I was really hoping the new firmware update would fix this problem but no such luck. Will it ever be fixed? Will anyone ever even respond to my bug reports at Asus or Google? I'm so frustrated. I have crash logs saved in the futile hope that someone might actually investigate, but nobody wants them. Not being able to use this app makes my tablet close to useless for me
Aaaaaaaaaaaargh
It is actually worse than it was before. Sometimes before I could use Gmail for 20 seconds or so before it crashed. Now it crashes immediately every single time Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone know of a fix?
Same problem
I have the same problem. I have a BCOK tablet that is rooted and locked, but the problem has persisted since before I rooted. I don't know a good solution. My email app also crashes, and I haven't been able to find another e-mail app on the market that I like.
gmail fix???
I had the same exact problem for a while with my gmail. I too had hoped the updates would fix it. However, i tried something on my own and it worked!!! I havent had a problem since.
reduce your "days of mail to sync" settings and reboot. I dont have my Prime with me right now so i cant tell you what i have. but I think I went from the default 30 days to 15 days. I will try and remember to check later. but once I did that I no longer have the email freeze and crash problem.
If i remember correctly (I did this a month or so ago), it wasnt an immediae fix. It went from not being able to open as usual, to freezing and crashing a couple times, to no problems at all. All within a matter of days. I am assuming the system had to "settle" or something. I am in no way that techie, but im not a noob. so I have no idea if this is a fix... but give it a shot.
Thanks, I will give it a shot.
Let me know how it goes... im curious if I was just lucky, or i stumbled on to something.
I'm afraid to post this because I will probably jinx myself, but I actually haven't had a crash yet since I changed the sync days to 15... I'll post again in a couple of days and let you know if it's still going good!

looks like it may have worked for cwoodard73... at least so far. i havent had a problem since then.
Well, it didn't work for me. But hey, it was worth a try . Thanks for the tip!
it didn't end up working unfortunately. gmail sometimes says open for a few seconds instead of crashing right away, but it's still unusable. sigh. maybe one of these days i'll be able to check email on my prime. after 4 months this is getting really old to say the least, and i find myself eyeballing my husband's ipad3 more and more often...
Just wondering....
I've only had my tp for a week, so I'm new to this device and to Android 4 - but I'm not new to Android.
As I said, I've only been using my prime for a week, but I don't see any of the problems that so many people have been talking about. So this is a question not a flame. Are the people having all these issues people who have had the device for a while and have piled udate on top of update?
In my case I don't even know what firmware version came with my prime because immediately after doing the initial battery charge, I did a manual fresh install of the .28 version. So I was starting out completely clean and I have to wonder if that's why mine is working so well?
I have done a factory reset after every update to try and get gmail working. no luck
I now have the problem again. Had it a few months back, then it went away, now it is back again. I have not changed anything. I also notice the problem on the Asus mail application as well. That is new. In the past it was not affected.

Did as suggested with same crashing. Finely I got a send crash report and it was a Java lang outofmemory error. Still do not know how to fix it though

I have searched this over and cannot find a solution to the issue. I have had my GS3 for a number of months now. Just recently, I could no longer receive SMS messages. MMS works ok. I called ATT, they blamed the phone since it wasnt one of theirs. I just hung up with them, as they're no help anyway. I went to the ATT store and one of the guys there took my SIM card out and put it in another phone. All of my messages immediately downloaded to the other phone. We took the SIM out and put it back in my GS3, and everything worked normal again. One week later, it's doing the exact same thing. I don't have another phone to put my SIM into, and I sure don't want to keep going back to the ATT store each week to dump my SMS messages. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it.
Does ANYONE have any suggestions as to why this is suddenly happening?
I am stock everything.

Yeah, no problems making phone calls. I will say that the other thing that happens quite often is that my phone will make no noise on incoming calls or SMS messages. Someone can send me a message or call, and I'll be sitting right there with the device in hand, and it won't make a noise to let me know.
I am still awaiting my Jelly Bean update. Hopefully that will clear up most of it. It seems these problems began when it updated to 4.0.4.
But the SMS problem SUCKS.
On another note, if the Jelly Bean update doesn't fix these issues, I will be trading my I9300 for a Nokia 920 quicker than you can shake a stick.
im baffled by this problem too things I would of recommended 1st have already been checked. Have you tried a complete/fresh install?.
Seems your service centre number is correct too, have u tried changing it/deleting it, save then reenter the number again?
also found this page for ATT service centre numbers maybe theres more than 1 for your area?

