Unfortunately ..........has stopped

virtually every call i try to make i get Unfortunately contacts had stopped or com.android. phone has stopped. I have repeatedly tried to delete the cache under contacts app and even the data (wiping all my contacts) they were backed up on pc so no issue.
I have tried re boot and leaving off for a while.
This is drving me insane - i never thought i would say this but i am missing my old blackberry now.
PLease help and please do not say delete cache or re boot - believe me i have tried these repeatedly.

Also consider performing a system repair using PC Companion as this will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

After soak test update, I get error messages repeatedly. The majority are "unfortunately, messaging has stopped", but you can replace messaging with "android os", or any other process, as it happens with more than just messaging. I have had numerous people call and ask why I didn't reply to their texts...and I look, but have not received any new texts. YES, I have restarted phone. I have cleared data as well as cache on all apps. I have downloaded the vzw messaging app, which seems silly, since it happens with several different processes and apps, but all to no avail. I am missing texts from my employer, from my family. This did happen, but rarely, before this "soak test". It is now Kitkat version 19.6.3.obake_verizon.en.US. THIS is when I started having problems...like 50 times a day kind of problems! I have seen hundreds of posts all over the internet over the past 3 days. Does no one know how to fix this??? Shouldn't there be a way to revert phone to a pre-update state? and no, hard reset did NOT work!!!! I have been with verizon for well over 15 years, but I have not upgraded my lines and will not in July either. This is ridiculous. It's not like my games aren't working, it is my messaging and "android os"...my lifeline at work!

kristinaf333,
Oh no, I am sorry to hear your messages are not working since the software update. I greatlly appreciate doing all that troubleshooting to try and get the messaging application back in business. I know how much I rely on my messages so I can understand the urgency to get this resolved. Have you had a resolution ticket opened since you started experiencing issues with your messages? Does this happen with all contacts or just some? Please provide additional information to ensure we get to the bottom of this for you.

Why am I receiving the "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message and how do I fix it?

Why am I receiving the "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message and how do I fix it?

I am so upset. Please read my messages from my postings. This has nothing to do with SIM Card, Hard Reset, Apps, Google Gmail Account, nothing. I have gone thru all of this and NOTHING has fixed this. I went to the store today and spoke to the manager on duty. He said he had to try and duplicate the problem before he could help me. I showed him "screen captures" I did, told him it's out here on the board, etc. etc. Needless to say I ended up coming home with the same phone, "he" erased the phone and started over again. Well guess what, it's not a error with "MY" Gmail account being corrupted because if that is the case Mrs. Hayden14 has a bad Gmail account too. If you guessed it, the phone just crashed again! I was able this time to capture a report with ALL the history in it and saved screen captures to PROVE to him this is not a joke. Even the report says "Crash". This time it was something else I don't even or ever have used. I have also wasted over a day , yes a full work day on this without question.
I have had to get the run around for the last day. This is totally ridiculous, including them putting me on hold for 55 min. Oh, that's another funny story. Anyways, tomorrow morning I am going to the Verizon store one last and final time and I hope they decided to do the right thing and give me a phone that does not crash and works. It would be handy at work for me, especially where I work at. I hope hope hope someone listens to and helps me. I would love for them to see me walk in, take my phone and say to me were going to get you another phone, hand it to me, see if it works and prove it's the device. I don't hear anyone having this issue on other phone types so sounds like its the phone type.
I have had 3 phones now in the matter of 2 weeks. I am sure the FedEx charges will add up to a cost of a new phone at some point and start to outbalance your requirement to give me the same phone when it has the same problem.
Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow.

Just installed lollipop. Now I cannot access sounds and notifications. Says" Unfortunately, Settings has stopped". Anyone else have this problem?

Installed lollipop. Cannot access sounds and notifications in settings. Says, "Unfortunately, settings has stopped". Do not have problems accessing other display. wallpaper, etc. New update says installed successfully. Anyone else have this problem after updating?

Same here. Any help appreciated

"Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error keeps popping up and text messages are not being received on Droid Maxx I got less than 2 weeks ago.

I upgraded to a Droid Maxx about 2 weeks ago and all seemed well. Last Friday, I started receiving an "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message randomly--sometimes when I was writing a text, sometimes when I would open other apps, there was no rhyme or reason to when it would occur. Now it also appears that I am not receiving some of my texts. I called Verizon Support who told me that they are experiencing this problem on several devices and that she was going to forward me to someone for help. 20 minutes later, no one had picked up and I had to leave. So I thought I would try here to see if Verizon has come up with a fix for this, if I should get another phone, or if they are working on a software update or something. Help, I really liked this phone until now!

Hello,
I am using the messaging app that was preloaded with the phone, the green face icon. I do not have an "Android Keyboard" app, but I have cleared the cache on the "Messaging" app, several times. I have also gone to the Verizon store where an associate did a soft reboot, telling me that would work. A very short time later, the error message started appearing again--so this did not work either.
The error message comes very sporadically. Sometimes several in a few minutes, other times not for hours.

"Unfortunately, Facebook has stopped." Yes, how unfortunate.

Okay, so my phone upgraded to ICS a couple weeks ago. It's been all fine and dandy up until three days ago. All of a sudden, I get the stupid "Unfortunately, Facebook has stopped" message multiple times when I try to use the app. And Scramble with Friends was working fine, even this morning, and NOW, all of a sudden, it won't work and I get the same stupid Facebook has stopped message. What the heck???? I've tried other apps like Friendcaster Fast for Facebook, but neither of those will work either. What's going on???? I used to love my phone....pre-update!?!?!?

