[Q] Samsung Contacts App Not Working - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello,
On Saturday I flashed Clean ROM ACE 5.0 onto mine and my wife's Samsung Galaxy Note 2's.
The one problem we're both having is that the contacts app stops working. (It worked fine for the first day for me and my wife's was good until today)
No amount of wiping and re-flashing is working.
Going to settings->application->all-> and then clearing the data in contacts and contacts storage doesn't work.
Even on a completely fresh flash of the rom, without installing any other apps or setting up our google accounts, we'll still get the message "unfortunately, contacts has stopped".
I've tried installing new samsung contacts apps into the system/app folder with rw-r--r-- to no avail.
I've even changed custom recoveries...
Strangely enough, 3rd party contact apps work, but I'd like to just keep the 'stock' samsung one if I could.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Changing recoveries WAS not needed too get a APP to work for you!!!
You ever think that it might be a bad download you had since you flashed the same room on both phones! And got the same results from both!
Anyway you can also access your contacts from the phone APP! Just in case you didn't know.. What I have set up on my Pie app to access the dialer/contacts... pic here:

I would start over fresh, since you tried flashing other Samsung contact apk. And everything else you were doing trying to get it to work! Might have corrupted your system..

I know, it was a last resort. Just thought I'd follow the dev's instructions to the letter, since stranger things have happened.

Yes, opening up the dialer/phone app and tapping the contacts tab get the same result "unfortunately, contacts has stopped working".
Even, starting a text message and trying to choose a contact doesn't work.

Play store installed apps error after data wipe

So I recently did a data wipe in order to upgrade to aokp b29. Before the whole process, my market worked fine, but now my installed apps are not appearing nor can I see that other tab (all apps? Or something... History?) because it gives an error as shown in the attached screenshot. My Installed tab just shows the apps I manually installed after restoring everything with titanium backup. I have about 310 apps on my phone and only the last 4 I installed yesterday show up. I have a suspicion that it was titanium backup that caused my play store account to bug out because I remember the market was fine after I booted up b29 for the first time but haven't used titanium backup yet, then after restoring all my apps + data, my play store became messed up. I tried using the market link doctor function on titanium backup to redo all the attached links to the market but that didn't help. Also tried clearing market data and cache, and restoring phone but obviously that didn't work either. Any suggestions? I was hoping that waiting for it to be fixed on its own would work but it's been like this for 4 days now, I would like to avoid another data wipe if it can be helped :x thanks.

I had a similar problem, you should wipe your device and start fresh. Don't restore any system data or apps.

Can I backup my user apps + data before wiping?

By all means yes back them up but the only thing I'd recommend restoring is your SMS, music or pictures. Stuff that's not going to be potentially corrupt is safe. A good idea us to use a tool kit like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310 and use the option to BOOT not flash cwm recovery and create a nandroid backup so if you aren't happy with the results at least you can return to your current state. A fresh install is best IMO just to make sure you don't install things which are broken

wtf ... i formatted data, cache, dalvik cache, flashed aokp b29 and gapps.. and bam.. the problem is still here.. exactly as it was before .. this is frustrating :/ .......
anyone know what on earth the problem could be ??? btw all my purchased apps are shown as never have been bought either, and when i try to rebuy something, i get an error with transaction email from Google.... the only way to install paid apps on my phone now is through the browser which still works fine ..but ..still... wth :/
There are TONS of people having this and similar problems - a quick search of the forums and the net in general will bear this out.
You can do whatever you like if it makes you feel good, but Google's going to have to fix this one themselves.
....................yea i know their store crashed but that was a week ago and they said its been fixed ...................
can anyone actually help plz, condescending remarks aside

did you dirty flash an update ? are you sure your internet is working properly ? does the browser work with the net ?
best solution is a clean flash if all fails

It may be related to your APN setting. Try to erase your proxy address in your APN and then save your setting.

I updated to the 28 March version. After that everything stopped. I flashed 25th March version also but in vain
My internet is working. The 'Email' app is working and I can also login to gmail with that!
Did you wipe your phone before flash the rom?
I did a full factory reset, cache and dalvik also. Nothing

Google Wallet still not working?

Hey guys, i've had problems with Google Wallet on my Note II.
I still get the error message "Not supported - Unfortunately, Google Wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network".
It worked while I was rooted on Cyanogen. But I unrooted my phone, back on stock, update to date firmware, and its not working.
I've gone on wallet.google.com, and removed my phone from the account, and tried to restart the app on my phone, but I still get the error screen.
I've tried everything to get it working.
Only way I know of is with the xposed.
On stock we dont have the secure element enabled.

I've read reviews on the Play Store too how it works on sprint
Official support been out since May and I've been using it no problem since before that after the MC2 update.

If all else fails, call Google Wallet support. If you forget to unlink Google Wallet from your old ROM and then tried to link it with your new stock ROM, you will have issues. However, the support team will be able to reset everything to allow you to use it again.
Google wallet works for me

Just throwing in my 2 cents,
I am able to use it. Now I am on stock rooted, but it works perfectly fine for me. I can even update from play too. I don't know why yours would not be working for ya.
I've unlinked my GW manually on the website. I'm assuming the problem is I'm still on MA7, and I can't update to MC2... It constantly fails... I tried downloading the update, and doing it manually in stock recovery..... Would I be able to get another phone from sprint?

Of course you can. If your unrooted phone can't take an update its covered under warranty. Plus with ma7 the only to use wallet is to root. So your better off updating to mc2.

I got the same message today but I know exactly why I did. Something changed or modified your google play services app. I am running ZoneROM - 09.17.14 - D85110M - DeODEX with G3 Tweakbox (the latest that was pushed out today) and decided to try one of the themes that the developer warned us may or may not work lol. Needless to say after a reset I got that message. After I uninstalled the theme and set is ALL back to stock and gave it another reset the message came back.
The only fix (that worked for me) was to dirty flash the rom and wipe dalvik cache and chache afterwards. Hope this helps!:good:

Yeah all this started after I installed the latest g3 tweaksbox and messed with the themes. I restored to a nandroid backup but the issue continues. Wtf this is crazy
This doesn't make any sense. I flash back to a much earlier backup and the popups come right back once i try to update apps in the Play Store
I am getting them to. Didn't switch anything up that I can think of..
I started getting this message when i switched to the google keyboard. Switched back to lg keyboard and it went away.
Ok is definitely the Google play services update is to blame. I did a factory reset. Everything was fine until I updated the Google play services plug in again. Instantly the popups returned
I had these issues until I disabled "Disable Location Consent" in xposed. It does not play nice with the new play services yet.

I'm stock room and was getting that at every reboot. I was using Google keyboard. I deleted it and viola problem gone. Some people report SwiftKey doing that as well.
What is everyone version of Play services? I think I have updated to the incorrect version.
