well-known bug.
