Oh here is something odd. When i go into my contacts app from either the contatc app or the dialer on a stock phone i can see all my contacts, but when i click a contact to dial from it tries loading the info tab for about 10 seconds and then it crashes. Has anyone run into this and if so how did you rectify it?
[Q]
So is this a stock handset, have you just updated via KIES or updated via Odin?
Which firmware is on you handset. The more info you submit the better help you may get..
Hi,
I've experienced something very similar as well.
I can view about 95% of my contacts with the stock Contacts app, but, when I view the other 5%, I always receive a force close. However, GO Contacts is able to view all of them properly.
I'm running stock 2.3.3 (KG2), rooted with CFRoot.
I have not performed any updates via Kies.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks!

well that was pretty pathetic from them...ehh have you gone into the search tool bar on top of the forum to see if there are more threads regarding kies?
sure, i have searched xda and also web using uncle google
could you pls (or someone else) try to backup your e.g. contacts and then restore (only if you are able to continue (not necessary to click next button)
edit:
i tried to install kies_win_v1.5.3.10103_102 but this was too old version not supported my phone, so i tried Kies 2.0.0.11014_49 and in this version I was able to restore my contacts (unfortunatelly not calendar, sms, mail setting etc). I will have to wait for fully functional version of Kies to restore all my data.
The last version of Kies (Kies_2.0.3.11082_152_2) has bug
I have the same problem. I noticed it after first flashing my phone with the android 2.3.5 firmware (which wiped the phone), then going back to a previous firmware. As far as I know the phone version is correct now. I could update to the latest official firmware through Kies, but after that I can't restore any personal data and settings from the backup I made in Kies before starting to flash the phone.
I thought it might be from the flashings it didn't work. But maybe it is just a badly written software (Kies). I really hope a new version comes soon.

I finally found version 2.0.2.11071 here: http://www.soft82.com/get/download/windows/samsung-kies/
After uninstalling the newest version of Kies and installing this one instead I now at least got the option to restore everything, including personal data and settings.
I am restoring right now, so I can't yet confirm that it actually works. But I'm getting some hope back.
Well, it worked... sort of.
Contacts weren't an issue for me since I only have Google contacts, but I wanted call logs and messages back, which I got. I think contacts would work as well.
But the process was a bit strange. I selected to restore everything. When the restoring process was running a green check mark was placed over each item that was finished (as expected). When the last item was finished I got a red cross over each item instead and a message telling me I have have aborted the restore process.
Anyway, the call logs and messages was all there. So I'm pretty pleased anyway.

This is one of biggest problem with Galaxy S2 HD LTE too!!!!!!!!!
Looks like your Messaging Centre enter has been deleted.
Type in your dialer >> *#*#4636#*#* >> under SMSC type in your Network Messaging Centre (if you don't know it ask your network operator) >> DON'T press update >> Hit the back button and exit the app.
A couple of days ago, received a message that an upgrade of my OS from 4 to 4.0.4 [Build 4.1.B.0.587] was avail.
So used PC companion and did the upgrade successfully.
The visual improvements are nice - some changes to email and viewing contacts log need getting used to though in general I think this release is still a bit buggy. BBC Iplayer has stopped working. I thought it might have been the case that Adobe flash needed to be re-installed so I have done that but still no joy, sometimes the phone freezes.
Has anybody done the upgrade on this phone [Xperia Mini Pro] and experienced these problems with a resolution perhaps?
Thanks

For me, restoring contacts and apps takes me about 10 minutes. Why you dont use a google account for saving your contacts? It also saves the list of your current apps in the Play Store.
With a bit of help from the phone specific forum, I've now managed to restore my "semi-bricked" Galaxy S2 and have now installed the latest version of the official firmware.
I caused the problem myself by trying to upgrade from ICS to JB with an unofficial download, but thankfully all sorted.
Having 2 problems though, and want to get the basics of my phone sorted before I start messing around and rooting etc...
1. I can't delete emails! I'm using the stock client to access my own email server (bog standard IMAP) but if I delete anything from Inbox, it comes back as soon as the email is sync'd again! Found a few people talking about this issue, but not yet seen a solution!
2. The home button doesn't work! With ICS, no matter what I was doing, pressing Home would do just that, take me back to the home screen. With 4.1.2, it doesn't do ANYTHING!
Anyone got any suggestions for me?!

You have to install the Google Apps as a separate install when dealing with most non stock roms. Surely the guide you were looking at mentioned that...? Weird that you are having issues with Sms as it's rare roms have that trouble. Which messaging app are you using? Your contacts aren't there because you wiped your phone, installed a new operating system, and didn't install the Google apps to resync your account. I'm confused on why you're surprised by that... Kies doesn't work on non stock roms and is a much inferior tool vs Odin. Also, didn't you do a nandroid backup before installing Slim? If so, you could just restore that and you would be back to the previous version in like 10 minutes. If you didn't...well, you weren't looking at the right guides then. I think Slim is 10x better than stock, personally but depending on the phone and version, there can be some minor issues.
I think that Whatsapp doesn't recognize your phone because of the custom DPI. If you set that to stock value, it should work.
