S5 Text Messaging App Lags

Problem: The default text messaging app on my phone lags really badly when I type. It freezes when i type and then when it catches up it repeats what I typed multiple times. There are times when I find that I’m not receiving all my messages or the receiver of my texts will get my message a week later. The only time I have typing issues is when I’m in my messages app.

Solution: If the problem is isolated to the messaging app alone then try to clear the cache and data of this app from the application manager. This will clear out the temporary data of the app which could be causing this problem.

You should also check if a third party app installed in your phone is causing the problem by stating the device in Safe Mode. While in this mode only the pre-installed apps are allowed to run. If the issue does not occur in this mode then it could be caused by an app. Find out what app this is and uninstall it.

I also highly recommend that you wipe the cache partition of your phone from the recovery mode.
