I woke up this morning and tried making a call so I hit the green dial app icon and instantly get the message:
'Unfortunately Contacts has stopped working.. and it closes it'
I am pretty IT savvy so I googled the heck out of the issue. Here are the things I have tried.
I started by going into Settings > Storage > Applications and cleared Data/Cache of several contacts related apps.
I disabled the Google + app completely.
I disabled all contacts syncing of all accounts and re-enabled.
I made sure all apps are fully updated, even though when the problem first started all apps were out of date. Additionally, firmware is fully updated.
Finally, I held volume up, power, and home button and wiped android cache partition.
Are there any other ideas? All of the Google posts I see are from this summer, I am wondering if this is a new issue in November that no one has a resolved yet.

I have noticed some really weird things with my new Nexus 7. First, there has been a few random reboots. Once this morning when I woke the device out of sleep, but after that it has not rebooted. Second, when reloading all my apps after initial setup it would halt the download as soon as the screen turned off. So I thought most of my apps had re-installed so I powered it off for the afternoon. Upon powering it on tonight, my device is downloading and installing everything again! However this time it is doing it even when the screen is turned off.. And finally even though my tablet has 4.3, it says there is an update to 4.3? I haven't tried installing this 'update' yet since I wanted to see how stable the device would be and get all my other apps installed.

That update to 4.3 is just a... spruce up to say in the simplest way. It's just to fix minor bugs, optimize your tablet etc.
Sounds like you may have an app that isn't agreeing with your tablet. It also sounds like that your tablet is trying to auto-restore apps that you backed up to your Google account.
If you want to disable the auto-restore it is:
Settings > Backup & Reset > Uncheck "Automatic restore"
Also, the apps that are auto downloading might also be from Google play's auto update which they've hid a little bit more in the newer version of Google play. If you want to disable that too it is:
Google Play app > Settings > Auto-update apps > select the radio dot "Do not auto-update apps"
I know downloading a bunch of things in general (i.e., large files, video files etc.) tends to cause most android devices to auto reboot. All these restores might be doing that? I hope someone with more experience will be better to assist you.
Hope that helps some. Good luck :good:
Sounds like a battery saver is killing your WiFi when the screen is off. I think there is even a setting in advanced WiFi options. Android pulls lots of settings from previous devices, perhaps it switched it to turn off when screen is off.
Also, the rebooting initially seems common. Mine rebooted randomly twice that I can tell. I only knew from looking at the Up time in Settings>Status. Since then I'm over 90 hours.
So keep an eye on it if your concerned. It shouldn't turn off the device, just a soft reboot. Googles been updating there core apps, so maybe it was something with old versions of Currents or Maps making it reboot. Mine seems stable after the first couple days. I also unlocked = full wipe, which some say has helped with reboots. If its an ongoing issue, or causing problems, or rebooting frequently during use, I'd exchange it.

