Recently, whenever someone calls me, that message pops up. It constantly pops up whenever I make it go away. Decided to restart my Nexus, but it still was there. However, if I press the dialer, the error actually stops and my phone works normally. Is there a particular reason why it does this? And possibly a solution? Without factory resetting?

Unfortunately, same thing just started happening here, with LiquidSmooth 2.9 on my Tmobile Note 2...
Started when a phone call came in, has not stopped since.
Even after reboot.
Phone is now unusable...
UPDATE - Pressing Dialer actually stops it.
It is just a bit tricky to press OK, then try hitting the dialer button quickly.
But it does seem to fix it.
Can now use phone again.

Hey Peoples
Ive got android 2.2 (updated from telco) and i've noticed occasionaly the phone dialer will crash.
Someones it will not answer a call when I try slide my finger over answer (or hangup if i want to not answer).
Also after a call it doesnt always want to hang up when i press the hang up button, and the call stays connected.
The above problems are quite random but somewhat anoying. Just wondering if anyone else has the same problems ? And does anyone know of any other dialer software I should try using ?
Thanks heaps
Justin
I am having the same random problem. Randomly sms apps (the built in one and, i.e., handcent, stop working. Any suggestion or tip?
Factory reset would be my first step .

Uf! I do not have such severe problems as justin911 (OP).
But I do get dialer crashes and after that the Dialer app is draining my battery thru partial wake.
Once it crashed when I was in contacts and searching for somebody, other times I got called by someone and after 2-3 sec of talk time my phone automatically hung up the call (I called him back 5 times, same thing happened, then I just rebooted the phone and it worked).
For me to get the dialer back and working normally I have to reboot the phone.
This problem occurs randomly and it started doing this in v2.2.1 (Doc's XWJS3+speedmod kernel), but thankfully up until now it only occured 3 times.
Hi!
I finally found a solution to phone dialer crashes (I did not have a dialer crash for over a week now).
According to marcedli and his post the solution is the "Memo.apk" file that needs to be in "/system/app" (everyone should have it, because it is Samsungs own app).
I did not have it because I flashed my own rom from Doc's Kitchen and I do not use it, but apperantly it is needed by the phone app.
I copied "Memo.apk" into "/system/app" folder, rebooted my phone and everything works now and I never had a dialer crash that it would then force my phone to stay awake.
If anyone uses the XWJS5 FW, here is the link to CWM updatable version for "Memo.apk" (or just extract the file and copy it using Root Explorer):

