[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolandhsu23:
I couldn't decide which one to get either. So I got both!

The tab pro 8.4 will be arriving tonight and I'll be playing with both and I will decide which one to keep and return the other.

If there's anything someone wants me to check specifically I'll be more than willing and I will report back.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gottahavit:
Doing same but pretty much decided on tab s. One thing missing on tab s is the floating multi window, hopefully we get that at some point. Other than that tab pro has better battery life, maybe a hair better performance. Tab s has the screen, the size, the great Samsung case, oh and dud I mention the screen? :D
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncguy68:
Would like to see how battery life compares while browsing, reading and doing non-video tasks.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will6316:
I had the tab pro 8.4 . BTW I sold it for the s 8.4. To me in real world test. The pro 8.4 has snappier performance. The screen and the super thin slate is the major selling point on the S models. Unless the 8 cores are unlocked I don't think this can outperform the SD 800. The WiFi seems better on the S model also.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gottahavit:
Not much comparison, the pro gets at least 25% more time surfing and reading. I would say the Tab s is about comparable with the LG GPad 8.3
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
I would have gotten the 8.4 as well. That screen looks even better due two the higher DPI. But I really enjoy reading webpages in portrait and with the 8.4 text was just too small. Bummer. Love the 8.4 weight and form factor.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gottahavit:
Same problem, but I just bump text size up a notch in the browser
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 30Seconds:
How are you all finding the difference in the displays on the tab pro 8.4 vs. the galaxy s 8.4?

Sure the Amoled has better color saturation, but isn't the overall resolution on the tab pro better as it is not pentile? I bought the Galaxy S 8.4 and am slightly disappointed and wonder if I should have bought the pro 8.4.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gottahavit:
I was concerned about the pentile, side by side with the pro there is no sharpness difference. The rez is so high and the new pentile so good, it's unnoticeable. The only thing I'll say is the whites are not as true as the pro, but all other colors are magnificent.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolandhsu23:
So I just got the pro 8.4 and I can already say it's faster than the Tab S. The screen on the S is definitely superior though. Having both tablets side by side you can tell the difference, but I will say that the tab pro is still really good and it has more natural colors especially evident in pictures. For movies though, the tab s is unreal!

Performance wise I really like the tab pro more. On picture heavy sites it's very noticeable, everything loads faster and feels snappier. I'm really thinking about keeping the pro right now.

I will give it a few more days to test out battery life and other things before I make a decision.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncguy68:
I have the Gpad and it often doesn't make it through a day. It often only gets 5-6 hours of screen on time.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gottahavit:
That seems a little short, but I'd say 7 or 8 hours screen time is about right depending on what you're doing. I think that's about what was quoted for the tab s unless your playing video.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will6316:
Just rooted a couple hours ago. Froze and uninstalled some apps. Added Xposed and Gravity box. And this thing flies. Battery life still is not good as the pro 8.4 overall.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolandhsu23:
*update

Doing some video tests. I'm playing the Uncharted 4 e3 trailer which is 1080p 60fps and I can tell that the Tab S is dropping frames while the Tab Pro runs through super smooth. I am using the same stock video player and playing it side by side, it's noticeable. I'm thinking its the weak gpu on the Exynos 5. Also, the S has a bit too much saturation in color making it look off when compared to the Pro.

So far I'm really thinking of returning the S and keeping the Pro, I will still test more though.

I can keep updating my findings if people want.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rurigokou:
You must not have somthing set correctly I downloaded the trailer 1080p 60fsp and it is as smooth as butter in the stock video player and mx player the only way I way able to reproduce frame drop was by streaming in any browser using html5 video player, and it looked greate.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolandhsu23:
Are you using the 10.5 Tab S? I have the 8.4 and it lags for me. Looking at other threads it seems lag is a problem with the 8.4 S mainly.

Since they both have the same hardware I'm hoping it's just a simple software/firmware update that will fix the issue.

After some more testing I really can't get away from the screen and weight of the the Tab S. Having both the Pro and S available to me, I always keep reaching for the S even though it lags. The weight really makes it easier to use for long periods. The battery life for browsing is not as good as the Pro but the wifi signal strength is better (and the Pro does have the issue with holding it on the bottom left in portrait and weak signal).

More testing to come, but the Tab S has won me back.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
The #1 benefit of the S Model over the Pro Model IMHO is DEEPER BLACKS. If like me, gray text annoys you to no end, the S Model is worth the extra expense. If gray text doesn't bother you at all, the Pro Model may be just fine and is MUCH cheaper.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritchea:
That helps me even though I didn't buy the S. That's the one reason I'm looking to supplement my N7.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drunkengarbagecan:
If you want an S, my local BB stores already had open box 8.4 and 10.1.

I bought a 8.4 S and am taking it back. Will wait for price drop on S or new Note

BB still has the Pro for $249, but they are not suppose to display them per the Samsung guys at my store
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fun_key:
Hello

My tytn require a quite large amount of time to wake up and I was wondering if I was the only one in this case.

It may require from 2 to 4 seconds to recover from standby; I tried to phone myself and it took about one or 2 "tuuuut" (sorry, no better english translation for that word =)) before the phone began to ring; this is quite anoying because I have to answer very fast in order not to miss call.

The virtual keyboard used for inputing the code is also getting on my nerv; most of the time it start with the landscape layout (without any reason) and it take 2 sec to adjust to the portrait layout; during that time it is hard for me to input my code correctly because the size of the key is changing.

