Hi all, we have just recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tablet 2 10.1 on Andriod ICS 4.0.4.

Everything is great except that when the tablet is left for any period of time longer than half an hour, it switches off completely; I.e to switch it back on, I am required to hold down the "On/Off" button for longer than 8 seconds. Then I am greeted with the start up screen. ("Samsung Galaxy 2 Tablet 10.1" pops up on the screen etc.).

Firstly, is this normal for everyone else's Tablet?

Secondly, if so am I the only one who thinks this is at odds with the idea of a tablet, i.e quick access and functionality.

Please take a second to let me know, and if it isn't normal can anyone with a solution please inform me!

Thank you.

 

Firstly, Thank you for taking the time to reply, it's much appreciated!

With regards to a power saving mode, there is such a thing but it is disabled on our tablet.

I already have kies on my laptop due to my wife owning a Galaxy S phone. So the tablet has already been checked for updates, of which there are none.

A factory reset might be an option I suppose, so I'll give that a try and see if it still happens afterwards, if it does I guess it will be going back to the shops!
