We know about the errors that occur because of com.android.settings. So, let us discuss about the ways to solve it and what causes it? There are many reasons for this problem to arise. It depends upon the user to sort the solution according to the problem they are facing. 

Bugs in firmware

When any android user root their device or try and use a custom ROM, it can cause an error in the android setting. To understand this step, you must have knowledge about ROM. If you do not know about it, you can skip this step.

There are many custom ROM present on the internet, but any user should use a compatible ROM. A pro tip is that he/she should avoid using the beta version. A stable version of any ROM should always be selected. Otherwise, you can experience bugs or errors. So, if you have used a custom ROM, then you know what is causing errors. 

incompatible play store

The play store can be unsuited when you try to download it or update it from any third-party source. This will surely create a fuss and cause errors as the update which the user just performed was not compatible with the android operating system. We will not discuss the issues in detail, but when you download anything, and a little later, you realize that it is not congruent, then you might have to face a lot of errors. 

cache memory 

The term memory must have come to your knowledge once in a blue moon while using the smartphone either to store images and videos or to download games. Memory is basically of two types, volatile and non-volatile. Non-volatile memory is the storage capacity or internal memory. On the other hand, volatile memory is your random-access memory. 

Cache data is the temporary storage used for storing data that is used very often. Cache memory is very fast, thus saving a lot of loading time instead of waiting for any particular application to start again. When you open too many applications at the same time, then RAM is consumed, which causes the slow working of the mobile or the stopping of applications unexpectedly.

Incompatible Update

It is possible that any third-party update can create a bug, and the android settings might shut down automatically. Generally, any error in the android market or the play store causes the error to rise. This is mostly because the operating system of your android device is not up to date. 

file error

Crashing of files is not very common nowadays, but sometimes files are downloaded incompletely. This can cause an error for the device’s Android settings. There are a lot of files on any OS, and each of them has certain instructions. If any one of the files is crashed, an error can be created.
