Hi, the truth is I´m having a little strange issue. First I thought it was a problem in a ROM. but after trying a few LPH ROMs and start removing things, I have concluded that it is the contacts syncro. I´ll try to explain myself a bit better to see if someone comes up with some solution.
If I install any LPH ROM (I tried 5 or 6 different) and I skip the gmail account, I have no problems in access to the contacts app or the phone one, but when I sync with gmail two things happens:
1. I can still go to the phone, from there to favorites and from there to all contacts. In this way, I see contacts perfectly.
2. But If I go to the contacts application The screen locks turns into to black, after that the phone application also crashes and I have to reboot.
I tried to correct permissions. Even with a cache cleaner (read that cleaning the cache of the contacts could help) but I'm pretty sure it will not be the correct way to clean the cache of contacts.
Let's see if someone comes up with a little something becouse I´m running out of resources ...
Thanks and best regards

if you have back up your data etc....... You better flash to root stock, to see if problem solved. Then take it step by step on another rom.

I keep getting the "Process.android is not responding" a lot and "System" is not responding too. And the phone sometimes reboots/turns off by itself. I'm running J.A.F.'s CM7.2 with the fix applied, allinone, ICS theme with animations. Governor set to SMARTASS and min cpu up to 245MHz with max at 800.
Does anyone have any idea about this? I'm starting to get these frequently.
Besides those error reports, reboots/turn offs, everything works flawlessly. I really don't know what the issue could be :/
I suggest trying a full wipe - dalvik/data/factory and reflashing without the theme. I had no problems without the theme. Don't forget gapps.

Yeah man, I know what you mean. But Quick Pic messes up when I scroll from picture to picture. When I slide to the next image, it lags the previous one behind it and shows the next one but with the previous one chopped up behind it.
Let me take a screenshot....
EDIT: Reinstalled and there's no lag. The difference is that I took off the ICS theme. I'm not sure if the theme was the one that caused it but its not happening anymore. If it happens again, I'll post a screenshot.

I would still flash them. Those you don't use can be frozen. Some of these apps need each other to function. For instance I have been told by many people that the Market need GTalk to work. Save yourself unnecessary trouble and play it safe.

Thanks. Will flash after completely wiping phone.
EDIT: Weird, I wiped everything (Cache, Dalvik cache, Factory reset) then reflashed the rom and my phone was stuck on that ANDROID word before the bootanimation. Was I supposed to go back to CM7.1 and reflash 7.2?
I forgot to mention, I moved all the Dalvik Cache to the SD card with S2E. Think that would have performance issues?
The Dialer always FC now.
actually dialer FC with showing COntracts stopped working, but actually the contacts is workign fine. the real problem is with dialer only. looks like it has problem in reading the call log and also with T9 contacts.
urgently need a solution for this otherwise we canot continue using this rom.

I am having the exact same problem and would like a fix without reindralling rom. I have tried clearing dsta for all relating to dialer, phone and contacts, but no help. As soon as i hit phone, dialer crashes and after 10 seconds it says that contacts has stopped working.
Also when first installed the android keyboard crashed all the time and had to switch to smart keyboard.
I m having the same problem too. I thk when the call log has reached a certain amount of storage. The dialer will start crashing. I've experienced twice. The first time I juz try to ti- backup and flash the rom again. But juz now I face the same problem again, don't wanna flash the rom everything to fix it. Any solution to it?? Thx. I've tried to wipe all cache and even clear data of the application contacts, however is useless...
Hope there will be some fix for it as I really prefer 1.1 instead of 1.2 onwards...
Thx for answering!!!
Have you tried upgrading to v1.4? when i installed, triple wipe i did the main rom, then gapps, rebooted recovery, installed siyahkernel and it all works for me

It's known problem with RR 1.1 & T9 dialer - if you used the search tool you would know (I had the same exact problem)... Anyway, the problem occurs when you reject a call, once it's F-ed there's no going back (tried reinstalling the apk, TB-it - NOTHING). If you dont want to reflash you can use exDialer from the market, that's what I did then OR upgrade to 1.4, you wont regret - hope this helped (Excuse my bad english)

Thanks for answering! Perhaps i will reflash the rom and won't reject calls again haha!
I've tried 1.3 before but there are several things that i don't like, such as the toggles style of notification bar, the fm radio is removed, camera can't save pics in sd card, can't chg the font style, etc. Thaz why i prefer to stay at 1.1 ...

