stock ICS phone app bug - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
can anybody confirm that the following bug of the phone application is not fixed in the new version (I9100XWLPD). It's even worse.
Let's assume
you have the following contacts:
Andi ABCD
Andreas JHGHJG
Andreas FUGZU
Andree KJHKJH
With I9100XWLP7_I9100DBTLP5_DBT (this is confirmed by samsung):
If i open the phone application and type "And" the number of matches is 4. If i click on "4" a list with the 4 contacts is displayed.
If i type "Andreas" (the complete name) the number 2 is displayed. But if i click on 2 nothing happens.
I hoped that this problem will be solved with
I9100XWLPD_I9100XXLPW_I9100NEELP4_HOME
But know, if i click on "2" the screen is black. After some time a message appears, that the application is stopped and the home screen is shown.
Thanks
Niels

Never had that issue in any ics, which ends with a crash.
Roms tried lp7, lp9, lpd.

Hello,
some details about this problem.
I'm not searching inside contacts. I'm using the stock dialer app (samsung).
I dial 263 (= AND)
All contacts containing 263 or AND (or 2 =A|B|C 6 = M|N|O 3 = D|E|F) are found (number of found contacts) and displayed after clicking on the number of found contacts.
As soon as the number is long enough to contain a local area delimiter, the number of found contacts is still ok, but i cannot open the list with the matching contacts.
Local area delimiter: The dialed number 2637327 is automatically changed to 2637/327
It seems that the number of matching contacts is calculated with 2637327 but the list should be displayed with 2637/327 (no matching conact).
In my scenario all contacts are retrieved from an exchange server.
Niels

no idea what you just described

Hello,
Look at this image as example:
http://www.mobiflip.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/sgs2-dialer.jpg
Let's assume the following contacts:
Andi ABCD
Andreas JHGHJG
Andreas FUGZU
Andree KJHKJH
-Home screen
-click on phone (not contacts)
-dial 263 ( = AND)
-First contact (Andi) is shown. Next to it there is a 4 (4 matches) (in the picture there is a 2)
-click on 4: list with contacts is shown
-close list
-dial 2637327 (Andreas)(2637/327 is shown as number. The / is automatically added because 2637 is a german area code)
-First conctact (Andreas) is shown. Next to it there is a 2 (2 matches)
-click on 2: app is crashing
It's crashing as soon as the number contains the separator (/)

Just use your contacts.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

I talked about this bug already and noone listened...
Now we have a thread about it.
This is present in LP7 LP8 LP9 DXLP9 and XWLPD as well.
Use the t9 dialer select the name, clear the number, search again, lock screen, make a call, search, clear and so on. Sooner or later the t9 stops responding nad you get a big black nothing where the search results are supposed to be.
It is not fixed in XWLPD.

the bug with the "/" also in contacts
hello,
i have the same problem on my SGSII(stock rom).
1. when I try to dial a number it pusts a "/" after second ot third digit and the drop down menu is not working sfter that.
2. i tried to add a contact and when started to enter his number also a "/" sign apeeared after the second digit

Well, I have never experienced that issue on the dialler... maybe a malware/virus infection? I'm not shure about that but I have been reading a lot of malware attacks on android devices last 3 months... maybe you want to investigate a little more about that...
The only issue I experienced on ICS 4.0.3 stock rom was inestability with some apps...

I've had this issue too - albeit intermittently. I just stop the dialler application from the task manager, relaunch and it works almost always.
The frequency of the issue itself is so rare for me that it's not a game breaker - but yeah - annoying at times.

Michy 4.1 rom tweak questions

LOVE this upgrade to my Athena
couple things I'd like to tweak and searches so far havent helped. I'll use this thread as these items come up
1) Voice Command. It doesnt seem to kick in when pushing my BT earpiece button (like voice dial did). I rely on voice dial, any way to turn off voice command and go back to voice dial?
2) Today screen. Any way to add a big clear battery life indicator. I use my Athena so much that i may go to an external battery pack velcroed to the back. For now, I'd like a big precise batt indicator though.
3) Youtube viewer security cookie error. It finds videos and makes thiumbs, but when I go to play one, the security cookie error appears.
4) Message count icons, would like them to be bigger!
5) When pressing on any SMS message from the list, I get bounced back to the today screen (!) and cant read it. Live messages are fine, just sms do this.
6) Can I add more rows of program Icons on the today screen. two just isnt enough!
7) How do I exit from icontacts (which I think is awesome!) but there is no red x to end it.
8) Favorite Today Contacts - how do I set which number it dials for that contact. Most contacts have more than one number and it doesnt sem to allow me to pick which phone number gets dialed for that contact.
Anyway, the GPS seems to lock WAY faster with this rom and 1.58 radio. have others seen this? Very happy as GPS used to take up to TEN MINS to lock at times which made it kinda useless.
Thanks all

