I am having a weird issue with my LTE involving texts. This morning I restarted my phone and then a little bit later I got a couple text from some friends asking what I was talking about. I went into Handcent and looked at my conversations and found one text, which I sent on 6/5 or 6/6, was either resent or just sent for the first time this morning following the restart of the phone.
I called one of the guys asking him about the message sent to him and he said he never received it when I originally sent it, even though my phone showed it sent successfully.
Has anyone experienced anything like this?
this happens to me too. the radios seem to be able to only do one thing, so if while you sending, it needs to reconnect, connect to wifi,3g, or if you get a text, chat, or phone call while the first action is going (sending a text in this case) it seems to just hang. the thing being sent won't finish but looks like hanging forever (I've found some texts like 2 days later still spinning) and whatever the other action was won't come through. I've been told about chats or texts or talks sent to me I never receive if sending something, or usually the thing will hang for like 5 minutes and then I see I voicemail icon pop up and, surprise surprise, it came 5 minutes prior when my txt was hanging(it still is hanging, hangs forever) or a website loading hangs or connecting to wifi that never finishes. something about how this thing handles multitasking is just rubbish.
I think it has something to do with the way switching back to browser reloads the page, switching back to gmail reloads the composing page, switching back to angry birds forgets your pause and restarts the game, basically,I think they borked the multitasking somehow. sense itself reloads, quite embarrassing when trying to show off the phone, when you press home button from certain apps.
I've read if you flash a custom rom, it fixes all this. seems drastic to me, you'd think a hack would fix this.

I've searched this site and couldn't find anything about this. If I missed it, I apologize.
So, I've had my Sony Xperia X10 since December 2010.
Recently, about 2 weeks or so ago, a new logo has appeared on my status bar. It's not on the notification bar (the left side), it's on the status bar (the right side). The logo is a dual spinning arrow. The one that appears on the notification bar is 2 spinning arrows in a circle that are kinda vertical. The new logo i'm getting is of 2 noticably fatter spinning arrows, making a slight bigger circle where the arrows are going horizontally, not vertically.
When this new logo shows up, I can not send/recieve texts, nor connect the the Market or the Broswer. I haven't tried making calls, but I have never received a call while that logo is active.
It comes up randomally from time to time, and it's completely annoying. As I usually notice it when I'm at work or out and about, and I don't know exactly when it appeared or how, so I don't know if i've missed any texts or calls. When the logo is no longer there, then all of the texts that I missed during the time it was active all appear at once, with the current time stamp. I've responded to them, only to find that they were sent hours earlier, but I didn't recieve them until after that logo went away.
In order to get rid of the logo I've first tried checking all of my settings and apps and what not but with no luck. I've gone online to look it up but found nothing. So I've been turning the phone on and off. But it doesn't always work, and rarely works the first 3 or 4 times. I have to turn it off, and then back on, and when it comes back on, within 30 secs of fully booting up, it just reappears out of no where. I then shut it off again, and back on. and then, about 3 or 4 times later, it doesn't turn on, finally. Other times, I have to take the battery out, and then put it back in, and every time i've done that, it hasn't come back on when it rebooted. it's weird like that.
I've tried looking up this logo to see what it is, but I have found nothing on this logo. I've found the thinner vertical spinning arrows in the notification bar on many websites. But I have not found one thing on the thicker horizontal spinning arrows on the status bar. Even the official list of icons doesn't show it listed either.
It really sucks that it randomally appears out of the blue from time to time. Not every day. sometimes every other day, or every couple of days. but I never know exactly when it happens. it just appears. usually when its in my pocket or sometimes when it's charging, but always when i'm not paying attention to the phone. so i don't know when it starts, how long its been active, or how it starts. But I would like it to stop, only, I don't know how to do that.
I've found lots of answer to things for phones on this site, but have never felt the need to create an account or post anything, as i've always just looked and looked and found what i needed to know. But this time, i can't find anything anywhere. Again, if i overlooked it on this site, i apologize. But I coudln't find it.
Does anybody have a clue as to what this logo means or does. Again, it's not on the left side of the top bar, it's on the right side, and its bigger than the left side logo, and is spinning horizontally, not vertically.
After looking it up online, and checking settings and apps, and everything, to no avail, I got some antivirus apps, but they've all found nothing. So i'm stumped as to what this could be.
Is there anybody out there who could help or possibly know anything about this. My phone is ok for the moment, but it did happen earlier today, and I know it'll happen again soon.
Thanks in advance.
The spinning arrows is the phone syncing with account on the phone. Check the sync settings

Lol....
You have set up an account, either google, facebook or twitter.
Your phone will sync from time to time so that you get updated.
The spinning arrows are just that and are a completely normal function of the phone.
I would only worry if you have not signed up for any accounts (Including logging onto the market, because that uses a google account)
If you are still worried go to
setting
accounts and sync
and disable it
Hope this helps
It definitely is not the syncing. The syncing icon is a little different. Also, as I've stated, I've already checked those settings, among others. I've had both the syncing on at the same time as this new icon was on, and there is clearly two different icons, one stating the syncing status, the other nothing. I've disabled the syncing before, and that logo goes away, but not this new icon, which seems to disable any and all network activity. But I know it has nothing to do with the syncing, as that works fine and is controllable.
But thanks tho. Anything else it could be.
Is your phone rooted, if so , find an app in the market that can take a photo of your phone screen. Then we can see what the symbol is.
Look up the app shootme if your phone is rooted. And post the pic. This can help us solve your problem.

nope, sorry, its not rooted. I've never tried to root it. Tho I did update it awhile back. Long before this new thing started. It's always worked great before this. Like I said, it's only recently started doing this, like in the past 2 weeks or so. I have not added any new apps or games or anything in over a month either.
I doubt this helps, but heres some info on my phone.

