Troubleshooting
Tablet is slow or apps are crashing.
Try restarting the tablet. If the issue persists, clear the cache for individual apps in `Settings` > `Apps & Games` > `Manage All Applications` > [App Name] > `Force Stop` then `Clear Cache`. Ensure you have enough free storage by moving files to an SD card or deleting unused apps.
Battery drains too quickly.
Adjust screen brightness to a lower setting, close background apps, turn off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth when not in use, and check `Settings` > `Device Options` > `Battery` to identify apps consuming the most power. Ensure your tablet is running the latest software update.
Wi-Fi connection issues (cannot connect or slow speed).
Restart your Wi-Fi router and modem. On your tablet, forget the network (`Settings` > `Wireless` > `Wi-Fi` > [Your Network] > `Forget`) and then reconnect. Ensure your tablet is within range of the router. Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network to rule out a tablet specific issue.
Alexa is not responding or activating.
Ensure your tablet is connected to Wi-Fi. Check if `Hands-Free Alexa` is enabled in `Settings` > `Alexa`. Restart your tablet. Speak clearly and make sure there isn't excessive background noise.
Not enough storage for new apps or content.
Insert a compatible microSD card (up to 512 GB) and configure it to store apps and media. Delete unused apps or games and clear application caches. Transfer photos and videos to cloud storage or a computer.