Yup. Wiped and reinstalled at the advice of ATT. No help. I am not the only one with this problem if you Google it. But there are no answers for the problem. I'm beside myself.
Can not receive SMS. (Permanent SMSC FIX)
Ok sorry for lasting so long.
Look at this and try. Maybe this is your problem. Had solved my problem. After flashing a new Rom.
If you have problems as described in first post and your smsc number is showing the right thing so also do this steps.
1. Find out the right SMSC (Short Messenger Service Central) number of your provider (for example O2 Germany is: +491760000443)
2.0 Then you have to translate/calculate it
at this site:
http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode
2.1 Type at SMSC your sms-provider-number (Example: +49xxxxx)
2.2 Delete Receiver and the small text under it
2.3 Click on Convert
3. A number appears at the right side, write it on a paper or copy it
4. Open Dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*
5. Click phone data and scroll down to SMSC
6. Then paste or write the number from 3.
7. Click actualize, update or something similar
8. Wait till your network is online again and then click refresh (about 5 seconds)
9. If your entered number still appears everything is working fine.
Sample for O2 Germany
(+49 is Germany replace it with the one from your country)
[SMSC] number is: +491760000443
[Calculated] number is: 0791947106004034110000910000AA00
[Showed] number after update is: 0791947106004034
(You have to cut "AT+CMGW=8")
Hope I could help some one with this.

Anybody else know anything about this? It's doing it again. I cleared my messages on my wifes phone last Friday. It almost made it a week.
UUK said he knew of an answer and would post it when he got back to his computer, but he must be aboard the ISS or something. I can't contact him.
It's driving me crazy, not to mention I miss important SMS messages.

After Googling the problem, I am not the only one having this issue. It is happening all over. But I cannot seem to find an answer to it. I have contacted Samsung who was absolutely NO help, and ATT, who have created a ticket to try and help solve the issue. They even acknowledge it seems to be a much larger issue than just my device.
In the meantime, I will keep my eyes peeled here if anyone has any insight. I shouldn't have to flash anything as the device is entirely stock.
However, I think I have narrowed it down to the latest 4.0.4 update. It didn't do it before I got the update.
I will keep checking in here regularly.
My s3 suddenly stopped receiving SMS after flashing 4.1.2 Supernexus also tried Dark paranoid android and same issue. Prior to that 4.1.1 B1ackB3an all was great. On Vodafone UK and the SMSSC was correct, sending SMS was fine and if I'd SMS myself it came through straight away. Occasionally SMS were received early morning but nothing all day until sometimes they came through when I walked back into the house after work and it connected to the wifi. I cleared cache and fixed permissions and even when rolling back to 4.1.1 it still persisted. Unrooted and returned to stock lastest Samsung/Vodafone firmware last night and seems ok, will see how it goes over the weekend.
Happened to me before I rooted and if you search is a common problem unrelated to rooting. Mine just started up again after a couple of days (voda uk, 4.0.4)

I am hoping when I get the JB update, it will take care of itself.

Seems so from looking on Vodafone forum. I'd just assumed that it was due my switching ROM's as everything had been fine since I first rooted in August. Just coincidence that it started at the same time I switched. Did wonder if it was an S3 and a carrier thing as my wife's iPhone 4s also on Vodafone as been fine throughout.

Hope it does for you, as it is so frustrating.
Yes. One thing I've noticed from Googling is that it is not carrier dependent. Interesting that rooted devices with different ROMs are experiencing the same issue. As previously stated, my device is 100% stock, not rooted.
Damn, it's doing it again. It didn't last but about 4 days this time. It worked this morning, but not tonight.
I am on jivy's ICScrewed 2.1 ROM running Siyah's last GB kernel. From time to time, my phone will suddenly become unable to receive text messages. I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891427. I do believe it's the same issue, but I was wondering if anyone knows the cause. I have been using this ROM for a while now, and this never happened. Only a couple months ago did this start occuring. Then lately, it's been happening more frequently. Instead of having to wipe and recover maybe once every 3 months, it's been turning into every month, then every 2 weeks, and twice within one week this week. It's just a pain in the ass to have to keep doing this. I'm not sure if it's the ROM itself. If it was, then wouldn't I have been experiencing this when I first started using the ROM? If anyone has a (permanent) fix for this, I'd appreciate it. I hate waking up to no texts. Makes me feel lonely.

