Troubleshooting Apps

In a perfect world, apps would never misbehave. Unfortunately, it’s not a perfect world. So an app may quit the moment you launch it, or cause your Droid 2 to restart, or do any number of odd things. If that happens, try these steps:

  • Launch the app again. There’s no particular reason why this should work, but it often does. When you launch the app again, it just may work properly.

  • Uninstall and reinstall. There may have been an oddball installation problem. So uninstall the app and then reinstall it. That sometimes fixes the problem.

  • Restart your Droid X. Just as restarting a computer sometimes fixes problems for no known reason, restarting the Droid X may have the same effect. Power it down by pressing and holding the Power/Lock key, and then press and hold the Power/Lock key again to restart.

  • Reset the Droid X. If an app causes the Droid X to stop responding, you’ll have to reset the phone. See Resetting the Droid X for details.

If none of this works, it’s time to uninstall the app. Don’t fret; there are plenty more where it came from.
