Often our dear readers commented on Android Head on specific application problems which have used: no longer allowed to do such a thing, which is slow, you can not open a menu, an option no longer works. Quote one by one the drawbacks that has taken every reader with a specific application would be to never end ...
It is difficult to determine why an Android application begins to fail after installation or after a period of use. It all depends on how well the application is developed, on your settings, what has been done in the mobile above, etc.
Whatever the reason your favorite application is failing lately and no longer function as before, here I offer you some advice, tips or basic recommendations should be implemented to fix it, whatever the application. Is not guaranteed to always solve the problem as described but could dare to say it is quite likely true in my experience.
Warning: these tips are aimed at entry-level users. If you are an advanced user you probably only need to take a look at each subtitle to see if you find something that is new to you.
Restart the mobile
Restart or turn off and turn back the mobile is the first thing you should do to fix a faulty app on Android. It is simple but powerful. It seems obvious but many people forget to do this before anything else. This is a law to follow for computer when troubleshooting. So it is in this case.
fix application device options
Force Stop, Clear cache and Clear data
This is the next thing you should try to fix when an Android application that fails. These options are available within each application installed on Android. Where are they? Depends on mobile. In this case put as an example the Samsung Galaxy S3.

It should go to Android Settings, choose Application manager, select the application you want to fix and will appear three options, defined as follows:
Force stop: this forces stop functioning if the application is active. It is useful when an application does nothing when you click on certain option or when not answer definitively. Should be used when working in an application and suddenly stops working. Caution: When using this option it is possible that changes made to the application not be saved (progress in a game, for example) so you have to consider before using it.
Clear cache: Android gives each application a small portion of memory called "cache", there to store some data to use frequently. These data are used for the application to run faster in short. An example of such data could be the thumbnails that appear when the application for Android Gallery. You can try to clear the cache memory particular application to see if the problem you have with it is arranged (not all applications store data in the cache, worth clarifying). Use the following option otherwise, which includes deleting cache.
Clear Data: This option is used for formatting, reset or restart an application; in other words, leave it as new: as it was right after install. Clears all settings or configurations that you've done on it and delete all data you have stored (the progress you have in a game, for example). Of the three mentioned, this is the most effective option to arrange an Android application that is failing. Again, this feature will lose all data on the application: Keep that in mind before performing this procedure.
Reinstall
If you have a PC with Windows probably know that when a program fails, one of the first solution is to uninstall the program and reinstall it. Well, the same applies here: if an application is failing and you did not find this, try uninstalling the app and reinstalling.
Update
Sometimes the problem is not you or your phone is simply a problem of implementation. To correct the problems or errors that occur in applications, developers consistently offer patches or updates to fix them. Although your Android applications installed from Google Play should automatically updated, this is not always the case: sometimes will require your permission to upgrade, something that will alert you by way of notification. If the application with errors or failures are asking permission to upgrade, give free rein to see if the problem is solved.

You can always check which applications are pending updates, opening the Play Store app and choosing the My applications.
Install an earlier version of the application
In the Settings application fails or is a problem, seeking a section on the application version (could be within a menu that says something like "About"). Check which version you have. If all this has not helped you, try installing a different version of the application that is earlier than you have. What you should do is find the APK of that earlier version of the application and install it. This is a bit risky as an APK file can contain viruses. I advise you to do it only if you know that the APK is safe and has earned a trusted website on the internet.
Uninstall updates
In the "Application Info" located in Settings (Android)> Application Manager> "Application Name" you may find a button to uninstall ALL of that application installed updates.

You can also use this button to return to a previous version of the application (the factory version of the application).
Bonus: Installing a Beta application
In Google Play there are applications that have next to their name as follows: (Beta). Beta That means that the application is not yet finished: means it is a trial version, published in Google Play just for users to test and provide information on possible faults and errors that can have.

As it is not a version with all the errors and corrected errors, you should expect that the application does not work as it should if you install.
Well. There they are. Five tips or tips for you to solve the problems that come from using an application on your mobile, which for some time now has begun presenting strange things during use.
