Troubleshooting Apps
In a perfect world, apps would never misbehave. Unfortunately, it’s not a perfect world. An app may quit the moment you launch it, or cause your Galaxy Tab 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 action sometimes fixes the problem.
Restart the Galaxy Tab. Just as restarting a computer sometimes fixes problems for no known reason, restarting the Tab 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 Galaxy Tab. If an app causes the Tab to stop responding, then you have to reset the tablet. See Resetting Your Galaxy Tab for details.
If none of this works, then it’s time to uninstall the app. Don’t fret; there are plenty more where it came from.
