Here we cover:
What happens if the App installation size is larger than expected?
Most Premium games will require more space and take longer to download and install than other apps lacking similarly advanced graphic and gameplay features. Make sure you have enough room, delete the cache on your other apps, move pics and videos to a Cloud service or purchase another microSD card if your device allows it. There is more than one way to save storage space.
The app failed to install directly to SD card! What to do?
If for any reason an app fails to install directly to the mounted SD card, it can still be moved from the device's internal storage to the SD card.
To do this on your Android device, select Menu from your home screen
Exiting or Closing an App
To exit or close most Android apps, select the Back or Home button. The Android OS manages its memory. Apps running or idling in the background will close if or when more memory or resources are required.
Clearing an App's Cache
Errors and other technical issues can often be improved by clearing an app's cache:
On your Android device, from the Home screen select Menu.
Select Settings from the Menu; navigate to and select Applications.
Select Manage applications; navigate to and select the app in question.
Tap on Clear Cache.
