12 Biggest Android Problems and their Instant Solutions


Android phones are usually void of problems and provide their users excellent performance. But sometimes they do create problems for their users. Given below is a list of some of the prime problems along with their instant solutions.

1) How to stop your android phone from using data while abroad

A good idea would be to install a third party app called APNdroid, which turns off all data connections with the help of a widget on the main screen. These settings are changed much faster this way than by using the standard android settings thus acting as a reminder for your next journey abroad.

2) How to fix your frozen Android

In this case the soft reset button serves the purpose but sometimes it fails to do so. In that case, you can install an app called Fast Reboot which will do the job smoothly by terminating all the running apps in your android.

3) If your Wi-Fi doesn’t stay connected

If this happens, you have to change your sleep policy to “never” in the advanced menu present in your phone. That should solve the problem immediately.

4) Depleting memory

If you keep running out of memory way too often then you will have to install an app called “ Cache Cleaner” available in the Android Market which will enable you to clear out all the cache for some of the apps in order to increase free memory. Un-installation of apps is also necessary in order to free more memory.

5) Poor Game play

Some android systems can include slow processors which reduce game play efficiency quite drastically. Updating the graphics speed would be a sensible thing to do for this problem in order to enhance speed.

6) Keyboard is difficult to use

The default keyboard provided by android is not easy to use at all. An alternative to this could be Slide It which will enable you to type constantly without removing your finger from the surface of the screen. The process is quite smooth as well.

7) SD card is no more recognized

Most of the times memory expansion cards get corrupted and the solution which works best is reformatting the card using a laptop or a desktop pc. During the process the standard file explorer should work better. Using the format button can revive your android SD card once again.

8 ) Long time for password intake

To settle this problem, you have to go to settings, then security and then set up screen lock. Over there you will be given a choice to enter a pattern which is much swifter and safer than a password.

9) Non-accurate touch screen

Calibration of the screen is allowed by very few android phones so in case you are having problems with touch screen accuracy then you will need to use the soft reset, hard reset and the support call in succession in order to bring your touch screen back to life again.

10) Automatic Restarts & applications crash

It is very common yet annoying problem , due to some apps android phone doesn’t work well and start often restarts and crashing. The following are the possible causes that creates these reboots and crashes
Cause I. Applications that are not optimized are main reason behind restarts and crashes, and these bad apps make our phone unstable. The solution is to identify the application that causes these reboots, Unfortunately there is no application that can identify bad applications. All we can do is to monitor applications that we recently installed and remove them Or update them to latest version , sometime old apps can also cause these problems
Cause II. Another possible cause is the microSD card you use. In some cases the cause of these reboots may be just the microSD that you are using . The solution is to try to remove it and see if phone works properly.
Cause III. Third and last reason can be some apps that you moved to the SD card and moving back to the phone memory would be best since Android was born to keep the app optimized on the phone memory.

11) Unable to buy apps from android market

If you aren’t in the Android Market supported countries , it is really a big problem but we have some other app market places that might work in your region. Such as Handango and AndroidPIT. Amazon app store is also a great option for those facing payment method problem in USA
You can see Google’s official site for more info about which countries the Android Market supports

12) Unable to download or upgrade apps from Android Market

Got this message “Download was unsuccessful please try again”. Tried all things to fix this but still no luck ? Unfortunately it happens some time , solution for this problem is very simple -
Go to Settings >> Applications >> Manage Applications , Choose android market app then select “Uninstall Updates” After that try again i am sure it will work

Hopefully the above solutions will aid you enough to overcome all the primary adversities you face with your android. All the solutions given above are latest and cutting edge
