Anybody else have the problem of getting a force close when dialing *2 to call sprint customer care? I get the error "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly blah blah.." Any ideas on causes or fixes?
This really isn't a big issue...I haven't seen any other related issues. But I just can't help but wonder why. I am running Fresh 3.3.
U need to reinstall the app called Sprint Zone which is in the Fresh Removed Apps folder
Awesome answer. I froze Sprint Zone in Titanium Backup Pro and figured my *2 dial and subsequent FC was due to something I froze. Did an Unfreeze of just Sprint Zone, and all better now.

I had an issue with my RIL crashing after a while due to "Insufficient Resources" which caused the text message I was trying to send to fail. This error occurred after about 2 days of use without a reset. When I rebooted and checked the Battery/CPU/Partial Wake-Lock usage in spare parts, it said that the dialer had been running the whole time(Part of the poor batter life issue).
Has anyone else had this problem?
I think the problems are probably related. Something in the dialer has a memory leak. Part of that leak involves the continuous wake-lock request. The other part has to due with it just eating resources up. All of the problems stem from the TXT messaging part of the dialer.
Once that is fixed it should be fine, I hope.
OK I need help and serious input since these are the things I use the most. I will give you a little history also. On 0:00 Tuesday 02/22/2011 I downloaded samsung update for EB13. I flashed the phone, and everything went well even the one-click-root-2.5.5. So with my issues appearing I researched and seen many others had issues not like mine. I called Sprint they had me do a hard reset on my phone. Still the issues are a not real bad but I had having to restart my phone 6 or 7 times a day. I even went to the store and the rep said there were no so called "quote issues with the EPIC cause he has one". I need my phone re-flash. I told him I did that. He said have a hard reset done to it. I did it the day after the I flashed it. I told him I still have issues and no one has been able to help me. He said take the phone back and get a new one then. His name is Mike at the Sprint Store on Oleander Dr Wilmington, NC. Lots of help Mike. Just admit the software is sh*t like the phone reps did on the phone. Re-flashing and a hard reset is something I already did, and removed alot of useless app, from the guide on switch apps to remove. So PLEASE someone come up with some mods or ideas to help me. PLEASE. I got no clue on this.
1. Txt messaging. After an hour of non use when trying to send a txt. The txt hangs. I tried de-activating and a signal refresh. Dont work. Only fix is re-start the phone, and re-send the txt.
2. Bluetooth. After non use for an hr Bluetooth says it is still connected. When calls comes in however it is not connected. I have to manual connect, or if no call, I have to do a signal refresh. Not even turning off bluetooth works. The Sprint rep says it is the only work around they have and know about it.
3. QIK. Ok Qik on 2.1 used do a portrait on the front camera. Now it records only as landscape, but shows as portrait. I spoke to Sprint about this also and they said it some I am going to have to deal with. I drive alot to job to job, so I dont have alot of time to play with settings.
bluetooth problems?
i have flashed the eb13 froyo onto my epic with the eb13 supernova,genocide .3a kernal and everything seems to be almost perfect except i still can not give voice commands over my bluetooth ....it will activate, say speak now and then it will disconnect before i can even give a command...if there is a fix for this please let me know...thanks
Txt messenging found
I found the same issue and a fix for it other than reboot. This was found back in July on another phone and carrier but with Android 2.2 Froyo. So this issue is with the OS its self.
A. Settings menu
B. Applications menu
C. Manage Applications
D. Messaging app
E. Force Close button

Re: Android 2.2 text message problem
Fixed it!!! In case anyone else out there is having the same problem, the way I fixed it was by going to the Settings menu from the home screen, then to the Applications menu, then to Manage Applications, then to the Running tab, then to the Messaging app with the icon that Andriod uses for the text function. Then I clicked on the Force Close button. Now it sends text message with no problem. Go figure.
Back up your data with MyBackup Root, use Odin to restore full, clean EB13, then use the Market or AppBrain to reinstall your apps, and your backup to restore only the data for those specific apps. That will solve almost all problems related to the OTA update, including yours, OP.

But he used the .exe...
I think he mightve removed something by accident...was the "apps safe to remove" thread updated for EB13?

