[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmy0x52:
Hi All,

First - I'm new - but I did plenty of searching and found some similar problems, but nothing quite the same. Most are really old and this is with a newer Tab with ICS stock on it so most I felt didn't apply.

I just got a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 a week ago. I'm very happy with it except for one constant annoyance. Every morning after charging all night I have to hard reset the tablet. When I press the wake button I get the splash screen, but it's very sluggish and never responds. Sometimes I can swipe it away but the desktop never comes up.

I believe it to be something I've installed but I need some help to figure out what because of the troubleshooting steps I've taken. Here's what I've tried so far:

Factory Reset - after doing this and charging overnight this did *NOT* happen. *This leads me to believe that it's an installed app and not a hardware or OS issue*

After Factory Reset I tried restoring my apps manually instead of automatically via my Google account. No difference.

I was selective about what I restored - didn't just get EVERYTHING. Still no difference.

I am charging using the supplied cable and charger that came with the tablet

Wifi is on and there is a 16GB MicroSD card in the device every night.

I tried using a different launcher (both nova and apex) thinking it might be something conflicting with Samsung's SecLauncher but no improvement.

Since the issue I have rooted the device, but this same problem was happening both before and after. I believe I have a rogue process either memory leaking or eating CPU cycles that prevents me from even waking the device fully - and so far I can't figure out what it is. I have three questions for the group:

A) Any other new GTab 2 7.0 users with the same issue?

B) Is there an app I can run that polls my CPU/memory and running app usages to a text file every few minutes so that I can reboot and see what was going on right before I rebooted?

C) Any other info I can provide to help figure out WTF is going on?
