    Samsung Tab 3 8 refuses to respond to touch?

    Just an update. Restored the device but went to Currys anyway to enquire about the "not responding to touch" fiasco and they said I could have an exchange under 21 day policy. Exchanged it for a brand new one which is nice. Thanks again for all the help. Mods, feel free to lock this thread :)

    Samsung Tab 3 8 refuses to respond to touch?

    Well my theory is it could just be software as it doesn't do it normally and sometimes after a reset it will work. In terms of apps coincidentally making it happen there isn't anything I can remember installing then it happening. It was just one night I got into bed, grabbed my tablet and and...

    Samsung Tab 3 8 refuses to respond to touch?

    Ah I see what you mean then. I suppose there is a risk either way. The problem just happened all of a sudden, I was trying to use my tablet and I just couldn't. I was just thinking though, here in the UK we had the 1, 2 , 3 offer where we got 2 years warranty, a 16GB SD card and 1 years...

    Samsung Tab 3 8 refuses to respond to touch?

    This is what I can't understand. Should I try a factory reset first and see if it fixes the problem? If it carries on I will go back to where I bought it from and try to replicate the error infront

    Samsung Tab 3 8 refuses to respond to touch?

    Hi guys my Tab 3 seems to have developed a problem of some sort. Basically, I lock the Tab 3 and then I press the button to awaken the device. The lock screen comes on as normal but for some reason, the bar instead of being clear, it goes Black, as though an app is running but I can't actually...

    Galaxy Tab 3: Software Update

    Re: Software Update My advise would just keep accepting them and let it update. It may actually be a different update.

    Would you recommend the Tab 3 8 inch?

    Although I haven't used mine as much as possible due to having no case/screen protector I could see straight away this is the tablet to get. Cheap, cheerful, Samsung branded, 8" 720p display, multi-window etc. I live in the UK and picked mine up for a sale price of ?179.99. I read the reviews...

    Is it bad that I like Touchwiz?

    My opinion really is that Android should be more like iOS in the fact of "UI Restrictions". What I mean is that I hate all these bloated UIs manufactures place on the devices. Google should have a policy that manufactures can't mess with the stock look of Android full stop. They can customize to...

    Tab 3 connectable to an External Hard Drive?

    I was about to say it could be due to it being formatted in exFAT but evidently not as I've just formatted a standard 8GB stick to exFAT and it works fine with my GS4. I think the problem could lie with the particular hard drive you have. From what I can gather not all external hard drives will...

    Tab 3 8" looses track of time/date?

    I suppose it's because of my nature when it comes to buying and using new tech "unprotected" so to speak. I'm scared of scratching it or bumping it. I've not got a case yet for it, ordered one last week, and don't really touch the tablet that often as I don't have a screen protector yet or the...

    Tab 3 8" looses track of time/date?

    So I decided to finally buy an Android tablet and loving the blown up experience. One thing that is bugging me though is the tablet lacks to ability to automatically set the date/time or keep it once it dies. Is there anyway I can get it from loosing date/time and automatically set? Thanks
