well i have seem many of threads talking about this problem so i have done many of the fixes but not result so i have and at&t lg phoenix lg p505 ther is and apk to solve this issue or reinstalling the stock OS if is reintalling pls tell me how to or the apk for this lg p505
I am unfamiliar with this issue, but I will try to understand and help the best I can. I currently am useing a Phoenix also.
First are you stock unrooted? If so I'd recommend uninstalling and reinstalling. This can be done thru settings, applications, management. Find app click on it, then should be an option to uninstall, then find app in market and reinstall.
If that doesn't work try factory reset. This will revert phone to the day you got it.
Let me know if you've done this already or if this helped.
Also let me know if your rooted or not, and stock rom or not?
If this helped please hit the thanks button.
first of all i am rooted and stock rom and the app tha came whit the phoenix is from at&t it calls at&t address book and i dont think that app can be found in android market and it isnt in the list of app in application-manage applications well the real thing is tha i unnistalled it couse firt i didnt know that app will affect the contct list sync couse it came from at&t i thought that was one of the paid at&t app lke the others it came and i unnintalled and nothing happens but this one affect the contacts list in other to show then went i open the contacts icon it said aab initializing and do nothing i am using another contact viewer like Contacts i guees if you are using a phoenix pls post the apk of your at&t address book perhaps that can solve the problem i dont know pls help whit that and thank for the rapid replay
Well bad news. All I have is a titanium backup of the app, no apk. Sorry.
I can try posting it. You would need to download titanium. No other contacts app you like? Cuz that would be the easiest way to go. The only other suggestion would be to flash roms, but that wont get att address book back.
soryy for the late bu can you pls post the apk in order to try it and thanks for all
Ill see what I can do. May take a bit.
welll i guess if your is the same Lg Phoenix than mine y guess y you post the app of at&t adressd book it will works on mine i guess the are to file the apk and other i think i about something framework i guesss
http://www.mediafire.com/?0n04gaj2tl7ow8l
here is the link to the files. there in one zip file. so extract to get three files.
dont do anything else.
download and install titanium backup on your phone.
open titanium and go to schedule(top right)
"edit" will let you choose what type of files to backup.
choose "backup all user apps + system data".
now the tricky part. i think this will be the easiest.
plug phone into comp and open window to view sdcard
you should see a folder named titanium back.
open it and scroll down and see if you have any file names like the ones bellow
com.smlds-431476af48a66e090084592d1457061b.apk
com.smlds-20111007-090024.properties
com.smlds-20111007-090024.tar
not sure if the numbers will be the same, but i hope you get the point.
cut and past these files from sdcard/titaniumbackup to comp. dont get them mixed up with the ones i gave you.
if you dont have these files in the backup folder on sdcard i dont think it should be a problem. just do next step
now cut and past the ones i gave you to sdcard/titaniumbackup
unplug from comp.
open titanium backup
click on backup/restore
scroll down and see if ATT ADDRESS BOOK is there.
if so tap it and then choose restore, then choose app and data.
hope this works, if you speek a differnent laguage i hope this translates ok.
let me know how it goes or if you need any more assistance.
well hello savagephoenix first of all sorry for the tipping my language is spanish but i perfectly read your post ..............
ok well i did all what you mentioned but it stay frezze in restoring in titanium backup i can see the at&t addresses app i clicked the restore bottom all what you mentioned but it stay in restoring window of the titanium app what can be doing? any idea?
yes, in titanium press menu button, preferences, scroll down till you see App processing mode, press that then change to" AUTO, Indirect(if you have problems)". then try restoring the app
nothing i download the titanium backup 4.7.1 for web and i pachted i did all what you said but still freeze in restoring app i clicked on restore the app+data and also restore app only and both gave the same issue
Try rebooting
try the last option in app processing mode.
Maybe go back to original setting.
I'm running out of ideas.lol
well sorry for the late respond thanks for all man but it still getting in the restoring app windows i had to use a titaniumback up app tha i downloaded from a web couse the one of the market is not the pro and the por i the one tha has App processing mode available any other idea? by the way do you know how to get the star battalion game for the phoenix?
One of the files was an apk. Don't know if it will work, but if you have a file explorer you could get to it and see if it installs. Don't know about the game.

