SM-T800 is Wifi and SM-T805 is 4G and Wi-Fi as far as I know.

My tablet is less than 6 months old and for the last month or so I have noticed that it blinks out randomly. It isn't losing power, the screen blinks out, as if its blinking at me, sometimes it comes back on right away and sometimes I have to hit the power button. It comes right back to the same place so I don't lose any work, but it is a pain. has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a fix or should I replace it.

Have you powered it OFF and then back ON? Might this be associated with any apps you are using - does it happen after using App X?

How about a hard reset?

 

[NWgirl66]

I have not linked the issue to use of a specific app, it does seem to occur more in the morning when I just power on and start using it but not always. Also have not done a hard reset as I didn't think it would solve the issue.

I don't believe a hard reset "kills" anything. It is not initializing the tablet.

Press and hold the Volume UP and Volume DOWN and Power button at the same time, 10 seconds. Tablet restart.

 

[NWgirl66]

ah, a restart, yes I have done that. It didn't resolve the issue.

If it has been occurring for a while now, I'd think it was a hardware issue and maybe you should investigate warranty repair/replacement.

I guess you can also try the more extreme process of wiping the tablet back to factory fresh. I've not really investigated how that works.

Good luck

Just ordered the LTE version from Sprint...UPS Gods please be kind! I can't wait to get my hands on this tablet. I had a 2013 Nexus 7 until I sat on it..it fit too easily into my back pocket and I forgot about it. Been about 6 months without one now and am starting to drool in anticipation. Looking forward to using the LTE feature.

Why should I buy the Tab S instead of Note 10.1? It is the WiFi version and my primary uses would be in order of importance....to me, 1. Netflix 2. Web Surfing 3. Book, magazine ereading 4. Life organization apps, Evernote etc. for work and home.

Thanks in advance for your help and anyone else can chime in. I had a Nexus 10 and was happy with it for two and a half years when the touch screen was not having issues.

I work samsung sales and marketing and our ears are open to the feedback. I have also spent the last few days in BestBuy stores watching the responses of people to them. It has been very good and people are loving them as they should.
I also recommend u try out power saving modes Grey scale option for reading, also ultra power saving mode for over night.

Hi just purchased tab s and find it very easy to use.
However after downloading some app and saving web pages to homescreen it now will not do this function so i must have changed the setting somehow.

So it won't save anymore Webpages to the homescreen? How many have you saved? It is possible they are are another "page/screen"? Try swiping left or right. Or maybe there is a limitation on how many you can save.

I love my device; it will be a year old soon. The Hancom Office apps have all stopped working, however and I can't get them back no matter what I try. I'd like to reinstall, but they came with the device and I don't want to have to purchase them. I have cleared the cache, the data, and force stopped them to try to get them to return, but no luck. How can I get them back?

Have you tried clearing cache partition in recovery mode to see if that solves the problem?
