Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped working...

     Does anyone know how to get this to stop happening on my Samsung Galaxy S3? I had one before, this is my second one and I just got it but that's all it does when I try to view my contacts.
I have tried clearing the cache and what not (tips I found online) but NOTHING seems to be working.
Also, has anyone used Alliancerom on this type of phone?! The one I bought is "rooted" with it and I'm completely lost!!!

    kimbo2985,
This sounds frustrating! I'm sure you have contacts that you need to access.  The phone that you purchased is currently rooted?  Rooting your phone may cause software malfunctions such as this, which is why it voids the manufacturer's warranty.  However, have you tied a hard reset on the device? http://vz.to/1yGhlN2
This could potentially help resolve the issue.  If the contacts application is still malfuntioning you can look into utilizing a 3rd party "contacts" application.
I hope this information helps! Let us know if you need anythig.

  • Samsung Note 4 keeps saying "unfortunately, contacts has stopped working"  How do I fix this?

    Very frustrating.  I lose phone calls and texts when this happens.  Please help.

        Denb15,
    I wish the issue was going to be as easy to identify as a system rollout! I know you must be extremely worried about having a brand new phone acting this way. Do you get this error message every time you're on a phone call? What kinds of actions prompt the error to pop up and how often is it happening? Share details so we can help find a fix!
    Also, Verizon Wireless does have a 14 day worry free guarantee time frame I want to make you aware of. You would be able to exchange your current Note 4 for another of the same make/model at no charge within that time frame. After the 14 days has been exceeded we can still replace the phone if we need to, but it would be with a Certified Like New Replacement. http://vz.to/1hJXRR0 .

    The last several days I have not been able to access the dial pad.  When I go to phone a pop up appears that says "unfortunatly contacts has stopped working."  To remove the pop up you have to hit 'ok', the it goes back to the home screen.  This also happens when I go to contacts.

  • Unfortunately, Bluetooth has stopped working message

    Hello, Two weeks ago I bought a pair of wireless headphones to use with my Samsung Galaxy S5. Up until Saturday night everything worked fine. On Saturday night I received a message stating ‘Unfortunately, Bluetooth has stopped’ this message appears every couple of minutes and I can only stop the message from appearing by turning the Bluetooth off. I have tried clearing the Bluetooth cache and restarting the phone but the message continues to come up. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Interested in how this turns out. My Bluetooth started playing up on Saturday as well, so very odd they all started failing around the same time. If I was to take a stab in the dark I'd say it's a glitch with the OS that Samsung/Telstra need to get on top of ASAP. 
    So far, so good. Bluetooth is working correctly with two of my devices, namely my car's head unit and my Pebble watch. As a side note, Samsung's Smart Switch leaves a lot to be desired as a backup and restore application.  All up, I think it took me about 4 or 5 hours to reinstall and resync all my data - maps, podcasts, ref material.  I trust that the reset has solved the problem once and for all, but reading some other forums I note the outcome is good for a limited time before it needs doing again.  Other forums also suggest it's a known issue with Samsung/Lollipop that requires addressing. I thought an earlier poster was on to something when I saw the last update date of the Telstra app was 29/7, but that's probably coincidence.  I think I average about 4 or 5 app updates on any given day, making it hard to pin down to any one app. Needless to say, I shall be monitoring the situation more closely for a while.  

  • Unfortunately contacts has stopped running.

    It's been about 3 weeks and I can't access my contacts.  I have to send a text then use the option to call the person from my text ap.  This is annoying .... even more than my $800.00 monthly verizon bill is!!!! Plus now my android mini pad won't charge or turn on.  Why is vzw equipment so awful!  I always said I'd never use an iPhone but this has me thinking of that or just get a land line and call it a wrap.
    Can anyone help me? If done the hard reset I've don't the removing and re adding my Gmail accounct... i have a Note 3 that's I can't use!!!

  • How to resolve "Contacts has stopped" and "Sync experiencing problems" after ICS upgrade?

