Anyone else notice how slow Galaxy Tab 3 is compared to S5?

[AZgl1500]

I was truly not ready for this.

My wife's niece has a Tab 3 (SM-T210) and wanted to make some changes on it. it's a Samsung, right? I can handle that.

Well, first off the Settings menu is "garbage" compared to how easy it is to get around on the S5's menu.

Second, slow ain't the word for it. I was shocked.... am I that spoiled with my S5?

I know what slow is, I have owned/used the original Galaxy S for 3 years.

Rotation on it takes almost 5 seconds to sense you changed it and then rolls over.... that roll over animation is sooooo sloooowwww too.

I'm sure that it needs a lot of tuning up and probably needs to have some garbage taken off of it.

Someone has rooted it, it has SuperSu on it and when I went to turn off Location, SuperSu came up and asked if I wanted to give it permission to do so.

Anyway to make this thing into a cellphone?

I see a slot for a SDcard which it has one in it, but where would you put the SIM card?

Probably packed full of garbage that is impeding performance. Maybe try a fresh install or a clean ROM?

If it is not an LTE Tab 3 then you can not connect it to the cellular network. Not sure what you mean by turning it into a cellphone. If it is an LTE version it can connect to the cellular network and use communication apps over the cellular network.

If it is an LTE version it will have a slot for the SIM card.

I got the kids version (yellow one with orange bumper) for my daughter for Christmas last year and thought the same thing. I assumed is was from the kid mode ability.
