Help ZT-180 kicks to home screen or locks up

crash_129

Lurker
I have a ZT-180 tablet, not sure if it is V1 or 2, it has the camera and hdmi output. It is a 512mb ram, 4gb flash hd, 1ghz processor, running Android_2.2. I can be playing an app and it will kill it and kick back to the home screen for no apparent reason. It does this mainly when playing Angry Birds, Angry Birds RIO, and some other games. It has also done this when in Browser and attempting to open a web site. Has anyone else had this problem or any know of a fix for it? I have not tried to flash the whole tablet yet, I have only had it a couple weeks.
 
I had that happen with Angry Birds also. It seems to happen when you manually reset an episode rather than wait for it to pop up the window with the restart for that particular episode. Rio was resetting right away on the first episode, unlocking it (you can down load a free unlocker and backup) fixed that.

0305 rom seems to be more stable in using the game than 0312. I have not tested 0330 yet and I am not even sure what it is supposed to fix.
 
I updated my tablet to the 312 firmware. It now works with the live wallpapers, which it did not before. But it still has problems with some other apps, including the Angry Birds. It doesn't matter if I do not use the refresh in the middle of a level. The first time I tried it, it acted like it was going to open the app, but the screen went black and kicked back to the home screen. On the next couple attempts it would load and start playing a level and would then kick back to the home screen. On the fourth attempt, it loaded, started playing a level and it completely locked the tablet up and would not do anything at all. It has done this with the browser also. I also attempted to install flash, and it would not work either. Which I had already figured this.
 
I had an app today that actually did this to me also, besides a game. After the app kicked out, I went back and restarted the app. When the app started it came up and said that it had restarted because of an out of memory error. I have a memory booster running. Does anyone know of a good memory booster, or a way that you can use some of the external sd card as RAM?
