It just wont open it really wont do anything. Every time i try and open the text messages the phone lags and a black box pops up and then immediately closes it. It doesnt even stay open long enough for me to read it. So what I ended up doing was doing a complete data wipe and re-flashing and reinstalling everything. I havent had an issue since I have done that. The only bad part was I lost all of my txt messages.

Sounds like it could have been a couple of things. The message database could have been corrupted. Also, the stock messaging app really doesn't like large SMS databases.

Maybe a bad download of the ROM depending on whether you installed it in CWM... Can't have a bad download with the Odin (or the update in Tweaktools), as it checks the integrity of the file.

I actually just had this problem last week. I was using the stock msg app but it also affected my phone function and any app that needed to connect to a data connection. All apps force closed.
Another note is that this was immediately after an hour long session of using wifi tether over 4g. I rebooted and after boot almost no apps responded and my phone heated up (I assume applications were looping in the background after failing to open running the processor at 100%) so i turned off and went into recovery. Factory reset did nothing, clearing cache did nothing and i couldn't try any other apps due to the phone crashing. Only solution i found was a complete reflash of Tweaked.
I fear this happening again in the future so i figured i'd post my similar experience.

Try clearing all data, see if that helps.

Words with Friends force close issue

Anyone else dying to play Words with Friends on you new Inspire but keeps getting the force close everytime you run the app? I tried rebooting and reinstalling this app but to no avail.
Running on stock rom, waiting for my extra microsd card to arrive so I can root and install custom roms.

Same issue here on custom ROM, been happening for a day or so since Words with Friends updated. Extra frustrating is the fact that the app resets itself after FC, forcing me to re-enter account info.
Good to know I'm not the only one. I hope we get an update to fix this issue soon...
Working fine here. I had issues when I did the update without un-installing it first but after I did that everything is good. I'm running CM7 if that matters.
I gave up on words with friends and went back to wordfeud. Hopefully the devs of words with friends will get it straightened out soon.

Aha! I actually tried installing the app again today and it now works. They must have fixed the issue and I'm glad they did.
Words with Friends worked for me on stock ROM since day 1. The first day I rooted and flashed Anrdoid Revolution, I installed Words with Friends and it worked fine. I've seen 1 FC from the app since I've had the phone, but all I had to do was restart the app and it loaded right back to my games
It worked for me for a little while but now it pops up with some wierd web address
Have you tried rebooting and/or installing the app?

If you are using Android Revolution(or some other custom ROMs), the hosts file blocks the ads in the app. Either revert to a non-adblocking hosts file or a different ROM.
they just had an update, uninstall words and redownload. i havnt had a fc since then. good luck
even on the latest version, I can't even play! Just force closes when I log in!
Judging by the stack trace I think something in the logon was breaking it. I saw in the stack trace that the app was trying to parse a null value as an integer, which isn't so cool.
I just set up for a packet capture -- but I'm now able to log in again and the game is working fine. Hopefully they don't break their login protocol again, and ideally they make the app a little more robust if the server sends back unexpected data.
I was also getting tons of FC's on custom roms until i ran a fix permissions in CMR. Now it works perfectly
So what do you guys suggest for those who are using unrooted, stock ROMs? Any suggestions?
I go into the apps settings and clear the cache and force close it.. this usually makes it reload the game data which takes a few min, but it works again for me for a while. I do need to tweak the hosts file blocking ads. It causes huge broken ads that make the game unplayable at times.
Yeah when wwf starts acting up again and comes up with a force close (or any bug at all!) all the time, clear your cache and data and try again. Reboot in between if you have to. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling again. Sometimes you just need to reboot to fix the issue is what I found out based on my phone. Hope this helps!

[Q] Emancipation Questions

Just did a complete wipe and installed the latest Emancipation release this morning.
When my text messages are a certain length, the sms message fails to send.
When I try to download dialers or themes using the OTA, the downloads are unsuccessful.
Did the lock screen option menu get moved somewhere else from the first release because I dont see it.
Im just wondering if I need to add another APN?
Thanks for the input!

hmmm... i've been cruising the Eman thread all day and no one else seems to have these issues. My first guess would be possible bad download and/or flash. Did u try to flash again?

