Hello! It sounds like you're experiencing an issue where the Columbia News from WLTX News19 app on your Android 10 device keeps crashing or returning to the home screen. I’d be happy to help get this sorted out.
To start, could you confirm a couple of things for me? - When exactly does the app go back to the home screen? For example, is it right after opening, when loading an article, or during video playback? - Have you tried restarting your phone or reinstalling the app yet?
In the meantime, here is a step-by-step guide that can often resolve such app crashing issues on Android devices:
1. Clear the App Cache and Data: - Go to Settings > Apps & notifications > find WLTX News19 app > Storage. - Tap Clear Cache first, then test the app. If issue remains, tap Clear Data (note: this may reset app preferences).
2. Check for App Updates: - Open Google Play Store > search for the app > see if an Update button is available and install it.
3. Restart Your Phone: - A simple restart can refresh device resources and clear temporary glitches.
4. Check Internet Connection: - Check if your device has a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data). Unstable connections can sometimes cause app crashes.
5. Uninstall and Reinstall the App: - If none of the above works, uninstall the WLTX News19 app and reinstall it fresh from the Play Store.
Since you are on Android 10 with a WebKit-based browser environment, if you’re also experiencing this via web access, clearing the browser cache could help as well.
If the problem persists after trying these, please let me know the specific point at which it crashes or returns to home screen, and any error messages you might see. That can help me provide more precise guidance.
Are you able to try these initial steps and let me know how it goes?
