[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] phage80:
From what I have read about the Tab S, the screen is sadly pentile and while saturated color not very accurate, if mainly using for reading would look at it in person first to make sure you like how text renders on the screen.

One definite benefit it has over the Tab Pro though is the speakers are on different sides of the screen instead of both on the bottom.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] the_eclectic1:
I was afraid it might be pentile. Waiting to hear more from reviews. Though I had a nagging suspicion it was pentile, as Samsung said it was Super Amoled and not Super Amoled Plus [RGB sub pixel structure] which the Tab 7.7 had.

Speakers being on different sides would be good. Like the 10.5 & 12.2 Tabs.

Damn you Samsung. If you're going to do a superlative tablet, go all out and use Super Amoled Plus 2560x1600. It's more expensive tech. But you can charge more for it and it would justify the higher price for your target audience, especially photographers and people needing the larger color gamut and non-pentile display. And it wouldn't piss the TabPro buyers so much.

It's still a good tablet. Just that you might feel cheated if you had known it was coming so soon after TabPro 8.4. Esp if the price differential is small.

That would be unfortunate. I've had (still use, for other reasons) a pentile-screened Moto. Hate that aspect of it.

That said, I have several times knowingly bought expensive technology that was about to be replaced by a newer version simply because the several-month interval was worth it. Around ten years ago, knowing a $100 price break on what I was buying would happen in a month (and this was before refunds were feasible), and knowing that an improved version was three months away, I bought a $350 PDA. (That was a lot of money back then.) But having it was worth easily $10-$20 per DAY to me, so I viewed it as an annoyance but not a deal breaker.

Ask yourself these questions: would you notice the cost of two drinks at Starbucks a day? That's about $10/day. Yeah, we gripe at spending $2 on the Play Store for an app, but my typical martini or bourbon is $12/drink.

Would having the device now make you as much happier as those two coffees or one martini? (Or, put the other way, would you be discontented by unsatisfied desire without it?)

If so, get it now, because the opportunity cost is worth it.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Verbl Kint:
Bought the Tab Pro yesterday even if I knew the Tab S and Nexus 8 were coming. I figured the Tab S would be more expensive and the Nexus 8 would not be subsidized here in the Philippines.

I spoke to a retailer and he said that the Tab S would be at least US$100 more expensive and I would need to wait until mid July. Since I had a few trips out of town where I would need a tablet, I took the plunge and got the Tab Pro.

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

A great example of a super amoled screen would be the Note 3. Yes blacks are blacker and quite inky but other colors such as red and orange are overblown and unnatural. So while super amoled may be pretty and highly saturated the 8.4 Pro screen will look more like an actual printed magazine.

The biggest sacrifice of the Tab Pro screen is grayish blacks.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] skeetz77:
It would be better if the Tab S uses Super AMOLED Plus.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] the_eclectic1:
Agreed. But I'm not sure it's pentile till I read reviews on the display.

And is Pentile a bad thing?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] mitchellvii:
I have the 8.4 Pro and the Note 3 so I can clearly compare the super lcd vs super amoled. The best way to describe it is that looking at the super lcd is like looking at printing on quality magazine stock. While the super amoled really "pops" it doesn't look natural. Yes it would be great to have blacker blacks (something a simple gamma correction could fix if Android gave us that option) but the tradeoff of all other colors be overblown isn't worth it to me.

I'm sticking with the Pro and the extra $125 in my pocket.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] CrashTestDroid:
That's a factually inaccurate and/or ignorant assessment of the AMOLED technology which can easily be calibrated to reduce saturation. Nobody is forcing you to use Samsung's super-saturated "in-store demo" defaults.

After using a properly tuned, modern AMOLED you'll be ruined for lesser displays unless all your reading is under bright sunlit conditions where the perfect contrast doesn't matter.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] mitchellvii:
You are entitled to your opinion of course but I have seen the Galaxy S5 calibrated in every way available to normal users and the screen is over saturated. Now I could be an ass like yourself and say that makes your opinion ignorant but I wont. It is simply your opinion.

