Hey guys,
I have a stock HTC One V (not rooted) and I've been facing a few problems with it.
The contacts keep on crashing. A lot of times I get the message saying "The Contacts Storage app has crashed..." And I've to wait sometimes a few minutes for the contacts to load whenever I open the People app.
Whatsapp keep on crashing. I've noticed that this happens mostly when I open the app and another message comes in at the same time.
A lot of times when I make a call, it takes a around a minute or so, sometimes even more, to place the call. In the mean time, the phone app displays a black screen. Also, when I get the call from a contact whose number is saved, the name doesn't come up and the phone gives me an option to save the number.
I've tried transferring all my Google contacts to local storage, but after a while, the same problems cropped up again.
I do plan to rooting the phone once I get the unlock key repaired (it isn't working very well right now).
Any help on how to deal with the aforementioned problems will be appreciated.

I'll try that.
But are these problems indicative of something else because they crop up soon everytime I reset my phone?
I install only the most needed applications (Power Toggles, File Explorer, Whatsapp) and try not to burden the phone with any crap.
htc sense is the problem... root your phone and install pure android.. like cm10,slim bean, aokp, pa, miui... etc etc etc etc etc etc

That's what I was also guessing. Never liked Sense.
If any one is interested, I solved all the three issues by unchecking every other contact (Phone, Sim, etc.) type except Google from the people app.
Everything works perfectly now and I've never been happier with my phone. :laugh:

I'm getting this really annoying problem for the last few days after a rom update. Whenever I access the Facebook directory in People (online directories tab), a message popup:
The application Facebook for HTC sense (process com.htc.socialnetwork.facebook) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close.
I've tried everything below but nothing works:
1. Remove Facebook account and add it again
2. Clear data and cache of the app
3. Try flashing another ROM
4. Unroot to original ROM
I think the problem is with my Facebook friend list but I can't figure it out. Has anyone experience the same problem as mine? I have around 400 friends in Facebook.
Update1: If I choose "View" in the Menu, the number of Facebook contacts is correct. Some of the facebook contact have been synched with photo, but still I cannot access the Facebook contact list.
No reply. I guess I'm on my own to solve this.
I did a google search and this came up I am having the same problem did you find a solution?
I am in. Just notice this problem too
I found removing the fb for android (?), and doing a full sync and link contacts help.
Really sure for the linking contacts step. Since i notice that fc happens everytime i use it to those with multiple contact (same phone,mail,etc) but not yet linked.
Occassionally, my phone will say something like find multiple contact bla bla bla. I just choose link em all. Now i rarely get fc

My problem is similar... HTC Evo 4G (original EVO), (being an admitted NOOB to the android arena), I rooted my phone... then had to unroot, and return to Sprint after falling out of the car window, and being run over by my back tire, (damned dogs, jumping up, happy to see me!). Sprint's techs said that if I didn't have the triple layer Seidio Extended case on it, it would have crushed the phone completely). As it was, my screen was broken, and I had to have the phone un-rooted to get the service.
Got the phone back ($37 for the repairs, Thanks Sprint!), and re-rooted her, and back in business... everything worked... until I couldn't find the root manager, I had used last time, so started using Root Explorer. I bit more advanced, and less noob friendly, if you ask me... as I was deleting bloatware, I deleted both Facebook AND Facebook for htc sense... I got the sense ver. back, and synce with my contacts by setting up the account again... only thing is, I can't upload pics. I could before, just can't now.
Only thing different I can recall doing this time, over last, was getting rid of Friend stream and a few other things I didn't last time (football, nascar, for example). Admittedly, I deleted things that didn't look like they belonged with any apps I was keeping. So, who out there knows what files may be associated with uploading photos to FB, via htc sense? I have the actual app, as old as it may be... was this one ever updated from 2010? I'm not looking forward to re-flashing the phone, just to restore one issue... but I will if I have to.
Thanks, in advance!
Mac-
You have a HTC EVO 4G. So please ask in the forum for this phone.

