Hi,
I am having a lot of problems with my Galaxy SL (I9003DDKA5) which I purchased in May 2011.
I cannot access most of the apps(all the games, the Youtube app, Twitter, Facebook, the Playstation app, Imdb, google plus, home switcher etc, etc.) A stopped unexpectedly report is displayed when I try to open any applications except for the factory ones. Whenever i try to install any applications, even an update to the Facebook application I cannot access, a application not signed correctly message is displayed.
I deleted the Facebook application and removed most of my widgets. Then i rebooted the phone, and when it was back up, the facebook application was back and all those applications also. Further, every time i reset, there is an alarm for 2:30 PM on Tuesday that is set automatically. I don't remember setting this at any point of time and I delete it when I boot up but whenever the phone is rebooted, this alarm is back. Also, the phone keeps vibrating the way it does every time there is a force close message even though there isn't any.
All I am effectively able to do is make calls, text and use the browser. Also the Battery Notifier app still functions, as does the Captivate Keep Alive and Load monitor which have solved the freezing problem that has been plaguing me ever since I got this phone.
I have been facing these problems since yesterday afternoon
Can you guys please help me out? Do remember that I cannot install any apps from the Market. Will anything short of a factory reset help me at this time?
Thanks.

I really like my Rezound but it seems like the built-in task killer is killing off all of my apps that need sync and/or push notifications. I saw that the OTA update was set to fix that it was killing off email syncs, and it did fix that, my email app syncs all the time now.
However, my facebook widget, facebook messenger app, yahoo messenger app, yahoo mail app; they work fine for about 8-10 hours, then after that they just dont update anymore at all. When a new email hits my yahoo account, it stops getting push notifications, when someone sends me a new facebook message, my facebook messenger app doesnt get the notification, etc. This really sucks. The only way I've been able to get them to work again is, every morning after waking up, I have to power down and restart the phone 2 or 3 times to get them all back working. But usually by the end of my day, they've all stopped again.
Any ideas?

Anybody experience this too?
Do you mean the HTC power management scheme? Because I don't remember a task-killer being installed.. Forgive me if there is because I haven't seen stock since about a week after I got the phone. Maybe try setting the power management to performance mode and grabbing an app like Juice Defender that's a bit more customizable.
To piggyback on what MrSmith said (speaking from personal experience), if your battery gets to the point where your phone goes into power save mode, background data and/or auto sync may be turning off, and it doesn't always turn back on.

Mine is in Performance mode. Gingerbread comes with a task manager built in. One of the big issues that the OTA update fixed was the fact that the built-in task manager was killing off the email sync in the background (according to the official description of the update).
I'm assuming that the task manager is auto-killing a lot of stuff as well too. My facebook widget almost never updates after a few hours after rebooting.
I'm still on 100% stock. I guess at some point I'll unlock the bootloader, root it, and go with a new ROM. I'm not real familiar with the process for doing that with an HTC. I came from the Samsung Galaxy S world. It was so much easier to root and switch ROMs, etc.
Hello, my Atrix 4G (MB860, Android 2.3.6, 4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.US) got new problem, currently the biggest (it's really worth than one day on battery working or error updating on 4.5.145 firmware). Phone is unlocked, rooted.
The full error that reads is:
"The application Contacts Storage (process com.motorola.contacts) has stopped unexpectedly Please try again."
Then I get a Force Close.
This error appears after viewing a contact or trying to add a new one. It makes really hard to call on contacts second or third number...
I did some internet searching, and what comes up most often is people having frozen some application (usually Yahoo Mail). I haven't frozen anything before it stopped working.
It all happened today after couple of app updates (Endomondo Sports Tracker, Evernote, Hex Editor, Lan plugin for Total Commander, Skype, Smart Compass, Speedtest, Winamp, Yandex Navigator, Lookout Security), Lookout Security is already uninstalled.
More internet searching led me to an answer that seems to help most people: replacing the files in /system/app:
blur_yahoo.apk
blur_yahoo.odex
YahooContacts.apk
YahooContacts.odex
Mine weren't missing, but I went ahead and got the Linux 2.3.6 versions of those files, copied them over, changed the permissions to 644 and the owner/group to root, power booted (battery out), and no good.
Another suggestion was renaming the two BlurContactsSync files to *.bak. Did that, then reboot... no change.
Also tried to use "ExDialer & Contacts" it's getting the same error when adding contact but gives ability to view contact.
The last thing I did was a complete restore of all apps and data with Titanium from a backup back when I know contacts was working. Reboot. No fix.
I'm now at a complete loss. Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
Go into cwm and fix permissions, then clear cache and reboot. Once rom booted, go to settings and clear contacts app's data. That worked for me, althrough i lost all contacts, i synced them again