** Just watched a new video for the 8.4 S. Say what you want about proper calibration but that screen was BLEEDING with over saturation. I mean you simply do not see those colors in nature.

Amoled screen are like chicks with accents. At first its sexy but after a while it starts to get on your nerves :)

Tab S has more Ram too.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] dwd3885:
Ok so I went to Best Buy to look at the new Tab S. I have the Tab Pro 8.4. Long story short, they seem the same to me. I couldn't even tell the screen was any different. So I imagine unless you look side-by-side you won't be able to either. They didn't seem any faster. The Gravity movie pre-loaded was cool to see but it didn't look more amazing than on the Pros.

The 'S Finder' and 'Quick Connect' buttons are permanantly in the notification area too, next to brightness and sound. While you can remove the brightness and sound sliders, you can't remove the S Finder and Quick Connect buttons.

All in all, I was pretty excited to look at them, but you really don't need to upgrade at all to the S if you have a Pro. Not at all.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Alexpride:
I did notice some little differences when I compared the S to the pro, mainly the price difference was biggest difference between the two. But I wish the pro had the reading option like the S and Note 2014 tablets. If any one here isn't familiar with it, it's an option where the screen changes color when you reading a book, it kind of goes from white to tan.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] mitchellvii:
Wow I find this quite interesting as a super amoled screen should look quite a bit different than a super lcd. My greatest concern has been that the amoled colors in that large a format would simple be too much. I know everyone has a bad case or orange skin on my Note 3.

Were the blacks not blacker and the whites whiter?

I don't know why the Tab 8.4 Pro doesn't offer color profiles or reading mode like pretty much every other Samsung product does. Why did they leave that one feature off this tablet? Is that an amoled only feature?

wow... I got my tabpro 8.4 for around 220$ (199.- CHF) lucky me.

I really can say this tab gives me all I want. The display is amazing, I can't imagine something better - a pdf looks just like a printed paper and if you adjust the brightness to the highest level it destroys your eyes in the dark.

The CPU is capable of running @2.7GHz (at least mine does), the 2GB RAM are more than enough (we have a linux based OS here with a good memory management).

My Antutu score is around 38'000 (@2.4GHz) - I know that doesnt say much about daily usage but you can feel it.

If you replace Touchwiz with apex you won't see any stutters, just plain smooth (also set the animation scales to 0.5 in developer options)

Also the Hancom Office is amazing. the only thing I miss is the "S Planer Widget" I hate this Touchwiz replacement thingie...

I got my Tab Pro 8.4 in the Best Buy sale for $250 plus $50 gift card (plus the $25 Play store credit), so I can't complain about price. I love everything about it, EXCEPT the battery life. Everything else being equal, the Tab S appears to have significantly better battery life. In the Engadget review, it was something like 12 hours compared to 7 on the Pro. That's a HUGE difference! There is nothing worse than battery anxiety. But is it worth twice the price?

It was up and running, but having issues through out the day today. I read through the guide this evening and saw that it recommended wiping the delvic, I had not done that in the previous install so I went ahead, uninstalled the KK, wiped the delvic and re-installed. Now it wont boot at all. It just sits at the Samsung splash screen. It will not boot into stock or normal recovery. Knox is already tripped so im not worried about that. Can anyone help me fix this? All my data is backed up. I have tried reflashing via Odin with both KK and MJ roms. It will accept a MJ rom with appropriate PIT file, but will go to Samsung screen and show "starting recovery", then bootloop to the same. KK will not accept any flash, it will take the PIT file tough.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nzoka:
Is there a registry setting which can be modified to allow the phone to display:

1) Operator name as read from the phone (I guess it uses a lookup table and matches the name against a code sent from the cellsite)

instead of

2) Operator name stored in SIM card.

