I have the same problem. I think it is a software bug and hopefully they release an update that will take care of this. I read at another forum that a lot of people have this trouble. I have my second tab 7 plus and both had this problem so it is not a hardware problem but rather in the OS or Touchwiz UI.

I have found that a hard restart solves this. Plug it in and hold the Power button for 15 seconds or so and it should show a charging battery then press the power button again and it comes back up. This has happened to me several times and that fixed it for me. Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus 16GB

Having to force-reboot the tablet is not a solution. This is a big problem, that samsung needs to address. In the meantime I will be returning my tablet.

I have had a galaxy tab 7 plus for about a month. It goes in to the Death of Sleep about once a day where it seems to crash while in sleep mode. To wake it up, you have to hold the power button down for about 10 seconds to reboot. It is a widely reported problem in the forums. My tab 7 plus also reboots spontaniously, also reported in the forums. Samsung needs to address these problems. I am returning my 7 plus tab today.

The solution is actually to just backup your data and do a factory restore. I had that issue, and it seems to be resolved by factory restoring. It appears to be a corruption that can occur in 3.2 on our devices, maybe due to touchwiz, but rather than just ask a question, contact samsung support and submit a bug request. They can then try to track it down with log files.

answer 7

The dreaded and common Sleep of Death (SOD). Started happening after I upgraded to ICS. I downloaded an app called Auto Airplane mode by DON and it solved the problem, never had an SOD since. I believe it's ICS and Samsung's Touchwiz together with how Wifi is handled when it goes to sleep that causes a conflict and shuts down the tab. It's a small app that does not take up too much memory. Helps prolong battery life too.

ICS was released a couple of months back.

You'll need to connect the GT7Plus to Samsung Kies then select the option to update your device.

The software should automatically find the device and whether or not ICS is available for your device in your area.

If available, just download and install though it does take awhile for the entire upgrade process.

answer 3

I am having the same problem. A factory reset fixed it for awhile. After a second factory reset did not fix it when the battery drain returned, I figured out a few things:
1) battery drain is due to tablet not staying in deep sleep. (this is why Samsung's suggested fixes are not helpful...it's not the settings, it's a bug)
2) battery drain is related to wifi. With wifi off, the tablet will go to sleep and the normal long standby times return.
3) leaving wifi on, even during sleep, can slow the drain by allowing the tablet to go to sleep. If this is not working for you, try clearing the memory cache (do a search forinstructions on how to do this)
4) I have been unable to get rid of battery drain when wifi policy is set to automatically turn off during sleep (either "only when plugged in" or "never" on during sleep). I have done all the things that Samsung recommends in the link above, as well as uninstalling all apps and a host of other fixes. This is a bug that is clearly related to Samsung devices that got the ICS upgrade.

I did mine at the end of August 2012. Put Samsung Kies on your PC, hook the tablet up to USB, and go. My install was perfect, but it took a long time- over an hour, probably due to server demand. Do NOT interrupt the upgrade (like I almost did) if you have to leave it hooked up all night.

If you select Task Manager, one of the 2 tabs, is Active applications, Select that and then tap the X of each app you wish to stop.

If you want to remove an app entirely, you can do the on the Applications page you will find after you select Settings Menu (bottom right of main screen). If the app is bloatware you cannot remove it

Whoever ok'd that aspect of the Tab's design should be fired along, with the designer who put it there. They are both are idiots. It should be larger and also part of the About Screen, in settings.

Why can't I play videos in websites after ICS update?

Anytime I try to play a video embedded in a website after the Ice Cream Sandwich update it simply will not play. Then it will show a small blue lego block- looking symbol with a question mark on it. It seems to show this symbol with certain other animations in websites.

I tried the stock browser and the Dolphin browser and the same problem occurs.

I have double checked the content settings in the browsers as well.