Glad I helped . Anyway you can use the other "afterbootxxxxxxx.zip" file without T9, that way you can be rude and rejecting calls without FC's afterwards but you'll lose T9 func.
Oh juz saw someone posted in gs2root.com, say when having the contacts fc, can solved by clearing data of "contacts storage", only drawback is lost all the call logs ... but I m not sure is it refering same issue ... wanna know does it work?? (I haven't tried it yet)
Ok, so, I was having the same problem. I tried opening the dialer app information (holding the app icon) and then i cleared the data, it's working perfectly, no drawbacks that I could notice

I couldnt find the development thread for CM09, so Im gonna ask it here, 2 days ago the sync with my Google calendar from some reason stopped, since then I tried flashing CM09 update-cm-9-20120423-NIGHTLY 2 times, but it didnt fix the problem, it started all of a sudden. Any ideas on how can I fix it
?
Doenst matter what calendar app I downloaded same result. It doesnt show my calendar, seems like the sync is broken or something when ever I go to accounts, and click on Sync calendar, its running for a few seconds then stops like it finished, but the Calendar is still not loaded.
Try a factory reset in the first instance. Then try flashing latest 25/04 CM9 nightly (do a clear cache/Dalvik after you flash it). If that doesn't work, ask in the CM9 discussion thread (good thing you didn't find the dev thread & post an issue like that; you'd likely end up with an infraction/ban. This isn't a dev issue).

last time i checked you cant remove main account..... is that the gmail account you signin to setup your phone??
Yep. Seems like you can do it, I have 2 accounts. It might be only with CM09. or with ICS. Because I remember you had to do a reset in order to change the main mail in Gingerbread as well. So it sort of suppressed me as well.
Glad you got it sorted easily without doing anything too drastic. I'll remember to suggest deleting/re-adding the account first next time this one pops up in here
Yep.. You do that!
About 2 days ago my galaxy S3 started crashing the app when i would i would copy something to clipboard in that particular app. Happened in messages, contacts, and I'm testing what other apps.
but no1 has figured out a fix yet. I am running go launcher and have a feeling that, that might be the issue. I really don't want to factory reset -_- but if I have to i will. anybody?
if you think that Go luancher maybe the issue, why not just download another launcher from the market and see if it goes away while your running that launcher ---- i would do this first instead of a factory reset.

just tried apex launcher, and even went back into touchwiz and the same problem occurs. ill hold down a message or a contact. press copy message text or whatever else, and the black screens and a FC. Stock browser and stock contacts. I tried copying text from an email, but the interesting thing now is if i go to long press in any composition field i don't get a past option. Just a "clipboard" option and pressing that doesn't do anything
Have you tried Wiping Delvik Cache and fixing permissions in CWM??

Hi everyone,
I also had this problem, I found a solution without do a factory reset.
The app in question is TestService.
First you have to clean the directory /data/clipboard, delete everything in it with root explorer. After that, go to manage applications and find the app TestService, uninstall the updates.
After a reboot, copy/paste should work again.

What did you do? Having the same problem since last week. I hope you can help.
It will crash whatever you try to copy from. The factory reset was the only thing that fixed mine seeing as I didn't want to root my S III immediately.

Same thing happening to me on my samsung galaxy tab. Started two days ago, as well. Samsung tech support told me to reset to factory. I don't want to, I have too many apps, picture, videos etc on my tab. BUMMED I read about stopping testservice. Did that, still no joy. Said to clear data/clipboard folder. I checked, and NO clipboard folder can be found in my data folder.
Anyone else having this problem? In my Recent Calls list there are only 4 out of 75 that shows my contact's name & image. The rest just say (unknown) and have the number listed. I looked at these 4 contacts to see what makes them different and I see no obvious differences that would make them somehow poll differently. I've had this issue since I got this phone and am finally fed up with it.
Another problem I'm having that may or may not be related is that when I type on the number pad to search for contacts via number or name... it doesn't work. When I start typing characters of someone's name the results just dwindle down w/o rhyme or reason. For instance, if I type my wife's name... nothing. If I type Chis I end up with three contacts with the name of Chris. That's nice but I have 8 contacts with the name of Chris. When I type any other name there is no results. Coincidentally if I type one of the 4 contacts from the problem above they will show up.
It appears as though there is some sort of disconnect between HTC's phone stuffs and my actual contacts and what not. Is there a cache I can clear or something to get this to work? Some sort of setting to get this to function properly?
Thanks for the help.