What length SMS seems to cause an issue? I have not seen any issues with SMS so far, but granted my messages are generally pretty short anyway.
When you try and download the dialers or themes are you using the stock browser? I think there is a known issue with that. Nun had said "Q. I try to download from the ota and I always get "download unsucessful. How do I fix this?
A. Many have stated that trying a browser other than stock will help...Opera, Dolphin, etc should work. If you prefer to use stock...try this: Download Astro File Explorer, open preferences, and scroll to the bottom and select "enable browser downloads"...then ownload like a good boy should!"
I followed his suggestion and had no more troubles trying to download the OTA stuff.
Lock screen stuff is in display settings. Don't remember where it was on the previous build.
Thank you for the info, you pretty much answered all my questions. I had a brain fart on the lock screen- it was under display. I thought it was in the Emancipation OTA previously.
As far as the text messaging, I cant put a finger on the length because sometimes it works... Not sure whats up with that. But I do know that usually long texts do fail and they will go through if i try to resend them a few times...
What browser do you recommend? Is there an agreed upon one that everyone uses?
when I download i use dolphin mini browser...-
i like opera but it doesnt let me download...
about your sms, you check the messages/setting /message center... sometimes its reset when changing roms..
I just use the stock browser. I loaded the Astro File Explorer and everything worked fine.
I know there are better browsers out there but the audio book service I use only works the stock browser and Firefox. I have tried it with Firefox, but it just works better with the stock browser. My commute is about 80 minutes each way; so I would go crazy without my audio books.
I have always used the app "Download All Files" its a super light app that works with all files in any app or browser and then I can just use the stock browser

I'm having a problem sending and recieving MMS, which I had once before ever flashing my infuse. APN settings got changed somehow (probably me). Reset the APN and it was fixed. Problem crept again after flashing Emancipation. Under the available APN types the list I'm given only has:
Internet+MMS
Internet
MMS
I think I'm needing an "supl" option. Am I missing that due to a bad flash and need to redo it. Or is it simply not available o Emanc and need to try a ROM i can edit the APN by typing like CM7?
Thanks

Its official, both my Infuse and my wifes cannot send long text messages. We have to cut them in half for whatever reason. Any ideas?
Also my data is ridiculously slow. Youtube videos are taking upwards of an hour to load on both phones too. This wasnt a problem on Zeus and I was wondering if there are something I should look into? Thanks!
I have the same issue also can't send/receive pics to my ended phone started when I flashed this ROM. Worked great in last.

Emancipation OTA Problem
Firstly I'd like to thank everyone for the awesome community and work that goes on here at XDA. I've been reading through all the forums the last several weeks and learned so much about my new phone (Samsung Infuse 4G). Through all the tutorials, Q&As etc. I have successfully flashed my firmware three different times. Started out with Zeus v6, Aeon and now I'm finally settled on Emancipation1 with the Dark Blue theme. I really like this ROM.
Now my problem/question. For the ROM flash and Dark Blue theme flash I just downloaded the files to my PC and moved them over to the phone. Everything at that point was fine. Everything on my phone works great except for the Emancipation OTA. It worked the first time immediately after the flash (just checking it out), however now whenever I try to use the Emanicaption OTA I get an error on my phone screen that says "Sorry - The application Settings (process.com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. - Force close)
I've tried with wi-fi enabled and disabled. My stock browser works fine and I went ahead and installed Astro File Manager Explorer. I also booted the phone into Recovery Mode and wiped the cache and Davlik cache.
Any ideas on what might be wrong or causing my inability to use the Emancipation OTA? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Sorry, the only known solutions when that consistently pops up is a reflash. Something did not take right or is interferring with that working properly. Back it up and reflash.
Thanks. Was hoping you weren't going to say that though
One more simple ?
Does anyone know if the themes and other content available through the EmancipationOTA is available for direct download (say from the server to a PC so it can then be moved to the phone the old fashioned way?)
Nope. All themes go though the OTA.

Email exchange issues

Hi all,
Just got the nexus 5 and live everything about it except one thing, the email app. I can't tell if it's exchange services or the app itself, but "unfortunately email has stopped" keeps popping up randomly and will not stop. Another wrote thing is that the so manager will not let me wipe data (screenshot). Things I tried:
*rebooting
*deleting the apk through titanium, wiping data and reinstalling
Any ideas? I really need exchange email for work and it's driving me crazy.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Seems you screwed up something with titanium so do a factory reset and flash back to stock and test it out then and see if it all works fine. After that then do some changes slowly to see if it comes back again to narrow it down?
I have this problem with my Nexus 5 as well. It's been this way since I got it. Really, really annoying. This has been an ongoing problem for a while. I wish there was a fix....

