Lumia Icon :: Intermittent Text Messages And Apps Crashing
Aug 7, 2015
I started with an intermittent text receiving issue a couple of days ago. Text will work fine, then they stop. After the that the only way to get them working again is a reboot. Called VZW, they ran tests on their side, etc. I'm thinking this is on the phone side.
This morning, the text app is giving me the "resuming" msg. and also started crashing. Also some other apps are crashing like looking at pictures.
Seems like a hard reset is needed here? I'm out of town, won't be back for 2 weeks. Need the phone to work, so if I hard reset, will I be in a need of a wifi to get the phone operational again?

I just purchased a new Nokia Lumia Icon as an upgrade for my very well used HTC Trophy. I was able to use the 'Transfer My Data' app to move my contacts over, but the app was only able to copy my oldest 500 text messages over.
Is there any other way to transfer all text messages over, or for the 'Transfer My Data' app to transfer the newest 500 rather than the oldest 500? I'm on Verizon if that makes any difference.

I'm migrating from an iPhone 4 (iOS 6) to the Icon and tried without much success to transfer text messages to my new phone. I was able to transfer contacts successfully... and the Text Message option does appear when I pair my iPhone, but is says "0 Found," quite the contrary from what is actually on the phone. Since it seems like the transfer app wants to work, any trick to make it happen.

Another issue that I'm seeing is that the camera roll (in the lumia camera app) will frequently cause the phone to crash/reset. I've had it happen at least 5 times so far.I suspect it has to do with the living images.

i've just bought the 9900 and previously was using 9700.9700 is such a beauty i've got no problems with it ! until i've switched to 9900... the performance of 9900 is superb. However after like one day of usage. the text messages starts to go crazy. i couldn't scroll up and down for some SMS and after awhile i couldn't open text messages.

I have two email accounts set up on my 920. When I press the tile for either of these or for text messaging the screen flips like it is about to launch and then goes back to the home screen. Email and text are obviously fairly important.

I have not yet gotten ahold of a Lumia 950 but plan to do so in the fairly near future. I've been reading this forum and find various comments about whether or not to restore from a WM 8.1 backup. My current phone is a Lumia 1020 running Denim.
My question is for those who have recommended a fresh install rather than a restore from backup. Are you referring only to the "Apps and Settings" backup and not the "text messages" backup?

I'm having problems with the audio on my Bold 9700. It's turning off and on every second and there's a flashing headphone icon in the top left corner of the screen. I plugged headphones into the phone for a while yesterday - I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
It's really ridiculous that RIM doesn't have actual tech support people that customers can call.

The text icon disappeared and I do not receive notifications of new text messages. The only way I can find a text is to locate the sender in my Contacts.

After only a couple of days with my torch and not having modified it all, all of a sudden when I click on the TEXT message icon, it just shows my regular inbox.It used to show only SMS messages and was really cool. Now it shows emails and all!
I dont see anywhere to change this back to the original behavior. I did a hard reset with no luck.So far I love my phone even with the minor annoyances like it hangs for a few seconds after unlocking it everytime, fine I can live with that. But I really want to fix this text message thing

The Icon for text messages is not showing them. When I point to it I get "setup". The ONLY way I've been able to find my text messages is to go to "search", type in "tex" (no more because it mis directs me) then the icon with all the messages is there. I tried the BB button and do NOT get an option to move the folder. The ONLY way I've been able to find it is to use the specific search method as stated above. I've been working on the problem for 2 hours now since a friend told me via Facebook that she had sent me a text.

Just got my Icon today, and my laptop with Windows 8.1 about 48 hours earlier (after coming straight from Vista). Should I be closing apps on the Icon like I would on my old iPhone? It's easy on my laptop but I can only find how to pin or uninstall apps on the Icon.Took some setup, but I'm liking how its pulling from my microsoft account and syncing a lot of settings in apps.

I have a Bold 9650 with blackberry os 6.
For a while now I can only view text messages from the "message" icon on my phone. I used to be able to view 2 different email accounts. The only way I can see my emails now is from the little window just below where the time is displayed.

