. Clear Cache and Data

Try clearing the temporary storage area of your Contacts using these steps:

  • Go to Settings
  • Proceed to Application Manager
  • Select the All tab
  • Choose Contacts
  • Tap Clear Cache

Selecting Clear Data is optional since this will erase all the changes that you have made to some of your Phone app’s settings but it may solve the problem based on some users who have tried it.

  • Go back to the previous menu and choose Phone
  • Tap Clear Cache and Clear Data

2. Change Date Format

  • Go to Settings
  • Select More
  • Under Date and Time, change the format to 24 hours

3. Delete Rogue Apps

Start your phone under Safe Mode, observe if the problem occurs. If not, there is probably a third-party app causing the bug. Exit Safe Mode and try to recall the most recent app that you have installed prior to the problem. Disable it for a while to test whether the error still comes out.

4. Factory Reset

Nothing, everything that is not initialized will not let me run, I got a sim and micro SD, I restarted and nothing. It's giving me some time ago problems with contacts, tells me that the application is restarted or something similar and give to accept and point, but it got me pissed off topic. I love the look of Android Lollipop, but Kitkat not give me any problems, and this is already starting to touch me a little eggs. Initialize I would not, because I have already such a mess of photos, which I have on the phone and that have in the computer, which again makes me reorganize everything amazing coñazo also do not know how I do, I always lose something in the process, though I no longer remains no option. Nor is it certain that initializing will work. Maybe when you update to 5.0.1 suddenly fix automatically, just as screwed up, but I'll have to wait until then.Anyway, as continues, passing me in the end I see the iPhone 6 .

Good! If you do not want to reset it then I recommend goals by Odin the last ROM that has come out in UK (BOB9 if I'm not mistaken) where people say they have solved many bugs in addition to re-enter the mode without sound (Hallelujah! ). Hopefully soon we upgrade to 5.0.2 (or 5.1, by ordering haha). With regard to what the message "Contacts has stopped" is a general problem that occurred following the last update Whatsapp in our Galaxy S5 with Lollipop. It is a problem of implementation, and also assume you've probably noticed that goes 'as the ass', stumbled and others. The only thing left is to wait for the happy update application. Regards, and do not overdo 'the dark side' !!
