    Galaxy Tab 3 - Won't Charge

    To be crystal clear to Samsung and anyone interested in a Tab 3...DO NOT BUY A SAMSUNG TAB 3 UNTIL THEY FIX THIS...MAY BE A FACTORY DEFECT THAT CANNOT BE FIXED. Although WE have wasted our money, please do not waste yours. Please buy a quality tablet that allows the battery to discharge without...

    Galaxy Tab 3 - Won't Charge

    Ironically enough, my oldest son does have a Nexus 7. Thus far no problems (thankfully). I know he wished it had the rear camera though. ...and at least I don't have to take it apart when it runs out of juice! haha (at least I can laugh about it....now):D

    Galaxy Tab 3 - Won't Charge

    Mainly because I didn't feel like wasting my time honestly. (shipping them back & not having tablets for a couple of weeks) My kids really wanted to use their brand new tablets. Quite frankly, I could have returned both of them to BestBuy as well. I didn't do that because I also bought 2 $80...

    Galaxy Tab 3 - Won't Charge

    Galaxy Tab 3 - Won't Charge

    @brosko ... Looks like it's the battery thing. I have to assume that this issue should be fixed by now via software. While I was chatting with Samsung, they implied with 'Oh well, open a service ticket'...How can they not know of this issue (from a tech support standpoint)?

    Samsung Tab 3 won't switch on..?!

    OK...I fixed both of these stupid things... (fixed with the battery trick...in case you don't know, you have to take the tablet apart, disconnect & reconnect the battery) - There is another thread that shows you how. Now.....Is there a firmware update or something that we all should do? Do...

    Galaxy Tab 3 - Won't Charge

    OK...I fixed both of these stupid things.. (battery trick) Is there a firmware update or something that we all should do? Do anyone by chance have any info/directions on updating software so we don't have to do this anymore? (thanks)

    Galaxy Tab 3 - Won't Charge

    This is so ridiculous....I have 2 brand new tablets that are doing this. (Gifts for my kids)...also have invested an addl 80 ea for otterboxes. Now I discover that I bought a **** poor product. This really sucks. Goodbye to Samsung... What a piece of crap

    Samsung Tab 3 won't switch on..?!

    ...give me a break, when your kids forget to turn their tablets off, they no longer power up without special tricks. Geez... I don't own a travel charger for my kids' tablets. Am I SOL till I go buy one? ...Samsung blows
