Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Problems, Errors, Fixes and Solutions
Contents
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is a powerful tablet with its dual-core processor and 1GB RAM. While the Galaxy Note 10.1 has overtaken it as far as popularity is concerned, there are quite a lot of owners loving this device. Just like any other electronic device, the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 also has it share of errors and problems. Other users may have already found a solution to their problems while some may still be looking for answers to their questions.
That is the reason why we publish this article; we want to provide support to the owners who may be facing some troubles with their tablets. We have researched the most reported problems of this device and we find solutions, fixes and workarounds for them.
The first section deals with performance problem because over time, the tablet has a tendency to slow down that may also lead to lagging, freezing and hanging. Being a tablet, it is often used for entertainment rather than communication and therefore, its performance is very important.
The next section deals email problems, which is also among the most commonly reported problems in any tablet. Most of the times, email problems result from misconfiguration as well as wrong usernames and passwords. But there could also be problems with the connection in general. In the same section, we will also walk you through setting up your email both personal and corporate.
The third section is about mobile hotspot. While not every Galaxy Tab 2 user can enjoy this feature, it is one of the most common issues people were reporting basically because many bought this device to share their connection with their other devices without having to use a router.
The fourth section seems a bit complicated because it deals with rebooting issues. Since reboot issues don’t have apparent cause, the section deals with the discovery of underlying cause rather than provide resolution to the problem
The last section deals with the general connection problem for both mobile data network and Wi-Fi network. The same as with the fourth section, it deals with the discovery of underlying causes, which is a necessity to prevent the same problems in the future.

I just want to know why flash player isnt compatible and what player is there that is compatible and downloadable
Hi Glennah,
What happens after that? Are there any errors? Would the tablet hang or freeze?
I hope the problem is software-related. Try clearing data of camera and gallery apps.

Hi Jabulile,
Is this “existing email address” yours?
Please explain a little further why you have problems accessing games in your tablet.
About network problems, try to check your internet connection.
From what I understand in your problems, it seems to me that you’re just having some problems with your internet.
Without internet, you cannot send/receive emails. Some games may also require a connection so you can play.
Regards,
Harold
Another thing, it could just a loose connection. Try inserting a piece of paper in the SIM card tray to push the SIM card firmly. It may be an unorthodox workaround but it often works.
Hi Vaishali,
I can only think of two things:
1. Your SIM card is defective.
2. The tablet is locked to a carrier.
Recommendation:
1. Try a different SIM card to see if it works.
2. You can try to unlock the device. There are tons of articles online on how to unlock it but be mindful of the model number before you do.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Harold
Hello Fanyana,
Did you happen to check your internet connection? I hope you can get back to us and tell us where (what website if not from Google Play Store) you’re from.
If this happens when downloading an app from the Play Store, try clearing data of the download manager.
Regards,
Harold
