[Q] com.android.phone crashes during calls after copy/paste fix

The specs: Rooted stock ICS on SCH-I535 (Verizon). So, I was experiencing the copy-paste crash described here, and used this solution to solve it. Ever since that fix, the phone process crashes when making a call. Here's what happens.
1. Open stock dialer, make call. Call connects, but screen is black.
2. Message that com.android.phone has stopped comes up. I click "ok."
3. Icon in menubar disappears and reappears. When pulling down the menubar, the call info is there. Selecting the call (via the green phone icon) brings me back to the black screen, and the stopped message reappears. I can end the call using the controls there, though.
4. Bringing up the Phone app while on the call brings me back to the stock dialer screen, but hitting keypad buttons there doesn't affect the call that I'm on. (i.e., if I'm in an automated system call, there are no keytones received by that system.)
5. When call is ended, it doesn't show up in my Recent Calls list.
I tried installing Dialer One, and get the same results.
Should I just wiped the Dalvik cache again in CWM and see what happens? Other ideas?
I was going to finally upgrade to JB and root (while we're at it, does OTA rootkeeper work here?) anyways, but don't really have time before I'm about to travel again. Any bandaids to fix this in the meantime would be great. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, but I had to do a factory reset and re-root, then use Titanium to restore my backed-up apps.

Not sending or receiving text and phonecall at random.

No Sound / Freezing Issues

This morning my alarm did not sound. Checked all settings everything was set to on.
Tried to call the phone no sound. Re-booted and everything is now working as it should.
Also 3 times in the last two days the screen has frozen and I have had to reboot the power using the power button.
Has anyone else had these issues?
I am using this as stock with the latest OTA update.
Same issue here.
Everything is working fine, but ~1-2 Times a day the Screen stays black and won't turn on again until a reboot via the power button. But the touch is working, because after the reboot some of the apps on my homescreen are moved (because I moved them while whiping on the black screen). Everything else is fine, CM11S Stock latest, *33R.
Just changed the Gov from "Interactive" to "On Demand", no other Modifications.
Greets, Alex
I'm having problems in this area as well, my notification will not work. I do not get any notification sounds at all even though everything is on. My call ringtone work fine, nut no notifications, not from email, or my third part oultook email app, and neither from my SMS's. It was all finw in the beginning but now it just stopped working. I got the phone with 33r and stock, have not done anything to the phone yet, and don't want to, but i cant figure this issue out.......any help would be greatly appreciated......
Same problem here.

I have also same problem... Do you get any solution for this ?
Just realize with your post that I have not posted an update......I like a certified dildo, had my phone in 'night' mode from the advanced power menu.... Put back to normal.....issue resolved......I would prefer more notification choices out the box, but that's easily fixed.....

Perhaps related to Quiet Hours getting stuck?

Interesting. I've been having the same problem, and this prompted me to take a look at my Quiet Hours setting. On the Quick Settings panel I noticed that the Quiet Hours icon was lit. That was odd, because I was well outside of the quiet hours I had set. When I tapped the icon, it would not change. I had to long press, toggle a setting, and exit back out before the icon started working normally again. Now everything seems to be fine. Hope this helps someone; the problem was driving me nuts!
I too have had this issue! No lights, sound and action
But I solved my problem :=) on my own because I'm Mister Wonderful :>
I reinstalled the quiet hours tile.
Then I went into quiet hours setting and changed hours from 00:00 & 00:00 to 01:00 & 07:00. The latter being outside the current time of day I was working in.
Then I went back to the quiet hours tile and turned it off. Holy Smokes this time it actually worked.
Because the power charger was connected the notification lamp began to burn green again. SMS notification sounds were heard. Even "You got mail" wasn't afairid to stand up to be heard.
Another wonderul day in paradise!

Time in notification bar doesn't update and delay in receiving SMS.

I just bought a used S8+ and set it to factory settings. Installed all apps and it looked to be working fine. Now I have 2 issues which I can't troubleshoot myself sk any help would be appreciated!
1. The time in the notification bar freezes and updates in irregular intervals (sometimes it freezes for mroe than an hour). If i turn on or off automatic time it refreshes. The time in the widgets and on my lock screen are correct!
2. There is a HUGE delay in receiving SMS messages! It takes up to 30 minutes to receive an sms, which isn't that great when you want to verify your number in some apps....
If you can help with any of these problems, I'd really appreciate it!
I had this problem, not with my S8+ but with my S7 after looking everywhere trying every app, cleaning, resetting i came to the conclusion it was my carrier who messed it up. Maybe flash it with a stock rom and see if that is going to fix the problem.
Thanks for the info, I was thinking about something like that. I'm going to try and see what it does without ny sim card. The SMS seems to be the sms service and app that were in power saving mode.
Ii hope you will figure it out, always it's the best if you open a thread state what you exactly have example
i have SM-GF955F - Oreo 8.0 - CRB7 - ROOTED
The troubleshooting can go smoother

Is my phone on the way out??

Hi All,
I've had the phone about 8 months, UK model.
About 2 months ago, when scrolling in Wikipedia pages on Chrome browser, the display would alternate between normal and blue light (eye comfort). It still does occasionally.
From a few weeks ago, the keyboard sometimes take about 10s to appear.
A few days ago when on voice call from the phone other person can't hear me but I can them while voice call on Whatsapp is fine both ways. Restarting phone seems to solved it for now.
Then yesterday while trying to access settings from either the home screen or app drawer, it fails but you can see its attempting to as you see the settings screen momentarily then a message comes up saying settings failed to start several times and whether to restore by clearing history. Doing that doesn't work. The only way that I can is to touch and hold the settings icon till the search option comes up and then type the particular setting I want.
Before I do anything to fix this, are these symptoms an indication the phone is on the way to a complete breakdown? Would it be a software problem and I suppose the 1st step to fix is factory reset.
Has anyone experience this on their phone?

Unfortunately it's the Oppo software that causes these issues... We hope we can unlock the bootloader soon and flash custom roms to remedy these problems since Oppo are just incompetent.
Chrome colour shift is fixed by typing into your chrome address bar and type: "chrome://flags" then search "Dynamic Color Gamut" and set it to disabled (or it was enabled, I forget since I didn't have the issue myself)
Oppo uses the wrong microphone on third party apps like whatsapp, signal, instagram etc. and we have to wait for an update to fix that. (Issue has been posted here before)
The rest of the issues you described sound like some software instability caused by the Android 11 update. You should save your data and do a factory reset.
If the issues persist after the reset and you didn't install any dodgy apps or modified the software using adb then consider sending the phone in for repair.
OK thanks for replies. So factory reset then...
