[Q] Dropdown Menu Causes App to crash - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone having this problem?
Most apps with dropdown menus: Calendar and contacts is where I've been noticing it most. But any app with a dropdown menu, when selected, causes that app to crash.
I am running stock NC2. I am rooted. I have cleared the data and cache of the apps. I have even uninstalled and re-installed and still causes a crash.
Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks for any help in advance.

Missing SMS icon on contact popup window

Has anybody else seen this issue?
This is happening only with certain contacts... Not with all. The quick messaging link icon is missing. The button actually still works but its really tiny.
I've tried clearing data of the people app to no avail.
Any ideas?
Just checked my top 5 contacts and the SMS icons are there.

Problems with stock SMS notifications

I installed a messaging app called 8sms because I liked the theme of CM messaging. ( I am stock and unroofed so I couldn't install an inverted stock SMS app ) I noticed a problem with group messaging with 8sms so I switched back to stock. Now I don't receive notifications for any messages even though the setting for notifications is ticked in the messaging settings. I have tried clearing cache, data, restoring default settings and rebooted my phone. But to no avail, does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Did you uninstall the third party messaging app? I had that problem with GoSMS Pro. Notifications didn't work no matter what I did in settings and preferences with each app. It was not until I completely uninstalled Go that my notifications started working again. I've never experienced anything like this on any other android device I've used. No idea what causes this to happen.

Fixed the problem, it was an issue with MMSC settings within 8sms. I would recommend 8sms to anyone who is unrooted and wants a dark themed stock sms app

Facebook App Has Taken Over Share Menu In Multiple Apps

Ever since I update my DE to KK, I've noticed that Facebook has become the default share option in a number of apps including Chrome and Engadget.
I have reset the defaults on all apps to no avail. I've uninstalled all FB updates to see if an update was causing the issue, again to no avail. The only thing that corrects the problem is disabling FB altogether.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I'm running stock 4.4, non-rooted.
Stop using Facebook

Turns out this is a known issue with KitKat and not phone specific.

[Q] Renable Stock Messaging App

I had disabled the stock messaging app on my Moto X with stock Android 4.4.2. So far, this has been working great, and I don't have two messaging apps (Hangouts and Messaging) in the apps list. However, last night, I updated to 4.4.3, and now I can't send text messages. Hangouts crashes every time I start typing a message. I realized it might be because I had disabled the stock messaging app and went to go and reenable it in the App settings. So I went to Settings -> Apps -> Disabled, and tapped on Messaging. But the enable button is greyed out. Is there any way to reenable the app without resetting the phone? I can't seem to find any other way searching online doesn't show anyone else with this problem.
Thanks for any help!

I was able to solve this by defrosting the app in titanium backup!
Edit: For anyone else that stumbles on this thread, the enable button for disabled apps is greyed out in 4.4.3. If you are not rooted, one way to renable apps is to go to Settings > Apps > Disabled > Reset app preferences (under the menu button in the top right).

Problem with notifications

Hello guys,
I just got a P9 this week, but I'm facing a problem with notifications. I need to open the app to get notification. If I don't open the apps, I don't need notification (WhatsApp, Facebook).
Can anyone help with it ? There is a way to solve this ?
For Whatsapp you can make a widget from the app on your homescreen. Now the app is forced to run in the background and you get notifications. An other solution is to convert your apps into a system app. You can also go to settings>apps>settings>special access>Ignore Battery Optimization and click on the dropdown and select all apps. Then search Whatsapp and click on it. Then press allow.
