First of all, I am using the normal software on the phone, it is not rooted or anything.
I am having a lot of issues using the Messages App on my 4G LTE. Often times when I click on a conversation it will often display the number for the contact I am trying to text and display the loading icon and spinny wheel in the text box. Sometimes after a minute or so the conversation will appear and I can message that person, other times it will not.
The same thing happens when I sometimes click on the People App. It simply will not load for a minute or two.
The dialer has similar problems. I will use a speed dial or pull up a contact to call, and when I speed-dial or press to call that contact, the dialer will reset and act as if I had just opened it. Sometimes it will connect the call one or two minutes after this occurs.
I have tried GO SMS Pro but that had problems of its own.
Any help would be appreciated.
I had the exact same problem. I tried deleting apps, battery pulls, factory resets, cache clearing, etc. Nothing worked. So I rooted and it's fine now. I hope you find a solution. I never could.

I'm rooted also but I have the problem too. I'm running ViperLTE. I thought it might be my OOM managing app killing them. I've use a different dialer and now recently a new text app. Its a sense thing I think. People complain about it on HTC evo lte forums.

What method did you use to root it?

For the life of me I can't figure this out. I installed Handscent on my Thunderbolt and now it is sending the same text 2 - 3 times. I've tried uninstalling, clearing data, clearing cache and nothing works. I disabled every notification on the standard messaging app but it just keeps doing it.
Anyone have any ideas?
No ideas, but you're not alone...
I just want to bump this and say that it is happening with GoSMS and the stock messaging app as well. I wonder if it's the network.
I had to do clear data in messaging app in Manage Applications menu. Just make sure there are no messages you want to keep because you will lose them.
Had the same issue. I called Verizon to report it. I rebooted and have not had any issues. Well none that I know of. Not sure if it was the network or my phone.
Yeah nothing is working. Using stock app and cleared data, still doing it. I'm beginning to think it has to do with the DasBAMF Rom because it didn't happen until I started using the rom.
Give it a day... its more than likely the network and not the ROM... ive used many different ROMs on my D1 and this problem would come and go from time to time... often without even changing ROMs.... give it 24 hours, if it doesnt stop, try a new ROM then, dont give up on it so fast.
This was happening to me about two weeks ago. It worked itself out.
Have you guys tried freezing the old msging app?
it's happening on my stock TB...pretty sure it's just the network considering my blackberry used to do this as well.
So Im having data issues today i wanna really exchange it Monday but Im afraid if i do il have screen issues right now data will work halfway and i have to keep refreshing the page til it finally loads its horrible but Im afraid to exchange it cause people that are havih the screen problems i have a problem at the upper top looks llike dead piles its a very light spot but usually only seen while on the camera app or when its turned on

If you think about the number of phones that are out there and people only generally post when there's an issue, I wouldn't worry about exchanging it. I've had two phones with no issues.

today I backed up my iphone SMSs and loaded them with sms backup and restore... everything went fine, but then my phone reset and there is a circle with a line through it where the data connection icon should be and says there is no sim installed.... I also cant dial out, but I received a call on the way home from work.
trying to open message app on the phone gives me a time out message and asks me to kill or wait. then the phone just freezes. I'm looking everywhere for a solution... first time android user so this is driving me a little bit nutty.
on my iphone I would just restore firmware... I guess thats what I should try here?

Have you done any type of changes to the phone like rooting, etc.? Anything you can think of that might have caused it or changed something right before it happened?
No, I haven't rooted or anything. All I did was download a few basic apps and then try to transfer my data to the new phone. I ordered a jig and don't want to do anything until it arrives.
I have solved the data issue, somehow the sim came slightly out of place. Once I reseated everything was good. is the sim slot that finicky?
i also did a factory reset and started from scratch and worked out the issue with the text messages. I appreciated your willingness to help a noob, thank you.
I've had my phone since about December or January, I have not rooted, the only thing I have done is uninstall the updates to some bloatware to try to prolong my battery life. I noticed this particular problem in February, but ignored it, now it is getting worse. What happens is, while I'm texting, I will be typing text but nothing shows up in the text box. I can see the suggestions pop up, but nothing shows in the box. I can delete and it shows on the suggestion box that I'm deleting text, but nothing shows in the box. After a little while of messing with it, it finally decides to act right and I can text again until the next time it happens. I'm at a loss as to what is going on. Is it software? I'm on the Verizon network in a non 4G area.
Yeah that's what happened to me alot before I rooted my Inspire 4g try clearing the cache on the keyboard that worked for me or u can use SwiftKey or go keyboard or another keyboard replacement

I know that puts off my 4G issues for a bit when I restart the phone. It may help this as well.
Mine does that too. But for me it ends with the keyboard applications force closing.

