Game AUTO Pausing Every Couple Of Seconds And Going Onto The Player Listè

So what happened is I'm basically playing Minecraft normally on my Samsung galaxy tab a 10.1 and then about

every couple of seconds it just crashes.and pauses (goes onto the player list, save and quit, settings etc) All my graphics are on minimum but if i just leave it qithout moving of doing anything it is fine. So i dont see what the problem is, it was working fine in previous versions.

If you can resolve this it would be a great help

Thanks
