[Q] Samsung Device Backup Not Working - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I try to back up my tablet using Device Backup under Settings-Accounts-Samsung account, but it has a message at the bottom that says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" It has been like this for several days now. I don't think it has worked at all ever since I upgraded my Tab 2 7.0 GT-P3113 to Jelly Bean several days ago.

Never mind. I removed my Samsung account from my Tab and then added it to my Tab again. It seems to be working.

Samsung Kies Back Up Issue

I am running a completely stock Samsung Galaxy S II LTE SGH-I727R on Android 4.0.4 and the latest version of Kies. I started the back up process about 4 hours ago and it has yet to get passed the "Preparing..." screen. Is this a known issue, did I do something wrong, I don't know what to do! I am sending it in on warranty as I'm still in my first year and I wanted to back up everything prior to sending it in. Also, when doing the back up, I selected to back up everything. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium. Can anyone help me out?!

S Note sync no longer working on custom firmware

I recently flashed the N8000 LL3 4.1.2 build on my N8013. Now it seems that my S Note syncing is no longer working between my 10.1 and GN2. Is anyone else running a custom firmware having sync issues as well? Or is it possible I've run into some kind of glitch? I tried removing and re-adding my Samsung account in both devices but that didn't seem to make a difference.

I am having same issue since last week. But before this time I had on N8000 and N7000 custom firmware, without troubles.
This is really important for me. We have to figure where is the control. In a first approach it should be managed as the automatic updates, not available for "tunned" devices.
Just other point. At the moment you save something (picture or whatever) in the book for it, on the side of the N7000 it delete the book as soon as synchr.

[Q] Device restart time to time.

Hello,
yes, tab 7.7 (p6800) restarts time to time. Its very annoying because torrents stop downloading. 6 months ago I upgraded it from 3.2 to 4.0, but not via Kies . Other things work good. I used an official rom. It restarted 3 times yesterday.
Is this a hardware or software fault?
Did someone else have similar problem and solved it?
Thanks

Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 4.2.2 update?

Hmm... I just grabbed my P5113 tab and turned Wifi on and it immediately chimed software update in notifications and went away. So like anyone else, i was curious and went to manually check for a software update and in stead of getting the normal "you have the latest software version" blah blah blah, it said this
"Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later"
Now I can only assume this means the servers containing the update are at full capacity and aren't able to handle anymore concurrent connections. Meaning too many people are trying to pull the update?
Can anyone confirm this and is my assumption correct why i can't get it right now?
I'm seeing the same message. I haven't seen that one before. Fingers crossed!

There is a gt-p5113 4.2.2 showing up on sammobile so it looks like it's heading your way. You could always try Kies if you can't wait, or flash the one on Sammobile. I'm still waiting for the gt-p5110. Fingers crossed

Unfortunately, I now have the update on my GT-P5113.
What a major pile of crap. All of my carefully arranged Touchwiz pages? Cleared.
All of my purchased apps? Gone.
I'm used to that, since Samsung never bothered to update the US WiFi tabs to 4.1.2; the 4.1.1 release loses track of purchased apps when you reboot. For that release, I just had to reinstall them.
For this release? Nope. Purchased apps download, then the play store fails with error "-24". You can't have those back.
Oh, and of course, my root access is gone, so I can't remove the stray folders causing that "-24" error.
This isn't even a HALF baked update. Unless you're ready to factory reset afterwards and reinstall everything from scratch you may want to avoid it.
At this point, that's probably what I'm going to have to do.
Now to find out how I can get superuser access back. What fun.
hmmm that sucks man. sorry to hear, but that is strange about the purchaced apps as its account bound to your Gmail account. You should be able to just go and redownload them.
As for Root... I never had the need to root mine as i just used it for streaming my own content (video) to it and i already got 9-10 hours of streaming on 1 charge so stock was fine for me.
The thing is i was thinking or rooting to get 4.2.2 on it since you have to have 4.2.2 to screen mirror with allshare cast. I want to be able to run my slingplayer on my tab and screen mirror the slingplayer to my sammy smart tv. I can do it on my GS4 but the phone gets to hot trying to watch a 2-3 hour sporting event.

