You can take a screenshot by pressing the volume down and the power button at the same time.

Since my update I’ve been having a red border, maybe 1/2 thick, that randomly will fash briefly. I don’t know if this has anything to do with the update. Besides a factory reset, is there away to uninstall software update??

My GT 2 7.0 just updated last night as well… AND NOW after choosing time/date it goes to the Google Account screen and every time says “unfortunately, google account cannot be loaded” (or similar, I don’t have it with me at the moment). But I CANNOT get past that screen.

Am I going to be stuck doing a factory reset? This really sucks and is bad programming. Not very impressed.

It updated from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 now it runs the same ics as my phone. The bookmarks are much better organized and it has a new keyboard which is cool. Haven’t found much else except my name shows up now on the lockscreen

I received the samesoftware update notice 2 days ago and did the update. I called Samsung tech support after noticing major changes and the customer service rep did not know anything about this and neither did anyone he asked. He gave me a tracking number and said someone from the remote tech dept. would contact me. I noticed 2 new apps, a new keyboard and some other updates. Did you get the same? I just want to be sure it came from Samsung.

Have not noticed any new features or performance enhancement. Do not know if this is a side effect of the update, but… If you dismiss a calendar event on the lock screen (assuming you have a PIN set), dismissing the event passes to the desktop where you can perform one or two activities before being sent back to the lock screen for the PIN. Looks like a security hole to me.

Browser did a lot of random closes, and accounts would stop syncing at random. Don’t know if the patch addressed this yet though…

Curious if you noticed anything new with the update? Performance? Software Enhancements? I just checked and no update being reported on my galaxy tab 2 7.
