Unlocked and rooted s3 now I have a crazy problem - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I recently got the copy and paste bug for the Galaxy S Verizon. it was driving me crazy so I decided to root. I did a backup and then I attempted to fix it. The fix worked but then I had a whole other problem. Now whenever I make or receive a call, the screen goes blank and I get the error com.android.phone has stopped. Then my signal goes away and I have to reboot to get it back. I have search multiple forms and found that facebook sync can cause it, as well as some other third party apps with access to your contacts. I do not have a facebook and I have tried to unlink and unsync everything with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas?

Dialer & Contact Issues

First off, Im running the stock ROM. I do have it rooted but havent really done much with it.
Today I wake up and i notice im getting 'Unfortunately, android.process.acore has stopped working" when I try to make a phone call.
It does this after i select the contact and tap on Call.
So I went through the clearing data steps (dialer, contacts, contacts storage)
Then I tried the GO Dialer EX. It will make a call, but only after it pops up with the The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly.
Now when i try to go sync my contacts back to my phone it is saying Sync having issues.
Is this a lost cause that needs to restore or is there a step im missing?
----
Also another odd thing I noticed was that I opened my APP tray earlier and the Contacts app was called People, closed it and opened it back and now its back to Contacts. WTF
Been discussed here:

Google Talk forces close

Stock, unrooted Nexus S. All of a sudden at about 4:30pm this afternoon, Google Talk started force closing every time I click someone's name to send that person a chat. I can open up the app, sign in and out, open settings, etc., and it all works just fine. But as soon as I tap someone's name to open up an actual chat window, it force closes.
Any ideas? Thanks.
same problem. clearing gtalk and google services framework data and rebooting didn't help. however, after starting and stopping videochat the problem seems to be gone...
it looks like there is a problem with some messages because now when i scroll up to look through the history, gtalk just FC's again. it seems that one of the messages is a sort of broken and gtalk can't display it properly.
if my theory is correct, you can just start/stop videochat a couple of times to fill the screen with service messages or send some messages via PC

Restore the whole app if you had backed up with titanium backup or similar apps
WhatsApp status functionality is currently not available. We are working on resolving it soon-ish...

[Q] [HELP!] getting stuff off my phone

So i originally had my phone rooted, but after a couple months of having my phone bother me about updating, i decided to do it. Needless to say, I lost root. I was planning on rooting it again, but my phone got knocked out of my hand and fell, cracking the screen and making it useless (no more touch and screen won't power on). So now i'm trying to pull my contacts and my text messages from the phone, but since it's not rooted, I can't figure out a way to do it. Also, i tried going through adb, but it keeps saying "device not found", even though my phone still powers up and works (I can tell because I keep getting text messages and my phone rings. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get my information off the phone and on my pc? I've also tried using 'MyPhoneExplorer', but it can't find my phone either.
Your contacts will be backed up to your Google Account, but not your texts unfortunately

I've used this app for years:
SMS Backup and Restore
It doesn't back up MMS though (picture messages). You can manually save any pics sent to you via text to your SD card using every text app I've seen, including the stock ones. That said, I suspect by now there are apps that will back up MMS.
Looks like the stock Messaging app can save text messages as well....

Email exchange issues

Hi all,
Just got the nexus 5 and live everything about it except one thing, the email app. I can't tell if it's exchange services or the app itself, but "unfortunately email has stopped" keeps popping up randomly and will not stop. Another wrote thing is that the so manager will not let me wipe data (screenshot). Things I tried:
*rebooting
*deleting the apk through titanium, wiping data and reinstalling
Any ideas? I really need exchange email for work and it's driving me crazy.

Seems you screwed up something with titanium so do a factory reset and flash back to stock and test it out then and see if it all works fine. After that then do some changes slowly to see if it comes back again to narrow it down?
I have this problem with my Nexus 5 as well. It's been this way since I got it. Really, really annoying. This has been an ongoing problem for a while. I wish there was a fix....

I just wiped, flashed factory image and factory reset the phone and still getting these crashes and it is still not letting me wipe data from the app manager...
Any other suggestions? Right now, I'm going to try to delete the exchange accounts but it's not even letting me delete accounts!! I'm going to try to switch to ART to see if that helps at all, and will give an update.
Any other email clients for android that support exchange?? I'm lost at this point and I really tried everything I know before posting.

This is total stock? As if factory image?
I don't think there's much you can do to fix the problem. There are a lot of people in the same boat. If you search Google, there are several posts about the same issue. Last time I checked, there's no fix.

Yeah, factory image and it still didn't work.
I just ended up flashing twrp and cataclysm ROM and that fixed it.

I'm using Touchdown (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid) from Nitrodesk.
Works perfect for my needs
Had battery drain issues with the stock exchange app, so I switched to Touchdown
Hope this helps for you as well
EDIT:
Just read your later post that you switched ROM
cheers
I m experiencing another issue..!!
I get couldnt sign-in error!!
Any solutions for this!!
Dont frget to press the THANK button!!!
Just an update, the new ROM solution was working for a few hours but starting to have issues again with "unfortunately email app has stopped working" errors.
I think it has to be how my exchage accounts are setup:
- One gmail account on IMAP
- 3 Exchange accounts on push notifications and sync all mails
Outside of that setup, nothing special. Anyone experiencing the same?

Now frm some hours i didnt get this error....now workin cmpltely fine!!

One last update (unless it creeps up again). I switched the syncing of emails to date back 30 days instead of "All" and that fixed the "unfortunately email has stopped" messages completely. The HTC One email client never had that issue so I assumed that wasn't the problem but I guess the email client on this phone is a bit more sensitive.
Ok, the problem crept back up again... the error message keeps coming back, and in the app manager, the "clear data" button is greyed out so you can't even start over unless you remove all the accounts.
I would like to ask anyone that has working exchange accounts (multiple) on the native email client share their setup and the app versions etc.
