I've tried looking everywhere, but I can't find a solution, so I'm hoping someone sees this and can help.
I've recently become addicted to flashing roms, and have been trying out many of the amazing roms hosted here, including Touched by a SGSIII and Wicked Sensations. I fell in love with Wicked Sensations almost as soon as I flashed it, except for one problem.
Sometimes right away, sometimes after a reboot, and sometimes several hours later, my messaging app disappears, and I can no longer send or receive SMS.
There was also an occasional issue with it saying that "process.android.acore has stopped", but that problem seems to have stopped as well. This problem persisted on both Dazed's Sensations and Scarmon's Touched. I don't have the same issue with AOKP, or even the CM9A5 I flashed today, nor even on mijjah's Slim-n-Trim rom.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how do I fix it?
I usually flash with EL29 directboot kernel, if that affects anything.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Have you tried installing any of the really nice third party SMS apps like handscent or gosms?

I did. Those wouldn't work either. I'm pretty sure it was something in my backed up data, because I did a full reflash and only restored the apps, and everything is working fine, now.
Fortunately, I didn't seem to have lost a whole lot in not restoring that backup.

It sounds like you were restoring system apps specific to other roms. I suggest doing a full wipe, and ONLY restoring the apps that can be downloaded from the market.

Before I get n00b bashed, I did "Search this thread" for the answer... (and other forums) Maybe I am just too n00b? Anyway, here goes.
Given kudos on this ROM already (Syndicate Rom: Frozen...anything is better than stock Froyo, but this is just AMAZING). But I was having some troubles with receiving incoming calls. Caller always got "All circuits busy" Or "cannot complete call as dialed".
Soooo, I wiped and reflashed. Tried to make a call (before restoring titanium backups) it worked, but my girl was still having troubles calling me...
So I restored most of my titanium backup (stuff that mattered?) and when trying to call out, I get "com.android.phone stopped working" and had to forcibly close it. So, I specifically restored phone 1.0 and contacts and all that from my titanium Backup, and still got the same issue. I am currently backing up stuff to my computer off the phone, going to format the card and do a fresh flash and see if that helps.
Thing to note, my account IS linked with Google Voice. Could that be an issue? And if not, is anyone else having this issue? Seriously the ONLY problem I am having with this rom. Thanks, guys!
Edit. Wipe and reflash did not help, however the phone is running MUCH better! Still not getting phone calls, though. Data works, MMS, etc, spotty 3G acceptance, though. Starting to get a bit aggravating. ANY help would be GRAND.
*sigh* think I got it. Flashed a different modem (EC03?) and it did not work, then flashed BACK to EC05 (AFTER the fresh flash) and it seems to have rectified the issue. HUGE thanks to QBKING77 (if that is his name on here) for the AWESOME video tuts and great linking to the site. I will update if call status changes. But I would still be interested in knowing if anyone else was having the same issues?
Sorry no one ever got to you for help. The Q&A section doesn't exactly have dedicatedhelpers. =/
I'll be trying to help this section more. So please do update if it comes again.

No worries. My girl and I gave it another go this morning, and all went well. Also received all my calld last night with no issue. Definitely made my girl a happy camper. Lol. Now I just have to calibrate my battery when I get to work, and all will be golden!

the only thing I could think of is did you "freeze" any apps in titanium LOL yes I froze the wrong thing once and got the same error's I think it was the voice mail stuff seeing i went to gvoice didn't think I needed it but I did.
Nope. All apps were left unfrozen, just because I am too n00b for that chit, lol.
However, I flashed the EC05, and all incoming calls (90%) seem to be coming to me. Odd part is, it SHOULD be going to my voicemail if it cannot be dialed. I am thinkin Sprint is to blame, and I need to have it out with them.
*sigh*
Oh well, everything else is tits... Just waiting EAGERLY for 1.2... Chompin at the bit and all that!
Might get bored tonight and flash back to stock... see if I have the same problem.
Question. Let's say I want to "image" my phone the way it is right now (kinda like Norton Ghost used to do?) Flash back to stock, yadda yadda... Is there a way to RESTORE my phone as is (every byte) back with clockwork? Or is that what Nandroid does? Because if I flash back to Stock, play for a bit (see if it is sprint's fault) and want to flash back, I will have to reconvert back to EXT4... using clockwork 3.0, should I just use the .zip (.img?) that nandroid creates instead of the base ROM?
If any of that makes sense, kudos will be given for a clear answer, lol
just loaded Emerald Envy 2.0....
Absolutely love the ROM, but I can no longer receive calls. I've tried the wipe (x3), re-downloaded the ROM, no joy. no combination that I can think of. Have tried all the latest modems (EC05/EF02), no joy.
I did notice that the phone log does log that a call was received, but it never rings or brings up the phone application.
I also tried flashing the Genocide 1.1 kernal. no joy.
I'm about to go back to my Midnight ROM that I Nandroid'd earlier today before I started down this road. Really hope I don't have to, i'm hooked on this ROM!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My errors seem to be different than yours. Mine would not show up in my call log at all, nor would the calls go to voicemail. Are your callers able to leave messages?
Mine turned out to be a sprint/phone issue. Their networks have been all kinds of crappy in my area since january. Sucks, but all I could do was call, complain, and get credits.
My new epic seems to be working fine, and sprint seems to have fixed their issues in my area. I was running 1.2 up until last night with no issues callin/receiving. I only updated to the latest GB leak because it is hella stable and netflix works. Just seems to have some 3d issues. But I do not game much on here.
Keep troubleshooting, and give 1.2 a whirl. While your problem is not ROM related, I am very confident your experience (and battery) will be much better.
Oh. And call Sprint. Complain and whine. You will get credit on your bill. Lol.

