Messaging problem after ics

Since the ics update, if someone tries to send me a text message longer than 160 characters I only get the beginning of it. I've read that other people have this problem and tried the suggested solutions including a hard reset but I am still having the same problem. If anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks for your feedback, jayarecee.
We have sent the feedback to our team. Are you using any type of 3rd party applications for messaging.
We want to try to reproduce this and any information you have would help greatly.

Major problems after ICS on my Bionic

So I've had the Bionic since it was released and have never had any major problems with it. It wasn't until a few days ago when I woke up to a notice of the ICS update finally being available, so of course I pressed on Install now. I ended up going to sleep again and waking up later to a frozen screen. I did a battery pull since it was just frozen on the unlock screen, and after it booted up I was having issues with everything. Half of my icons were gone, neither of my text messaging apps worked and would force close randomly. I kept getting random reboots while just staring at my phone, sometimes many times in a row.
I ended up taking it to a couple different Verizon stores, the people at the first one told me they haven't heard of this problem nor did they know ICS was even out for Bionic yet, the second store was like "all you can do is FDR". After being hesitant on doing that since I didn't want to lose anything, I finally did it. After the restore, it hung on the "preparing system" screen for at least 2 hours before I finally did a forced restart. After that it decided to continue with everything...things were going okay for a little while, until I started to reinstall my apps. Then I started getting random reboots again, force closes on programs, and horrible battery life. I decided to give it a couple days to maybe settle in, and well, I thought it was better, but last night I started getting random reboots again and force closes on a lot of apps.
This is getting extremely irritating as I cannot use my phone much in fear of it crashing or rebooting itself. In the time it took me to type this, it has restarted 2-3 times, which is why I'm glad I have a laptop instead of having to type this on my phone.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Or should I request a replacement phone? I have not rooted nor installed anything that changes system settings, and these problems only started after the ICS update, so it is not anything I did to my phone.

I've got the same problem after the update 3 days ago. The homescreen keeps closing and reloading - that takes >10 seconds every time. This update made my phone unusable. I can't get to anything because the interface keeps rebooting. I tried restarting it, taking the battery out and factory reset. Nothing helped - it works fine for about 5 minutes and starts messing up again. I can't even answer a call on it because it just freezes when I use any interface features. OMG... Motorola never again!!!
I'm taking it to the store lets see what I can get out of them. Who is testing these updates? Monkeys? That's what causes people to switch to iphones.

Text message problem after 10.2.1 update

I updated to 10.2.1 and I now receive no visual or sound notification for my text messages, they also only appear in the main hub not in the separate account for text messages it just says no entries in this view, can someone pleaseee help its driving me crazy, I've done a battery pull numerous times even disabled Facebook and Twitter notifications as I've seen in another post but nothings working,i really need help as I have no idea when I receive a text unless I go into the hub

I found this on Crackberry.com I haven't been able to try yet as I have a loaner Q10 right now. My keyboard is being repaired. Let me know if this works for you.
See below
This is a solution from the Blackberry support forum:
Believe it or Not i found a simple solution to this problem...
First I did a factory reset on my cell to start from scratch with no contacts and etc... I then ask multiple friends to send me text messages (SMS) to see if i would get them. For hours, all my text message notifications were working fine. Next step, i setup my email accounts accounts...and once again all my notifications were still working fine.
Next i logged into my facebook account and that's when all of a sudden after a few minutes. NO MORE NOTIFICATIONS. No text msg, no emails, no fbook notifications. The default FACEBOOK APP was the problem. I simply deleted the default FACEBOOK APP by tapping and holding the icon for 5 secs... and tap the top right corner of the garbage can and clicked YES to delete. Rebooted my cell and then went on Blackberry World to download the latest FACEBOOK APP and logged into my account. Ever since i did this all my notifications have been working fine. It's only been 24hrs but still it's a major step. I will continue to monitor the situation but my suggestion to you guys... FIRST THINGS FIRST is to delete the default FACEBOOK APP.... and before you re-download it reboot your cell and wait for a little while to see if you're getting your notifications.... then go ahead and re-download the Facebook APP from Blackberry World everything should be fine.

