Contacts not opening - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the galaxy S2 but, it's the SCH-R760. What happens is when I tap the contacts app my screen goes black, then pops up the message android process acore has stopped working. My phone is rooted. It's been rooted for a few months now, and this issue just started last week. Anybody have any ideas on the problem, and a fix?

Did you flash a ROM? Or tried flashing one and coming back to stock?

I have not flashed since there is no recovery that I can find for my phone. So I wouldn't know how without that.

I had skype installed, and once I removed it my contacts work again. Why would skype cause that problem?

As Skype does request to access your contact list it is proably related to that.
You might have to try setting your contacts as a default.
I noticed in the past that sometimes it would ask me if I wanted to call contacts using Skype or Phone so my assumption is that somthing with the defaults is causing it to check Skype but it is also causing it to crash

So you're guess is the default contact app got changed to skype right? That makes sense. Whenever I dailed out it asked if I wanted to use skype or the dailer. Thanks

This happened to me once. I had no choice but to delete contacts data from settings and then restore from old backups....
Everything was OK then.

[Q] MAPservicesamsung process stopped

On stock ICS with factory reset. This happens randomy a couple of times each day. Never happened on GB.
Same on my friend's phone. Any suggestions?
I had the same issue when I tried sending text messages or opened my inbox. It caused a lag of 10-15 seconds.
It seems to be related with bluetoothmap.apk.
I never use bluetooth, so I wiped the bluetooth appdata and deleted all the bluethoot apps with titanium backup (made a backup first just in case).
This fixed it for me.

Download the package file, Reflash your official rom via odin, not over kies.

I'm not sure if that will work for borchgrevink.
In my case the problem started to occur because I flashed the original rom with Odin.
For me this issue was caused by restoring data using Titanium backup for SMS. To fix you MUST never restore data this way. Instead use SMS backup and restore app.
Better still install go SMS and uninstall stock SMS app using TB for good!

Well this happened to me when upgrading to ICS without reset, and also after a factory reset.
Never happened on GB. Is it an OS bug or rogue app?

It's something to do with changes to the SMS storage database as far as I can tell.

I don't want to root either and I keep getting the same problem. Anyone who has the this should contact Samsung until they fix it, they should treat us better after we buy their expensive phone. The Chief Exec of Samsung Mobile is at [email protected] they'll fix it is a few people email in.
Just emailed [email protected] let's see if they reply back

S3 speaking on its own

Hi guys,
Just wanted some help from you guys. Suddenly i noticed that my s3 has started speaking on its own. Like when i zoom out my homescreens, it says
"Workspace 2 of 3"
When i open a folder,it says
"Folder opened "
I dont know what happened. I didnt tweak any settings and updated to the latest firmware about a week back. Until yesterday there were no voice feedbacks but all of a sudden they have started. Couldnt find any setting to turn them off either.
It is very annonying and any help would be greatly appreciated!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
That sounds like TalkBack. Disable it under Settings -> Accessibility -> TalkBack
Already disabled, still it speaks!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Have you got Light Flow installed? There is a bug with it due to Samsung/ICS kernel
Yes i did have that app installed and i guess it has happened due to that app only. However, i just uninstalled the app but it still speaks. Will try restarting the phone once and will get back to you. Thank u so much anyways.

When I do some calls. The phone just goes finish. A message appears and says that the android.phone has stopped.
I'm just root, I use the stock rom and I use Go Launcher
Help me please....
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
have you been flashing custom Roms/restoring data with tb? I suggest clearing data of the phone.apk 1st, and see if this sorts the problem
I clear the data but the message still appearing. " the process com.android.phone has stopped"

you can try a factory reset but be aware you will lose your data doing this so backup first
If I do a factory reset Is it ok if I make a backup or not ?

I'm having the same problem, but only when calling or receiving from one number in my contacts. Sometimes the call completes but with the error on the screen and a circle instead of network in the notification bar. The number never shows in call log either even though I've had a conversation or missed call.
The contact is on tesco mobile in the UK, I am on giffgaff. Both are through the O2 network.
I never have this problem with any other contacts.

Could the problem be the contacts.???. I have this problem with a contact. So I erase that name from my contacts. Then when I call the number again it goes well. Maybe there is a problem with contacts and phone ???. I really dont know.

I don't think the problem is with your rom..
Maybe your card is something wrong. Put a different sim card and check. If the problem still re-upload the rom with a full wipe

first try clearing Data/Cache of MMS app and see if it resolves ur issue, else reflash the rom without any wipes and see
So far i have:
Cleaned sms app cache and data.
Tried changing message center number.
Done full wipe and flashed another rom.
Installed handcent sms app.
Very strange, still no luck??
I have put my sim in another phone and it was able to send an sms, so it is definately phone related...

Hi I had this exact same problem a few months ago after flashing a custom ROM. To fix it had to do the following:
Flash a stock ROM
Open sms app and go onto settings
Check number in sms centre number matches your service providers number.
I ended up calling my provider for this and she talked me through it.
Sorry about vague information but it was a while ago. It is totally and easily fixable though. All the best.
