Hello, anyone else having the same problem as me and please help offer solutions.
My Contacts APPs keep FC most of the time when a call comes in. When this happens, usually I will not see the caller ID (only the number is displayed, not the names in my contact list). Sometimes the phone just hang and reboot and I believe the Contact is messing up the phone. Call logs will not show until the Contact apps run again after a few mins.
I saw post somewhere that this happens when contact list gets big and I follow the instruction to completely clear my contacts and restore them. But this does not help.
Phone is not having problem when I was in GB rom (2.3.5 and 2.3.6) and problem exist after upgrade to ICS. I tried 2 different ICS rom from different region (4.0.3), the same happens. Recently upgraded to 4.04. Problem remains.
I even downgrade back to GB. Clear cache, factory reset. Restore to ICS 4.0.4. I use Titanium to restore all apps and phone data. Problems still there.
I reflash the above again, this time only restore the apps and not phone data. This doesn't help.
Am at a lost what to do now? Everything runs fine except the Contact.
Download an alternative app for contacts
There are plenty of apps on google play

This is more of a workaround than a fix...
I've had this issue with contacts and then usually dialler gets problems. How are you adding your contacts, from a Google account? If so, try clearing the data and cache on both the contacts app and contacts storage app, then re sync your contacts, let me know if it helps.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I've tried your suggestions before but problem still exist. I'm using Samsung contact to do a backup/restore. I've tried before GO's contact and Superbackup. None solve the problem.
Currently, I just tried this method below to disable the Sync contact settings. Let's see if this will work.

There might be some permission error. If you are rooted then try extracting the contacts.apk, contacts.odex files from Stock ROM package and push it into system app folder. it might help. for a safer side you can also copy Phone.apk files along.

I just flashed CM6 for the first time on my new HTC Hero, and the messaging app is completely broken. I tried backing up all my texts, then clearing the data (Settings -> Applications -> All -> Messaging -> Clear data), but that not only didn't help, I also was't able to restore any of my texts from backup.
Every time I start the messaging app, I get the error:
Sorry!
The application Messaging (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Interestingly, if I use a voice command to send a text, it actually gets delivered. But I don't get any responses, and even if I did, I probably wouldn't be able to read them.
What can I do to fix it?
Thanks!

Have you tried doing a wipe of data, cache and dalvik cache and flashing cm6 again?

You probably won't be able to restore your texts from another rom into cm. I would wipe data/cache, and this time don't restore the texts.

thanks
Thank you, I've wiped and re-flashed. I'm out of the country right now, so I can't verify that the messaging app is actually working, but at least it doesn't crash when I open it.

Yup, works
Yes, it works great now. I even managed to backup all my texts and restore them with the SMS Backup+ app. I tried the "Backup to Gmail" app, which also backs up call logs, but it has no restore functionality, regrettably.

Good sirs,
Recently, like since last week, I cannot see any of my installed apps in the Android Market, under "My apps". Consequently i also cannot see any updates to those apps.
The ONLY thing, I see there are the apps I have purchased, and any apps I newly install...
I have a captivate running cognition 2.1.6.
anyone else having this issue?
HELP!!!
Have you tried clearing the data?
Menu button->Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Third Party Tab then scroll down and choose Market then click Clear Data.
Try the above first, if that doesnt work, go to the market and download Eris Market Fix. This app worked for me on my captivate before.
im running 2.1. dont see a third party tab.
but i did clear the cache. did not help.
then tried uninstalling the updates to market. it said uninstall failed.
Now my market is completley gone!!
I'd suggest three other things then...
First would be to restore from a backup... you did backup your apps when you flashed right?
Second would be to use or get SGS Tools and try the Market Fix option there. Find it here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936727
Third would be to search vending.apk That's the market apk, then download it and sideload it.

I reinstalled a whole new ROM...
BTW, I heard that using the new market web interface will break the market on devices with custom ROMs. is this true??!
I haven't heard of anything lime that. When I was on 2.1, I had a blackmarket app that allowed.me to upgrade my market interface. I have never had a problem with not being able to see free appear tho. I suggest backing up anything you have that's important and after attempting any fixes that others will and have spelled out, try a ODIN3 restore. I don't have any links but it will fully restore your phone to stock. Some of your data should still be there but it will do a full wipe and restore. Other than that, don't listen to me. I only have 3 posts.......

I had the same issue before and i just did those steps and it resolve it!
yea on the new ROM clearing the cache works! thanks.
I just got the the phone for my mom and within seconds had root. Installed titianium backup and started to remove Bell/Moto bloat and in that process I deleted google com file in stead of the gmail app. Now the phone still works and I restored to factory which resolved some fc issues but the "text messaging" app still fc's I also removed the "messaging" app which I think is causing the fc for the text messaging app but when I try to restore it from titanium it gets stuck at restoring and never actually restores.
I'm thinking of just reflashing the firmware again and start over do to my stupidity but never owned moto devices so please guide tell me where I can get the stock bell firmware and how to flash it.
Also will I loose root?

I'd just reflash another ROM and be done with it. Not sure why you're manually removing apps, most roms are de-bloated.
edit: you're on XT860??
Yes xt860

plus i like stock she does not need much more then that i just need a link to stock update and the program used to update it.
A while back after a rom or two always using Titanium backup a number of contacts disappeared. I had flashed a few rom and all contacts always saved the titanium. Then after another flash many were missing and would not or could not restore. Even downloading contact apps that revealed missing contacts did not show all I uses to have. I believe this was when I went from Fasty to either rc2.1 ics, cm7, or another gb rom. Any ideas?

I've found its more reliable to use google contacts and just sync after a flash. As for recovering the ones lost, probably no hope unless you made a Nandroid of the last ROM you remember having all of them.

I just go into contacts and click menu and restore/backup then I click backup to storage, then when I want them back I click restore from storage and its finds the file for you

That is another way to back up contacts. However, if that backup were not performed before flashing a wipe ROM, it goes back to not being able to recover lost contacts.
(true life story)
I once had flash party with other junkies like me. Suddenly, people got missing!!!
But, luckily, nobody noticed it and the party went on!
I made a backup with all my settings, messages and contacts.
Then I made factory reset and flashed a clean rom using Update Service.
When I restored my data everything except contacts is back... when I click on contacts they are there but they disappear instantly ! only remains about 15 contacts or something and the rest are gone
I made the same procedure several times and the same happens
In your contacts go to settings and filter.
You can ensure you are note excluding a certain group of contracts that way

Is there a way to extract contacts from the dbk file ?
