So my phone keeps telling me i have a text from my sister, but when i go to the inbox there is nothing there, so i will clear the notification from the dropdown menu. but every time i get another text say from one of my friends, the one i cleared from my sister will show back up again, but once again its not in the inbox, and its been doing this for about a week now. has anyone else had a problem like this?
Try this, go into your messaging app and delete the whole thread with your sister. See if that gets rid of the notification reapearing. If not, reboot the phone. And if that doesnt fix it either call tmob (if that is your cell provider) or try a factory reset (this will erase all the programs you have installed and settings so do as a last resort unless you like setting up your phone again).

yeah i have deleted the whole thread, that didn't work. and it only shows up if i have chomp installed? i have uninstalled it and re-installed it but it keeps showing up.
Hmm, you have another phone you can put your sim in? If so try that, see if you get the sms on that phone. If so delete it. Reboot the secondary phone and see if it shows up again. If not, put the sim back in the G1 and see if it comes back. Otherwise Im thinking a factory reset is in order.
Maybe its saved on the sim. Go to setting on the messaging app and check your saved sim messages.
Hello, everyone,
I hope this is the right forum, but please feel free to move it to the correct one.
My wife's HTC Dash (on a Rogers plan) began acting strangely yesterday. She said she was in the middle of texting when the Comm manager screen came up. When she finished her text, the shortcuts along the top of the screen were all missing, and when she tries to use them, it says something to the effect of "Error opening the shortcut of locating the target filename." I can't say exactly how this happened, since I was not with her at the time.
She can still send and receive text messages by highlighting the "Text Messages" section of the homescreen, and she can still access her contacts for calls and texts. The calendar can still be accessed through clicking on appointments in the home screen, but not through the shortcuts. Also, where the Comm Manager usually is on the home screen, it is now blank, but I can click on it and access the Comm Manager screen.
When I open the Start Menu, the only icon that remains is the T-Mobile "Set up Email" option. I can also not sync the phone to the netbook it's set up on. When I plug the phone in, it is recognized by the computer but in Mobile Device Centre program, it imply says "Error."
UPDATE:
I can plug the phone into the computer and it will be recognized. I can also use file explorer to see the files in the phone. Also, the phone will not let me change ring modes (Normal/Meeting/Silent/etc)
Has anyone had this issue before, and would a factory reset correct the issue? I told my wife it's likely she will lose her contacts, but she's not too concerned about it, since she can get those back easily enough. She just wants the full functionality back. She does not use the phone for email, so I can't speak to that.
Thanks for taking the time to read all this. I hope someone can help us!
Thanks
I'm sorry, but i can't help you with your problem, but you don't have to loose the contacts etc from the device as you are able to connect to a pc.
Find a program called 'jeyo mobile compagnion' you can download a demo from the official website,and you can make a back up of contacts, sms and call histtory
btw, afaik you probably have to make a hard reset (factory reset).
good luck!
I recently change wireless carriers here in Australia from Optus to TPG which in fact share the exact same network. Optus renting out bandwidth to TPG. A few days into changing over i noticed that i was intermittently able to message my girlfriend and only my girlfriend.
When i was unable to message i would get the upside down smile face and the try again message in the messaging hub even when she was standing right next to me with her phone. I then would test it messaging my dad on the same network and my mum on a different network and it worked perfectly both ways. I have noticed that if i get her to message me sometimes it allows me to message her again successfully.
So last night i got fed up, delete her contact from window live re added it then did a hardware restart. When the restart i could not get my Data connection to work at all and I noticed this first of when originally logging into windows live. I then notice in the Market place I was missing HTC apps, and Music, I did another hard reset and Music Shows up but when I clicked on it then I clicked the link to get unlimited music which logs into my Zune account, the music button disappeared from the market place again and still not HTC apps.
I did another hard reset and then i got only had Apps and Games option in market place, no music or HTC apps. I turned my phone on and off and then i got this. http://i43.tinypic.com/1op1l1.jpg
To get rid of it i had to pull the battery but it worked fine after, i then did a soft reset and got HTC, MUSIC back in the market place but i was unable to download the connection manger as i got an error. I wake up this morning and my data connection is working so its possible the network is down or my phone is honestly a broken. Any help would be great.
i think the sms problem is your carrier problem, and, the red-green-blue screen is the spl mode, a place where you can flash your phone (not anymore for bootloader 5.x, you need a goldcard to do that). you'd better goto htc service center to not to risk your device.
I'm in a similar situation. Using a tmous hd7 on simple mobile. When I first start my phone fresh, data doesn't work so I skip live sign-in. Then I go all the way to the main screen then connect to my WiFi network. After that sign into your live acount. Wait a minute or two for HTC apps to show in marketplace. Next download and install HTC connection setup. After install open app and at the bottom tap the "..." and tap manual select. Wait a few seconds and select your carrier from the list.
Works fine for me everytime. Sometime HTC apps don't show right up in marketplace after I sign into my live account bit it will.