Do you have auto software update checked. I can only think of that if its not the sync. icon. Use android SDK to take a screen shot if its not rooted.
I have (obviously) an HTC One AT&T Model, running CyanogenMod 11 M2? Whatever the current milestone is. I'm pretty sure it's 2. Anyways
EDIT: The CM version is 11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2-m7att
I'm not sure if this is a ROM error or not, but I've got a really strange bug. CM 11 was running mostly fine, aside from the occasional reboot, which was a deal breaker fr me, as I really enjoyed it otherwise.
However, yesterday, right before class, I was on a phone call, and when I hung up, I locked my screen as usual. Well I went to unlock it a few minutes later, and the screen was black, but the backlight was on, and the control keys on the bottom were on. I could not get the phone to respond to anything, so I hard shut it down(held the power button for about 10 seconds). When I booted it back up, it had made 2 changes I noticed immediately.
1.) My background was reset from the one I had to a random CM wallpaper, and not even the one that comes with CM11.
2.) (and the more annoying one) I now have a constant notification from my default messaging app that tells me i have XX amount of new notifications, with the number growing every time I get a new message.
Now, I use EvolveSMS as my default, having just recently switched from GoSMSPro to Hangouts with CM11, and now this one. I have never used the default messaging app, as it just plain lacks some features I want. I've gone through the default app, however, and "read" every text,and the number in the notification did not decrease. When I clear my notification, it returns within 3 seconds. I think 3 seconds is longest I've gone without it.
Yesterday, I went through and, regretably, deleted ALL of my texts. At that time, I had 35 "new"messages. That got rid of the notification. So I went back to using my EvolveSMS, and now today, I got the notification again, and have 37 "new" messages as of now.
Any ideas what the heck could cause this? Obviously that random freeze had something to do with it, I just can't find anything out.

Change your messaging app from hangouts to messaging, the notification will go away, and stays away after you switch back to hangouts. Done and done.
I've seen similarISH issues but nothing like what I'm having happen... I'm sure its happened to someone but its now buried in the depths of the internet never to be seen again, So here we go.
I last night Flashed back from NC5 back to MK2 4.3 had no problems during this process that I could see, No Cache issues, no bricking, nothing.
Was able to Re-root my phone, all my root apps working just fine.
But today I noticed I had 2 missed calls and 1 VM. So I proceeded to call my VM and the phone call never went through and my phone seemed to slow way the hell down almost like when your RAM is filling on a PC or a memory leak in a game. It then Showed the call icon up in the notification bar about 10 seconds later and 10-15seconds after that it went away and went back dial a # screen in "phone".
One time I got "com.android.phone has stopped" but only 1 time. And i tried about 30 different fixes for that issue. That popup has only happened 1 time though.
And after all the fixes I still Cannot make phone calls.
I CAN TEXT NO PROBLEM THOUGH. Which from what i have read on most threads with people having this problem they cannot.
EDIT: Audio and video files are not working either... which I imagine is why i couldn't make a screen cap video showing the issue

Well maybe I'd try flashing the Non-hlos modem that corresponds to your bootloader ( nc5 ?? )
And if that doesn't help any or you've already tried that you may just be out of luck and have to Odin back to full NC5 then go back through that whole process. Just one of them things

In the last day or so many push notifications have stopped working or only randomly work. Also a couple days ago i had to clear play store as i couldn't install a few apps. I am on Ls992 zv4, holding off on updating joint for root. I will open gmail and sometimes be messages will pop in after a few seconds and sometimes i have to manly refresh and the messages will have a receive till of several hours ago. Sometimes i will get push notifications grim Facebook sometimes not. Another app I'm having problems with is Remind. I won't get push notifications but when i open it there is a new message there. Another issue i have it's the phone now randomly hangs and has locked up several times. I think the only time it has locked up was while using hangouts for video chat. Also since almost day one watching videos on YouTube or web browser videos will freeze while audio keeps going. If you pause the video it may play for 1 second or 30 before it does it again. And the phone can lock up for several second too when this happens. Its like the processor gets backed up and everything at once. Resetting the phone fixes the video and hanging issues for a short time but it will come back. Again i wasn't too concerned about the video issue at first going for root and costumer to fix the issue, but that looks doubtful now. Anyone else have any of these and a fix?
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.

I went back to the Samsung messaging app and it seemed more reliable, but I just installed the latest updates a week or so ago, and now the Google Messages app seems to be working properly again...
mine is doing the same thing. makes me want to throw it at a wall. circle just spins and i get a failed . resend works . i have have cleared the cache partition tried chomp and other texting programs including the samsung and they all fail. but not all the time very annoying when you think a message went out that important and half hour you look at your phone to see why they didnt respond and it failed. anyone have any ideas? thanks
