Every time that I click on the contacts app icon, it says, "App not installed." I don't know what happened to the contacts app, but, obviously, I'd really like to get it back. I was hoping that it might come back with an update. I did just update the software, and the contacts app still won't work.
Does anyone have an idea of how to get the app back? Would a factory reset do it - or does that just wipe out all of your data and self-installed apps? Do I just give up and try to contact Samsung?
Thanks for the help.

I just updated my phone for the first time. Its now 2.2. Ugh. My main issue is I no longer have a market! When I click on the market icon, it says "Application is not installed on phone." Called verizon, their only fix was to do a factory reset, which I don't want to do. Any way around this? I want the market back!!

Just today I started receiving facebook notifications on the top notification bar but I have never signed into facebook from the phone. I also checked the website and all of my notifications are turned off. I only get them when someone sends me a message and when I drag the bar down and click on it nothing happens. It is becoming really annoying so I would greatly appreciate any help.
If its popping under notifications then it would be because of a facebook app that u must of signed into at one point in time and to shut off notifications go into the face book app when the app loads push back sp yr at the screen of fifteenth options then just click the button next to the home button to bring up setting witch u can fix in there or just easily sign out

I have never signed into the Facebook app on the phone. In fact, I just did a factory reset after I had to SBF back to froyo to install the pre-rooted gingerbread. I even tried deleting the facebook app and still got the notifications. It shows up like an email notification, but with the email when you click on it it opens the email. With this notification, if you click on it, it just goes away but nothing else happens.
Then I have no clue of how to help u but if u don't have anything installed on ur phone yet u could all ways try to do another factory reset

I never said I didn't have anything on my phone; I did a factory reset a week ago and since then I have installed alot of the apps/games I had prior. Facebook was one of the apps I installed, but I never signed in. Never before today have I received these notifications. I didn't think it was the facebook app since I never signed in, but I deleted it anyway and still got the notification. This would lead me to believe it is not linked to the actual facebook app itself. Within the past day, I have done anything that would lead me to believe it was behind these notifications.
Did you add a Facebook account through Blur? That is another possibility as the built in account system sends you notifications for some things, including messages.

Yes, but the reason I didn't think it was that is because the notifications just began yesterday and I have received messages prior to that with no notification. Do you know where I can get to the settings for that? When I go into "My Accounts" and click on Facebook it only gives me the option of removing account.
So it all started when I wanted to remove my contacts that synced from Facebook. I was able to remove them, but it also removed all my other contacts. So I decided to try a restore using TB and really messed things up. After doing a clear cache/data, I figured I'd get them back. If I type in the number in the dialer, I see my contacts. However when I click on the AT&T address book, its empty. I've tried rebooting and clearing the data numerous times. Nothing seems to bring them back.
If no one has any ideas on how to get them back in the address book. Any ideas on how to install the stock ICS "people" app?

One other thing I just noticed is that the contacts show up if I type the name in the search box. But they are not in the list
Hi, on my Wife's Samsung Galaxy S4 (AT&T) Non-Rooted Phone. Her contact Pictures keep changing to a blank Picture. I went on line using a PC and went to her Google Contacts and her pictures of her contacts were there. So I thought it might be a Sync issue..tried syncing and it didn't work...tried restarting, that didn't work...I went to her Application Manager on her phone and cleared the cache and data on each of the following Apps and restarted after each time I cleared the app data/cache, till I found out which one was causing this issue..
CONTACTS
CONTACTS STORAGE
GOOGLE CONTACT SYNC
I don't know what causes this or how I can stop it from happening...I will have to preform this action every 1-2 weeks to correct it, only to have it change again...
I was wondering:
Does anyone else have this issue?
Do you know how to fix it?
Do you know why this keeps happening?
Aside from wiping out here phone and starting it from scratch, (Time consuming) I want to understand the cause behind it first...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!!

Does she sync contacts from Facebook, or Twitter, etc?

Yes....they all sync without any issues...she don't have to touch the phone and it automatically does this on it's own..I was thinking it had something to do with AT&T Address Book Sync...but not sure what it could be as COM STORAGE seems to have been the only thing that set it back to normal when I cleared the Cache and Data.....

It could very well be the AT&T program. Freeze it with TiBu, and see if it keeps the correct contact pictures.

Thanks will do...I'll test that out when I get home..
Update: Moderators can close this post. The issue has been resolved. It was a system upgrade that went OTA and had glitches. Had to do a re-install of the OS and factory reset...now everything is perfect...
Email app crashes on opening a new mail. From status bar and from the app itself. After the first crash I can with no problem view my new email by opening the app again. This has been happening to me on every stock rom I used. Anyone know what the problem might be?

Tried a data factory reset or reflash the (stock) rom follwed by a factory reset.
Thanks you for answering!
I did try that 2 times a time ago. Didn't help. Apparently I'm the only one with this issue. Others that had this kind of problem had S2 and S3 where factory reset or clearing the app data did help them.

I know you factory reset, which should make this suggestion redundant, but try anyway: go to settings>apps>all and find the stock email app. Clear data for it, force stop it, and restart your phone. That may not do anything, but it's something to try. You should also check out K-9 mail for an alternative all-in-one app.
