Huawei Mediapad 3 app loading & downloading of apps extremely slow

[havilan]

I purchased my Mediapad 3 in October. I don't have the lte version, just wifi. Initially, I was extremely happy with this tablet. Very speedy, great screen. Loved it. After about 3 weeks, it became very slow. Apps were slow to load, especially NYTimes app and browser pages (using Chrome) also were painfully slow to load. I tried clearing cache & memory to no avail. Finally did a hard reset and everything was great again, for about 2 weeks. I have now been through this several times. The only thing that seems to work is a hard reset. Does anyone have any ideas how I can prevent this slowdown? I am not willing to hard reset forever so need to get a new tablet if this isn't fixable.

Only thing I can tell you is that it sounds like an app is causing this. When factory resetting the tablet only load a few apps at a time and wait. When it starts slowing you can see what app is the culprit.
I have had my tablet since spring of 2017 and have not had this problem.

Thanks, Ahent. I have done that (several times) and now have hardly anything installed. However, I will try again. If that is the issue I clearly haven't nailed what app it is yet. This is such a great tablet when it works that I am loathe to abandon it.

Have you tried disabling some of the Huawei apps, at least the ones it will let you? It could be one of theirs going rogue. Also, not sure if a kernel could cause this issue if it didn't update/install correctly. I'm not sure if on a factory reset if it rewrites/reinstalls the kernel.

That's because of an application 100% ... To me the application all in one gestures made me the tablet very slow and with lag
