Hello everyone and specially those who are suffering from the SMS freeze problem.

I think I have solved the SMS freeze problem. I have tested my system for over a week now and in this process sent to myself more than 100 text messages and all have gone through (though I am broke to pay for all these text messages). I have carried out tests under low and normal memory conditions because my experience was that when memory conditions are low there is a high probability of a text message causing freeze problems.

The following is my set up now:-

1) Self start up of active sync is disabled by defining a fake server and configuring it not to update automatically

2) As mentioned in this thread I have now the messaging icon on my today screen

3) I have SPB Pocket Plus installed which I use as my task switcher but I have in the exception list included messaging application never to close. So messaging application is always running in the background

4) I have installed PocketMax PhoneAlarm and given control to PhoneAlarm to run the my selected sound file on receipt of a SMS. The WM5 default system no longer handles sound files when I receive an SMS but rather this control is now with PhoneAlarm

I thought to post this for benefit of all those who are experiencing the SMS freeze problem. If you choose to make these changes I shall be obliged to learn your experiences as to how the text messages behave.

I cannot confidently say which of the four steps mentioned above have made the maximum contribution to resolve the issue but it is my feeling that PhoneAlarm and the sticking of Messaging Icon on the today screen has really helped.

Regarding PhoneAlarm I would like to mention that the commercial version yet available is 1.27 which is NOT WM5 compatible. However version 1.30 which is WM5 compatible is currently under development (Alpha 12 at the time of writing this note). I have been following this since Alpha-8 and have Alpha-10 installed on my Jasjar to which I am referring to. PhoneAlarm is a Profile Management program with added functionality to give you repeating alarms for text messages, missed calls, MMS, e-mails, etc but not your calendar events and to-do-list.

My today screen includes a)PhoneAlarm b)Hudson Mobile IP Dashboard c)Hudson Mobile Phone Dashboard d)Messaging e)SPB Pocket Plus but with Memory Card information disabled.

My phone is an i-mate Jasjar running ROM Version 1.13.53 WWE and Extended ROM 1.13.137 WWE and Radio Version 1.03.01. The ROM date is 23rd Sepember 2005

Kind Regards and Good Luck

srmz,

Did you try the above also with AS working normally? (option1)

Very curiuos if AS is the killer here,

Huib
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] srmz:
Okay I will remove the fake server defined so that active sync starts up normally at its defined schedule and then see the effect. Though I don't think this is to have aný effect. I am saying so because before I installed PhoneAlarm and put the messaging icon on my today screen, I had already restricted self start up of active sync and this was not able to resolve the SMS freezing. Anyway worth a try and I will report back.

In the meantime since I made the above changes my system has become "Boringly" stable. Not a single crash. Now I usually reset after 72 hours to recover my lost RAM and nothing else.

Kind Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vo1968:
thanks for info, my exec was freezing when messages came in, 2 days ago i put the message icon back on to the today screen & everything is brilliant.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gaspx:
Just started getting this problem on my Exec.. caught it twice today hearing just the start of the notify wav, and sure enough, it had died.

The only thing i've changed is upgrading to the latest O2 ROM, and further upgrading the Radio to 1.04.10.. nothing much ;) - one bonus is that BT disconnection problems appear to be fixed, but now I have something to take its place.. ahh, these devices are great :)

I've just re-added the default Today screen messages plugin, so we'll see how that goes. So far so good.. I turned the device off via Magic Button, and sent a text (you get 10 free from O2's website btw) and it woke up fine.

Time will tell... :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] herpi:
Both Messaging and Agile do not hang any more. Bravo!

I put both Messaging and Agile in the today screen a week ago and no more hanging at all.

I don't use too many Today items any more, exept for Resco and Pocketweather and the standard calendar.

I keep Messaing "alive" using Magic button.

I tested both with Jasjar off or on.

SBSH PocketBreeze I do not use any more. I am not sure if it had anything to do with this hanging but Resco and Magic button do most of my jobs.

