Found this on the SE forum - same problem and a solution that worked for a couple of people who reported it.
It's for an Xperia Arc but I can't see any obvious reason why that should make a difference.
I'll paste it here - credit belongs to someone called "apc_user" - not me.
1 Go to Contacts.
2 Choose “Back up contacts” from menu.
3 Backup to Memory card.
4 Go to Settings/Applications/Manage applications, select “All” tab.
5 Clear all data from “Contacts” and “Contacts Storage” applications.
6 Go back to Contacts.
7 Click “Done”, don’t import anything, you’ll have an empty phonebook now.
8 Choose “Import contacts” from menu.
9 Choose “Import vCard file"
10 Choose the file you backed up the contacts to.
11 Choose “Filter” from menu.
12 Choose “Phone contact”.
13 Tick “All contacts”.

How to solve error updating Office Suite (X10 mini firmware 2.1.1.A.0.6)

It's actually based on my own problem that i get when updating office suite. My x10 mini isn't rooted yet before this happen but i already updated my phone firmware to the latest version 2.1.1.A.0.6 .
When first open, Office suite asked me "to continue, you must update to newer version. A newer version is available.", so i choose "Yes/Update", downloading process begin. After a minute or more,i checked again got this message "Error!! Updating failed. Try again?". I choose try again option but still failed. Restarting phone still won't do.
The problem is Office Suite is the pre-installed apps from it's manufacturer. So how can we fix this, if we can't even remove this app?
I got this solution that is in my opinion is simple.
First you've got to do is rooting your phone. If it hasn't rooted, you may want to do it now by going here. After you get SuperOneClick and unzip the .zip file, you can start :
1. Don't connect your phone to pc yet.
2. Run the SuperOneClick.exe that you download, click "ROOT" and it'll start checking until it says "Waiting for device...".
3. Now on your phone, go to -> Settings -> Applications ->Development -> tick the "USB Debungging Mode". Click OK.
4. Then connect your phone to PC and choose "Connect Your Phone" option in phone screen.
5. Notice the SuperOneClick app will start checking again.. Let it do it's job.
6. In my case, i failed to ROOT at the first try but don't worry.
7. There'll be a pop-up window asking if your phone are using firmware 2.1 or higher (You may need to check your phone firmware first, go to Settings -> About Phone -> Build Number). Choose "Yes" if you know.
8. The procces will continue again, now wait till it succes. It'll ask you to send message ....to you phone, choose "OK".
9. Now, you are succes on rooting your phone.
10. After that, untick the "USB Debugging Mode".
The second step is
1. getting "Titanium Backup Pro", i would suggest. It doesn't matter which version you use.
2. Copy the file to your phone, go to -> Application -> find the file .apk file and run the installation. After finished, you can choose "Open".
3. It'll ask if you have SuperUserRights, click "Yes".
4. It'll ask again to go into "USB Debugging Mode". You can now tick again this option.
5. After that go to 'Backup/Restore" tab, there'll be a list of pre-installed apps. Scroll down till you find "Office Suite x.x.xx" and below it "Office Suite Update Service x.x.xx". (x.x.xx was the version of Office Suite)
6. Click & choose "Backup!" the two of it. You don't want something worse happen.
7. Now, you can choose "Wipe data" for that two apps.
8. You can get out and check yourself the previous "Office Suite" that is asking updates.
If you find this error problem again when updating "Office Suite", just go to "Titanium Back" and wipe data again..
Done!!!
You can update your office suite again, just make sure you have a stable internet connection or else it'll get an error again. After 4times trying, finally i succeed in updating office suite.
please delete the link to titanium back up pro
it is a paid app you can't post paid apps here for free
it is against the rules

Re: Pre-installed 'Office Suite' will not open / update.
Check if you can clear data fro Office Suite and then try again.
Menu> Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> Click on the first hardware button (the one with four squares)> Filter> All> Office Suite> Clear data.

SE X10mini: in 'Manage Applications', left button, Filter, All Applications > Office Suite Update > Clear data.

At this point, the address book and save,Now at this point, if your device is already rooted and you have almost finished otherwise you root your terminal ..
Open root explorer and when super user will ask you to grant root privileges yes
Please go to the 'Data' folder and from there to 'System'

Textra settings backup on rooted phones?

