Try and go into settings - apps - all apps - find contacts app and clear the cache, reboot phone and try then.
or you can wipe if you didn't when you updated.
if you haven't wiped than you should as you might encounter more errors in the line.
@s.d.oconnor i tried it but there is no cache in contacts.
@atifsh: Can you please provide some information on wiping please.
Try clear the data in contacts first, before doing a full wipe.

You are absolutely right but if he is yet to wipe after update he should do that at once.

When you wipe, you come back to factory defaults, thus your pictures, files, bookmarks, applications, errors, problems all get wiped.
Files in external sdcard, doesn't get deleted.
Dial *2767*3855# to wipe your phone to factory defaults.

If you wipe then it will just wipe data and restore the last full firmware .
Possible My Backup Pro for backup without root but not sure check it out .

If you are still on stock rom, then your can backup your data using kies, and factory reset.

I dont know, but try to wipe messaging apk data from titanium.
If didnt help, just flash again, first try to flash again your rom over the top (dont wipe anything), if there is any problem try to wipe anything then flash (fresh install).

Thank you for your help I'm trying this tonight
Ok here it is, treat me gently as I'm no expert. I have currently running ICS 4.03 LPD + CF-Root. I first flashed 2.3.6, then jumped to Lp8 and now LPd and never have wiped my phone. I have a lot of unused apps and was thinking in doing it.
Question: Will I loose Root? or apps like CWM and such? What about the info in my external SD card? Anything else i must take into consideration?
thks in advance

You will not lose root or cwm manager as that is in the system apps. You will lose all the apps you have downloaded though. But if you have Titanium Backup, My Backup pro or Rom Toolbox, you can backup all your apps and reinstall them once you have rebooted.
[EDIT] Also wipe delvik cache when you do a data/factory reset.

ICS asked my name my gmail account etc, it then started downloading all apps but if i try to go to pass the unlock screen i get "unfortunatelly twlauncher stopped working". wow. i went over recover and deleted cache and rebooted, still the same. What should i do?

Cwm format data system internal storage dalvik.
Flash using Odin.
Went ahead and restored a backup from cwm recover. Should i try again and wipe with the code you gave?
If your backup has issues you can try.
It's a random softbrick, no changes have been made for months, so I've not backed up for ages, I want to svae contacts and messages and app data.
Will odin wipe data, can it be repaired with CWM no wipe flash?
Long version.
I've been using ICS for 4 months.
I did a wipe and fresh install on the release of the official GB ICS.
I then used clockwork mod to changle toggles and clock, then triangle away.
Things were ok until a month ago when I hit the App to SD memory bug, which was fixed be removing apps back to internal.
Again been fine for about a month.
Then today, random lock on "Samsung Galaxy s II gt-9100" screen.
No changes have been made for ages, the only change was adding on{x} today.
Whats the best way to try and get this fixed? I want to save as much data as I can, I've not backed up for a few months, as I wasn't ,making any changes.
Should I just Just use odin and see what happens, or is there a better way, even if it is longer?
Can I put a no wipe flash on my SD and use CWM to try and repair? Is this a more complicated risk move? if so whats the risk.
I'd really like to keep as much as I can 'cos I've got the perfect setup for me (besides the boot lock...)
THanks folks.

Yeah, thanks for the help anyway.
I didn't know if using CWM to flash a different rom would work.
I was hoping a no wipe rom would fix the error was and keep my apps and data.
It didn't.
I used odin to flash a base > then CWM > then resurection.
I've lost loads of data :-(
But my phones sweet
lol, you win some and you loose some.
I really should know better, as a sys admin I bollock folks all the time for not doing backups. luckily I backed up messages recently, so should also have contacs there. Just all my save games, app data, is gone

You might try going in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache, fix permissions and reboot.
Don't restore system data, and to batch restore apps you need the pro version
I just wiped the caches and nothing changed. If I reflash and restore just apps will I lose the data for the apps? Like saves etc

No, you can restore user apps and it`s data. You will not loose anything.

Yes, but you should be okay to restore data for the apps, but don't restore system data across roms.

I just reflashed and just did missing apps + data and all works fine, my save game on final fantasy 3 is still there
Good job I saved contacts to SIM or it would of been annoying, thanks everyone!
I thought I bricked it last night too lol, I was flashing "UltimaROM" and was instructed to wipe the phone with his custom installer using Super Wipe. I did that and it just froze, was making no progress at all so I turned it off. It kept rebooting over and over and wouldn't get into recovery mode for ages but it eventually did.
Can anybody answer my kernal question? Is it safe to flash a custom kernal after ROM? I only ask because I read somewhere certain kernals/rom flashing causes a "brick bug" or something

U don't it just doesn't use hypershell so you have to confirm each separate installation.

So,
As title states... if I flash JB through ODIN, will the phone reset? meaning all apps, docs, pics etc are gone?

Flashing a JB firmware via Odin will usually NOT wipe ur data. But if you upgrade from ICS to JB without a factory reset (or full wipe), you are bound to face issues like crashes, freezes, lagginess, instability and poor battery life. So, a factory reset is recommended before or after flashing JB. You can backup all ur apps, contacts, calendar entries, messages, bookmarks, notes, call log etc before flashing. Your files, photos, videos etc will be safe.

Yeah.. problem is I can't open any app cause I get the "app has unexpectedly stopped"... So I can't backup anything.. I've searched for a solution but it seems like the only option is to factory reset
When going from ICS to JB is best to TB all your stuff, go for wipes and and put in the new one. Then you can TV all your stuff back (titanium back that is)

Download Go Backup and do backup of all your phone Stuffs after that do Factory reset. You can also do Wipe Cache from recovery mode.
Good luck
