    Tab S2 messaging

    Mine did not either, wifi model. If you have a cell phone with messaging, that cell company may have an app. Search text messaging apps in the Google Play store.

    Tab S2 messaging

    Check with your cell phone provider for their app. I am using Verizon's Message+. Works well.

    should I wait, or will the tab s3 be cost prohibitive?

    It may be out next month. I would wait, you can compare the specs and reviews before you buy, and if you prefer the S2 it may be on sale once the S3 is out. I have owned many tablets and usually go for the latest model.

    Have you been using your S2 9.7 without a screen protector? All good?

    I have the S2 8.0 with no screen protector. I do have a case cover on at all times. Never used a stylus or taken to the beach. I have used daily for more than a year including international travel and the screen is flawless. This is my 6th tablet and have never used a screen protector or had...

    8" or 9.7"

    I prefer the smaller 8.0 for portability. It fits easily I my camera bag and day pack. I use mine as an ereader, for photo editing, email, Pandora player and Forum reader and rarely for watching videos. Never had issues with 8.0 size or function. I like the wider screen of the S2 versus my prior...

    Backup all data

    I don't know of an app or service that does it all, but in purchasing new or factory resetting I have copied my entire tablet to my PC via the USB cable, and then selectively copied back after all apps were restored/reintalled. Some apps allow for backups like Folder Organizer and Nova Launcher...

    Does Samsung not care about their tablets?

    Just to offer another opinion, my S2 does everything I want it to do very well and is the most stable error-free tablet I have owned. I could care less about upgrading the OS. Samsung is historically slow on system upgrades, so what.

    Fantastic Tablet.

    I have owned several Android tablets including Samsung (most recent Tab Pro 8.4) and Nexus. My S2 8.0 is the best and most stable tablet I have owned.

    Transfer Google Play Apps From Phone to Tablet

    Nearly all of your apps will transfer. There may be a few that do not. Having upgraded tablets and android phones recently, this has been my experience. Make a list of your favorite apps in case you need to reinstall . Also, be patient. Depending on the number of apps you have, it could take...

    Extremely slow charging issue on my Galaxy Tab S2 9.7

    Sounds like you have a defective S2. It should recharge in 2-4 hours. Return it and exchange for another.

    What Screen Protector is everyone using?

    Mine is a thin cover/stand not a keyboard. It rarely comes off, except when I photograph it for eBay when time to upgrade [emoji6] . Have dropped once or twice, no damage with cover on. A screen protector will not prevent damage if dropped BTW. A wipe down with a clean cloth keeps the screen...

    What Screen Protector is everyone using?

    None, ever. I find a foldover cover-stand is all I need to protect the tablet. This is my 6th tablet, never had a problem.

    Top bezel two 'marks'

    My S2 8.0 has these ~2cm length. They are too symmetrical to be blemishes, tho not sure of the purpose. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    Galaxy Tab S2 worth it?

    I upgraded from the Tab Pro 8.4 to the S2 8.0 and couldn't be happier. I had been having some charging issues with my Tab Pro and running low with the16gb memory for some time, so this was a very positive upgrade. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Standby time is pretty damn good!

    I am quite happy with my 8.0 so far. I too have noticed very good battery life compared to the Tab Pro 8.4. Must be how it handles standby time. Mine has been off the charger for about 5-1/2 hours. Used it today for reading emails, downloading and viewing photos, Facebook etc. and it is at 93%...

    Samsung's New Tablet

    My Tab Pro 8.4 has had some charging issues for awhile, plus 16gb ram keeps running low. So I am upgrading to the S2 8.0. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Which color Tab S2?

    I chose black thinking it would look best with a black case / cover. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Looking for a stand

    Search Amazon for a "black foldable stand for ipad". I purchased a couple of these, they are inexpensive and work well. Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk
