[Galaxy Tab S General] Eddie Hicks:
Thank you very much for that tip. That's one small issue resolved. I just changed it to always on. I doubt that it uses much power.
[Galaxy Tab S General] urself25:
I too went the TF201 way when it came out and regretted it for the past 2 years. I had decided to buy the Tab Pro to replace my TF201 because I was tired of the lag and the poor wifi range and some bluetooth issues when streaming Netflix at the same time. I bought my Tab Pro in May and when the Tab S was announce in June I was able to return it and pre-order the Tab S instead. I no regular Joe but I'm no developer either. Comparde to my TF201 the Tab S is much more faster. Had a small issue with bluetooth again. Was not able to connect any paired opr unpaired device with my Tab S anymore. I had to reset the device and everything works fine now.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Eddie Hicks:
I had my TF201 for a short time. The TF700 came out not long after the TF201. I'm surprised you put up with the 201 for so long. To me it was a piece of junk.
[Galaxy Tab S General] urself25:
The return policy of where I bought it was not that great and I initally tought that it was MY wifi router that was not strong enough. But after i bought 2 1000mW wifi booster, I finally accepted that it was the tablet and not my house that was the problem. I worked around it's defieciencies, using my phone in areas of my house where I was not able to get signal and in April of this year I decided to finally sell it and go with Samsung. No regrets ever since.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
The wifi performance on this 10.5 seems exceptionally strong.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Eddie Hicks:
It's the best I have seen in a tablet. I can sit in my yard over 100 feet behind my house and watch movies. But I also have a Netgear R 7000 router that is a monster.
[Galaxy Tab S General] theotherkindofcouger:
Ok let me preface this by saying, I am a moderate hacker and maker from the days when you could call Hong Kong for free by singing specific notes into a payphone. The new stuff I am still learning.

Here is what I know so far....

- Not quite half of the 16 gig of storage is taken up with preloaded apps you can not delete or move to an sd card (it will accept a 128 gig sd card.) Some of these are productivity apps like Evernote. I installed Pro Office suite (74+ Mg) and was disappointed that it would not move.

+ Snappy. The 3 Gig of ram makes a hugh difference in loading large programs and docs quickly.

+ Pretty. The amazing display is the biggest battery drain, but the lowest resolution setting is still great for everything productive and not quite doubles battery life. Keeping it on the lowest setting has me at 76% remaining battery power after 7.5 hours of running the internet connection thru blue tooth while installing apps, reading docs/web pages, watching TV shows like Bones. Having it on the highest setting had me at 45% after 6ish hours of running the internet connection thru blue tooth while watching TV.

+ Bluetooth tethering is supported by the device so all the apps (so far) that ask to use wifi will not know your using bluetooth. I returned a couple of other devices because with out that native support the app tries to force you to turn on wifi thus alerting your carrier that you are tethering without paying extra. With the built in support, you agree to the app using wifi but the GTS 8.4 routes it through the bluetooth tether so the app does not know wifi is off and works fine. Again this is an out of the box, apps from play store discussion. For me this was HUGH because I have an old unlimited data plan from Verizon running thru a rooted Droid X.

- Annoying for me... Samsung has replaced the menu key with a task manager screen allowing you to switch between apps quickly. The functions normally available from the menu button are scattered if available at all. I am sure I will eventually hunt the functions down but right now GRRRRRR.

Choppy humm... I am not an expert by any means but did anyone correlate problems by provider and type?? I did notice far more buffer lag using my AT&T wifi hotspot (4g) VS AT&T wifi from B&N (land connect.) Equal signal strength. I definitely think ya'll are on to something with the focus on wifi. Bluetooth tether to my rooted Droid X (3g) worked the best. Throttling meant I had to put the phones browser to amazons' tablet page and click on a different link in line up of fire products to bring the speed back up about once an hour.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
I believe that just holding down the task manager button on your screen activates the menu for the home screen or the app you are in. Try it. :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] kurosawa79:
I had a choice between the tab s or tab pro 8.4 and initially I was edging towards the s. The I found out that the s uses exynos and worse still, coupled with the Mali gpu, which while an ok setup the development for it is next to non existent. I know that your avg Joe does not care about root recoveries xposed aosp etc, but for you guys that frequent xda I'm curious as to why you opted for the s? The processor is marginally faster at certain tasks vs the snapdragon, it has a gig more ram....and that's about it. But you will likely never get aosp based Rom on the tab s and dev will be super slow. I opted for the pro in the end because of the above. Curious for you xda nuts....why s over pro????
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Dev is accelerating as we speak. We now have root, recovery, a kernel, 3 roms in progress and work on porting CM.