Problems after ICS update.

I had a lot of issues after the ICS update. After a couple of days I finally removed the battery for 1/2 an hour when I replaced it seems to have taken care of all but one issue. When talking on the phone the conversations from the other end breaks up constantly. Has anyone had the same problem?

I've heard of people having various problems, but haven't heard that one.

"Messages" problem after importing .xsd file as external definition

Hello,
I received an .xsd file from a customer and need to import it as an "External Definition" in order to create the "Message Interface". The structure of the xsd looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:px="http://www.opentrans.org/XMLSchema/1.0" targetNamespace="http://www.opentrans.org/XMLSchema/1.0" elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xsd:element name="ORDER">
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="ADDRESS">
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="ARTICLE_ID">
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
After importing and looking at the tab "Messages" I get numerous entries, for each <xsd:element> I get one message! But I basically only need one "Message" that holds my complete xsd-file.
I tried inserting <xsd:element name="COMPLETEORDER"> right after the <xsd:schema>-Tag but that didn't work either. Somehow I need to sum up all the <xsd:elements>.
Does anyone have an idea? Thank you very much!
Peter

Hello Prateek, Hello everyone,
I now know what the problem is. I downloaded XMLspy and checked on the structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:px="http://www.opentrans.org/XMLSchema/1.0" targetNamespace="http://www.opentrans.org/XMLSchema/1.0" elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xsd:element name="ORDER">
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="ADDRESS">
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="ARTICLE_ID">
</xsd:element>
<xsd:simpleType name="dtBOOLEAN">
</xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:simpleType name="dtCOUNTRIES">
</xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:element name="SUPPLIER_AID">
</xsd:element>
<xsd:simpleType name="typeSUPPLIER_AID">
</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:schema>
Between the long list of <xsd:element> tags there are some simpleTypes on the same
level. Now if I insert
<xsd:element name="COMPLETEORDER">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
on top, the <xsd:sequence> would be on the same level as the simpleTypes - which is not valid!
But can I just move all the simpleTypes, e.g. into an <xsd:element>??
That would be changing the customer's structure which I think is not a good thing!?
Thank you again for your help! I really appreciate it!
Best regards,
Peter

How to resolve "Contacts has stopped" and "Sync experiencing problems" after ICS upgrade?

After receiving the Droid Bionic operating system upgrade yesterday, my phone has lost its record of all my contacts, is unable to retrieve them from Vzn Backup, won't synch with my gmail contacts, and won't even allow me to dial phone calls. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
I'm getting the error message when I tap the People or Phone icons:
Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped.
When I go to Accounts & Sync, I get a Sync error, and the message
Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.
(I have been getting that message since yesterday.)
And under Settings > Backup Assistant+ Contacts, when I tell it to Synch Now,
Unfortunately, Backup Assistant+ Contacts Client has stopped.
I tried the Verizon chat service, and was very frustrated to be told that I either have to call Tech Support (hard to do when your phone won't dial!!!), or go to a store for them to fix it in person.

Good to find this forum on Android issues... Thanks Verizon!
    I also started getting the 'Unfortunately, contacts has stopped' after the new OS update. I want to add my 2 cents since I found a very different fix (after trying the other stuff)...
My "contacts stopped" problem seemed to come and go, but actually I think it was more subtle, at least in my case, only affecting some of my contacts but not others... When I finally got tired of putting up with it, I tried a number of Power-Offs, hoping to clean up something (hey, it often works for Microsoft OS). At this point, I noticed that some contacts would get the errors but not others. Then I found this forum, and I was optimistic that the clearance of the cache data would fix it, as it had for others... but not so lucky, in my case.
   FINALLY, I decided to take a look at my Google contacts online. There were any number of duplicates that I don't recall creating. Perhaps emails or phone calls occasionally produce some of these? There were also a few contacts that I did not recognize at all (maybe due to the same causes?). SO, I cleaned up the online version of my contacts, went back to my phone, and now the contacts are no longer "stopped"!
   I hope this can help someone. I wish I had thought of it earlier.

