ABS, 04 Nov 2021Please what does it take to be full charged? Time? My S2 says slow charging every time I conn... moreTry installing Ampere app and see what is the charging rate. The original charger can do up to 10W. At some point I noticed long charging times, checked it in Ampere and was only getting 0.7W. Then I replaced the cable and got 6-7W. Try also replacing the cable, it may be damaged.

    My S2 says slow charging every time I connect it to the charger, I know it is not the original but it takes much long duration may be 10-12 hrs.! Is that normal! 🤔

          I love the Samsung tab S2, the perfect size for my hands. Everything is great about it and still works almost perfectly even with a cracked screen! Got my monies worth on it!

            Bought when it first came out in 2015 and it's been going strong until recently. The USB port must be worn out since it won't connect & charge with most of my cables. Works consistently with one cable but that one is hardwired to a charger so it doesn't help when I need a to plug into a USB port on a plane or bus when traveling.

                For a 5 year old Tablet it's still standing relatively strong. I've had 2 of these tablets the first one developed a flickering screen so I sent it off to repair only for them to offer me a exchange instead. I accepted and have owned the second one for 4 years and the only issues I've had was a area of the screen getting very hot but only during intensive stuff like gaming and the second issue which I just took it in for repair is the tablet getting stuck in a reboot loop. I've had the issue the whole time even the first one I had did it but it only did it at 5% battery but this eventually got worse and now does it at 40% battery life. Absolutely fantastic piece of kit and I wish they would still release updates for it as it still out performs some of the more modern tablets however it was starting to show it's age due to apps no longer working due to updates.

                      From a 2016 model this tablet hasn't skip a beat good for watching movies at bedtime. I passed it down to my 5 year old kid who loves watching YouTube then the battery failed tried to charge it fully but Samsung logo keeps restarting. I looked for a battery luckily a found one at 10 bucks and had to pry tge back cover to replace the battery. Now works like new again minor dents and some battle scars. But the tablet is working fine.
                      I wish samsung release a newer version of the tablet

                          Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 users in Latin America have received surprise updates in November 2020. Users from Australia, China and Singapore also received OTA updates in December 2020. No new features are added to these devices, security patch level is not updated too but Samsung did manage to fix critical bugs to prevent hackers from exploiting these devices.

                          Well done Samsung for updating 5 year old devices! 👏👏👍👍👍

                                I really like that one. I had it since 2016. Recently, my tab was fall down to floor and i can't read anything on my display because my screen is black. There is a Samsung repair service in my country. They said there is a problem on my lcd screen and asking me to pay

Watch videos, listen to music while reading. The only other 8" that can (could) hang with this tablet was an ASUS Zen Pad. Better specs, great display. I had my stolen, I REALLY miss that tablet. They do not make the model I had. It was 3 GB memory. 64GB storage, display right there with Samsung. Even had a proprietary pen!

                                      Help... Suddenly my tab S2 screen is blank, no output at all from lcd. I thought the battery is low. But when I plugin charge cable, button back and menu light up and vibrate a little bit.

                                      So does this mean, the battery and engine still ok! But the screen dead?
