Just got a Proscan tablet with Android 4.2.2 Cannot understand why I cannot listen to internet radio and do anything else. Usually listen over Google Chrome. Opening a second browser... Opera, Firefox still stops the internet radio. Guidance sought

this is the reason why i never get an off brand tablet....just not worth the trouble even though they are cheap:http://androidforums.com/faqs/631594-off-brand-phones-tablets-worth-low-cost.html

are you using an app for the radio? or thru your web browser?

The Proscan only has 512MB RAM, which is not a lot for a JB 4.2 tablet. If you open another app, it's likely the browser is being pushed out and is no longer running including whatever it was streaming. Basically there's not enough RAM for it to multitask properly. Many good devices now come with 2GB RAM as standard these days, sometimes 3GB. Proscan is something that Walmart sells for $50 bucks.
 
Much thanks for your informative reply. I would ask the following:
There is a slot for additional memory... can it be configured to "act" as a memory reserve?. If so, is there specific guidance?

Additionally, encountered something I have never seen. Attempted to connect to WiFi in a public library with no success. No password needed. Pressing connect generates the word "saved" . Do not know how to interpret this. Have connected to every other public network. Hoping for your informed opinion
