This exact issues cause me not to receive anymore SMS text and 0 free memory.
http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/128509#128509
I am experiencing the same issue posted over at androidforums.com. Today I had to take my phone back due to 0 amount of memory left on the device and no SMS or voicemails being received on the device. This along with the sleep issue is unacceptable and I have no clue how Sprint and HTC released devices with such obvious flaws. I was fiving Sprint and HTC another chance after my 6 month disaster of the HTC Touch Pro. Over that time I exchanged it 5 time due to the keyboard failing.
Here is the EXACT same issue I am experiencing: CLICK ME! or read below.
ROM Memory Leak Filling Up Internal Memory
Issue:
Over time, Internal Memory free space dwindles and no amount of clearing apps frees the space. This will also cause the above issue of SMS & Voicemail messages not being received once a critical amount of free space is reached.
During the past few weeks my my Hero has been exhibiting signs of a ROM memory leak. It led to not being able to receive SMS messages even after hard resetting the phone. See these threads for that issue:
HTC Working on critical SMS/Voicemail issue
Intermittent Text Message Receiving - Deals more with intermittent issue, but has some fatal sms isuues in it too.
MMS/SMS stopped working after out of space error?!?
It appears a leak is being caused when rebooting (or turning off bluetooth) the phone when the phone is in a "connecting" status with bluetooth device. Basically the phone stays in a "connecting" status when it fails to connect, even though the notification in the notification bar says it is connected and your bluetooth device says it is connected. In actuality it is not and all calls and audio will be routed to your phone not bluetooth device. If you restart or turn off bluetooth while your phone with a "connecting" status active I have found when you reboot it will eat away at your ROM memory(not RAM). You may not ever notice the bluetooth connection failure if you don't get a call while when it should be active. The "connecting" status does not clear unless you unless it manages to connect after a while which is rare (either does it within a few seconds or not at all) . I made a video of this behavior because not a lot of people have been experiencing or at least catching on to it with their usage patterns.
Edit: It appears that the leak actually occurs even if you turn bluetooth off while the phone is in connecting status so a reset is not necessary for the leak to occur. This basically renders bluetooth use unusable as there is no way I can think of to avoid a leak if it gets stuck with the "connecting" status.
Sorry for the video orientation.

I just returned my first hero today and set up everything all over again. i use bluetooth a lot on the phone, about 4 hrs a day, and would stop getting sms messages. the problem was fixed with a soft reset until recently, which they then told me to get a new one. i guess i will try to deal without using bluetooth for a while and see if any new info comes up or if i get the problem again.
this same thing happened to me too, wish I would have seen this earlier. I was having some BT issues so everything would connect and then disconnect.. so I had to get a new phone too
Can't wait for a patch!
The bluetooth issue isn't settling with me well. I used to use bluetooth daily, now I can't. Htc needs go adress this problem soon....
I have noticed this problem over the past couple of days. If I am sending a message and at the same time someone is calling me I get a "message not sent" error and the phone never rings or nothing, as if no one was calling me.
This has been happening way too frequently for men and I tested it happens every single time no matter if I'm on 3G,4G or Wifi and on 2 Evos.
Am I the only one?
i think froyo is really buggy, as soon installed the froyo 2.2 fix from htc ive been having problems, when i send or receive a text it either does what you describe or if im tethering, it causes a connection timed out error, and i cant seem to use hotspot over 4g at all, im close to just doing another hard reset to see if it fixes the issue

