Samsung reps state they have never heard of this. My tablet is still under warranty, I have done everything recommended other than sending in to have the techs look at it. What have you found out and has it cured the problem.

                After 4 months of use the battery dies to fast, and the volume down button is not responsive. This also feels "too thin" making it not very portable at all.

                Also there is no heavy duty case for this tablet currently, not from Otter or anyone else. Kind of sucks.

                Wish I just got the Ipad pro or an upgrade of my Ipad. I took a chance with Samsung because I believed the hype. I was so wrong. Do not buy.

                            Hello,,

                            I just wanted to say that I am usiing Tab s2 which supports 3G/LTE model name is T815Y.
                            Now the query is I am unable to make regular calls through stock phone applications even though I am using 4G SIM of Reliance Jio. But I am able to make HD VoLTE calls through my Tab.
                            Can anyone let me know a way out of this or would I be unable to make regular calls without network in future ?
                            Thanks for the help.

                                    Does anyone know when Samsung will be releasing a high-end tablet that has an S-pen?

                                    I've been using the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) tablet released in 2013 for some time now; it's a very good tablet.
                                    The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 is also a good tablet, but I would never buy it because it doesn't have S-pen support and it's battery is weak compared to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition).

                                    Until Samsung releases a better tablet (with a 9.7" screen) than my 2013 Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) tablet, I think I'll hang on to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) tablet for as long as possible.

                                    Samsung knows how to make very good tablets, but sometimes it seems not to pay attention to what consumers really want.

                                        Bro@home, 17 Aug 2016Frequencies listed for all models to my knowledge will only... moreThanks for your warning, Bro@home.

                                        I currently use a 2012 Galaxy S-III (or S-3) (Model SGH-I747; micro-Sim card) on the AT&T network. But for years I've wanted a much BIGGER device (e.g., for easier Web browsing/texting). Now I read online (including in this conversation) that certain tablets can be used as phones. Great. But maybe it is not so easy?

                                        I see that the Tab S2 is available:

                                        1. WiFi only. Obviously skip that.
                                        2. "International" unlocked GSM/LTE versions (e.g., directly from Samsung). (no warranty)
                                        3. LTE versions with certain carriers like AT&T or Verizon (e.g., from Best Buy).

                                        I have previously spoken to Samsung customer service about purchasing unlocked, “international” phones (e.g., the new Galaxy Note 7) for use in the USA. They warned me that if service/repair was needed, the phone might have to be shipped overseas. AT&T would not support it. Then there is the issue of full bandwidth compatibility. My preliminary research shows that while there may be overlap and compatibility, often considerable, between GSM/LTE phones intended for various countries, one needs to be wary. When some bands are missing on some phones, could it be a problem in “fringe” reception areas and/or when traveling between cells?

                                        That said, according to the website http://willmyphonework.net/ most Tab S2 LTE versions (both screen sizes) SHOULD theoretically work on the AT&T network for 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE bandwidths. But as you point out, that connectivity is probably intended for Internet and texting capabilities, when Wi-Fi is not available, and not specifically for cell phone use per se.

                                        Yet some people online claim to be having little or no problem using an S2 as a phone. Some say you can just pop in your AT&T-compatible Sim. But you are saying it is not that simple, and I believe you.

                                        Clearly the US carriers do NOT want to encourage people to use tablets as phones (as may be happening increasingly more frequently in other countries). For obvious reasons they want you to buy two devices and, more importantly, two service plans.

                                        Bottom line: Do you think that if I am (a) in a strong cell phone service area (urban parts of California) almost all the time; (b) willing to exclusively use an external earpiece/microphone; (c) OK with sacrificing some innovative phone-specific-related apps (what might they be?), performance (compared to the latest phones), and convenient portability; and (d) planning to stay with AT&T, I should be able to use an LTE Tab S2 in place of my standard smartphone?

                                        I’d be glad to hear from any and all people who have successfully transitioned to using a Tab S2 (or other tablet) as a phone in the USA. How did you do it? What service are you using? What steps and accessories did you have to employ? Did you have to unlock or “root” the Tab S2 in order to add necessary software? What Android version is best (for cell phone use)—the original Lollypop or the newer Marshmallow? (I am still only using Jelly Bean on my old cell phone.) Et cetera…

                                        Thanks.

                                        PS – If I were to get a Tab S2, in order to slow the inevitable obsolescence I would also want a 64GB version that accepts a 256GB microSD card. But that scenario doesn’t seem to exist yet in an LTE version Tab S2 (just in Wi-Fi-only models), right? I notice that Samsung seems to be “dumping” its stockpile of 32GB Tab S2 models (offering online sales). Is this in preparation for an upgrade in hardware?

                                        And then I would still have the decision of whether to choose an 8- or 9.7-inch version--topic for another day.