Problem in Endomondo
I too got the same error message as you, and also like you I have Endomondo. But I have Android version 2.3.5 and it is NOT rooted, just out of the box operating system settings.
I tried clearing the data first for Endomondo under "Manage Apps" but that didn't help. Then I uninstalled it and cycled power on the phone and when it came back up I could look at the contacts. Yey!:laugh:
Let me know if this helps.
Hi I've been searching for this for a while now but no luck...
So I have two Android phones, let's say one S2 and one S3, and both have the same Google account, same Facebook account, Instagram, etc, but each has a Sim from a different provider. So sometimes I want to have both with me, sometimes I want to have only the S2 and others only the S3.
The problem is that when I'm at home or have both with me I really don't need both to start going off about the same email or Facebook update, and disabling notifications for some of those apps in only one phone has to be done under Applications in Settings because they Sync notifications settings across the account (Facebook does this), anyways using this approach would be very time consuming every time you would want to switch the phone that gets notifications. Now Cyanogen is known to have the profiles menu that can group apps and I believe turn off notifications for groups of apps with one touch. But I'm running stock on both..
I wanted to know if there is an App out there that can do something like this, group apps and disable notifications for that group with one touch. It would be even better if let's say you were actually using one of the phones and it would automatically know this disable notifications on the other or even geofence your home so that you can set what phone or device actually goes off when you are at home.
My wife recently reported that her Galaxy Tab was running slow. Sure enough it was being unresponsive and kept hanging.
I have done a factory reset and reloaded the apps. The problem one seems to be the Twitter app.
If you open it it prompts you for the username and password of the Twitter account. It then opens - frezzes - and after five minutes it closes again. It never gets any further.
If you look at application manager you can see that it starts running, closes, starts, etc etc.
Has anyone else had this problem and solved it.
I even tried factory reset, downloading ONLY twitter from the play store, and this behaviour still happens. In other words, it can't be conflicting with another downloaded app, but the Stock apps from Samsung or the Andriod opp system.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello,
Xperia M5
Android 6.0
Rooted
No users apps running in the background. Ram is free. Storage memories are abundant.
But I am getting Unfortunately xxxxx has stopped for specific apps only.
Phone Dialer. When I try to pull out number pad for dialing, it crashes. . I have to save the number through 'Contacts' first, then dial. The 'Contacts' app itself works. I can browse through saved contacts and dial them. But when I try to bring the Dialler it gives me the error message. 'Unfortunately the contact has stoped'.
Messages (sms app)
Firefox
Naked Browser
Maxthon
Opera
Certain banking apps.
These crash when I try to run them. I have tried force stop, clear cache, clear Data, uninstall, reinstall. Nothing works.
They did not stop working all at once.
First the Phone Dialer started doing this. Other apps were working. Then after 3 months sms 'Messages' system app started crashing. Then slowly after 2 month one by one the others above mentioned apps started crashing.
Games, Audio, music, playstore, youtube, file browser, albums, camera, all these things are still working without errors.
I believe there is a specific reason for this, that you experts might know a solution to.
Please let me know.
Thank you.
Anyone has got the solution?
Now the Gmail app, and create account window that appears when i want to add a google account also crashes. I mean vanishes within fraction of second.
