Even if Android is amazing, it is not 100% stable. From time to time, you may encounter some problems, small and large.

One such problem is the pop-up notification that says. This problem usually occurs while the application is running or in use, resulting in data loss. Here are some ways you can use to solve this problem.

1. Soft Reset

Sometimes the application crashes one-time, and performing a software restart will help solve this problem. Soft Reset means turn off the device, hold it off for a few seconds, and then turn it on.

Being electronic devices, smartphones are prone to problems. Sometimes a simple Soft Reset can solve the problem. It is recommended (but not necessary) to restart the smartphone at least once a day.

2. Forced stop

Forced stop means forcibly closing the application if it does not close or behaves differently than usual. Forcing an application to stop deletes any process associated with it. Here's how to make the application close:

  1. Go to “Settings” phone
  2. Go to “Applications”
  3. Find an application that behaves strangely or closes by itself
  4. Open it
  5. Click “Forced to stop”

Your application should now work fine.

3. Deleting application cache or application data

Sometimes clearing the application cache may solve the problem. To delete the application cache, open the application in the application manager and click on "Clear cache".

If the problem persists, try deleting the application data. Deleting application data will also clear the application cache. Deleting application data can delete all data stored in the application, so make sure you have a backup copy of the data. To delete application data, open the application in the application manager and click on “Clear data”.

4. Uninstall and reinstall the application

Sometimes uninstalling an application and reinstalling it from the Play Store may also solve the problem, given that the application is not a system one.

5. Cleaning the system cache

If this problem occurs in several applications, that is, several applications stop on their own, you may need to clear the system cache. Here's how to do it:

  1. Turn off the phone
  2. In this step, you need to enter recovery mode, the login method may be different depending on the device model, for example, Samsung allows you to do this with the following key combination: simultaneously press Volume Up + Power + Home Button
  3. If you did everything correctly, you should get into the recovery mode menu
  4. Use the volume key to switch between sections of the menu. Find “Wipe Cache Partition”
  5. Press the power button to confirm
  6. Once the cache is cleared, select “System Reboot”press the power button again

6. Factory Reset

If the above methods do not solve the problem, you may have to reset the settings.

Before performing a reset, make sure that all your data is archived, since you will lose all data after resetting to factory settings.

To perform a factory reset, go to your phone’s settings, then go to “Archiving and dumping”that is in the subheading “Personal” or “ Accounts”(Each differently), then click on the button “Data Reset”. This should probably fix the error. “Sorry, the application has stopped”.


The “Application Not Installed” plate is probably one of the most common errors on the Android platform. According to statistics, more than 65% of users of a popular operating system often encounter this problem. Why is this happening and how to get rid of the appearance of annoying error? Let's try to figure it out! To begin with, we need to determine the cause of its appearance.

Common reasons:

1) The user made a mistake during the installation of the selected content

2) The developer did not have time to properly test his creation

3) Device malfunction - viruses, application conflicts, insufficient memory

4) The program does not meet the characteristics of your device.

So, we figured out the reasons. Now we pass directly to the solution. To begin with, we need to decide which of the four items most closely matches this particular situation. If with paragraphs 2 and 4 everything is relatively clear, then the other options lend themselves perfectly to treatment.

Solution of problems:

1. Go to the "Settings" section, select "Application Manager", click on the tab with our program and delete all data. We try to install again.

2. Reboot the device. We clean the RAM and physical memory. We get rid of unnecessary applications and the remnants of incorrectly deleted content. Trying to install again.

3. Often the “Application Not Installed” sign appears for users who want to download an application that is already on the device, but has an earlier version. In this case, we need to get rid of old version  and everything connected with it. Reboot, try again.

If you use any of the mobile brainchilds of the family Samsung Galaxy, then you probably are familiar with the whole gamut of bright and lively emotions that occurs when a message suddenly appears on the device’s screen that something is stopped in Galaxy. Here, as they say, arrived.

In general, Samsung Galaxy likes to stop, and everything is in a row: either some application is stopped, then the process is stopped, then the system interface is stopped.

But we will not talk about sad things, but rather we’ll talk about what to do in case of such sudden stops. so

“Application stopped” - what does it mean?

Of course, when a user sees such a notification on the screen of his Samsung Galaxy, then he at least guesses that some of the active programs have failed.

And that means we should restart it, because it’s in such a simple way that such problems are usually solved.

But what if the system writes that not just the application is stopped, but “ Samsung Galaxy app stopped ”, and besides, after a normal restart, the ill-fated tablet appears again, and again, and again ...

The message “Samsung Galaxy application is stopped”

In fact, the “Samsung Galaxy Application is stopped” in this case is given purely as an example, since, as we have already said, Galaxy stops anything. Plus, judging by the number of comments on the forums, that’s how different Galaxy lately  began to “please” their owners more often. Nevertheless, in the majority of cases, the method described below can deal with this and other similar “stops”.

First, note that the message “Samsung Galaxy application is stopped” (or just some application is stopped) not only indicates the occurrence of a software error, but also, most often, involves a complete reset of the settings of the smartphone (or tablet). It’s clear that after such a radical impact, the problem will disappear, but after all the very settings, as well as a lot of important data, will inevitably disappear with it, backups  which were not created. In other words, solving one problem, we get a bunch of others.

But you can go the other way, and instead full reset settings, you can try to remove and reinstall only the problematic application and / or clear the cache. Often this helps to fix this kind of problem.

Now, briefly on how to clear the cache of a problem application in the Android OS:

STEP 1. Open the settings menu and find " Application Manager"(If you have not Galaxy, but another Android smartphone, then in" Settings"Open" Applications«);

STEP 2. Tap the tab " ALL»At the top of the screen and find the problem application in the list (in our case,“ Samsung Galaxy ”);

STEP 4. We reboot the smartphone and remember the procedure in case the Galaxy stops something again.
