So for the better part of a week now, at the worst possible time of course while I was 2 days into a week long vacation, I ran into “android.process.acore has stopped” error message on my LG G3 phone with Android version 5.0.1.<\/p>\n
Here is what I experienced and to say it was a little annoying is an understatement. I noticed that every time something attempted to access any contacts a popup window would appear on my screen saying “android.process.acore has stopped”. This little dialog box, no matter what I was doing, would take focus away and keep me pretty much from doing anything other than dictating through Google Text related apps.<\/p>\n
I tried All the “easy fixes” and “tricks” to solve this issue and yeah, nothing worked. I was one of the “difficult ones to fix” or so every reference that I found on the web to fix it stated.<\/p>\n
I tried going to\u00a0Settings > Apps > All Apps\u00a0<\/strong>> Contacts<\/strong> and\u00a0Contact Storage<\/strong> and did\u00a0Clear Data, Force Stop\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Clear Cache<\/strong> with no luck.<\/p>\n I tried\u00a0Settings > Apps >\u00a0<\/strong>three little dots, Tap on them and then selected\u00a0Choose Reset App Preferences\u00a0> Reset Apps<\/strong>. Yeah, still no luck.<\/p>\n Some people recommended removing\u00a0Contacts<\/strong> but with my LG G3 it comes with the Stock ROM and I am unable remove it.<\/p>\n The final option I found was do a Factory Reset. I was not willing to do this yet as I had over 3 years of data and usage on my phone from Apps I use daily, to Photos and Music to worlds on Minecraft. I was not going to go down this road unless I had to.<\/p>\n So, I tried to clear the stuff one last time and still no luck. Then I remembered reading something sometime that Contacts pull Facebook contacts. Not only that but I started thinking that I thought I had read something on an update the Facebook Messenger was now a “one stop messaging app with phone, sms and other features”. Could this be my problem?<\/p>\n So, I pulled the trigger and uninstalled\u00a0Facebook Messenger\u00a0<\/strong>and to my surprise, my nearly every 5-15 second popup dialog box stopped. Not only did that stop but I once again had access to\u00a0Phone<\/strong> and\u00a0Contacts<\/strong> which I had not been able to use in about a week.<\/p>\n Problem Solved! I was able to resync my contacts with my Google Contacts again and I’m back to normal – aside from now needing to set ALL my App Preferences again 8( … However, I would rather want to do just that than that ugly final option of a\u00a0Factory Reset<\/strong> which a lot of others had to do – which, ironically uninstalled Facebook Messenger.<\/p>\n If you run into this problem, hopefully you have tried these items before the dreaded Factory Reset and it has helped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So for the better part of a week now, at the worst possible time of course while I was 2 days into a week long vacation, I ran into “android.process.acore has stopped” error message on my LG G3 phone with Android version 5.0.1.
