What would you say if your phone’s apps suddenly stopped working?
I just started experiencing this yesterday. It is frustrating. If an app does open and load, it won’t let me touch anything and it crashes.

What can you do to fix the bug?
As I was afraid, this solution works for a few hours, but the freezes come back.

Of course, the users who’ve been experiencing random app crashes and freezes have tried to find various solutions and workarounds, all of which are either (more than) a little extreme or not particularly effective.
One trick that’s worked for a few people involves uninstalling the latest Google Play services and Google Play Store updates after installing the main Android October update. But that can create a world of other hassles and inconveniences for you, as it will sign you out of your Google account and make certain apps malfunction, not to mention that some users are saying this “fix” only works for a few hours before apps inevitably start freezing and crashing all over again.
When will Google deal with this fiasco?
Let’s not mince words here, this is a catastrophic issue that should never happen on a new mobile device costing north of $200, let alone one priced at $800, $1,000, or more.