My Torch 9800 is on the Bell Mobility network in Canada. OS Version: 6.0.0.246, Bundle 695, Platform 6.4.0.105I'm on my 6th day now, and aside from all the gripes that everyone is saying, like poor screen resolution, or CPU is too slow, I say to you: stop your bitching! The phone is what it is and if you don't like it, don't get it! I think the phone works quite well. Your bitching is like people who would rather complain about what's on TV than change the channel.On to my little problem...About 7 times now my Text Messages icon has vanished from my Favorites menu. Each time this happens, I re-favorite it. There doesn't seem to be any ryme or reason for this to happen. I've tried the battery pull a few times. I've done the power down/back up. But the Text Messages icon is the only icon that vanishes from Favorites.

I upgraded from a 822 to Icon, and the only complaint i have is how i get facebook messages through the default text/message app.
On the 822 it would be almost instantaneous, maybe 1 minute max after getting it on my desktop browser. Now i will usually get them hours upwards of 12, later.

I'm still new to Windows Phone and wondering if there's a way to open an App instead of a web page when clicking no a link.
For example, if I'm reading a Twitter feed and someone links to an Instagram photo, the link opens up in Explorer, not the Instagram App. Anyway to change this?

I have just been getting to know windows phone UI recently with my purchase of the Icon. I have not got it running with sim on my carrier yet, but just after setting it up and exploring everything......I am missing the always there voice to text ability in the keyboard that my Moto G and Nexus 7 tablet have.
Though I do get the voice icon with a few app's keyboard....I am wondering if there is an add on for the stock keyboard for the Icon and Denim? I really miss the vastly implemented voice to text on my other android devices.

While I am able to send and receive text messages at the moment, recently, I found where 6 text messages never got sent. I deleted them. However, I still show a text message icon with a red circle/slash through it indicatint the messages never got sent. Since they were deleted, how can I get rid of the failed messages icon in the status bar? I clear the bar, but the icon eventually returns. Don't know why it happened or how; but thought deleting the messages would delete the icon. Not even sure how I'm now ok sending and receiving messages!

I've downloaded the app tag editor on my old phone and my new Icon. After downloading the app both phones saw a dramatic decrease in battery life. They both decreased from 1 day 15 hours estimated battery life to just 15 hours. I've uninstalled the app and done a soft reset and the problem persists.

I have Microsoft Account (Hotmail) for email and it syncs fine between phone and when I check email manually using browser. However when I add new email account for Yahoo and Google it doesn't sync right away and when I check email manually using browser the email is still there after few hours or the next day.

I just got my new Lumina 950 (I loved the Nokia 1020 so much I had to stay with Windows) but I cannot change the itty bitty font size on the home screen icons. I slid the text size bar all the way to 450%, which enlarged the right screen, but didn't change my home screen as much. I don't want to start wearing glasses just because of this phone, and I don't want to give up my windows phone.

Been pretty happy with the ICON. Noticed a problem with sending group messages to Sprint Android users from Verizon ICON. They are getting a blank group message. Tried an Android on ATT and it worked. My friend tried it from is WP on Verizon and he gets the same results. Tried to talk to VZW and "We'll look into this" and now its marked as resolved but the same issue exists.

Is there an app that will let me set different ringtones for lets say my e-mail, text messages and other apps? On Android 2.2, is there a tweak or app that allows you to take pictures by pressing the Volume Controls?Is there an app that allows you to rotate each homescreen at set intervals? Is there an app that allows you to increase the number of homescreens you can have? Is there an app that allows you to basically infinite scrollable photo contact homescreen?
Does the Evo support Video Ringtones? Does the Evo support Full Screen Photo ID? How is the MP3 Sound Quality Compared to the Iphone 3GS and 4, Sansa Fuze/Clip+ and Ipod Video/ Classic? Is there really a 5GB Cap on Data? How many hrs a day of streaming music can be done with that? On the FM Radio..can you see the name of the station and song like on the ZuneHD?

I use Sprint and everytime I miss a call the Messages icon appears and does not disappear until I open the messages folder and open the missed call message. This is incredibly annoying for me, as I usually just press the send key and see what calls I have missed. Doing this does not clear the messages icon or notification.
I really dont need missed calls sent to Messages, the only reason I ever use the Messages folder is to clear the icon from my screen.Can anyone help me either disable this icon or alter what is sent to Messages?
