Ok, this is beginning to drive me crazy. Yes, I have searched the forum but have found very little in the way of answers. The only time I get this error is when trying to add a contact. What bothers me most is that adding a contact will work fine for a few days after clearing and flashing and then out of nowhere I get the failure again. I've tried every solution out there to repair the issue but it always comes back. Is anyone else experiencing this on the continuum? If you have but have gotten it correct could you please share your solution? I'm running adrenalyn's EC07 clean ROM after an Odin install of the SCH-I400-EC07-FROYO-REL-PRODUCTION ROM. I'm using Touchpal dialer but it doesn't matter if I use touchpal or the stock Touchwiz dialer & contact manager to add contacts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Ray

i havent had any add concact troubles but i would try this:

uninstall touchpal
reboot into cwm
clear cache and dalvik
reboot.

see if twcontacts works again... just gotta trouble shoot from there.

i had a similar episode with go sms, it was texting peole that i never texted before.

also, when u flashed ec07clean over stock did u wipe cache and dalvik?
if you want to start by reflashing, i would back up, flash ec07.tar in odin. enter stock recovery, clear cache, apply update to enter cwm, clear cache there as well as dalvik, instal ec07clean.zip, wipe cache and dalvik again (i know lol) boot, reboot, reboot into cwm, advanced restore data only. reboot

that will give you a very clean reinstall of rom, plus keep your data upto date with when you did your new backup :)

now like i said, this is what I would do, not making you. and if you dont think its possible for you. please dont :)

Thanks for the reply. I'm clearing the caches again after removing Touchpal. I suppose that can't hurt. I did do a full clear before and after both the stock ROM and the clean ROM. We'll see what happens. This is super frustrating. I don't add contacts that often but it really stinks when you can't. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep you posted.

Still failed after clearing caches. I really don't want to re-flash AGAIN. It's almost as if there are updates to something that occur a few days after re-flash and re-install of my apps. For now I guess I just have to log into my google contacts and add them that way. I had mentioned an issue with my bluetooth last week. I thought I had cleared up the issue but it seems to be creeping back. Quirky phones these are!

A logcat of the error would help give a idea of what's going on :)

Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium

Well, here ya go. This is the error log. Hopefully we can figure out what the "add contact" issue is. There are 2 failures in this log. Thanks for having a look.

i've had this issue on other android devices during frequent flashing.... usually corrupt data... wipe data and rebuild will fix it.

You're right, wiping all the data and re-flashing does work...and then it happens again. The questions are, what causes the corrupt data? can it be fixed? and what can be done so that it does not get corrupted again? Without these questions answered we just run around the same circle. I've wiped and re-flashed six times now and each time it reverts to the process stop and now way to add new contacts. Editing contacts does work however.

Peace,
Ray

Hey Josh, thanks for the suggestion. That is the process that I've used the last 2 times I started from scratch. I'll try it again this weekend. I could understand this happening if I was restoring backups but I've not restored in a couple of months.

Thanks again,
Ray

Hey, just poking my nose in the Continuum section as my wife still has hers.

With the data corruption issue (on your contacts), are you restoring them from either Verizon, or a backup? If so, more than likely there is a corrupt contact in the backup and that is probably what is hosing your contacts. Or, at least hosing the ADDING part of the contacts list. :D
