Unfortunately contacts has stopped, HELP ! - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a fix for this mess?
I've disabled Google+ and still have this problem.
Please help........

I got that message after debranding my n910f. I simply went into the bootloader, cleared the cache and I've not seen it since.
Unrooted 4.4.4 btu n910f

My phone is just a stock Verizon Note 4 and I get this message several times a day. :crying:

I get it too, clearing data did nothing. Seems like a bug lots of people are reporting. Just a minor annoyance if you ask me.
Sent from my Note 4

I n calendar, activate the phone calendar.... That will solve the contact problem

I've been having this same issue since I updated to the ota lollipop from Sprint. I tried the fixes in this thread but nothing helped, mine does when I use the dialer.

I'm still sucking butts with this problem. Is there any clear cut fix for this?

My phone unlocked still get the problem

Knocked off roaming after 3.35 update?

Anyone else have this issue? I was updating from 2.17 out of the box. Should I have updated to an earlier version first then to 3.35?
Also is there anyone that can explain repeating text messages and how it could possibly be fixed. Obviously nothing I can really do. Ive tried hard resets and rom updates nothing fixed it. It was fixed for 3 days when I was given a new phone, the messages began to repeat slowly but still allowed other messages to come, now it just repeats one message over and over. Funny how changing a phone fixed it for three days when it hadnt worked for 3 months.?????
Im at a loss. Any suggestions would be great!

[Q] SIM Removed Error

Hello,
A few hours after I reboot my phone, it will act as though I've removed my SIM (emergency calls only, no text, no data). Restarting the phone fixes the issue for a few more hours, but it's quite annoying to have to turn my phone off and on so often. I'm rooted on MF3, and was running Google Edition 4.2.2 through SS when the issue first appeared, though I have since returned to stock and the issue still exists. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
DorkCat
I am having the same issue, did you ever get this sorted out? My phone is MDB running cm11. I hate to send the phone back... again. My camera crapped out on the first phone. I hate to send it back since I am sure I'll end up with MF3.
Thanks,
Travis

[Q] Disconnects from mobile network several times per day

Hi guys, i know this is a common problem, but i have yet to find a solution to it. My S4 (Bell Canada, KOT49H.I337MVLUFNI2, completely stock unrooted) will drop the mobile network (both voice & data), and the only way to get reconnected to Bell is by rebooting my device. After a reboot I might be good for a few hours or for a few days but it always happens again. At first the mobile signal will grey out, then eventually turn to a circle with a line through it. In the network mode setting becomes blank and non-selectable.
Suggestions around the web include selecting WCDMA only, clearing the cache, factory resets, and reflash the full firmware package with Kies3 & Odin. Ive tried them all and the problem always inevitably returns.
Here are a few links to people with similar problems, but nobody seems to have a solution in any of these threads either:

Other than returning it for a replacement under warranty, does anybody have any other suggestions to fix this? Thanks.
anyone?
Are you sure your problem isn't the same as the sim card removed problems? Because the symptoms sound the same in the effect they have, and what is required to temporarily fix it.
See here and here.
I've experienced the same problem, but it seems to have cleared itself.
It first started happening after the update to the latest Bell stock firmware.
I had read some people blaming it the Amazon app store as well as the Skype app. I had both installed, but have since removed Skype but can't say 100% that this is what solved the issue for me.

I have the same problem, this is not the sim card removed problem, this is a bug in Android 4.4.2 because the problem was not present in 4.3 maybe the recent update to 4.4.4 solve this, has someone try out ?

My SIM card is still in place and detected, the phone just disconnects from the network. After a reboot it will be fine sometimes for a few hours - sometimes a few days, but it always inevitably disconnects.
If you check any of the several links I posted you'll see there are hundreds (if not thousands) of people on all different carriers all experiencing the same problem.

I've had my device since Jan of 2014 and the problem only appeared in the last few months following the 4.4.2 update.
I'm having the same problem. It disconnects and reconnects again. Stays disconnected for about 2 mins. Happens like 12 times a day. I re enter the apn setting and still does it..it happens with every rom I flash. I've notices that it mostly happens when it switches from 4g lte to 4g. I'm on At&t 4.4.4
bump. anyone ever find a solution to this?

Random restarts after updated to nougat :/

So i updated a few days ago to nougat, everyhing went fine now as of yesterday my edge suddenly random reboots for no reason? i dont get it.. i have tryied clear cache from partition and even did a factory reset still nothing.... what can the problem be ? it never restarted before the update so clearly something messed up my phone after that but how..... i hate this any fix for this?
I don't have such experience and seems initially you did not have either.
Do you use stock/unrooted?
Do you use whatsapp gifs?
yes im stock no root or dont plan to either.. using whatsapp but no gifs why ?? this really sux
I'm having this problem too. 2 random reboots last week. Today it rebooted and because I had secure startup enabled it got stuck in the "enter pin" screen, so the alarm didn't work and arrived 2hs. late to work.
Hello,
Same for me

Hi,
I have experienced this on my new S7 Edge today, 2 random reboots. Did any of you manage to get to the bottom of this probem?
Thanks
Hello I have a Galaxy S7 and since the update to Android Nougat 7.0, my phone restarts randomly, it can stay an entire week without restart and it can also restart 2 days in a row. It's totally random. I have reset to the factory settings and I have reinstalled only the most important applications (facebook messenger, viber, yahoo mail) but unfortunately about ten days after reset, the problem has reappeared. What could be the cause of this problem? For info, the firmware version installed on my phone is: G930FXXU1DQBO. Also, I saw on SamMobile that the countries that received the update later, had a new version. Could the problem come from that? Is this a bug in the firmware installed on my Galaxy S7. Thank you in advance for your help.

