Maintain Your Android Phone(1)-Clear the Cache

Have an app that’s always crashing? Rather than force-closing or uninstalling it, try clearing its cache. This simple step will help resolve most of the issues that troublesome apps may be experiencing–and it won’t create new problems, as forcing the app to shut down might. To clear an application’s cache, open the Settings menu on your phone and click Applications. Then select Manage Applications and tap the app that’s been having problems. Don’t worry–all of your data and settings will remain intact; you’re just getting rid of temporary files that may be causing difficulties.
