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.

Hey just wanted to say I have had 0 issues or problems with my tab
hi Arieditya,

Hey cateatrats,
Yes, the Adobe Flash Player will be gone when you update to the latest version of Android (JB).
There are, however, some alternatives you can find and download from the Play Store. Most of them, don’t actually function like the flash player that we know for a long time.
I got Adore Flash Player on my Tab.Will it be removed when I update to Jelly Bean.
Hey Rob,
Here are some things I would recommend:
Workaround 1: Leave your tablet plugged into the charger for an hour, then turn it on.
Workaround 2: Try to press and hold the power button for 10 seconds… assuming you’ve already charged it for, at least, an hour.
Workaround 3: Press and Hold BOTH the POWER BUTTON and VOLUME DOWN BUTTON for 10 seconds, then release VOLUME Down button but continue holding the POWER button for another 10 seconds (or longer) to see if you can bring your device back to life.
Workaround 4: Plug your tablet to your computer to see if it would be recognized.
If none of these workarounds work, then I think it’s time to let some tech fix it for you.
Let me know if one of these workarounds worked for you.
Thanks.
Hi Linda,
Try to clear data of the camera app you’re using.
Go to Settings => Applications Manager => ‘ALL’ tab => scroll down to find Camera => tap on Clear Data and Clear Cache buttons.
Clear Data – This will clear all the personal settings in the app.
Clear Cache – This will delete all camera data saved in the memory of your device.
Let me if this works for you.
Thanks.
Hey Fanie,
If you would edit the photo later for optimization, it is better you use the full resolution Galaxy Tab 2 can offer.
About the emails, try re-syncing with your account. What email app are you using, by the way?

Hey Charlie,
Yes, your installed apps as well as all your data will be wiped out when you do a Factory Reset on your device.
But it seems like there’s no other options left for you do right now. I suggest you download one of the apps from the Play Store to backup everything in your device. One of those apps I personally used was Super Backup app.
You can back your SMS, settings, apps, etc. and store them into your phone’s storage. After that, you can do the reset, install Super Backup again, and restore the data you’ve backed up.
Let me know if the reset works.
Thanks, Charlie.