Had that issue with my Note edge after updating FW to stock 6.01, many threads in Note edge forum report the same. Samsung gave a s..,,,t , never fixed it.
Maybe Whatsapp? Or SIM card?
I had the same issue, but worse. Between 15 and 30 random reboots a day, during calls, during emails, during sleep. Often (and every morning) I picked up the phone and it said it had a reboot, therefore no finger print wakeup etc. After a ton of googling, Wipe Cache, Safe Mode and all that (changed nothing) I ordered a new SD card. Changed nothing. Then I did a factory reset, re-installed all apps via Google backup. Changed nothing. Meanwhile Samsung customer support tells me to send in the phone, may take a few weeks - haha. So I did another factory reset, but then only re-installed the most necessary apps (although I don't want to have a flagship phone and not install whatever i want). Changed nothing. Still 15-30 reboots a day. Plus a seriously bad battery life, maybe because of the reboots, or nougat, or both. Enough for me, and all the more reason not to buy S8. I ordered a Mate9Pro, which is not as gorgeous as the S8, but at least big, 6GB RAM, fastest chip around and has a 4000mAH battery. However, after re-installing all my apps on Mate9Pro and putting my SIM in there (runs smoothly), Whatsapp (without the SIM) kept popping up on the S7. So I uninstalled. While I was at it, I also uninstalled airline apps (Air Berlin, easyjet, Lufthansa, Miles&More - don't ask why). Since then, no reboot on the S7 (8 hours so far, but that's the longest period since the Nougat update). So the maximum damage has been done (had to buy a new phone), and now the old phone works just fine. Maybe it was Whatsapp, or another app causing it to fail? Or the SIM card? I have no clue but maybe someone with some knowledge can make sense of it?
I was having the same problem after nougat update. I noticed that after the reboot I would have notifications from specific apps like airasia app , I shut off notifications from almost all except a few important apps. Reboot no. has drastically reduced since then.

Receiving SMS and MMS is intermittent

Thanks in advance for your help

Problem :crying:
I have a rooted Oneplus 6T on Cricket. The problem I am having is SMS and MMS messages are received maybe around 75% of the time.
I have no problem sending messages.
Sometimes it will work for days without having an issue, then I'll speak to someone and they let me know the 'texted' me and I didn't respond.
It seems if I text someone and they respond fairly quickly it works. But, if a text is sent to the phone randomly, it's hit or miss if I get it.
Attempts to resolve the issue
I have tried so many things trying to resolve the issue. I have worked with Cricket Customer Care. They had me update my APN settings, They have pushed things to the phone, I have even got them to replace the SIM
I have wiped the phone and restored my data. (I am wondering if something in my data is causing the issue)
I have done a lot of testing after trying to resolve the issue and I'll think it's resolved then a few days later it will reoccur.
When did problem Occur
I believe it began when I updated to Android 10
I have did several updates since the issue has occurred and the problem still exist.
I have so many things on the phone that I use daily that I don't won't to wipe without restoring. However maybe when I restore the data, maybe I am restoring the problem.
Thanks so much,
Jamie
I had my op6t on cricket when it launched. I had nothing but problems, with this phone and my previous one. SMS in my case refuses to send to certain people. Issues were never resolved. Fixed the problem by switching to a decent provider. Unfortunately you get what you pay for with cricket. And in my case I get a much better plan on Verizon for only $10 more. Try another phone with your sim see if problems persist if they do you know it's on them not on you.
Hi bladestonez,
Thanks for the response.
My OP6T worked great on Cricket for a year and a half until an update. ,
The annoying part is I can't tell if the issue is resolved for days and with all the apps and data I use on the phone it's a major incontinence to switch to another phone temporarily.
I'm debating on loading a stock ROM and then restoring data. But, I don't want to restore the problem, if it is somewhere in my data.
I'm looking for advice on what to do and what to restore to ensure the problem isn't restored.
Thanks

If your talking about restoring data via twrp from one rom to another you cannot do that. Back up individual apps and their data only using a backup and restore app. Data is not universal between ROMs and will cause major issues, all flashing procedures call for wiping data.
Thanks.
Do you think there best way to ensure nothing is corrupt on the phone is to install stock rom, then restore with titanium backup or something?
Is there a possibility it would restore the problem?
Thanks
I had this problem but it was a problem with my carrier not my phone

Same thing? Can send fine, but receiving most but not all?
Did you ever get them to fix it? Or did you switch carriers?

Yea they fixed it I think for a while I had to put my phone in airplane mode for a few minutes to get all the missed messages. Anyway I think they fixed it I ended up breaking my phone a couple days later and getting a new one so...
