I received a text and I went to view it and my phone froze, I locked and unlocked the screen and it unfroze, but when I tried to view the message, the thread just says loading and will not load any messages. This is the same for any thread of messages I try, but when looking at the messages at a glance I can see the preview of the most recent message, yet it wont load. I tried restarting the phone a few times, but the problem is still there. I can see the preview of the most recent message, but still cant view the thread. However, I can send messages and view the entire thread by downloading a third party app (Whatsapp in this case). Anybody able to shed any light on why this might be/possible solution?
I really hope to get out of this without restoring the phone...
Thanks!

go into settings/applications then find the messaging app and try clearing data and cache.

Forgot to mention that I also tried this, did nothing.
But thanks for the input!
I've been searching and have only found one other thread about this problem. No answer on there either. I also have the problem where it doesn't notify me of new texts and the camera app crashing and not working till I restart the phone.
having same issue
I really wish there was more feedback on this issue because I just started having this problem today and this is the only thread I've found that addresses this topic. It started doing it out of nowhere. There was nothing that I could think of that I had done before this occurred that could have caused it. I'm tryin to avoid a factory reset. I have TiBu backups of everything but the fact is that this shouldn't be happening IMO. What should I do?

If you've tried clearing the app cache and data, I don't think there is much else you can do. Just bite the bullet and factory reset.

First off, thanks for your quick response. I did clear the app cache but the clear data was grayed out. I figured I would have to do a factory reset but I wanted to see if anybody had a resolution to this issue first before I did. Thanks again. Guess I'm bitin the bullet

I have Galaxy S with Android 2.3.4 JVR and it works like a charm - with this one exception: sometimes (too often) phone, contacts and messages (sms) keep closing. This happens usually within a second or two after opening up them. There's no force close message, it just returns to the home screen without any warning. If I reopen it, it usually does the same a couple of times, but eventually I get it to open.
At first I thought this must be a memory issue. However, I have Autokiller installed (my phone is rooted) and I have usually >100M free memory. Then I thought it must be Autokiller killing the dialer, contacts or messages apps. BUT: this happened also before I had Autokiller installed, so it can't be that either. The strangest thing is that I tried installing GO SMS Pro and GO Contacts + Dialer, and even they do the same thing occasionally (close immediately after I open them), so it isn't a problem with apps either.
I am bedazzled here, could somebody please help me? This starts to get really annoying, since the dialer, contacts and messages are the feature you normally use most in your phone!
I have the exact same problem! Somebody, please help
the phone app and etc. seem to be corrupt or something
try reflashing.If you keep getting the problem then revert back to your previous rom =/
Is there any way to try to replace only the phone etc. apps without flashing the whole rom?
from my experience no but you can try replacing phone.apk sms.apk etc with the previous rom's apps
The funny thing is that I have a stock 2.3.4 JVR, so it should be stable.
Plus, did I mention that this happens only sometimes? Sometimes they work ok. But this happens often enough to be annoying. You know, when you would have to make a quick phone call you have to open the phone app like 3-4 times, only then you're able to make it. I wondered if the the problem could still be in the dialer, contacts and messaging apps even if the problem occurred only sometimes?
In addition, the calendar app has done this a couple of times. Could it be that there's a conflicting app that's causing this? If so, do you have any suggestion what it would be?
Autokiller made my phone do some really funny stuff. After installing it i was having random reboots and apps crashing so i uninstalled and problem solved. You said it was happening before you installed it though so im just guessing that you need to either wipe cache and dalvik then reboot or do a full wipe and reinstall of your rom. When you do the full wipe go into mounts and storage and wipe system too
Hi and thanks for your comment. What are the effects of wiping the cache and the dalvik cache? Do I lose important data? Or can I do it safely? Sorry, I'm a bit of a n00b with android. I suppose you wipe the cache in download mode, right?
I experience exactly the same issue as you-though I am on stock jvu.I come from 2.3.3, stock as well, using chainfire root both times.
Sometimes phone contacts and message s close immediately after opening them, often several times. and sometimes everythings fine
here you can find some information about dalvik and normal cache wipe..your data will be safe-only first boot will take longer.I will try wiping now, too-reporting back then.
Edit:
For now wiping seems to have worked well and fixed the problem here..I need some more testing though-will keep you up to date here
edit 2: damn! The issue's still there.anyone got more ideas?
G'day!
I have the exact same problem with JVU and I had this problem with 2.3.3 but less frequent. I have no choice but to reboot the phone when it happen. I suspect it's caused by one of the widget (email and Go weather) that I put on the desktop. Going to remove the two widgets from desktop and see if it's help.