So I had this lovely pop up on my phone last night. The message was "Unfortunately, S Health has stopped" along with the "OK" button. The kicker was that after clearing it, it would pop back up after a few seconds. I cleared the cache to no avail. I rebooted to just have it pop back up after it fully loaded all the apps. Battery pull rendered the same results.
My phone is all stock - with no crazy updates or recent app downloads that I could point to as potentially causing the issue.
I did find one resolution - I thought I'd mention it here in case others find themselves in this situation. Between clearing the pop up message - work your way to the Settings->Applications->Application Manager. From there - scroll down to S Health and once selected you can turn it off.
Now - I kind of liked having the pedometer - so I was trying to get it up and running again without doing a factor reset. I found that clearing the app data, deleting cache and uninstalling the update did the trick. I had to do it 2 times with reboots after clearing out all the data before it ultimately came back without issues. I had to recreate my profile again and historical data seems to have been lost.
I'm not sure if there might have been a better way to do it - but just thought I'd mention this issue here.
I have been getting "calender storage stopped" error messages since updating to 5.0.1 on my Note 4.
Non stop. All day.
I'll get it at least 10 times a day.
Then my calender will be empty.
All my appointments will not show.
it'll be blank.
Then it'll resolve itself and start working again.
Then randomly turn off.
This is a major issue for me because I have 2 calenders. My personal and my work.
With it constantly killing itself, im not getting reminders.
I could miss meetings!!
I have tried clearing Data and Cache a million times.
Does not help.
I do have Calender Event Reminder installed. But I had this installed from previous OS version and didn't have issues.
I started getting issues the moment I upgraded to 5.0.1
Please help.
Hi, I have a Galaxy S10+ on Verizon in the USA.
Having a few major problems that I just can't figure out:
1. When I try to download apps from the Play store, the download gets to 99 or 100% but never completes the installation. The fix is to go into settings/apps/show system apps/download manager and "force stop." Then the installation will complete.
2. Some apps don't work correctly. For example the CBS Radio News app starts streaming audio, then stops a few seconds later. And the ParKing app sometimes records my location upon disconnection from my car's bluetooth, and sometimes it doesn't.
3. Notifications from all apps are totally unreliable. Sometimes they'll come right away. Sometimes not for hours, and sometimes all at once. And sometimes when tapping on a notification it will bring you into the app. while sometimes it will do nothing.
WHAT I TRIED:
Tried rebooting, clearing data and cache on problem apps.
Cleared data and cache on "Google", Google Play Store and google play services.
Cleared phone's cache partition.
Uninstalled and reinstalled broken apps.
I THOUGHT I FOUND THE SOLUTION:
All these problems went away a month or so ago when I logged out of my google account on the phone. Iogged back in and it all worked great! I thought the problem was solved, but now it's all happening again. Logged of the the google account and back in, but it's still broken this time.
AND:
I had similar problems with my Galaxy S7, and thought the new phone would fix these problems! Is it possible there's something wrong with my google account? How could I have the same problems on both phones?
I haven't yet tried a factory reboot on the S10+, but I did do it on the S7, and after working for a while, the problems came back.
Additional info:
Mobile data and wifi have strong signals.
No custom ROMs, not rooted or anything, just stock the way it came. Only downloaded apps from Play Store. Nothing sideloaded.
All battery optimization is turned off. Power mode set to "high performance."
I've looked everywhere for a solution and have come here to the ultimate experts. You're my last hope!
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
I'm having a bunch of problems, most of it seems to be related, but i'm not sure. I was having these problems in android 9, and they persisted after i made the update to 10.
The main problem is that I cannot update or install the apps from Google Play store reliably. The download gets stucked with 'Download pending' or somewhere between 90-99%. My connection is fine, no network problems whatsoever. The same problem happens in many wifi networks and in mobile connection. Sometimes, after rebooting the phone a lot of times, i can install 1 or 2 apps before getting stuck again.
I tried to force stop/wipe data from download manager, google play services, google play store and did not help. In fact, now is buggier than ever, and i got a permanent play store notification with a never ending progress bar saying "Concluindo a configuração" (portuguese for finishing configuration).
Other minor issues:
a lot of times I do not get any messages/notifications until I unlock my phone. My whatsapp web stop working, then I unlock my phone and start to receive 4875389475 messages.
Sometimes google app notify me of some news, i click the notification and nothing happens. HOURS LATER, the news shows up in my screen when i'm doing something else.
The Google Calendar widget does not show the content on the home screen (keeps saying 'loading'), but if I open the app, it works ok (inside the app, not in the widget).
I can't sync time with my carrier (always worked on every phone). But time is correct, nonetheless
Anyone having problems like these? Any solution? I don't know more what to do =(
Try doing any one or all of these depending on if one fixes it over the other:
1. Boot into recovery mode (power + volume up + bixby buttons) and do a factory data reset. This will erase everything on the phone.
2. No dice? Find out your bootloader version and flash the stock firmware you're on with Odin. This will also erase everything on the phone.
3. Still nothing? Well then it's time to claim warranty!
