    What kind of tablet is it? When does it freeze? Is it when using a certain application? For how long? Do you have loads of widgets on your home screens? Are there a lot of widgets set to update often?

    If all else fails you could probably get it exchanged under warranty.
    What will your verse be?

    It is a momo20 player, I have on screen 'skype' 'utube' 'facebook' 'google', not sure why is this happening. I like the tablet just worried if it will get worst.

    This is it I think:

    Make sure you've plenty of onboard storage free, move apps to SD card if you need to or delete unused ones. Skype and YouTube are certainly pretty processor intensive apps so maybe it's just not up to it. I've no idea about your processor even though quad core *seems* good.

    There were reports a while ago of Currents, Google's news feed app, causing freezing problems. I don't know if it's still an issue.

    Disabling it seems to have fixed the problem for many users:

    Settings > Apps > Currents > Disable.

    If left to itself, Currents also tends to download quite a lot of data, so it's probably a good idea to disable it, anyway, if you don't use it.

    You could also try stopping a few processes and seeing it that makes any difference:

    Settings > Apps > Running, select one then hit Stop.