I foolishly deleted the timescape.apk from my phone as i dont use it and wanted to free up some memory. I believe some part of the OS is trying to open it still as I get an error message that it cant be found each time I reboot. I tried downloading a .apk from the web but it wouldnt install, so I assume there are different versions. Could someone please post the Timescape.apks (there are three related ones IIRC) so that I can reinstall please?
Maybe the widget is still on one of your home screens? I deleted mine and I have no issues.
No, I have never used it. Thats why I am a bit confused to be honest. It comes up every time I reboot, says something along the lines of "Timescape service failed to start".
Timescape
Someone in the forum said that you should leave the timescape provider service to not get that error message, and that helped me.
Hello,
You must also remove :
uWlopProvider.apk
SnsContactImageCacheProvider.apk
TimescapePluginManager.apk
TimescapeProvider.apkto completely uninstall Timescape.

I just got my Atrix yesterday, I seem to have the issue where it wont successfully log in to google talk which also means that I cant download apps. I've tried making a new account which also failed to work. Are there any ideas out there for how I could fix it?
Can anybody help me?
I had the same problem and figured out that it was Droid Wall keeping Gtalk from connecting. Make sure Talk can access the network freely.

After cloning a samsung gio s5660 through a CWM backup I started experiencing the same issue. Heres What REALLY happens.
Google authenticates you in their services trought unique "keys" which are automatically generated upon system installation / factory reset, so if you clone your device or install a rom which has these "keys" pre-installed, obviously, your rom will only autheticate you in google servers if your phone is the only one using the service at that given time... Upon failure, your phone assumes to be the one who's wrong, and google servers won't autheticate you until you either tell your phone he is not wrong (by deleting the data from play store, which resets its status and errors) or you change the "keys". SO, what can we learn from this? deleting the play store data IS a temporary solution, and won't solve a thing. Let's delete the duplicated keys shall we?
Navigate with your favourite folder explorer on your android (I use X-plore, you can tell me anything, there's nothing better) to the following directory:
- "(root)/data/data/com.google.android.gsf"
Now you have two real options, either you may delete the all folder, which was the perfect solution for me, since my rom is prepared to re-create it upon phone restart and new keys will be generated, OR, you might want to just delete the contents of app_sslcache inside com.google.android.gsf whish are THE KEYS I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS ALL TIME, YEEEIHHHH and reboot your phone...
Needless to say, take a nandroid backup before you do any of this...
Thank me later
For those who remember me from symbian s60v3 phones, yes, it is me, I'm back, and I've moved to the droid world, it's much better indeed
Let me just say, I have no idea why this thread was moved or resurrected. Whoever did so was about a year and a half too late. Please close/delete this thread.
Hey,
i am owner of an Cube iPlay10
It comes with stock Android 6.
No Contacts app pre Installed.
Tried to Install Google Contacts App (and other) but i cannot save any contact.
Eventough i have poeple added in my google account, its not syncing them to the tablet.
I have no system application called "contact storage" installed. Either there is no way to install it as an apk afterwards, or i need root!?!
And that will be another problem i guess...
Can you guys help me out?
I have done a video of it on YT for better understanding...
https://youtu.be/7z8CVLxNVBw
Sorry for bad english, i am not a native speaker.
Regards
Did you ever solve the issue? I also have an Iplay10 and I am facing the same problem...
Nope! Wanet to root it to store contacts storage.apk to /app and bricked it i guess!
You bricked it? During the rooting or afterwards when you moved contacts to the system app folder? Mind explaining more how it happened?
I rooted mine by using Magisk, it works fine but I'd really like to get contacts working...
I bricked it while using flash tool. Now its not responding. Only when pluged to the Computer, the PC recognizes a device. Thats all.
Try to find a apk called contacts storage in marshmallow version 6.0 and lut it in system/app folder. Reboot and it should install this apk. This app is missing in system apps so iplay cannot save your contacts.
If it still responds when plugged to computer, you should probably be able to reflash official rom and root it. I followed exactly the steps in that video to root mine:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcxOFz7CR-I
The video creator has links for all the files, and even the official rom.
Would you happen to have a link to that contacts storage app? Did you hear this from someone else who has an Iplay10 and solved the issue?
i did it with help of this exact video.
smtg went wrong i guess
