ReplyClear cache & data worked for me(Samsung Galaxy A3 SM-A300FU)
Replylast one worked for mine
ReplyHad this fault only with apps moved to SD-Card. Methods 1 and 3 did not help. By chance I deinstalled CleanMaster app (for some other reason) and at once everything was O.K. again without any further action. In my case CleanMaster should have been responsible.
ReplyHad been searching for a solution for this issue since quite a few weeks. I'm so glad that method of "unmounting the SD card" worked well for me, at least for some apps that was on my phone. Hadn't got enough time to update all of them but certainly will check for updating the rest of them soon... A million thanks, guys.....