After installing Liquid Smooth RC7/8/9 I was having problems where after a day of updating apps, restarting phone, etc, I wouldn't be able to take calls anymore.
My phone would ring, but when I swyped to answer, com.android.phone would force close and hang up, giving the caller busy signal. What was worse, I would have NO call log of who called, which sucked if I got a call while at work and unable to see who was calling on the screen.
I tried numerous factory resets and it would happen again, no matter how few apps I installed (1 at a time), I cleaned my contact list out on the PC after logging into my gmail account, deleting multi-entries where importing had overlapped/doubled/quadrupled contacts in the vcf file, cluttering my phone.
Cleared cache, fixed permissions, rebooted.
Finally I uninstalled facebook app after reading that contacts from social network, rebooted.
Still was getting error of android phone stopped working.
I think i boiled it down to the radio/network acquisition on reboots.... Only thing that seemed to work now was taking out my sim card, putting it back in and going to Mobile Network settings and putting it back to LTE GSM/WCDMA under network mode, reselecting my NEtwork Operator and Access Point Names..
Really annoying problem because I don't know if it's rebooting the phone that causes this, apps installed in combination with the contacts list, or what.
Thought this might help some people in case they were experiencing similar things.
Curious...
It sounds like a sync error of some sort with your contacts... it can be from the app side or from the Google side...
If you don't then possibly the sync services are jammed up on the phone app.
Goto Manage Apps>All Apps>Phone and clear the data for the Phone and reboot...
A lot of times it is the Facebook issue...
Hope that helps...

