[Q] Contacts Storage FC - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I froze the apps in a list via a thread here. Mainly authenticators I dont use. Everything was fine until today. Now I can't open any contact info or make calls without getting Contacts Storage (com.Motorola.contacts) force closing.
I unfroze everything and rebooted my phone but it did not fix my issue. Has anyone seen this before or can point me in the right troubleshooting direction Id appreciate it. Thanks

Figures it was the last one at the bottom I forgot. Yahoo authenticator can't be frozen or it'll FC contacts. Im sure this has been discovered already.

delete blurcontactssync.apk will solve this problem, no need to restore yahoo authenticator.

The more changes I make to blur the more problems I seem to run into. Contacts has been working fine like I said. Now I can't purchase apps from the market...tried everything. Google Support told me to factory reset. **** that. Buying new phone. So sick of this PoS

Calendar not syncing with gmail

hey guys,
I've been having a problem with my gmail calendar not syncing, which is very important to me. Not sure if anyone else has this issue. It worked for about 2 weeks then stopped. I still got email, but not sure if my contacts were syncing. I tried the manual sync in Accounts and it said it was synced, but it wasn't. No phone to gmail or gmail to phone on the calendar. I set up a multiple day event (every thursday) and that was when it stopped working.
Anyway, here's how I got it working again. I went into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications, then the ALL tab. First I opened the Calendar Sync Adapter and Clear Data. (That didn't fix it, but I'm not sure if it fixed something else, but this is all the steps I took.) Next was Calendar and Clear Data. (Still no fix). Lastly was Calendar Storage and Clear Data. I'm not sure if the last one was the important one or it was a combination of all three, but that seemed to fix it. I had to re-enter all the events that were originally inputted through my phone so you might want to write those down, but now my phone goes both ways... with gmail... haha. Hope this saves someone some time.
Oh, and I'm stock 2.2.2 not rooted.
What bloat ware have u frozen/uninstalled also you could try force stopping you calender and clearing data and reboot idk if it will do ne thing but its worth a shot
I'm unrooted stock. I haven't frozen or uninstalled any bloatware. I cleared the data and that seemed to do the trick for a day. Now I'm starting to have the same problem again. I haven't rebooted since so I guess I'll try that.

contacts not appearing correctly

i don't mind using the motoblur aspect of my atrix. it kinda bogs this beast of a phone down a little bit, but its not terrible and unusable.
My problem is this: i have signed in with facebook in motoblur and it should be showing all of my facebook friends, but for some reason it isn't showing any new friends that i add to facebook. i have tried removing my facebook association and re-added it to no avail.
has anyone else had this issue?
did you get it fixed, and if so how did you go about fixing it?

Did you freeze any system apps related to social apps, syncing, blur with Titanium? I did this and it royally screwed up my Contacts, even after thawing everything. It would not let me uninstall my blur accounts, so I backed up everything and wiped my phone clean and rebuilt. Hopefully yours was salvageable, I was ready to wipe and start over anyway so I didn't mind.

This post is not about freezing it's about the Error which I have noticed a lot of people are experiencing. Some say it's due to Google + App, I have NEVER downloaded this app and I'm experiencing this issue. Need fixes that Don't involve losing my contacts.

u revived a rllly old topic...
anyway, if u synced ur contacts with Google, there is no worry, since it backups them, so u can do those fixes and sync them back later...

I can't my contacts won't do anything. I did export them to my SD card tho, but still trying to find a fix with out the reset.
I'm also posting on Motorola Forums.
and a few other places I mean this issue seams to be a random one but still affecting a lot of people. be nice to find a fix.
Okay I got a post from another person who went thru the same issue. It seam when Hotmail wento Outllok.com it messed up something. Here is a copy of his post
"I may be on to something here. I recently installed the MS Outlook app. That's when my contacts stopped working. I uninstalled both my Hotmail and Outlook apparently and restarted the phone. The contacts still wouldn't work. For some reason, I decided to reinstall the new Outlook app. After I did that, I was able to access my contacts again!"
I did uninstall both my hotmail app and outlook.com app, Restarted (pulling battery) then it worked. I reinstalled Outlook.com and it still working. So that is how my issue got fixed. hope it helps others out.

Have to agree with Hotmail app being the problem. I have had FC problem for a while(around the same i was forced to start using the new outlook.com webmail). Uninstalling the Hotmail app fixed the issue(Also installed new Outlook app and still works). Thx!!!

