For some reason, when I try to edit my contacts in the stock Contacts app, I get that stupid "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped" message. Does anyone know why this is happening, and perhaps how to fix it? I tried deleting the data & cache and force stopping it, but nothing works. I did end up getting a more stable contacts app called Contacts +, but I'd still like to get this resolved anyway.

Could you elaborate on the preloaded app.

Does it happen all the time or is it random?

hi uli,

It happens EVERYTIME I try to edit a contact in that stock Contacts app. And I don't know how to fix it. Can't uninstall/reinstall it b/c it's one of those locked apps that you can't uninstall or even disable.

Nirvana rocks!

Could you test it in >>> safe mode

Ok....... I just tried that. EXACT same thing happens though.

Now what? lol

This is what I would do, backup everything > repair the phone with XC > do NOT restore any app and/or setting > test it > if you don't encounter the same issue then restore everything

What's XC?

I dunno uli. Sounds like a big hassle. lol I thought there was some quick fix but I guess not. Thanks anyway bud.

Oh XC.........ok I already have that.

But if I have to backup a bunch of stuff etc then it's not worth it to me. I can still edit the contacts with that Contacts + app, so it's fine. I just can't edit "Myself" in Contacts + b/c I don't show up in there, only in stock Contacts app. It really wasn't a big deal, so not worth all this trouble. lol

Thanks anyway uli!!
