[AC Question]

Had this tablet for a few years. recently it has been getting very slow and now is virtually useless. I run Avast Anti Virus and AVG Cleanup all reporting tablet is clean.
I am stuck. Does anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to Android Central! Have you done a factory reset?

It might be related to lack of TRIM. Read more here: How to Fix Android’s Bad Performance and Awful Design. The solutions there might be risky, though, so proceed with caution.

Thanks for your response. Was hoping to avoid a factory reset because of my extra apps.
Will this memtest app work on a non Samsung device?
How do I root my device?

Sorry, but I don't have answers for that. Check the forums at xda-developers.com to see if anyone has been able to root that particular device. Otherwise, you could try "one-touch" rooting programs like Towelroot or Kingo.
