[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] renfrja:
I've been through the forums and haven't seen this particular issue yet. It occurs for me on all JB ROMs (including stock RUU) so I didn't know exactly where to put it.

The Contacts Storage application appears to hang and blocks other threads. I don't receive text messages or various other notifications when the process is hung.

When the process hangs, I can open the dialer but am unable to view details on contacts. I'm also unable to switch phonebooks.

This has been driving me nuts and I've tried everything I can think of:

Multiple full wipes (including SD card and internal storage)

Different ROMs (MeanBean, Stock w/ Goodies, SuperJelly, etc)

Flashed 3.15.651.16 RUU

Tried updating the Contacts Storage application with this HTC patch: "Android.process.acore force close fix for all devices running Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean)"

I'm not syncing anything else

I did run logcat and see the problem - however, I have no idea why it's occurring.

Looks like I have an SQLite query hanging. I've tried deleting the referenced contact id - it just throws the same error with another id.

W/SQLiteConnectionPool( 9277): The connection pool for database '/data/user/0/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db' has been unable to grant a connection to thread 739 (ContactsProviderWorker) with flags 0x2 for 60.004 seconds.

GROUP BY contact_id) <> 1 )"

Anybody have any ideas? I'm desperate at this point.

This does not occur on ICS.

I'm s-off, baseband 1.12.11.1119, and hboot 2.09

Thanks

HTC just issued a fix for this. Hasn't pushed out yet, but can be manually downloaded and installed:

Thanks - but, that's not it. I've already tried installing the updated apk (even though my issue was different - I'm not syncing Facebook and none of my contacts have birthdays stored). The issue was not resolved. Granted I installed the updated apk when running MeanBean. But, I don't think that'd make a difference.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] azkevman:
Sorry, figured it was related....missed the part in your OP stating you had installed the patch. Hope you find a solution soon.

It fixed it 4 about 5 mins but know its all screwed
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] renfrja:
I went round and round with this for several days. I was unable to get things working on JB regardless of what I wiped/reset. I ended up locking everything back up and taking the full RUU and the problem persisted.

I ended up returning it to Sprint and getting a new phone.

I figure it was either something corrupt in the internal memory or something got borked in the s-off procedure.

The new device doesn't have the issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jspsuperman:
That sucks if thats what I have to do, Ive had this phone since launch day :crying:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cbatiste1993:
I know that I'm in the wrong section but I am experiencing the same exact thing. My contacts just hang and i can't open messaging. In my logcat i see the Contacts2.db unable to grant a connection to thread x. This started happening to me about 2 months after I went s-off so I'm not sure what could have happened. I'm still in the process of trying to fix it, i have a nandroid backup so I'll try that next.

I'm using SwiftKey Flow.

You can flow couple of words at the same time, which is awesome, and you can enter ?/! very fast!
[Galaxy Note II General] darni:
Samsung keyboard. Only one with swipe, handwriting and number row. AFAIK.
[Galaxy Note II General] cpm:
For me the Samsung continues input is a very superior option. Even with fast and sometimes inaccurate swiping it manages to get it just right most of the time. One of the best keyboards I've used. It's just so fast and accurate.
[Galaxy Note II General] strielok:
hacker's keyboard for me the best!!
[Galaxy Note II General] xeesha:
Samsung keyboard memorize your frequently used sentence even. You enter the first word and it will keep predicted the entire sentence. Love the default one with continues input
[Galaxy Note II General] geekoo:
The default keyboard is the best IMHO. Every other keyboard, irrespective of its benefits, leaves out the benefits of Note 2: lacking in s-pen support etc.

The only irritation with the default keyboard is that there is no autocorrect. I have to manually choose the correct word from the list and it doesn't autopick the selected words when space is pressed.
[Galaxy Note II General] EdgaBimbam:
For me samsung the best.
[Galaxy Note II General] bdesja1:
Anyone find a way to enable Swift Key or Swype tablet modes? One of the best options on the default keyboard is that it has one-handed control. Swype and swift key have this mode as well but only for tablets. I miss easily swyping symbols. Perhaps the only way is to root and change the DPI?
[Galaxy Note II General] amit_sen:
I am now using the Kii Keyboard and loving it. Very fast and accurate typing with lots of options to customize.

