Xamarin Forms - Thread Efficiency - xamarin

Question

I am developing a Xamarin (PCL) cross platform app that i am currently testing on my Android Physical devices and Emulators. The app runs perfectly on the high-end phones, but "crashes unexpectedly" on the Samsung S4 and such low-end phones. It crashes only after i perform multiple activities and tasks.
I am assuming that has something to do with the task-thread-capacity of these phones. If i am right in that regard, how am i supposed to make my app such that it works smoothly and error free on all phones?
Edit - The error says "The app has closed unexpectedly". This error doesn't appear on a specific line because it has nothing to do with the code. It breaks only on certain "older" phones when many activities are performed. Example of activities include, Add data to database, updating/deleting them, moving from one activity to another, showing calendars and pie-charts from user entered data.
Edit 2 -Some of the Code that deals with images:
Xaml:

Answer 1

It turns out that the device memory was getting overflowed by all the multiple images i had in my App. (As suggested by #hvaughan3)
This link has the answer to it.
You basically just have to add these two lines in you Android Manifest (Under Application) -
android:hardwareAccelerated="false"
android:largeHeap="true"
