It is not a problem that affects not only novice users, but Android owners advanced feel the same (the only difference is the latter usually know how to fix it): sometimes, when an application is used, which suddenly is closed and the message 'unfortunately (fill in the blank) has stopped "appears. This message also appears when you are not even using the application. Here is a way to solve this problem.
Cleaning of application storage
This problem often arises with the contact, gallery and home applications, among many others. For example, whenever I get the error "Unfortunately contacts has stopped" on my Galaxy S3 and is especially bothersome. The procedure to solve this problem is usually it is always the same.
First, you must navigate to the configuration of its Android smartphones.
Scroll down until you see the Application Manager or apps, the name varies depending on the Android device.
Swipe left to find the tab 'All' applications.
Scroll to the application that stopped and click on it.
Here you can clear the data and cache.
The thing to understand is that data cleansing, changes in application settings will be erased, but not the actual content, like images in the Gallery application, for example. Cleaning the cache will get rid of the saved data that allow applications to load much faster when booting. Deleting this only slowly opening up an application a bit, but will also help solve the problem.
android memory cleaning
In addition to clearing the cache memory with red arrow, always want to delete the data, this all stored settings for the application in question will be deleted. ©
Uninstall application
If the application is not an integrated application, such as contacts, for example, you can also try to uninstall and reinstall the application again from the Google Play store. Just open the Play Store application and open the menu bar on the left and press party to My Apps "". Locate the app in question and click uninstall, it takes a few seconds. Atterwards can reinstall.
Restoring software
You can also try to do a soft reset. This is super simple and very effective if the phone has been for a long time. A soft reset your phone cycle, ie, turn it off and back on again lights. Of course, this will not erase anything. It is a good idea to turn off the phone every few days for a few minutes and will help slow phone with a variety of issues, whether applications, network, audio, e-mail problems and more.
For the game of Google itself does not work, the solution is a little more extensive: clear the cache as a first step, and if this is not so clear things up, then you can delete the data, and finally uninstall Play Store updates. The same applies to the services of Google Play, but try these one by one, you do not want to lose all your preferences Play Store without reason.
Last resort: factory reset
In the worst cases where nothing works, you can use a factory reset, but again, this really should not be done until there is no other option is presented. When you do a factory reset, make sure you have backed up all your data beforehand. I repeat: the backup of all your data first. I'm serious. Do it. A factory reset will erase the device to factory settings, taking any errors with it. Then, you can restore applications and data later.
