Messaging Freezes - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sup guys,
I've got the Galaxy S3 from Optus in Australia, and I've used SMS Backup and Restore to move my messages from my S2 to my S3. It works for a couple of hours and I can send and receive messages but after a while it refuses to start until I delete mmssms.db and .db-journal and replace it with a backup.
Soooooo any of you guys faced this problem?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers.

I havent restored anything but sometimes my whole phone freezes for about 5 seconds when recieving a text regardless of what im doing on the phone

I've tried doing this too. It's not the phone freezing for 5 seconds before loading. It's that message don't work at all. You can't do anything with messages. You try opening the messaging app, and after a while, the phone says it is not responding, and I can force close it if I want, or keep waiting. Whenever I get sent a text, it restarts the phone. I can't do anything with messages, and have had to hard reset it so I can. I've tried about 4 different apps, all promising to work, but none have.
Does anyone else know how to transfer messages from my S2 to S3 (I have a lot)

[Q] SMS receiving problem

Hello.
My father has a SGS2 and has a problem with receiving messages.
It's so complicated, I don't know how to explain it )
When someone texts him, he receives that SMS multiple times. And if he receives another message, the telephone keeps receiving the first message.
Last night I took a test: I sent him 4 messages, little time one after another. He received 8 messages (all duplicates of the first), but in a very strange way: at a 10 minutes interval (0:07, 0:17, 0:27...).
Does anyone has any idea?
Have you tried his sim in another phone to rule out the phone as the problem?

Yes, I tried his sim in another phone and also my sim in his phone.
But... it looks like the problem was solved!
My father uninstalled this morning all the apps and games he didn't use, and magically he receives the messages ok
I think it was some bug, but I can't relate it to any app, unfortunately.
Hmmm without reinstalling them one by one it would be hard to fine the problem app.

Go SMS Pro sending issues

Ok, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 on T-Mobile, not sure if this is the same for all carriers.
I have been using Go SMS Pro. Never had any issues till they updated it a few updates ago..I have uninstalled it and reinstalled. The problem is, that some Text (SMS)messages won't send, they FAIL. It don't matter if it's short (5 or less words) or long. or to who it gets sent to. I can, however, exit out of this app, and try to send it using the stock App that came with the phone and it sends without any issues. I am lost at this point as to why it keeps happening, or how to fix it.
Has anyone else experienced this isuue and if so, how have you fixed it?
I have alos tried to use Hancent SMS and it also did the same thing..
hmm i'm having a similar problem, but mine does send after a while instead of failing to send completely. Sometimes, my text messages will be stuck during the "sending" animation, where the green arrow just keeps loading and doesn't stop (which means it's not sent out). After a while, it will send out, but that's usually after i send a txt to someone else or if i exit and restart GO SMS PRO, or do something else. I'm not sure exactly but it just works after a while.
It's nothing to do with bad signals either. I'm not sure if it's because I've updated my Motorola Milestone to CM7 RC1, because i've never had this problem before on CM7 RC0. I dunno, it could be due to basebands as well? For my Milestone, I can choose to switch between basebands in the settings (provided by CM7 itself), but i've never had this problem before so i dunno....
I actually gave up on that app...happened quite too many times.. I now use Hancent SMS and never have this issue again... It also was happening to a co-worker and she did the same thing after I told her about it..

Sorry, as silly as this sounds...I gave up on this app a long time ago and went with Hancent SMS Pro...only had this issue once with them and found out on my type of phone Galaxy S2, I can't disable the other SMS apps in Handcent, I had to leave it enabled...so try that with Go SMS Pro...I don't know/remember if Go SMS had this option in the Settings...Good Luck...let us know if that worked or not...
Had the same problem using Go SMS with two SIM cards. Both failed to send to certain numbers; so it's not an issue with providers. Solved this way: Go SMS settings, More tools, SMS blocker, Settings, disable all black list and white lists. The app runs normally again. The developers should take note of this.
hhhmmmm... same here... I can't send SMS using GO SMS Pro to my Samsung Galaxy Note 1. But I can send message using the ordinary app here which has only 80 characters.... What should I do? How can I fix it? But it works in my Motorola phone.. hhhmmm....
Just go to your app manager, then choose ho sms pro, then below the premissions part. You can see the options on sending premium sms. Select ASK and try if it works again...

[Q] Strange SMS BUG. Please Help.

Hello,
I have a problem. My phone randomly rebooted today and when I go back into the phone all my recent messages have been deleted and only old messages (from a couple days ago) show up. I have Handcent installed and deleted it. When I turn off and on my phone, Handcent reappears and again only my old messages appear. Can someone please help. I don't know why Handcent keeps restoring. I am not rooted either in case it matters.
Thank You
Do you have delete old messages in either the stock messaging or Handcent app?
It is a setting you can turn off, I think its on by default.
No I have that off. The strange part is that the Handcent app keeps restoring after I restart the phone. I just want it off my phone without having to wipe the whole phone.

[Q] Text messages disappearing

I'm on a Verizon note 2 using the standard root backatcha Verizon or suckit whatever the latest one was. After I send a few text messages all of my texts disappear and I have to restart my phone to get them to show up. Anyone know why? Also is there a rom out yet that works like the Galaxy s4 with 4.2.2 and the eye tricks? When my phone reboots die to the text messaging error it always gives me an error message saying currently unable to download. I'm not sure what it is trying to download or why my texts randomly disappear. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sounds like an issue either with your Su needing to be updated, or the messaging app your using.
I would wipe phone. re-run the stock rooter in odin. then go back to using recovery after that for flashing roms.
