[Q] Contacts force closing - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am on OA8 (Lollipop). Currently unrooted.
Issue is every 30 Minutes or so it tells me that "Contacts has stopped working."
does anyone else have this issue?

I have this problem too. On OA8 rooted. Did I full system wipe and it still remains.

Go into Settings -> Applications, choose Contacts and clear data. You may need to force stop first and restart afterward.

Manage Applications crashing?

On two different roms that I've tried now (Fresh and DC 2.06) after a bit, clicking "Manage Applications" causes the Settings app to crash. How do I stop this? It's driving me crazy!

Did you do a wipe before flashing the ROMs?
Yep, wipe/factory reset, and wipe sd:ext.

Wipe Dalvik cache too and try again. I'm not having those issues, and that's how I did it.
Edit: I'd rewipe everything, then reflash, honestly.

FWIW, I wipe everything before flashing any new or updated rom. I rarely have gotten more than 2 operations out of "manage applications" (ie. clear data, force close) before the applications menu fc's. It's gotten a little better with adjusting the minfree settings down a bit but it hasn't happened since regawmod 2.0.2p
I did wipe everything, dalvik included.
@Nebenezer, not sure what you're saying...I'm new to all this.
Bump
and also, if I went back to the stock Sprint RUU ROM, would facebook sync work? Or is this a problem across the board and unrelated to the ROM?
I have the same issue, running Fresh 2.0d and Manage Applications FC's. Did a complete wipe prior to flashing and it worked before... Maybe something to do wits amount of installed apps or apps2sd?

No, it would not. This is a BUG THAT HTC NEEDS TO FIX BEFORE RELEASING
I used an uninstall app to remove things. BTW I cleared my Dalvik Cache and problem was solved.

[Q] Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I've looked everywhere for an answer and i cannot find one,
I have a rooted Nexus 4 with Franco Kernel and Xylon ROM on giffgaff
Whenever i receive a call i cannot answer it because this message shows up and i have to click 'OK' which hangs up, also at the end of outbound calls it shows this message.
This message only occurs when i call/ get called.
I have tried clearing the data from 'Phone' with no avail, also updated my ROM and Kernel. I have reset my Mobile Networks/Access Point Names to default but still this problem occurs. I will be grateful if anyone help and fixes this, Thanks
Hi, I had this problem too and searching around I found a solution that fixed this problem twice for me:
Go to settings -> applications -> all and go to Phone. Clear data & clear cache. Do the same thing with Phone/Messaging Storage apk. You will loose your contacts but it fixed it.
I have my phone contacts sync with my google account so in 10 secs my address book was back and no more "process" problem.
Apparently some kind of corrupted contact causes this, so every time the phone tries to access your contacts and match the phone number, the process crashes.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Ive cleared the Phone data but Phone/Messaging Storage is all blanked out so i cannot click on it? :/ Any ideas?

Were you able to clear your address book? In the end it seems that is what fixes it. Try to delete all your contacts and reboot. Than you can tell if it helps. As far as I know, the next option is to factory reset. That's what I did the first time I got the error, but later it came back because of some bad contact. And if you do that test it by calling yourself from another phone before adding contacts.

I have cleared all my contacts manually and rebooted the phone but still it comes up with the message, Im thinking that i need to clear the data from Phone/Message Storage but i probably clicked force stop on it before and i need to 'Start' it again.
I would just factory reset and flash the rom again.
Honestly i havent got a clue what happened but i did a factory reset and my custom Kernel and ROM were still there and i tried calling myself and it fixed it, somehow :/ Thanks guys

Redownload and reflash the ROM including Gapps, if it still doesn't work then try a different ROM. Make sure you re-download the ROM though, since you may be getting this error due to corruption that occurred when it was downloaded.
Edit:
Oh you fixed it. Never mind.
There's a chance my error started because I flashed the. 33 radio after the ROM and gapps. The correct way is first the radio, than RoM, than gapps. I don't know if that's your case, but be aware of that.
have this occasionally on cm10.1 flashing different nightlies.

This problem is mainly caused by corrupt or incompatible APN predefined settings. Try clearing all of them and just using the one you need.
To speed up the process, navigate closing the error as many times as required to the apn list, and once in the list, toggle airplane mode ON, that will stop the force close to show up, now delete all the entries, and toggle off airplane mode.

First thank you for the fast response.
I have just updating my rom (from cm 10 to cm 10.1) and when the system starts after the end of booting the error appears.
I have activated the airplane mode and no changes the error is continuing and when I go to settings --> the press on more in networks it says: "unfortunately the process com.android.settings has stopped".

Then it's one app that you got installed. Try removing any non essential apps.

Play store FC when i use update all apps

Is anybody else experiencing this issue. I try clearing cache but still does it. Is annoying as i have to go back and update every app manually. I'm on stock 4.4.2 no root.

Clear Play Store and Google Services Framework data, and reboot. Is it fixed?
I'll try that and report back when i get more apps to update.
No that didn't fix it. I also tried uninstalling the play store updates. I'm currently using ART instead of Dalvik, although i did revert back to Dalvik once and still fail. I'm planning on rooting the phone so maybe when it gets restore back to factory it will get fix. Thanks for the tips anyway

[Q] Random app crashes on Lollipop (OA8)

I upgraded my VZW S5 from 4.4 (NK2) to muniz's stock, rooted 5.0 (OA8), with the wifi tether hack. Ever since the upgrade, some apps will randomly crash - I can recall contacts, Pandora, and the March Madness apps all giving me the "Unfortunately, XXXX has stopped" popup.
I wanted to know if anyone else has had these issues, and if this is a known issue w/ OA8. For Pandora and the March madness App, I have tried to uninstall and reinstall. I have also tried to clear data on the apps that have crashed, and have tried to perform a battery pull. Unfortunately, these methods don't seem to resolve the issue.
If anyone else has experienced these issues, and/or has a potential fix for these random crashes, it would be greatly appreciated. I am hoping that i don't have to reflash everything, but it's more important to me that I get my phone working without these random crashes.

I have the same problem. I get random app FC's and the system becomes sluggish after being on for a few days.

I got tired of the random FC's so I reverted back to 4.4.4. I am now running Rick's ROM (NK2).

Did you wipe everything but your SD card before install and do a factory reset after, then flash the OA8 kernel? Also, sometimes, if you go into application settings, force stop, clear data and start again, it will help... this has been an issue with contacts, but the cleared data will clear it up.
When going from NK2 to OA8, don't restore programs, since OA8 ART is so different. Just reinstall the programs and allow Google to restore your data.

Yes - I did a full wipe and did not restore any programs. I also tried the force stop/clear data method that you mentioned but the random FC's kept coming back.
I'm back on 4.4.4 (NK2) and, thus far, no issues w/ the FC's.

muniz just posted the 0C4 update to LP that just rolled out. Maybe it will work better for you?

Contacts has stopped on J5 2016

Everytime I open my dialer app, it keeps closing. Then I tried some methods like clearing up the data but still it stopped. I also noticed when I clear the data and open the app, when I press the favourites and contacts section on the dialer app it trigger to stop. Does anyone have a fix on this?
Reflash the Sec_Contacts app in priv-app (i think) and wipe cache and dalvik
Is this safe?
If you are not rooted, just do fact9ry reset
My phone is rooted then I tried but nothing happen. Still the same..

Just reflash the stock rom,simple
I found the solution. It's all about the Xposed Installer. There's a bug on Flat Style Color Bars, maybe it needs update on their module..