Stock ROM, rooted and unlocked bootloader. Contacts are linked to Google, not Facebook. As for cache & davlik... I have had this phone for a while now and this problem has existed since day 1. I have cleared them both for other issues and the problem remains so I don't think that is going to solve it as it hasn't yet. I appreciate the tip though.

Have you tried unlinking your google account and relinking it? Are you on the latest update from sprint (2.13 RUU)? have you fixed permissions?
This happened in 1.22 as well, its a problem with their contact linking. As soon as I linked Google plus and Facebook sense merged the info and disregarded the Google contact info, I had to reset and the numbers came back with out the actual info unless I opened their contact info. When I re linked Google plus and Facebook they came back

I'm on 1.13 still. I don't have Google+ or Facebook linked though as I didn't want to deal with all that mess and the people I actually wanted in my contacts I enter manually into my Google contacts. I don't think this is the cause of my issues.
It sounds like the exact same issue except you haven't linked any info. Maybe it'll be addressed whenever the next update comes. I didn't have this problem until after the second update

I may jump to CM10 once it's final as there's still a few minor bugs that I don't want to live with. In the meantime I just want to get this stupid call history bug fixed. Is there something specific I can clear the cache of or detach and reattach that might resolve this? I did plenty of Google searches and I see some people talking about factory resets but then half of those say that doesn't even work. The last thing I want to do is a factory reset and that is if it was even a know fix for this issue.
It's a bug in sense as far as I could tell, perhaps installing a different dialer from the market that integrates history and contacts will help
Something else I noticed today since I uninstalled GoSMS and went back to the stock SMS app... my contacts aren't showing up in my conversation list or the main screen. Only a couple of them show a picture and name and the rest are all the phone number only. This is especially annoying when I want to find someone in my conversation list to send a text message to because I have no idea who is who. This bug is driving me nuts.
Well, today I found a work around... sorta. If you go into each contact and then set default action under individual settings for each contact (yes... each one) so that the default method is a text message (calling may work too... haven't checked). Once I did this my contacts had images and names in the call log and the messages. I did notice that while I was doing this the first two I did had to be done again for some reason so I don't really know what is going on, what this fixes or ho long it may or may not last but if anyone else finds this... here's a possible fix.
Nope... still doesn't work. I thought I found this band-aid fix to make it work but after a few days it went back to not being linked. No contacts photos and no names. Just a bunch of phone numbers in my SMS list and my call log. This is very frustrating. Is there a cache I can clear or something other than the phone's main cache and dalvik? Is there an app in my app list or two that I can clear the cache of to get this to reload properly? I don't want to go back to GoSMS (too much spam and too much fluff) and it doesn't fix my call log anyway.
You could try clearing data from contacts storage in app settings or the 3 people apks then resync and see if that helps
Did you fix permission? This happens to me after I do it

Why would I need to fix permissions if I'm on the stock ROM? I thought that was only something you needed to do if you changed ROMs, no?
Not necessarily, if you do something as simple as restore a backup with titanium you might have to fix permissions, if you format internal and restore apps, you might have to fix permissions. If you change something in the Rom like remove bloat, it might affect other apps and you might have to fix permissions.
There's contact storage, then you have people, its broken down into 3 seperate pieces. Each one is responsible for different features like contact linking and contact sync from other accounts

I've rooted an unlocked... that's about it. If this could be my problem then I need to know how to fix it. Also, I get an error message whenever I open Titanium Backup saying that my device ID has changed and it asks if I wanted to change it back. I keep putting that off because I had hacked DropBox to get like 77gb of storage using the LTE Evo and then the SGS3 hack. After an update it lost the SGS3 storage space so I was going to look into this again and how my device ID applied before I did anything. I'm to the point now where I don't even care about the DropBox thing anymore and should probably figure out how to proceed with this whole device ID thing that TiBackup keeps warning about. Not sure if that could have any relation to this problem but seems like it could so that's why I just mentioned it.

So there are 3 different APKs for this? So I need to find each one in my installed list and clear data/cache? Any idea what they're called if that's the case so I clear the right ones?
All 3 are named people, the device id problem sounds like build.prop but Im not sure because I'm not entirely sure what you did