But other than that the obvious reason to go S is the super amoled screen. LCD simply cannot compete.
[Galaxy Tab S General] kurosawa79:
Both screens looked the same to me in the shop, I really think it's a preference thing. Amoled seemed a little more vibrant and led a bit more subdued. I'm not a fan of Samsung's oversaturation in general but each to their own. I don't think it's really about not being able to compete...

AMOLED displays are dimmer than LCD displays, which affects outdoor visibility, also even tho AMOLED has awesome blacks, it has very bad whites, because using a combination of RGB is really dificult to produce white light, while LCD display, although blacks are kinda greyish, can produce much whiter whites. You've then also got the problem with AMOLED burn in and unnatural colors, especially with Samsung's traditionally bad calibration efforts (I.e. the more vibrant the better, despite things not looking natural)

Then again, screen tech I would never take into consideration when choosing a phone or a tab. Most high end equipment nowadays, led or amoled have decent screens. Dev environment is way more important for me.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Well the screen technology in the Tab S is the same as the S5 and is a major leap forward over previous attempts at amoled. For me there simply is no substitute for the black levels (especially with text) achieved with the Tab S over the Pro line. As far as whites, my whites are perfectly acceptable to me. I measured a photo of my screen using my PC and it measured 255.255.255, i.e., perfect white. The screen is also very bright. When i looked at the Pro and S side by side in the store there was no comparison. The S was clearly superior.

But if you like the Pro better that's all good. It's cheaper and has more development.
[Galaxy Tab S General] username243:
I would consider myself an average user and I love this tablet. I do not experience any lag but the first thing I did was install a new launcher. I don't go over the technical specifications of screens, but I go by the eyeball test and the S won. Long story short, but I ended up with $350 in Aamazon credit due to some of their screw ups. I decided to go for this tablet since it was only $50 out of pocket. Soon I will try my hand at rooting.
[Galaxy Tab S General] pibach:
Main advantage I see is less parallax, display layer is closer to the surface. That just feels more natural. Also less reflections and outdoor readability should be improved (would welcome a side by side comparison)
[Galaxy Tab S General] ScoopyDoopy:
Thanks for this!

For me, one of the things that makes android so consistent is the fact that you can always find the options to something by pressing the same button. I thought Samsung or Google had removed this.

I do find it odd that so many features are hidden away somewhere and people don´t find them. e.g. Long press on the icons in the notification bar take you straight to the relevant settings page. Who would have guessed that :)

My 2c on the 8.4 while I´m here.

No lag at all, anywhere, incredibly fast, beautiful screen, great device.

Battery a little annoying so far. I find that power loss while idling is awful whereas turning wifi off makes it perfect. I set wifi to turn off while sleeping but it still gets turned on all through the night but I´ll fix that eventually I guess. In use though, battery life is pretty good.

My third generation iPad can be off for days and days without losing much power, my Samsung galaxy s3 phone used to be as bad as the tab S but is now fine so I fully expect to have the battery concerns gone in the near future.

Great tablet.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Depending upon your needs there are now two 8.4 roms in development which should improve your experience even further. A Touchwiz based rom by a developer known for his theming and a CM based rom which will trim out all Touchwiz exclusive features such as multiwindow and sidesync but which will be very very fast. You can find those in development. Always make sure you are flashing the correct rom for your device and country. If in doubt ask and be patient. $400 paperweights suck.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ScoopyDoopy:
Thanks again. I have been following the relevant threads and am impressed with the development. I have been rooting devices for some years so am familiar with and agree with your cautionary tone. I'll probably root the tab s some time if only to clear out the bloatware but have to admit that at the moment it is pretty damn food as it is !
[Galaxy Tab S General] le0.br4zuc4:
I have a couple of tablet myself. iPad mini, Nexus 7, Tab S. I've had many tablet from Asus to Sony and I never liked a tablet as much as I like my Tab S. Battery life could use some improvements but the tab is amazing.
[Galaxy Tab S General] UpInTheAir:
Yeah. It's an amazing tab. With a few firmware updates I'm sure it'll be even better :)

