  • 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.

  • 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!!!

    I appreciate all the troubleshooting you have done Tammarav! I have sent you a private message so we can further assist.

  • 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 .

  • 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.

    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.

Can you give me permanent solution for this issue?

    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.

  • HTC Thunderbolt ICS upgrade:  Unfortunately, mail has stopped.

    Ever since the forced ICS "upgrade", the mail application has refused  to work with the message "Unfortunately, mail has stopped."  That's it, no other messages or hints.  It's been working fine for almost two years.  A year ago, we changed email servers to the Microsoft Office365 service with activesync.  It's been working great, until the "upgrade".
    The phone has been re-booted several times, the email account was removed, mail and contacts deleted, phone re-booted, mail account re-configured. Still doesn't work.  The mail icon shows that we have unread messages, but when we start the application, we immediately get the error and the app stops.
    How do we fix this?  We can't delete the stock Verizon application and re-install.  Email was a main reason for buying the 4G TB with a large screen, now we can't work?
    Thanks, M

        53dville, I agree that email is a major function of the phone and want to make sure that yours is working well. When you receive these types of error messages, normally clearing the cache from the application will resolve the issue. To do this, go to Settings, Apps. Select All then scroll down to Email (or Mail) and choose Force close, then clear data and cache. This should allow you to setup the email account again. If you're still having issues, a factory reset would be the next step. This will reset the phone to factory default settings. You'll need to make sure that contacts are backed up and media saved on SD card. http://vz.to/YLGYwt
    Let me know if you need further assistance after this.

  • 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.

    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, 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
