Update Android System WebView
If you are faced with the fact that many applications have started to crash, then this may be due to an update to the Android System WebView system component. Most likely the problem has already been fixed, but you need to update Android System WebView and Google Chrome for reliability.
What Android System WebView is and why it is needed can be read in this article.
To do this, open Play Store from the list of applications. The application icon looks like this:
Open the side curtain and select My apps & games .
The list of updates will most likely already include Android System WebView and Google Chrome. We update them.
If there are no applications on the Updates , then find them on the Installed , open and update from there.
If there are no updates for the applications (this can also happen), then we simply delete both applications. Android System WebView and Google Chrome. By clicking delete, we agree that the system application cannot be deleted. The system application will not be deleted, but all updates to it will be deleted. This way, the application will be reset to factory settings and that's what you need. After these procedures, we check the functionality of the application.
If this does not help, then try the options below.

- Turn off your phone completely;
- Now press and hold three keys (Power - Volume Up - Home);

- After clearing the cache, select “Reboot phone” to reboot your phone, this will help in the question “com.android.phone process has stopped what to do”.
Fix the registry
Application error 0xc0000005 can be caused by corruption in the operating system registry. These corruptions usually occur when certain programs are installed or uninstalled incorrectly.
One example of an incorrect installation is an attempt to install a program over the same version of a previously installed program without first removing the old one. To resolve this issue, you must remove (or fix) redundant and duplicate registry entries. We recommend that you try to fix registry entries using CCleaner software.
CCleaner is a small, powerful utility for computers running Microsoft Windows. The program cleans up unnecessary problems that have accumulated over time: temporary files, broken shortcuts and other problems. Protects your privacy by clearing your browsing history and temporary internet files, allowing you to be a more confident internet user and less susceptible to identity theft.
CCleaner can clean residual files from various programs, thereby saving hard drive space by removing unnecessary entries in the Windows registry. You can download the program from the link https://www.ccleaner.com/ru-ru/ccleaner (copy and paste into the new address bar of your browser).
As stated above, antivirus programs may be the cause of the problem. You can turn them off for a while. The problem may also be with the drivers installed on the system. If you have recently installed any driver, pay attention to this. It might make sense to remove it for a while and check if the problem remains.
Why does the error “an error has occurred in the application” appear?
The error “an error has occurred in the application” often crashes, oddly enough, because the application has crashed. Failure occurs for various reasons, but in 99% of cases it is the fault of the programmer, not the user. Now I will explain why. Before I start scolding programmers, I will say that I will also write all this bullshit about cleaning and rebooting.
Programmer's fault
Why is a bug in an application the fault of the programmer? Because this asshole didn't treat her. The task of any fucker who writes an Android application is to protect the user from such crap. If the user constantly sees “an error has occurred in the application,” then the user will have a negative impression of the program, which means he will get a lot of money from Google Play.
This crap is taught in the first programming classes in any language and for any architecture. Phone, computer, iron, fuck. The task of the programmer and the testing department (if there is one) is to handle all non-standard situations in which the application crashes. The user should not see the error message because the situation in which it occurs is unusual and must be handled.
Example. Let's say the application does not have enough space on the phone to record its data. So, when trying to write to memory, it should not crash, but should immediately check for free space, and then tell the user that he is a fucking idiot and, of course, not write anything anywhere. Such situations must be tested. Then why aren't they tested?
Application Bugs
1. Because the testing department or the programmer himself screwed up. It is impossible to foresee all situations. You can't know everything the user does. You want to collect data from it, which is why the error occurred, but users usually disable all this in the settings. So the programmer sits and begs the user to tell him what he was doing when the crash occurred.
2. Because the program was written by an 8th grader on his knees. A very common situation. The program was written to fuck off, no one there has ever tested anything and never will. Does it crash with an error? Restart or, well, excuse me, it means you’re not in luck.
3. An error occurred in the application because the fucking user has malware all over his phone. This is also a common situation. In it, the user himself installed all sorts of crap on his phone and it shows ads everywhere, crashes non-stop, and writes something on the screen. The user himself does not know what is happening and is looking for the culprit. And the fucker is sitting at this time 30 centimeters from the phone.
4. The error occurs due to a virus or malware application. The user installed a virus application, but no one ever thinks about error handling. Fuck it. Install an antivirus and scan your phone for viruses.
Error 0xc0000005 due to faulty RAM
Sometimes the problem occurs due to problems with the RAM. You can try to remove the memory sticks so that only one remains, or change them one by one and check. But this should only be done if you have skills in assembling and disassembling computer components.
This article describes several ways to fix error 0xc0000005. If you know other working methods to remove this problem, please write a method in the comments. Perhaps your method will help others. All the best!
Error: Insufficient memory
If you have such a problem, then you need to start partially deleting unnecessary files. This error can occur even if you do not have a large number of files (photos, videos, music). Most likely, garbage and residual files after deleting applications remain on your device and take up a large amount of memory. In this case, you need to download Clean Master, a program that is very easy to use and completely in Russian.
Pay attention to where the downloaded files are saved, correctly if they are saved not to the phone, but to the SD card.
Also, the problem of insufficient memory can cause glitches and slowdowns on an Android device. This often becomes noticeable when, when launching an application, you wait about 7-10 seconds for it to open, although previously it opened in 3 seconds, so this defect is called a long response and is caused by a lack of memory. The solution in this case is the same: you need to install Clean Master on your device to clear it of debris and also clear the application cache. These simple and quick steps will help revive your phone.
