Jelly Bean time for the Samsung GALAXY Tab 2 7.0 in the Americas

0. phoneArena posted on 12 Jan 2013, 09:43

The Android 4.1.1 update for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 started to be pushed out last month globally and now, owners of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 in the Americas are the ones gleefully rubbing their hands in expectation after receiving the update to Jelly Bean; you can find the update either in Samsung Kies or by checking the settings under "About Tablet"...

I got the update this morning. I installed it and the first thing I noticed is that the tablet is more responsive.

It now has the status bar moved to the top of the UI and the 3 virtual buttons on the bottom were reordered: [Recent Apps], [Home], [Back]. On ICS they were in the opposite order.

I hadn't had time to examine it further.

I have a Galaxy and I love this thing. It was easy to understand and I love the interface. Here's the one I have on Amazon amzn.to/11hKZMa. If you're looking for a tablet you should check it out, I think it's very underrated.

I got the update. I don'like it very much. How do I go back ti ICS?

Updated this morning. It essentially killed my tablet. Used Kies, but now it will not access the SD card, although it shows it is there and how full it is. Cannont open gallery, or music, or movies. In order to uninstall an app, I have to select it, uninstall it, have it hang at uninstall, restart device and then go back to settings and uninstall the same app again. THEN it will uninstall. (When I updated the tablet gave the "nearly full" notification so I was trying to make room to see if that helped the lack of ability to actually use anything. Still nothing).

I hate the update. I no longer have my screenshot option, and i love my screenshots. How can I go back to ICS? I WANT MY ICS BACK!!!!!

I hate the update. Moved the back button so you now have to hunt for it. Used to be automatic, like my phone. They moved it to the middle like my 2 yr old LG. Kind of like moving the space bar on a keyboard. Used to be able to take screenshot, write on it and send it. Now.... take 2 hands to push 2 buttons, find it in gallery, send it to another app to write on it ( with less options). 1move to 3 moves. This option is why I bought this tablet. Today I tried the facebook app, but you now have to ho thru a Samsung app to get to it. Contacted Samsung who basically said it was Googles fault. Funny..... the picture of the google tablet has the back button still bottom left. Can't get used to settings at top at all. When an update used to pop up there was a clear button , which is Gone. How can they sell you 1 thing, then change it into something you wouldn't buy. Anyway.. still testing my new nonimproved thing!

I have notice about the screenshot button has gone.... I know how to take a screenshot now but I can't edit it any more.... please help me to edit it again....

thank you... =(

To edit screenshot. I have an app called Skitch. If course you now have to take 4 steps instead of the 1 easy step Samsung sold you. Take the shot, find it, if you have Skitch you can have it go to Skitch, edit it and send. It doesn't save it on your tablet unless you actually send it to yourself. This is why I bought Samsung over other Tablets. Used it everyday. Good luck.
