Edit: Some people have reported in the comments that this solution DOES DELETE YOUR CONTACTS. Use at your own risk!
The problem:
Your Android device (tablet, phone, Android TV) gives you the following message.
“The process android.process.acore has stopped working.”
The solution:
Settings –> Applications –> Manage Applications –> All (button on the top that lets you see all applications) –> scroll down to “Contacts Storage” –> Click on “Clear Data”.
This worked on my Android TV and I have seen reports of it working on other Android devices.
DISCLAIMER!!!
I do not have any contacts stored on my Android TV, so this solution did not cause any problems with my device. If you are using a contacts list on your device, I cannot say whether this will cause problems with your list of contacts. If you think it might, please look for another solution. (If anyone is brave enough to try it anyway, please let me know!)
Fixed the Problem on my A1. Thanx a lot…
Worked for me while alternating custom Roms on a motorola Xoom. Thank you.
I have this problem but the message appears every second, so I can’t touch any other button on my tablet, can someone help me?:(
this tablet is b.s and to think i got 4–(pandigital novel) it keeps saying process acore has stop working. WOW. there is nothing on it-just got it less than 24hrs ago, and i call the company, they said company in bankruptcy–out of business…just wasted money
It work!!!
even in the emulator..:D
thank you so much

seems to work so far. still waiting for error to popup. i was without my phone for last 5 days until reading this. kudos!
I doesn’t work on my lenovo tablet :(
Brilliant. I had just installed the CM ROM as well as the google apps, when this error message came up. I looked at and read a whole bunch of sites, but you were the only one to explain how to solve the problem on my Nexus 7.
Thank you very much.
It have deleted all my Contacts but still the same problem, whan ever I open my contact and click on any contact shows the mesg. (the process android processacore has stopped unexpectedly.please try again.) for my huawei U8860
Hi, this may be a silly question, but the same thing is happening on my huawei phone….. if I have all my contacts saved to my sim not my phone, will it still delete them all
Excellent !!! It worked for me and its very simple solution. No hastle of files processing etc,.
Wow—–thanks I had written all them down, and it didn’t remove contacts!
Unfortunately, I lost all my contacts, call log, etc. Didn’t work on my LG G2x Android cell phone.
i have an LG g2x – i don’t want to have it delete all my contacts – any suggestions?
The screen has the message in a window that is on top of the main screen with a “force close” button. Can’t get to anything because of this. I have tried reset; unplug battery; remove microsd. What now?

The solution is simple…uninstall Hotmail and any other app from Microsoft.
Working well, thanks fr the support
Only Deleting the data of Contact/-Storage Service and so on .. didnt fix the problem for me. (Android 2.3.7)
But Uninstalling all Microsoft apps (including Skype) worked for me.
I guess if that doesnt help its worth a try to uninstall all applications that use your Contacts or sync with them.
Well DONE !!
all procedures done to my huawei ascend g510 but to no avail..still geting the same message..so annoying.
Realmente funciona, uma soluçã osimples e eficaz!

I had this problem AFTER installing skype. I cleared contact data the first time I got this error, had to re-do contacts :\ …. Second time I uninstalled Skype, this seemed to fix it for me. Check other programs that ask about messing with “contacts”.
Worked on my Nexus 7. Thanks a million!

applications) –> scroll down to “Contacts
Storage” –> Click on “Clear Data”.)
3. Unistall all social apps: fcbook, tango, nimbuzz, etc.
4. SOLVED!!!!
5. All contacts were imported from sdcard ang got them.