Hey guys,
I've clicked around a bit but can't seem to find anyone with the same issue, and I went through about 40 pages on Calkulin's ROM but I really don't want to go through all 200 and some if somebody here can provide a solution.
I've used his ROMs for the past year, really fantastic, no complaints at all. I flashed his beta ICS build a few months ago and it worked well with the exception that it would randomly reboot for no apparent reason. I could be in the middle of a text message or it could be sitting on my desk and all of a sudden, reboot. I went back to his old ROM and decided to put off ICS for a few months to work out the bugs. Today I put his newest ICS ROM up and once again, random reboots. It doesn't seem that others are having the same problem so I'm not sure what to make of it. And for the sake of putting it out there, it's always a clean install - Format All, flash modem and ROM.
Anybody have any ideas? Suggestions? Any help is seriously appreciated.
Thanks guys.
Ive heard of someone else having this issue before have you tried a fresh install with a new download of EL29 or EL26? When i have had issuez in the past that could be the culprit try a new download also you could try one of the new kernals posted that may help as well.

Are you using 4g?? This is a known issue with leaving 4g enabled.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
It is a known issue that if the hacked Hotspot is installed and you are running on 4G that you will experience random reboots. Mijjah74 has implemented a fix for it in his ROMs and it is beginning to go out among the other developers as well.
Until your developer implements the fix the cure is to not use 4G.
Awesome, thanks a ton. What a goofy bug. Yes I frequently use 4g, hourly even, and although I rarely use the hot spot, it is installed. I wonder if un installing it would fix the issue.
Thanks again.
Any idea if using am older modem would fix it?

No, reinstalling won't help. I was testing 4g for this and (for me at least) it would reboot at about exactly the 1 hr mark if 4g is running constantly. Pretty strange but it did it several times in a row that way. I think someone said that they have the timing down pretty well and I can't recall exactly what the recommendation was, turn 4g off and back on right before it's going to reboot (you should time yours to see when it does it). Something like that.
Addendum: FYI, I'm running stock EL29 modem. A different modem won't change the 4g reboot issue either, sorry.
I had random reboots on every ROM. I went all the way back to stock unrooted, and started back over. Haven't has any issues since.

It happens to me sometimes, and I just reboot. Although you could just wipe cache or data of the messaging app, reboot, and then try.
Anyone got some work arounds for this??

My s3 is rooted, and I'm currently running the people's Rom. Since I loaded the this particular Rom, I haven't been able to get telnav to work. I tried clearing data, deleting and reinstalling from Sprint zone, I even read somewhere that getting rid of Google voice might solve the problem, so l did that and still no joy. It starts up and then the screen goes black and white down, no fc notice. Anybody have a fix for this? It worked fine on jelly bomb Rom and freegs3. I'm beginning to think it's something with the Rom.

Long time fan; first time post.
I was hoping this posting had provided a solution, but the 'Contacts Fix' did not help with my apparent issue:
(Synergy ROM) Phone app now not working?
I'm lovin' the Synergy ROM, however every time I start up the phone, I always get the 'com.android.phone has stopped' error.
Please, would anyone like to take a look at the Logcats provided?
Attached in the zip file are two logcats. One records my attempt to make a phone call; the other I hope reflects what's happening when the phone is starting up: AttemptedPhoneCall.txt & StartingUpPhone.txt
Sure, I could go back to my High On Android ROM (Have to give a nod to its author, Max of GalaxyS3root.com), but it was Max that raved about Synergy in the first place, and it has grown on me.
Despite the fact I can't send or receive any calls. I can text and surf, but it's not a phone anymore.
I never received that error on Synergy, but I have seen it on other ROMs. Have you tried a full wipe and reflash? In my experience, flashing Synergy worked best when I flashed it from another TW based ROM.
You could try a different kernel such as ktoonsez kernel. I had a lot of issues with the standard ziggy kernel when I used synergy

Thanks, altrikdout21.
Yes, I intend to. I was just curious if there were some developers out there that like to look at logcats for kicks.
Didn't think of that.

Problems with the ziggy, uh?
Ok, I'll try another and let you know.
Thanks, Domoo.
Got it working...almost sort ya.
Restored my last ROM, HighOnAndroid. I did do the reflash of Synergy with a stock kernel, but there was no improvement, and so I restored my previous ROM. I can now start up the phone without the 'com.android.phone has stopped' error. However, there's a problem. I still can't make a phone call! Yikes! Now how can that be??? I did a ROM restore. Shouldn't the phone app be back as it was? It appears all the other apps are working. I can text, surf, etc. What's happening here?
I start up the phone app, select a contact, press the phone icon on the contact's screen, it comes up like it's going to initiate a call but then I see the 'end call' just as fast and the phone app then retreats back to the previous screen listing the contact I had selected to call.
As an aside, is there a place to drop off you logcats on this forum? Being an old VB programmer (what's that you ask?!), I'm curious to see what these new fangled 'android programmers' can do. However, now I'm ever more anxious to find out what's wrong with the phone app since I've restored my ROM only to find the one lone thing I do use regularly (it's a phone for pete sake!) is still not working.