    After receiving the Droid Bionic operating system upgrade yesterday, my phone has lost its record of all my contacts, is unable to retrieve them from Vzn Backup, won't synch with my gmail contacts, and won't even allow me to dial phone calls.  Does anyone know how to resolve this?
    I'm getting the error message when I tap the People or Phone icons:
    Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped.
    When I go to Accounts & Sync, I get a Sync error, and the message
    Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly. 
    (I have been getting that message since yesterday.)
    And under Settings > Backup Assistant+ Contacts, when I tell it to Synch Now,
    Unfortunately, Backup Assistant+ Contacts Client has stopped.
    I tried the Verizon chat service, and was very frustrated to be told that I either have to call Tech Support (hard to do when your phone won't dial!!!), or go to a store for them to fix it in person.

    Good to find this forum on Android issues... Thanks Verizon!
        I also started getting the 'Unfortunately, contacts has stopped' after the new OS update. I want to add my 2 cents since I found a very different fix (after trying the other stuff)...
    My "contacts stopped" problem seemed to come and go, but actually I think it was more subtle, at least in my case, only affecting some of my contacts but not others... When I finally got tired of putting up with it, I tried a number of Power-Offs, hoping to clean up something (hey, it often works for Microsoft OS). At this point, I noticed that some contacts would get the errors but not others. Then I found this forum, and I was optimistic that the clearance of the cache data would fix it, as it had for others... but not so lucky, in my case.
       FINALLY, I decided to take a look at my Google contacts online. There were any number of duplicates that I don't recall creating. Perhaps emails or phone calls occasionally produce some of these? There were also a few contacts that I did not recognize at all (maybe due to the same causes?). SO, I cleaned up the online version of my contacts, went back to my phone, and now the contacts are no longer "stopped"!
       I hope this can help someone. I wish I had thought of it earlier.

  • Why do I keep getting an error message that my contacts have stopped working

    Sometimes, I am getting an error message that says that my contacts have quit working. Also sometimes I can't use my phone because the same error message appears when I tap the phone icon.
    Turning the phone off and on again sometimes helps, other times not.
    I tried a reboot, but that did not seem to make any difference.
    Help? Ideas?
    Thanks!

    I have a similar experience with getting the message that my contacts have stopped. Here is my experience in resolving the issue.
    1. Phone: Motorola RAZR MAXX HD  24 GB of 32 GB free.
    2. OS; Android 4.4.2
    3. Message "Unfortunately, contacts has stopped"
    4. Possible cause: Contacts stops working when either Verizon Cloud or Backup Assistant try to synchronize with their respective online storage systems.  Also, neither APP managed to properly identify all my contacts. Cloud only backed up 13 of over 600 contacts. Backup Assistant Plus only backup up 360 of over 600 contacts.
    5. Resolution: I disabled both APPs after clearing their respective cache and data. Then I cleared the data and cache for Contacts. Assuming your have a Gmail account for your Android device, Google will repopulate your contacts from the web based email account. So, nothing is lost and no damage is done. This was my experience.
    6. Lesson learned: On my phone, and perhaps others, the Cloud and Backup Assistant are corrupted, or have bugs, and produce errors which interfere with the operation of Contacts when they try to synchronize, even imperfectly.  Clearing the data from Contacts, and disabling the two Verizon APPS, resulted in restoration of the Contacts function.
    7. Verizon's response: Verizon technical support pronounced itself mystified by the information presented here. So far, after two days, they have not responded with either a diagnosis or a fix. 
    8. My Expectations: I don't really expect Verizon to do anything at this point. I do have working contacts, and they are preserved via my Gmail account, so I have a working solution. It just doesn't involve Verizon software.

  • The disk drive in my iMac 8,1 has stopped working, so I now use an LG 8x Slim Portable that works.  However, every time I use the LG drive, I lose contact with my Time Machine back-up drive that has to be deleted and reinstalled.  Help!

    It's not Logic that can't find them, it's your Komplete apps, though if you did exaclty as you say I can see no reason why they can't.
    Do you know where the apps installed them in the first place? I chose a non-standard locarion for mine, but I'm sure it installs sounds to your documents folder/native instruments/name of app.
    Go into the prefs of each app and choose the library location button on the library tab and point it to the relevant folder in documents/native instruments and see if that works

  • Using PSE8 on a Mac, OS10.94. Error message "Licensing for this product has stopped working." Error 150:30 Followed all of Adobe's suggestions for the fix, nothing works. I need to know how to make this software work again. I also need contact details for

    What, you want all that AGAIN?
    Windows here I come ...