Yes, I've restarted when it happens, usually fixes the issue but only for a short time, it seems to happen at random. I'll try installing a new keyboard, but is this a software issue I'm guessing? Also, how do you clear the keyboard cache? I keep my normal cache clear of things I don't need regularly, but have never cleared a keyboard cache before.
I know the guys will get "mad" at me for saying this but same here, but with a 4G issue I have been having.( I am not trying to piss you guys off ok)
Yes try and install a new keyboard. If that does not work, try clearing the "data" on Swype.
update
After calling Verizon we ended up doing a factory reset on my phone. So far so good, but if it does it again they said they would have to replace my phone.
That happens to me a lot. Only in the text messaging app, though. I just close the texting app and open it up again and it usually fixes itself.
Verizon actually replaced my razr for this reason also my screen was unresponsive at times. Now replacing this razr for same unresponsive screen at times

Ever since I got my first Android device (Galaxy Nexus) I had the problem that Gmail and Google Talk just often won't notify me about new messages. It works fine sometimes but often there is a delay between a few seconds and several hours until it finally notifies me (if at all that is).
It's basically freaking useless. I just can't rely on it so I end up checking for messages and mail manually every few minutes.
Things that don't affect the problem:
Device and Android Version. Plenty of people reported this problem and it's just not limited to one device or version.
If the screen is turned off or not. It even stops working while Talk is open (not in the background).
How the phone connects to the internet. At home it's using the same connection as my PC, while it just won't notify me of an new e-mail the Talk client on the PC manages it without problems.
ROM/Kernel don't seem matter either. Also did plenty of factory resets.
All I can find are old and/or unanswered threads.
Like those:

I'd have ditched Android by now if there would be a good alternative. But it's either Android, iOS or Windows Phone...
Sign out of google talk and gmail.do a battery pull, then a factory reset, then try again.

my advice. backup what you need(ie. text messages) and just clear data, revert to stock image

I don't really get how this could help. Don't feel like doing yet another reset unless it could really have an effect.

ROM and Kernel don't seem to matter. That includes for example stock, Cyanogen and franco kernel.
Did a factory reset like 100 times before, just this time logged out first. Didn't help, how unexpected.
Another option, contact sprint, have them do a. Profile refresh. Also update ur prl twice. Now that I think about, it could be a slight network issue in connection with ur device (hard to explain)

I'm in Europe. No sprint here.
I'll replace my Nexus with an S III today. Guess I'm about to find out if it's affected too.
Will probably be hard to do any further tests with the Nexus because my SIM is going to have a little meeting with a scissor.
Didn't get too many messages yet but some of them were definitely several minutes late. Guess the S III is affected too. Just great.
Am I the only person with this problem?
Still happening and renders the phone mostly useless.
At least some ideas on how to pinpoint the problem?
I updated on Thursday and have been having some issues since then. The first thing I noticed was the signal strength bars are weaker, where I would normally have 4-5 bars I now have 1-2 still on LTE though.
The next thing that happened was Friday night, there was no service and the phone said there was no SIM card. I power cycled the phone and then it came back up without the error. This happened again tonight, Saturday.
My other issue/question is how do I turn off the phone? Before when I would hold down the power button it would have a dialog that let me put it in airplane mode, restart or power off. Now when I hold it down the 3 buttons blink and it tells me to keep holding down to restart and that's it.

sounds like wipe data time. I don't have that behavior.

I was getting the sim car error often before the update I powered off, and re seated the sim card and powered on and I haven't had an issue since then. Also I have never had the issue with signal or the power button.

After you pop the SIM card, boot into recovery and wipe dalvik cache, cache, and go into advanced and fix permissions. Reboot and profit. This SIM error is a permissions thing getting screwed up.
I did a factory reset last night and just the issue again. My DNA is stock so I don't know how to clear the caches. Any other ideas?
Google Now opens browser instead of application
After the update, Google Now / voice search opens up a browser instead of the application needed.
For instance, if I ask for directions to a place, the phone opens Chrome with directions. The directions are no where near where I am. If I try to dial someone via voice, the Google Now card pops up with the person's contact followed immediately by Chrome.
I'm not sure if anyone has a fix for this, but it's certainly annoying and drastically reduces the capabilities of this phone for me.
Thanks all,
Mike

I got the update today and google now works same as it did before for me. Ask for directions, it goes to maps and show me directions and try to voice dial someone and their card pops up followed by call initiation. I just use the stock browser though, not chrome. Maybe it is chrome.
Also noticed there is a new location service option now, after update, for google search in addition to the previous options for verizon, google and gps. Will be interesting to see how this changes search accuracy, if at all.

I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling Google Search, it now works properly.
Regarding the turn off, it sounds like you're trying to turn it off from the lock screen. Swipe in and then try.
Otherwise I haven't had any issues with the OTA and it actually helped a lot with the volume (lowest volume was still really loud before) and I seem to be getting better WiFi signal.
