How can I stop Google voice freezing?

Google voice freezing

Periodically I use Google Voice on the stock keyboard to text. However I noticed when I try to exit Google Voice by clicking the "X" the application freezes and I can't exit until it times out. Anyone else have this issue or a solution? Thanks

I'm glad I'm not the only one I guess. It's a really annoying bug
Drives me crazy!

Try using Hangouts instead? You can SMS from your Voice number with it, though if you use it for your carrier number SMS, it can get cumbersome having to remember which is which. If you are not using Hangouts for carrier SMS, give it a shot with Voice.

I notified Google about the app freezing. Hopefully they will correct the issue.

Anyone find a fix to this? I am surprised more people aren't complaining about this annoying bug.

Updating a bunch of apps seemed to have resolved this issue.

My phone just started doing this yesterday, after I updated a bunch of apps. Any other suggestions? Right now I have to restart my phone every time it freezes, which is about every third time I use it.

Same thing happens to me! So frustrated.

I posted a similar thread yesterday. I got the 5.1.1 update yesterday and have not seen the problem since.

Problem started after updating several apps on 9/26/15. I have to restart my phone to close Google voice.

Let me know if anyone finds a fix for this. It is very frustrating. Have to reboot phone constantly! Thanks!

So, I've been talking to Samsung Galaxy owners and many are having problems with Google voice freezing.
Is it happening on LG's?

 

[Mark Jabaley]

Yes happening to me 5-6 times daily, galaxy s5 active. My only temp solution is restarting. Please fix soon!

I updated ALL my apps and the issue went away for me.

Hasn't happened to me yet. I use google voice all the time. VZW Note 3 stock.
I never update any app unless it doesn't work any more. Seems like updating only adds ads to apps that were formerly clean.

This is ridiculous that Google can't fix this. My phone has been jacked up since the 9/26 update. Two other friends ended up with serious issues - one had to reset his phone back to factory settings - and the other had to replace her phone altogether. Mine is not as bad - freezes on the voice texting (so I cannot text or make or answer calls without powering down), it won't hold the my wallpaper settings and doesn't give me text notifications (well maybe one out of every 20 or so). I guess I should consider myself lucky?

I'm so over this. Google needs a fix for this. Immediately. It's pathetic. Do I sound angry? I am. A $600 phone that is less than 4 months old that won't work properly now. Yeah, not happy.

Does anyone have a work around for this since Google is too incompetent to figure it out? I already had Verizon try to help me with it - and it resumed all it's issues a couple hours later.

Re: Google voice freezing

One guy said updating all his apps fixed it. Have you tried that?

Re: Google voice freezing

Yes no problems with it ever since updating everything
