I just booted to clockwork mod. Did a wipe of cache and wipe of data/reset. That fixed for me. You will lose all your apps and data. I recommend after fixing, doing a backup with clockwork and doing another backup before you try any tricky hacks or installs.
Good luck
Its related to contacts. disable sync contacts from your account. Clear data from Contacts, Contacts Storage, and Contacts Sync Adapter. Do that in the Manage Applications/All screen

There is a more complicated solution that requires root explorer. Let me know if jlytle1234's solution doesn't do the trick and I will dig it up.
I had a contact entry with a blank name which could not be resolved on sync. Deleated that contact and fc stopped.

[Q] Play Store, Gmail and Browser crash

My problem started when I decided to test out the "backup" and "restore" feature Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit with my unrooted phone (will be rooted soon). It did back up and restore everything I wanted more or less but now it seems that whenever I launch Play Store, sync my Gmail account or even downloading/saving a simple picture to sd card on a browser, that app crashes with the "Unfortunantely <app> has stopped" with "report" and "ok" as the buttons.
I tried clearing cache, clearing data and force closing the app and rerunning it but it will eventually crash again. One thing to note however, is that Play Store only crashes if there there is an app download in progress, which incidentetly does not start, Gmail crashes when it tries syncing and the browser (Chrome included) crashes whenever downloading a file.
I also noticed that when I select "report" when the app crashes and look at the system data that will be included, they all appear to be quite simlar, which means the problems might be related
So how do I fix this problem?
*UPDATE*
I finally fixed the problem by force stopping and clear data/cache for any apps that had to do with downloading, Play Store, media storage, Google services or Gmail, followed by a quick restart. I probably overdid it but anyways, it worked for me and I hope that if anyone has a similar problem, here is the solution

[solved] com.android.phone has stopped and also contacts and messaging

[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!
Same problem on my Redmi 1S

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

GMail Keeps Force Closing

So yesterday my phone automatically rebooted for some reason and now GMail app keeps force closing. Every time I click on the app, it says, "Unfortunately, GMail has stopped."
I've un-installed the app, rebooted, and re-installed from market. Yet, still same message. I've done a factory wipe and installed a different rom, yet still same force close. I can check my gmail from browser but the app keeps force closing.
I can't figure out how to get this fixed. So, any advice or suggestions?

I have the same problem on HTC One X running Viper rom. It started yesterday and I've restored rom from backup, deleted all account data, deleted and reinstalled gmail and the latest play services apk, I've tried allsorts but still no joy. I got gmail to work briefly earlier after reinstalling everything, it synced all my mails and worked perfectly, then as soon as I closed it and went back to it it crashed again. I've read that it's a problem on googles side, so now I'm just waiting and hoping it'll start working again at some point over the weekend...

I NEED HELP! ZTE obsidian: Multiple apps force closing

Hello, I have a rooted Metro PCS ZTE obsidian z820 and running Android 5.1 , with stock ROM and I really don't know much but I have been starting to learn.
Anyways I've had to restore a backup from recovery at least 4 times already because one day my phone died and I left it off and let it charge but when I powered it back on I got the message 'unfortunately the process com. google.android.gapps' has stopped' repeatedly making it impossible to do anything. once I restored my backup I searched everywhere , started looking at Logs from alogcat(which im also a beginner at), and cant seem to find any thing actuallly related to MY problem. I need to fix that problem from happening before it happens.
sadly when l made my backup my phone was already acting up and FORCE CLOSING MULTIPLE APPS. i.e when try to open a text message (through the notification or the app itself) with the stock messaging app it will force close. I've been unable to reply or read more then the preview of the messages so I tried to just compose a new message to respond but as soon as I click send it force closes, and the message still gets sent.
The play store also started force closing when I would click 'see more' on any apps description.
Gmail & Inbox by Gmail also force close when trying to read a message . These aren't the only apps that have started messing up. I very desperatly need help I CANNOT afford another new phone. I don't know if it's because I rooted in phone or what? but how do I know?
UPDATE!!: I accidently opened Google maps and I started seeing 'unfortunately the process com.google.android.gapps has stopped ' repeatedly again. I restored my back up again and almost every one of my apps force close upon opening now or it seems like once inside an app I try to read anything like 'see more' or description of open emails or messages it force closes?
Firefox, Apptoid app-store, orbot, Esfile-Explorer pro, lucky patcher, catlog, are im pretty sure the only mostly working apps.