Yes, you can redownload. But you can't install them without removing the old copy of the application folders, which requires root. (You get a "-24" error from the play store when you try to install.
Oh, and they disappear again on the next restart.
AND it seems to restore a whole bunch of apps each restart, which then causes another mass download from the play store: Gmail, Books, Magazines, Movies, Music, Search, Plus, Hangouts, Kindle, Maps, Samsung Music Hub, Peel, Samsung Push Service, Talk Back, YouTube are all reverted on a restart.
This has not been good. As I said earlier, I may have to factory reset and start over. Maybe it'll be better starting fresh.
Hmm... I still can't pull it down. It is able to be had via Kies but I refuse to ever load that crap on my PC so I am stuck checking every few hours i guess.
I have updated my wife's GT-P5113 last night using Kies. Everything went smoothly. This one is as stock as it can be, not even root.
A factory reset got my problems completely sorted out. It's stable and seems to be running fine.
Apparently there was some kind of permissions problem in the per-user folder scheme but since I didn't know what they were supposed to be set to, I decided to bite the bullet and do the reset.
After that, and a long wait while it re-installed everything, it's working just fine now.
Yeah I got the download last night and all was fine no need to FDR for mine (though mine wasn't rooted) The thing i do not like is it went to a phone UI rather then the Tablet UI. I liked the notification area in the bottom right corner as to the top pull down like a phone. That i feel was a mistake in UI planning. Your hands normally are on the sides and to the bottom so it was more intuitive to get to the Notification area with your right thumb. Also the back button is now in the bottom center of the screen instead of the far left bottom where you could easily reach with your left thumb to go back.
Everything else is very familiar compared to my GS4 4.2.2 so that is good. Im not happy that there is no screen mirroring that came with 4.2.2 like it's on the GS4 and i even yanked all the APKs out from the GS4 and they won't install on the Tab 4.2.2 so it must be a framwork thing or system.ui maybe idk. all i know is im disappointed about this fact.
I still don't see the update on my P5113. Tried ota and kies, says 4.1.1 is the latest. Could it be that I'm in Canada? It's not rooted, totally stock. Any ideas?

Hi guys, I updated by KIES from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2. Mine is Tab2 10.1 GTP5113 USA WiFi 16 GB. Only problem is that can't turn device off... it reboots immediately after screen goes black... did a hard reset and still the same... then rooted to see if problem fix, but no luck... sometimes turn off sometimes not... next step could be install a custom Rom to see if I can fix the problem...
Wanted to know if somebody else faced this in past times or just in this new upgrade to 4.2.2? Or if somebody could give any ideas... maybe I'am missing something, maybe have to do or try something... I don't know..
Cheers

Hi @fgoyti for your location I don't think it is? I'm in Venezuela and I upgraded by KIES... unfortunately I got a problem... I described it in my previous post... Maybe you only have to try again.
Clean download and install of 4.2.2 yesterday. Went to settings, update software pushed the button and away it went.
Works great for me without any issues. I like it very much. Smooth and fast. On my Galaxy Tablet 2 7 GT-P3113.
I'm in Honolulu. Had to try three times before it started. Had to wait my turn I think !
My download was OTA from my GT-P3113 Galaxy 2 7 tried 3 times then download started. I went to sleep and when I woke up the new firmwar,4.2.2, was installed and running without my help. I am very happy as I said it works great, smooth, and fast.

Trying fixing turn off problem
Related my previous post... found original firmware 4.1.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704668 and flashed it.. now I have stock and Tab turns off normally... well, when try to update OTA got the pop up message "Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later"
Advice to who needs to flash stock 4.1.1 (for the reason it was): it happens to me... flashed following the post.. by ODIN with TAR but got an endless bootloop, the solution was going into recovery and do a Hard Reset wiping data and cache... then it booted normally. Maybe it happens because it was a downgrade... I don't know.
Hope nobody else got (and gets) the problem I faced when update to 4.2.2.
Now I'll try again to update by Kies to see if the problem persists... if yes then I'll get back to 4.1.1 and wait for OTA update...
Cheers

Hi @DrJoepa, did you upgrade by KIES or OTA? Appreciate your answer... :good:
Yeah i didn't have any issues at all, especially with turning on and off. I got it OTA and its been fine. Though it is a little laggy sometimes. I may just root it later anyway, but for now it's stable and pretty fast. Certainly faster then 4.1.1
Any news on the wi fi only version?
I just got the 4.2.2 update on my tab as well so far it's nice.

Can anyone tell me if Google Play Movies & TV works on the new 4.2.2 update?
It wouldn't work on any previous stock versions.. I don't want to jump back to Stock 4.2.2 from CM10.2 unless it works..

Only can tell you that app Google Pay Movies works but the service it's not available in my country... about Google TV I even don't have the app.
Now I ask you about CM10.2. It's Nightly, isn't? And how does it works?
I am considering installing it because of the problems I described in previous post... none the less I will try the installation OTA because I have tried twice with KIES and my problem that unable turn off the Tab is't fixed... sometimes does and sometimes not... ii's disgusting...
PD: I saw that CM10.2 it's 4.3 . Please @ingenious247 tell us how does it works...

I have had no issues with CM10.2, works great!

Unable to update past 3.2

Hi everyone,
I recently brought in my galaxy tab for repairs, the back was heating up and there were random reboots happening. When I got the tab back, they had apparently replaced the battery.
I noticed since I got it back, that the android firmware is not updating as it usually does when I do a factory reset, I had it always on 4.0 (I think). I also noticed since I got it back that there is more memory on it? Perhaps they changed the memory too...
When I try to manually check for updates it says there are no updates available.
My tab is stuck on gingerbread 3.2, and needless to say, does not operate as well as it should.
I wanted to get your opinion on this before I bring it back to futureshop.
I cannot even run some apps well without lagging and force closes. This shouldn't be stuck on 3.2 as far as I know.
It has been 3 days now and no update. I am installing Kies and apparently Kies cannot provide updates until after Oct 13th, due to server maintenance. I am hoping this is the issue...
I have no root or anything on my device.
