[Q] "Unfortunately, Dialer has stopped." - Moto X Q&A

This issue has been bugging me for quite some time now. I can't access the dialer at all. Clicking phone numbers through a text or a website results in the same message popping up and then closing. The 'Dialer' app will appear for a split second followed by the error. The only way I have been able to make calls is to save the number and calling them through 'Contacts' or the call button from Hangouts.
What is also weird is that from the lock screen I can access 'Emergency call' with no issues. Never had this issue prior to updating to 4.4 (Also, the caller ID feature isn't enabled or there for some reason..). Stock with unlocked bootloader, no root. Switching back to Dalvik from ART didn't resolve it either. However, I had the same issue with my GNex but I had that phone rooted with CM 10.2 Nightlies so I assumed the issue was with the roms.
Anyone have a fix for this issue (other than installing a 3rd party dialer app)?

Do you have Youmail installed by chance? Or any app that syncs to the dialer for contact info?

Huh. As a matter of fact, I do. I was thinking that YouMail may have been causing some issues but I was unable to troubleshoot it so that I could get the dialer to work again. Suggestions?? Thanks for your help so far :good:

Yeah I had the same problem. I ended up uninstalling youmail and I got in touch with them on their getsatisfaction.com forum. They pushed out an update, uninstalling and reinstalling with the new update fixed the problem for me.

[Q] Messages Glitch

I have recently flashed DDJG4 and its by far the smoothest eclair for me but I have noticed that some of my contacts have a bug in messaging. Only their number shows up opposed to their name. This is annoying as I dont know who the message is from unless i open the contact details.
Contact details is fine, no problem. Just the messaging app.
Anyone else notice this? any fix ideas?
thanks
don't have enough messages from different people to confirm (only 4 so far). however, on a related note, do you see a long delay between unlocking the screen using the puzzle piece and the corresponding message opening in the messaging app?
Not checked. I use pattern lock. Ill have a go and see.

Sorry to say, but its just you.
I have over 41 conversations and all the names display correctly.
I noticed lagging on the lock screen to messaging in ddjf3
In ddjg4 there is no more lag anywhere.
I put the ext2 1gb lagfix just for the heck of it and the phone is now faster than me.
Reflash and see whats wrong.
Use the Backup apps from ritesh sahu.
I use them to backup my data before flashing.
I have the same problem too when I imported/restored about 150 old messages. Did you manage somehow to get rid of the problem? On my phone it's only some contacts where only the number is shown and not connected to a contact. This problem started for me when changing to the jm firmware line. For the jf and jg firmwares this problem does not appear.
Strangely, handcent sms has no problem with the sms/contacts. Therefore, this has to be a bug in the samsung sms application, not in our data.

[Q] Problems with voicemail on Cyanogenmod

Voicemail problem is fixed, so please if you could, just skip to where it says "EDIT"
Ok so whenever I get a voicemail, it appears in the notifications bar, but when I click it, it dials the number to get voicemail service and then tells me my inbox is empty. This entire system is pretty damn stupid. Wouldn't it be easier, the way you'd normally do it on the phone, you just go to the voicemail app, and then proceed to listen to whatever voicemail you want to listen to? And for the past like 2 weeks, I've only had the same amount of voicemails (9) and it keeps bringing up the damn notification every few minutes. Can't change the settings on it to make it stop, and at the same time, I can't listen to the fcking messages it's telling me that I have received. Please can someone help me?
EDIT: I should also add that all day today, ADW Luncher and something called "ascore" keep force closing. Pretty annoying and I really can't do anyhting at all because when one isn't force closing, the other is. Wtf. And I've tried rebooting 3 times.
You can get the original Sprint Visual Voicemail app from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774172
Although I don't know why even when it dials your voicemail inbox, you don't hear your voicemails... that's very odd.
Also, if ADW Launcher is giving you problems you could try LauncherPro instead, which is quite similar and perfectly stable in my experience.

Well thank you for the voicemail link, but I can't try that out until I fix the ADW Launcher problem. And when I said I can't do anything, I meant I literally cant do anything. Like, my screen is practically frozen. I was going to try downloading a new home launcher, but I can't do anyyythingg. Ahhh this is so frustrating..
I am having issues with voicemail too in cm6. Sprint app didn't work for me. Adw may be fixed by dalvik wipe and apk uid mismatch fix in recovery always fixed my fc issues.

Will I have to re-install all my apps again?
You will not have to reinstall with just a dalvik wipe. The 9016 message I found out is a provisioning error on sprints end. I had to call in to get it corrected.

