Thanks for answering me wditters.
The problem is after 36 minutes I'm still stuck in the "Surface" screeen with the circle turning. I don't know if I should restart the tablet or wait more.
You're right.Just turn it off manually and restart ... Firmware update already took place prior to the boot and optimization/recalibration only takes place after a full restart ...
Yes, Samsung has released a fix
