Why does my GS4 freeze every time I send or recieve a group message?

Every time I send or receive a group text, my phone freezes. No response from any buttons; there is nothing I can do but wait. VERY time consuming to use group messaging. I'm not using a 3rd party messaging program, I've tried clearing the cache, restarting the messaging program, restarting the phone, resetting the phone, nothing works. Problem has existed ever since I've had the phone, so it has nothing to do with the update. Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas?

It only happens while in a group message. The phone should not be lacking memory, as I have very few apps installed. I've tried a soft reset, but am hesitant to do a hard reset because of losing what apps and personalization I do have.
I installed the Verizon Messages app, and it seems to work better. But I don't like the design/features of the app, so I don't want to have to use it.

  • I Just upgraded to the lastest iTunes version, why does my iTunes freeze every time I connect my iPod but yet it still plays music?

    I've never had this problem before but since I've updated my iTunes, it freezes as soon as my iPod gets connected. Ever more strange, the music plays in the background but yet iTunes is frozen. Any help?

    It appears that my iTunes is recignizing my iPod as an iPhone for some reason...could that be the problem?

  • Why does my iTunes hang every time when using automatic device detect?

    Why does my iTunes hang every time that I connect either of my devices (iTouch-4th Gen, iPod Nano-5th Gen), to my Win 7 (64-bit) PC desktop?  By the way, this does not happen if I open iTunes first, and then connect the device.  So my workaround was to simply uncheck the checkbox that allows iTunes to start automatically upon device connection.  This doesn't fix the problem, but it allows me to synch my device, but it would be nice to be able to have the autodetect work properly, so that iTunes would start normally without locking up on me and freezing. That's what I mean by 'hanging'.  My whole computer doesn't freeze--only iTunes.

    Hello E
    Start with finding the path where the songs are on your PC by right clicking the songs that are missing in iTunes and click Get Info. You should get a window that pops up and in the Summary tab; the path will be there. Then navigate to where it was and see if the files exist. Other than that you can try to search your computer to find those files. Checkout the articles below for tips on finding the missing music, also if some of the tracks are downloaded from the iTunes Store you can download the tracks again by deleting the missing tracks from iTunes and then navigating to the purchases section in the iTunes Store to download them again.

  • Why does my router disconnect every time I sleep the computer? Why did this only start to happen recently?

    Why does my router disconnect every time I sleep the computer? Why did this only start to happen recently?

    Actually it does with Ethernet too: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2412?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    What happens when the Mac goes to sleep (not just into idle mode or display sleep)?
    On all Macs:
    The microprocessor goes into a low-power mode
    Video output is turned off, and a connected display may turn off or enter its own idle state
    Apple-supplied hard disks spin down; third-party hard disks may spin down
    On portable Macs:
    The Ethernet port turns off, if applicable (see note below)
    Expansion card slots turn off
    The built-in modem, if present, turns off (see note below)
    An AirPort card, if present, turns off (see note below)
    The USB ports only responds to the power key on an external keyboard (see below)
    The optical media drive, if present, spins down
    Audio input and output turns off
    Keyboard illumination, if a feature of your portable computer, turns off
    But see the note about selecting, "Wake For Network Access" in Energy Saver preferences.
    Note: Portable computers have no network connectivity when in sleep mode, but can wake if the Energy Saver option "Wake for network access" is enabled. If you wish to use file sharing or don't want to interrupt your Internet connection, you should not manually put the computer to sleep, and you should drag the "Computer sleep" slider to Never.

  • Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)?

    Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)? How do I get the slider back?

    Problem solved: I have been using Walnut for Firefox ver. 2.0.28 theme. For some reason this has been causing the problem. Started FF in Safe Mode, and the slider problem disappeared. Then proceeded to re-enable the Walnut theme: the problem reappeared. Disabled Walnut theme and reenabled all my other add-ons (about 6 of them). Still no problem. So, clearly there is a problem with the use of Walnut theme in FF ver. 32, at least on my Windows 7 installation.
    Thanks for all your suggestions and help. Good job, all!

  • Why does my iPhoto quit every time i use it?

    why does my iPhoto quit every time i use it?

    Thanks for your help.
    1st, when I go to software updates, it says all my software is up to date.  Perhaps that is because I only have OS 10.7.5 and the updated iPhoto version is for an updated OS version.
    I turned off the counts in prefernces and still can empty the trash.  It gets stuck and will not empty more than about 1/5 of the trash.
    Can you help me figure out the fastest way to back up iPhoto.  I have the cloud backup but not sure how to check to see if it is actually backing up my photos.  Do you know how to check into this?  Is it better to back up on a hard drive?
    Thanks again for your help ...

  • How come every time I send a text it says Message failure

    It just started happening a couple of days ago, every time I send a text message to people it says "message failed to deliver" and I have to resend the text.

    Hi Nessaa95,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that sometimes when you send a message from your iPhone, you see an alert that the message failed to deliver. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article. 
    If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • Why Does iTunes 6 crash every time I try to open it????

    I'm ready to tear my hair out. This is NOT what I want to be doing at 11:43PM. It all started because I wanted to download the song "Wild Thing" the other night. I got a message indicating to download it I have to upgrade to iTunes 6. Given that it's a free upgrade, why not. After a couple of days of assorted problems doing the installation, finally got that right (or so it seemed).
    However, every time I click to open iTunes, it immediately crashes. When I click to report the crash to Microsoft and follow the link, I get this message (my narrative continues after the Microsoft info below).

    Is this software just buggy or what? I don't WANT to troubleshoot. I just want to access my iTunes library!!! I need 2 or 3 simple steps to make this work. I didn't even want to download iTunes 6. I was perfectly happy with the prior version.

    Go back to a version of iTunes that worked for you. When I upgraded to 6.0.2, I crashed every time I plugged an iPod in. I went back to 6.0.1, and everything works fine now. Make sure you completely uninstall your current "upgrade" of iTunes, then go to http://www.filehippo.com/download_itunes/
    to get a prior version of iTunes for installation.
    Please respond if this works. Seems like problems after the 6.0.2 release of iTunes for Windows have been rampant. Like you, I assumed that every upgrade of iTunes was automatically an improvement. Not so, at least for me and a lot of other users.
    Good luck.

  • Why does my phone sync every time I plug my phone into my computer?

    Every time I plug my phone through my computer it sync's it. I takes a long time for my phone to sync with my computer. I was wondering why this was happening all the time and why does it take so long to sync?

    Because that is the way Apple made it.
    Whenever your phone is connected and iTunes is open it syncs.
    If for whatever reason you do not want iTunes to open and synch with the iPhone, go into iTunes and turn that feature off.