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but in the hopes that they are, I'm posting this. For some reason, I'm not getting any notifications for push apps. Specifically for me, its Gmail, Google Voice, and FB Messenger. The apps aren't even syncing. I have to manually go into each app and tell it to sync.
I've had Gmail and GV sync for a little while after a ROM flash, but it never lasts more than a half hour or so.
Any ideas?
Not sure what rom u are using, or if you are using titanium to restore apps... but try settings>apps>gmail (or other apps) and choose to clear data, NOTE: you will have to re-sync accounts by going to settings>accounts and sync and enter ur info. your contacts will disappear for a short time while it re-syncs. its worked for me on previous devices after flashing a new rom, not sure if it will work here....
Check what kind of Internet connection you have: settings>wireless&networks>more>mobile networks>acces point names. The one working is net.
Any luck with this? I'm having the same issue.
I tried moving the gv app to /system/app but it didn't fix it.
Make sure you aren't disabling sync via the power widget.. it sounds obvious but it happened to someone

Similar problem here as well. Google Talk only seems to give me a notification when I turn the screen on. Just got my gnex last week and running stock jb now (only rooted).
Hi, I bought One X approximately a month back, the phone is awesome. But the issue that suddenly started to occur was yesterday when I tried to open up one of my messages, but the screen wont open, instead when I try to open up any specific conversation tab, it keeps on loading and won't show any messages at all from that person. Also after it showed this problem, I am unable to read new texts and even delete any of my texts (it sort of hangs) whereas the other phone features work clearly.
Did a factory reset, restored the backup but still no change. Kindly help me as to what should I do.
THanks!!
I ended up rooting into a custom rom hehe.
Are you rooted?

Ironically it's restoring the backup that is probably why the problem is back. Because you restored the problem too!
Open up the Messaging in 'Manage Applications' and clear cache and data. You'll loose all of your received SMS messages but at least you'll be able to use Messaging again.
If it persists ring your provider and get them to send through your SMS message center settings again.

Try to use go sms or other 3rd party messaging app... I think you've reach the maximum capacity of stock messaging...
My One V is rooted but running the standard firmware. Problem is the default HTC text / SMS app. It often refuses to fully open (stays half open on white screen) or takes a minute or two to fully open. In addition "unread sms" notifications are not correctly update (I open a message but it still stays 'unread').
I have deleted all but a hundred or so messages in case there were too many.
I have removed all non-stock launchers and the like.
Situation improves after a reboot but only for one or two uses then the SMS app is back to misbehaving.
Phone is fully up to date apart from last minor (22mb) OTA update - that will not install for some reason.
Any suggestions anyone? I can live with everything else on the phone but this fault is really annoying.
Thanks in advance...
I suggest you back up everything and do a factory reset that should help

Thanks for the suggestion. I want to avoid that hassle if I can.
I am trying now the "Chomp SMS" app instead of the normal one. No lag or hangs so far
Some say it's that one the best: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.gosms&feature=search_result&hl=en
Thanks, I might try it if the Chomp one does not work out. I tried the Go Launcher and some other of their apps before but was not too impressed. Not too fast, left many folders on the phone when un-installed etc.
So far the Chomp SMS app works fast and is easy to customize. It does show ads however unless I pay.
Is anyone else's contacts app excruciatingly slow? I find that I will touch the icon, then wait almost 5 seconds before thinking that I must've not hit it the first time so I hit it again, only to find that I'm now accidentally calling the last contact I viewed. This has happened since I got my XL in December, on both stock and Pure Nexus while I was using that, and now again while on stock 7.1.2.
Mine is buttery smooth and quick even when I clear it out of recent apps. Stock 7.1.2 no root not unlocked.

Occasionally mine seems smooth, but more often it will sit for between 3 and t seconds before it will open. It's extremely frustrating.
I am having the same issue in accessing my Google calendar. I've tried clearing data & clearing cache then rebooting the phone
(Something you should try Neilrl79) but my problem never goes away. it might clear up the slow issue for like 5 minutes but the problem comes back again! Very frustrating!!
I've since downloaded another calendar and the issue goes away (while i use the different calendar)

yyyeeeessssss... me too! I was going to say similiar problem with google calendar for me.
Maybe we should start a Google Calendar thread?
I've tried uninstalling and i even wiped my phone ( As well as clearing the cache & data). All no good because the problem always comes back!
Contacts and Google Calendar are lightning fast here. Maybe it has to do with the amount of contacts or events you have? Around 110 contacts here, most with pictures synced from Facebook or Google Photos.
Setup is in my signature.
@murphdsurf I've tried the same things.. I do not understand at all.
Right now I'm going through my calendar and deleting old stuff to see if that helps?
Same here
I have the same issue - very slow contacts. Slow to load, slow to search and also very slow to save a new contact. I hit save on a contact and it takes 5-10 seconds to register the tap and save the contact. I do have ~1600 contacts but have always had loads and my previous Android phones worked fine so I can't imagine that a Pixel XL shouldn't be able to cope!
