Almost brand new Samsung Tablet S9 FE.  Twice to Samsung in NJ and twice they say nothing is wrong in their messages.

On powerdown/startup or restart all icons disappear except those found on the app page.  I am able to restore from the Samsung Restore.

I shouldn't have to restore everytime I start this tablet.  VERY frustrating.  

And Samsung repair doesn't talk to me.  Twice sent this tablet in and twice I have gotten an email saying "No troubles found"  

I would beg to disagree with that.  I used to have a 2014 Samsung Tab4  10.1.  For ten years it worked without a flaw.  I can't say that for this S9 FE.  

And trying to get help is like beating my head against the wall.

I wish I knew how to get a new tablet or a refund. 

Before the unit was sent in the first time I was in contact with Samsung via chat.  We cleared the cache, rebooted and even did a factory reset.  Same old problem of disappearing icons.

When I received my tablet back it was set like a new unit and I had to do all the things you have to do when you initialize the new tablet.  

I got everything setup.  I put in NEW icons and did a NEW Samsung backup.  Guess what?  Powering down and then starting again all icons except those in the app page disappeared. 

This unit has to be defective.   I have never seen the likes of this before.
