google voice app keeps crashing when I text, please help :( - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I want to speak a text message using google it crashes almost every-time and freezing my phone for about 30 seconds with a message saying: Unfortunately, google app has stopped, report, ok?
If I click on the voice search app icon from google and ask for the weather etc it never crashes! It only crashes when I speak a text message almost every time!
** I have cleared the data and cache, and even did a factory reset, still crashing!! **
I have a Samsung Note 3 with 4.3 jellybean. My phone was sent from t mobile like this because I told them I did not want kitkat or lolly pop and corporate sent me this phone that wont update, what I wanted. Could it be crashing because I have a older OS (jellybean) ? I don't want a newer OS- hate to have to type all my text messages
Someone please help

[Q] Force closing of application...could use some help.

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on why this is happening to my vibrant all of a sudden. Quick little history on my phone: samsung vibrant, purchased 8/25, no modding, no rooting, no lag fixes, no nothing, straight out of box...i started getting this message after I sent a few normal yahoo emails out the other night:
Application process com. android.email has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again: dumpstate_app 201010071404_com android email.
Log has been saved. Use *#9900# to copy out log.
When I do the *#9900# it takes me to a few options, none of which I would have any clue about which to pick. Does anyone know what this is, how I can get rid of it? I use the app that came on the phone to access my yahoo email ( the app is the one that has the white envelope with the blue at symbol on it. I have deleted the account and configured again but nothing, I received the force close message again 10 min later. I had one person who tried to help me for hours, poor guy! But I really just want to find whatever it is that's doing this. I installed the offical yahoo app and its been working ok, a little slow, glitchy, freezes a lot, but I'm getting my email without a force close! Thanks to my tmobile friend who suggested the app...i would appreciate if anyone could help me. Thanks so much!
You should look for an email you just received that may be corrupted somehow. If you figure out which one, try to delete the email (online). I got similar messages repeatedly after I created a Google contact on line and it appeared in my phone's contacts. I had left the year off the person's birthdate and apparently there's a bug in the Vibrant such that it chokes and core dumps when it encounters an empty year field. I deleted the contact (on line, because I couldn't get to it on the phone without force closing) and the problem went away.

Go to app manager in settings and try clearing data. Also, as previous post suggests try deleting the email from online server and restart the sync process.
Thank You all! The force close issue is still happening. I've started using the browser to receive my yahoo email. I've done everything you all have suggested and nothing has helped. Thank you all again.

Messaging App Freezes constantly

Does anyone have the problem if you are trying to open the messaging app, and it freezes when you try to create a new message and type in the new message? Or it also freezes when you deleting conversations? when you delete one and try to delete the other it will freeze for like 5-6 seconds, the phone doesnt freeze. Just the app freezes. I can click the home button and go home but the app remains frozen untill i close the app, or it will throw up the force close error message from the background.
Please let me know if it is just my phone. Oh and also i'm completely stock. I use the forums here because everyone responds so quickly and takes phone issues serious. On the other O.G. forums people never respond or they don't know crap about phones.
Try clearing the data for the messaging app.

You can also archive old conversations with an app like SMS Backup and Restore and have them automatically uploaded to Dropbox or Google drive. Usually it is large database sizes due to large numbers of messages that slow down the message app.

Nah clearing the data doesn't work
I don't need to store my messages. And clearing the data doesn't help. It sux when I want to create a new message and once I add the recipients name and start to type in the body. It won't register my taps when the keyboard pops up and it's not SwiftKey it does this on the stock keyboard too. It won't register my tapping and then it will type all my taps 4 seconds later but it will all be mistyped. In a nut shell if I have numerous conversations and try to delete some it will take me a few force closes to delete the messages. And if I create a new message it will take me a minute to actually be able to send it off because I have to wait for the software to quit bugging out.

Never had a problem with mine stock, nor with Snow JB v1.1
Dam
I did a factory reset and I'm completely stock. If I have 5 conversations and I am going through deleting one at a time my messaging app will freeze after it deletes a conversation and the name on the contacts conversations will go away and it will just be their numbers showing and I won't be able to use the app it will be frozen and I have to hit the home button and manually close the app or in 15-20 seconds the "messaging app stop responding would you like to wait or force close" sign will pop up. The stock messaging app has a software flaw. My phone kept doing the sleep of death and once that stopped this started. I would get the s4,if it wasn't being released at the end of April.

