Text Messages / Email Freezing

[MikeKnoop]

Hey guys,

I'm running on Juicy 3.9 on a CDMA sprint diamond. One of the annoyances that I've put up with for a while (since customizing my phone after flashing) is that I can fairly reliably freeze my phone whenever I get a new text message or email. It goes something like this:

I get a text message, I flip to the text message tab in TF3D and click on the message. This loads the standard WM "messaging" app, and as soon as I click on the keyboard button on the bottom (I have auto-deploy disabled) the phone will freeze. The same thing can be reproduced for emails.

Is this a common occurrence? I'm tested using both the standard QERTY keyboard and TouchPal, both cause freezing to occur. I was initially concerned it was a stability problem with the ROM but I recall Juicy's ROMs to be very reliable. Does anyone have a recommendation? I'm considering just hard-resetting and starting over with the current ROM or a differnet one.

Did you do a clean install of the rom? Meaning flash then clear memory?

Does it only freeze momentarily, or does it freeze completely and you have to soft reset? I'm having an issue on mine where Text messaging is freezing when I'm typing. I'm just living with it for now, until SPB Mobile 3 comes out and I upgrade to the newest Groove or Juicy without TF3D. But perhaps this is the same issue as I'm having.

But if you're locking up completely, I'm not sure, I would say to reflash, and be sure to do a hard reset before and after. Also be mindful about what mods/apps you're installing afterwords. I would say to check to make sure they work without installing anything on top of the base flash install, if it works, install apps/mods one or two at a time, then test again, then you can see which one might be causing it. If you can get them all installed without issue, then you'll know it just needed a reflash, if it freezes up after a specific set of installs, then there's your problem, maybe find an update for whatever it is you're installing or you might just have to deal without it.

But also 3.9 is behind the times, 4.4 is the latest Juicy, I would say upgrade to that if you're going to re-flash.

Thanks guys, I'm going to take the advice given here and try to hard-reset, then reflash, and one more hard-reset with Juicy 4.4. For informational sake, the phone was freezing completely (I have touchresponse installed and even it wasn't giving vibration feedback when I tapped the screen while frozen).

Let us know how it works out for you. Good luck!

just my 2 cents, but i noticed with several different roms that i have flashed, that this only happened AFTER using PimBackup 2.8 to restore my text messages, before on every rom that i tested my texting seemed not to lag and/or freeze up while actually texting someone... but after the use of pimbackup to restore my messages, i noticed the freezing issue.

No it turns out this is a bug with the current sys file.