You all are talking about different things here!
Sprint uses a SMS voicemail system. The stock HTC rom would receive the SMS message in the background and filter it from the messaging apps, download the voicemail message into visual voicemail and then notify you when the voicemail was in your inbox.
If you change to ANY asop ROM (not just CM6) your phone will not filter the SMS from Sprint which comes from number 9016. If you have installed Sprint VVM the best way to deal with this is to use Handecent and blacklist 9016 then you won't be bothered by it.
If you are not receiving your voicemail you are not properly provisioned and all you need to do is dial *38.
The worst problem is if you are cursed with the voicemail notification "New Voicemail Message Dial..." There is no fix for this. Sense based ROMs filter this, asop ROMS don't and there is no clear way to get rid of it.
Ok well I tried the dalvik wipe...4 times...none of them worked, at all. And I figured out that even other home launchers are force closing on my phone. I tried to use BetterHome and it started force closing repeatedly too. Please, someone has to know what to do, I'm really f*cking sick of not being able to use my phone. Nothing but problems with this PoS phone, ever since I got it...
Edit: Well, I decided to just wipe my phone and install CM6 AGAIN....hopefully it doesn't act up this time. I don't even know why it happened, I've had it for like a month now and it was working perfectly..

[Q] unable to send or receive texts

If anyone wants a Google music beta invite, i have a few and would happily give you one if you could help me solve this problem!
After having problems with my touch screen i took the phone into sprint and they replaced the touch screen and key panel, however now, I am unable to send or receive text messages. I do not receive any errors upon sending and i have tried updating PRL, Profile, done a hard reset, flashed different roms, etc. I have a feeling it has something to do with Google voice interfering with the messaging apps. I have uninstalled Google voice but to no avail.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
BTW I am running Cyanogen mod 7 R.C.1
Update:
I just installed google voice and a slew of text messages came back, however i still can not get them to appear in my messaging app. The people at sprint arent very helpful so im turning to you guys at XDA. Any input would be greatly appreciated
Anybody got any ideas?
Well I'd just sync ur Gmail account and just start over cuz u can go In circles with this....
Factory reset and reflash cm7 and it's gapps....
Do not do any titanium back cuz ur problem will follow u..
Then it all works make sure u back it up before u add anything to it so u have a solid base backup to go to.
Good luck

I would call Sprint and tell them that you Installed GoogleVoice and now your VoiceMail is all Messed up! I know VoiceMail isn't your problem but I Guaranty GoogleVoice is your problem Effecting All your Messages!
I recently had to do Exactly what I'm suggesting! They'll be able to see from their end that the Sprint VoiceMail has been Changed, Tell them to Switch you Back to the Sprint VoiceMail as your Default!

[Q] No Contact Names in Messenger

After flashing Dynamic Kat, little to no contact names are showing up in any sms apps. Any ideas? The contacts show up in the phone app and when I create a new message, but after sending that message the name disappears.

I have the same issue (running Dynamic Kat), and I am using GoSMS Pro for my Messenger. Also, when an incoming call is received, it now only shows the number.

There will be no other posts in here because you two are the only ones this is happening to
Having said that, what have you both done, or not done in common... Did you both perform clean installs or flash dirty over another rom?
Assuming you DID do clean installs, might I suggest maybe trying to go into app manager, clear the cache for ALL messaging apps, and maybe the phone even... reboot the phone and see if that changes anything.
I as well as MANY others have used Dynamic Kat for a long time (me since Ver 1)... I have NEVER seen anyone besides you two mention the behavior you guys are having. NOT saying others haven't... but I would think if so I would have read it, and Brian would have "fixed" it if it was ROM based.
well...
it happened to me to.. Sooo.. help? Or nawww

Can't make calls, phone app crashes

Already tried clearing cache and force stopping. Every time I try to open the app, it just closes right away. Any thoughts on the issue?

Try going to Settings /apps press the settings icon and check to see if you have the phone app set as default

It was. Weird thing happened, I apparently had a voicemail--once I listened to and deleted that, the app started opening again. Really strange.
Is it stock? If you flashed something, like a ROM or an app, it is probably that and you need to (clean?) re-flash the ROM. Happened to me before on another phone when I flashed, and a re-flash fixed it. NVM, seems you have it working now.

I had the same issue seems like the phone app can't handle voicemail. I turned off visual voicemail to see if I can isolate the issue. Let's see what happens. BTW does anyone know if the source code of phone app is opensource or not?
EDIT: I think I know what the issue is, the voicemail I received was from a private number (VOIP). Looks like visual voicemail was unable to determine the caller number and died (I did not look into the logs but I am fairly certain about it).
installing tmobile visual voicemail and deleting my voicemails fixed my issue. hope this helps someone.

Thanks I did a similar thing. I dialed my Voicemail from Truecaller and deleted them. So from what I have tested the default dialer app was not able to handle visual voicemail from Private/Unknown number. Looks like someone overlooked a null pointer error.
null/segv kind crash

I had the same issue. It turns out that I had a voicemail that was not deleted from an "unknown" number (t-mobile usa). The phone app was not able to handle it and crashed. I am assuming the phone number field was empty and whatever data that was there in its place from next field simply corrupted its memory or caused it to segv. I think this is just a bug in their phone app. In order to replicate the issue, just have someone block and send the voicemail to them and try opening the app, it crashes without any incident. Is there a way to see any exception thrown? or is that not on the consumer build?

You can use the user feedback app installed on the latest stock rom
Open it and recreate your crash and submit report to oneplus
If possible they will rectify in the next update
