Updated to the firmware XXBLFB
Started Getting an error "process com.android.phone" has stopped working.
Have tried to factory reset my device 4 times now. Each time there is an error notification saying :"Unfortunately, Touchwiz home has stopped".
Also still getting the error "process com.android.phone" has stopped working when i get calls from specific contacts, not all.
Always occurs while restoring contacts, but the 1st 2 times I was using Mybackup pro, then tried using the vcf file I had created on my microSD and the last time tried using the Sandisk application.
WTF is wrong?! Royally pissed with this phone now man
Any Solutions?
P.S. Have not rooted the phone and wasn't planning to do so in the near future!
I have a similar issue with phone.process crashing. Here is what all I have tried after OTA
- Stop using Custom Ringtones ( Didnt work )
- Reset/Reformat the device completely ( Didnt work )
One thing that comes to my mind is that when I formatted the phone , I did have a longish conversation with a friend without anything crashing. This started to reoccur when I installed facebook contact sync ( to bring in contact photos ).
This closely aligns with the problem you are having with contacts not uploading. I have disabled the contact sync and removed all the pictures which were bought in by that application. I will wait to see if the issue re-occurs.
PS : can you change the tread name from Touchwiz Crashing to Phone.process crashing that would make it move visible.

Yep.. without contact photos ( imported via facebook ) . This seems to be running fine. Had couple of calls no issues.
I will post back my end of day to confirm.

Were you using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync&feature=search_result or the official facebook app to sync contacts?

Go to recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache and reboot. Save files to the pc first. Conflicting settings and scripts.

Process “com.android.phone stops responding”
Can’t make a call, can’t receive a call. The screen goes blank and all buttons stop responding, until the crash error dialog comes up. Then the signal disappears and reconnects to the network again.
I have done a factory reset. The problem appeared to have been solved but still occurs with a few specific contacts. Please help.

Were you using the same app "facebook contact sync"?
Almost confirmed that it was being caused by this app. Synced my contacts using haxsync. No issues at all.

Nope. I used the official Facebook app.
Anyhow, that was before doing the factory reset. It's crashing all the same even after a factory reset, and before syncing with fb.

After a factory reset what exactly happens for you? What's the error msg?
Does it happen even without syncing google contacts?

The Error Message remains the same: "Process com.android.phone has stopped working"
I'm unable to replicate it by creating a new contact. I think the problem lies with Samsung Sync. Only specific contacts are creating problem. On my phone, these have a number of phone numbers attached. I just extracted some of them to another contact, and that works fine. It works without any issue even after replicating the entire information.
However, the old contact file seems to be the problem, I tried changing the numbers and then calling, it gives the same error. Maybe a caching issue?
Curiously, the same was working just fine before the upgrade.

I can confirm that the issue is only specific to where the display picture or ringtone is customized. I just went a day without having any issues.
When I sycned back using facebook contact sync again, the issue reoccurred.. hmm.. strange !
I'm unable to replicate the issue with any contact now.
I was earlier using Samsung Sync and now am using Google sync.
Adding custom photos and ringtones to the contacts has no effect now.
Haven't tried a facebook contact sync yet.. Will post the results.
Puzzling...
Hi Guys,
I had exactly the same problem, I was using the official Facebook sync and Facebook Contact Sync. I removed both completely and so far this seems to have sorted it out.
Contacts
I upgraded from an HTC Incredible and tried to import my contacts from my SD Card. Once I did that, all this started happening. I deleted all my contacts and reverted to what came in from Verizon's backup assistant utility (thank goodness for the Titanium Backup) and all is well now. Unistalling Facebook didn't make a difference. Something with the contacts seems to have been causing the crash.
I was facing the same problem for the past two days.
No amount of factory resets would solve the issue. So I came to the conclusion that something was wrong with the phone.apk in the firmware itself.
On a hunch, I flashed Criskelo's Disable-Increasing-Ring mod.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700174
WORKS PERFECT NOW!!
Posting here so that it may help somebody.
I have the same problem.
Everything was fine since yesterday I instaled the new firmware update.
My phones has the original rom, nothing has been made to it.
Incoming calls and Outgoing:
Phone rings
Back screen
Pop up with "the process com.android.phone has stopped". Accept.
Please, some help.
Thank you.
Buy an iphone problem solved lol jking this only happens when flashing roms. Try fix permission in rom managaer and install busybox.

Hi all,
I have searched the forums and google but couldn't seems to find a solution...
I noticed that my SGS3 with omega rom v27.1 is not receiving all sms sent to me.
I cannot reproduce the problem as the phone just randomly not registering a sms sent to me, it does not have a pattern (e.g. from a certain person) for me to trace the source of the problem.
I thought it was the stock sms app that is causing the issue so I am now using Go sms but still losing sms every now and then.
Is there anyone had a same/similar issues and know how to resolve it?
Thanks.

That is odd, normally you either get sms or don't. If you don't then it's normally a fault APN configuration. Have you tried fixing permission in recovery as well as wiping dalvik and cache? Might try those to see if it gets better
i registered just to reply to your question as i know how frustrating it is!
I had the same problem. Hopefully it will solve yours unless u had done a little more than what i had done.
I was using a third party sms app (handcent) and so disabled the stock messaging app as i didnt need it. this caused my phone to receive messages i sent myself about a minute later! and was fixed after enabling the stock app and the a quick reboot. Try it!
If not, a full flash to your rom or stock rom will most definitely fix it. But thats the long way.