Livedock problem after ICS Update

Hi
My Livedock stopped working after the ICS Update (via PC Companion).
I tried uninstalling the app update so I could reinstall it again and see if this fixed the problem however I now get the following error when trying to update livedock to the latest version:
"Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous version of the app and try again."
Any ideas?

Try to reinstall the phone software via PC Companion.

Wireless router connection problems after ICS update

Good Morning (sort of)
I just got ICS on my Thunderbolt and now the wifi connection cycle between "save", "obtaining ip address" and "connected".
It will not stay connected. I've forgotten the connection and reestablished it to no avail. The connection is WEP to support
a couple of old devices.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - I have a home server that I now can no longer connect to because it's on the LAN side
of the router and my phone is not.

I've been having the same problems keeping a wifi connection (both at home and work) since I upgraded to ICS as well. I just tried the "forget" (as suggested in this post) here at work and it seems to be working better now--connected for about 30mins now. I'll have to try this when I get home tonight. Thanks!

Droid RazrMaxx battery problems after ICS update

I purchased a RazrMaxx in June and updated it to ICS on June 29. Since the ICS update the battery life on the phone went downhill. After a 100% charge and having the phone on standby for the last 14hrs 15min, I have only 30% battery life. I reset the phone twice to factory specs, it did not help. Screen brightness is set to about 30%,battery savings mode is on. Does anybody have any suggestions. Thanks

Wipe Cache first, if that doesn't bring joy, FDR but do not let google restore apps/data - set them up manually(PITA, I know)
For info on how to do either:https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/777870

MMS messaging problems after jellybean update.

I am having issues sending and receiving any MMS messages since the update. If I send one it appears on the phone that it was sent. I have questioned several people and they do not receive them. Also I have had several people send me pictures and messages that I do not receive. I have checked the settings and can not find what is causing the problems. Also not receiving all my calls. It's random. Sometimes the phone will ring normally and sometimes it doesn't ring or show that I have missed a call. Any suggestions?

Hello to you Kabull!
Getting the newest update is always exciting, but I definitely don't want you to experience any difficulties! I will be delighted to provide some suggestions to help out!
It seems to me that both issues may actually be related. Generally when a phone doesn't ring or show a missed call and you aren't able to send/receive messages you may not be experiencing a solid connection to the network.
I would start small and highly recommend leaving your phone on, pull the battery out, pull the sim card out. Leave everything apart for about 10 seconds and put everything back together. This will cause your phone to "reprogram" or update.
Let us know how this goes!
Thanks,

Facebook problems after ICS update on Neo V

Hi,
I have a weird problem since updating, where the facebook app only works when connected to WiFi. I still get notifications , which I assume comes from the facebook in Experia , but when I open the app it thinks i've lost my connection. All other apps seem to work. Last night I installed an alternative facebook client (Seesmic) and it has the same issue.
I'm thinking its some kind of port issue, but I'm a bit stumped as to how I can resolve it.
Has anyone else had this problem ?
Thanks.
Leigh.

I am wondering if you have a WAP access point installed instead of the Internet APN. You can check this by going to:
Main menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > You may need to check with your current network provider to confirm if what you have selected is WAP or Internet.

Unable to send text messages after ICS

After ICS install I just found out that although I receive text messages replies or new messages are not sent. It appears that they are but recipients do not get them. Reboot, battery pull, cache wipe and soft reset have been tried. Any other suggestions?

I'm sorry to hear about the problems encountered with your phone, Corky54! I appreciate all the steps you already have taken to resolve this issue. At this point, the next best step is to complete the Master Reset. Be sure to backup all of your data prior to completing the reset.
