Hello. Thank you for your feedback. Please be sure to check for app updates in Google Play Store to make sure that the apps are the latest. Also, if the available memory is low, you may want to remove unused installed app and/or move pictures or document files to a memory card or your computer. This will allow more memory for the tablet's performance. Hope this helps. - Kevin.Service good tablet not so good

Hello. Thank you for your feedback. By default, your display will turn off when there is no activity for a certain period to save power. You can adjust your display to stay on for a longer period or never to turn off. Simply go to Settings > Display > Sleep > and then adjust the duration period before the display goes to sleep. Hope this helps. - Kevin.Sucks