Its not odd at all.
I was receiving one of every two texts sent by the same person.
Furthermore, when the text was preceded by a network prefix requesting a delivery report such as *0# for O2, i always received it.

Thanks for your reply, I have also had my stock messaging app enabled but obviously that does not solve my problem.
I might reflash my ROM and see how it goes.
temporary solution for you
Me too I have the same problem. I found a fix you have to install Ghostly SMS.
This issue was repported to Google. Can't post outside link.
Look like a problem when you have low memory. I use a custom rom Omega v42 which limit text message to 1000. I just lower it to 200 to see what happen.
What is your SMS limit?
Are you running low in memory?
Hello all,
I've tried searching for this but found no result.
I have owned in the past a samsung i9300 and have now upgraded to the i9305.
They were both running stock samsung roms, tipically the TPH 4.1.2 for UK. Only mod so far is root.
I have had some trouble with location based apps such as foursquare. The app works fine and is able to find my location using wi-fi/3G data. Although, after a few hours/couple days I get an error saying "your connection is wonky" and then shows me the venues of the past location. Whatever I do the location only comes back after a device reboot.
I have found this happen only when I have the "economic" mode on. But turning it off after the error appears still doesn't solve, it must off since the reboot. This happened on both devices and the most awkward thing is that Google Maps shows my exact location when foursquare is unable to do that. I know it is not a problem related to the 4SQ servers, as I have found this to happen on other samsung devices.
Anyone knows what this is about?
Thank you

Yes it does.
This problem also happens in Facebook, whereas it is unable to find my location.
But as stated above, whenever this happens G Maps works just fine.

YES! Annoying as hell!
I had this same problem after installing an app that, I think, was written for the Gear 2, and quickly (sloppy) patched to work with the S..
I did most everything I could to get the error to stop, but once the issue starts...that's it...the remedy is within the currently inaccessible system files.
In the end, I had to do a full reset AND setup. And, FYI, I was unable to use the restore function from any of the previous backups (this only replicated the error).

w-home not responding problem
I had the exact same problem and had to reset without restore. Problem is probably related to one of my recent installs, most likely one of the following (sorry I am not able to narrow it down further):
euronews EXPRESS
Thomson Reuters
Smart Hub
Bike!
vCounter
News Republic
Anybody else notice same problem since installing one of the above?

It seems that there is a number of applications that can trigger it. I do not know enough to spot what they have in common but I found another culprit: Appy Geek for Gear. Keep it installed you face the problem in one of its notifications. Uninstall it, the problem is gone.
It also seems that until you find which app gives you the problem, there is a way to avoid it: Turn Notifications off from the Android Gear Management app.
I don't have any of those apps and I had the device do that to me as well. I rebooted the Gear and the issue continued, but once I cleared all 50 of my notifications, I haven't had that problem.

Was able to clear notifications and that seemed to resolve it. The timing was every 2-3 days for me and then the lock up would start. I have minimized notifications to only the most critical ones (which makes sense). So far so good.

I hada same trouble with news republic... Very annoying!
Actually, as somebody else said it is because of the notifications. The apps don't really do anything to the watch unless they're running and they crash your phone. I would've assumed that notifications would clear from the watch once they were cleared from the phone but they just accumulate over time. The problem seems to be that each new notification adds another page to the homescreen to the left. Just clear your notifications every once in a while and it will stop freezing up, it did with me.
I have a Verizon LG G3 running stock/rooted 4.4.2.
Today, for the 2nd time, I started receiving the unfortunately, the android.process.acore has stopped error It pretty much just constantly pops up, non stop.
Last time a few months back, I fixed it with a factory reset (annoying).
Today, it started again. I tried clearing contacts and contacts storage and google service framework, but none of that helped.
Wound up doing another factory reset.
This time, it was working fine until I added an exchange account to sync calendar and email and then I started getting the error again. I don't think that was the trigger though because of what else I figured out.
It appears as if I uninstall facebook, the error goes away. I tried uninstalling facebook, clearing contacts and contacts storage and then reinstalling, but it starts again once it gets reinstalled.
I've done this back and forth enough times now that it's clearly being caused by the facebook install. It starts as soon as I log into facebook after I install it.
I guess at least it's nice to know I can uninstall facebook and I'm good, but I want to use the facebook app still.
So now what?

throw fb in the trash, its the devil lol
there are a bunch of possibilities, i would start by looking for any apps you may have deleted or disabled. fb may be trying to use one and cant, thus the crash.
i found that suggestion, and more, here. wassnt specific to fb, but some of the fixes seem universal.

Actually from the link you posted a couple of people also said they uninstalled facebook and it fixed it.
I haven't changed the apps that I've got disabled in a very long time. I doubt facebook is looking for something else. I'm really stumped here. I install fb and the phone starts going crazy with these errors, uninstall and all is good.
There's got to be way to fix this.

hi,
my lg g3 s gorilla glass and the digitizer got damaged, but there is no impact on the display, its clear.
this error starts poping up.
i changed the whole display set , its a duplicate one, not the original lg s.
still the error pops up.
i think the error arises because the software is detecting it as a duplicate.
but at the same time, its getting triggered by fb messenger and whatsapp.
i think its time to go for a cutom OS.