@justin911 (OP):
It is also possible that in your telco's ROM, "Memo.apk" file (it is "Memo" app in the app drawer) is not included, if it is included it is also possible that some other file was not included into the ROM that is needed by the dialer app or some telco's app is messing with the dialer app, not sure.
The solution would be that you flash Darky's ROM or use Doc's ROM Kitchen.
I hope I helped you or at least guided you on a right track!
After two weeks I got the partial wake of Dialer again.
It woke up my phone for 3h and drained my battery.
There is obviously something else going on for these Dialer crashes.
i have the same prob.
i just do a factory reset and dialer crash prob disappear.
I'm having similar problems.
Sometimes, my phone just won't call anyone. When I call a number, there's just a long almost silent noise - and then it just hangs up without any error message. Almost seems like it doesn't get a "line free" signal.
Reboot fixes it, but it annoys the hell out of me.
Flashed to JPY via spoofed Kies...
Anyone got an idea what this could be? :/
It's me again!
And this time I'm for 100% sure how to fix the partial wake usage on "Dialer"!
"Phone/Dialer" drains your battery when you're making a phone call thru the dialer/call log/favorites and then when you finish your call you just push the "power" button to end the call and/or lock & turn off display (and you do NOT wait for the phone app to go back to home screen or you do NOT press the "back" button). The phone app is now still working in the background thinking you're still on the phone and it's waking your phone up.
To "fix" this when ending a call thru Phone/Dialer always press the "back" button or make sure that you're in your "home screen" and not in the phone app (dialer/call log/favorites).
And I don't know if the Phone/Dialer is still running if you press the "home" button instead of the "back" button.
And I don't know if "Memo.apk" fix helped.
And I'm sorry, but I don't know any other solutions for your Phone/Dialer problems.
i had this problems on 2.2 which made me go for a change....now i just flashed 2.3.3 ill test it out for the week hoping to get rid of that problem
I'm having an odd problem, and wanted to see if anyone has experienced it.
My Evo was replaced by Sprint when it started randomly rebooting multiple times a day. The problem I am having never happened on the old phone, although given the nature of it, it seems odd to be a hardware defect.
Basically, whenever you engage Car Mode, either by running the car dock app manually, or by dropping the phone into the dock, the menu button stops working on the dialer screen.
By dialer screen, I mean both the dialer and the in-call screen, which I believe are part of the same apk. If you hit the Evo's Menu button, it vibrates as usual, but the menu does not appear. If I pull it from the dock or exit car mode, it reonsumes working as usual. It does not affect the menu button on any other application.
I have tried re-flashing rooted stock, flashing MikG GB Sense, Swagged out Stock. I have repeatedly wiped everything before and after flashes. I test it each time without installing anything else, so it's not caused by apps I've installed, unless the wipe process has left something laying around that will not go away.
I have googled the web, as well as searching this site. I can't find anyone else who has reported this issue.
Has anyone seen this, or have any ideas on solving it?
I'll add that I tried flashing a rooted stock, and then taking my SD card out, just to make sure there was nothing loading from the SD card. Same issue with the menu button.
Hi,
I've had my phone about a month now. I rooted it the day I got it. It seems like whenever I wake it up from long sleep or get a text message sometimes and try to wake it up, it freezes during the swipe and then randomly reboots. Sometimes it'll just make it to the att symbol and lock up again making me hold power down and then turn it back on. Then it works fine for a good period of time before the issue happens again.
tried- returning phone to stock. Didn't fix. Tried uninstalling att bloatware, not as frequent now but still happens. I have tried underclocking using rom manager. Didn't change anything. Next step maybe to try a custom rom and see if maybe there's a problem with my factory rom? Right now im in safe mode to see if its a third party app.
Is anyone else having this problem or should I consider warranty issue?
Not a third party app
It just did this in safe mode, so it must not be a third party app issue. I'm thinking about trying to install wicked rom following directions on galaxys4root.com. If it still freezes I think it may be a hardware issue.. Anyone have any thoughts?
alt keyboard?
My phone was/is doing the same thing. It seems to me like the phone is working now and I haven't had it freeze up since last night. Every time I install Swiftkey it starts freezing up and I have to pull the battery to reboot.
Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 on AT&T with the September security update and for the past month I have been experiencing a repeating issue where the screen will occasionally not turn on after locking it, even with the power button and home button being pressed. Sometimes by spamming those buttons the device will buzz and turn on again, but recently it has not even responded to this and will completely restart after about a minute. This seems to happen frequently with Snapchat opened but sometimes it does this behavior with other apps open. In the past, messages have also sometimes shown up either saying "System has stopped responded. Would you like to force quit?" or another app that is currently open. If anyone has been experiencing the same problem and has advice it would be appreciated.

I had this issue as well. The phone had a lot of force quits. It would lock up, vibrate then reboot. I would recommend getting it exchanged.

I would do that but I can't exchange the phone at this point, I've had it for a while now.

Can you call in for a warranty exchange?
For some reason after flashing to the new LineageOS 14.1 I cannot hang up after receiving calls or calling somebody. When I press the red hang up button the screen just gets stuck on "hanging up". If I kill the app and go back into dialer I am still in the call. The only way to hang up is the restart the phone which gets very annoying. Has anyone come across this issue before? I'm really liking Nougat and really don't want to go back to stock 4.4.4 KitKat.
My wife has had the same thing on her Nexus 4 running the latest LineageOS build (flashed a couple of days ago).
(edit: Resolved by going into Settings -> Apps -> Gear -> Phone - set default dialer app)

L03 has a dialer issue with any non official ROMs. The hardware is slightly different so the driver doesn't work correctly. I never found a fix for this.
Did anyone find a solution to this? I have flashed the Lineage OS and I am facing the same problem. Everything is working fine but I just can't hang up the call. It stays stuck on "Hanging up" and never lets me do anything until I restart the phone. Solution will be well appreciated
