How to fix error message "Unfortunately app has stopped" in Android.

If you are an Android phone user and you have used Android phone for at least 2 years, you then must have come across the error message say, "Unfortunately, the google app has stopped". This error is a common error in Android devices, and many factors are responsible for this error, such as RAM, app storage, outdated apps, the app that keeps crashing is Android System Webview app. In this article, I am going to teach you how to fix this problem yourself.

Note that If the problem is chronic, you may not be able to carry out these possible solutions easily. In such case, continue to press ok when the error pops up and immediately reaching the solutions. That is, for each step to reach the affected app, you may have to click on the "ok" in the pop up error message.



METHOD 1. RE-INSTALL THE APP

Uninstall the affected app and then reinstall. Then check if the problem continues.




METHOD 2. UNINSTALL NEWLY INSTALLED APPS

Sometimes newly installed apps don't support the software or hardware of the device and thus they should be removed from the device to get rid of the errors caused by app itself.




METHOD 3. CLEAR CACHE/DATA

Cache files are main source of errors and problems in functioning of Apps. Clearing cache may solve most of the problems associated with Apps. To clear cache, go to Settings > Application > Manage apps > Select "All" tabs, select the app which was producing error (Google play store in our example) and then tap Clear cache and data.



METHOD 4. CLEAR RAM

Clearing RAM is a good deal when you are facing the error "Unfortunately, the app has stopped" in Android. As Apps running in background use plenty of RAM and thus there is less RAM available for the app usage hence producing the error. Go to Task Manager> RAM> Clear Memory.


METHOD 5. FACTORY RESET

If none of the methods above worked, you have to factory reset your device. Some of you may feel reluctant to do a factory reset, because the behaviour will erase all the data related to apps, all software updates, even your pictures, documents, messages, contacts and any personal files. You can backup all these prior to the factory reset to the Android memory storage
