Android black screen again...

[J. Landman Gay]

I looked up the Samsung Tab A and it says it runs Android 9, upgradable to 
11. There are multiple RAM options. Is this the one you have?

 I'm just guessing, but memory may be too low to allow the browser widget 
to work, since it does work after a reboot and the problem only happens 
occasionally. But Android 5 is almost 10 years old and I'd be surprised if 
that is what your tablet is running. Have you checked for an update? You 
have much more control of memory usage with a newer OS.

In any case, you can keep memory usage lower if you delete or disable all 
apps and processes you don't need. You can do that in Settings/Apps. 
Samsung installs a lot of bloatware and if you don't use those things, turn 
them off or remove them. You can't always uninstall these but you can 
disable some of them. Also uninstall any extra apps you don't use. I have a 
newer Samsung tablet and I disabled or deleted almost half the software it 
shipped with. Many of these run in the background and use memory. Launcher 
widgets also run constantly so remove the ones you don't need from your 
launch screens.
