I’ve compiled this troubleshooting guide from my personal experience and user feedback. If you’re facing any issues with the Game Space APK, this page has you covered.
Common Issues with Game Space APK and How to Fix Them
1. Game Space APK Won’t Install
Cause:
This usually happens if your phone’s settings block installations from unknown sources or if the APK file is corrupted.
Solution:
- Enable Unknown Sources:
- Go to Settings > Security > Install Unknown Apps and allow your browser or file manager to install APKs.
- Verify the APK File:
- Use the SHA-256 checksum to ensure the APK isn’t corrupted.
- Free Up Storage:
- Make sure your device has at least 50 MB of free space.

2. Game Space Crashes After Launch
Cause:
This often happens when the app isn’t optimized for your device or lacks necessary permissions.
Solution:
- Grant Permissions:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Game Space > Permissions and ensure it has access to storage, network, and other essential features.
- Clear Cache:
- Navigate to Settings > Apps > Game Space > Storage > Clear Cache.
- Reinstall the App:
- Uninstall Game Space, download the latest version, and reinstall it.
3. Features Like FPS Boost or Network Optimization Aren’t Working
Cause:
Some devices may have restricted background app activities.
Solution:
- Disable Battery Optimization:
- Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Optimization, find Game Space, and select Don’t Optimize.
- Check for Updates:
- Download the latest APK version from the Updates page to ensure compatibility.
4. High Battery Drain During Gaming
Cause:
While Game Space optimizes your device, high-performance settings can sometimes lead to battery drain.
Solution:
- Enable Power Saving Mode:
- Inside Game Space, choose the Balanced Mode or create a custom profile with reduced performance settings.
- Monitor Temperature:
- Avoid gaming while charging, as it can cause overheating and faster drain.
| Issue | How I Fixed It (First-Person Perspective) | Why This Works (Insights) |
|---|---|---|
| App Crashing on Launch | I noticed the app was crashing even after clearing cache. So, I used split APK installer (SAI) to re-install the APK properly. Sometimes APKs require all split files to be present for a proper install. | Split APKs often miss dependencies. Tools like SAI ensure every part of the APK is installed, avoiding crashes. |
| Game Space Not Detecting Installed Games | I realized the app wasn’t scanning my device properly. I toggled USB Debugging Mode on and off from Developer Options. After restarting, it detected my games. | USB Debugging refreshes how the app communicates with the device, resetting hidden permissions related to game scanning. |
| Game Space Freezing Randomly | I noticed the app froze only when my phone was connected to Bluetooth. Disabling Bluetooth AVRCP version settings in Developer Options fixed it instantly. | Certain Bluetooth profiles interfere with high-priority background tasks of apps like Game Space. |
| Features Missing or Not Loading | I installed the APK using ADB commands instead of downloading it directly. Running adb install -r -d ensured a clean installation and resolved all feature issues. | ADB installs bypass system-level restrictions and overwrite faulty app data or permissions. |
| Game Boost Not Functioning | I accessed my background app management settings and disabled restrictions for Game Space. Additionally, I enabled the “Run in Background” toggle under Battery settings. | Restrictive battery settings can kill Game Space processes. Allowing unrestricted access ensures smoother functionality. |
| Game Space Not Opening | After checking logcat (via Logcat Reader app), I noticed a missing system dependency. I downloaded the necessary library APK (like arm64-v8a) and manually installed it. | Logcat provides detailed logs about app failures. Missing libraries often cause crashes, and manual installation resolves this. |
| App Permissions Reset After Update | I discovered that after each update, Android’s auto-reset permissions feature was causing issues. I disabled “Remove permissions if app is unused” in the app settings. | This feature resets permissions for unused apps, but disabling it ensures the app retains necessary access. |
| UI Not Scaling Properly | I changed my device’s DPI settings through Developer Options. Setting it to a recommended value (320 DPI in my case) made the interface work perfectly. | Incorrect DPI scaling causes UI elements to misalign. Resetting to defaults fixes this quickly. |
| APK Installation Failing | The APK refused to install until I used the App Manager Pro app to uninstall every previous trace of Game Space, including residual app data folders. | Residual app data often blocks re-installation or causes conflicts. Full removal clears these conflicts. |
| Lag During Gameplay | I turned off Wi-Fi scanning and Bluetooth scanning under Location settings. This freed up system resources and improved performance immediately. | Continuous scanning consumes CPU resources, leading to lag in resource-intensive apps like Game Space. |
| App Showing Outdated Interface | I enabled Force Activities to Be Resizable in Developer Options and then restarted the app. The UI was refreshed and updated instantly. | Some outdated interfaces don’t adapt well to screen changes. Forcing resizable activities triggers a UI update. |
