My phone been acting up lately and that’s why it took me so a while to get your text vs My phone been acting up lately,that’s why it take me a while to get your text

Both phrases have some issues in terms of grammar and clarity. The first phrase has a tense inconsistency ('took' should be 'took me') and a missing word ('so'). The second phrase has a subject-verb agreement issue ('take' should be 'took'). Both phrases could be improved for better clarity and correctness.
