Applications that close suddenly make users feel confused and confused. When it’s exciting – the excitement of multitasking on the screen is like playing games, opening social media, chatting, or whatever it is suddenly the application freezes and closes on its own.
Very sad isn’t it …
… and usually, every Android device has a different error message, maybe because RAM is full, a pop up appears ” unfortunately, the application has stopped “, “unfortunately, the app has stopped“, “unfortunately force close, not enough memory“, not responding “, “unfortunately, com.android.process has stopped“, or something else.
Here you see some of the causes of the force close application suddenly.
1. Full Android RAM
A small RAM capacity can certainly be the cause of frequent application errors, jams, and also force close . The number of applications running in the background makes RAM unable to accommodate all existing applications.
Like for example, RAM above 1 GB or 512 MB runs more than 5 applications, and all of them are social media applications so you can be sure of traffic jams or lags.
2. Overload Cache Files
Cached files or junk files that accumulate too much can make the internal memory excess capacity. And this has an impact on all Android applications, especially on applications that are often opened and used.
Piles of cache files must be deleted regularly, at least once a week to keep the memory condition relieved and fresh.
3. Damage Happened to the Application
Damaged applications or errors will often occur force close. Even though the application data has been cleared, declare the application still has problems and cannot be used. This is often experienced by Android users.
The solution is to delete and replace it with a new one.
