A warm welcome to XDA. I hope you'll always get the support you require. And age isn't an issue at all; you're only 10 years more experienced than me.
Did you already check the device forum for a solution?
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is an Android tablet released in the spring of 2012. It has many different versions, with variations coming in capacity, connectivity, and screen size. The screen size options are 7" and 10.1". Storage capacities vary between 16 GB and 32 GB. There are also HSDPA enabled...

Good day Gentlemen,
I am in process of selling my HP TouchPad on ebay.
I am in need of some pre-sales help asap please....I am in the market for buying a tablet...original budget was to be £200 max until I came across the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 which sells on Amazon for £330.
I nearly bought the tab 7.7 last night in time for my holiday in mid June...until I realised two stumbling blocks...
1) The Tab 7.7 has Honeycomb 3.2 which out of experience is horrendously "laggy" / buggy (especially with an overlay like Samsung's poor quality Touchwiz) and is certainly extremely sub-optimal for tablets - ICS is much better. I have heard the 7.7 is indeed laggy etc.
2) I have read that the Galaxy Nexus (or whatever it will be named) official "Google Tablet" is due for release in July....
Problem number 2 makes it a foolhardy idea to purchase a Tab 7.7 especially at the cost of it compared to £150-£200 on the Nexus if it is only 4 weeks away...though I really want a tablet to take on holiday mid June ideally.
So what I need to know if possible please, is :-
"Whether anyone knows if the Nexus tablet is due for UK release in July or whether I'd be better just buying a Samsung Tab 7.7 now & keeping it for a couple of years and forgetting about the Nexus (at least until W8 WOA tablets arrive lol)."
I really would like to see stock version of ICS Android 4.0 on my next tablet.
Your kind assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kind regards
HHhhhhhhh Today Samsung annonced official 4.4.4 for the S3 neo with 1.3 GB Ram and 1.2 Quad pross! And the S3 LTE with 2GB RAm and 1.4 quad pross didnt even receive 4.4.2!
Thanks Stupidsung

maybe it's time for you to join the new Gen of phones ... your phone's line passed 2 or 3 generations already

But yet, S3 LTE is way better than most of those cheaper models. and it is still sold as new here. It is a farce, because samsung floods market with different models.
besides. S3 LTE is about 2 years old model. not that old to quit all support.

@BruKnowsBest: You have been manipulated. Companies like Samsung have only one purpose, to sell as much as possible, but they also need to respect users. If I9305 is still being sold, they should update their software, or release codes for this device if they give a ****.
The battery is dying on my M3 8.4 and I can't find a good replacement. The M5 has been around a while and is not getting many updates. The M6 is hard to find, has poor community support and can't be rooted. I prefer a smaller tablet. The 8.4" size is perfect for me. What tablet would you get?
Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
You might look at the Samsung S5e. It's newer but not sure how many updates they will push out.
I got the S6 Lite and I'm very happy with it. Would recommend.

Isn't that's 10"?
Exact same question here. Been searching for the last several hours but can't find a good replacement - ideally around 8 inches with a 16:9 or 16:10 high density display somewhere around 2560x1600. All the samsungs are either 10 inch displays or 8 inches with low resolution.