Okay, that sounds interesting - though I am not sure wheter a widget could cause this...
I am still running JVU but now with Galaxian Kernel instead of Chainfires root Kernel - flashed with SGS Kernel Flasher and still got root - and it runs very stable and fast 'till now. No more closing of phone, contacts and messages so far -.- since 2 days.
I'll tell you when it happens again, but so far it seemed to be a kernel issue for me...
I've been having the same issues with my Samsung SideKick 4G. messages would keep closing as I was typing them, I would lag and the key I pressed would "press again" like 15 more times, sometimes I just couldn't open a conversation, other times I couldnt answer phone calls cause the UI lagged.
That was all on stock firmware, and I got fed up with it so I tried to flash a custom ROM on it, and before I did that I had it OC'd to 1.2GHz which was actually pretty great. Needless to say, I screwed up on flashing the ROM and now I'm looking for firmware to odin back to stock. =\
Has anyone had this happen? I have a stock HTC One X that I have rooted. Everything was fine, but now, starting today, when I create a text message, I click send, and it reloads the thread, but my text does not show up - it's just the same last text showing from before the problem started. When people send me texts, I do not see them, but I do get the notification. I rebooted the phone, and cleared the app cache to no avail.
I tried Handcent, and it works just fine. However, handcent has that funky menu bar at the bottom that I hate, and I get a notification from both Handcent and from the stock messaging app, which is annoying.
Any ideas on how to fix this are much appreciated.
Once I hit about 6000 messages I wasn't able to even load threads. I'm just using GO SMS Pro until there's a stable CM10 release for this phone.
Try going into setting and clearing the apps cache then reboot.
Thank you for the replies - I already cleared the cache. I ended up "fixing it", or rather, the problem went away, when I deleted the threads from my best friend and wife. The only thing I can think of is that maybe there is a thread cap, and I message them a lot? Iunno, but it's working now.
Hi guys! I recieved my 4.2.2 update OTA a couple of weeks ago and since then my facebook icon shows me i have two ghost notifications. I tried reinstalling the app, clearing the app's cache, clearing the phone's cache, but the facebook icon still has a two on it. What can i do to make it look normal?

I feared you'd say that. Isn't there anything else i could try before wiping my phone? And if there isn't any other option, could you please tell me the best soultion to back up the rest of my data (non rooted).

i actually don't know what you can do about this! wiping only delete apps games and there data! pictures video's contacts etc stay
Some of us have it, some don't. This seems to be a NON Samsung device thing.
Right now what is happening is at first install Notifications DO NOT need ATNManager to forward them, they work just find with only gear manager. But after some time and a couple notifications (changes on case to case basis) notifications will just stop forwarding. Every now and then they will come back, if you're lucky.
I've been screwing around with ATNManager after finding a bug (posted here) and found that clearing the cache for the app fixed it. I could forward 1 notification before I had to reset cache on ATNManager.
I applied the same idea to the Gear Manager app (not Connection Manager or Gear2 or any of the other) and my notifications magically started working again. Both had a cache size of exactly 68.00kb.
I hear there is an australian Gear Manager that fixes this issue, but I can't install Samsung Apps to download actual updates so I can't install it to test. If someone can get that version of the Gear Manager can you please post the APK?
When I read the title of your post this morning, I thought "what the heck he's talking about?". That was after my notifications worked flawlessly for ~10 hours in a row. Then, a couple of hours later, they stopped. Now I understand exactly what you're talking about.
I did try clearing Gear Manager cache (and not Connection Manager or anything else this app installs). It didn't help.I didn't have ATNManager installed, as I didn't need it before. Should I try to start messing around with it?
EDITED:
I figured out rebooting the phone brings the notifications back. That's a good enough solution for me at this point of time...

Just reboot did the trick.
It's getting quiet here. For me a reboot doesn't always help. Clearing the Cache doesn't help as well. Sometimes there is actually no way to get the notifications working.

Hi. This won't help. Notifications stop whenever they want and there is no reliable way of reactivating them. Sometimes reconnecting within GearManager may help, sometimes rebooting the phone. Sometime nothing at all helps - even not clearing caches, etc.
Hey Guys...I have an Xperia E1 and have started getting problems with it.
I had installed a few apps but they frequently disappear at random intervals!
I have no idea what's going on! Sometimes, the icons on home screen,widgets,etc also disappear!
BTW, by apps disappearing, I mean they get deleted completely! I have to re install them again and they disappear again after a while!
The phone has 4.3
So, Do i hard reset it and hope for a change or are these a part of the issues in this phone? I've been waiting for the kitkat update but it doesn't seem to release any soon though a leaked pic suggests its sometime this month.
make a factory reset and see what happens.Its a strange bug.

Just updated to kitkat a couple of days before and then did a repair consequently in lieu of a factory reset.
So far so good will wait for a a day or two to confirm that the bug is gone.
Thanks for the quick reply :good:
Can confirm that there are no issues now hat I've done a repair. Kitkat is smooth as butter except for one bug.
The hangout app never seems to permanently stay as my default SMS app. It keeps switching to the default android message app...
Stranger still is that twhen the switch happens, the notifications tone doesn't play. I have to open the message app to realize that i have a message.
Is it just in my case or is anyone else facing the issue?