I prefer gn2 default stock keyboard.. I write a lot in Serbian, and i can use swype then.. When im writing on english i use handwriting or prediction.

The numbers above keyboard are Major ability why i choose stock keyboard
[Galaxy Note II General] pbuder@gmail.com:
I have been using SwiftKey since it first came out. Would try others but always came back to SwiftKey. For typing or swype, I just am not getting comfortable with the stock keyboard but would hate to lose the s-pen button. I will be a very happy camper if SwiftKey adds support for the s-pen.
[Galaxy Note II General] Scolaro:
SwiftKey 3 for me, since I type both English and German text, and the keyboard recognizes (and makes suggestions for) both languages at the same time.
[Galaxy Note II General] Sammath:
Been using SwiftKey 3 tablet version for a while now.

Have to say it's the best I've ever used.

And it works very nicely with my 240 dpi mode.

Also nice keyboard when in landscape mode :)

[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Swype is the reason for me to stick with Android, but their latest beta is ****ed up with dictionary issues, so I tried latest SwiftKey Flow Beta, and it has some issues as well, so for now it's Samsung's default keyboard with continuous input. But I'm keenly waiting for the next beta of Swype, which is coming shortly as per their mod.

SwiftKey.....
[Galaxy Note II General] el_roy1985:
I never got into the whole swype(continuous) thing. Tried it for a while, but I prefer to just type it out. Just seems quicker to me. What I do miss, is the misspelled words being underlined with my custom ROMmed (paranoid android) Infuse 4g. That was incredibly convenient.
[Galaxy Note II General] AlanDS:
I am using Samsung stock keyboard and its awesome.. No need of any any 3rd party keyboard for my usage..
[Galaxy Note II General] Giocarro:
I use Android 4.2 keyboard with continuous input at the moment. Would gladly switch to Samsung if it didn't make it so slow to type punctuation characters; it requires just too many taps compared to Android one.
[Galaxy Note II General] Colt77:
I use Swype (one before latest version so it won't forget my words) and testing SwiftKey Flow. Will switch to SwiftKey the moment they add select all/copy/paste shortcuts like in Swype unless Swype will fix all that crap they shot themselves in the foot with.
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Yeah, I'm using the newest Swype Beta, but it definitely has problems this go around.

It forgot my words, and wouldn't let me delete words I didn't want.

I deleted DATA and everything started working fine, but it forgot all my old words even though sync is on.

It's the best, especially if you use a lot of random punctuation, which is difficult to get to on all the other Swipe-like keyboards.
[Galaxy Note II General] Baenwort:
I'm using the handwriting entry when I can and subsisting on the default keyboard when I can't avoid it. I wish there was a FITALY keyboard for Android. I loved that keyboard back in the resistive screen stylus days and now that I have a stylus again I really want it back.
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Swype Beta 1.4 released!
[Galaxy Note II General] krwkenn:
I'm using the stock Samsung keyboard, it works well for me and is a great improvement over past versions (which used to exhibit some horrible lag at times) so I didn't see the need to go out and buy a replacement keyboard app.
[Galaxy Note II General] cellfrens:
The Samsung keyboard is awesome:)
[Galaxy Note II General] victorator:
Swiftkey3 or Stock, depends if I'm using multiwindows or not.
[Galaxy Note II General] KyleDevlin12:
Default does the work for me its brilliant and one hand feature kills it :D
[Galaxy Note II General] dannejanne:
Stock keyboard. It has the Swiftkey predictions (which is the keyboard I've always used before) and it has the s-pen and multiwindow features. Wouldn't want to be without any of them.
[Galaxy Note II General] Nuvolaz:
I used the new samsung keyboard with the prediction but I continue using SwiftKey for the automatic correction system (Press space and the word will be corrected) . This make writing very fast and accurately at the same time.

With the samsung instead you have to press to the correct word and there isn't an automatic correction.

