Need to know how to fix “application has stopped” Android error? Few things are as annoying as when one of the applications you have on your smartphone suddenly closes and the message appears “application has stopped”.
And while Android developers do a lot of work on stability, it happens a lot.
How to get rid of Android “application has stopped” problem
Clear cache and data
The first step we must take is, logically, to find which application is giving the error. If we have several apps open, it may not be completely clear to us, so writing down their name is an important step.
The first thing we can do to avoid problems is wipe cache of our mobile. Many times that is where the problem lies.
If the app still can't open, we may have no choice but to delete the data. This step will erase all temporary data from the app, so that it is finally the same as when you downloaded it.
This is not usually a big problem if it is an app that saves data in the cloud, as is the case with Twitter or Facebook. As soon as you log back in with your account, everything will work as usual again. But if it is an app that saves files locally, we are sorry to tell you that they are likely to be lost. So make a backup.
Uninstall the Android app
If problem persists, and it is an app downloaded by you, another way to fix it may be to uninstall the app and install it again. Many times something so simple can be a solution to this annoying error.
In the event that it is a system application, you will not be able to uninstall it, but you will be able to try disable it. Of course, this will prevent you from using it correctly later, so the advice may not help you too much.
It is also possible that the error can be fixed by rolling back to an earlier version of the app. But you probably won't find it in the Google Play Store and you have no choice but to resort to its apk.
In the event that there is no way to solve the problem, a good option may be to look for an alternative app that offers a similar function.
Update your Android phone to avoid “application has stopped” issues
Finally, it is important that you know that when tu Android mobile is up to date problems of this type are less likely to occur. Therefore, we recommend that you ensure that you always have the latest version of Android available.
Reboot or restore Android mobile phone
If clearing the cache doesn't work for you, there is a very simple but frequently working solution: reset the phone.
Many times the solution to problems is as simple as turning our mobile phone off and on again. Yes, we know, it is the first thing a computer scientist tells you to do, if you have problems with your computer. But it is so.
If the above has not worked for you and neither has the restart, it only remains to format and factory reset your android. It's too drastic, but if you can't live without that app, it's an option.