Run the LGPNST. No one else has this "flaw" so the most likely culprit is a bad MMS.apk. Not the entire software line. I have well over 7k total messages in my db and it works perfectly.

Have you tried a 3rd party text messaging app? Textra, Yaata, QKSMS, etc? Stock messaging apps usually suck anyway. Might be a nice upgrade. If you can't access your messages with another app, then something is seriously messed up if it's failing after a factory reset as well. If so, might want to see if there are any custom rom options or maybe a new update from the manufacturer (or an older one if you have the newest).
will definetly try the 3rd party text messaging apps because when i use apps like facebook & whatsap i can type and read messages .

If you prefer the stock messaging app, then try downloading the stock rom and the extract the apk from it. Copy the apk to your phone. Then go to system/app on your phone via root explorer. Overwrite the orignal apk with the copied apk and change it permissions to rw- r– r–.
Hit thanks if i helped you!

S9 messages app bug?

Ok so I have a weird problem to report. After installing the latest Oreo update over-the-air from T-Mobile this morning, I installed the Galaxy S9 messages app from apkmirror.com, the one with the blue icon.
The messages that functions normally like you would expect it to but any time I get a text message from my wife who has a Galaxy S9, I get the text message twice. This issue can only be reproduced by receiving a text message from My Wife and nobody else.
I have been searching for a solution to this problem and I have already wiped the apps data and cache multiple times but nothing has fixed the problem.
Has anybody who has installed the S9 messages app from apkmirror.com run into the same problem and if so, how have you fixed it?
Update: it seems I'm getting duplicates from all my friends who have T-Mobile android devices, regardless of manufacturer or software version.
This happens randomly to me as well, it doesn't happen all the time but I think it is from those on tmobile as well that send me messages. I'd wait and see if it just clears up on its own. Or switch to another messaging app.

I have since uninstalled the updated version of Samsung messages and the bug is no longer present.
I was hoping for a solution or work around that didn't involve uninstalling the update but perhaps it's a bugged version of the app. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a newer version, hopefully one from a note build and not an s9 build.

If you don't mind sharing - how did you uninstall the updated Messages app? I have the same sporadic duplicate thing going on, so want to go back to stock app. Thank you

Go to settings > apps > messages and click the 3 dot menu button and click uninstall updates.
Update! I have officially figured out what is causing the duplicate text messages after updating to the latest messages app.
In the newest releases, like the ones that came on the S9 and S9+, samsung integrated the message service app into the messages app. This, for some, is causing duplicate text messages when receiving messages from people who are on the same service provider who's devices also have advanced messaging with chat features.
To fix the problem of duplicate texts, you will need to purchase and install package disabler pro ($2.50 - don't be cheap...) from the play store and disable message service app and reboot.

That's all there is to it enjoy no longer getting duplicate text messages just as I am.
Happy Tuesday!

Issues with Google Android Messages App Not Receiving MMS and LG's Messenging App

Hey guys...so since I've owned my V30 I've always been a user of Google's Messages app. It works flawelessly other than the fact that MMS's and Group Messages don't always come through. They'll show who sent them and state something along the lines of "unable to download, please click to retry" after doing so, sometimes the message is recovered sometimes it is not able to. More often not able to. Recently, it would seem I've become more annoyed with this issue. After many calls back and forth the with T-Mobile they've recommended I ditch Google's Messages app and use the included LG Messaging app.
Well, I can tell you...I no longer have issues not receiving MMS's or Group Messages....The issue I have now is, the LG app is SUPER SLOW. It can take 10-30 seconds just to open a chat....and if I have a group chat open with an active chat...the entire phone and app will freeze until the last message has stopped being received.
Does anybody have any suggestions to getting Google Messages working, or speeding up the LG Messaging app? I am not rooted so I'm stuck using this crappy app even disabled and not the default messaging app. I also removed LG Package disabler to see if turning something off was the issue but it is not.
