Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Reboot WIFI Issue

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 from Verizon. 6 days later the tablet began rebooting uncontrolably. Verizon suggested I do a factory reset. I took it home, did a factory reset, and the tablet did not continue to reboot, but it refused to connect to my WIFI, which was working perfectly fine and was also the same WIFI that I had been connected to the first 6 days. I spoke to Samsung for over an hour. They suggested I return it. I returned it to Verizon, got a new one, and surprise surprise same problem. Anyone know what's going on or is having the same issue???

Hi! To those having a problem with stupid Samsung Galaxy 10.1 this is how you fix it. Turn the bloody thing off for at least 1 hour to let the battery cool down a bit. And after 1 hour turn it on again. That is how I fix mine from 2 weeks of frustrations. Till I gave in and turn it off. When I turn it on walah!!! So I hope it works with you guys! Good luck!

@lemartin68 My issue was not due to over using or a hot battery since the second tablet I got after I returned the first one was having the issue withing the 1st hour out of the box. I am glad the solution for your tablet was much easier though, although I would still be pissed if a $600+ piece of technology needed a "cool down" before a charge :)

You're not the only one who is having a head ache using this you said is a "piece of shit"? Yes, I believe you are right! This is really a PIECE of SHIT! Pardon my language..I have IPad2 but I never get any problem at all. Many advice is to return it to store where you bought it but mine unfortunately is from Dubai. So, it double SUCKS!! :(

@missterryify Hahaha I'm glad someone else thinks this tablet is a piece of shit because after I posted this is the heat of the moment I felt really bad for venting so harshly and using cuss words :P

i found the solution for this.. just restart your modem and delete all your wifi settings in your tablet..

@bluuur13 If that works for you that's great, but for $600+ I wouldn't expect to have to restart my modem every time I took my tablet out of the house. Maybe I'm just high maintenance :)

The only work around I have is to restart the home wireless modem/router. It always fixes the problem for me. But this reboot issue (don't think it does a reboot but just blacks out the screen for 15 - 20 secs) comes up sporadically. Sometimes, once in 2-3 days and sometimes 2-3 times a day even when it is connected to the wireless network.

@mrsinformed This is a great tablet! I bought this on Boxing Day and I haven't had a single fault with it, I love it :D

It's not a piece of shit, Samsung make a lot of the best products, the iPad is shit, the only good thing is there are slightly more decent apps but that doesn't bother me.

I've had the same problem again maybe once or twice but solved it in the same way. Beside that I don't have much more to complain about. I really love my tab.

@Toningue At the time the Tablet was the only device connected to the WiFi. I ended up returning it because I was still in my grace period where I would not get stuck with a contract or pay a restocking fee (although it took 3 phone calls to get all my money back). How is your Galaxy holding up today? I am curious how the new kindle with WiFi internet access performs...
