    Why is this Lollipop update causing a battery drain?

    Re: Lollipop update causing battery drain Hi Thanks all. I tried a factory reset. Still unhappy with battery wear and frequent crashes on Chrome. Never had either before. Can anyone suggest how I can reinstall KitKat, which seemed entirely bug free. Thanks

    Help! Lollipop update causing problems on Tab S 10.5

    I have tried clearing the cache powering off and on. My view is that Lollipop is crap on my 10.5 Galaxy. Dreadful. Can anyone suggest the best way to revert to KitKat. Thanks

    Thanks for the responses. Can I ask specifically if anyone here on the forum has suffered the same problems and, if so, how they fared or resolved them?

    Help! Lollipop update causing problems on Tab S 10.5

    The update prompt was there when I powered up so no apps were running. The Tab S rebooted after installation. I also flushed out the cache. Anyone had similar issues successfully resolved. All assistance appreciated.

    Why is this Lollipop update causing a battery drain?

    Re: Lollipop update causing battery drain What I am saying is that compared to the OS I had on the device, I find 5.0.2. a dog. Google suggests lots of people are finding the same. Unless a factory reset will resolve the 2 issues I posted about, I would prefer to consign this to the scrapheap...

    Why is this Lollipop update causing a battery drain?

    Re: Lollipop update causing battery drain Will that restore KitKat? What is the best way to backup all data, bookmarks etc etc?

    Why can't my Tab S 10.5 only play some videos copied from my computer?

    I had exactly the same problem. Turned out my SD card was corrupted. I verified this with a free app from Google Play called "SD Insight". Replaced the card, verified it was OK and never had a problem since. Good luck.

    Help! Lollipop update causing problems on Tab S 10.5

    I have had a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 for about 8 months. Fabulous device. Auto update sis on by default. 5 or 6 days ago I was prompted to install Lollipop 5.0.2, an 185Mb download. I promptly did so. Big mistake. I have 2 serious issues; 1. battery drain makes it almost unusable. I can literally...

    Why can't I play videos on my Samsung Galaxy S 10.5?

    None have any copy protection issues. All play perfectly on my Samsung Bluray connected to the TV and on my laptop. It is only the tablet I am having issues with. Are there any other owners/users of the same device who might let me know if the issues I am having are common to the Galaxy S 10.5...

    Why can't I play videos on my Samsung Galaxy S 10.5?

    The originals are in mp4 or mkv format, around 750-1000 mbs. I downloaded Freemake as you suggested and converted one video using the Galaxy Tab P100 option, which seemed closest. It turned a 830Mb file into a 2.4Gb file which still will not work on my device. Can I approach this another way. I...

    Why can't I play videos on my Samsung Galaxy S 10.5?

    Thanks for the reply. I just saw it because of the time difference [I am in Australia] What format? I have tried two programmes to convert: 1. Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate. 2. Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate Followed instructions, selected the Tab S option for both converters...
