[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] weav2k4:
MikeyMike - I have this issue as well and has been the *only* thing that has plagued my phone.. I captured a logcat.. not sure if you are still supporting this to be bothered but let me know if you want the log to see what is up. I can always dial after force stopping contacts but is a bit frustrating when I am trying to call someone quickly.

Thanks again for a great rom! Has been my first and only ICS rom.. don't want to change to another and won't if this can be fixed. Would a different contacts.apk fix it?
