I don't know if these issues are related or not, but I'm having issues with making phone calls and reading texts. This has persisted for several months. I've updated the ROM (MeanROM) hoping it might fix it, but I don't know if it's related or not if others aren't experiencing the problem. I did a factory reset and it fixed the issues temporarily, but I'm not even sure if it worked for a day.
The text problem:
Texts come in and I usually get them right away. Meaning, my notification sound is made and a preview is displayed on my lock screen and in my notification bar. But when I try to open the full message, it takes several minutes to load. When I send messages, it seems to be fine. It's almost like it's loading all of my texts in the thread when I open it. I used to use Handcent, but have since switched to the stock messaging application. The problem exists with both.
The calling problem:
I seem to receive calls fine, but I can't always make calls. I can open up the calling app and most times it will show my recent calls, but I have to click "Call" (to call the last person) or click on one of the recent contacts to call and then wait a minute or two before the phone shows any response that it's calling. There are other issues involved like it not finding people or numbers that are in my address book when I try to search for them with the number pad.
I would appreciate ANY help that anyone can provide. Let me know if I can provide any other information.
Thanks!
Have you tried a new Jelly Bean based ROM? I had the contact lag issue, same as you, on ICS. Going to JB has seemed to fix it entirely for me.
Can you provide some add'l info...?
What Radio/firmware? S-on/off?
What version of MeanROM?
Did you do a clean install and if so, did you restore any apps/data from a nandroid or manually re-install everything?
All of my info is in my sig. But, any Jelly Bean based ROM should fix the issue. It was an issue with HTC, and they fixed it with the recent update. I have not tried MeanBean, but it may be what you are looking for.
Yes, I did a clean install of mine, and I used "Titanium Backup" to restore some of my Apps. As well as "SMS Backup and Restore" to backup all of my texts before the wipe. I didn't restore my texts though, just kept the backup.

I have not? What were your running previously? How long have you been running the new ROM? As I said, I did a factory reset and it seemed to fix things temporarily, but it's back again.

MeanROM ICS 6.5
Am I missing anything? If so, how do I find it?
I did a factory reset and then installed from the 6.5 ROM that I downloaded. I did restore apps from Titanium backup, but tried to avoid anything related to text or calling. I use SMS backup and I restored my most recent texts, but probably less than 10 per user from less than 10 users.
I had been following MeanROM ICS and didn't realize that the MeanBean ROM was out. I guess I'll try that next.
Thanks!
JB update

Im Having This Wierd Problem On All AOSP/AOKP ROMs That When I Restore My Messages (Thousands At A Time) And I Go To My Messeges It Just Freezes And Does Nothing. I Restart The Phone And All And There Still not There, I Tried GoSMS And Stock Messeging App And Same Thing. This Is A Big Problem For Me Because I Text A lot And Have To Switch Back To my Sense ROMs To Do A Lot Of Texting Although I Prefer Sense. Anybody Know A Possible Fix Or Anything That Helps?
Did what someone suggested in the other thread about upping the limit help?
Hi Guys,
Anyone here experiencing the same problem I have? I could use some help please!
I'm happy with the update because it brings a lot of new features but the I hate the fact the it killed the stock messaging app. it lags so bad when scrolling, especially when i have a picture in the background. I didn't have the lag in 4.1.2 so I guess it is software related. I also did a reset to my phone 2 times but no good.
Any fix on this? or help me get this message to samsung. It might be a possible bug.
stock messaging lags
i have the same issue. any fix on these yet?
Hello all,
I searched around this forum and other places of how to fix the compression on SMS but haven't found a clear solution. I don't know that much about coding and cant really get into it to fixing it. I'm currently on the Super Nexus 4.2.1 build 2 Rom and love everything about it, except the Android SMS compression. On my last Rom I was able to sent out pictures that were 200-400KBs or higher in size and looked good, but on this one I barely get over 100KBs. I don't want to use any 3rd party apps like handcent sms, I just want to know how this can be fixed. ShoStock rom has a modded SMS.apk that works perfectly, but I don't know how to replicate that.
Thanks again and sorry about my noobnes
My GF updated to 4.2.2 and she is having some lag with the text messaging app. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have the same Issue. cleared all txt msgs, once I get about 10 msgs or so in a convo it takes between 10-20 seconds to load the txt msgs. NOT to mention it takes about 20 seconds to SEND a message (MMS take even longer). I txt all the time, im quick at it, replying to a lot of ppl fast since the 4.2.2 update takes FOREVER.
I cant find a lot of people with the same issue just a few comments here or there on the stories about the update coming out.
what I did, and I don't like doing it is downloading a free SMS app. lighting fast. better then the stock. I love the phone it worked great before the update, I don't understand why it changed.
