Sometimes when I place a call, the phone will lag and not place the call for 30 seconds up to 10 minutes. If I tap on someone's phone number, the phone registers that it's been tapped but the phone won't start dialing. Further attempts are the same. If I let the phone sit, at some point it will eventually and suddenly dial the first number I tried to call. Any additional numbers I had attempted to call will then be dialed immediately upon the end of the call to the previous number.
During this time some apps will open immediately, and others will have the same behavior as trying to place calls - they won't open until some time later.
Anyone else dealing with this issue? If so, which ROM are you using? If not, which ROM are you using? Any solution(s) available?
I know I'm no help at all here, but I remember this being talked about a LOOONNG time ago. Hopefully someone from that conversation is still around and will chime in here.
FWIW, I don't have that problem, and I'm on stock rooted locked. Didn't have it unlocked on cm7, cm9, or MIUI, either. At the same time, I don't make very many phone calls. Usually none most days, at most three or four on a busy day.

My phone is on rooted locked stock too! That's why this issue is puzzling to me. It seems to get worse over time so I am going to do a factory reset to see if that helps. If I only make 3-4 calls a day, I probably would not notice the issue either but since I use my phone for business, this issue is extremely annoying and time consuming.
My version of this issue is not exactly the same -- when I go to the dialer screen and start punching the numbers, I often get a delay (maybe a second or so) before the numbers start showing up. Also annoying, though I don't make enough calls for it to drive me crazy.
I've had a similar problem to that, though mine was apparently caused by some conflict between my launchers (go Launcher / ADW Ex) and cardock mode.
I've since SBFed back to 198_7 and the delay issue has mostly gone away. I occasionally have a noticable delay ~1 sec or less, but the big problems are gone.

I'm back to using Go Launcher 3.xx and after the wipe, things are much better. I am slowly adding my programs back in when I need them and have avoided the big lag. I would use ADW Ex but the Go Launcher Calendar Widget in Agenda mode can't be beat, and I use that for my work calendar.

Go Launcher EX?
I was having the same issues and my apps wouldn't open right away. Got tired of it. Took my phone to best buy and got a replacement. So far no problems. Other than my phone got stuck in vibrate mode and sprint rep at the local sprint store fixed that. My phone isn't rooted either.

Are there any ROMS out there that have working MMS ? I have tried a number of them and no luck. I know these are labors of love but it's such a vital part of the phone itself to be left on the back burner. The only ones it works for me are 2.1 v's 1,2 & 3 every other ROM i tried it's always the same thing, no soft button lights, no trackball lights, no MMS. I've tried every fix offered under the sun & it just doesn't work, OR it might work, 18 hours later.
From what i have read it looks like half the people have no problems & have are in the same boat as me.
any suggestions?
thanks
I use sense-able and have no issues sending or recieving mms msgs
the MMS fix is quite simple. What ROM are you using? I know that in the EE thread there is a link to ivans-apns and instructions on removing your current APNs and installing the APNs from ivans rom.
I have working MMS on every rom I have tried except for one .....
Thanks for the 411 and I must say that name gave me the first laugh for the day "Cornbreadfarts"
Fn Funny dude.
well last night i loaded ZenEXP-Eris_Rev6-fixed_mak, i hadn't seen that one before and it looked very stylish. The overclocking isn't so important but i like the apps2sd. Followed all the instructions including flashing the mms fix also cited in the thread. I should have tried it our right away but i began to get comfy with the rom then when i remembered, bingo, same thing. Attaching even a very small photo gets a generic network error, it'll try 4 times to send it then stop. With other roms, sometimes 18 hours later it'll suddenly go through.
before this I'd tried evil eris, lightning, Dvanilla2fast, vanilladroidv1, fresh 2.1 & aloysius, all with the same result.
every rom has their own little quirks, evileris would seem to stall for a while then suddenly go through all the motions of your frantic thumb presses while u thought there was something wrong. I tried all the solutions offered also with the apn's in the evileris thread but still the same thing
the zenexp seems to restart itself at random times and does not come out of landscape mode after taking a pic. I have to press settings, then back & it resets itself
I like the variety in the various roms and the little extra bells & whistles that the developers add it's just this 1 issue really for me. I don't make a lot of calls and i mostly text back & forth to my daughter in NYC. Recently a loved pet of 13years died but beforehand i couldn't send her any pics of the cat in the days previous.
I guess i'll look for this sense-able and try that. I just don't get it though, we are all using an eris, it should either work or be broken for everyone right ?

