The following troubleshooting steps can fix the T mobile app error on your smartphone.

Change device

Sometimes, a smartphone operating system can trigger the “Unfortunately, T-Mobile has stopped” error. This error is more common on Android devices. Therefore, we recommend that if you have an iPhone on hand, try downloading the T mobile on it and check if that fixes the error.

Easy mode

The easy mode in Android phones allows the users to choose specific apps to show on their home screen in the form of huge icons. However, the T mobile app doesn’t seem to work appropriately when you turn on Easy mode on your smartphone.

Therefore, you can try turning off the Easy mode option on your Android phone and then use the app. Hopefully, this time you won’t see the error on the T mobile app.

Disable background data usage

Some T mobile users suffer from app-stopping issues because the background data usage is enabled on their smartphones. Background data usage allows the apps on your phone to search for new information even if they are not active on the screen.

Although background data usage settings keep you from waiting for new information, it can degrade the performance of your smartphone in terms of battery life and data usage, hence leading to the error message. To turn off background data settings on your Android phone:

  • Head to the Settings menu on your Android phone
  • In Settings, tap on SIM card & mobile data
  • Next, tap on Data usage and then select the Mobile data usage option
  • Locate the T mobile app and tap on it
  • Toggle to turn off the Background data settings
  • Now head back to Data usage and tap on WIFI data usage
  • Again select the T mobile app and turn off the Background data settings

To do this on an iPhone:

  • Navigate to your iPhone Settings and tap on the General menu
  • Next, tap on background app refresh
  • Now you can turn off background app refresh completely by toggling it off or you can individually turn off Wifi or Wifi & Celluar Data options

Clear T mobile app cache

T mobile app collects small bits of information in its cache to speed up performance. However, these cached files can become overloaded or corrupted over time and cause various app-related issues. To fix this, you need to clear the app cache on your cell phone in the following way.

  • Go to Android phone Settings –> App management –> App list
  • Scroll to locate the T mobile app and tap on it
  • Now navigate to Storage usage and tap on Clear data and Clear cache

On an iPhone, you can clear the T mobile app cache by navigating to Settings –> General –> Storage. Afterward, tap on the T mobile app and then tap the “Offload App” option.

To do this on an Android phone, navigate to the Apps Manager and tap on the T mobile app. Under App info, tap on Force close. To do this on an iPhone, launch the app switcher and swipe up the T mobile app to force close it. Next, open the T mobile app again and verify that the error is fixed.
