How to remove the error message 'Unfortunately, App Has Stopped'

Seeing the message 'Unfortunately, App has stopped' when you're doing something on the Android app can be frustrating. If this message appears continuously, the situation is even worse. What can you do to fix this error?

Restart the phone

Please reboot your device! This is the standard remedy for all problems with mobile phones. Doing so frees any jammed memory. Turning off your phone for a few minutes every few days is helpful in helping to avoid performance issues.

Check the Internet connection

The signal strength of an Internet connection can sometimes cause problems with your application. Switching from WiFi to mobile data can also affect performance. If you want to change the network, it's best to close the application you're using first, then switch.

Delete application memory

Over time, your application stores data and files in the cache. When those data are accumulated, the application will be easily stopped.

The 'Clear cache' option is where you should start. This step only deletes the saved data, making your application load more quickly.

The "Clear data" option will delete all application data. All files, settings and accounts will disappear, bringing the application back to its original state.

1. Open Settings.

2. Click Apps.

SD card

The 'Unfortunately App has stopped' error message may also be caused by a broken SD card. To check, remove the SD card and try entering the application again. If it works normally, the SD card is the cause of the problem. You need to buy a new memory card. But before that, you can transfer data from that card to your computer and then put them in a new card.

Uninstall and reinstall the application

Sometimes the applications you use are corrupted by viruses or from your deleting system files. To fix this, open Google Play Store and uninstall the application from your phone, then reinstall it.

1. Open Play Store.

2. Click on the menu bar (three horizontal lines in the upper left corner).

3. Select 'My apps and games' .

4. Click the application you want to delete.

5. Click Uninstall and wait a while while the application is deleted from your phone.

6. Click Reinstall and try using the application again.

Delete the cache partition

Another option to fix this is to delete the cache partition. This step will completely clean the data and cache, including your game progress and chat logs, so this is one of the last options to try. To start, boot your phone into Recovery mode.

1. Turn off your phone.

2. Press the power button and volume up button at the same time. (This may vary depending on the model you use. Refer to the documentation on the Internet if this button combination does not work).

3. Locate the option 'Control the Screen' and use your volume up / down buttons to select it, then press the power button to confirm.

4. Select 'Wipe cache partition' and press the power button.

5. At the end of the process, select Reboot system and let it reboot naturally.

Restore factory settings

Restoring factory settings is the last resort. If the application stops working, making your phone unusable, the last thing to try is to bring the phone to its original settings. Before doing this, remember to back up the data. The reset will clear everything from your phone.

Resetting the phone is done through the settings. Find the 'General management' menu and click 'Factory reset' . If not, find it in Settings.

How to prevent notifications from appearing?

There are several steps to take to prevent many instances of 'Unfortunately, App has stopped' errors.

Do not use too many applications at the same time. Sometimes, you don't pay attention to how many applications have been opened and whether all these applications run together can cause problems.

Keep your application up to date. Set up automatic update feature and periodically check the application to update.

Also, regularly clear the memory cache of the applications you use often. Using these methods will prevent 'Unfortunately, App has stopped' error messages from appearing in most cases. If none of these solutions fix the error, you should find an alternative application.

Wish you soon overcome the problem!