So, 2-4 seconds for waking up plus 2 seconds for keyboard adjustement is in my opinion quite slow. Am I the only one experiencing this? Are there fixes out there?

I also have some trouble with notification; it wake the device up! If the device is not password protected (only after 15 minutes on my phone) it start most of the time PIE (because of the hardware button). All this lead so to my second question: Is there a way not to wake up the device (at least the input) in order to avoid unwanted press on the hardwares buttons.

Thank you in advance !
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
Settings -> System -> Key Lock -> When device is off: "Lock all buttons except Power button"
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fun_key:
Thanks for your fast answer, i ll give a try!

Concerning the screen orientation issue I found out that it is related to the HTC case magnet.

EDIT:

In fact it was already configured like this; the device is not waked up by the hardware buttons, but by the notifications.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lewcamino:
if you use the key lock you can avoid unwanted key presses. As for wake up times. I don't think anyone who has this device wants to admit that it takes to long cause they paid sooo much for it. However, I will admit that it does take a long time to wake up. I am comfortable saying this because its much like a turbo car, at first its not as fast as most naturally aspirated cars (turbo lag), then it blows their doors off. So it takes a couple seconds to wake up, then its faster then most other devices.

Later, Lew
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] g00nerz:
Agreed. Coming from standby I get two rings of the "Old Phone" ringtone before it goes to voice mail.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] LeoPheonix:
I am hoping that new firmware will resolve this issue - my wizard was certainly more responsive when i presses the poer button to bring it out of standby. This is furthur delayed by the fact that i keep scabbling around the top of the device for the power button insted of the side!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Puderzo:
This doesn't help with the particular problem. What I think fun_key is trying to say is that whenever he gets a notification (for example when he gets a new sms message or a notification for a meeting) the phone will come out of sleep mode, so the key lock setting for "when device is off" won't be in effect. Instead the device will be powered up and accepting all keypresses, like the IE / Messaging- buttons, not to mention any presses on the screen.

I too find this annoying, and wish there was a way to make the phone go back to sleep after showing me a notification, instead of waiting for the default sleep time to go by. There are programs out there that have this functionality (for example MortSaver) though, so my advice would be to use those.

- Pud.0
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fun_key:
thank for the mortsaver ip; i ll give a try!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] danprodan:
Have exactly the same problems as fun_key (power button, keyboard in landscape, etc), and I suspect most of other people do. The wizard was definitely more responsive.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jmerritt:
Hi team

I have the same issue, every time i turn my hermes on after its been off for more than say 30seconds it starts in landscape mode then switches to portraite mode, its driving me mad, at least i now know i am not the only person. maybe this will be fixed in the next rom update, fingers crossed aye :)

UPDATE: i also found this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=286552&highlight=standby+landscape

does anyone have any thoughts on his comments?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jmerritt:
I actually think that the reply in the thread i posted above is correct,

My Hermes is an IMATE JASJAM (same thing of course) and i use the original belt holder that came with it, it has two (2) magnets in it to keep the cover shut, when ever i get a msg and i pull it out of the case (turns on automatically to show me the msg) its always comes out in landscape mode.

I turned my phone on and passed the cover with magnet side down over the phone and sure enough as i did that the screen changed from portrait to landscape mode, thus confirming its the magnet that causes it and not a defect with the phone.

Hi guys I'm new to the z2 from HTC m8 just a question I've been looking around but not sure about something

I don't want to unlock my bootloader as I will loose xreallity ect am I right in saying we cannot root or flash a custom rom ect without unlocking the bootloader

If so I'll stick to stock for now lol

Oh and I've cleaned the ports as they was mucky and use a cotton bud but got the indicator a bit wet what's the best way to turn it white again

Thanks guys btw loving this phone over the m8

So unlocking bootloader doesn't loose xreallity ect
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] club968:
no, you won't lose it unless you flash. i've unlocked and rooted without the need to backup the ta partition. the only thing i felt the Z2 was missing was unobstructed use of the SD card....so rooting was all i needed. I feel the phone is now perfect.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2775411

Have a breeze through this thread

There may be some useful info in the FAQ section

The xreality loss is weridly device country or brand spesific, very odd so i cant tell much there, any old Fw before 402 you should have no loss if you unlock, i recomend backing up your TA partition before unlocking or rooting via locked bootloader

Edit-battery life for Z2 is amazing, 1d 2hr 38m on battery with 26% left with 3hrs of screen on time, (moderate usage)

I cant attach screenshots for somereason on a already posted post

3. Plug your Giga into your OTG

4. Now connect your internet

5.turn wifi off then back on.

I'm trying to implement the ability to get the FTV to sleep from an XBMC addon. Does anyone know if this is possible?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fireTVnews.com:
rbox discovered that sending the equivalent of a windows keyboard sleep key press causes the Fire Tv to sleep.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
I would like to point out, it's like a regular android phone sleeping. It's still awake and still responds to adb and whatnot. The light turns off, and the cpu might be downclocked a little, but that's about it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmerohueso:
Unfortunately, I don't have one of those media keyboards to check this, but can you tell from the XBMC log which keycode and/or command that's binding to? In the official keymap the sleep/power buttons just seem to call ActivateWindow(shutdownmenu) (showing the shutdown menu).

Edit: On second thought, it might be the FTV itself interpreting that button as kicking it into sleep mode, not a command from XBMC doing it.

Edit 2: Yup, think I've got it figured out. I'll test it out tonight.

Edit 3: Tested, working, and released.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jnhale98:
Earlier today I updated my rooted nexus 7 (2013) from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3, and then to 4.4.4 using the method described in this article
