Troubleshooting a Galaxy A50 with ‘Internet keeps stopping’ error
Internet is a pre-installed application and while a problem like this may be just an issue with the app, there’s always a possibility that it’s a sign of a serious firmware issue. We will look into that and with that being said, here’s what you should do:
First solution: Perform the Forced Restart
Before anything else, take a little time doing the forced restart because this error can be just due to a minor glitch in the firmware. Glitches and other minor problems can be fixed by this procedure. Here’s how you do it:
- Press and hold the Volume Down button and don’t release it yet.
- While holding down the volume button, press and hold the Power key as well.
- Keep both keys held down together for 15 seconds or until the Galaxy A50 logo shows on the screen.
Once your phone has successfully rebooted, launch the app and see if the ‘Internet keeps stopping’ error still shows up. If it does, move on to the next solution.

Second solution: Clear the cache and data of Internet app
Clearing the cache and data of the app will reset it. If this is just an issue with the app, then this procedure will surely fix it. However, you may lose some of your data like browsing history and bookmarks. But if you were able to synced your phone with your account, those data may have already been saved in the cloud and you may still be able to retrieve them after this. Here’s how you do the app reset:
- Swipe down from the top of the screen to pull the notification panel down.
- Tap the Settings icon on the upper-right corner.
- Scroll to and then tap Apps.
- Find and tap Internet.
- Tap Storage.
- Touch Clear cache.
- Touch Clear data and then tap OK to confirm.
Once you’re done doing this, try to launch the app and see if the ‘Internet keeps stopping’ error still shows up.

- Swipe down from the top of the screen to pull the notification panel down.
- Tap the Settings icon on the upper-right corner.
- Scroll to and tap General management.
- Touch Reset.
- Tap Reset settings.
- Tap the Reset settings button.
- If prompted, enter your PIN, Password or Pattern.

After resetting the settings and the app still crashes when opened, then it’s time to troubleshoot the firmware.

- Press and hold the Volume Up and Power keys.