1) I have the opposite problems, I cant shut the dam thing up.
2)there is a cab file called qwertymemory & dcibattery that puts two coloured lines each side the task bar.
3)Don't know, mine does it though
4)try using michy large today plugin cab file
5)Don't know
6)there is a program in the rom called tray icons that does this
7)try the settings in WKtasks
8)don't know
Update - little progess
Okay, I reflashed the rom. No change in SMS closing behavior. The screen shows SMS messages, I can go see the list, but when I tap one to read it get thrown right back to the Today screen.
Also, no change in YouTube, when I try to see a yoityube video it says "failed to get you tube security cookie". I wonder if AT&T blocks it somehow.
I tried the Michy big today screen and it was nice, but too much clock and I wonder if other today screens exist to try, and if so, where are they?
I could not find the "tray icons" program and still need to add a third row of program shortcuts.
Observation: the system=>memory program doesnt show "running programs" anymore. I guess Michy wants to go to task manager for those perhaps?
Update - You Tube fix found
Okay, the rom comes with YouTubePlay v1.0.0.7
the latest one is 1.0.0.11 and that FIXED the issue. In fact the rlease nots shows the fix for that exact error. But funny thing, even though the install of v11 said it would remove the old one, it didnt. Now I have two and one is useless I'd like to remove it but must be part of the rom. Oh well, youtube works *finally* on my device for the first time ever.
Thanks XDA forum !
of course. the 4.1 one is a lot old...it's normal
to michy
Hi Michele,
I was advised here that 4.1 is the most stable. One big issue is that it cannot display SMS messages. The SMS message list shows up but when click a single message to rwead it, the today screen comes right back.
Is this a known issue to you?
Would you suggest a newer ROM even though I need stable as possible?
Thanks for all you do!
Oh question too, what is the difference between 6.1 'diamond' and 6.1 'Full' rom?
thank you!
where can i find a copy of michy's 4.1 rom?
hello there. I tried everywhere to find a copy of the 4.1 ROM by michyprima.. I can't find it anywhere.. all the links seem to be DEAD.. can anyone REUPLOAD it for me? OR send me a working LINK? thank you very much..

2.1 stock Hero ROM annoyance - Contact not recognized.

I just installed the (long waited) 2.1 stock EU ROM.
All looks nice and fast but:
My wife called and the number appeared as (Unkown) caller.
All my contact numbers are in international format, i.e. +country code phone number.
I need to keep this format because I travel abroad on frequent basis.
I did not have this issue on 1.5 ROM but I remember having the same on my previous TouchPro.
Is this an HTC issue?
Thanks.
Please help !!!
Hi...
i got the same Problem...
I hope someone can help!!!
THX
I got another problem ...
The SD Card that is not recognised by some applications like Astro (file deletion generate an error) or RSS application (not possible to access the SD Card).
I had to uninstall and install the apps again.
There's a whole list:
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/17/t/2526.aspx
This is for issues on the Sprint Hero in the US, but since the user interface layer of the software is largely identical most of these issues apply to out Heros too.
What annoys me most is, that they didn't fix old bugs.
You can't select text in the browser with your trackball, which SHOULD work, since they have a special cursor showing up, that hardly moves. At least in 1.5 it moved (although even then you couldn't really use it to select text).
I don't need to select with the trackball, but he current alternative by roughly tracing the text with your finger is NOT accurate at all.
I sent this issue with 1.5 to customer support and back then they replied, that it would be fixed in the 2.1 upgrade. Then, after I saw the Legend and Desire introductions in Barcelona where they showed of those cool Browser features (selecting text with your finger by placing two pins then translation and other stuff pops up) and I was certain this bug is fixed.
So I updated to 2.1 yesterday and behold... the browser doesn't have these features and doesn't allow for precise text selection either
I can understand, that they don't add the new features, but to the expense of keeping a bug??? Why didn't they just add the new selection method without the extended features like translation and such.
Another annoyance for me is that in the Dialer I cannot deactivate the Haptic feedback when dialing
and the second and bigger in my opinion is that the SIM contact are shown in the dialer (on 1.5 they where hidden if you decide to hide in the contact settings)
and in the recieved call, the system decide (I still don't understant how ) if to show SIM or Google contact.
A friend of mine has same problem as you.
He has google contacts and phone contacts.
The number of phone contacts has a blank, juste after the international code. I tried to remove this blank and now the number is recognized.

