[Q] Text messages regularly disappear - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
So ever since I got my Xperia Z, pretty much everyday at least once, all my text messages will not appear in the messaging app (including third party messaging apps). If I turn my phone off and on again they will appear and I can carry on messaging. I thought maybe an update would cure the issue however it is happening more often than before and I get the display "Tap to write a message" (or something) within the main screen for messaging, as if the phone has lost the messages.
Is this an issue that someone else has come across?
Regards.

Email Notifications

Hello guys,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I did a google search and couldfind anything like my problem below.
On my TITN II, email notifications work only if "Messaging" (the email application) is not the active task. This is fine, but in many ocasions I receive an email, read it, and leave messaging open. What happens is that then a new email comes in and I do not get the notifications.
Not a big deal, but it's kind of annoying, as it requires a discipline to always close messaging, that I don't have.
I wonder if there's any trick or hack I can do to be always notified when a new email comes in, regardless whether messaging is open or not.
Thanks,
Luis

Anyone else having sms display problems?

I will FREQUENTLY get a notification of a new text message, it will read the first few lines in the notification bar, and display in my text message widget, but when I go to my inbox there is no sign of that text message at all.
I've used handcent
I've booted handcent
Used stock
Used Message Widget by Till esser
And all sorts of ****.
Wiped/factory data reset
Took apps off my sd/cleared the partition
It's been happening for about two weeks or more and it's bull****.
Any advice?

I had the same problems, so I just switched back to stock sms.
this happened to me a while back, except mine would crash every time i open the messaging app. I simply did a factory reset, and it started working again.
This also happens to me now and then for no apparent reason, and then will stop and work correctly for a long period of time. I really have no ideas.
It happened to me when I was on JACxHeroSki v1.5 ROM and I also had an automatic task killer running in background. I uninstalled task killer and the problem went away.
As a complement, you could install Handcent and activate the "Auto retieve" and "Self check" options, that's how I'm working now and I haven't had any problems. Currently, I'm running the latest MghtyMax ROM and it completely solved that issue and other ones like the "3-ring" delay on incoming calls and the blinking LED.
Hope that helps.
EDIT: also (on Handcent) enable the "pop-up window" option when a text arrives. At least, it will give you the option to read and reply the message instantly if your texts are still getting lost. You could also install a "SMStoEmail" application, look for it on the Market.

Google Voice - troubles returning to inbox?

Hi all,
First, I did search and didn't spot an answer or similar thread (so I'll feel really silly when someone points me to it...)
I've got a stock VZW 3G Xoom and I'm using Google Voice almost exclusively for texting now. In fact, it works so well I gave my Nexus 1 to my father-in-law and switched to a basic phone. But, the only complaint/issue I have is that it's sometimes difficult or even impossible to access the inbox. I regularly find that if I'm in a text thread and hit the back button, to return to the inbox where all discussions are shown, it will often only refresh the screen and I remain in the individual thread. Sometimes, going "home" and then touching the GV icon will take me to the inbox but sometimes even this doesn't resolve the issue. And, today, I experienced something new - every time I hit back to get to the inbox, from within a thread, it deleted the previous text. In other words, each time I hit back the text message (whether sent or received) disappeared from the thread starting at the bottom and working up. My only fix here was to force stop it.
Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, have you found a solution to return you to the inbox?
Thanks for any help,
Ross
Mine does the same thing. While annoying, my inbox sometimes takes what seems like forever to refresh incoming messages.
I'm working with a wifi Xoom, 3.2.
Sorry, all, I had never experienced this before on my Nexus One so I thought it might be a Xoom or Honeycomb issue. But, I did some deeper (broader) digging and found that it's a known GV behavior. This explanation was helpful:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/etnha/google_voice_users_when_you_hit_your_back_button/
Basically, it seems that when I click on a notification bar text message notice I'm not in the full GV app. So, if what I read elsewhere is correct, if I view 10 text messages through the notification bar icon I'd have to hit the back button 10 times to get to the main app and the inbox. This would explain the erratic behavior I've seen, as sometimes I use the notification icon and sometimes I use the app shortcut. Not great design, but at least it doesn't appear to be a Xoom-specific issue.
What apk did you use to get it?
grab the apk from your android phone that gets it from the market
i have never experienced this issue
i am on wifi 3.2 rooted stock

[Q] Xperia Z keyboard not responding in Whatsapp & LINE

Hi! All. My Xperia Z's keyboard is having this issue where when i go into Whatsapp to reply to a conversation, the keyboard does not respond to what i type. nothing shows up. I have to tap back button then re-enter into the conversation in order for the keyboard to work. This always happens when i receive a notification & i want to reply but does not happen when i want to send a message in Whatsapp. I notice that another app called LINE is randomly having this issue too. so far the SMS app is not giving any issues. Anyone knows how i can fix it cause its very annoying. BTW, my set is rooted on 101.A.1.434. I've checked with a few fellow users all do not have such an issue.

[Q] Have to split long messages to send?

So today I was texting and realized that I now have to select the "split long messages" box on the texting app that I've always been using, textra, to send long text messages. Now the person I am in a conversation with receives more that one messages depending on how long the message is instead of just receiving one long message. Since I started using the note 4 I never had to do this and I appreciated it so much because my last phone made me do that to send messages period. Splitting messages just annoys me and I'm wondering why now I all of a sudden have to do that. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening or how to fix it? I did revert back to the original messaging app but it was doing the same thing, I also barely used the original messaging app because I downloaded textra as soon as I began using the N4.
