[Q] My samsung galaxy tab 3 is soooooo slow

leyus · May 13, 2014

I just got good deal on samsung galaxy tab3. I paid only £69 for a new one, before I had HTC Flyer which my children killed after few years of using. I expected technology moved forward and samsung to be decent manufacturer however to my surprise this tablet is extremely slow. Way slower then my grandpa HTC Flyer ever was!

It is lagging so much that it takes to press it sometimes 7 times for a video to go to full screen not to mention anything else. On top of that sometimes it does turn itself off!!!

So what is a reason fro that and what should I do. Should I send it back get refund and add few extra £ for Nexus 7 (I got nexus 4 phone I am delighted with performance and smoothness and with most of it's aspects), or should I root it and get custom rom (but then warranty is not an option). Is it typical for those tablets or do I have faulty one?

Sounds like a bad build. Exchange for another

All tablets and phones are slow compared to computers. Remove the 2000 active widgets and 300 apps you loaded and try it clean.

I compared it to almost 3 year old tablet not to computer. Even comparing to my other android devices , sensation ajd nexus 4 its slow. You saying i should use pure system with internet icon while all other devices I got work perfect?

I dont get it.

Try to reset to factory setting, if not help just return and tell them what happen on your tab...

so slooooow

hi,
i have a t210r.
svelte 4.1 runs nice.
ditch all the superfluous stuff - do not mess with fusedlocation.apk.
then build it back up with better quality more sensible apps.
use sdmaid to clean it good every once in a while.
use rom toolbox or systemcleanup to kill snoopy and pointless recievers and auto starts.
sslauncher is a lot nicer than nova [no go]
and appcache cleaner widget on the desktop is a good thing.
for a low end tab it really isn't that bad.
nexus 7 sucks for one major reason, no sdcard slot.
i'm telling you, the cloud could go skynet any time

for play you only need play,login service, and services framework apks
oh, and chrome [the swirly rainbow one] is awful.
use the stock stock browser, firefox seems to do okay
and i absolutely love mxplayer.
bye

Hi
This device have just a dual core CPU 1.2 GHz!! and you must not attend very responsive performance on this device with android 4.1.
But I offer you factory reset or a suitable custom ROM.
Totally,you shouldn't compare a mid-range tab like this to another(already systems were very incomplex than now as performance was better and more responsive)
