How do I Free up Memory on My Android Device?
By memory, you might be referring to RAM. The Android operating system works best with a minimal number of installed applications. That’s because some apps like to run in the background, even when you don’t actually use the app. The more apps installed, the more likely it is that some will run wild in the background. The simplest solution is to uninstall all non-essential applications.
We do not suggest using an app killer as this will negatively impact the functionality of some of your apps.

System UI Not Working

Sometimes the System User Interface (UI) can stop working. If restarting your device don’t fix the problem, I suggest wiping the System UI cache. To wipe the cache, go to:

• Settings
• Apps
• Swipe left to “All” and select System UI
• Then wipe the cache and restart the device

 
Downloads Not Working
Sometimes downloads will fail. Android includes a dedicated download manager, and its cache can become corrupted. In this case, just wipe the cache.
To wipe the cache, go to:

• Settings
• Apps
• Swipe right to “All” and select Download Manager
• Then wipe the cache and restart the device

I Can’t Find My Download
Android by default stores its downloaded files in a folder called “Download”. To locate the Download directory, first install a file manager, like ES File Explorer (our review of ES File Explorer). Once installed, go to sdcard/Download and you should see a complete list of downloaded files.

 
I Can’t Play a Downloaded Video
Try using VLC Player or MX Player. They work on almost every file you can imagine. Sometimes videos in a proprietary format won’t play. There’s no real solution for this issue, other than installing the proprietary video player.


I Installed Malware!
Never install a cracked game or app — it probably has malware on it. But if you already have malware, simply uninstall the culprit. If you’re not sure which app is wreaking mayhem on your phone, try a malware scanner. If that fails, use some of our tips on finding Android malware.
Out of the three malware scanners we’ve reviewed, my favorite is Lookout. It’s free, lightweight, and catches a large number of malicious applications.

Internet Not Working
The biggest cause of mobile Internet not working: Improperly configured APN settings. If you use a prepaid/MVNO to provide Internet, chances are you needed to set up an APN to get mobile data. If these settings aren’t properly configured, you must manually set them.
I’ve written an article on APN settings for Android.


Can’t Connect to WiFi Network
Chances are, it’s your router that’s at fault. Someone could write a book on the number of problems that WiFi networks cause users — the best solution oftentimes is to restart both your router and your phone.

How Do I Break an Android Password?
If you’ve set a password and forgotten it, you’re going to have to perform a factory reset from the bootloader. The bootloader is a preboot environment that allows the restoration of your operating system. There are ways to break Android passwords, but don’t count on it.
First, you’ll need to enter the bootloader. The method varies between models of phone. For most models, you can access the bootloader by completely powering down the device. After powering off, you will hold volume down + the power button until the phone boots. Once inside of the bootloader, you can then choose to factory reset your device.