Yeah It is bizzare... I uninstalled facebook and left contacts alone to eliminate this from the equation.
On reboots, sometimes when I'm trying to select network carrier , it takes FOREVER to load the different carriers... I've come to the conclusion that if it takes forever to load/see the phone carrier options, chances are the com.android.phone will crash AND/OR it will work but i won't get call volume (neither phone can hear volume from the other) sometimes even when com.phone.android doesn't crash when phone rings.
Im thinking it's almost hardware related with the radios inside interfering or something...
I just had the original problem, reboot the phone, reselect the carrier (no delay/lag) and everythign works again.
I tried toggles up at the top after reading some stuff about how the GPS toggle has to be on/off ... when Wi-fi is toggled on, my cell-tower reception bars AND wi-fi icon are blue.. when WiFi is disabled, those reception bars turn grey... I thought this had something to do with it also, but it doesnt.. I'm getting calls with volume and no crashes now regardless of whether wi-fi is on/off or whether the phone is plugged in to the charger or not.
Right now, it's based on whether or not my phone boots in a "good" or "bad" mood it seems... very tempermental. I'm not blaming the Rom.. but it definitely seems to be carrier/hardware related that is causing the software (phone app) to go bonkers. I'm going to go back to installing my apps again for the 9000th time/factory reset.
[SOLVED]
I can not get into the phone call (green phone button) to the dialer, this is the main problem; when I open it, it hangs for a few seconds then I get a message box centered in the middle of the screen: Contacts has stopped. - only OK button to press; and pressing returns to homescreen.
Everytime after sending an SMS I get: "messaging has stopped", although still I can send.
I can access the contacts normally and also everything else is fine. when I start calling someone from there, it works also fine, with the resemling dialer(?) look while talking. But then right after finishing call, again a message pops up: com.android.phone has stopped
- resulting that the calls are not being logged.
the app "GO Contacts Ex" would be ok as an alternative, but here again, after the call ends, the message comes up: com.android.phone has stopped. also other apps like contact+/dialer+ and exDialer&contacts seem like that all using somehow com.android.phone in the end and causing that error message box coming up.
if no fix, is there an alternative app totally replacing the usage of com.android.phone? so that I could use another app?
I have found and tried some suggestions from google to this problem, but none of them helped..
deleting cache in: apps -> all -> contacts memory and contacts and phone, & reboot; - several tries, also SIM card out, and reloads, re-sync;
uninstalled recent updated apps; reboots, sim out, re sync etc.
It seems like there is one small thing interrupting but I can be wrong.
I dont wish to do a factory reset first, and lose all my apps and settings. Before doing that desperately, I would like know if someone could help me out in here? It could be one small setting or stuff to do
I am using JB 4.1.2 rooted
it is possible that I disabled some important processes earlier which caused that, but I enabled them all again and restarted, still nothing changed. otherwise this problem started surely after recent app updates, which i also tried undone and checked
any help is appreciated!
SOLUTION
1. Just stop and deactivate the apps "phone", "contacts" as well as the "logsprovider". And delete each caches.
2. Reboot. Activate these apps. Reboot again.
Another reason for "com.android.phone has stopped" coming up is when you previously deactivated com.movial.ipprovider, or if it is damaged, which is needed to connect to the internet. The error starts coming permanently as soon the phone trys to connect to the internet.
Solution: just stop com.movial.ipprovider, delete its cache and reboot! (or reinstall it)
I can avoid the first two problems (contacts and messaging has stopped) by simply using a different app which I at least like better (Dialer+ / Contacts+ including sms), and have deactivated the stock versions now (contact and messaging). - and I am happy with that!
the problem with com.android.phone still remains after each call, for both incoming and outgoing. the bothering thing is that error message box, and that the calls are not being logged at all, but sms messages are logged fine.
(I could not find any app that could be an alternative to this com.android.phone, similar to the contacts and messages app. all the 3rd party caller and dialer apps uses com.android.phone in the end when dialing. if i uninstall com.android.phone, there is only skype as an alternative to call. and uninstalling skype gives then no possible ways to call a number. so I need to fix this somehow.)
problems:
1. message "the process com.android.phone has stopped" after every calls.
2. no calls are logged
please find attached a logcat logs when that happens, maybe someone can understand what is causing this (look for com.android.phone).
what is for example E ActivityThread: Failed to find provider info for logs ?
and what can you suggest me?
I got it !!!
I searched and located the file on where the calls logs are being saved: data/data/com.sec.android.provider.logsprovider/databases/logs.db
As I thought it could be damaged. I cleared the cache from LogsProvider and restarted it, and the error is now gone since then!
But clearing also deleted all the files in its folder including the logs.db. Unfortunately it doesnt recreate this files, even after a reboot. How can I get these structure and basic files again?
Can someone copy this for me? or can I use any logprovider files from internet?...
will check ...
SOLVED !!!!
after reactivating Contacts & Phone, also a brand new folder structure with logs.db was recreated automatically !!!!!
Everything is running smoothly now!!! yay!!!
Just FYI and to summarize, in case it happens to you. it was either logs.db file or something in logsprovider folder damaged.
SOLUTION: just stopped com.android.phone and logsprovider service, and deleted the cache from both. then reactivating them should be ok! then just reboot!
cheers
You mention this "reactivating" step. Can you explain more about how to do this part?