Happier than ever, because I am a heavy MSN user and Agile does a very good job and..... so far it is free.

Huib
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gaspx:
Just an update.. I re-enabled the standard Messaging plugin on the today screen and it has been fine since. I haven't changed any settings apart from that and I also use Resco Today Plugin / Pocketbreeze / Magic Button and its all working very nicely! :)

High maintenance these things, but when it works, it works well!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] herpi:
That's good news. I had however some problems with the today screen using Pocketbreeze. At a certain moment nothing appeared any more in the today screen. I Uninstalled Pocketbreeze and now everything is fine.

As this is off topic I will see at their forum.

So far we can pinpoint the problem to something simple as having messaging in the today screen?

Now I am curious if this also accounts for Agile To-Today-or-not?

Huib
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jlingo:
WOW!! That's amazing hehe, I have been struggling with my Dopod 900, stressed out, replaced to a new Dopod 900 still crashed.

So All I have to do is to actually go Start - Settings - Today - choose Items Tab, and then checked the Messaging Box?

Am I right?

I will test it now. This is amazing, I have done hard reset 5 times, uninstalled different softwares, reinstalled, SDCard switching From 1Gb to 512Mb , until I read this page. Unbelievable.! I hope this works.

I thought I was alone, I have been soo sad.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] srmz:
Yes jlingo, that's exactly what you need to do to put up the messaging icon in the today screen.

Now we will await your experience after some use, say a week, if this has worked for you to get rid of the text message freezing problem. For me it definitely has.

Good luck, happy testiing and Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jlingo:
It has been overnight and it's so far soo good. no crashing. I wonder if this is a common bug with all HTC Universal? Or it's just us the unlucky ones?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jlingo:
20 sms since this morning and it's still up and running wohooo!!

I also feel that there is a performance increase, no more lagging ever since the messaging icon is in Today Plug-ins.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] herpi:
So also no more need for keeping the messaging program alive in the background I think.

Just in the Today screen.

Fascinating for me is the fact that in my case it also counts for Agile. After having Agile messenger in the Today screen even that did not crash any more.

Huib
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] srmz:
@jlingo

Personally I think that the text freezing problem is there with all Universals but why so few people have reported it, could be because most of the Universal users are probably keeping the messaging icon in the today screen since they started using their machines.

This is just a thought and maybe through this thread we can request all users who have never faced this text freezing problem to comment if from day-1 they have had the messaging icon on the today screen.

And taking liberty I also request users who had their messaging icon on the today screen from day-1 to remove it and see if their machines suffer the freezing problem. This will be a great help for confirming our findings though I understand that this is probably an overstretched request.

Kind Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jlingo:
I agree completely with you srmz.

I could conclude that the problem has finally been solved after using the whole full day without crashes.

Nope, I'm not facing any problem with sms without the messaging icon on the Today screen

I'm using the QTEK9000 and I feel that the messaging icon on my keyboard is good enough. NO need for duplication.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theNexusUser:
I just bought an aluminum red bumper for my Note 3, and to be honest it is pretty nice. I got for $5 from China. It gives you the same feel as the HTC One, which I really like. The only problem which I have with this bumper is that it let's the back facing 13 megapixel camera touch the surface, if the phone is placed faced down.

Now my question is, to what extent could keep resting the phone on its back without scratching the camera lens or bezel?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SgtGoldy:
To the same extent as a naked phone. To be honest just keep it in your pocket. Worst case scenario lay it on a soft(er) surface.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail_flicker:
In the past with cases that offer no camera protection I made a point of placing my phone camera up when laying it down anywhere. The front edge of the case usually protects the screen well by providing a lip so I'm not worried about the screen. YMMV

My current case is just such a case. I won't have it long. I prefer a nice front bumper and camera protection.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacobloveskindles:
Each ROM post 4.1.2 that I've used (4.2+) has been laggy to the point where its unusable. I am currently using TWA

Privs cm9 ICS. On the newer Roms I always wipe system,cache,dalvik cache, and data. I am just wondering why are

Newer Roms laggy?is there a workaround? (By laggy I mean browser randomly closing,taking a long time to do anything

And other things that brings my kindle to the point where its unusable) ( my kindle isn't my main device as I have

A nexus 7 2013 that I'm typing on right now but I need my kindle to be usuable) has anyone experienced this same

Stuff?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenihilist:
You're not alone in these issues. I've bounced from rom to rom looking for the one that compromises the least. Cm9 roms suffer from lack of deep sleep. Cm10 from browser crashes and lag.