i have complete rom, preloader all the stuff with scatter file and everything checked in sp flash tool, but when i connect the phone, only a bing appears. SP Flash tool is showing no response. when i unplug the tablet, then sp brings the usual error.
i will oen up a new thread i guess.
try oneof these and tell me if it worked out for you.
https://android-apk.org/com.android.providers.contacts/
(lookout for marshmallow 6)
i have heard it from german android forum, and wanted to do just like that, but then bricked!
I found 2 in that list that were marked as Marshmallow compatible, but both failed upon install. They seem to be signed by specific manufacturers like samsung, etc... and given that they gave an error message upon normal install, I was reluctant to stick them into the system app folder. I don't have a pc handy to reflash or recover so I'm a little paranoid about bootloops/bricks...
Please let me know if you recover your tablet from that brick.
I'm struggling with something that never happened to me, I'm unable to restore my database to my recently upgraded Samsung J3 2016 - is running LineageOS 14.1 now
The phone was running stock Android 5.1.1, version J320FXXU0AQI1, nothing fancy here.
Made some research about what ROM to use and decided to upgrade to LineageOS 14.1, I'm really sick and tired of Google spying my steps, my contacts and the number of times i take a piss every day, and so on. Right now I don't have any Google account associated with the mobile (could this be the problem, since this is a custom ROM?)
Everything ran smoothly, backed up my contacts, call logs, SMS, pictures and the ENTIRE Whataspp folder. This method always worked fine on several phones I've upgraded or simple swapped equipment to a more up-to-date hardware. Everytime worked like a charm, restored logs, contacts and so on, in what it concerns to Whatsapp i simply moved the ENTIRE folder to the new phone (or upgraded phone), installed the Whatsapp app and is just straight forward for the app to ask me for a SMS code to activate the software and then asked me to restore my backed up database. It has been very simple so far, but not this time:
When it reachs the point to detect and restore my database Whatsapp states that can find one Database from 1970 (???? WTF) with 0 bytes, and after that it fails to restore my data (not strange, 0 bytes is no data). I've already tried earlier versions of Whataspp, tried different databases (there are 7 in my folder, i don't believe all of them are corrupted). I'm reaching 0 ways to explore. BTW, i dont use Google drive to store my backups because its enough for Google to know how many times i take a piss everyday, i rather have the backups with me, on my phone (thanks any way Google), but the files are safe in my desktop and on my phone for now, inaccessible so far but their're there.
Can any one point me some way to try to revive my database? Just a note, i have an older phone that still have Whatsapp there, i didn't erased it, maybe it's there something of interest for this situation?
Thanks so much in advance for everyone that can help, any hint can be helpful.
Update!
I've managed to get another phone, exactly the same, Samsung J3 201 J320F.
I've sent my whatsapp folder to the phone, signed in to my google account, installed whatasapp and, like 98% of the times my backup is ok and is restored. Now I have two phones:
1- one with Whataspp working fine (the one with Stock ROM 5.1.1 J320FXXU0AQI1
2- another one, the main phone, where i want to put my whataspp backup working but it simply doesnt work (previous post). Everything elese is settled and working just fine. Maybe whatasapp doesnt like Custom ROMs??
So, I'm sure that my backups are fine, right now I have access to anything that i may need i guess. I don't believe that Im the first person not beeing able to restore whataspp backups in LineageOS.
Please help
New developments.: I've installed Ressurection 5.8.5, the latest available for this phone. It runs ok, but Whataspp problem is still there, the backup is marked to have 0Kb, somehow Whataspp simple doesn't want to recover my backup if I'm using a custom firmware (I receive a warning about no support from them if I have problems at the beginning of the startup process).
So far this method didn't work (Whatsapp shows my Backup with 0Kb):
1) Copy your latest crypt 12 file to /sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases/
2) Install / Activate WhatsApp
3) WhatsApp will retrieve the key from their server and restore your backup.
I've tried this method that appeared to have some success in same cases. Followed everything but no luck, Whataspp detects a 0Kb backup also.
Meanwhile I still don't believe that I'm the very 1st person that this happens, I'm still very impressed with this. If the OP thinks I'm in the wrong Topic please feel free to move it to the right place, maybe there I'll have better luck.
Not that I have much knowledge in that direction, but the issue sounds more like it is about the file than Whatsapp itself. Maybe some permission issue? If you use a filemanager app like total commander, can it read the file fully? I found a topic that had 0 byte filesize issue and a simple reboot apparently fixed it.

