If the process com.android.phone repeatedly force closes... - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hopefully anyone else that might be having this problem can find this thread, because there are tons of them but none suggested what worked for me:
Info:
HTC Incredible, 2.3.4, rooted but stock with crap apps removed
After attempting to clear the dialer storage (trying to delete all of my texts because my phone will lock up when trying to delete large threads, but that's a different issue), the process com.android.phone started force closing repeatedly. I tried clearing the data for the phone app, but pretty much everything crashed when I tried to (phone froze, notification bar disappeared, etc.). I tried toggling airplane mode and mobile network/data, but the options were greyed out. I tried rebooting and soft resets.
What finally worked was running "Fix Permissions" via ROM Manager (I assume it would work via CWM as well). The whole process froze eventually, with the notification bar disappearing and all that again, but the force close dialogs had stopped. I rebooted my phone and all is back to normal.
Hope this helps someone.

Your post does help.
I deleted phone stock app, because I have that dialer from go devs already...and the message pop up eventually.
Fix permission in recovery of CWM does work. Message gone ! But cannot call lolz....

I had the same problem with all of my custom roms I was trying on my Nexus S and I found the exact problem (after months) and how to fix it...pretty easy
The problem is the Stk.apk, just remove the Stk.apk from the rom (in the .zip file) or easier than going thru Winzip, just flash the rom do the setup and with ( I use Root Uninstaller ) remove it from system/app and you'll get rid of the problem
Enjoy

I tried all the solutions recommended and nothing worked. I called in to sprint and all i had to do was go to the dial pad and dial ##72786#
Hope that helps if anybody else is running into this problem.

[Q] App update/install fails.

Yesterday i have unlocked the bootloader and rooted my NS. And after this while syncing (automatic) the applications back to the phone, two of the apps failed to sync with the following error.
"App name" could not be downloaded due to an error.
And after this I am not able to install any new apps or update the existing apps through Market.
I tried clearing the cache, restarting the phone, but to no effect.
Then I tried installing the new market (manual download and install) and installation went through fine!!!.
Even with the new market, I am facing the same problem.
I have searched for a soln everywhere but to no avail. Could someone please tell if they have faced it and how to solve this???
Just now noticed another weird thing. When i press install from the site - market.android.com, the apps are getting installed successfully. Even the failed ones.
Have same issues with my NS too...
Any help???
Resolved!!!
This might be the hard way. But it will work. It looks like the issue happened because lot of applications tried to install/update together. And syncronisation didnt happen properly.
First, I tried a factory data reset. After restarting, all apps started getting synced in a bunch. After around 40-50 apps were sync'ed, installation of the remaining failed.
Then I again did a factory reset. After it started sync'ing, i locked my mobile for 4-5 mins, then unlocked it. Onces some 4-5 apps were installed properly, i locked it again. Did it some 15-20 time and finally all my apps were synced properly. And now I am able to install new apps as well.
I did a factory reset too but did not restore my Google account nor I restored my Titanium backup. Fresh start and it works now for me.
Thanks,
Congratulations!
CONGRATS!
WELL DONE BRO!:laugh::victory:

Root Uninstaller Problem

I've used Root uninstaller to remove some applications but accidently i also removed dialer.apk and phone.apk . (phone storage.apk is still here).
After that my phone started vibrating and giving me errors as phone.apk is not responding and that the application needs to close.. I re-booted my phone and it was still the same.. I tried to call but it won't let me. It always gives me the same error over and over again. I installed an application onedialer.apk from google play and it's still the same. I tried to do a factory reset and i will get the error again. Also in the settings pannel - call settings is giving me the error. I don't know anymore what to do. I would need a real help.
My phone; Samsung Galaxy 5 - Gt i5500
Please help me

[Q] Random mms apk force close even with fresh ODIN stock or CWM ROM flash

I have been trying to fix a recurring force closing of the stock Charge messaging app that happens at random times even after a fresh ODIN install of the stock/factory ep4d + Updates ROM or rooted Deodexed stock or Tweaked lite 1 ROM flash and I use the same ODIN and ZIP files that I've had that always worked b4. I have also had a sporadic (afaik) loss of text messages or sometimes receiving the text but no notification. The force close seems to happen randomly when I am in another app and the screen will freeze for about 2 seconds and then I get a force close usually of the mms app though the same has occurred once or twice from other apps including YouTube. This does not seem to be the problem of other apps that I later install because as the image attached shows, it starts happening even before I have set the phone up after an ODIN flash of the factory image. FWIW, the verizon 411 bloatware app always force closes also when I turn the phone on for the first time after ODIN/Stock flash. Any ideas on what could be causing this or what else I could try to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Below is 2 of the message that popped up on first boot after this last time I Odin'd back to stock- There were actually 2 mms and 1 411 app force closes within 5 minutes of startup. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

[Q][D850]

I rooted my phone earlier today but had an issue which caused me to factory restore my phone. After restoring my phone (didn't back up due to me being an idiot and not needing anything on my phone) most system installed apps began not working. When i tried to use the default messaging app, it wouldn't open and it would pop up saying "Unfortunately, (app) has stopped. " I tried to restore my phone once again to no avail. Is there anything I can do to fix my phone or do I have to get a new one?

Phone just crashed and now having problems booting up

So I'm here at work.. working with my phone plugged in, charging, doing it's thing which shouldn't be much when I look over at it there's a bunch of "application x has crashed" and then reboots. Except it only sort of reboots. It sometimes hangs on the reboot, and if I reboot it 3-4 times it might come up into the OS but then all those messages appear again and it'll reboot itself.
I don't think I've installed anything crazy recently and blocked updates a long time ago when I got it, and am rooted with TeamWin recovery on it. I go into recovery and do a fix permissions and permissions and I get a bunch of errors to the effect of "e: xml error parsing file"
I do see that I have a nandroid backup from about 3 months ago that I might just have to try restore, but it's just weird that it seems like the phone just crashed itself. Can anyone think of any options I can try before I do that?
Also I don't think the phone has ever been updated since I got it as I froze/killed that process. Should I try upgrading to the latest? Are there big fixes/security issues that I should be concerned with that would make me want to upgrade?
Thanks for the help.

1. What did you do to that x applications? Did you just disable like location in the privacy guard?
2. Well, try to wipe the x application's data in settings -> app menu. If you can't navigate to there, try wipe all your data via recovery
3. Try to dirty flash your rom
4. Change into another rom
After a bunch of reboots, I was able to get the phone up but half my applications were deleted including Google Play store and most other Google apps including Inbox, Gmail, Hangouts. I might be paranoid, but maybe it was a Stagefright virus, but I have no proof that was it.
In the end I restored my nandroid from 4 months ago and it's now stable. But seriously I wasn't touching it when it started and then proceeded to destroy itself. Very strange behavior.
