Close unnecessary background apps. Go to `Settings > Apps & Games > Manage All Applications` and force stop or uninstall apps you're not using. Free up internal storage by moving large files to a microSD card or deleting old downloads. Restarting the tablet can also help.

First, restart your Wi-Fi router and the tablet. Then, go to `Settings > Wireless > Wi-Fi`, forget your network, and reconnect. Ensure you are within range of your router and there are no obstructions. Check if other devices are having Wi-Fi issues to rule out a router problem.

Check your storage usage in `Settings > Storage`. Delete unused apps, old photos/videos, or downloaded movies/books. If you have a microSD card, move eligible content (like photos, videos, and some apps) to it. Consider upgrading to a larger microSD card if you frequently run out of space.

Check if the orientation lock is enabled. Swipe down from the top of the screen to open Quick Settings. Look for a 'Rotation Lock' or 'Auto-rotate' icon and ensure it is off (auto-rotate enabled).