Thanks everyone for replying with some needed input and issues of your own. I do think I can live with the messaging app since I found a temp fix for it(force close). I also believe I can live with Qik recording in landscape, even though it was not designed that way for the front camera. However I cannot live the issue of Bluetooth. I need as I will never put a touch screen phone to my ear or listen to it on speaker, like some of these dumb a$$ doing this walking around in public. I drive from job to job and it is very difficult for me to play with setting while driving. NC is becoming a handsfree cell phone state like so many others, and there is no txting while driving at all. It is a dangerous thing to do. I have read older posts from other phone that received 2.2 much earlier in the year and I believe that is OS is $hit. However 2.1 does not have Bluetooth activated command dialing.
*So for you people that are catching up, I did install from the exe and seemed to work fine and even after I rooted with a clockworkmod 2.5.1 recovery. I even did a hard reset with Sprint. I did not removed any important applications as mobile hotspot is this there. I have not upgraded to any new kernel, or rom. These issues are minor, but a major inconvenience. Bluetooth will work for awhile, but then with a call comes in after a hr of rebooting I have to connect manually after it has been paired. ""Sprint said that this was a issue known in the OS, but I am wondering if anyone has found a kernel or mod to correct this issue?""
Why not back it up and then go into cwm and clear the cache/DCache and then run the .exe without removing ANYTHING and see if your problems persist?
If they don't, then take out an .apk one at a time until you find the one that breaks your functions...

Does anyone know what this FC is or what's causing it? It says, "Unfortunately, Context Service has stopped working." When I press ok it just keeps coming up.
Unfortunately, Context Service has stopped working.
Hey, you ever figure this problem out? I'm having the same issue with my S5. It just keeps popping up. Sometimes back to back like 30 times.. It got better, but now it seems like it's getting worse. I'd rather not factory reset my device. I'm rooted on stock 4.4.2. It's been rooted since it came out. So it's been a while. It's been performing perfectly for many months.. But now this is happening. What's the deal?! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I switched it with a context service apk from another rom
I keep getting this error message "Unfortunately Messages has stopped" and it brings me back to my home screen. Also it lags and the keyboard keeps on typing. has anyone had this issue, and if so is there a fix?

I have been having the same issue! It has only been happening since yesterday. I have the T-Mobile variant but have not had an update in a couple of weeks. Don't know what the issue is.
I do not want to go into my App manager and clear data because I would like to keep the messages I have but I am afraid the issue and the lag could be caused from all of the messages I have stored on the device (around 20,000).
However, if I open and use the hangouts app it does not have the lag issue nor does the app crash.

Yes same issue with T-Mobile variant I switched to Google Messager for now until there is a fix. My other option is doing a factory reset, but that is a last resort thing. I did wipe cache partition today and it seems to help but not much. But have you been having issues with calls? Like I can't hear my girlfriend when we talk i'm using N6P and her the GS7 Edge and her phone breaks up alot i'm not sure if its from the carrier because they said " the service in the area has been congested "

I haven't had any issiesnwoth calls. Just seems lately the phone is bogged down. There is still ram available. But it keeps getting slower and slower. If I do a reboot it helps temporarily. Or clearing all apps and ram. But I don't want to keep doing that every 30 minutes. Also, it keeps getting fairly warm almost hot. Is anyone else experiencing their gs7 edge getting hot and slowing down?
I had many people trying to call me and the calls went straight to voicemail and when I called people the call ends immediately after dialing. Please help!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully it get resolved soon I've rebooted. Doesn't seen to do anything.
I've had this happen as well after my stock Samsung firmware crashed while on a trip and I didn't have access to a pc. I went to AT&T to have their firmware flashed and then it became unable to make or receive calls. It only took a reset to fix the problem. If you've recently flashed the AT&T firmware I'd suggest a reset. Even if you haven't done any flashing I'd suggest a reset.
[SOLVED]: SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS > PHONE > FORCE STOP.. I force stopped the phone application and then it worked. Hopes this helps!
Simple...., try calling the number from a friends phone and you'll soon realise that that doesnt work either.
It is a spy programe. Someone wants to bug your calls.
Keep a diary people!!!
