Battery dies when tablet is not being used

Purchased this first of July when they were released, getting the cover with it. Have enjoyed it for the most part.
Biggest pet peeve of late is dead battery. I will press the button on the side to shut it off in the morning (I don't power it down fully). If I happen to leave it in my knapsack I often start hearing the dreaded beep of low battery a few hours later -- while it has just been sitting in my bag -- not using it. A few weeks ago, encountered this when I had it sitting on my desk and had placed a notepad on it. Yesterday, had it inside its case, inside a soft-side tablet case -- made sure screen turned off before I put it inside. By early afternoon it was beeping and it hadn't been used since the morning.
There are days I do get to use it for several hours without a problem. Just extremely frustrating battery dies when I'm NOT using it. Tired of planning to use tablet during bus ride home at end of the day to find it has died while sitting idle. They claim 9 hours of battery life, but it will go from 100% battery to <5% in less than 8 hours of sitting idle in the bag.
Not sure if this is due to the cover design or what is happening. One would think that if you press the button to put the tablet to sleep, it should stay asleep until you press a button to wake it up.
Sometimes Internet pages freeze up. I've had the tablet 4 months it's good but overprice.
Pros: Bright display
Cons: expensive
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

major design problem with external memory

External memory is read only!? What does this mean? It means that you can see what is on the SD card but can't add any additional data. Samsung should have published this in the specs so that their customers would know what they were getting for their money. Had I known this, I would have looked elsewhere.
Pros: Bright display, vibrant color
Cons: Did not meet expectations, misrepresented, major design problem.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have really enjoyed my tablet until today. Yesterday l inadverdantly turned off the power to my modum. When l realized what happened and reconnected power the modum or tabled lost memory and l had no i ternet connection and could not, even using previous password, could connect to internet. Was told by isp problem was with tablrt. Contacted isp who could not connect without changing name and password. Now i cannot print. What must l do to correct print issue?
I bought this Tablet because my friend was visiting and she had one and loved it. I tried a few things on it and I was so impressed with how easy it is to use and the fabulous pictures it takes! I just got it today and it's all set up and ready to travel with me! I have so many things I want to do with it. It may take a while to get it exactly the way I want it, but after having it for 3 hours, I LOVE it!

i was impressed with the picture quality and effects. but very disappointed in the performance. very slow to do anything.any app has a lag to it. i have hardly anything on the tab that would be using up space and it is still slow.
