Galaxy S5 contacts has stopped working

[Anonymous]

Hey, i know there is a bug with android lollipop and the s5 with the contacts app randomly stopping working but i have notice that everytime the notifaction pops up on my phone that the contact app has stopped working my internal storage on my phone goes down alittle bit, i got go from having 5.55gb of available space then after the contacts app pops up saying it has stopped working my available space goes to 5.54gb

I'm just alittle concerned my storage is going to get swallowed up

If it's anything it will be just logging an error file.
You can clear these by deleting cache in recovery menu.

Thank you MI5 i clear the cache by going in storage but how do i get to the recovery menu?

[Anonymous]

I booted my phone in recovery mood and delete chache partition but my memory hasn't changed 😕

Hmm, may not be error logs then.
Not sure if it works still on Lollipop but you can try dialing *#9900# and select clear dumpstate.

Yeah that works, selected delete dump/logcat. Is that right?

Put my memory up by something daft like 0.2 haha

[MI5]

Yeah, that's the one.....
It must be something else taking up space then.
Emails, texts etc stored locally?

Deleting the dump/logcat worked, restarted my phone and got 0.8 back on available memory, can't wait for the update on the s5 that fixes these issues with lollipop. The contacts not working is bugging me especially it sucking up memory. Cheers MI5!
