My tablet is slow anyone else have this problem?
dlevitt, you are correct in know that a SD memory card provides extra storage which can free up room on your device. RAM (random access memory) is something that is only on the device itself, not something a memory card can provide. The memory card provides the storage and relief to allow the device to have more room so that it can work more efficiently.

I just got an ellipse 8 and it is much slower than my LG tablet I had before. All applications open much slower and some do not work. I like the Weather Underground app and it will not run on the Ellipsis. Error says the google play store has to be updated. Never had this problem on an Android device.
Update.....I did install the Lollipop update yesterday when I got home and it updated all apps that were already installed. However it did not update Google play services. I just updated that manually now my other apps are working.device is still slower to open apps and slower at just general response and swiping. Someone needs to fix the update function to update all software on this device.
Timmyth3geek I am glad that you were able to update the software on the tablet and the apps all seem to be working but moving slowly when opening. We want the tablet to be as fast as possible. With he applications you are having trouble with please do the following http://vz.to/1LrqwrD. Once this has been done please reboot the tablet and try again.

Mine is a slug,good luck getting an answer
The ellipsis 8 tablet only has 1gb of RAM and that is not alot nowadays. RAM is what helps run the apps on your tablet. If there is not a lot available it can prevent your tablet from operating quickly.
I've also been very unhappy with the lack of performance. I've found that 2 things seem to help.
1. Clean the cache every few days to free up memory.
2. Make sure that you only have 1 browser window open at a time. It seems that multiple windows use more memory resources.
We shouldn't have these problems with a "modern" tablet. I wish Verizon engineers would have included 2 or 3 gigs. It couldn't have added that much to the manufacturing cost.
I continually am closing the recent app windows and I don't have more than one or two browser windows open at once. I wish they would have put two or three gigs of ram in these also.
dlevitt,Not enough memory can make anyone unhappy. Additional memory is just an SD card away. Your Ellipsis can support up to 32 additional GBs with an optional SD card. Here’s a link with options: http://vz.to/1VR6bUf.

I was under the impression that an SD card would only increase file storage. Are you saying that if I were to add an SD card, the "working Ram" would increase and possibly speed up the tablet? I thought that running RAM and Storage RAM were completely different.
It's slow because it is running low 2014 specs (build date). 1 gig of ram and 16 internal is a joke in modern tablets. This is being sold as a new tablet and is actually over 2 years old. having to constantly clear the cache to make it run is a sign of this. I have one for work and it is dang near useless. Tap an app, wait, it opens, tap an action, wait, ect. I have removed or frozen all apps I don't use and it is just slow. My other tablet is a Note 8, 3 years old, and while it is slowing down it still outperforms this tablet.
This tablet should sell for no more that $150 out the door, it's blatantly overpriced for what you get.
It is junk. If you still have 30 days, take it back. It is awful and not worth keeping, you can do nothing with it and Verizon lies to you when they sell you the thing. Don't sign up for Verizon, they sell you junk like this and defection of customers is what they should expect.
Mine is slow as heck too. Think the device is just garbage because I have like 2 apps and nothing else other than the standard apps that came installed and blahhhhhh...😕
I agree 💯 minus the price should be $ free and clear. And that's pushing it. 😉
We always want to see you have an enjoyable experience with your tablet. Is the performance slow when using a certain application or process? What is the current system version found via Settings> About Device? YaleK_VZW