I've been having the same problem intermittently. I had it today and 2 days ago. The temporary fix is to take the SIM card out of my phone and put it in my old BB Bold 9700 to get the missed texts then put the SIM back into my SGS2. Then the texting works again. But the problem eventually comes back. It's not a ROM problem. I'm rooted and using a Gingerbread ROM. I don't know what causes this. I've tried wiping the Dalvik cache and deleteing old text messages and this didn't seem to work. The SIM switching seems to be the only trick. I haven't called ATT. (They are usually in denial when there is some kind of issue on their end.)
If you find a solution then please post it!!!
I have had the same problem. Running the same ROM for a long problem then recently (~last 2 months) it started happening. I was running Sashir's Aberration ROM but it was the old (pre Dec. 2012) version.
One time I contacted at&t and they said my sim was an old outdated version so they gave me a new one which fixed the problem... for a couple weeks. I may go several days receiving no texts (send works fine) then all the sudden I get them all in one batch. After that it will receive texts fine until it eventually happens again.
I just flashed the new Aberration and hopefully it stops happening.

I just installed Cm10.1 on my Razr, it was working fine. much better then my stock rom. I get better service, my texting app isnt broken and its all around a lot faster too. The only problem i have experienced is the intermittent capacity of my phone to send and/or receive picture messages. Earlier today my girlfriend sent me a picture. It wasnt until i had rebooted my phone 2 times and wiped cache did i finally get the messages. I dont know if it was a fluke that it happened like that or not, but its kind of inconvenient.
Afterwards i tried to send a picture back, it was pretty much just a random picture of where i was standing at the time, nothing important, but it did not want to send. No matter what I did it would not send. I wound up checking back at it about 20 mins later and it said that it sent and it actually did.
Is anyone else experiencing this phenomenon and how do i fix it? or is it just something that im going to hope is fixed with a new update soon?

Hi guys,
my gf is having issues with her new L9 II D605.
When having a call there's absolutelly no sound coming from the speaker and the other side can't hear anything either.
After reboot everything works fine for a while (maybe even days).
It's already a second phone with the same issue.
No root, no hack, no system update done.
System reset doesn't help.
Any ideas what could it be pls? Faulty machine, second in a row?
Thx.

Ok so i flashed jb kdz and then updated to kk. Its been 5 days and i havent had no sound problem. So there is a problem with flashable zips in some regions.
I am not familiar with abbreviations so please explain. I have same issue. The issue appears when I have data on, perhaps. I have 4.4.2 version and the problem is frustrating. Should I go back to a previous version, and how please? Also I have install the VUTALK disabling soft that comes from LG, somehow it felt it was causing all that. I will push it with several calls to verify it's ok...
Does anyone have any settings to apply that may resolve the issue?
Does LG give a response to the issue??
Thanks
ps. btw I'm in Greece with Vodafone

Is this happening after camera failed to initialize? I think it is some bug in KK .
I have problem also with quiet mode. It won't go if wi-fi is on.
I am thinking to go back to JB 4.1.2 but not sure how.

so i send my phone about 10 days ago to service. They returned it saying it's fixed and tested. They have changed my ROM version from 20b to 20c-220-03. The phone worked fine, and I did not have problems with calls until today. I read your post and I remember that I accidentally open my camera today and it said "failed to initialize". After that the call problem appeared again. Now I forced my camera couple times until showed the same thing, and immediately tried to call my home number and here we go, call problem. It would be sooo nice if they could just fix this goddamn error which frustrates me a lot.
It's a stock zip bug, blame it on LG, try flashing 20d haven't had a problem with it, but I'll be using cm11 soon, which I think is much better. Cheers
Sent from my LG-D605 using XDA Free mobile app
I sent the phone to the service and guess what?
LG service centre is saying it's damaged and can't be repaired as they do not have the necessary spare parts.
So I'm getting my money back... hopefully...
No problem with calls nor messages anymore
I do not encounter this problem anymore. It might be that some automatic update has resolved it. I am currently using Android 4.4.3, build KOT49.D60520g.
By the way, I do not know about any lost text messages anymore (another issue of this phone) - - also ghostly SMS does not reveal any messages that would be lost without the app. But I try to keep the memory not full as well.