I am in Canada and using a FIDO SIM. My phone displays ROGERS (Currently the Fido parent company) and also the Roaming icon.

My spouses Treo 650 also using a FIDO SIM displays FIDO instead of ROGERS and also Roaming.

So my phone indicates the network name as well as the fact that my SIM is roaming on that network.

My spouses phone indicates her SIM card provider (FIDO) and the fact that her phone is Roaming.

In summary I would like to know if a registry setting exists to enable either of these behaviours.

Hi all.

its completly confuse...!!!

After flashing the snapshot m7 cm11 and reset to factory default from setting menu my device was bootloop or whatever its mean (stuck at acer logo) pawitp confirm it may damage from eMMC_bugs, but actually i cant investigate because i couldnt make adb from cable (a few months ago my device has been repaired from acer service center they do not have cable replacement parts inside the board, so i couldnt get adb working...!!! broken by the accident can't connect to pc, just only be used to recharge batteries)

actually my CWM 6.0.4.9 can still be accessed but the possibility that I know its a bugs or not worked properly for a701... its because restart accidentally when i try "wipe data/factory reset" its always auto restart before it done ...!!! same problem when i try to "format /data" through "mounts and storage" its always auto restart (no progress notification from cwm its just restart 1-2 second after i tried to execute...!!!)

The last possibilty that still might be able to do may to downgrade the cwm through the flashable "TEMPORARY CWM RWCOVERY" methode or RESTORE BACKUP (i dont have backup with me because the backup was erased by this error CWM 6.0.4.9) that no need to touch the "wipe data/factory reset" or "format /data" bug for this device.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] admiral licorice chaps:
I have been having issues where my phone have been freezing up at seemingly random times and then getting into a bootloop until i do a hard power off and turn it back on. I've attempted a clean reinstall of the ROM but no luck.

I was going to flash RUU but my USB port doesn't work for data anymore so fastboot is out. (I tried to use fastboot on 2 computers running Win 7/ 8.1 with a couple different USB cables)

Can anyone recommend any sort of troubleshooting solutions to get this ROM (or possibly a different 4.4 AOSP ROM) to run a bit more stable?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpaulien:
Hi, sorry, I don't have an answer necessarily, but I was having the same issue with OmniRom before I moved over to the new partition layout. One thing you might try, though, is going back to stock (or at least some Sense based Rom) and see if you can get ADB/Fastboot working on it then. I noticed that I wasn't able to get it working on AOSP Rom (I think it was PAC-Rom specifically) but when I restored back to my Initial Stock nandroid, I was able to do it (Run the RUU for new partitions). So give that a try before giving up.

But I also had the random freeze, and boot which could only be stopped by the simulated battery pull like you described, and then it would work. A couple times, I would just be using it and it would freeze. A couple other times I would pull it out of my pocked and it was sitting there with the little android dude sitting there in the circle, staring at me. One time I just left it there for a while, and noticed that it actually was booting (kind of) but super slowly. It would sit there for like a minute, and then the antennae would twitch a little, wait 3 seconds, twitch again, wait 3 seconds twitch again. It was like it was running on extreme slow motion on the boot animation. I don't know if it ever would have finished, given enough time, because I never gave it enough time.

Anyway, if anybody has ideas on why AOSP roms seem to do that, I'd appreciate it. Had a similar experience with PAC-Rom, on the old partitions, with random freezes that couldn't be recovered from.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] admiral licorice chaps:
Nah, installing a Sense ROM didn't work out for recognizing data over USB. I'm hesitant to flash RUU over wifi ADB (if thats even possible) because I wouldn't be able to use fastboot if something goes wrong.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpaulien:
That's good you didn't try it over wireless, because as part of the RUU process, it reboots to fastboot, and if all you had was a wireless connection at that point, the process would fail.

Hmmm.... I may be out of luck then. I'll just deal with the issues until a new Nexus phone is released (if one ever is).
