[Q] Contacts application force close problem - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been rocking my Atrix since May, everything AOK.
Then I read up on how to root my phone, and got rid of some of the bloat ware.
Just noticed when ever I try to use the dialer I can't use contracts.
When ever I open contacts and press one, it force closes the app.
But if I open google voice, then contacts I can select one and dial out.
Incoming calls work as well, but I cant figure what I may have changed that shuts down the normal dialer.
If I add a market place dialer, every thing works fine too.
How do I get the stock dialer / contacts back?
Also, if my phone is rooted, w original locked boot loader, will resetting to factory screw anything up?

Try unfreezing or re-installing Yahoo contacts authenticator. That's what did it for me, and I've seen others report the same.

Don't do a factory reset yet.
When you "got rid of the bloatware" did you freeze that stuff or delete it?...

Actually I deleted all the yahoo, etc stuff.
Do I have to go back to "Stock" to recover?
And how do I do that.
Android Recovery results in 'Failed to Boot 2"
Factory Reset does the same.
So I'm stuck in limbo it seems?

Forgot gmail account.

My not so bright friend locked himself out of his phone. He now needs to login with his gmail account, but has forgotten what his account is. Is there anything he can do? His carrier cannot do anything.
Ps I know this sounds sketchy, but it is the truth lol
fre3vo
Run the forgot username/password on gmail's site.
Any real help? You can't get your email from the site...only recover password
fre3vo
I helped a friend who got a lost epic that was locked. I somehow messed around with the recovery mode and got into the phone. Had to try it a few times, but it's worth a shot with this phone... Ill even try it now with mine. Don't wipe anything though of course... Then again shouldn't matter, can restore contacts through gmail.. Etc
Edit: now that I think about it, I dunno if itll work if he has fastboot on
Ask him what's the last email he sent with that gmail account.

If he can get to the factory recovery he can factory reset.

Maybe get a new friend?
Only thing I can think of is maybe you can boot into the bootloader and clear the configuration there. Your friend would have to get a new Gmail account, but the phone should go back to factory default.
That is power off (remove battery), put battery back in and hold the volume down and turn the phone on.

Force Closing process....com.motorola.contacts

Hey guys I'm having trouble with the com.motorola.contacts force closing on me.
I recently ported the alien theme to the latest stock rom.
Now I'm getting that error and I'm not sure why I changed the contacts apk back to stock and it worked until I added my social networks and now it crashes again.
Any ideas on why this is happening? Maybe I need to change the setup apk back to stock also....trying to avoid that and yes I wiped the cache and all even factory rest via bootstrap
Thanks guys
You might have removed some of the other dependencies - such as the blur yahoo package, etc

the physical apk no everything is in its place only things I took out are the sprint apks
At first my text messaging would not vibrate alert me until I removed the moded apk and added the stock. I'm trying to figure why some stuff is flipping out and the rest aren't

I am having the EXACT same error with my contacts today and I have done nothing to phone except one click root and that has never caused me any problems with my contacts.
---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------
A heads up all. I found my problem. I installed the new Google+ 2.0 that is supposed to be for Ice Cream Sandwich. I just uninstalled it and my contacts work again.
Thanks it worked. Makes me think ics is gonna have integrated g+ support

This didn't work for me!
did you remove one of the social apps? " think it is "social sharing" that is needed to touch onto a contact while in messaging.
You having any luck over on your end Bro? Or still getting the FC's?
Ever figure this out? Mine happened after I tried moving the social apps out of the apps directory. Moved them back in and fixed permissions...same force close. Did a couple factory resets including internal storage and with the phone clean after that it still force closes! Not sure what else to try now.
Not to jack this thread, where can I find the old Google+ at? My phone was perfect until 2.0! Now I, like you, have problems with that Social Networking. 1. I cannot even add Google+ to it! 2. SPB 3d Shell sometimes freezes when I pass the panel with Social Networking on it.
The only thing different between this phone and replacement is Google+ and I can tell by the new red icon!

I had this happening to me and did the factory reset even through the stock recovery, but that didn't help. The only thing that worked to get it back was install the stock SBF. After that contacts worked again.
I was able to narrow done my problem to when I froze the Desk Home app in Titanium Backup. Then instantly I got the contacts force close error. Now it doesn't work again, even if I unfreeze the Desk Home app.
I will try again to see if I can reproduce the problem the way I did it.
I got this issue for a while after using Titanium Backup to "freeze" the Yahoo authenticator, and Yahoo Contacts on a stock (rooted) rom. After defrosting them the contacts came back. Props to Pete720 for the idea.
I deleted the yahoo and sprint apks and my contacts apk is fc how can i get them back
One friendly tip, next time use Titanitum Backup to Freeze the applications instead of deleting them. After a reboot they will appear invisible to the phone (not starting, not hogging any RAM) but for situations like this you can Unfreeze them to make them work again
Yahoo Contacts is not a dependency, Contacts work fine with frozen Yahoo Contacts. I tried tried freezing/unfreezing back and forth a bit and to me it seems like Motorola Contacts depends on all the Authenticator apk's, even if you don't use them. I only use Corporate Sync and Google Accounts but had to unfreeze all Authenticator apps to make the Contacts work again.
You will need all the com.motorola.blur.provider apk's. I don't know if I can help you since I have a Defy+ running 2.3.6 (there might be apk differences) but let me know if you don't find anything anywhere else and I could try to extract the apk's for you as a last resort
im getting forced closing on (com.motorola.phone),,,any idea what causes that
had that force close on phone issue b4... when i wasnt on a diff from ##data# and reset data profile fixed it just fine. when i had it happen on cm9 i just wipped phone 2 times and the format system thing and re installed rom and all was fixed.

Help wanted please, com.android.phone crashes during boot

It started when i was shooting a video clip.
When I pressed stop record it stalled. Then Force close message on camera app came up.
When trying to restart camera it "could not connect to camera", so I rebooted the phone.
During boot, right at the place where I enter pin code I get a Force close on process com.android.phone.
Can´t get passed this point, it skips pin code part into UI, but com.android.phone crash loops as soon as I press force close, can´t really operate anything else.
I thought it was SD card that had died, but it behaves the same with it pulled out. And I can reach it and download data from it via USB to PC
Anyone have any ideas what to do?
I´m on a HD2 using nand BOYPPC MIUI V26 (09.Nov)
Thanks for any replies

Just do a factory reset. Or if you are rooted than flash another rom

was hoping to not have to loose all my added apps and settings...
Will see if I can manage a magldr backup then restore selected parts perhaps?
Doing a backup now.
what part will com.android.phone be in? System?
if so is it possible to restore all but System? will my previous apps work after reflash?
Edit: Well, I tried it and actually it seems to work to restore /Data
Got all my apps and messages etc back.
Thanks for your time.

[Q] Contacts (proccess com.motorola.contacts) has stopped, Force Closed

Problem:
I cannot add/delete/edit/open any of my contacts using the stock contacts manager. I get the force close on the (proccess com.motorola.contacts).
Phone setup:
Unlocked and rooted
Superuser, Busybox, CPU tuner, CWM v5.0.0.6, RomRacer as well (all free versions)
System 4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US (2.3.4)
radio N_01.77.37P
kernel Faux .024
OK... Before the flames are turned on... Yes I have tried lots of the "solutions" to this and NO, they did not work.
Backtrack.
I froze the updater to stop the 15 minute reminder about the OTA. I believe that was when this started, I am not entirely sure since I do not often add/edit contacts.
I unfroze the updater, restart, no change
I had tried to use the Yahoo mail client, saw something about it... reloaded it and unloaded it. restart no change
I've since loaded the Go contacts/dialer... No edit function there either, at least it does not crash.
So, What I think I need to do, and have not found anywhere, is to replace the Contacts files from a blank/stock system and then repopulate the data from an import.
Has this been done? Does anyone know how to do this?
Also, I am fine doing it manually via whatever needs to be done... and I can follow instructions.

Yahoo authenticator caused this with me if frozen. Sounds like you uninstalled or froze something Contacts relies on to work.

Yahoo is a system app with the official build, so downloading Yahoo and installing it wont work. Try pulling it from a 2.3.4 build and pushing the apk to your phone. This is why using TiBu to backup and freeze apps is good.

