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

Hey yesterday i noticed a major issue. I was sending quite a few texts and in turn receiving quite a lot back. However after receiving about the 1st four messages they no longer began show up and my tone didn't go off. The only reason i noticed that something wasn't right is because the screen lit up and when i went to inbox there sure enough was an unread message- even though the screen never displayed a new message!!!
Today I'm still experiencing the problem...along with an obviously related issue. Ocassionally when i click on messaging it simply won't open and i find myself soft resetting the phone or turning it off and back on.
Obviously this is a major problem for me!...Please help me! Everything else is fine!
Oh and sometimes the phone randomly wakes up :/
bump!
i got the EXACT same problem, it is so annoying..
it shows no number of unread messages at the enveloppe on the today screen, however when you go in the message boxes there clearly are some unread messages, both e-mails and text messages..
is there ANY way to fix this? it's so incredibily annoying!
Have any of you tried removing some old messages?
I know I had some trouble with messages opening slow, but when I deleted a bunch of messages (and emptied the "deleted" folder), it worked great.
tried that just now with no luck, works on no other panel either..
I deleted my messages too and also uninstalled xperiatweak as ive heard this can cause problems...i havent yet had a chance to check the progress but as for the messaging tab opening up i dont seem to get that issue anymore *touch wood*. I
have noticed however that i get the occassional overload of device.exe errors and i mean overload...once one pops up about at least another 5 do! Even if i press send report or don't send report...it happens. I end up pressing the panel key :/ There are some definate bugs that need sorting.
Actually still no luck with xperiatweak gone...i got quite a series of device.exe errors and then after they'd gone i went to click on messaging and once again nothing happened...nor would contacts show! i think i may need to hard reset the phone!
megh i'd hate having to do a hardreset, don't want to lose my installed appz and having to install plus configure them again >_<
ive just done a hard reset...which i agree is a pain! But wow i forgot how fast the xperia is...i think im going to keep which apps i install to minimum and only install what i need. Obviously the error has been picked up from somewhere... What apps did you previously install? Maybe we have something in common?
torch button, mplaylist manager, neoFTP, pocket scrobbler, remote touch, skype, total commander, xchange r8, youtube panel, google panel, windows live panel... oh yea and tomtom7..
probably some stuff i left out due to them already being uninstalled.. maybe they left some traces in register i dunno..
pardon my french but f*ck this, i just did a hard reset too, will install the english rom too.. stupid dutch windows mobile.. (i know it's not the languages fault but it's an ugly language )
After hard reset...it has just happened again. I then thought it might be vistahide battery as come to think of it it didnt happen before that...been sending testers after getting rid of vistahide and everythin else ok. But i only have the new panels installed...no other add-ons now! So god knows!
Still experiencing this problem from time to time...very annoying! Hard resetted twice and no luck as such. It really is very annoying as i often miss messages if i don't see the screen wake-up Please...anyone know a solution or have this issue? Thanks
Bump .
Anyone?....
"zoelucker
Oh and sometimes the phone randomly wakes up :/"
noticed it happens whenever my mobile got a full bar 3G receptions... what about you guys?
Yes ive noticed a random wake-up and ive thought 'oh that must be another message with no sound grrr' then i look in messaging and no message...so wasn't that and was jus a random wake-up.
It is really starting to irritate me now and today my alarm didn't sound when it's been fine since i've got it! I wondered if the problem was connected? Do you think the new update (well not officially released yet)...the new rom or whatever would solve the problem? Please any light on this...the messaging one is my main problem because I can just set another alarm clock but for messaging...its what a phone should be able to do. Thanks.
Seems like there are few people who are experiencing this problem.
I have the same problem as you all are. I've tried emptying the message but no luck.
If hardresetting doesnt work, then the problem doesnt related to any kind of software we installed?
yea i hard reset twice so i know it doesnt
Its driving me mad now! Its the only issue i have with it and its a real shame because i love my X1 otherwise. Do you think the new FW will solve my problem?
I was receiving messages fine 20 mins ago and then 5 mins ago i got a random screen wake-up but thought it was a message that hadn't come through properly so i tried to go into messaging but it wouldn't open up....i tried everything. clicked it so many times. changed panels. nothing. in the end i had to soft reset the phone :S
Every once in a while for the past month or two, when I receive a call, my X10 will vibrate and ring as normal, but the screen will be blank rather than presenting the caller ID and call answer buttons. Sometimes when this happens, it'll eventually show up, while other times I simply get a FC message regarding the phone app.
In the time since I first experienced this, I have upgraded my stock 014 firmware to 016 through SEUS via Rogers, and then this past weekend I rooted the phone to R2BA023, and yet it still happens.
I have disabled both Facebook and Twitter sync in the settings panel, and have tried changing my ringtone all to no avail.
Has anyone else experienced something similar, and maybe know what may be causing this?
I'm going to attempt some testing with various 3rd-party apps uninstalled, to see if it may be some sort of conflict, but I find it odd this has persisted through firmware updates and complete OS re-install (root).
Hi - Yes I've had this happen too.. not very often, but seems to be when I'm in the middle of doing something else.. Think it was when I was in Handscent SMS when it happened today.
Same it happen to me, i just beat on it until it blink up the damn slide. Which 9 out of 10, i will miss the call thanks to the stupid slide still being as slow as before the update.
OT (so apologies)... my swipe is super fast since the update... Are you running any task killers or anything.. (I'm not...)..

I generally do, but it still pisses me off. I have a feeling it's just SE's version of the phone app, but I can't be sure.
I'm using Phonebook 2.0 as an alternate contact manager, but calls still come through the default phone app, and I'm not sure if there's a way to change that without a custom ROM.

Yeah have noticed this issue sometimes. I am on generic R2BA020 uk firmware.
When the phone rings, the screen lights up but I cant answer cause the screen is a Blank blue screen for like 5-8 seconds. After which the slider pops up allowing me to answer. Never had this problem on the older firmware.
I dont use a task killer or handcent.
So I have been having issues with my voice mail over the past week. Sometimes it would work sometimes it would tell me I didn't have a mailbox on the server.
Today I called t-mobile and they went through all their steps to fix it. My voice mail started working again but now anytime I have any notification icon pop-up (text message, email, missed call) my phone lags really bad and about every minute does some sort of weird half reboot. Screen goes black, has to reload lock screen and all widgets just like when the phone first boots. I was wondering if anyone else had seen or heard of anything like this.
I am on stock JI6 firmware, stock kernel, with the four lock-screen mod, and the circular battery mod. I have not had a problem with either mod for the three weeks I have been running them. T-Mobile rep told me to factory reset my phone which worked for about 10 minutes then gave me the same problem again.
Any help would be much appreciated, I don't really want to go through the process of flashing with odin and setting up my phone another time.
I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but a while back, I was playing around with my Kin Twom, putting in contacts and such, and I got a message, and deleted it straight without looking at it, but when I go to the home screen, it still says I have an unread message, and has been this way for about 2 or 3 weeks now. I haven't been able to find any information on why this happened or how to fix it, and this forum seems to be the best place to find info on Kin dev and such.
If you have any ideas that might fix this (without clearing the data preferably) then I give you my thanks in advance.
Sometimes i get a simular problem: text messages do not load. Ill click a conversation but just see an empty screen when I know i have messages. In this case i reboot the phone and it fixes it
I've rebooted it several times in the past few weeks I've had it, but it still says there is an unread message.
Thats odd
That sucks, man. Have your tried doing a soft reset? I think it requires a button combination but idk what it is since i never needed to do one.
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.