Looking forward to it!
In the meantime I've been trying to use my Tab S4 as a daily use tablet for light consumption and reading, but hate that it's so big and can't be used comfortably with 1 hand.
i have a mediapad m5, mediapad m3, a tab s6, as well as several other tablets that i still use regularly. i prolly use the mediapad m5 the most, however the placement on the buttons on it is terrible. if i could only have one however i would probably use the mediapad m5. its still very fast. the tab s6 is too big unless you want to watch video on it which is beautiful and has great sound
I ended up getting a Samsung Tab S5E. It took me a while to get used to the larger size, but it's zippier than my old Hauwei and I like it. It's still getting updates and should let for a while.
Hello,
I recently bought the GT 5G, without knowing that GT 2 is on its way. Now, I can easily return the GT and preorder de GT 2. Looking at the GT 2, it has:
better camera (which I don't really care)
bigger display
bigger battery
corning gorilla glass 5
nonetheless, the promise of 3 years of major android updates.
I appreciate the new update policy, slightly bigger battery and corning gorilla glass. What are your guys thoughts, if you were in my position, and for those that have it, how is the experience so for, are pleased with the phone ?
P.S: I paid for my GT 5G Yellow Racing - 448 € Currently the GT 2 (12 GB variant) is on preorder for 545 €
Thank you !
Depending where you are the GT 2 128gb is 449€ again on amazon spain.
For that price I would return it.
I'm loving the phone apart from a small issue on the screen. Super quick charge, great camera, navigation feels fluid and quick, no lag or anything. For my use, no games, it's more than enough.
I just wish it was a little smaller, I'm not used to it.
3 years of updates isn't a good reason from my view point except maybe to fix the Android 12 fubar
Seriously if the current firmware is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission... let it be.
This Samsung N10+ is still running very well on Pie. I have no intentions of ever "upgrading" to 11 or 12... maybe 10 although it's no cherry.
If you can turn it and not lose much money, ok.
Otherwise maybe wait for the next release; get a phone and OS version you like and ride it for a while.
Fk the hype sales gimmicks... both Google and Samsung taught me that

Reading this makes total sense I have the GT 5G for about a week now and one thing is very clear, the support for realme in Europe is really bad compared to India for example. The forum for global community is empty . By the time it take to roll a stable update for any of the android version for that 3 year promise, will be a journey ...
Truth be told, I cannot complain about this GT 5G, coming from a Samsung Note 8, it's a blast to navigate the phone

The N8 is ancient. I had a S4+ before the N10+'s... yeah future shock. Lol, I was running on Kitkat/Touchwiz for years.
The Note series zenith was the N10+, after which Samsung has dropped more balls than a spastic labrador.
I don't blame you for bailing
And you got a 3.5mm jack... unfortunately no SD card slot. I would like to see Samsung have more effective competition now that LG is gone.
The problem with smaller manufacturers is less devices and often less support by fellow users.
3 yrs update is a very good reason to get GT 2 as GT was launched with android 11 and 2 years update policy.
With GT 2 launching with android 12 + 3 yrs update u will get updates till android 15 , while on GT only till android 13. Thats 2 years of better software support.
Good decision.
Does anyone else have the issue, that the SD card speed goes down significantly a while after the last reboot? I tried both with a Samsung PRO 64 GB and Samsung EVO Select 512 card. At the beginning I get around 40 MB/s seq write and 90 MB/s seq read. But then, after an hour at most, it slows down to about 16 MB/s write and 22 MB/s read.
This is a huge difference and should not happen on a top end device, especially not when I am even using SD cards from the same company that work fine in other devices.
(tested with Cross Platform Disk Test CPDT, file size 0,5 GB, otherwise default settings).
I've run two tests and both maxed out at 22MB/s
What card do you use? For modern cards this is definitely too slow! It seems like theS8 can go to at least 50 write and 90 read.
Today I tested with another brand new 512 GB Samsung EVO select (2021 model). Same problem as before.
For all who are interested: I sent an error report via the Samsung Members app and after a while I got a response. This appearantly is a known issue and will be fixed in a future Update:
"Dear Samsung customer,
thank you for your message, we are happy to help you.
The phenomenon you describe is already known and will be fixed with an upcoming update.
We ask you for a little patience so that we can solve the phenomenon for you in the best possible way.
Please check regularly whether a software update is offered to you and install it if necessary."
Thanks for checking in with them, and reporting back!
Next update would probably be Android 12L with OneUi 4.1.1. Since some site said Galaxy Z Fold 3 got august update and after that the Android 12L will be next for it. So then I suspect galaxy tab s8 ultra will get it next too.

I downloaded a new update for the XAR Tab S8 Ultra yesterday or the day before but I haven't installed it yet. Here's hoping the 12L/12.1 update comes soon for it.
The new update had my micro card reading at 80mb/s and writing at 39mb/s
