marshmallow contacts app won't start, "require this permission" message displayed
Hi all, hoping some kind soul can help me. My girlfriend has a ZTE Zmax running Android 6.0.1, not rooted.
She can't get into her Contacts app (stock android contacts app). When she taps the Contacts app icon on the home screen, the message "Require this permission" appears. is displayed and the Contacts app does not open. I've searched but haven't found a fix yet.
Things I have tried, didn't help:
- checked permissions for the contacts app. all the following permissions are granted Calendar, Contacts, Location, Phone, SMS, Storage.
- checked permissions for the launcher app.
- tried launching Contacts from the App Drawer instead of Home Screen
- tried a different launcher (Google Now launcher)
- cleared data and cache for the Contacts app
- Force Close and Reboot
- wiped the Cache partition from Recovery
- Disable button for Contacts app is greyed out.
Any ideas? The "Require this Permission" message is strange. Maybe the intended meaning is "This requires permission", but I can't figure out where to grant the permission.
Same exact issue
I found this same exact issue on my mother's phone. Same model phone and version of Android. I searched and could only find this post. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hey guys,
Got a weird problem that just cropped up and need help. I was trying out a new email app - Moxier Mail yesterday and it completely hosed my contacts/People stock app. I've deleted Moxier, and cleared data from my People app and let it resync, but for the vast majority of my contacts, the 'Edit Contact' button from the menu is now gone.
The only options showing from the menu are:
-Link
-Set Speed Dial
-Save to SIM
-Print
-Set default action
-Edit tabs
I've cleared data on the Contacts, on Facebook for HTC sense, on Touchdown contacts, even cleared Dalvik, etc and nothing is working to bring the 'edit' back.
What can i do?
Hi
I have a Motorola XT319 Android 2.3
I tried to save some space linking (LINK2SD) the contacts app and contact storage app.
I first had to Move them to user app (as they were system apps) and then proceeded to link. All went well but when I tried to open the PHONE app y will NOT load. Nor the CONTACTS app. I tried to UNlink it and switch it back to system app but it wouldn't.
I can't make any phone calls. PLEASE HELPPPP!!!!
Problem Update
I got no answers so far so I deleted all cache and data files and restablished factoru settings. Since reboot, I keep getting to error messages, One recarding android.process.acome and the other Google Frameworks. They keep poping up over and over. The dialer will know load, but the contacts WILL NOT.
Contact Sync is IMPOSIBLE and even though I unselect the sync option, the errors keep poping up.
I believe the problem has someting to do with the contact app.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Hello, my Atrix 4G (MB860, Android 2.3.6, 4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.US) got new problem, currently the biggest (it's really worth than one day on battery working or error updating on 4.5.145 firmware). Phone is unlocked, rooted.
The full error that reads is:
"The application Contacts Storage (process com.motorola.contacts) has stopped unexpectedly Please try again."
Then I get a Force Close.
This error appears after viewing a contact or trying to add a new one. It makes really hard to call on contacts second or third number...
I did some internet searching, and what comes up most often is people having frozen some application (usually Yahoo Mail). I haven't frozen anything before it stopped working.
It all happened today after couple of app updates (Endomondo Sports Tracker, Evernote, Hex Editor, Lan plugin for Total Commander, Skype, Smart Compass, Speedtest, Winamp, Yandex Navigator, Lookout Security), Lookout Security is already uninstalled.
More internet searching led me to an answer that seems to help most people: replacing the files in /system/app:
blur_yahoo.apk
blur_yahoo.odex
YahooContacts.apk
YahooContacts.odex
Mine weren't missing, but I went ahead and got the Linux 2.3.6 versions of those files, copied them over, changed the permissions to 644 and the owner/group to root, power booted (battery out), and no good.
Another suggestion was renaming the two BlurContactsSync files to *.bak. Did that, then reboot... no change.
Also tried to use "ExDialer & Contacts" it's getting the same error when adding contact but gives ability to view contact.
The last thing I did was a complete restore of all apps and data with Titanium from a backup back when I know contacts was working. Reboot. No fix.
I'm now at a complete loss. Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
Go into cwm and fix permissions, then clear cache and reboot. Once rom booted, go to settings and clear contacts app's data. That worked for me, althrough i lost all contacts, i synced them again

Problem in Endomondo
I too got the same error message as you, and also like you I have Endomondo. But I have Android version 2.3.5 and it is NOT rooted, just out of the box operating system settings.
I tried clearing the data first for Endomondo under "Manage Apps" but that didn't help. Then I uninstalled it and cycled power on the phone and when it came back up I could look at the contacts. Yey!:laugh:
Let me know if this helps.
Hey there,
I have a major problem with the official Twitter App. I don't receive any notifications. When I go into settings, my username and then Notifications, all the different kind of notifications are "OFF". Then I activate them (mentions, retweets, favs etc.) and I get the following message:
"You can only connect 25 devices to your account"
(at least this should be the right translation into English)
What I've done so far: Logged out from the app, revoked the access for the Twitter App at twitter.com/settings/applications and re-logged in into the app. Same problem.
Revoked the access of all apps in my account, deinstalled the app, re-installed it, same problem.
Reflashed the ROM, same problem.
I really don't know what to do anymore. There are no search results with this problem either... Do you have an idea?
Thanks in advance!
Hey everyone,
I'm using the POCO M4 Pro,
Intially i had set up my google accounts on my phone, and when logging in on any computer or device, I could choose the choose yes on my device, and I would get a notification to log in, choose a number and could get in to my google account.
Now the signin prompt / notification doesn't show at all...
What I've tried: re-enabling notifications, permissions, checking all the notification permissions for chrome, play services and google, making sure they're all updated...
Please help
