Alright, I am throwing this here.
For some reason when I send a text, it takes 5-10 minutes for it to go out. I thought, well, maybe its the program, just not saying it sent it. But indeed, last night, I sent several texts to my wife, her phone next to mine. The first message I sent was received 5 minutes later. The second one, which I sent within a minute of the first, took 10 minutes. The third, again with in a matter of seconds, took 15 minutes. WTF, right? So I did some homework, and looked into this. I tried Handcent, no go. It must be with in the system itself and nothing related to the program.
Now on the reverse, it takes 15 seconds to receive a message.
I came on the web and did more homework, talk about account sync bogging down the phone, so I cleared that issue. Nope, still got lag. Reboot. Nope. Soft reboot, again, nope. Still lags. Problem with the ROM? Nope, I have seen this issue reported on a stock phone, here in the forums.
My option, as I see it, a factory reset. Please tell me I am wrong. On the plus side, I do a reset, and I take on Verizon's stupid update, and then push Clock and decrap.
Do it in clockwork not from inside android privacy menu. I definitely think its ur phone as I don't think anyone else has this issue. (At least I don't)

Now how do I safely back track to default? flash stock then unroot? do we have the stock programming on the forums?

I occasionally get something similiar. I'll send a text and it stays stuck on sending. Rebooting doesnt help. The only thing that ive found to somewhat fix it is to put the phone in airplane mode.

Indeedy do. Now what would that system have to do with airplane mode? Hmm, my connection is more active on the awakening from the airplane mode. If I send a message, I get it stuck in sending. 5 minutes usually. But it will say I sent it 5 minutes earlier. I froze the stock messenger, lol, 10 minutes.
But when I initially send, I can watch my connectivity to 4g kick, for a second, and then nothing. Surprisingly, even 5 minutes later, it won't budge. But when I kick it out of the airplane mode, it goes nuts communicating with the tower, and completing my last messenging task. There needs to be something that I did when I snagged the rooting, and rom downloads. This didn't happen to me before, and it has happened to no one, currently. So I could go back to stock see what happens, run wifi, and download the root, and rom again and see what happens after that.
Yeah exactly right. Flash stock unroot.

Oh well, I broke it pretty bad, so I downloaded everything to fix it. I went to IRC and waited for someone with a bigger brain than mine to come along. Much to my dismay it was Regn. But mt was not toI far behind. They got me going in the right direction, and Cube came on and sealed the deal. So far everything is working good. I do have one issue with handcent doubling my messages.I cleared out the default, so that doesn't pop up, but handcent is giving me doubles. Thanks again. And I did wreck my phone on purpose, I saw enough threads to know where I was going, just not enough head knowledge to get me all the way there. God bless you guys, even Reg !!lol.

I started getting the double received messages with handcent for some reason. I just recently had changed to gosms, and now use stock and no more doubles with either.

Ok, actually it's not random.
Exactly every 12 hours on the second (at 12 (PM) and 12 AM) a so called "toast" notification (the small grey pop up) tells me that GPS is turned off. The thing is, it's always off.
Anybody knows why this happens? It doesn't really bother me, but i'm really curious! Does the government track me (where's my tinfoil hat??) or is it simply a weird SW bug?
I don't have any strange or unpopular apps installed so it can't be spyware. Google told me nothing.
Any ideas? Thanks

OK so the weirdest thing happened just now. I was charging my atrix HD when I went on it to check a phone number. Then it started opening apps and going on xda then other apps. I had no control over it. I couldn't even turn it off. I had to do the power and volume down thing to shut off. It was very creepy. I was just looking for a minute while the person did what they did. It was like when a person from dell controls your computer if something isn't working right. At first I thought it was being laggy but no! It kept going settings were changed and the person tried playing music on it! I turned it off before he could but the wierdest part is that I had turned of my wifi and set my phone on airplane mode so it can charge faster. No communication what so ever. Right now its off and I plan to keep it that way until someone can tell me what to do to protect myself. Also this could have been happening before i went to go check my phone. Which was like 15 minutes before I checked it. Please help

That's what I'm thinking. A bad app. The likely hood of it being hacked are slim.

android is very hard to hack probably a virus delete data in cwm
Best thing to do is just wipe.
Easy way to do it is to go to Settings->Privacy->Factory Reset
It was probably a bad app.
Click thanks if I helped!

Another thing to be aware of is I've noticed Motorola's screens (at least on the Atrix models) are kind of finnicky. If there's a little bit of moisture around they just start registering touches on their own sometimes.
With my battery life being... less than ideal.. I find myself plugging into all kinds of chargers along my travels. Some non moto chargers make my phone go nuts, exactly like what was described - apps opening etc. Have experienced this several times. Feel the other explanations are possible of course but highly unlikely.

There was a story on the news recently that someone's iPhone was hacked by trying to charge at a public charging station. I would be weary of these charging stations.

Airport WiFi connections are VERY insecure. Basically they monitor everything that goes through. Text messages, calls, anything. Maybe they also have access to control phones?

I agree with above post non oem chargers can make the phone act funny especially the cheap dollar store chargers get an oem cable the you will know that it will work for charging and data.

I don't know if it's just my handset that has this issue. If it's an issue at all.
My GPS takes forever to find my actual location. Leaving central London yesterday on the M4 the GPS around 25 minutes to find where I was. It isn't really acceptable to be quite honest.
Is there an issue or is it a handset fault solely affecting me?

My GPS locates my position in a couple of seconds.
Have you tried the GPS Test on service menu?

Done. It took nearly an hour to find a signal. But it found one... I don't understand. If the hardware is working why isn't the signal being detected in a normal time frame.

Have you tried reflashing a stock rom. And see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, you probably have some tweak or module doing stuff to the gps.
If the problems still there it could be your carrier or a faulty device.
Flashed back already. Several times. I haven't got any tweaks or changes going on, the only reason I rooted was to rid myself of the bloat.
This is really annoying me, if I have got another crop handset off Sony I will definitely be going back to HTC phones.

Are you removing fast dormancy? For some carriers it's needed.
I think so. I have basically now gone down the route of stopping the phone cutting any process off for any reason. Still the issue persists though.

this is just a wild guess, but worth a shot.
try redownloading the stock rom, check md5 and be sure to make a clean install.
try download "FasterGPS" from playstore, to get the time from a ntp server near you, to avoid wrong time for the fix due to delay on a long travel from the ntp package
I found this app though a bunch of searching. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattprecious.notisync)
I think it is close to getting us to seeing notifications from any app on the gear. So, far with things set up the way I have them it only vibrates/rings when I get something. It could be that I don't have hangouts installed on my watch (didn't want the google apps...didn't see a need).
Could someone with the google apps (and possibly the status bar installed via Aroma) test this out and see if it gets us further?
Only other thread I could find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560308 It mentions battery life issues. I'll test these out tomorrow.
Overnight the watch went down to 87% battery. I may try again tonight without it justvto see.
I can choose to get notifications on my gear from all of my phone apps without this.
Am I not understanding something with this thread?
I think I'm a bit lost here too. I can get notifications from any app on my phone without this app.

I wouldn't say badly. I'm able to spend an entire day at Disneyland (about 16 hours) getting/checking notifications using this and still have enough battery power for the 1 1/2 hour ride home. Sure you would get better battery life without it - but you would also get no notifications (non-touchwiz) without it too.
