1305373 2012-10-06 00:41:00 Having just purchased a Galaxy Tab2 I am wondering about battery care. At what stage of battery level do you charge it?.
Or doesn't it matter much?.

1305374 2012-10-06 01:10:00 General rule with Lithium batteries is just plug, charge, play. No real "special" care like NiCads. Just try not to leave it charging for days on end (eg more than 4-5) without a bit of discharge. Another thing is avoid letting them run too low (eg <5%), although some recommend running then completely dry from time to time. Not sure of the benefits on that tbh.

Apple's page gives a very good outline of how to maintain betteries www.apple.com

This is more of an in depth read but had a better explanation of battery care batteryuniversity.com

1305378 2012-10-06 03:56:00 Yes it will play.google.com 3ppbGxhLmZpcmVmb3giXQ.. most apps can be downloaded from the play store, there are some which aren't on the store and you have to get manually (swype for one) but most of the mainstream app's you'll need are on the store. Unless you are looking for something specialist that's where it will be. The Error Guy (14052)

Don't know if you are willing to try other browsers, but if you are, opera mobile (as opposed to opera mini) is extremely good I find. Also, for a much better keyboard, try hackers keyboard. It really is amazing on a 10 inch screen. Both opera and hackers are free :). Just search for them in the play store.

1305381 2012-10-06 04:56:00 Nick, I will give them a go. The word hackers is a bit off-putting though. LOL. Do you know of any Forums devoted to the Tab2?. Pato (2463)
