The below methods are for resolving issues with Apex Legends Mobile freezing and not working on an android device. Hopefully, one of them will get the game working again for you so you can try and get that lovely Battle Royale win on your handheld device!
Fix 1: Restart your Android device
When was the last time you restarted your Android phone or tablet? If it has been a long time then give the device a restart as this can help resolve many issues.
Fix 2: Update android
Ensuring your android device is up to date and running the latest OS is important. And can help resolve issues with Apex Mobile not working as well as other issues:
- On your Android open Settings
- Select Software update
- Now select Download and install
- Your device will check if you are using the latest version. If a new version is available you will be given the option to install it
Fix 3: Update all apps in the Play Store
If you have apps with pending updates in the Google Play Store then this could be the root of the issue. It’s also important to ensure there is not an update pending for Apex Mobile in the Play Store:
- Open the Play Store and once opened select your Profile icon
- Now open Manage apps and device
- Select Updates available and select Update all
Fix 4: Close Down all background apps
If you have lots of apps running in the background like a web browser, social media, gallery, music player, etc, then these will be using resources that Apex legends Mobile needs to run. And also could conflict with the game causing it to crash and not launch.
Fix 5: Turn off the battery saver & fully charge
If you have your Android device in battery saver mode then you are restricting its power and performance, and this could cause problems. Also, if you are running low on battery recharge your device as having a low battery can make Apex Legends Mobile freeze and lag:
- Expand the Quick Settings menu by pulling it down from the top of your Android display
- Ensure the Battery icon is not highlighted in the menu and is greyed out (if you can’t see the icons ensure that you have pulled it fully down)
- Check the percentage of your battery in the top right-hand corner
Fix 6: Use WiFi connection and not mobile data
If you are using a mobile connection then this could cause stability issues making the game crash or freeze. If you are able to use a WIFI connection and sit as close as you can to the Wifi point then this could really help:
- To make sure you are using Wi-Fi pull down from the top of your device to access the Quick Settings menu (if you can’t see the icons ensure that you have pulled fully down)
- Ensure the Wifi icon is highlighted
- Make sure that the Mobile Data icon is greyed out (icon with up and down arrows)
Fix 7: Turn off flight mode
Flight mode will stop your internet connection and this will then cause issues with Apex Legends Mobile and give you connection and sign-in errors like 154140714. It is very easy to enable this accidentally:
- Pull down fully from the top of your device to access the Quick Settings menu
- Make sure that the Airplane icon is greyed out
Fix 8: Clear Apex Legends Mobile cache
Clearing the cache for the game can help fix crashing and freezing issues:
- Go to your device Settings > Then Apps
- Select Apex Legends > Select Storage
- Select the option Clear Cache
Fix 9: Clear Apex Legends Mobile Data
Try clearing the data in case one of the files has become corrupted which can cause Apex Legends Mobile crashing on startup and mid game. Just be aware that this will remove your settings and accounts for the game:
- Go to your device Settings > Then Apps
- Select Apex Legends > Select Storage
- Select the option for Clear Data (this will remove your settings and accounts for the game)
Fix 9: Reinstall the game
If one of Apex Legends Mobile game files has become corrupted or missing for some reason then this will be the reason why you are not able to play the game. So try reinstalling the game to your android device in case this is the reason you are having issues:
- Go to Settings > Apps
- Select Apex Legends and then click on Uninstall
Fix 9: Recent game update
If Apex Legends Mobile has recently had an update and the game was working before on your Android device, then the issue you are most likely having is due to the update. And you will need to wait for another update to be released to fix the issue you are having:
- As above, check for any patches or updates in the Google Play Store
I hope the above methods have helped fix Apex legends Mobile keeps Crashing, freezing, or not launching on your android tablet or phone, and you are now able to enjoy this battle royale game on your phone while on the move.
Like I said above, I have certainly been enjoying the time I have so far spent in Apex Legends Mobile and can’t wait to see what the future brings to the game! If you enjoyed this guide and found it helpful then I am sure you would like our other gaming guides.
