First time poster, super long time reader...
I'm suddenly getting the "unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" every other minute on my Galaxy Note 5. (Carrier: AT&T but service is not active at the moment) After the error pops up, the phone vibrates once, sometimes twice. It's extremely annoying, not to mention that it disables the phone from working... I went online, read that I should delete the data from the phone app. I did. No luck... I also read that I could try wiping the cache partition, so I tried that too... Again, no luck... I went back into the application manager and noticed that I had 3 different "phone" apps - all with different version numbers and different amounts of data. 2 of the 3 had used 30ish mbs of data in the last 3 hours, which I found interesting because the stock phone app hasn't been used in weeks. (phone is disconnected due to being poor)... I'm not sure if this is important or relevant to the problem, but still weird...
This just started today. This morning, I couldn't find my phone, so I went on to the device manager site and tried to ring it from there. I'm assuming this is what caused my problem because when I tried it again while having the phone in front of me, each time I tapped ring, I got an error... Not the phone error, but a Google play services has stopped error. (I initially did this from work, so I don't know what happened immediately after trying to ring it the first time).
I REALLY don't want to have to do a factory reset. I will if I have no other option, but I'm hoping there's another fix that I'm just not aware of yet...
Does anyone know how to resolve this? I'm *this close* from throwing my phone against the wall at this point!
Thanks!
