Why do the applications stop on my Android cell phone, Samsung, etc.

Unfortunately this error is quite common on Android. While in certain cases you can fix it yourself, other times it may not be in your hands.

Unfortunately the application has stopped

The advertisement Unfortunately the application has stopped It can be due to a temporary problem with the application (which is the most common). For example, corrupted app data.

The other probability is that it is an unexpected behavior of the Android system, which should also be solved with a restart or at most with a factory reset. Except when it comes to a clone cell. In this type of device it sometimes happens that ALL applications stop and not even a reset can fix the fault.

Solutions

Try the alternatives below one by one.

1. Restart the device

Turn the cell phone off and on again.

2. Clear application data

Try this solution to the notice Facebook stopped on your Samsung Galaxy

First try clearing the application cache:

Settings> Applications> Application name> Clear cache.

If the above doesn’t work, try clearing the app data:

Settings> Applications> Application name> Clear data.

This second step will reset the application and it will leave it as just installed.

3. Reinstall the application

Settings> Applications> Application Name> Uninstall.

Then go to the Google Play Store, search for the app and install again.

4. Update, Update

The current version of the app may be the problem. You have to try a current version, or an older one.

If it is an app that you downloaded from the Play Store, you will only have to look for it there and see if the “Update” button is available.

On the other hand, to go back to a previous version of the application, you must first know what version you currently have. This is done by going to Settings> Applications> Application Name. At the top or bottom of the screen you will see the version number.

Now that you know what version number you have, first uninstall it (you will not be able to install an old version over the current one). Next, look for the APK file of an older version on Google. Preferably, that you find the APK on the website apkmirror.com O apkpure.com, where APK files are safe. Finally, tap on the APK file to install it.

APPS preinstaladas

Yes you go up Instagram stopped, maybe this is the remedy.

Pre-installed apps cannot be uninstalled. You can update them without problem in the way indicated before. But to downgrade you will have to do the following:

Settings> Applications> Application Name> Uninstall updates.

This is very useful to solve any problem with the factory apps, such as Google Play Services.

Android system

In case there is an incompatibility between the application version and the Android version of the phone, the other option is to update the system (Settings> Software update).

Downgrading the Android system is already more complicated.

5. Safe mode

If for some reason you cannot delete data, reinstall or uninstall an application updates, the possible solution is to enter safe mode and do it from there. This is useful if, for example, you get the message Settings has been stopped and it is impossible to do the above.

6. Install in internal memory

Some applications do not work properly on the SD card or external memory. If you installed it there, or moved it (especially forcibly), then the app may be stopping for this reason (as well as running slower). To return the application to internal memory, you will basically have to reverse the procedure you did to move it or install it on the SD.

7. Clear cache from Recovery

You have to start the device in recovery mode. This will erase the temporary data in the device’s cache partition (it will not erase user data, so nothing to worry about).

Entering that power mode is easy. With the device off, simultaneously press the power button, volume up and start. Release the buttons when the brand logo appears. On the screen that will appear, execute the option Wipe Cache Partition.

8. Extraordinary failures

It is highly unlikely that the application error is due to a failure of the service, the servers or the company behind the application, especially if it is a large company like Google or Facebook (Instagram, WhatsApp). However, this has already happened in the past with Google and these companies, and if this is the case you will find evidence on Twitter by searching with the name of the app or the company.

msa continues to crash, an issue that prevents other apps from being used, apparently because the default WebView app was updated with a faulty update.

Another extraordinary reason why an app crashes can be a related application (for example, some faulty update in the latter). This has happened recently with the Android System WebView application, an application part of the Android system that allows you to view web pages within other apps. Due to a troublesome update, WebView caused crashes in multiple other apps, such as Gmail, Amazon, web browsers, and others. In this case the solution was to uninstall the recent WebView update (as explained above) or check if there was a recent version to update it.

9. Restore factory settings

To restore factory settings, go to Settings> Backup and reset> Restore factory settings.

This will reset the operating system installed on the computer to its initial or default state. Commonly it also deletes all the data stored by the user, so it is convenient to make a backup of all of them.

10. Contact the developer

It is unlikely that there is a programming flaw in the application (especially if it is an app from a major developer, such as Instagram, Samsung, Google, Facebook, etc.). Anyway, you can try to get in touch through the email indicated on the application page on Google Play.
