I'm getting tired of this annoying problem. Four times it had happened to me and each time I reinstalled the phone software with the pc companion. It doesn't matter whether I'm not rooted (the first two times) or rooted. It kept on occurring. SMSes don't come in while others seem to be working fine, phone, internet, etc. I've tried restoring the sms related things using titanium back up but yet it seemed that the only remedy is reinstalling. Thought this time, I got an idea of may cause this. Each time it happened, I seem to be coming out from plane mode for the second time since the software installation. Going to try that now. But in the mean time, any ideas what may be wrong or if any of you experience the same problem?
Hi, i've had the same pb, it seems coming from lack of memory, if you got the little hard drive icon with the red exclamation dot, it means you don't have enough space free, and sms aren't received. So the solution, after all, is to desinstall some of your apps to get rid of that icon and finally a little test is to, when you've done that, send a sms to yourself and see if it works again.
hope it helps.
Well that's a huge possibility as each time it happens, that warning has pop out. But I'm sure each time the warning of low storage come on, it still has at least 10 mb. How can 10 mb not enough for texts?
Well i don't really know maybe some configuration, but i can assure you that it is one of the cause: i did a simple test, on the edge of 10mb i installed an app from the market, then the icon showed up and no sms could be received. after desinstall that same app, icon disappear, and sms was received.
I just noticed it so i try to always have this 10mb amount of memory... i just do with it, maybe someone who understands better how it works could help more than me
i have different problem. after root i cat receive nor send MMS.. working like charm without root. x10mini, 2.1 firmware.
i have no clue why

I am experiencing random lock ups and freezes. It happens especially when I receive texts and incoming calls after about 30 minutes of no use. WiFi does not work either. It is very annoying and frustrating as I lose the text or miss the call. I have to reset the phone to get it working again. Sometimes it takes several resets.
EDIT: Other random tidbit...after playing with the phone a bit more, I have found that the phone functions perfectly when plugged into the power outlet-WiFi, texting, incoming calls...Maybe it has something to do with the power settings when not plugged in?
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Does anyone have a guess at what might be the problem?
I am running:
SPL 2.47
2.42.50 radio
DCD Custom 3.2.6
I have never had this problem until about a week ago. I am wondering if it is a hardware issue as I have tried re-flashing several times. It will work well for a few hours then act up again. I am thinking about relocking my phone and taking it in for service, but that is a last resort.
Thanks in advance for any help.
same thing happened to me. It started ever since i switch out for a new battery though. I seriously think it's my battery that causes these random freezes.
hmmm...it does seem to be a battery issue as it works while plugged in. Is there any way to reset the battery somehow?
Freezes here too
I've had my phone freeze twice in the last two days. Yesterday at work, connected via activesync, when I disconnected the screen wouldn't come on. Then today I was connected to the wall charger, disconnected and the screen wouldn't come on again. Had to remove the battery both times to get the phone working again.
My experiences
When the 6800 came out I liked it so much that I hooked my entire family up with one and I have seen more problems than a lot of people. I just thought I would share some of the freezing problems I've seen and what I've dont to replace them. And if the device is not freezing when it is plugged into the wall is the screen off like in idle, or is it real dim and still up? And one great thing you can do to reduce daytime freezes is to leave the device off at night when you charge it (if you can stand to do that), or at least soft reset when you grab it to start the day.
1) The most common reason for lock ups that I've seen is memory drain. It is caused from programs you've installed that continually run in the background. The biggest killer is recieving calls when the phone has been sitting at idle too long or trying to run activesync or an internet browser.
Fix: You can try to go back and remove the programs that you've recently installed till you lack this problem, but the ultimate fix is to hard reset.
2) Some registry edits have poor efects on the way the phone performs and this is when it seems everything is good, you are keeping the memory clear with a task manager, yet it still freezes in the middle of doing something.
Fix: Every titan seems to act a little differently than others. The only time I hack the registry is when one of my family members phone is having an issue, or when I get bored and I want to mess around with my own's performance. The remedy for this is installing the stock carrier rom and then moving to a rom of your choice. Read the posts too. Make sure the radio is compatible with the rom. Trust me in this forum you can find anything.
3) Memory boosting software like memaid or oxios close apps are great, however, with some programs they interfeer with each other and cause problems.
Fix: Forget this memory programs. Find a rom with good memory management.
Animez: That is how mine started...now it does it at least 6 times a day.
Sweeny: Thank you for your detailed response. I do not think it is memory drain as I use x-button and maintain my task manager quite frequently. I have not made any registry edits except for the DCD kitchen (3.2.6), arcsoft, and carrier cab I have installed...
Question: Does the registry get wiped on a reflash or do I need to hard reset to wipe the registry? I don't really trust myself all that much fiddling with the registry unless I know what all the strings do.

