Title: Phone App Won’t Start
Post by: Richard Regal on June 07, 2018, 05:17:54 pm

When I try to open the ’phone app I get the message “Phone has stopped” with a button “Open app again”. When I tap on that button I get the message “Phone keeps stopping” with a button “Close app”.

I have restarted and powered off and powered up again to no avail. This is recent behaviour. The ’phone can see the network and downloads data.

Any clues?

I feel your shit-uation.  
Experienced the same issue.

So, I disabled the stock phone and messaging apps (and other android features apps).

Googled around and installed (then UNinstalled) several Play Store 4-stars rated phone, messaging and contact management apps.

Settled on 4pda and xda community project app developed 2013 called - True Phone (1.7.1 rev 89) app because of its built-in contacts phone, etc. info management feature.
Although it 'contains ads' I haven't yet seen any. Still, I will likely opt-in and pay ('help a starving developer') $1.99 for the ads free version.

Well, onward!

The annoying thing is that the ’phone rings when someone calls me. It is just that I can’t answer it or make calls.