ZenEXP-Eris doesn't restart itself at random times out-of-the-box, you must have installed or modified something that's causing that error. My releases go through a somewhat rigorous beta testing before they see the light of day - at least since Rev5 - and we've only seen minor issues upon release of them.
As for the accelerometer (the "not coming out of landscape" issue you refer to), that's a known bug in Rev6 that was found after releasing it. It is fixed in Rev7.
At the begining of my ZenEXP-Eris thread, I state that you should read the entire thread twice before flashing. This is so you know what you're doing, what to expect, how to make things work properly and what bugs are present in the ROM. Obviously you didn't read my entire thread, or you would have found the MMS-Fix, which is located about 6 lines below the ROM download
On a side note, Rev7 includes the MMS Fix built right into the ROM, no need to flash the MMS-Fix through Recovery like you do now for Rev5 and Rev6. You'll be able to enjoy Rev7 (hopefully) tomorrow (if not the next day).

Sorry, I thought I had been clear, I did read the whole thread and did dl & flash the mms fix zip u attached. I'm only reporting on the problems I'm having. This isn't a personal attack on you.
As I said, I understand these are labors of love and I wouldn't report something if it didn't happen. I have had 3 occasions where it restarted itself and all 3 times all I had installed was vignette, meebo, Google translate, shopper & barcode scanner.
Thank you for your reply

I'm sure it wasn't a personal attack, but I'm not sure why you're telling me that?
Anyway, if you installed the MMS fix, you should have working MMS. The MMS fix hasn't failed anyone that I know of and I used it myself on Rev5 and Rev6. Did you boot into the phone and set it up after flashing the ROM, but before install the MMS fix? The file the MMS fix installs gets overwritten during the first boot, which is why you need to reboot before installing it.
I don't use any of the apps you've installed, so I can't attest to their compatibility with ZenEXP-Eris. What I recommend you do is backup your data, go into Recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik/ext, then re-install the latest release of Rev6, boot into ZenEXP-Eris and set your phone up, reboot into Recovery and install the MMS fix. Before installing any applications test it all out for a few hours, the proceed to install them one-by-one, leaving an hour or so in between installs until you (possibly) find what is causing the issue.
I'm really sorry to hear this issue persists for you but, as I mentioned earlier, you're the first to report such issues, thus the reason I suspect something else as the culprit
Feel free to PM me for one on one support if you need it.

edit: Also, regarding your softkey lights, they only turn on in dark areas. Hold your finger over the light sensor to the left of the earpiece speaker to see them light up. In ZenEXP-Eris the jogball LED doesn't function, but I have mapped notifications to the charging/power LED in the upper-right-hand corner of the Eris as an alternative, for now.

Hey,
There are several out there that work. Ivans are typically good to go out of the box and most if not all the Sprint based roms will be good to go by using the apn fix. Its a trial and error thing just find a rom that you like and give the thread a good read.
Most all the posted roms now have an mms "fix" or are good out of the box. I know it gets a bit disheartening flashing, setting up, wiping, flashing etc...lol...but thats the joy of a rooted handset...trial and error till you find a rom and dev you like well enough to stick with.

I actually did exactly what you said. I downloaded all the files first then i formatted the sd card, toggled, loaded the rom & the mms fix, wiped the handset (reset & dalvik), flashed the rom. When it loaded I set up the phone, power cycled & booted to recovery, flashed the mms fix and restarted the phone.
I wanted to make sure that apps2sd was working to i went to the market & installed vignette (excellent photo app) and the usual google made apps like translate, shopper etc
it was after all this I remembered the mms, so i tried it & nada.
I'm about to reformat & wipe now so i'll see what happens
So Im having data issues today i wanna really exchange it Monday but Im afraid if i do il have screen issues right now data will work halfway and i have to keep refreshing the page til it finally loads its horrible but Im afraid to exchange it cause people that are havih the screen problems i have a problem at the upper top looks llike dead piles its a very light spot but usually only seen while on the camera app or when its turned on

today I backed up my iphone SMSs and loaded them with sms backup and restore... everything went fine, but then my phone reset and there is a circle with a line through it where the data connection icon should be and says there is no sim installed.... I also cant dial out, but I received a call on the way home from work.
trying to open message app on the phone gives me a time out message and asks me to kill or wait. then the phone just freezes. I'm looking everywhere for a solution... first time android user so this is driving me a little bit nutty.
on my iphone I would just restore firmware... I guess thats what I should try here?

Have you done any type of changes to the phone like rooting, etc.? Anything you can think of that might have caused it or changed something right before it happened?
No, I haven't rooted or anything. All I did was download a few basic apps and then try to transfer my data to the new phone. I ordered a jig and don't want to do anything until it arrives.
I have solved the data issue, somehow the sim came slightly out of place. Once I reseated everything was good. is the sim slot that finicky?
i also did a factory reset and started from scratch and worked out the issue with the text messages. I appreciated your willingness to help a noob, thank you.
Ever since I got my first Android device (Galaxy Nexus) I had the problem that Gmail and Google Talk just often won't notify me about new messages. It works fine sometimes but often there is a delay between a few seconds and several hours until it finally notifies me (if at all that is).
It's basically freaking useless. I just can't rely on it so I end up checking for messages and mail manually every few minutes.
Things that don't affect the problem:
Device and Android Version. Plenty of people reported this problem and it's just not limited to one device or version.
If the screen is turned off or not. It even stops working while Talk is open (not in the background).
How the phone connects to the internet. At home it's using the same connection as my PC, while it just won't notify me of an new e-mail the Talk client on the PC manages it without problems.
ROM/Kernel don't seem matter either. Also did plenty of factory resets.
All I can find are old and/or unanswered threads.

