Hi,
i know this has came up alot, i was just wondering if anyone has found a fix for the xda exec crashing when a text is recieved. This does not happen to me often but it does happen and is quite annoying as the text is lost sometimes.
Also i find that sometimes when i leave my phone closed in clam shell mode overnight i wake up and open the phone but it seemed to be crashed. There was one night when my girlfriend sent me 3 txts during that night and she got delivery reports saying they were delivered,once i turnt my phone on in the morning it was frozen and i had to soft reset but didnt get any of her txts. Im now trialling to leave the phone on in standard pda mpde (screen facing out) overnight to see if it happens this way or not.
Michael
p.s: im using the standard rom that came with the phone
rom: 1.13.48
radio: 1.04.02
protocol: 42.37.P8
Yes the problem is very much there still. I have been using the Jasjar for almost 3 months now. During these 3 months this is my 2nd Jasjar and the problem is on both my units.
The chances of SMS freezing the Jasjar is more likely when the available RAM is below 17 MB. So what I am doing to reduces chances of this happening is to soft reset when the available RAM is below 18 MB. However this is still no gaurantee though it does reduce the chances of the Jasjar freezing upon receiving a text message.
This is a very annoying problem as this makes the whole thing so unreliable. You will never know that a text message has come through and caused your Jasjar to freeze till you need to use your phone again, and if during this period someone tries to contact you his call will not get through.
May I also mention that a few days back I also upgraded my Jasjar with the O2 ROM but the problem was still there. Furthermore I am convinced that this problem is not being caused by any 3rd party software. I can say so with confidence because I have hard rest several times and found the problem to be there even when no third party software was installed.
My only hope is now a ROM upgrade which I heard is due in December. I this does not solve the problem at least for me I can say that I am quitting and the Nokia 9500 will be my next phone.

@mho,
which mode are you using. I had the SMS freezing problem with my JJ but with my Exec in Corporate mode I have not suffered this. However, I have noticed that since I downloaded the latest ROM from the O2 my Exec is less stable then with the original ROM!
i am using the corporate mode, its mroe stable than the basic mode but upon recieving ssm it still crashes.
i think im going to call o2 today and ask them to change my phone. I thinking of samsung sgh-i300 now.
such a shame cos i really like the exec, if i didnt need a reliable txt function so much i wouldnt really care about it.
When I tried the O2 ROM on my i-mate Jasjar I also opted for the corporate mode and this still did not solve the text message freeing problem. I therefore shifted back to the original i-mate Jasjar ROM
Regards
Did you guys have Pocket Informant or TCMP + ffdshow/ac3 codec pack installed by any chance?
My SMS was perfectly fine until yesterday I installed the above, and upon receiving an SMS my exec (corp) hung...
Hard resetting now...

I have TCMP installed and running on the original corporate ROM and NEVER had the crash upon receiving SMS.
When I had my JJ I did get the freezing problem with receipt of a SMS - but I was also using Pocket Informant. On my Exec on Corp mode I don't use Pocket Informant but use Agenda Fusion and have never suffered the SMS issue. Looks like it could be a third-party app (I also may have used a Today screen plug-in on my JJ, which I don't use anymore) causing the SMS problem.
OK this is starting to peeve me..... hard reset, didn't install TCMP, only installed PI trial and SMS hang issue is back...argh!
no, i had no 3rd party apps and it still hung. I think someelse also didnt have any 3rd party apps and had this problem too.
thx mho... I'll test it out for a day or two more and if it still hangs I'm calling O2. I have a suspicion that it's an issue to do with the memory leaks, probably due to filehandles not being closed when accessing an SD card with LOTS of files in it.
Happening again after being ok for 2 days... calling O2 today...
Yes it is true... I am having same prob too... Even after hardreset without any 3rd party applications, after a while after softreset, my phone does freeze... Some time I am not even able to read the message.
Not sure how scientific this is - but I had the 'crash on SMS' quite a bit in the first week or so of using my Exec.
The first time it happened, I thought it might be to do with insufficient resources, so I regularly closed down background tasks and did occasional soft-resets to 'clean it up'. This didn't seem to make much difference.
HOWEVER, this week I've basically just made sure POutlook is actually running at all times, and I've not had a single problem.
When I fancy the old 'close all tasks' if I've got a load of apps running in the background - I just follow it with a swift press of the "envelope" button.
It SEEMS to be working!