This did not work for me and it is a show stopper.
2.1 did not bring any value to me so I reverted to 1.5 and I am now a happy camper.

Problems after updateing to 2.1. Help needed

Updated to 2.1 yesterday, and here is the list of problems -
1. the phone is sometimes slow - sometimes as fast as it was with 1.6 (decided by playing angry birds and just browsing the phone)
2. touchscreen is hyper sensitive, writing sms or email is very hard, I try to push once, but the phone pushes number twice! very annoying
3. this time my fault - after synced contacts maybe incorectly and now I have 2 identical phone numbers in each contact name. Any solutions how to delete the these double numbers? Tried to delete all contacts and sync again - phone downloads contacts with 2 numbers again and again.
4. scrolling isn't as smooth as it was on 1.6. maybe it's because of issue no.1
5 any ways to downgrade and not to void the warranty?
sorry for bad english, and thanks in advance for any help
update again with sony ericsson update service

[Q] Contacts app FC on 351 and 354

hi all I am posting this as an "official" question in this section because it's a known issue and it's not been resolved. this issue was briefly (and by that I mean "very few replies") discussed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055407
I am wondering if anyone has come up with a solution or some more hints.
to sum things up:
- in a threaded sms conversation, upon sending AND receiving a message the small contact pictures (both yours and your interlocutors') flash one time (like if they were reloading: you can briefly see the grey android default "no picture" icon meanwhile). this didnt happen on elder builds, and when it happens the phone lags.
- it can happen from time to time that after this strange reloading the pictures won't load anymore and immediately after this, the app will loose sync with contact names too: you'll end with phone numbers anymore like if you had an empty phonebook.
I have found the culprit to be not the messaging app but the contacts app. when this happen, i "just" need to go back to home and tap the contacts app. sometimes it just displays a black screen, sometimes i get a FC message about com.android.process.acore. after pressing the FC button the app will restart and both contacts and messaging will return working normally (although still with the weird reloading thingy).
as far as things go it seems that
- hard resetting / wiping data does not help
- removing and re-adding the google account sync does not help
- it happens on 354 too
- not all users (very few, it seems) are affected by this
- there is no weird backup & restore voodoo procedure implied in the affected streaks
the small amount of users affected by this issue leads me to think we are, in some way, doing something wrong. any help would be greatly appreciated really. thanks in advance folks.

I've the same prob. i was thinking it maybe from my rom (simple streak 1.2) but looks like its not.
yeah it seems to be an issue related to android 2.2.2 (I didn't have this problem on stock 318 rom). I have done some more tries yesterday but I didn't come up with a solution. I even tried to desync google account, remove all contacts etc, and create a new test contact with random picture, well as soon as I insert the picture the problem reappears.
I forgot to mention it in the op but go sms pro seems unaffected.
Contacts app in StreakDroid 1.9.1 does this as well.
I'm going to try and roll back contacts.apk, contactsprovider.apk and mms.apk from stock 318. I have checked the filesizes and they actually are slightly different.
well tbh I am 99.9% confident I will end up having to reflash my phone but oh well..
i'll report back!
EDIT: so here's the news. replacing apps didnt work. ROM 360 is still affected by the issue.
back to the drawing board...

Question Issue: redundant : "Item already copied to clipboard"/ "copied to clipboard"

3 month old Samsung A525G on TMO network (recently updated to android 12 One UI 4.0 but was doing the same prior to update).
Using Gboard, but also happens using Samsung keyboard.
I am having this issue constant little pops ups at the bottom of the screen that say "Item already copied to clipboard" if i copy something, sometimes even if i haven't it seems..but it also appears if i long press in a text field to PASTE something already on the clipboard, and then if i hit paste , it will pop up again' Item already copied to clipboard(even though i just PASTED and item)
I also don't need reminded ever single time i copy something " Copied to clipboard".
Ive done searching and some users seem to think it is related to KDE connect, and uninstalling it resolves the issue( but in the s20/21 series) but i do not have KDE connect installed that i can find.
I do a lot of copy paste and this is really annoying, is there any way to turn off these "reminders"?( i don't think there is) but is there any way to resolve this?
having the same issue on an s10+ andro12 but with swiftkey, also I do not have acces to the clipboard ... a way of samsung to oblige us to use their keyboard ???
The work-around with swiftkey seem to be their own clipboard (on top of the keyboard) which is less comfortable than the way we were all used to do it ...
I am using GBoard on A12 with no problems with clipboard
I don't have that problem but i hate when i have something in clipboard and if i take a screenshot in the meantime clipboard is cleared.
Same here!!