Maybe 4.4 is the answer?

Also, the cm9 you referenced, does it deep sleep? I don't think I tried that one.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebtorres82:
I have Jellybean 4.3.1 and it doesn't lag in mayor way. It only does when multitasking since it doesn't have so much RAM. I also use Greenify to check for background processes and I try to use low intensive apps. But I think that KitKat can solve many of this problems since it supports low RAM devices. :)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacobloveskindles:
I doubt it has deep sleep but I haven't charged it in a few days and it wasn't full when I put it down and its still at 50 plus percent....keep in mind I know this just because I check it every few days (don't use it much) and its TWA privs cm9.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacobloveskindles:
Yea. Can't wait till kitkat so I can finally move from cm9.also,I am even considering downgrading to cm7 but I'm not because no app support. Dang amazon only putting in 512mbs ram after 1 gig is standard in mobile devices.(512 wasn't enough for most things when ICS came out,amazon really cheaped out.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] gina$zanboti:
So apparently there's been a big stink about DTS support and it's a hassle coupled with a headache to get working. Anyone know a quick guarantied way to get video files with DTS audio working?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Mr_Armageddon:
Dice Player is the only one that I have found to really support DTS Audio files. It also has nice features like a video pop out window similar to the stock video player.

EDIT:

Looks like Archos Player does it as well.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.archos.mediacenter.videofree

If you grab the free codec pack it plays everything I throw at it including DTS, AC3, etc.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.m4rk3t.libcopy2

As an added bonus, the Archos Player pulls in meta data for movies and tv shows on your device. Pretty slick, just purchased the "Pro" version after playing with it for just a few minutes, and it looks to become my new default video player.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Mr_Armageddon:
After playing various media files of multiple different codecs via my networked media server... I now say forget about Dice Player, and go with Archos. Can't do cool stuff like pop out video, but it plays EVERYTHING (if the codec pack is installed)!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] madsquabbles:
i bought to archos pro the day it came out. i loved the player on my 101it and couldn't wait for a version to come out for other tablets. that free codec is just icing on the cake.

it's like combining mizzu and the old bs player into one. there haven't been many movies that it can't play. i've even put it on my daughter's memopad hd7. none of the other players can handle the files as well as the free archos (she didn't get the pro version).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] gina$zanboti:
Thanks guys. Archos did indeed work out very well. The video is a little big grainier than it is on MX Player but having sound is a very nice trade off imo :D

Is there any other reason to buy the pro version besides it being ad-free?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] madsquabbles:
i haven't noticed problems with the free version, but i haven't used my daughter's tablet a lot and she hasn't complained about any problems.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Duly.noted:
MX player can play dts audio i believe. You have movies downloaded that play without sound right? Go into mx players settings and under decoder set everything to hw+ After that It should start playing them no problem. If that doesn't work here is a quick quide on how to install DTS codec into MX player

http://techcentralz.com/how-to-install-dts-codec-to-mx-player-for-android-os/
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] Fanaticalism:
Will need a custom decoder which can be downloaded from the play store. For mx player it is the arm v neon... but like the poster above me mentioned, mx player will play anything you can throw at it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] boxofpandora:
I had the same problem. After trying several apps, i found the solution with vlc.

VLC for Android Beta. (As a new user I can't post links outside... :laugh: , so you have to look for in in the Playstore)

Currently it's even my favorite video player. Good luck. :good:
