common error, com.android.mms - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Seems this is a common error among android users.
Galaxy S2 4G on Bell
Rooted
For the last 2 days I have read and researched typical problems related to this error message;
"Sorry the application Message (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try agaain. Force Close"
I have tried any solution I've found, but am still unable to resolve the issue.
I can only attribute the problem to deleting a few bloatapps, namely Social Hub... as it seems everything went sideways after uninstalling.
Anyway, I have been thinking if I could reinstall Social Hub maybe that would work?
Other then that, I'm open to just about anything. I don't use apps much at all, I want minimal bloatcrap... but have performed a few hard resets in order to return to stock (minus Social Hub however!) only to create a folder to move all the Dross apps, as opposed to uninstalling anymore.
Well long winded, sorry, I have searched quite a bit, and tried many of the solutions provided... if anyone has any ideas, I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks

So after starting fresh I was registering a hotmail account and have received another message;
"Sorry the application Email (process com.android.mail) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close"
This happened when I clicked on the "Email" app... I can't even open it, one click... few seconds later error message appears.
I know there are the "walk-thru's" of the hard reset, and resorting back to default... but can anyone explain how to get EVERYTHING back? The apps I uninstalled, are gone... how do I get them back?

Look through a ROM thread or two, they usually have separate downloads for the Samsung apps that they removed from the ROM for those who wish to retain Social Hub, et al. Get yourself up and running and selectively freeze items rather than delete them until you figure out exactly what you need/want.

thanks for the idea, I have actually gone a route along those lines.
I found this thread (androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2/419294-android-2-3-5-gingerbread-xxki3-update-samsung-galaxy-s2.html) on another board, it updates the phone to Android 2.3.5.
It has resolved all my issues (well so far) and to be honest things seems to look/work a little cleaner.
I'll keep your idea about "freezing" in mind now though as I don't think I will be uninstalling anything for a while. All extra apps are dropped into a Folder to keep them out of sight.
thanks

[Q] process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly.

I know there are a few threads related to this issue, but I don't feel that my situation fits into any of the ones discussed.
So after I flashed to the KE2 firmware for O2 phones (mine was PAYG), I started getting 'android.process.acore has stopped working unexpectedly' whenever I clicked on the 'history' tab of a contact. This is the only instance I've ever experienced that specific force close, and I can only reproduce it if I click on the history tab.
My phone is rooted, with typical root-related programs such as RootExplorer, Titanium Backup, JuiceDefender Ultimate, Lookout Security, AdFree. I'm running Touchwiz without any substantial modifications aside from some normal widgets.
I have frozen a few programs using Titanium Backup, but these were all from a list of supposedly 'safe to remove' programs listed here: http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/showthread.php/4811-Safe-to-remove-applications-list
I've already done flashed firmwares 2-3 times and factory reset my phone once due to a reboot loop. Everything else seems to be running perfectly.
Does anyone know what may be causing this, for example a system file I shouldn't have frozen etc? This isn't a huge problem at the moment since I don't really use the history tab at all, but I'm afraid this might have bigger repercussions if I don't figure out what is wrong with my phone.
Factory reset or reflash normal method of fixing .

I found out what was wrong.
I had frozen a service called 'LogsProvider 1.0' using Titanium Backup. Defrosting it solved the problem, and I no longer have any force closes.
I'd therefore like to reiterate that freezing LogsProvider 1.0 will cause force closes if you attempt to view the History tab of your contacts (and possibly other unconfirmed actions).
Thanks for the suggestion anyway, jje.

[Q] Google service framework force close

The last couple of days I've been getting tons of:
Sorry!
The Application Google Services Framework (process com.google.precess.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
Im running the latest virusrom, it never used to do this. Its not affecting performance but its really annoying to keep seeing it. I tried wiping cache and data and it seemed to work for a while but then it always pops up again.
Have you Fix permissions? Usually takes care of FC's.

Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt 4G LTE.
i did right after i flashed the rom. should i try it again? im reluctant to since i deleted data again and it hasn't done it in a few days. also when i first fixed permissions it caused problems with contact photos not showing up in the message app. that was a pain to fix :/

[Q] com.motorola.contacts has stopped unexpectedly - no fixes have helped!

I have an Atrix 2 (MB865), Android version 2.3.6 and I'm having this terrible problem, searched for answers, tried many things, and still no solution. I need ideas, please!
So, any time I go into one of my phone's contacts, I get the error:
"The application Contacts Storage (process com.motorola.contacts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. [Force close]"
It's completely stopped working!
I did some internet searching, and what comes up most often is people having frozen some application (usually Yahoo Mail). I haven't frozen anything since long before it worked fine, and then, all I have frozen is Easy Battery because I want to try GreenPower without uninstalling. Anyway, unfroze them, but still no good.
Speaking of uninstalling, the only thing I have uninstalled recently is GreenPower Free after I bought the full version.
More internet searching led me to an answer that seems to help most people: replacing the files in /system/app:
blur_yahoo.apk
blur_yahoo.odex
YahooContacts.apk
YahooContacts.odex
Mine weren't missing, but I went ahead and got the Linux 2.3.6 versions of those files, copied them over, changed the permissions to 644 and the owner/group to root, power booted (battery out), and no good.
Another suggestion was renaming the two BlurContactsSync files to *.bak. Did that, then reboot... no change.
Then I saw something where someone mentioned LinkedIn app asking about syncing, and I recalled I installed LinkedIn and told it not to sync contacts yesterday. So I un- and reinstalled. LinkedIn and allowed it to sync contacts. But when I went in to my contacts... still crashing.
The last thing I did was a complete restore of all apps and data with Titanium from a backup back when I know contacts was working. Reboot. No fix.
I'm now at a complete loss. Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Liam

[Q] My phone seriously messed up itself

Yesterday my phone ran out of battery and it took me a while to get back to my charger. I came back late and I put my phone to recharge over night. I wake up and start my phone and it's like it's never been used before. It has done some sort of reset by itself. All these help popups comes up about how to use slides and motion etc etc. My gmail account is not registered to my phone anymore. I go through my applications and now I start to realize that something is seriously wrong.
Some of my apps are missing on my home screen and when I look for them they seem to be uninstalled, so I try to install these apps again and get the "unknown error code during application install -24" error. This is the case for 3 of my paid applications. Portfolio stocks, swift key and maps with me.
I have more problems though, 50 % of all my apps that are still installed will not even start, like all of my games for example, Every time I try to start one of these I get "Unfortunately, application has stopped" This is also the case for some other apps like skype and spotify. Most of my apps have completely dropped the app settings and information. All my whats app conversations are gone for example and my number isn't even registered anymore.
Some apps still have the icon on my home screen but when I try to start these (like googles for example) it says "application not installed" even though the icon is there.
So as you can tell there some major problem has occurred when my phone turned itself of yesterday.
Now I'm afraid my phone ****ed itself up to much to actually be recovered with is a ***** but I'm wondering how the hell could this happen? What kind of information has deleted itself and why is this possible?
And is there anything you guys think I can do except resetting the whole device. My phone is not rooted and I regret not making backups.....
I have a galaxy s3 I9300 with android 4.1.2
Regards
Victor
factory reset. don't know why it happened

[Q] [HELP!] Complete Action Using *always* Not working

I've found a couple pages on this throughout the forum but nothing definitive to fix this. A couple people responded on my reddit thread saying they also have this issue but could not be fixed. I really hope someone has an answer for me because it is extremely annoying
When clicking certain links, the complete action using (application) dialog shows up even when *always* is clicked.
Per the advice on other threads, I have tried: 1)Clearing defaults 2)clearing cache on the apps I think are the culprit 3)uninstalled apps I thought was the culprit 4)going to application manager and resetting app preferences (this brought back all the apps I froze but did not fix the problem)
Under the launch by default I can see that the default apps I chose are there so the system is receiving my request but is not executing it. This only happens with certain launch types, as Nova launcher is launched probably when I press home button, phone calls are dialed with my preferred dialer, but links that require a browser, apk links (play store etc) and youtube links will always ask
I think I have done everything short of just reinstalling my phone which I don't want to do. For reference I have a Note 3 / 4.4.2 / Stock fimware / rooted.
I am running some XPosed frameworks, the only one that might conflict is CompleteActionPlus but I have tried uninstalling it already and no change.
This didn't use to be a problem but I can't pinpoint exactly when it happened. Another app I thought might be the culprit was Link Bubble but uninstalling that didn't help either.
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
Anybody with any ideas?
