One app crashing is usually that app. Everything crashing points to storage, RAM, or a bad update.
Work the steps in order. Most “dead phone” stories in Ghana start with a skipped backup or a roadside flash.
Fix One App
- Update it in Play Store
- Force stop → Clear cache
- Reboot
- Clear storage/data (logs you out)
- Uninstall → reinstall
Fix Many Apps
| Cause | Action |

If nothing works
Do not factory-reset first. Back the phone or PC up and write down the Google or Microsoft account. Hardware faults (charge port, digitizer, keyboard) belong in an authorised shop. Roadside “IMEI repair” and random flashing usually make the device worse.
Do this in order
Start with Update it in Play Store, then Force stop → Clear cache. Skipping ahead to a factory reset wipes WhatsApp, photos, and school files you cannot get back from a Kantamanto stall.
If only one app misbehaves, stay inside that app’s settings. If many apps fail after a cheap charger, heat, or a “cleaner” APK, treat it as a system problem. Back up first. Authorised service beats roadside flashing.
If you only remember three things from this page, make them Update it in Play Store, Force stop → Clear cache, and Reboot. Write them on your phone before you factory-reset.
Extra checks
Will a “phone doctor” kiosk fix it faster?
Sometimes for a charge port. Often they flash unofficial software and you lose the Google account. Try Update it in Play Store first. Back up before anyone wipes the device.
Safe to install a random APK that “repairs” this?
No. If Play Store cannot install it, that is a signal. Sideload only when you trust the file, and never from a WhatsApp blast.
