I purchased a San Disk micro SD card when I got my new S2 in June of '16 and it's worked perfectly until... Last night, when I had to reboot the tablet after it locked up on an app (not the first time that's happened, BTW. Not always the same app, either) and when I rebooted, it would seem...

Sorry, you've lost me on this, I've no idea how to do that! I've looked through all of the tools & such on ES but didn't see anything regarding permissions. I will do a search and see if I find some info on how to do that, thanks. Mike

I should have mentioned that I tried that one as well but it refuses to show any system files. The folder I am trying to copy to doesn't even show up on My Files. On both ES & OI it is the base device memory (equal to C/ on a PC). I have tried it without the SD card installed and also with...

Ok, I know I'm doing something wrong with my new Galaxy Tab S2, I just can't figure out what. I am trying to copy some ringtone files from one folder to another folder, both on the device memory (as opposed to the sdcard), however, every time I have tried (using both ES Explorer an OI File...

Hello All, I have an old Galaxy Tab 3, 8.0” and have also just purchased a replacement S2 8.0”. While it’s a nice little tab with excellent battery life, I have come to like a couple of the apps that Samsung installed on the GT3 and would like to have them on the S2, however I am having some...

I have recently upgraded from my old Tab 3 to an S2. Generally I like both of them (especially when compared to the hated iOS my wife uses), although the S2 does seem quite a bit better, overall, including a lot better battery life. However, I would like to use some of the apps I've come to...

Only Android would have a difference between SII and S2... thanks, I wouldn't have been able to find my own thread! TouchWiz is not something I have on either of these tablets... at least, as far as I know. From what I read on a quick search it's only for phones. It's certainly nothing I can...

I know there is a way to do this - I did it on my Tab 3 - but I'll be hanged if I can remember how. I have just purchased an S2 to replace my aging (and cracked) Tab 3. I would like to set it up the same way as the 3, since it's what I become used to and is what works best for me. However, I...

Re: s3 tablet lcd rerplacement I don't knkw what the new cost on your unit would be but my GT3 8.0 originally cost me $179.99. I too recently dropped mine and cracked the digitizer pretty badly. When I contacted a local shop about a replacement, they quoted me - you'll never guess! - the...

Every morning at 7:30 the settings on my tab 3 8.0 change all by themselves. ok, I know *something* is doing it but all I can get off Event Logger is some "system UI" baloney. It doesn't say what app is making the changes. When I wake up, the wi-fi is on, timeout is reset to 1 min., & my...

Ok, thanks for the info. I thought I was given the choice to accept or decline and got several reminders to update and after 2 or 3, finally did it. Big mistake, although they'd of gotten me latter no matter what and I'd STILL be mad at them. Maybe mad enough that if my tablet were to die...

Thanks, but I was hoping to keep everything 'as is' and not lose the set up I have, as would happen with this process. Not to mention it might be a wee bit beyond my (nearly non-existent) technical skills. I was hoping more for something like a Windows 'restore' that would just take me back to...

I'm not at all happy with the last update that Samsung pulled on my Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, effectively emasculating my SD card. Can this unwanted update be uninstalled? I'll take the security risks to get my SD card working again! Regards, crkckr aka Mike

Re: Charger not connecting I've had my share of issues with the charge port on my Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, including having it replaced under warranty less than a month in. I think the connector on this device is a bit on the 'delicate' side and will not tolerate any mishandling at all, unlike my...

It may depend on how you are loading the videos. If you're using the YouTube video app that came with your device, delete or hide it off in a corner somewhere and reinstall the app from the Play Store. For some reason, the supplied YouTube icon on my Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 did exactly what you are...
