How to reflash Samsung Galaxy tab 2

Samsung

Multimedia and entertainment

There was little doubt that the Galaxy Tab will be good at multimedia functionality. Still, all the latest smartphones from the company do an excellent job of viewing unconverted video, and it would be surprising if the situation was different with the tablet. The Tab player is almost omnivorous. He is indifferent to codecs and containers, he only passed before.mov. But “Matryoshka” (MKV) was quite tough. over, the device even plays Full HD video (1080p), although from the point of view of resolution, there is no special sense in this. Ideal for viewing on the Galaxy Tab’s screen is 720p, which is close to the display resolution. After watching one or two films in this format, you won’t want to go back to less, the difference will be visible to the naked eye. Of course, the music player is also good. its interface is also slightly “combed” for a tablet, pop-up windows have appeared.

Another plus of the tablet is the built-in camera. Its resolution is only 3.2 MP, but the tablet does not pretend to replace the camera. The camera is more a means of taking notes than photographs of artistic value.

Organizer

One of the important questions from potential users of the device: how good is it as an organizer. If you use Google services, then, as expected, everything works fine. Contacts are synchronized almost instantly, mail goes to the tablet immediately upon arrival, and so on. Calendar synchronizes all created calendars, not just the main one, as in the case of using the “Google” Exchange server. And, as mentioned earlier, it is really convenient to work with it thanks to the large screen and resolution. But when it comes to syncing with Outlook, you can use the Samsung Kies utility. The program is multifunctional, it is also responsible for working with Samsung Apps, multimedia content, which makes it too heavy for a simple synchronization task. The best way to work is directly with the Exchange server, in version 2.2 its shortcomings are fixed, synchronization of not only mail and contacts, but also calendars is supported.

A tablet without an office is not a tablet, one of its tasks is precisely to perform the functions of a mobile office where it is inconvenient or does not want to take out a laptop. The Galaxy Tab comes preinstalled with the full version of the ThinkOffice utility, which fully supports working with MS Office documents, including the 2007 versions. There is reading and editing, the same program is used to view email attachments and PDF files.

The tablet has no problems with heavy files in this format, it opens them easily. But reading a full-size PDF-magazine is inconvenient, the screen is still too small. We have to enlarge individual sections and scroll. You can create an account to store documents on the ThinkOffice server.

Editing texts cannot be called 100% comfortable, the screen is still small. But the basic functions. to correct the text, change the formatting, etc. are quite available. Although typing large amounts of text is still not very convenient, and here we come close to the next point.

Book reading

Tablets, like no other devices, claim to compete with e-ink-based e-readers, and this function is one of the key ones for them. The Galaxy Tab comes with a proprietary reader preinstalled. Its interface is very similar to iBooks, and the flipping effects are similar.

The program understands the ePub format, books can be downloaded directly by the device browser or copied to the device memory via USB Mass Storage, and then imported. At the same time, no one forces the user to use this particular program, there are enough alternative “readers” in the Android Market.

Performance, games

The tablet is built on the basis of a Samsung processor with a frequency of 1 GHz, the same as in the Galaxy S. In combination with the new version of the operating system, the device’s performance is pleasantly surprising. However, this diagram speaks for itself. Also excellent in 3D.

There seems to be no task at the moment that the Galaxy Tab cannot handle due to its lack of performance. And it pleases.

Samsung Galaxy Tab is the first tablet on Android 2.2

Global changes in the interface

Desktop and main menu, it is also the Programs menu. Made in the same style as the Galaxy S. everything is bright and cute. New elements have appeared in the top drop-down menu: turning off GPS and auto-rotate the display, as well as adjusting the brightness, which is very convenient. At the bottom of the screen there is a kind of Dock, where you can add any two applications, and the central key is assigned to the menu. The number of desktops is configurable, there can be a maximum of nine. The rest of the interface repeats the Galaxy S.

It’s time to take stock. And not only for this particular device, but also for tablets based on Android in general. hardly anyone will dispute the statement that the Galaxy Tab is currently the most interesting representative in its class. How much are they all competitors to the iPad? So far, unfortunately, there are no competitors. There are a number of reasons for this.

Firstly, the system is really not yet fully adapted for use in tablets, it does not realize all the capabilities of the display and its resolution. Exactly the same applies to software manufacturers. their shifts towards interesting interfaces are still too small. However, I am glad that there is at least this, since in general, the interfaces of Android programs still have room to grow.

Secondly, manufacturers themselves do not have the opportunity to make money on content for their devices, unlike Apple, which seems to be able to give away iPads and iPhones for free, and still continue to make money. Therefore, do not expect knock-on for Android tablets. there will be none, at least not this or next year. For Samsung, Tab is an opportunity to showcase its technologies, demonstrate its potential.

Now for us consumers. Galaxy Tab will enter the market with an expected cost of 8500 hryvnia. This is undoubtedly a lot. but not transcendental. Let’s take a look at domestic for the 3G version of the iPad. They range from 850-1100 depending on the amount of memory. That is, roughly speaking, Tab will cost like a top-end iPad. Yes, Apple’s device is metallic, has a better display and is more readable in general and magazines in particular, plus more interesting content.

Tab, in turn, is more mobile, not tied to iTunes, less prone to mechanical damage and has warranty support. Of course, if the price were lower, it would be better. But comparing 499 for the iPad Wi-Fi 16 GB “there”, and 8500 hryvnia for the Galaxy Tab “here” is extremely incorrect. In any case, Samsung should be thanked for the fact that, on the one hand, the company showed how to make tablets on Android, and on the other hand, it encouraged Apple to change its own rules. The appearance of the VLC player on the iPad is more than certainly the merit of Tab, which is omnivorous in codecs and formats.

Application changes

A number of standard programs have received a major interface update. First of all, this is the Phone application, which in this case is more intended for working with contacts and replenishing the account than for calls, although such a scenario is naturally possible, more on that later. The interface of the Calendar application has also been updated, it has become much more convenient to work with it. In the Month view, you can see all the information at once with small announcements, and the current day in detail. There are also a number of interesting programs designed specifically for the Galaxy Tab, including some with local content. Unfortunately, they do not work in the current firmware version, but, according to the representative office, this will be fixed in the commercial version of the software.

Create and restore a backup of all user data and system software on Android.

Download the TitaniumBackup PRO 6.0.1.APK file and place it on the card or internal memory of the tablet.

Install the TitaniumBackup application, having previously allowed the installation of applications not from the Market. This can be done by checking the box in “Settings. Security. Unknown sources”.

Run the program and make a copy of all user data and system software (See step-by-step screenshots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).

Then save the TitaniumBackup folder to another medium (external memory card, hard drive).

To restore data, copy the saved TitaniumBackup folder back to the root of the card. Run the program and select the option to restore all software and data, after starting.

If you have nothing to save, then the item can be skipped!

Installing Drivers.

Install Samsung Kies or Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones x86 on a Windows 7 computer.

In my case, only after installing Samsung Kies, Odin3 was able to connect to the tablet. Therefore, I recommend that you install the program, and then close it and end all processes through the “Windows Task Manager”.

A TASK:

Update existing version of Android 4.0.3 operating system on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Model number GT-P5100.

You must first make a copy of all user data and system software for subsequent recovery on an updated system.

I draw your attention that these instructions and files are intended only for the GT-P5100 model (3G and Wi-Fi).

Everything you do with your device, you do at your own peril and risk.!

How to manually update Android version on a Samsung tablet

In today’s computing world, everything flows and changes with the speed of a mouse click. Software developers and manufacturers are trying to quickly fix bugs and “bugs”, but unfortunately for the Russian-speaking user, these updates appear (officially) with a long delay.

Tireless computer enthusiasts follow the release of new versions of computer programs and try to upload ready-made instructions and solutions for not yet adapted firmware to the Internet.

Each of us has bought and used any mobile or computer device, and knows that there are software errors, shortcomings, hidden “bugs” and shortcomings that can only be identified by using the device for some time.

Having purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet, I was happy and delighted with the capabilities and “features” of the device, but after a while, having calmed down from the new toy, I began to notice system “brakes”, inconvenient arrangement of operating system elements, missing functions in some programs and utilities.

As a rule, in subsequent updates, comments and errors have already been eliminated. Therefore, the desires of those who want to install the released updates, patches, “fixes” as soon as possible, I understand and support. However, you need to understand that without certain knowledge and skills, the firmware process can end with damage to the device.

This step-by-step instruction is intended for those who want to update the firmware as quickly as possible without understanding the process. For everyone else, a direct path to w3bsit3-dns.com.RU website and forum.

DECISION:

Getting ROOT rights in the tablet.

In order to make a copy of user and system data, TitaniumBackup needs to get ROOT access rights to system files. By default, the system works with limited rights to protect against damage and hacking.

Press the “Volume Up” button and the “Power On” button at the same time. The tablet will turn on and go into Download Mode, a warning will appear about possible problems during manual installation of applications and operating system.

To continue, press the “Volume down” button, to cancel and reboot, press “Volume up”.

Run the Odin3 program on a Windows computer and connect the tablet using a USB cable. In case of successful connection, in the Odin program, the ID: COM cell will turn yellow and the port number will appear.

Check the boxes only for “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time “, and then click the” PDA “button and specify the path to the file CF-Auto-Root-espresso10rf-espresso10rfxx-gtp5100.tar.md5, and then the” Start “button.

Upon completion of the firmware process, the window above the ID: COM cell will turn green and the text (succedd 1) will appear in the message logs.

The tablet will start to reboot and automatically set access rights, then reboot again and update the system.

Android version update

The flashing process is similar to the process of getting root rights, so see the screenshots above!

Switch to update download mode. Press the “Volume up” button and the “Power on” button at the same time.

Run the Odin3 program on your personal computer, connect the tablet, set the checkboxes only on “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time “, and then press the” PDA “button and specify the path to the file with the desired firmware, and then the” Start “button.

The update process will begin, which will last 15 minutes, upon completion, the tablet will reboot, after that you can disconnect the cable, this completes the firmware process.