Froyo huh? To be honest I don't remember having this problem on 2.1
I looked everywhere for this problem didn't find a topic so here it goes.
I LOVE this phone however I'm having a problem; text input disappearing or not showing up at all when trying to enter information. When this happens calls don't go out and I can't do anything network related. I've tried to type things into to other places as well to no avail. The only hope is resetting it everytime, and it can remain working correctly for 5 min or 5 hours, until it freezes again. I'm stock with the latest update, also running widgetlocker and launcher pro with various other minor apps. Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix? thanks
Still happening, I guess no one else has this issue?
I second you. I have the problem as well when text disappears suddenly as im inputting, and I can't see what I type, until I click send. This happens especially while I am on the Skype app. The only way to get it to work is to leave the conversation and step back into it.
Are you having the issue all over or certain programs?
All over. Can't send a text or call out. Other programs work just fine, but anything that needs inputted text doesn't work
I am a sys admin and get automated system alerts to my phone, sometimes i get flooded with what i like to call "sms storms" where i get a lot of (think 20-50) sms alerts at once.
This causes my phone, running streakdroid 1.9.1 on AT&T, to completely lag to the point where the phone is practically unusable. Think 10+ second input lag.
I've had this problem will all versions of streakdroid since I started using it around 1.6. With the recent hurricane/tropical storm it turned into a huge issue as my phone was unusable for over an hour as i kept getting text after text.
I've never run a stock rom since i got the phone so I don't know if that would work.
Also whenever I'm receiving an SMS my data connection stops working. IE If i'm surfing the web, downloading a file, or on facebook my data connection will drop completely while i'm receiving the sms.
I've done numerous resets including starting from factory rom and immediately flashing to streakdroid.
I have a Canadian Rogers Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900W8) running the latest software update (as of last night).
Any time I dial someone's number, there is a full 10 to 15 seconds delay/lag before the phone 'reacts' and starts to actually make the call. This lag/delay happens regardless if I am:
using speed dial (though it is especially obvious then)
manually dialling a number
sliding to the right on a person's contact (quick dial)
pressing and holding on a contact's number to dial
I've tried adjusting the Google Sync settings, turning on/off the "Sync People details" as well as my Samsung account's "Sync contacts". I've disabled Facebook/Linked In "Sync Contacts", based on my theory that there was some sort of hiccup being caused by these apps' attempts to pull data on the contact immediately upon me placing the call.
The other issue is that Contact photos/names are also severely delayed when receiving an incoming call, for example when my phone starts ringing, all that I can see is their phone number at the top of the screen (almost as if it's the 'raw' cellular data), and not their name or picture (as normally would immediately appear on say my Galaxy S 3).
I've searched all over but have yet to see this issue pop up. This seems really strange. Any ideas or solutions?? Thanks!
Edit: I tried a second battery pull and hard restart and this seems to have fixed the issue for now. Weird!
If it's any consolation, it's not just your Rogers Note 3. I'm having the same issue with the Note 3 made for T-Mobile USA. I'm going to try the battery pull like you suggested and see if that resolves the issue, as well as some alternate dialers. I'll post my luck once I've tried this.

I have found this problem (delay dialing) for 2 weeks.
When I connect to internet, by wifi or mobile data, it is corrected. But whenever the internet connection is disconnected , it apears.
I'm disappointed from Note 3 because of lots of bugs that has got especially after update to kitkat
-delay dialing
-not working any auto call recording app.
-not working properly it's sensors.
And etc
Same bug here. 4.2.1. Phone was fine, never used to do it. randomly started doing this around the same time as I started getting multiple duplicate sms messages. Dialing delay goes away when wifi is on.
Very annoying. I'm open to suggestions!

At least 150MB of phone memory should be free..
Else, it'll lag..
I removed a few apps and now am having 200MB of free space on my Phone Memory (internal), and there are no lags..
Phone is running smooth..

Thanks for your reply! I have 1.1gb RAM free pretty much all the time, 1.18GB ROM free, and 20.99GB internal SD free.
Not sure this is the problem.
I got the same problem and i realized after i read this post that it doesnt happen if im connected with wifi. There should be a way to fix this, its a 500euro phone there shouldnt be such problems...
Had the same problem with a Samsung Relay, after a few updates. Had a chat with Samsung, after a hard cache clearing left me with the option to factory reset. Which I'm not very interested in. Uninstalled a lot of applications, then by chance connected to the wifi and sent an email. After that, it seems to be working now.
Didn't fix the problem for more than a few hours. Actually I believe hooking on wi-fi did it, because I connecting again this morning solved the problem again.
I installed a firewall and denied permission for all apps, let's see if this works...
No, the firewall doesn't work.
After connecting on wireless it works for about 3-4 hours. Then again bull**** happens. Don't know why, but this relation is interesting. There is no actual traffic sent form the device, since the firewall blocks a lot of the system bull**** apps from communicating, but after enabling it it works.
I see that enabling wireless even for a short while (3sec) is enough to get it back on track. Why might this be so?...
Prey
Factory reset, reinstall everything, then encryption. 4 hours. Tested during the procedure to see if it dials fast. It dialed, until the end, when it started to have the same problem again.
Then I got the wonderful idea from above to check if there is something wrong with Prey. A software to block your phone if it's stolen. And guess what, as long as it's not connected to the Internet, it hangs and won't open. Maybe this was creating the problem? Don't know, but for now I uninstalled it and it seems to be working. I remember it did an update before the problem occurred, maybe the update is the problem? Will write again if the problems persists.

Seems I'm having the same issue on two of my Prey-enabled devices (HTC One X+ and HTC One X) after upgrading to latest version. Happens with Data-off.
