Please see in the System Storage information from menu, and find out how many left storage for each partitions.

  12. Hey there,

    My ram is always really high and the tablet is ALWAYS slow when working off the mobile data. Is there anything i can do to make it faster? The tablet is meant to be able to multitask but it is barely useful for doing one task!!

    Thanks

    Reply
    • Hi, the specification from Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7″ already have 1GB RAM. This RAM should be enough to run many applications and doing multitasking at this tablet. But if you already use this tablet for several months, maybe you or someone else has downloaded some applications from Google Play Store. Some of them could run in the background although you never touch that applications anymore after downloaded. That kind of applications should run in the background to wait for data update or wait some command. If there are too many applications run in the background, then this will make your tablet become run more slowly because they will need some RAM and processor resources. Please uninstall some not use applications, or you can make your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7″ (P3100 or P3110) performance run faster again like new by doing hard reset or master format. But do not forget to backup all important data, because hard reset will delete or wipe all data from this tablet.

That not appropriate applications running and use the processor resources and also it will make the battery drain faster. Please try to un-delete suspected applications.

It should run normally. Please only choose recommended and high rate applications from Google Play Store.

Please find which applications use many data at internal memory by open Menu > Setting > Apps and see all installed applications. Once you find the trouble applications, then you should better to clean the Data with Clean Data button.

Before do this you have to read carefully what is advantages or disadvantages of using their custom rom, because sometime some features can not work properly with custom rom.

    • Hi, if you forgot Samsung account password, then you can try to reset password using https://account.samsung.com/account/check.do from Samsung website. We suggest to use computer browser for easy view and navigation. However, if you have paying service, usually you have special line to get help, please use that line to fix this trouble. The other alternative you still can try to access one by one email account like Gmail or Yahoo that you have without use your phone.

    • Hi, usually after choosing wipe data, then your Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 will reformat the operating system to factory default. But this steps maybe can not work if you use custom rom or tweaked rooted firmware. If you are not sure, then please consult with Samsung authorize service center.

    • Hi, as far as we know there are no official firmware upgrade for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7″. Maybe you can find some non standard custom rom Android Lollipop for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7″, but we are not recommended to do that steps unless you are now what you do, because some wrong steps can make this tablet become corrupt and can not use anymore. Some custom rom also can make Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7 features can not work perfectly.

    • Hi, it seems that your Gmail applications get trouble at your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7 inches. usually after doing hard reset, your trouble will go away, because it will reinstall factory default Android operating system, and also reinstall factory default applications like Gmail apps and some other more. If Please try to do hard reset one more time, but after finish reformat, do not login with any previous Google account, you may create new Google account at this tablet, then try to use for several hours or days. If everything work fine, then maybe that problems happen because your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7″ do auto restore previous backup, it will follow old Gmail account.

  36. Due to safety issues i hd set the screen password but now i want to remove that bt unable as there comes no option for it..how to proceed?

    Reply
    • Hi, you may try to unlock forgotten security screen lock password at your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 using Google account. Please turn on your tablet, when it ask for password, then try to give several time wrong answer continuously until your tablet freezing 30 seconds. At this time you can find Forgot password button, press this button then you will find field to type your Gmail username and password that you have already signed in before. Please make sure your Internet connections is active when doing this process, because your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet will ask authentication to Google server. If you still can not unlock using Gmail account, then please follow steps to hard reset this tablet using hardware button combination key like steps at options 2 above.

  37. Hello,

    I have tab2 with a very stubborn virus on it. I’ve done hard format several times but every time I resatrt it the virus is still there waiting to open the wifi so that it activates itself and takes control over my tab again. The virus can control everything on my tab. I went to a mobile shop and he told me that he can fix it for me by doing a different kind of formatting. Actually I would like to do it myself, so any idea on how to do it?

    Thanks in advance

    Best

    • Hi, as far as we know after your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7 inches already finish hard reset, then the operating system will be reinstall to factory default. All viruses and bad applications also will wipe. Therefore your tablet will not have any virus anymore. Please try again to hard reset one more time and remove/erase all data options. After your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 finish reformat, then please do not login with any previous login, you can try to create new Google account login, because sometime if you use old login, then your tablet will restore automatically with previous cloud backup, when you have bad apps before, it will restore back automatically. Therefore you can try to create new Google account to make sure everything fine.
