Hi,
I'm using Viber for a long time and it's quit a while that I have this problem. I'm using Samsung Galaxy S4 with oroginal ROM and have few active conversations in my Viber list. The current version of my Viber is 5.2.1.
The problem:
Whenever I get a text message in a "group conversation", the Viber screen freezes and the CPU consumption rises to 50%, after few minutes (1 to 10 minutes depends on the number of incoming messages) the CPU usage drops again and Viber starts working normally until I receive another text message in a group conversation.
Fact1 :
There is no problem with private text messages (one to one), no matter how many texts I receive. As long as they are private everything is fine.
Fact2 :
Small groups are also not a big issue. I'm member of groups with 5-6 people and I have no problem with receiving texts in these groups.
Fact 3 :
In a group with (roughly) 50 members, even the "X joined" message will freeze the Viber for few minutes and will increase the CPU usage to more than 50%.
Fact4 :
I did almost all recommendations in other posts like: rebooting, clearing the cache, clearing the app data, Re-installing the app, leaving the groups and joining them again, etc. but none of them helped.
Fact5 :
When I'm leaving ALL of those groups which have more than 20 members, then everything is going back to normal and I can use Viber normally (for private texts), but when I join back to even ONE of those groups, by receiving the first text, problem rises again (as long as there is no text from the group conversations, Viber works fine. Means that just joining a group doesn't make any problem, problem appears when Viber tries to fetch new messages in such groups).
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hey all. I really hope this is the correct forum.
I am doing some research at the moment for University and what I am trying to do is to monitor / log all communications over an android device.
For example, I want to get the following data.
User X wants to communicate with one of their contacts, User Y.
How may phone calls, voIP calls, text messages, emails, facebook messages, whatsapp messages etc does User X send to User Y.
The call logs, sms, emails etc are not an issue but I've ran into a wall trying to figure out how to find out this same data from applications such as Whatsapp and Viber. Whatsapp is an application which uses the phones data connection to send messages and Viber is a voIP app.
I don't need any data from the phone call or message itself. I just need to record the frequency of calls and messages to particular users.
Would anyone have any advice regarding this, it would be very much appreciated.
edit: Oh and I am looking to code this. I am not looking for an already created app.
So I have a bunch of friends with iPhones, and they threw me into a group chat (not that it matters but we're organizing a martini night). As you guys probably know as android users, this presents a problem as the group messages are received as individual texts, normally with a <no subject> header, and as a result, you can't reply to the chat, but have to respond to each member individually (or send a mass text each time).
I'm wondering if there's simply a way to group (on my end only) those contacts together, so that any message I receive from them shows up as a group chat, which I can then reply to all. I would still get the <no subject> headers, but at least this way the messages could be organized and I could read the conversation without having to look at each contact separately and compare the message with the timestamp from when it was sent.
The apps I've seen (like POWOW) can create chat groups, but it requires that my friends join the chat, or reply to some strange number each time, and it's really just an unnecessary hassle for them. I don't want that.
Anyone know of an app, or a way of grouping contacts together like this?
I'm on CM7 using the "Messaging" app.
Handcent has this feature. Free @ play store.

So I know there's a million reasons, usually network related, for sending a receiving duplicate messages. However, my default texting app is physically sending duplicates. If I send a message, it pauses as it's sending, and then all of sudden a duplicate appears. On my actual phone, I can see my sent message twice. Then of course the recipient gets two as well. This is literally happening more than 50% of the time I send messages.
At one point I was testing out other message apps, but have since deleted ALL 3rd party messaging apps (to my knowledge), and this is occurring with the default app.
Hello! I m using the latest whatsapp on a Samsung Galaxy S6. I m in a lot of groups in whatsapp and i get a lot of messages. When i turn on the internet connection whatsapp load in background all the group messages and this drains my battery if i m doing something different on the phone instead of whatsapp. In ios whatsapp app group messages only load when the application is opened but the contacts messages are received all the time. Is there a way to block group messages in background but keeping the contacts messages?

I started noticing a slowdown on my LG V20 in the last week or 2. It was very random. I believe it is because I have about 57,000 text messages.
I do not need 57,000 text messages. I normally use Chomp or Textra apps. At this time, some text messages started to not come through to me. For example, my boss texted me and then called me later when I did not respond. Screenshots show she sent the text but I never received it. This happens rarely, but has happened with my sister and my wife as well.
I loaded the default AT&T text message and asked it to truncate all converstaions at 1000 messages per thread (I have 2 threads over 12000 messages). It was unable to do it. I then installed Textra again and asked it to do the same thing - it could not delete old messages or keep conversations at 1000. However, Textra shows some of the dropped text messages. The other apps (Chomp, default AT&T, and Handcent) do not show them at all.
My only solution is to delete all the text messages. I would like to keep the recent ones but no app seems to be able to keep the limits I have set on the threads.
Is there some type of SMS/MMS management app that would manually force the conversations to their limits (1000 messages per conversation?).
I believe when I updated to this phone, and I transferred my messages from my S7, maybe an error was introduced?
One conversation thread has a triangle with an exclamation point inside it. Maybe that thread is damaged?
Any advice appreciated.
