So I am on stock 5.1 unrooted and it takes forever to read contacts. When I go to dialer it takes probably 40-50 seconds to open up and show my last few calls or starred contacts. At times when I am getting a call it doesnt show the contact name even if I have the contact saved.
Suggestions?

Have you tried clearing cache for the Dialer app under App info and rebooting? Not sure what else to try on an unrooted phone other than a 3rd party dialer app.
Yeah I did try those things. Did not work.

Does it only happen in the Dialer app, or also in the Contacts app? These are the only things to try that I can think of:
- Wipe cache for both Dialer and Contacts apps
- [Make sure your contacts are backed up in Google first] Clear data in Contacts App and then force stop, then re-sync contacts with Google
- Boot to stock recovery and wipe system cache partition
- Factory reset phone (obviously would lose data)
Which model X 2014 do you have? Other people may have run into this using the same model.

Tried 1/2/3. No use. I don't want to factory reset yet. That's my last resort. Any other way around.
P.s. for the life of me I don't know how this ended up in the accessories section requesting MOD to shift to q&a

Needed to clear data from contact storage and not contacts. Fixed now.

I have a rooted Desire S running the VoidU S 1.1a rom (which is great by the way) but I have upgraded to a Sensation and I am giving the Desire S to my dad.
I want to get rid of all of my phone numbers that are in the standard phone app (ie when you press the phone button and the list pops up behind the dialler) but I can't seem to do it.
I started with deleting everything from the contacts app, and then cleared the cache via Application Management, then cleared the cache in CWM, still no luck. Then I did a full wipe and re-installed the rom but the numbers are still there. I have read elsewhere on this forum that you need to have the stock recovery in order to do a full factory reset, is that true?
Any ideas? How risky is it to restore the factory recovery? My dad really does not want to go through all of my phone numbers in order to make a call!!
go to
settings-->application-->manage applications-->all-->contacts storage-->clear data
also remove your gmail account to not re-sync..

I don't believe that its possible to remove your google account as this asks you to perform a full factory re-set.

if he untick contacts sync from google account and clear contacts storage?
Thanks guys, in the end I cleared the data in App Mgmt from every app to do with contacts, people, phone etc and that worked. Clearing just one app wasn't enough, I had to do all of them....
Funny thing though, now I have the numbers that I do want in both the dialler app and the people app, when a new text message comes in from someone that is in the contacts/dialler already, it only shows the number and not the name...hmmm...
I have been having a serious ongoing issue with the Gmail app on my droid charge. Before I begin, know that I have experienced this across 3 roms (humble, gummy, infinity) and with two different droid charge devices. Basically, when I hit the send button on an email, it just grays out and doesn't do anything. This usually happens after 2-3 successful sends. It doesn't freeze or give any errors, the send option just becomes inaccessible. Choosing to send through the menu button option doesn't do anything too. The messages don't even go into the outbox, it just sits there and saves it as a draft after I exit. Please tell me I have just overlooked some obscure setting.
What I have tried to fix it unsuccessfully:
Clearing all data and cache for the gmail app
Uninstalling and reinstalling/updating the app
Removing the screen filter app from my phone (read about some possible interference with this app)
Wiping Cache and Dalvik via CWM
Restarting the phone, and also after each of the methods above
What has worked:
Wiping my phone via CWM or Odin (factory, not just cache and Dalvik) but this only works for the first few emails and goes back to the same issue.
I feel stuck and hate not sending emails. I know I can choose another app but I really just prefer the gmail app (that's not a crime is it?) Anyone else experience this? I have searched several forums and tried solutions listed there but with no luck.
this sounds strange... have you tried to add a different google account to your phone and see if it has the same issue with sending? you could then remove the affected one and re-add.
this is the only way to point the finger at the device... if the alt works then its your gmail profile. if it doesn't then it could be the stock .apk for gmail.
Tried that

I have tried with my personal and work gmail accounts as well as my "former" account and all three experience the same issue. I thought of that as well. I feel like I have tried everything, multiple accounts, different settings, updates, removed other applications and whatever else I could think of. Thanks.
Go to application data in the settings menu, find the gmail app and clear all of the caches you can. Re sync and it might work. I've had this issue and it cleared it up.

Idk if you just ignored his OP or what but he already said he tried this.
Im in the same boat different phone. My gmail app doesnt send for me either on my galaxy s 2 att, or my iconia.
Edit: i just read a post somewhere that said if you have seal with root permissions than somereason it keeps gmail from sending... take away itsnroot privlages and reboot (this fix worked for me, hope it helps)
As far as seal goes i hope tthey fix this issue as i like that app
I had seal and experienced the same problem with gmail. Uninstalled seal and gmail worked again. Never could figure out why it was happening.

