I have been having some odd issues with my sms. I originally used the stock sms application and swype beta 3.0. When I unlock the screen with the sms app open, the message options open up (like when you tap on a message) and i have to lock it, unlock it, and hit home instantly to get out. then it is frozen on the home screen for a few minutes. it sometimes freezes on the home screen on its own when I use the sms app also. I switched to using Go sms pro and it worked fine for a few days. Now the same error is occuring and the message options (that only should open with the stock sms) are randomly opening in go sms pro and the keyboard will start having random letters pressed without me touching the screen. any ideas for how to fix this?
Thank you for your help in advance

Sorry but I'm a complete noob with this stuff. What does that mean?
Edit: if your saying to restart my phone, I have done that several times and it runs normal for 5-10 minutes before starting up again

Delete Go SMS, power off your phone, power it on again then try to reinstall it. Worst case scenario you may have to format your phone back to stock. I've had issues like this in the past and following those steps would usually get me working before having to format back to stock.
Do you have too many text messages saved? Try deleting some.

It started when i was shooting a video clip.
When I pressed stop record it stalled. Then Force close message on camera app came up.
When trying to restart camera it "could not connect to camera", so I rebooted the phone.
During boot, right at the place where I enter pin code I get a Force close on process com.android.phone.
Can´t get passed this point, it skips pin code part into UI, but com.android.phone crash loops as soon as I press force close, can´t really operate anything else.
I thought it was SD card that had died, but it behaves the same with it pulled out. And I can reach it and download data from it via USB to PC
Anyone have any ideas what to do?
I´m on a HD2 using nand BOYPPC MIUI V26 (09.Nov)
Thanks for any replies

Doesnt help with airplane mode.
Its really hard to browse around with the crash message constantly popping up. I have ms to push buttons.
Where is this "clear SMS data"? no result even with Search.
Just do a factory reset. Or if you are rooted than flash another rom

was hoping to not have to loose all my added apps and settings...
Will see if I can manage a magldr backup then restore selected parts perhaps?
Doing a backup now.
what part will com.android.phone be in? System?
if so is it possible to restore all but System? will my previous apps work after reflash?
Edit: Well, I tried it and actually it seems to work to restore /Data
Got all my apps and messages etc back.
Thanks for your time.

Sounds like you have phantom taps.
I'd exchange it after you try a restore and it still doesn't work.

You should be able to do it right from the phone like any other Samsung android
Assuming you haven't installed custom ROM/kernel, all you have to do is go to settings->privacy->factory data reset. I'm pretty sure that just clears out the stuff in /sdcard and removes any apps in /data (i.e. user-installed apps).
Anyone else having issues with the newest swype beta keyboard? I am running stock global and ever since it downloaded the newest version i get times where i see the keyboard icon in the notification bar and the cursor is flashing, but the keyboard never pops up. pretty annoying
Happens right after a reboot for me. The first time loading Swype after a reboot takes FOREVER.

Yeah that's what happened to me but then it started happening all the time not just after boot and would lock up the entire phone. Finally fixed it, settings, Swype beta, clear data. It resets your settings and logins for Swype, but now it works perfectly again

that is very odd. i have experienced that a couple of times with UltimaROM and just did the above procedure i posted. have you tried wiping caches in recovery?

i did already try that but i just tried it again and still no luck
it doesnt show 1new message onthe lock screen but does on the home screen and when you click apps and can see all the apps
the only other option i can consider is re installing but i dont really want to do that if im honest
I had the same issue when I installed the Handcent widget and kept the stock messaging app. Here's what worked for me:
1) Go to Settings > Developer Options, and check "Do not keep activities". I'm not sure what this actually does (or how it affects other apps) so I unchecked it after it took away the message notification.
2) After a little while, the problem reappeared, so I found a free app called "SMS Cleaner Free" in the Play Store. That seemed to solve my issue permanently, as it hasn't reappeared since.
I'm not sure if one or a combo of doing both helped, but try it out and let us know.

i just tried that aswell but the problemis still there
i text my phone from a diff number twice and on the lock screen it come up i had 2 new messageson the msg icon but when i went to the home screen it only said 1
I have looked at all the other threads and they didn't help me, my problem is that the stock messaging app crashes every time i start it, meaning, i cant do anything with messages. It started today when last night it was working. Im running stock rom, kernel, everything is unchanged, unrooted and using Nova launcher. The only thing i did today was Install BBS and disabled some useless Samsung apps like Joyn and such, but nothing mayor.
i tried clearing the data and force closing it, restarting, taking battery out, when i place the widget for messaging the app itself crashes, the widget stays and i see my threads, but when i open them, it crashes again...so honestly, i have no idea whats going on.
Thank you!!
!!EDIT: The messaging app doesnt crash anymore (no idea why it stopped crashing) but! I cannot send messages, it tells me always "message failed" also with other apps like GoSMS and HandSent, I cannot send messages. I tried going to /system/app and trying to install again the stock apks, but nothing, It tells me that Application Installation failed Rooted my phone just now, and still doesnt help.

what version of android are you using ? if it is based on samsung 4.2.1 leaked rom, you need to wipe data from CWM to use messaging app :good:
What happens if you go to call logs and swipe from right to left to send a message and then press the back button (should take you to the messages window)?

Im running 4.1.2. Aparently the messaging app works again now, I installed GoSMS and made it default. then i went back to the messaging app and it opens, but if i send a message it says "message failed" i retry, and then it crashes. However, with GoSMS, i sent an SMS to myself, and it seems to work.

I tried to doing that, I get to the message screen, but when replying it doesnt send the message, and crashes when I press "retry" however, with GoSMS it seems to work. Will ask other people today to send me an SMS and see, but an SMS to myself works with GoSMS but not with stock messaging

believe it or not, somehow it works again...just on its own. I found on another forum and doing a Delvick cache clean up with Titanium backup would work! if anyone has a problem like this, that can be suggested. Other than that..I honestly dont know what just happened.
Thank you all for the help! I hope it doesnt come back again