ROM and Kernel don't seem to matter. That includes for example stock, Cyanogen and franco kernel.
Did a factory reset like 100 times before, just this time logged out first. Didn't help, how unexpected.
Another option, contact sprint, have them do a. Profile refresh. Also update ur prl twice. Now that I think about, it could be a slight network issue in connection with ur device (hard to explain)

I'm in Europe. No sprint here.
I'll replace my Nexus with an S III today. Guess I'm about to find out if it's affected too.
Will probably be hard to do any further tests with the Nexus because my SIM is going to have a little meeting with a scissor.
Didn't get too many messages yet but some of them were definitely several minutes late. Guess the S III is affected too. Just great.
Am I the only person with this problem?
Still happening and renders the phone mostly useless.
At least some ideas on how to pinpoint the problem?
First of all, I am using the normal software on the phone, it is not rooted or anything.
I am having a lot of issues using the Messages App on my 4G LTE. Often times when I click on a conversation it will often display the number for the contact I am trying to text and display the loading icon and spinny wheel in the text box. Sometimes after a minute or so the conversation will appear and I can message that person, other times it will not.
The same thing happens when I sometimes click on the People App. It simply will not load for a minute or two.
The dialer has similar problems. I will use a speed dial or pull up a contact to call, and when I speed-dial or press to call that contact, the dialer will reset and act as if I had just opened it. Sometimes it will connect the call one or two minutes after this occurs.
I have tried GO SMS Pro but that had problems of its own.
Any help would be appreciated.
I had the exact same problem. I tried deleting apps, battery pulls, factory resets, cache clearing, etc. Nothing worked. So I rooted and it's fine now. I hope you find a solution. I never could.

I'm rooted also but I have the problem too. I'm running ViperLTE. I thought it might be my OOM managing app killing them. I've use a different dialer and now recently a new text app. Its a sense thing I think. People complain about it on HTC evo lte forums.

What method did you use to root it?
Hey there,
I'm on a bit of a language barrier here, so bare with me if you will.
I've activated GoLocker and GoLauncher for about a month now and since both tools are activated I don't get an internet connection while I'm on the lock-screen. If I unlock my phone the little "3G" or "Edge" symbol appear in the status-bar and everything works fine. This little inconvenience bothers me, for multiple reasons. If I forget about my phone for a few hours and I unlock it, I get WhatsApp messages from 2 hours ago, which kinda sucks, considering the literality of "Instant Messaging". Same problem with Skype, you get where I'm going with this.
Deactivating GoLocker doesn't make any difference. Although the connection comes back before I enter my code which unlocks the screen. So basically once I press the Lock button on the side of my device, the connection returns.
My brother who regularly posts in the custom ROM section directed me here to ask you guys for help.
Here's some data:
I'm on a Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100)
I'm on Android 4.1.2
I can't do a software update because the phone tells me it has been changed. My brother worked some magic about half a year ago. He switched the internal and the SD-card storage somehow and fooled around with the firmware a bit.
It's kinda bothering me, so of one or more of you could help me out, It'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
No need for new Rom
just go to Wifi setting and make it always on (do not sleep) ^_^

I'm not talking about WIFI, I'm mainly talking about the mobile connection. (3G, etc...) Although WIFI isn't working either while on Lockscreen.
I've got popup notifications activated in WhatsApp and I want the pop-ups to show up even while the phone is locked. It worked fine until I installed GoLocker and GoLauncher. Maybe some other app triggered the problem or I messed up something in the settings, I can't really tell.
Still haven't figured this out. Sorry for the bump but this issue is just mind boggling to me.

Yeah, so I let the system beat me and finally gave up and uninstalled GoLocker, as well as all the other software from the developers (GoLauncher, all the widgets, etc.) and it works fine now with the standard lockscreen. Still sucks, though since I created my entire theme for GoLocker and GoLauncher as well as dozens of icons myself and really liked the look.
So if anybody is experiencing the same problem, just get rid of the GoSoftware and everything will work fine again.
Thanks for all the help, by the way.
Pesky "Go" devs. Ever since I seen their launcher I know they were bogus. Go apps cause so many problems its not even worth using. Glad you found out your problem.
