Here's a thread on the problem in a larger Samsung tablet, with more details about re-soldering the six battery connectors to the motherboard: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-pro-12-2/369546-samsung-note-pro-12-2-screen-flickering-problems-3.html

Having the same problem once the battery level goes below 38% or so, but have not tried fixes yet. This website lists three troubleshooting steps, two of which have already been mentioned above:How to Fix the Samsung Galaxy Tab Reboot Loop (Note, I just discovered the directions for entering...

Bizarre. I've never seen anything like it. Is it only in certain applications?

I have no problem getting to 100% charge if power saving mode is turned OFF, but if power saving mode is turned on I can charge for six hours and the level only changes from, e.g., 74% to 87%. My charging level also seems to drop faster when power saving mode is turned on. Basically, power...

I was having similar problems and, based on preliminary tests, my problem appears to be related to power saving mode. I have no problem getting to 100% charge if power saving mode is turned OFF, but if power saving mode is turned on I can charge for six hours and the level only changes from...

Thanks. Looks to be basically the same as the VSTN case I linked to in my first post, which I also noted has two viewing angles in post #8.

Fintie appears to have a number of different cases for this tablet. Could you provide a link or model designation? Thanks.

Do you have power saving mode turned on? If so, I'd suggest turning it off and seeing if reported lower levels are more as expected, e.g. seeing if you can hit 100%. My preliminary tests are suggesting there may be a bug associated with power saving mode.

It may not be bad battery life but only a bug related to misreporting of battery level. See posts in the thread about battery won't charge without rebooting. I seem to be having similar issues but need to collect more data first to determine wherein the problem really lies. Would be...

There is another option. I use Firefox on my PC, and just downloaded the mobile version for use on the tablet. Works fine. I also expect my privacy will be compromised less using Firefox on this device than browsers developed by Google or Samsung.

From a hands-on review on tech radar: "Samsung took great pains to point out how much better the new display was side by side with an LCD (oddly choosing to lament the colour performance of its very own Galaxy Tab Pro) but it just looked different, not better - it depends on your preference."...

This is doubtless obvious to some, but I recently discovered the VSTN case I bought actually has two possible viewing angles in stand mode. One is the "official" one pictured in the amazon listing I linked to in the original post, the other you can access by orienting the folded support at the...

Looks like a nice case, but $40 is more than I'd want to spend for something that can only be used with this tablet. The separate stand, on the other hand, is cheaper and can be used even if you upgrade to a different tablet. Jim

Great. Thanks! Had no idea such things existed. Would use it mostly while traveling, so looks like what I need--though I see there are also several other stand designs to choose from.

I recently purchased and received an inexpensive VSTN case from Amazon for my Pro 8.4. I like the case and am impressed and surprised with the quality. I only have one problem. It appears to have only one viewing angle when used as a stand. (Though the description says "multi-angle.") And...
