Contacts crash when editing

[scraptacular]

I have a brand new LG g3 syncing only my google contacts. When I edit an existing contact, and it seems to be only ones that have a birthdate, the contacts app crashes. I have removed my Gmail account, cleared data, and re-synced, only to have the problem recur. the only work around I can think of is to delete all of the birth dates from my contacts but I really don't want to do that. Has anyone else had this problem or know of a fix? Thank you!

I would try a factory reset first since you're just setting the phone up so it won't hurt.. Maybe something with the software that is on there got bugged when being installed. Let me know if that helps.

I add contacts all the time with my Gmail and I have not had any issues it definitely sounds like a factory reset would help .

Thanks for the suggestion. I really didn't want to do that because I had just gotten it the way I wanted - you know how long that can take when you like everything just so! - but the factory reset fixed the contacts crashing issue.

UPDATE: The problem returned after the factory reset. Contacts containing birthdays crashed when trying to edit. But I found a fix over at XDA! Make the PHONE calendar visible in the default calendar app. I can't explain it, but no more contacts crashing.