    Unfortunately when Adobe products are restored from backup, especial CS4 and especially Mac, it breaks licensing.
    There is a python script included in the license recovery kit that should work if you are familiar with Terminal.
    If not, you must reinstall your CS4 suite.  You don't need to delete your preferences, so it should be the same as before.

  • Just updated my mac from Tiger to Mountain Lion. Loaded Photoshop elements 11 (brand new in the box) and when I try to start it - it comes up saying - Licensing for the product has stopped working contact for help.

    I just updated my mac from Tiger to Mountain Lion.  wiped the computer clean and started fresh Loaded Photoshop elements 11 (brand new in the box) and when I try to start it - it comes up saying - Licensing for the product has stopped working contact for help. in Looking for help I was directed here. what do I do?

    I don't know enough to not follow directions. I bought the software brand new in a sealed from factory box. Had it sitting around until - last week when I deleted flash on my computer and had to upgrade to the new OSX. Mountain Lion doesn't use iPhoto - so I had to go with something else. Since I already had this new - unopened package  I opened it up. Shut down all running programs - inserted the disk and followed all the directions for installation.  Still it didn't work.
    I have now uninstalled it (the proper way) and am going to try again.
    I appreciate your responses.
    Thank you!
    If this doesn't work - I am going to just buy Lightroom.

  • Error Message: Unfortunately Xperia Home has stopped working

    I have had my Z3 for nearly 3 weeks now and until this morning all was working well - loved the phone! 
    2 things happened this morning (may be connected).
    On first trying to use the phone (from it being asleep overnight) the screen froze and it would do nothing.  I left it a few minutes (so it went back to sleep again) and all appeared then to be fine.  I did a restart.
    A little later (no more than 90mins) I found the phone to be showing an error message - Unfortunately Xperia Home has stopped working - (OK).   On clicking OK, message appeared again, and again and again. I tried rebooting the phone and hoped this would clear the error. It didn't.  I was, however, by a very round about route able to get on-line. 
    Swipe down to quick settings
    Settings
    Change home screen to simple
    Error message still came up but would go once I clicked OK. I managed to get online and did a search for the error - found this thread:
    http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-J/Unfortunately-Xperia-Home-has-stopped-Working/td-p/720607 
    I had a system update that had downloaded and was ready to install, so before trying to clear all the data on xperia home (as suggested in the thread - Apps - All - Xperia Home - clear data) I ran the update.  This didn't clear the error - Xperia home has stopped working. 
    So, I followed the instructions on the thread above ie, all apps, xperia home, clear data. (It doesn't actually clear all the data, your accounts, passwords etc are all left intact. However, it does clear your home screens of all settings and personalisation (although it didn't change my background).  
    Touch wood, the phone now seems to be OK (having reset my home screens.
    Having been an xperia user for a number of years (I loved my Z and had no problems with it and actually delayed upgrading) I am extremely disappointed that this flagship phone should start giving error messages such as this, particularly after only 3 weeks of use.  I only hope that this is the last time I see this message!
    At least am tech savvy enough to have been able to circumvent the error, get online, find a solution quickly and sort the problem out - all done in the space of 40mins on the way to work!!   
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Does Sony have any answers as to why this has occurred?
    Hope this all makes sense!!

  • Changed battery in laptop and now when trying to open dreamweaver cs3, I get "licensing for this product has stopped working"... contact customer support (thats a laugh).  So what now?

    Changed battery in laptop and now when trying to open dreamweaver cs3, I get "licensing for this product has stopped working"... contact customer support (thats a laugh).  So what now?
    it says:  You cannot use this product at this time.  You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT admin or Adobe customer support for help.
    Well it seems I am only able to install this on a maximum of 3 computers so if I uninstall and reinstall I may have used up all three.  What caused this in the first place?

    And most licenses extend to 2 machines; not 3.  Your computer's clock probably reset when you changed batteries. Is your computer's clock set to the correct date and time now?