Hi there Sgriff!
Let's repair the love you have for your phone! I want you to have fortunate experiences with your device and applications. I will be delighted to provide some suggestions.
Generally when multiple applications have the same type of error message we want to try to find the culprit! In this case it sounds like it may be the facebook login.
Has your facebook password been changed recently?
Have you had the opportunity to uninstall the facebook application or the other apps that are connected?
Please let me know!
Thanks!

'unfortunately messaging has stopped' error

Hi all, I have bought an Xperia Z3 compact phone few days ago. And since yesterday, I get the message 'unfortunately, messaging has stopped' as soon as I try to open the messaging app. It is really annoying, as this is a basic function of a phone. I have tried restarting, force closing the app, updating with sony udpates, and clearing all data. Any ideas how to repair this?

well, It seems my problem has been solved miraculously! Here is what I did: Following some suggestion on another forum to use another app for messaging, I installed the 'GO SMS PRO' to use instead of the default messaging. The new app asked me if I wanted to have it as default instead of the 'messaging' app, and I said yes. Then by mistake I clicked again on the messaging app icon on my phone, the messaging also asked me if I wanted to use messaging app instead of the GO SMS PRO to read my messages and I said yes. AND BINGO all of a sudden the 'Messaging' app is working again! I guess moving to the new default app has changed some thing that was giving the error. Anyways, I thought to share it with you, in case someone else has the same problem

"unfortunately, email has stopped" message

Hi I owned turbo for a month. I had "unfortunately, email has stopped" message on my corporate e-mail exchange server push account. I reserch the issue and I tried (1) erace the account, (2) wipe cache partition by recovery mode (3) account resister. It made it work to normal while but I already had 3rd time in a months. Can you give me permanent solution for this issue?

Hi. My exchange server connection is push and I also set synchroize the
email once several min. No paticular opearation trigger the massage, I
think. When it happens, E mail keep acessing the server and keep popping
tye massage when email try to contact the server. After I waiped the cache
and reset all email connectin from scratch, The email sync the server
contents till the email which synced just before the massage appear. Then
start popping the massage again. It is suddenly reading again after several
wipe and settng try without any special operation. It is very anoying. Is
it SW issue or HW issue?

Unfortunately camera has stopped

Hi
My Z1 Compact camera has stopped working - I used it yesterday with no problem, but today tried to launch it today and now get a message saying "Unfortunately camera has stopped". no other camera apps work either so it must be the main camera app
Searches have made me try the following already, none of which have worked:
disabled camera app and then enabled
cleared camera cache
safe mode restart
factory reset
reinstall phone software using pc companion
deleted both internal and sd card dcim folders in case images were corrupt
There no reason why it would suddenly stop - I haven't dropped it or done anything to damage it.
Hope that switching it off overnight might help but is there anything else I should try before attempting to return under warranty?
Thanks in advance for any help...

Hi there,
Try one more time to re-install a phone software but with Sony Update Service.
Sony Update Service
Before that, make sure that your battery is charged at least 60%, also it would be advisable to backup your SD card and then completely delete everything from it(not only DCIM).
At any time you can contact your local Sony Xperia Care for further assistance.

Unfortunately Homescreen has stopped

My phone just updated this morning, I don't know if it was a verizon update or an android update. Once it restarted, I am getting the message, 'Unfortunately, Homescreen has stopped.' When I click the 'OK' button, homescreen restarts and the massage immediately pops up again. This loop is continuous. I tried restarting in Safe Mode and the same thing occurs.

I had the same problem, tried Safe mode, that didn't help. I was able to swipe right (during the second that the Homescreen was running) into Settings, then from there to 'Go to All settings' at the bottom and from there to Apps, where I proceeded to junk all sorts of apps I don't use anymore (LastPass was the most recently installed, but I junked quite a few) and after that my phone was fine. So either simply removing a single App caused something to reset or I managed to nuke the offending app.
Also, just after my install was loaded I received some message about my "SID not matching" (??) with the single option of "I feel lucky" - don't know if that was related at all.

Your SW3 should be running 5.0.2 - Just because it says Sony doesn't mean it's Sony software as the Watch is updated by Google and Android wear

Unfortunately email has stopped

I keep getting an error that says "Unfortunately email has stopped" Sometimes I am not even in my email. I have 3 email accounts set up. One is corporate work email, a gmail, and a time warner cable email account. No I am having problems getting the email to even open. I have a notification on the top of the screen but I cannot open it.

Same here. I've had a Droid Razr Maxx for a year. No recent op system updates. No new apps downloaded recently. About a week ago, phone began displaying same message "Unfortunately email has stopped" every few minutes. I have 2 gmail accounts, a corporate account, and a godaddy email account. If the email app is open (either corporate or goddaddy inbox) and the message pops up, the email app closes automatically. I think this glitch is also the reason my phone has sucked down 1.5 gb in the past 5 days because if I open settings, select data usage, then select email, the email foreground app has used 40 mb in past 7 days, but the background has used 1.63 gb. I'm almost always on wifi and have never come close to using even half a gb until now. Has something hijacked my phone? Is the email app resetting and resynching multiple times in an hour? Is this a software issue? Is this a com.motorola.motoemail issue? I've always had email accounts set to sync every 15 minutes and download attachments over wifi. Haven't changed settings in months. I just realized my battery has also been draining much more than usual. In the past, my screen used the most significant amount of battery, but now my phone says the email is using more than the screen. I am now at a loss as far as troubleshooting.