There are a number of apps which cause contacts to FC when you try to add or edit e contact. They are all tied in to contacts. You may not see an issue until you try to add or edit a contact. If you have FC with add or edit contact, best to unfreeze everything, then go through freezing apps one at a time until you start to get FC again, then you know what apps give the problem. I know Yahoo and/or Yahoo authenticator can be one which causes the FC problem if frozen or uninstalled.
Frozen
As said before.... The only thing I ever froze was the Updater.
Installed (crashed system) and removed Skype
Installed and removed Yahoo mail
Nothing else...
I am looking for a way to remove/replace the contact files and database, install a system new/empty structure and repopulate it, if at all possible.
If, from what attention I've gotten is true, apparently, there is no way to do this short of a full system wipe and restart...
Am I correct?
You could import from a VCard format. The following may help if I understand what you are looking for correctly:
http://code.google.com/p/vcardio/
If your contacts come from your Google account, you would have to disable syncing of contacts there, (or from wherever else they are coming from), and then delete them manually. Then you could import the new contact database.
I'll give it a go...
CaelanT.... Thanks, I'll look at what you gave me and see if it will work.
Just tried GB_AtrixMix_v1_by_otogy2002 - 2.3.6 STOCK ROM this weekend and I was able to fully edit the contacts. So my nagging assumption was correct, it is the contacts application in the stock 4.5.91... en.us rom that is the culprit, not actually my contacts themselves.
So, again, short of dropping another ROM on it and having to reload my applications (not really trusting of backup and restore of apps into a different ROM)...
Does anyone know how to fix my issue?
Do you have any apps that you have frozen?

There lies the problem. I did the same and nothing would work to fix. Had to rsd lite the stock sbf to get it working again. I was stocked rooted only, no unlocked bootloader at the time, running the stock rom/radio/kernel that came installed on the phone.
I was hoping there is someone somewhere who will read this and know how to replace the contacts application in the .91 ATT US stock ROM... I may have to ask, dare I say it.... Motorola support, and not mention the rooted and unlocked part...

Worst case I wait and hope for ICS from Motorola, since a ROM overlay fixes it.
Thanks All!
Kenneth Penn is another Blurophile. Dunno how active he is with him moderating XDA now though. Worth a try PM'ing him too.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Basically the Blur Contacts app calls on a ton of other dependant apks such as yahoo, activesync, work contacts and so forth. And not having one of these apks will lead to FCs when trying to edit a contact. So like previous users said, do not freeze or uninstall any of these or else you'll mess it up. If it has contact in the name or is associated with a service that syncs contacts let it be.
OK...
I guess I'll just bang around some ROM's until I find one I like and wait out ICS from Motorola for us.
Thanks All...

If you has not fixed it yet let me know .I had the same problem cause I uninstalled yahoo contacts 2.3.6 and had the same problem as you.But fortunately I made a back up before uninstalling so I installed it again and the problem solved.please email me at mh.mithun AT Gmail . com if you need the app.

com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly

I flashed from stock to bionix v4, followed all the steps with no issues. Everything worked great. I had to do the these two fix steps a few times recently. wifi fix http://androidforums.com/droid-supp...ifi-error-message-wifi-will-not-turn-all.html and large file download fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30669800&postcount=1127. This is when I noticed my issue. However, i can still makes calls. It is when I hang up that I get the error but I can still get back into it, just after force closing. please help.
I'm trying to figure out options before wiping and reflashing.
You can try to go to manage apps and clear data from phone app. Then reboot.

I cant even see it in the list. wtf. The only thing I can think of that's close is "phone" version 1.0 but there's no data for me to press clear.
I also see dialer and dialer storage actually have data to clear.
When you go to manage apps, all, there isn't phone?

There is "phone" but there's no data to clear. size is = 0kb.
Guess its wiping time, try just cache, dalvik cache and fix permissions. If you still have issue a full wipe might be in order.

Well, I did a full wipe and reflashed. Phone is working now but something I didn't notice before. I cannot get contacts pictures to sync with facebook and when I try, it says I need to log-on to social media and redirects me to allow me to choose between facebook, twitter, etc to sync. When I click on facebook, it force closes just like with the phone app. What's going on?
Did you use an app to backup apps and app data(titanium backup etc)?
Go to manage apps>all> Facebook and clear data. See if that fixes your issue.
I apologize for not being able to give more exact issues. I haven't used that ROM and its been a long time since I used froyo all together.
I approve this message.
