  1. Why isn't there an option to add multiple users? I thought this update was supposed to enable an option to create separate accounts for multiple users.

    1. For anyone interested. The GT-5113 has a newer update. The current is 4.2.2 MH2 and the new one is 4.2.2 MK3. Only problem that I can't do the update either OTA or Kies. Don't know why. Maybe someone can help.

    1. I too installed the 4.2.2 update and there is no user profiles option in settings menu. I thought that multiple user accounts was available with the 4.2.2 update?

  3. Since Samsung has determined that my purchasing their product (GT-P5113) 9 months ago is no longer a valuable relationship to them I will not disagree.
    Tablets 9 months old & I'm not entitled to;
    1. Premium Suite
    2. Mutiple user logons
    3. Any communication re recent upgrade to Android 4.2.2
    4. Corp. loyalty, even though my computer, phone, hdtv & tablet are SAMSUNG!
    I shall no longer purchase Samsung products. Shame really, they make some great lines.