A hard reset or rom flash will wipe your registry since it's included in the new rom and also stored in the hard reset rom. So if you screw it up, worse case you hard reset, or reflash with a new rom/same rom, doesn't matter.
You can also back up your phone prior to making any changes, and if you screw up, hard reset and then restore the backup.

I have a problem with my SGS2 : Push notifications (Gmail, chrome-to-phone...) work when I just started the phone, but then they stop working after a few minutes.
Then if I reboot it works fine again, and stops working 20 minutes later.
I'm running XWKE2, rooted, and I have frozen a bunch of samsung apps with Titanium backup. Does anyone have any idea where it might come from ?
Thanx !
OK, I'm now on XWKE7 rooted and I kept all the samsung apps but nothing changed, I still can't rely on push notifications at all (sometimes they work fine, most of the time not at all, and sometimes they arrive late).
Also, and I think it is linked, Gtalk doesn't really work either : It will show all my contacts as offline when they're obviously not, and sometimes when I send a message to a contact (s)he will suddenly appear as online, or my message never gets sent. Same for messages sent to me, sometimes they work and sometimes they get lost.
It happens on Wifi, 2G or 3G.
I'm going back to my Nexus One for now but it's hard... The screen seems really small now that I'm used to the SGS2 ^^
Still no solution... Any idea ?
I know I know, I am very late to the party.
But anyway, I finally installed the ICS update a few hours ago.... and my phone won't stop rebooting now.
Its not a boot loop, because it does get into Sense UI and I can use it, but eventually after a few minutes, it will reboot all on it's own with no warning. I assume its loading my (rather large) list of apps from the SD card since I have never seen it reboot until it finally wakes up, realizes a SD card is indeed mounted, and starts populating my app list. I never saw that process finish from the few times I bothered to watch it.
I tried removing the SD card and now its no longer rebooting, so unless taking out the battery did something, I assume its likely the SD card.
Is there any way to tell what is causing it without reformatting my phone? I REALLY don't want to wipe out everything.
After some testing, I have found two issues with the update:
1. It seems that it is not any one specific app, but the NUMBER of apps on my SD-card causing the reboot. I have somewhere around 200-250 apps installed on it. So far I can put about 80 or so of them in .androud_secure and it will work fine, I do not know exactly what the braking point it, but I know that having around 140 apps causes it to reboot every 5 minutes, regardless of which apps are on there.
2. I can't load my text messages anymore. Any contact who I have had a long history of texting with, it just gets stuck saying "loading". I can still receieve messages, but since I can't actually open the message list anymore, I can't reply!
I would really like to avoid doing a factory reset if possible, is there anything I can do about this?
I was consideing just doing a SMS-backup and then flashing a custom rom, but I like the 3D feature and it seems like there is not a SINGLE custom rom out there that supports 3D, and many don't support 4G either.
Please, does anyone have any advice?
Hey guys.
I recently upgraded to JB. I have an Xperia P.
Most of the things work, but there is a BIG issue with the phone app.
It lags and crashes to the point that I literally struggle to receive and make any call. It is by far the worst bug you can get in a phone. Coz then it ceases to be a PHONE.
Anyone else got this issue? Maybe there is a way to fix it? I have tried to repair the phone via PC companion, but nothing.
Hi
I also experienced this problem, while receiving calls it's sometimes impossible to answer (slider locks on the right side of the screen and application freezes) and make calls - short lag appears after touching the contact, then the screen blinks, then it calls or freezes. It's becoming more and more annoying. I've tried wiping data and cache of Phone application, neither helped.
That being said, I'm currently on a Jellybean 6.2.A.0.400 build, unbranded (changed from branded build, my contract provider is still keeping the OTA). I'm always in battery stamina mode and I'm using Apex launcher instead of stock.
Maybe something is interfering with the app, I don't know. Other thread about ICS being laggy suggested limiting background process limit - I didn't do it just yet, I need to check if any of background apps are not responding (turned Show all ANRs on, I wonder what will happen).
I hope somebody will find an answer to this problem.
Cheers.
I used to roll with nova launcher too, and i have the impression that when i changed back to stock, things were better.
But still not good enough. There are times that when there is an incoming call, the phone just vibrates, without any ringing.
It seems that the issue was solved in A.1.100 update, as it does not occur anymore. However, sometimes there's some trouble reaching me on the mobile, as if I had no coverage, the calls go to voicemail. Anyone has a solution?

Seems like over the past week or two, I am routinely getting errors when sending texts. Sometimes it is an MMS, other times a text to a single recipient.
Sometimes it happens, other times not. Happens on Wifi, and when in data.
If I reboot, it usually fixes it, but only for a short while.
it happens with both the Samsung Messages app, as well as the Google app.
Any ideas that don't involve hard reset of the phone? No other issues, just texts...

Having the same issue here. It seems to have appeared with this last update and is now occuring about every other text (outgoing only). I have so far been able to "tap to retry" and it sends after that but the fact that its even happening at all makes me hate this phone even more.