Hello Kenkamm,
1. Just stop and deactivate the apps "phone", "contacts" as well as the "logsprovider". And delete each caches.
2. Reboot. And activate these apps. Edit: reboot again.

I was looking at this and hoping these drastic moves could fix the reason I cannot share my contacts using the share command. It force closes afterwards.
Sadly, I've tried all of this and my contacts still cannot share. So you have any idea what could be wrong with my Galaxy S Relay? I am rooted (but using stock 4.1.2) at this time, and have only removed bloatware such as Evernote, Slacker, etc.
Thank you !!

Worked like a charm on Samsung S5 Mini.
sorry @furboom1240 i missed that topic here and didnt see your message earlier. but i have no idea what could have solved your issue either. it relates to something else i guess, hope u had luck in the meantime and solved
@DeViBos thanks another new user and first post, i appreciate! welcome to xda and have fun
Is it possible to try this method to other brand like HTC example? Because Phone can't force stop and there's no logsprovider. Where it can be found?
Just as I will do now. Thank you sooooo much I thot my phone was a hacked mess. The world just became a better place!

Sorry for waking an old thread. I am facing a similar problem.
My Device is -
Xiaomi Redmi 1SW (Rooted)
Android 4.4.4
MIUI 7.2.3.0 KHCMIDA
I have removed all bloatware as mentioned in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xia...-to-remove-bloatware-list-miui-t2999283/page2) and also another app called 'Xiaomi Service Framework' if these are causing the problem.
I was earlier facing this problem when I was using MIUI 7.1.1.0 KHCMICH (Rooted and Xposed installed). It suddenly started occurring as soon as I connected my phone to the PC before even doing anything. The pop-ups (Unfortunately Phone has stopped) became irritating. Luckily, I had USB debugging enabled. I connected the phone to the computer and put the following in the CMD -
adb devices
adb shell
su
pm disable com.android.phone
exit
exit
exit
Then the window stopped appearing. So I (mark this) turned off Wi-Fi and disconnected phone from PC. I was using the phone normally for few hours. But I realized that outgoing calls on my phone were not possible (the system dialer (com.android.contacts) closed after pressing the call button) and no incoming calls were being recorded (I use the in-built call record feature in the system dialer app). So I connected my phone back to the computer and wrote
pm enable com.android.phone
in place of pm disable com.android.phone keeping all above mentioned commands same.
This time the window did not appear. I was able to make and record calls perfectly. But on the same day, when I again switched on Wi-Fi, the window started reappearing. So I used my device by keeping the com.android.phone disabled for few days.
After few days, I got an OTA update to MIUI 7.2.3.0 KHCMIDA. I thought it would solve the problem.
I also wanted to reset my device because it had lot of junk. So, I flashed the update, rooted the device, removed all bloatware apps again (which came after the update) and shut down my phone. The error window hadn't appeared yet though com.android.phone was enabled and Wi-Fi was connected.
Then I booted into recovery and erased the cache and data partitions (NOT the internal storage). Then after phone was booted and as soon as all setup was done, the error window started coming up again.
So, I don't think that data/data/com.sec.android.provider.logsprovider/databases/logs.db has any problem because it was erased completely after I wiped data.
I need HELP !!!
I get the same message (com.android.phone and a few others) over and over again and my phone is veeeeery slow. It all started after I put my SIM-card into the phone for the first time. I have an S7 with SuperMan-ROM installed. I can't deactivate my "contacts", it just doesn't let me push the deactivate-button. Plus I can't find the phone-app or logsprovider. Is there a different appmanager apart from the stock which I could use to delete and deactivate?
Hi
i have problem in samsung j5 2016 regarding com.android.phone has been stop this message shown after each second and also not showing mobile network