[Q] Atrix - SMS Issue (Wrong Recipient)

Little frustrated with the Motorola Atrix and wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions.
I am having an issue with SMS messages going to the wrong individual or starting a second threaded conversation with the same contact even though there is only one instance of this contact and one phone number attached. It's very similar to the reported issue 9392 that was supposed to be addressed sometime a while back.
This is my second Atrix and I have experienced the problem on both handsets. My first purchase was back in April of this year and within weeks that problem started to occur. I had tried various custom ROMs and SMS applications - but they all had the same issue.
The second handset was just received this week. I have gone through and completely cleaned up any duplicate contacts and exported them all to a CSV file and re-imported in hopes of finding a culprit contact. I am syncing with Exchange 2007, but had disabled Google Contacts, MotoBlur, Blah, Blah. Now I am only syncing contacts with Google and mail and calendar with Exchange.
I have completely reset the device and running full stock ROM with no applications installed outside of what is included in the image with the phone. Since a majority of my communication is via SMS on my phone - it has become a big hassle. I just get tired of having to apologize and explain my misguided text over and over again.
I have tried several 3rd party SMS apps and all have the same issue.
Anything you guys could suggest would be greatly appreciated. The only thing that I could possibly think of that I have not done is replace the SIM card which is one I got with my first iPhone a few years back.
**Note: I have a WP7 running Mango that does not have this issue.
I'd be leaning toward a bad sim. Why don't you just go to your carrier and get a new one? AT&T has never charged me for a replacement sim. Just explain your issue and that you've tried all other avenues to correct the problem.
For the duplicate thread I was able to solve with
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210840
others said it didnt work if they were syncing facebook contacts.. I dont sync
contacts with anyone but gmail contacts.
but here is the basis of the fix that worked for me
Ok I think I solved it my last solution wasn't did not continue to work.
your contacts need to be stored / saved as
this format +12223331234 and some work with just 2223331234
but all work with the first (so far)
(111) 222-3333, +1-111-222-3333 both fail
if you look how the sms db stores them its like the format first mentioned and when using that format there are no duplicates

Well, I tried to replace both the SIM and reformatted the numbers as suggested.
However, neither of those worked - so I dug a little more and narrowed it down to Motoblur and adding accounts under it.
I did find that if I did a hard reset of my phone and then used a new email address to setup a 'New' MotoBlur account (since you can't delete or reset an existing one) and then did not add accounts under MotoBlur - the issue resolved itself.
I still added a google account and exchange account - but everything else, like facebook, I downloaded the application to avoid MotoBlur from aggregating information into.
Hope that makes some sense and thanks for the reply.

[Q] Receiving "Sync is currently experiencing problems"

Hi guys,
I just noticed recently that my DNA is giving me this error under accounts and sync. It seems like this may be a wide spread issue for all types of Android phones, but I was wondering if anyone else was seeing this. The strange this is that it looks like everything is synced properly, and even when I drill down into the actual items that are syncing, there are no errors. I'm not sure if it is the rom that I am on (UKB), but I would really like to clear it up if possible. I have tried deleting the data in Apps for the various items listed, but this does not seem to help. I even booted into recovery and cleared the cache, to no avail.
Thanks guys,
Steve
Alright, I just did a full wipe, installed UKB 1.3 with Cubed stock kernel, and I am still getting that sync error. Is anyone else seeing this?
I have had this issue on CODIS, UKB and the battery plus ROM
It syncs everything fine, but it does show a red sync icon and say its experiencing problems. I've just learned to deal with it as everything still works fine.
--removing and re-adding my google account does nothing
--unchecking each option (calendar, contacts, gmail etc.) one by one to see if a particular causes the problem,...does nothing to help
Just wanted to letyou know you are not the only one with the issue.
I'm having the issue where the gmail app syncs fine but if I read/delete emails and go back to my computer, all the changes I did on my phone didn't sync with my computer browser. Anyone know how to fix that?

I had that issue. Uninstalling and reinstalling gmail app from the market fixed it for me.
-HTC Droid DNA-
Ah, thanks for the replies guys. At least I'm not the only one . At least it's not in your face screaming at you, so I can learn to ignore it.
I'm having the sync issues myself, and I'm even on full stock ROM. Just wanted to let you know. My account is on two-step authentication - are other people also using two-step? Common denominator?

I believe that is the problem. I had an error in Google Internet sync. I fixed it by going to Google dashboard on my computer and clicking "Websites authorized to access the account." Go down to Application Specific Passwords.
Install the Google Authenticator on the DNA. Then register it by generating a new application specific 12 digit password. The Authenticator app will then generate the six digit codes you'll need when asked to be able to sync your bookmarks in the browser or sign in the Google search homepage. Anyway it worked for me.
For me it was Facebook calendar that couldn't sync. I unchecked it and the error went away. It looks like it can be any part of any of your accounts that will trigger that message. If you go into each one, it will show which one is having the problem.
