Reinstall it, go to Application manager, clear cache and data, force stop, then disable and uninstall. should fix it

I tried. .no luck.still calls get blocked ...is there a way I can find where data is stored..or do I need to do more

Try to clean the system cache by using Clean master App.

May be you can check the Samsung Auto Reject Settings?
Go to Settings--> Device--> Call--> Auto Rejection to check if you have added any numbers.
I just tried installing the app you have shown but did not have the issue you have mentioned.

Thank you guys..I found what the issue was.i had installed another call block app.and u installed. .but it seems it still retained the data.so I reinstalled it and what do u know..It still had the numbers saved under block. So I deleted the numbers ..and now I get my calls..Thanks a lot everyone. ..I was panicking. ..almost did a reset.

Contacts force closing

Im having a serious problem. Anytime I try to add to or create a new contact, it force closes. I can't in any way edit any contact. The process is com.motorola.contacts. I am on stock 2.3 rooted only. I had previously frozen all the social and yahoo authenticators and since had no adverse affects, went ahead and uninstalled them all. However this was about a week ago, but this problem with contacts began this past weekend. Im at a loss. I need to get this working again. Im very uncomfortable with unlocking my bootloader to reflash as I don't understand the terminology you pros use and afraid to ask for fear of being called stupid (again) by some pros. Any help? And please if you feel the need to make me feel like a complete moron, please bite your tongue. Thank you.

what all did you delete???? that could very well be your problem. i know on my galaxy tab 7 i deleted the email app and my cam force closed every time and would not work, put the app back and all was fixed.
Yes, probably your contacts get fc 'cause you deleted the yahoo authentication, and I think the contacts (if some of your contacts have a yahoo account) use this authentication, so if the contact app doesn't find the authentication app this fc.
And probably if you deleted others sys apps linked with the contact app, you'll still having fc.
So, what apps did you delete?
Anyway you can try install the app(s) again with rootexplorer

The apps I deleted were all the authentication ones for facebook twitter and yahoo. However, I don't save any email addresses in my contacts. Only phone numbers. How would I go about finding the backup I have of those apps with tibu thru root explorer?

I suggest to freeze apps and don't uninstall them (unless you are 100% certain it's safe to delete).
I had the same problem as you, but in my case I just had frozen the authentication apps, which after I un-froze them, Contacts worked again.
Maybe a ROM reflash is what you need?

yep i had the same issue i couldnt add any contacts im not 100 but it may have been due. to a app i had installed not sure i do now i reflashed alienv4 and that new 1.4 oc kernal from faux and the other guy and the problem is solved now

I was thinking that too. How do I go about doing that without unlocking my bootloader and voiding my warranty. Im tech savvy, but not enough to be able to hide the unlocked if I need warranty service. Any help is so appreciated.

Most likely its because you installed the leaked Google+ app. Uninstall and your problem is solved.

I had the same problem when I freeze all the authentication apks.
The Solution: Un-frozen them.
If you have uninstalled them, you should get the apks and install them.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english >_>

You can try this 2 ways:
1. With root explorer go to: system/app then look for the apps you deleted, tap and reinstall them.
2. Any way can't reinstall the apps, you may try a factory reset: setting/privacy/factory data reset (using this way all your data will be erased)

Help with Advertising apps

Hello
Many of you might notice that after you install an app certain adds are installed to your device such as notifications. I would like to know if there is any way to remove those notifications manually. The problem is that i dont know which app installed those adds... usually the icon image is a star. If you can help me post any solution. Thanks in advance

Search at google for an app "Lucky patcher".
This app removes the ads from almost all the apps.
Not sure if it is legal though...
A second-more difficult way is to decompile the apk and clear all the ad-calls, but I don't recommend it.
Cheers
The problem is that ive already tried that but i dont know which app to disable the adds and some apps when i try to disable the adds some patch are success full and others arent. :S

I see... If you don't know what app is causing the notification ads, an easy way to find out is to read the reports at Google Play for each of your apps. Somebody must have complained about it... I can't think of any other way right now...
Afterwards, you can try removing them with Lucky Patcher but it doesn't guarantee that it will succeed... As always...
If you're using a rooted ROM, just use adaway or an hosts file to block ads.

That g don't know, I use a hosts file and have no ads anywhere in the system. But then, I don't know if any of the apps I use throw ads in the notification area were I not using the said hosts file.
Anyway, there are apps that can tell you which app is the generator of the ads in the notification area. I don't know the name of it, but I've read about it. Then, when you find out which horrible app does that, just uninstall it and find an alternative...

There's that lookout ad security app in the market. Use that to see which ads are coming fro.where.

Can no longer “check in" on FB

I know this sounds silly but it's actually really bothering me, mostly because I can't figure out why it's not working.
When I had my phone stock unrooted I could check in on FB.
When I was stock rooted I could still check in on FB.
I debloated, installed xposed and wanam, added a modded launcher and now I can't check in.
What crazy is I have done almost all the same changes to my wife note 3 and she still can check in.
Only thing we have done different is the debloating.
Curious if anyone else has broke this after debloating?
Thanks

And nothing else on phone appears to be broken. Gps is working for all other features

Probably one of the apps you froze. If you get it figured out let us know. But not logging into FB might be considered a feature by some.

Is this via the FB app or browser? If browser make sure you haven't disabled javascript. I temporarily turn off javascript when browsing XDA so it doesn't constantly refresh but it also breaks things.
In the android app

Check if there has been a update since you rooted that may have caused it. And try the normal, if you haven't already, reinstall and who's phone cache.

Nobody cares that u stopped by Costco to buy toilet paper. Wutever broke that "check in" feature did u a favor.
...im kidding bro. plz dont take offense. I just love giving facebookers a hard time. having said that, I appear to be the only person in the milky way galaxy without a facebook account so maybe I should be the one getting cracked on. im also the only person in the galaxy that still has a Myspace so im sorta cool right??

Ok so I figured out out has something to do with my settings. Because I logged into my wife's account on my device and the check in ability worked perfectly.

(Q) Anyway to actually fix the bluetooth wake lock?

I was on another stock rom that was giving me some problems with RR's and some things so I flashed another stock T-Mobile debloated rom found here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688981
And now I have this hideous BT wakelock. It's really annoying. I have read a lot about it on the net but just not whether or not there is a fix for it... I don't really want to use an AOSP rom. I like the stability of stock with some exposed additives but this is kinda crazy. Really eats a lot of my battery up...

It sounds like you know what you're talking about. I'm just a little confused. Bluetooth isn't running. It's not even turned on. So, I'm not thinking it's an app. Apparently it's a known issue. I just wonder if anyone has fixed it .. Or how their dealing with it.

It is a bug with in kitkat its self not lg's ui
Download the service disabler app from play store
Open it and go to system apps .. scroll down to bluetooth open it and kill all blue services by clicking them ...
If you end up with any issues with bluetooth not working just revert the diaabled services .
This app works for any serice and is my best friend

I dunno. I asked myself the same question. I charged to 100% and then unplugged and went about 16 hours with about 5 hours screen on time before the phone turned itself off.... Others get better life. With the other kit Kat stock rom I had I went about 18 hours with 5 hours screen on time and had about 20% left.... That rom started random rebooting. Never could figure out why... If I reflash it will remove my TWRP hence why I don't just reflash that one and started using this one....
