I am hoping someone may know why I am having the following problem and perhaps be able to recomend a way to fix it.
We have an A500 tablet that has worked well for a couple years. This past summer, I was able to succesfully instal the 4.0 operating system upgrade and all was working fine. So whatever my problem is, I don't believe it is the same as others have had with the upgrade.
A new problem has arisen the last month or so where the tablet will power up fine and I can open the screen and usually get into a program and then the screen becomes very unresponsive. I cannot say it freezes up as I am able to get it to do a few things if I hold my finger on it long enough, but actions like swiping through a list are impossible.
At first I got several antivirus apps and ran them, but they did not find any malware on the tablet.
Next, I tried using some system diagnosis apps to tell me what is running and I cant find a particular App or system function that appears to be taking over the tablet, yet it will show the CPU maxed out at 100% when it happens.
Another symptom of the "issue" is that when this occurs, it always turns off my WiFi reception and I cannot turn it back on as it seems to get stuck in "Shutting off WiFI"
So far, the only thing I can do is reboot it, and usually after rebooting it 3 or 4 times, the problem seems to resolve and I can use the tablet normally until the next time it goes to sleep or is shutoff.
Any insight would be much appreciated!
