Some owners of devices running the Android operating system occasionally encounter errors in system applications. Often a failure occurs due to incorrect configuration of the device or lack of free space for a particular program to run. If the problem appears in an unused utility, then many people do not even pay attention to it. What to do when an error occurs in the phone application? This is the question we will try to answer in this article.
In which applications errors may appear on Android?
It is not always clear why an application error constantly pops up on Android. Moreover, it is not clear whether this happens only with system programs or also applies to those installed by the user. It is safe to say that the Android application error occurs the same on any program located in memory, and this does not depend on whether it is pre-installed or third-party.
Acore error appears in any application
Important! Third-party software is more susceptible to various types of errors, as it often conflicts with standard software and some services that use operating system resources for their own purposes.
Scan your hard drive for damage.
Before moving on to the following methods, it is worth checking your hard drive for damage and errors. You can easily do this with the following steps:
- Open Command Prompt the same way we did above.
- Then you should paste the chkdsk /f /r C: command and press Enter . If necessary, replace "C" with the letter of your hard drive.
- The system will scan for correct configuration and physical errors, and then automatically correct them.
This method is unlikely to solve the problem, so don't worry if it doesn't work.
Reasons for constant messages “An error has occurred in the application”
An error occurred in the Google Play Services application - how to fix it
There can be a huge number of reasons why programs crash and error messages are displayed. This includes not only software conflicts and failures, but also hardware malfunctions. For example, the internal memory of the device could partially fail and prevent the OS from accessing certain files that are necessary to run the application. Despite this, usually the cause is a software failure.
Resetting data is a last resort
Before trying to solve the Android error with program crashes, it is recommended to check for updates. Perhaps the developer released a new version of the application a long time ago, and the old one is no longer supported and crashes.
Check the integrity of system files.
As we mentioned at the beginning, problems with updating can occur due to missing or damaged files. Such files are usually very important for the proper operation of many Windows services. If some of these files are outside of their native environment, this may cause update errors. Below we will use SFC (System File Checker) and DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) to help detect and repair missing components. Here's how:
Using SFC
- Open Command Prompt by entering cmd in the search box next to the Start Menu button.
- Right-click on Command Prompt and then Run as administrator .
- Once the console opens, type sfc /scannow command and press Enter .
- When the recovery process is complete, restart your computer.
Using DISM
- Open Command Prompt as we did in the previous step.
- Copy and paste this command DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth.
- Press Enter and wait for Windows to finish scanning and fixing.
- After that, restart your computer and install the update again.
What to do if there is a failure in the phone system: universal methods
“An error occurred in the com android phone application” - what to do
If the Android operating system displays the error: “The application has failed,” then you need to consistently check and eliminate the most likely causes of the malfunction. There are a number of universal methods for this.
Restarting the device
The simplest and most commonplace method that is used for any error that occurs, including hardware and software. Any ordinary user can do it and often helps to fix many system conflicts that will be resolved after a reboot. To restart, hold down the power button and select “Restart” or “Reboot”.
Clearing application data and cache
Any program creates temporary files and cache data when running. They are needed for the correct operation of its database, optimization of software loading, and so on. Sometimes this garbage begins to conflict with system files or with data from other programs and an error appears when extracting the Android package to launch the software.
To clean, go to “Settings” and find the “All applications” item. Next, select the problematic software from the list and click in the window that appears, alternately “Stop”, “Delete data”, “Clear cache”. After this, no errors should occur.
Reinstalling the application
Often, deleting junk and temporary data does not help launch the application, so they reinstall it. If the software was downloaded from the official Google Play Market, then you need to go into it, perform a sequential removal and re-installation. This usually helps solve a number of system failures.
Solving the notification problem
Cleaning the system from viruses
Viruses are often the cause of any errors and failures on the phone. They are ways not only to steal passwords and track a person’s actions, but also to deny him access to certain programs. Typically, malware blocks entry into antiviruses and scanners so that it cannot be destroyed.
Important! It is recommended to scan the operating system with a good antivirus assistant and remove all threats found.
Factory reset
The most radical way to clear the error is to reset all parameters. They resort to this only in extreme cases. To carry out the procedure, you need to go to “Settings” and find the “Reset and Recovery” item. Here you should select “Reset data” and wait for formatting.
Important! Before resetting, you must save all important documents, files and data from your accounts, since absolutely all user and system information will be permanently deleted from memory.
For owners of licensed OS
You can contact Microsoft technical support and they are obliged to help you, because... this is purely their “sides”. You can call them on weekdays from 8:00 to 20:00, and on Saturday from 10:00 to 19:00 Moscow time, by phone:
- Russia: 8 (800) 200-8001
- Ukraine: 0 (800) 308-800
- Belarus: 8 (820) 0071-0003
You can ask for help at any time using the feedback form.
Owners of pre-installed Windows need to contact the computer or laptop manufacturer, and they will forward the information to Microsoft.
If all else fails, I can sympathize and suggest completely reinstalling Windows 7/8/10. A radical method that comes first for many