But if there is some option that add this feature to the samsung keyboard I will use it for sure.
[Galaxy Note II General] maxram:
But it's great enough hehe I love the way I can switch with s pen.

Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!
[Galaxy Note II General] cdnmaplechick:
Swype Beta... I like having the option of being able to swipe across the keyboard and long-press keys to get the corresponding symbols. Makes for entering email addresses and whatnot a lot easier.
[Galaxy Note II General] Grant Barker:
I've tried a few. I prefer A.I.type Keyboard, or ATOK if I need to type in Japanese. In fact I wish I could stop the Samsung keyboard from defaulting back. Even though I set the phone to use A.I.type, it seems to default back sometimes. Maybe it's a setting/relationship with a particular mailing app or something on my device. There are a few Android keyboards in my sig.
[Galaxy Note II General] IsolatedAbyss:
My t thoughts are the same. The lack of s pen support in the third party keyboards is a real pity. For now I'm sticking to Samsung stock.
[Galaxy Note II General] EP2008:
There's too much that the stock keyboard offers that no other keyboard does , and I've tried every keyboard out there!

-multi item clipboard.

- photo to text (ocr)

- handwriting

- accurate predictions

-swiping

-voice to text

- number row

It's a great package.
[Galaxy Note II General] dreamtheater39:
Swiftkey flow rocks! The best prediction engine ever, simply! I type at breakneck speeds without any form of accuracy whatsoever, and it ends up getting them all right! Somehow reads into my mind i guess :)

Besides, swiping input is now possible and whats great is that i can type long sentences without ever stopping, all in one go! - by swiping to the spacebar between words :)

You must try swiftkey to believe how good it is! Go grab the swiftkey flow tablet beta for the note2 and give it a go
[Galaxy Note II General] snip3r77:
I'm using swiftkey
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Swype Beta latest undoubtedly. SKF has custom words saving problem, and some other bugs too. If it isn't Swype, it'd be the stock Samsung keyboard with 'continuous input', it's a very good keyboard.

Latest Swype beta for me really rocks, with the Samsung kybd as fallback (love the numbers row). Tried SKF, deleted
[Galaxy Note II General] Patosbuddy:
After reading about Swype today I downloaded it with out knowing that it was that good.

I love it.

Never thought that I would ever find something that was better than swiftkey.

They need some more size adjustment though.

I like the swiftkey layout better.

The best thing for me is that it supports my voice language.
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
And the new Swype Beta solved the "spacing" problem that it had before!

Love it!

There is the possibility to change something about size of space bar? Or remove the Dragon button?

This Keyboard is quite good especially if you want to customize size etc etc
[Galaxy Note II General] MU24R:
how do you activate the symbols on the samsung keyboard!
[Galaxy Note II General] Grant Barker:
Another reason I like A.I.type Keyboard is because you can adjust the size of the keys using the button, as shown.

Of course you can remove the numbers along the top, etc.

So far, I've tried these.

Haha, you're lucky! I really need the auto-replacement of words. I am a lot of the time not looking at the screen as a type. Or I miss a letter (and hit one next to it) and then hit space right away.

Quick question. I was with bell and now i'm with Fido. After unlocking the cellphone I did a factory reset just to start fresh and everything work perfectly

would it make a difference?

You should be fine using the same ROM as you did before; about the only difference between the carrier-provided ROMs up here is any carrier-specific bloatware.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hedeon:
Hi.

Do you guys thing it would be possible to build some sort of button/switch plugable to the phone via USB or headphones jack so I can turn screen ON/OFF?

I am cycling and using phone as my GPS/mapping device. Phone is in the waterproof mount on my handlebar, and turning screen on while on the move through that case + having gloves on my hands is impossible. I am struggling even at full stop. I tried riding with screen always on but battery died after 1-2 hours, plus I don't need it to be on all the time.

So perfect solution would be some sort of switch mounted close to handlebars, somehow plugged to the phone, allowing me to control screen with it?

Do you think it is possible? Any ideas?

Thanks

Not exactly an external switch but have you looked at pgm nexus, from playstore, may give you a slightly more convenient way to lock and also wake screen than using power button.
