    Why won't my device charge?

    I have been using the charger and cord that came with the device. Charging was normal until a few days ago. Charging had slowed down to a crawl, I changed to another Samsung charger. The device charged to 100% overnight. The next day, after usage down to 70%, I placed it back on the charger...

    Set default storage to SD card

    Thank you for the explanation. I will weigh this against other perceived benefits.

    Set default storage to SD card

    I finally found something on the Samsung forums. Funny, I was chatting with support at the same time and he did not provide instructions that were applicable on the device I had. I sent him what I found in the Community. I was able to move apps, but the downside is these will not be in the...

    Set default storage to SD card

    Thank you for the information. But it would seem counterproductive to limit what is loaded when there is an abundance of memory if there were just some way to access it. There must be an easier way! In one of the reviews I read, there was something about setting the tablet up to recognize the...

    Set default storage to SD card

    I'm not very Android savvy. Are there instructions for doing something like this? Would there be something that is more definitive on what to do and what that would accomplish?

    Set default storage to SD card

    I recently bought a new Galaxy Tab S2 to replace my Galaxy Tab 10.1. Mainly because one of the features was the use of the SD card to store and run apps. Memory on my Tab 10.1 was always maxed out and I was moving apps to the SD card daily. However, on the new S2, I cannot find any setting...

    I have an S2 tablet. I can't get the door open to insert a SD card. Help! What could the problem be?

    push the pin in really hard, until it sort of clicks. The card carrier will then pop out. Remove it totally, insert the card in the holder, then return to slot and push it in.

    File management

    Thanks, I will try. Can I just connect the device to my PC with the USB cable? I have a tablet and not a phone, does that make a difference?

    File management

    Is there a way to determine if rooting is necessary? I've seen the term, but do not know how to go about doing this. Can it be safely done by a tablet novice? I'm much more comfortable on a PC.

    File management

    Thank you. I will try both. Despite speed, I am much more comfortable typing and moving files with my mouse on a PC, I find tablet manipulation more cumbersome.

    File management

    Is it possible to move files around, i.e. from internal to SD storage, rename, etc., by connecting the tablet to a PC? Will the tablet show up as an external drive on the PC enabling me to quickly manage files?

    Is the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 still a good tablet?

    Ditto, but having the 64GB card hasn't helped much. Most things appear to default to the device. If you figure out away to force everything to the card, please post the solution. It's pretty aggravating having to frequently move and clean in order to make space on the device.

    How can I default apps and data downloads to the SD Card?

    Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. I was hoping that I might have missed something and someone knew of a way to get around the limited device memory. I have done what I could find with individual apps with lots of data--like maps; but for some reason stuff moves back to the device on its...

    How can I default apps and data downloads to the SD Card?

    Data storage Is there a way to default app and data downloads to the SD card? I am constantly running out of onboard memory - 16GB is too little, I have a 64 GD SD card. I have moved everything to the SD card that I can using application manager, but it seems that updates or possibley...