I just wiped, flashed factory image and factory reset the phone and still getting these crashes and it is still not letting me wipe data from the app manager...
Any other suggestions? Right now, I'm going to try to delete the exchange accounts but it's not even letting me delete accounts!! I'm going to try to switch to ART to see if that helps at all, and will give an update.
Any other email clients for android that support exchange?? I'm lost at this point and I really tried everything I know before posting.

I don't think there's much you can do to fix the problem. There are a lot of people in the same boat. If you search Google, there are several posts about the same issue. Last time I checked, there's no fix.

I'm using Touchdown (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid) from Nitrodesk.
Works perfect for my needs
Had battery drain issues with the stock exchange app, so I switched to Touchdown
Hope this helps for you as well
EDIT:
Just read your later post that you switched ROM
cheers
I m experiencing another issue..!!
I get couldnt sign-in error!!
Any solutions for this!!
Dont frget to press the THANK button!!!
Just an update, the new ROM solution was working for a few hours but starting to have issues again with "unfortunately email app has stopped working" errors.
I think it has to be how my exchage accounts are setup:
- One gmail account on IMAP
- 3 Exchange accounts on push notifications and sync all mails
Outside of that setup, nothing special. Anyone experiencing the same?

One last update (unless it creeps up again). I switched the syncing of emails to date back 30 days instead of "All" and that fixed the "unfortunately email has stopped" messages completely. The HTC One email client never had that issue so I assumed that wasn't the problem but I guess the email client on this phone is a bit more sensitive.
Ok, the problem crept back up again... the error message keeps coming back, and in the app manager, the "clear data" button is greyed out so you can't even start over unless you remove all the accounts.
I would like to ask anyone that has working exchange accounts (multiple) on the native email client share their setup and the app versions etc.

Updates stuck at 100%, Gmail does not notify, and other issues.

I am desperate, I can't find the issue here. I have a S10 (Xfinity unlocked on Verizon) , I can't seem to update apps, they get stuck at 100% or 99%, AND some things like Gmail and Instagram do not seem to notify that I am getting messages.
Here's the kicker, I factory reset the phone some 5 times now, and still have the issue. The Reset fixes it for a few days (if even a day) and then the issue starts up again!
the phone was just upgraded to 10, but it was happening on 9 also!
no clue what the problem is ! it kills me! Please anyone have any idea? I even had an authorized Samsung dealer do a "software refresh" and then wiped out the phone again, and I'm still having the same issue..
HELP! please.
thank you

Boot into safe mode, it will only load your system apps and not your user apps. Then try to update your apps, if it works then you know the issue is being cause one of your user apps. Then you just need to identify which user app is the offending app.
It also might be caused by a conflict between various settings or maybe you have some things disabled or turned off that are causing this.

That kinda works.. but again, as said, I have reloaded the phone over and over, and it works fine, until a few days later and stars over.. And updating is not the only problem, Geolocating is slow, sluggish or not working sometimes, Push updates of emails are slower or not happening. just weird things..
I am not sure what it could be! its like the phone is the problem!

Ok, everything I posted went completely over your head, I'll try again.
If it is working like it is supposed to while in safe mode(which is only loaded with system apps and system settings and not any of your user apps or data) that tells you that the issue is caused by some user app that you have installed or something in your user settings. In other other words, it is very likely something that you, as the user, have installed or setup/selected, it is probably not the device. It keeps happening after resetting because you are not changing what you are doing that it is causing it, it is something that you keep returning to after resetting the device. You just need to figure out which user app is causing the issue or whatever settings are causing the issue.
The way to do that will be trial and error. Uninstall one of the apps that you have installed, then use the device for a few hours, if the issue continues, that wasn't the app causing the issue, reinstall that app then choose another user app to uninstall and then use the device for a few hours, if the issue continues, that is t the app, reinstall that app, and so on and so on, etc... Get the picture? When you uninstall an app and the issue stops, the last app uninstalled is probably the app causing the issue.
I suggest resetting the device again. Then, only install one of your usual apps but don't install any others and don't change any settings, use the device a while, if the issue does not occur, install another one of your usual apps but don't install any others, basically, install one app at a time until the issue occurs, when it does, the last app installed is probably the offending app.
Or, if you don't find it that way and you get all of your usual apps installed without triggering the issue during the trial and error process, then you need to go through settings by trial and error. Changing one setting at a time and using the device a while to see if the issue occurs, if it does, it probably has something to do with the last setting that you changed before the issue occured.
Slowly changing one thing at a time over an extended amount with time between each change, will allow you to isolate exactly which app or setting is causing the issue.
Or maybe you need to flash your stock firmware via PC tools to start over with a clean installation.