Hello musschrott, and thanks for replying.
I've tried moving the database file, erase it, changing it's name and the android system allows me to do it, i think the file itself is free to be read by Whataspp, but your other tip, the permissions in system made me google around (even more..) about it and I found here on XDA this. : "The privacy protection in the drop down menu and the permission in the app settings." (credits to LegoTechniker). On the privacy protection is all ON but in the Permission is all OFF and Whataspp nor the System ask me to turn it ON and it can result on whatasapp reading files with 0Kb from 1970.
I'll give a try but only tomorrow because the code/phonecall from Whataspp have a 48h delay and keeps increasing everytime I try a different method to solve this issue.
musschrott, thanks again!

For everyone and specially those who helped (musschrott).
This has worked for me: giving full permissions to Whataspp in "Settings - Privacy" and in "Settings - Applications" worked like a charm, you have to do it BEFORE you start Whatsapp.
Best regards to everyone and thanks once more!
Make sure the WhatsApp backup file is in internal storage, and rename the backup file to msgstore.db.crypt.
After upgrading to LineageOS 14.1,install WhatsApp.When asked to restore from backup,choose the "msgstore.db.crypt" file.

Yes,
Those are the basic steps, but BEFORE running Whatasapp for the 1st time you have to give permissions in the system to Whatsapp because these are all OFF and the system doesn't ask to turn them ON when the permission is needed, simply presents you a file with 0Kb from 1970 and that's it. Again, you have to do this BEFORE the 1st Whatsapp startup and everything should run well.
Best regards
My issue is I gave full write permissions but then it goes straight to the Google Drive restore and does not show my local backup.

Steps: 1)make sure you rename the database as it should be.
2)Install whatsapp
3)Insert your number when asked
4)Use Otp/code
5)Then the app will ask you for google drive permission ,click allow/ok
6)Then the app will ask for contact permission ,simply deny this permission (very important)
7)Then the app will ask for storage permission ,hit allow (very important)
8)Then you will see your local storage behind the popup saying allow google drive and crap You will need to press add account and have your fingers ready for instant tapping between add account and instant tapping restore button ,and out of 10-30 times doing this practice, you will luckily hit restore button, I know this sounds confusing, And I can make a tutorial video if you want ,this works 100%
9)once it is restored ,you will still see app asking google drive option, don't click skip (this will reset the app ,leading to nothing restored) , So when the app is asking to restore from google drive, close the app right away (very important)
10)open the app ,and the app will ask you to set name ,set your name ,and you'll see all your backup"

Hi,
Since some weeks, something happened on my phone, and I'm unable to upload files to apps. For example, if I want to upload a file on Chrome, or any other app like on Prisma, I press the upload button, it ask me to choose the file, I choose the file to be uploaded, and nothing happens... Like I've never chosen any file.
I've realised that, the new apps that I install, let me upload the files normally, just the old apps that I've installed before this strange think happened that doesn't let me upload nothing.
I've already tried to uninstall and reinstall those apps, but no chance. Is any way to fix this problem?
Thank you