Seems to have worked for me too. Can't believe that was the issue. Thanks for everyone's help!
I really hope they fix that. Its okay though, I think seal was slowing my phone down a bit. Everything is much more responsive now.

Hello,
I am using a Samsung Infuse running Gingerbread (2.3.6) and Ethereal's ROM v1.4. I am having a pretty major problem that I cannot seem to fix, so I will go into detail in the hopes that someone will be able to help me.
My phone will go into a complete freeze state if Google attempts to sync my contacts, requiring me to remove the battery for a reboot. I had it turned off for a brief period of time (and auto updates/background app updates are still turned off in the "Accounts and Sync" settings) but it has started to sync after each OS reboot. I can probably use my phone for a few seconds before the sync kicks in and locks my phone.
I believe my contact storage system on my phone is majorly corrupt in the worst kind of way. I come to this conclusion because I am completely unable to create new contacts, even after force closing/stopping all contact running processes. I am pretty stumped as to how/why this happened and what to do to fix it.
Can one of you awesome peeps help me out with this issue? It would be much appreciated.
Go to recovery and wipe cache and dalvic...see if that helps (shouldn't delete any apps or saved data)
If not then wipe everything and re flash your from (will delete all apps and there saved data)
If still doesnt help then go back to stock using heimdal or Odin (will delete all apps and their saves data)

Cache wiping does not work, unfortunately. I tried again as you suggested and it did not work again.
I appreciate your suggestions, but I did know these options. Every problem can be fixed through a reflash, but this is an absolute last resort and I would rather know if there was a solution to the problem itself. It is just one little application causing this mess and I would rather hate to lose all of my data.
Thanks!
Have you tried Settings - Apps - All - Contacts Force stop and then clear data?
That should wipe out any locally stored data and allow for a refresh from any accounts you have (gmail, exchange, etc.)

That did not work either, one of the first things I tried.
I ended up being able to buy myself enough time to sync my calendar, download my contacts to my SIM card, then do a factory reset after backing up my other data. Oh well =\
Hey all..I have a completely stock and fully updated Droid Maxx...today my messaging app started force closing upon every incoming picture mail or if I try to send one.
Anyone else experience this?
The only fix I came up with is using hangouts.
I had this exact same issue.
Fixed it by wiping the app data/cache. Make sure to delete all your SMS threads as well.
I used the stock messaging app, and was able to backup all my texts with an app. Just had to make sure everything was wiped within the app before restoring.

Hmmm...I did try wiping the data/cache but I'm not sure if I deleted the texts first...I'll give it another try..
Actually, I disabled the stock app and switched to Hangouts in the meantime. It's really not that bad, so if I can't fix the stock app I'll be OK. Just hate having an issue with a stock phone....
Deleting all the existing threads was key for me, just wiping the cache didn't fix the issue.
My guess is some MMS got corrupted and the app was no longer able to handle it.
I didn't try changing my primary app since I like stock and the Chrome plugin.
Dialer and Contacts app are loading too slowly, If I receive a call from a number that already exists in my Contact list, It doesn't shows up the name for quiet sometime, after 5 seconds it shows the name, issue started for last 3 days. Tried clearing the Cache of Contacts app, cleared data, cleared unwanted SMSes, all in no use. Please suggest some work around.

It's not solving the issue of battery draining..
It seems like it solves the contacts slowness but the battery draining is huge!

Same issue
Started several days ago.
LG G4 contacts very slow to find a name. When answering a call, only number displayed without a name.
Viewed device CPU per app and the contacts storage app (android.process.acore) consuming ~15% CPU almost all the time.
Have no idea what happened but phone quite useless, as searching for contacts takes very long time.
Anyone has an idea what to do or what happened?
Sad to face problem with the primary usage of a phone - contact and calling

i was also facing same problem after i updated my 36 apps together from play store. My contacts and dialer became too slow and buggy, i was so confused .
After reading your comment i removed contact permission from whatsapp and my problem solved . That means new whatsapp updated on 8Feb2018 version 2.18.46 have some bugs related to contacts sync.
NOPES .... nothings changed even after removing contact permission from Whatsapp, I even uninstalled it yet still the same

Try this: Remove accounts from accounts and sync from settings which you are not using. Mostly you might have lot of google accounts linked to your mobile use your primary account and if there are some accounts which you are not using please remove it or sync limited google apps with those apart from primary account.
