"There was an error in the application com.android.phone", "com.android phone process stopped": how to fix it?

Why is everyone buying a mobile phone now? Of course, modern smartphones have a phenomenal set of functions. With the help of the Android operating system, the phone can easily turn into a player, video player, game or, say, a powerful calculating tool using the right applications. However, the most basic function of any phone is the ability to call. But what to do if the error pops up: "An error has occurred in the application com.android.phone" and the phone stopped ringing?

Primary function

The original function of any phone was one - to call. With the technological boom and the enormous development of the mobile industry, nothing has changed. Although this is not noticeable for tons of applications for Android and rich functionality, the main function of any phone is still calls and communication. And with the loss of this function, the phone automatically ceases to be a phone, but becomes a multimedia device with the functions of playing music and video, reading e-books, launching applications and games.

The fact that the call function has stopped working signals a window with the words "an error occurred in the application com.android.phone" when trying to open the phone book. There may be several reasons for this:

• A failure in the work of the application "Phone" or its cluttered cache;
• Damage to this application by a virus or by the user.

The first step is simply to restart the smartphone. It is possible that as a result of intensive use of many different programs and applications in a row or simultaneously, the system function "Contacts" could fail. If the problem is just this, then the reboot should solve the problem. At least, this is the most elementary thing that can be done to correct a malfunction.

The reboot did not give anything

In the event that after rebooting, when you try to open the phone book again, the error "com.android.phone process is stopped" again means that you need to understand what the problem is and to "heal" the phone. The first thing you can think about in this situation is the clutter of the Phone application with a cache and temporary files.

In this case, the problem is fixed quite simply: you need to clean the cache and delete the temporary files. Open the settings of the smartphone, go to the "Applications" section. Here you need to switch to the "All" tab and find an application called "Phone". We open it and see below two buttons - "Clear cache" and "Erase data". We press both in turn. Also, it is not superfluous to get rid of temporary files in the entire mobile device. Specialized utilities such as Ccleaner or Clean Master can help with this . After cleaning, restart the smartphone and try again.

Problem "there was an error in the application com.android.phone" still remains

In the case when the previous method did not help, it is worth trying something else. For example, cancel the synchronization of the date and time with the Internet. Very often this method really helps. This is done in the following way: go to Settings, find the section "Date and time" in which you need to remove the check mark next to "Date and time of the network." As before, we reset the phone and try to go back into the contacts. I hope this time the com.android.phone error has disappeared (fly or any other smartphone brand has finally returned its primary function). If not, then we act like this.

Download application-"caller"

If the native "dialer" can not be restored, it will be necessary to replace it with something. We go to Google Play, we find an extraneous application for calls, install. Now you can call again.

In case there is no Internet access, you can download the application to your phone from the computer. This is done so. First you need to download the apk-file, ie. The dialer of the "dialer" from some site with applications. However, you need to be extremely careful and do not download the utility with viruses. To do this, you need to carefully read the program description and reviews. If there is even the slightest suspicion of the insecurity of the installer, we close this site and open another one (the benefit of the network is enough). So, the installer downloaded. Now you can go in two ways:

• Simply reset the .apk file to your phone via a USB cable or by any other means. After we open it on the phone and install it.
• Install the program InstallApk on your computer. We connect the gadget to the PC, run this utility and load the "dialer" on the smartphone.

Now there is a dialer. However, this is a temporary solution. In addition, the process of phone.android.com may still interfere with the normal use of the device. Therefore, the most useful thing is to bring the standard application "Phone" in order.

Cardinal measures

Not only when the error "Process com.android.phone is stopped", but also from all troubles saves the reset to the factory settings or backup. Backup is a function of restoring the phone system by returning to the factory settings using the backup copy of the OS. This is done as follows. Opens Settings where you can find the "Restore and reset" section. There is such a fad, as "Reset to factory settings." We click on it and wait until the process is over.

The only downside of the reset is the complete removal of the user's personal data from the mobile device. That is, all contacts, passwords, Wi-Fi networks will be deleted. Therefore, in order to keep this data, you need to synchronize with the Google system. It is also very useful to create a backup copy of contacts on a memory card or in the same account. When all important data is copied, you can start the recovery process with a reset.

Also, if an error occurred in the application com.android.phone, the problem may be solved by flashing the operating system. True, this is the most extreme option, it is resorted to only in the event that even the discharge is not able to help. In addition, to do it, you need to have certain skills, otherwise you can only damage the mobile device.

A couple of tips

To stop the process com.android.phone did not happen, you need to take care of your phone. It is not necessary to download everything, it is not known from where, otherwise you can pick up a virus that will disable the application "Phone". Also do not forget from time to time to clean your gadget from temporary files that clog the system and prevent it from working normally. It is also extremely undesirable to run a large number of games and applications at the same time, as this can cause an overload of RAM, which may result in "brakes" and malfunctions in some system applications.