This question has been asked many times with no answer.
Textra does not have an option to save your settings.
Where are these settings saved?
Can they be copy-pasted on rooted phones, ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra
It's been awhile
Really not sure I want to go through the hassle of starting all over again from scratch, again, with this app.
No need, after starting this thread in 2016, the only app I found on Google Play that can actually remember settings of individual contacts after you delete the conversation with them:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handcent.app.nextsms
Handcent Next SMS(Free Messenger for texting, MMS)
In other words, with other apps, they remember individual settings for a contact as long as there is at least one message on the phone with that contact, but if you delete that last message, only Handcent Next SMS remembers custom settings for it.
As for saving other settings, this is what I found. Use Helium on Rooted phones:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup
Start Helium and allow it root access.
Select app to backup > BACKUP > Internal Storage *DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING IF PROMPTED*
Backup Complete > OK
Backup is located in the internal storage folder named carbon.
Copy this folder to another device to perform RESTORE.
• Sometimes Helium may only be installed through a Helium Backup Chrome Extension for DESKTOP [not mobile] Chrome:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/helium-backup/gpglbgbpeobllokpmeagpoagjbfknanl?hl=en-US
In case of problems, install UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi from https://adb.clockworkmod.com/
Enable USB Debugging: Settings > About phone > press on Build Number a total of 7 times to turn on Developer options
Developer options > Android debugging: ON > OK
Reboot both PC and phone.
Start Helium and grant it Root access > Checking Superuser enters a loop > During the loop,
Go to Google Chrome extension and start it > now connect phone to PC > Allow debugging when prompted on the phone. No need to change "Use USB to" - even if left on "Charge this device" the phone should ask to Allow debugging. No need to change "Use USB" to "Transfer files"
CANCEL > OK > either Backup or Restore
When done, Disable USB Debugging.

I HAVE TRIED ALL THE METHODS ABOVE WITH NO LUCK
#%%%%what i did to fix this was to import all contacts from sim to phone memory, close the whatsapp or minimise the open again for it to load the contacts automatically. this is how the "setting up whatsapp. please wait windows phone" was finally fixed $%$%$
I confirm the fix.
Do the usual steps, and when it's stuck on the screen, switch to the contact screen, add a new contact with a phone number, and then go back to the whatsapp app.
None of the origin fixes worked for me.

Files crashing - cannot attach files

Have this weird problem recently with my Mate 10 Pro. Whenever I clicked on attach files in any apps that uses the native files browser, it will load the file browser for a split second before crashing. Anyone has the same problem or knows the solution? Thanks.

Did you try to delete cache from native files browser or install another one?
Tried deleting both cache and data and it didn't help. Installing another browser doesn't help cause I can't choose the browser for these apps to use to select files.

You can choose browser in settings app and notifications app default app...
If it doesn't work, try a factory reset

He can set a differrent browser (for web) for standard browser but he cannot change the file manager, which is what he means with "file browser" I believe.
Before trying a factory reset you can also try to wipe the phones cache. You can do that booting into stock recovery:
1. Switch the phone off
2. Press Power + Volumen Up simultaneously
3. When the Huawei logo appears release the power button but keep pressing Volume Up until EMUI menu / stock recovery is shown
4. tap on "wipe cache partition"
5. after wiping is done tap on "reboot system now"
Maybe that helps.

Tried, didn't help. Thanks though. I was trying to avoid a factory reset as it's a hassle to re-setup my phone. My suspicion is a rogue file somewhere that causes the file manager to crash when it loads. But I can't hunt it down yet.
So apparently it's due to this app named "downloads". The app crashes and exits immediately everytime I tried to launch it. Not sure why though.

I had the same problem for months.
if you go to "Apps" in settings and show system processes then you should see a small app with a download icon called "Files". Go into that one and delete data. That worked for me.

Me also having same issue. Unable to upload any files using web browser Huawei P30pro. I am able to select the file but after that nothing happens. Tried your suggestion but still doesn't work.
Huawei p30 pro owner here. Hello i have the same issue with the Files app however it only happens when trying to select image from browser or an OCR app i have called easyOCR and specifically for the Screenshots folder. It all started when i transfered all my photos from the Camera folder to PC because storage was almost full and then i deleted them from phone and the problem started to happen (i did the same thing in the past many times to previous phones i owned without any issues at all). I really dont know how to fix it btw i ve left my EMUI to 10.0.123 cause i dont want the camera to lose quality like i have heard it happens with one of the later software updates, and phone was working absolutely perfectly until this thing happened.
