Hey guys, thanks in advance for any help/suggestions
Currently rooted on verizon version but still running stock. Phone has had a number of random restarts (nothing specifically causes them, i just catch my phone restarting sometimes even when not doing anything). I have tried removing the gmail update that gave some the restart problem but still had a couple happen afterwards
Also having problems sending messages (sms, mms). Message either fails and i have to retry a little later or it will only go through if i restart my phone...
I kind of want to get it replaced but i really dont want a refurbished phone. Thoughts?
Random reboots are hardware issue. I snapped my phone out for new 1 last month and haven't had 1 reboot since.

Not really, or at least that's not always the case!!!
I bet the problem was caused by using the Gmail Lockscreen or Launcher widgets!!!
I've seen many many cases where the random reboots where caused by that bug on the Gmail widget!
I've reproduced it many times over just to prove friends of such issue.
Just avoid using the Gmail widget and problem will be gone!
Cheers!
To the OP: If you are running completely stock, then you have a defective phone. Replace it.

I've had an issue since day one where google voice will display an unable to send message error when trying to send a text. Hit send again, and the first attempt registers along with the second attempt, essentially sending two identical text messages. This behavior comes and goes in spurts, and when it happens it seems to occur with every other message I send. I've never had this problem on any previous android phone, I've tried uninstalling, clearing cache, fixing permissions, and still it returns. Anyone else have this problem? Or does my fascinate just hate me?

Mine does this too, I notice sometimes there will be no network activity on the 3G icon on the first try. It gets to be very annoying, but not annoying enough to pay Verizon 15 bucks a month
Its happened to me about half a dozen times. I just chalked it up to data hiccups. Now that you mention it, I never did get one if those hiccups with WinMo though.

This probably isn't Android at fault here. The google voice messaging always worked perfectly on my Droid 1. Ill bet it has something to do with crap sammy drivers. I am hoping this all gets resolved with 2.2
I have this same exact problem frequently. I wish someone could suggest a fix. Never, never happened on my incredible.
Annoying.
I should add that it has also done it since day one. And has not changed with any rom or kernel i flash.
Fascinate Voo Doo One Point Two
Sounds about right - hopefully 2.2 will solve our problem (along with everything else lol). As for winmo and google voice, that was one janky, hacked together experience. Onedialer when it worked, idialer for when it didn't, sending sms though outlook...those were the days.

Just an update to an old thread, but DJ05 seems to have solved this issue for the most part - it still happens, but very rarely.
I'm using Google Voice on my G1 and it has had trouble sending messages. Sometimes when I go to send it stays in an infinite sending loop. I've tried ending the process with ATK but it does nothing. This problem has occured across every rom I have tried (currently using emanthors new version) so I'm wondering if it's app related and not phone related.
I've had the same thing happen to me every once in awhile. I would just pull the battery and restart my phone, and then it would be working again. Not to sure what could be causing the problem. Probably a combination of both the ROM and app.
same here and rebooting or yanking the battery after 2-5 messages is a struggle lol
Any fixes for this

so i'm a new fascinate user and not even 1 month in, i noticed my phone randomly reboots. as days pass, it looks like it's getting a lot more frequent. i also noticed that when i tap or hit my phone little hard, it reboots? is this common? i'm not rooted yet(just waiting for the gingerbread) or done anything to my phone yet. just recently updated to 2.2.1 and installed a sd card but that couldn't be it right? also calls get dropped a lot.
please help
No this not common, exchange it for a new one
Yep...sounds like a hardware problem. Take it back and get a new one

yeah i did a factory reset and didn't install anything. left bare stock and still when i "slap" the phone down to my palm, it reboots.
thanks all
please close this thread
Might be the battery.

For an update that was supposedly only for fixing the missing December bug, I seem to have a lot of problems because of it.
First and foremost is a weird lag when turning on the screen. You can tell its on but it will remain blank for a few moments before anything shows unlike before where it was basically instantaneous.
Second and most annoying is a weird duplicate message thing with my SMS. I keep getting random duplicate messages from SMS' that I've received after the update. They come anywhere from 2 to 20 minutes apart. Also the lockscreen widget for messages only occasionally shows updates.
Last and could just be because it is a newer version, is that light flow stopped working.
Has anyone had any problems with the 4.2.1 update?
More importantly, what can I do about it?
Ota just showed up on mine i think iam gonna hold off for now till light flow is back on thx for the head up

I updated and have yet to run into any issues.
Sounds like your having a wake lock issue if the screen is staying blank when you power on your phone.
That's interesting, I also have the duplicate message issue with Voice through the native Messaging app. I assumed it was something else.

Try a factory reset and see if that fixes it

Yeah that sounds about right. I really don't understand where these issues are coming from. The phone worked perfectly before it.
The update fixed a few bugs, not just the December issue. I have updated my nexus 7 and my nexus 4 and I am not seeing any duplicate messages or any other problems either.
Perhaps this is because of another app.. I don't even think they updated the messenger at all from 4.2 to 4.2.1.

The only thing that has changed is the update to 4.2.1. I don't see how anything else could be the cause.
My phone is still stock, no custom rom, but it is rooted. I flashed a custom recovery and other than that haven't done anything to the phone that isn't official.
Okay, I thought the issues had tapered off. For what reason I have no idea, but I have no idea why they showed up anyways so it evens out.
But the duplicate message thing started up again.
If the 4.2.1 update is not to blame, what could cause repeat messages being received? If it is somehow the update, what could cause repeat messages being received?
Try a factory reset. Its always good to factory reset after updates no matter what. Find an app to save your data first.

Yeah my N4 was rock solid before 4.2.1..no reboots, glitches, bugs! Well now after 4.2.1 I've had several random reboots (one where I had to force it into the bootloader for it to start up) and this morning I had a weird graphical glitch where when rebooting the Google logo got stuck on the screen with some weird bands. It was like the google splash screen got stuck. I had to shut the screen off and turn it on and then it was fine.
I think I'm going to give a factory restore a try soon.
Year just factory reset. Its a habit for me because of the gs2. Always good to start fresh.

Is there a way to go back to 4.2? Not the 4.2.1?
I can't call anymore after updating to 4.2.1... there is no sound on outgoing calls. I can receive incoming calls however.
i've noticed that i sometimes get message failed to send message. this happens maybe 5 times a day i've had it far worse maybe 10 times in one day. I never had this problem on my galaxy s4 so i'm wondering if this is a SIM card problem? i am using the sim that came pre-installed too. I haven't moved out of the area im still using my phone in the same places as i usually do commuting to school and work. Has anyone had a problem with their message not sending? it's annoying
I have seen this with a number of our phones on WiFi over the years. Mostly with attachments, but not always. Normally if I turn off WiFi it will send. I have no idea what causes this bit we are a 6 phone house , 2 carriers, all different phone's. The only one that I have never seen do it us my wife's HTC. My old Nexus did it a lot. This phone, my g2 has done it a couple times with mms.

Same issue here. With regular texts. Several times a day. I end up restarting the phone and then it sends. Extremely annoying and it's only happening on this phone. Thought it might be a defective phone, but seeing you have the issue as well... maybe it's software related?

In my experience, it seems like it happens most often when I get a message as I'm sending one.