Except I spoke too soon. Graaagh. :evil:
Came back to a flashing orange LED, opened up to see, and the thing had frozen.
doh! :evil:
I had the SMS freeze problem with my JJ now I only have it with email download over GPRS. Unfortunately a lot of Universal fans here don't think there are any problems with the Universal while the rest of us are trying to find workarounds. A bit annoying really.
It must be from the service provider, because someone already tested it after a hard reset with nothing installed and still getting these SMS freezes. It could also be the phone. It is hard to pinpoint because I don't see any Cingular-USA complaining of SMS freezing. As most Universal users are in the UK.
If it's any consolation.....happens to me once in a while too.....don't think it could be the network.....but maybe some O2 files??
no freeze but SMS just not received
see my post - only receiving some SMS - this is related to an XDA 2i
on O2 network
the more I trail this forum for SMS issues the more I am concerned that this is a serious bug with the phone.
I have done extensive troubleshooting on this and can confirm that it is a) not related to any loaded SW or backup, b) happening on nearly all XDA derivates to some extend, C) is mainly related to the unit trying to "wake up" (which is normal for SMS receive). Pattern seems to be that combined with a weak signal the XDA wakes up, looses network, re-aquires but the receive failed. The confirmation that the message was received is however already deliverd as the XDA woke up. I can re-create this behaviour at will now. If you send two messages within a short time frame the Second message only will be received. So it is definitely related to the unit waking up.
My XDA was with O2 for repair twice and no change in behaviour. they have agreed to exchange - but see above - form the posts here I think that it is a general problem with the unit
A little background: I have the 2.17 ROM, never had any problems with it.
I have a strange thing going on with my End key ... I am the type of user who uses the End key frequently to return to the Today screen ... been doing it ever since I got the phone with no problems. In the last week, however, I've noticed quite a bit of lag when I use the end key to get to the today screen (used to be < 1 sec, now it's 3+ sec). The interesting part is that when it does finally get to the today screen, the phone let's out a soft beep, similar to the beep you get when the phone drops a call or the other party hangs up on you.
Kinda annoying and I would like to fix it if possible (the lag, the beep is no big deal but probably a good indication of what the problem is). Any thoughts?
Thanks!

No one? This is still bugging me...
This, unfortunately, is "normal". The beeping has always been there on mine... and the lag builds up over time as you install more stuff and have more programmes chewing away at the processor and free RAM.
Solution?: Hard reset, uninstall stuff you dont need, etc...
Hi all
I have had the HD for 4 months or so with no real problems other than the usual to expect.
However I had to do a master reset two days ago and have since lost the use of video calling from the handset.
I have narrowed it down to when I was re-patching the phone with the HTC patch for the sliding key which when installed seems to lose this from the phone and also you lose the video calling button from the phone screen which is overlayed with Call His...
Strange.....I had the patch on before this reset with no probs at all.
Anybody else experienced this?
Orange branded phone and all standard rom.
Other than that a great phone
Confirmed it's the hotfix for the sliding thingy from htc which caused the problem. HTC replied my mail. Darn.. have to hard reset to get that video call function back. Looking for apps to backup my SMS...
Strange how the patch may have changed?.....I had it on the phone with no probs since it`s release and then re-patched and the porblem arose.
I use powersms...very good for backing up messages
Hi All,
I am using LG G2 international version from past 20 days. From the day one, I have one problem with this phone and unfortunately I am unable to re-produce the same with exact steps. My phone is not responsive sometimes, stuck, and getting re-started. It happened so many time and I could see at least 5 to 10 times in a day. I am basic user, just using few apps like facebook, subway surfers, fruit ninja, Skype, temple run, flipboard, swiftkey, whatsapp...The problem started even without installing these apps. Other than this problem, phone is working perfectly
Phone is not responsive when a received a call --- observed couple of times
Subway Surfers - while playing the game, phone stuck and restarted - observed two times
Just moving between screens and going to thru settings, etc, stuck & restarted -- observed many times
When I complete sending message (normal messenger) and clicking back button / After completing call and returning back --- stuck and restart --- observed many times
Some times, re-start it self happens twice. I am fed up with this phone, really disappointed to see a phone worth of 35 K INR behaves like this. Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce the issue, but it is happening very frequently.
I have tried removing lock screen and turning of animation scale off - no use
the seller who sold me this phone (flipkart) is not willing to replace this device and I don't have time to go to service center to fix the problem as I have traveling to US this weekend.
If any one you are facing similar problem and if there is any fix, pls help.

Siva
Good morning everybody,
I'm experiencing a lot of issues with this phone coming from an htc m8, first of all the phone connection when I am calling someone is hang up without any reason.
Second that is a lot more anoying is apps are freezing all the time especially emails view without any consistancy. Sometimes it freeze for 8 sec sometimes it's just a sec but it just makes me regrets a lot my m8.
Does the app smart manager has something to do with this issue, it looks like it is happening since I have activated it ?