I don't think anyone should be disappointed with battery life. Not the best, not the worst. .... But what does anyone expect from such a thin device and screen resolution ? Samsung could added an extra mm in thickness giving that extra capacity, but the current design is one of its many advertised features ;)
[Galaxy Tab S General] theotherkindofcouger:
Where would I find information about the ROMs? As a novice, I am hesitant because of the paper weight possibility. Is there a forum for locating someone I could pay to root and rom this tab s?
[Galaxy Tab S General] kenkiller:
Seriously, if you need to pay someone to root/rom it, you better not.

For sure there will be more "problems" or updates down the road that you will have to deal with.
[Galaxy Tab S General] UpInTheAir:
$1000 bucks lol

Read and research until your eyes bleed, then you might be ready. Expanding your knowledge would be of obvious benefit in the long run, and save your device (and nerves) a world of hurt. It's not difficult, we've all been there about to flash our new toy.

Exactly this.
[Galaxy Tab S General] theotherkindofcouger:


That's just silly. I've had a rooted Droid X for years. The full point of having clockwork is to back it up so you can (software) break it and restore to fix it. Throw in an OtterBox and it is almost bullet proof. I have lost count of the amount of garbage the Play Store has pushed to my my phone that I have been able to eliminate through trial and error. god bless clockwork

Decades of Microsoft updates breaking what I want to use have convinced me that as long as you can bomb a device of any kind back to its original incarnation everything is gravy. I have rarely found an update I had to have. Most of the time they kill really useful features and give you BS candy in that place. There is always another way to achieve the supposedly needed security flaw protection.
[Galaxy Tab S General] davedfx:
I had an Ipad Mini 1. Sold it after a month. Can't play HD videos smooth. Can't play many formats. Too much Apple restrictions. Expensive and no telephony features.

Owned Note 1, Note 2, Galaxy Mega 6.3 . Wanted bigger screens

Bought 7 inch China Ulefone 7" octacore dual sim. Very nice for the price but still wanted a bigger screen :) No capacitive backlight is a bummer

Tried 10 inch China phablets, way too big!!!

Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. LTE. It's a very nice tablet when it's rooted. Was my main phablet for the last few months.

Galaxy Tab s 8.4 LTE. Was satisfied with my 8.4 pro until i saw it in person:) The screen, the slimmness and better build. Smaller size while retaining the same screen size. Just bought it and hope this baby will rock once i root this.

Main wish for this tablet is to have dual sim

Anyone else have troubles connecting via usb with windows 7. I enabled developer options and turned on and off usb debugging. Tried a few different sets of usb drivers from LG and still can't get it to show up in windows explorer. It makes the usb BEEP when connected and doesn't show any errors in Device manager but just won't show up to browse files. Any ideas? BTW I have a GS5 and HTC M8 and they boh connect to this same computer. Not the G3 though. Go figure.

[Moto X Q&A] dgross1123:
someone told me it is possible to jtag my moto x runnong 4.4.2 in order to make it a dev edition , but said tht after i would not recevie any updtae which is fine ............is this possible and if so could someone direct me on how to or refer me to site tht tells me how :confused:
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
I have not heard of that.

Besides the physical appearance, when it comes to the difference between the "Developer Edition" and Retail or Moto Maker edition, the only difference is unlocking the bootloader on the Dev Edition doesn't void the warranty, but on the "non-Dev" it does void the warranty.

For the most part, Motorola gives the bootloader unlock code away for free on their web site, along with the instructions to unlock. The exception being in the case of a few carriers like ATT, Verizon and Republic Wireless, where for what appears to be carrier requirements, they do NOT give out the code.

If you have ATT, VZW or Republic Wireless, and have an X built in 2014, see the China Middle Man is back thread in the general section about getting a bootloader unlock code from the only way possible at this time. But yes, it does void the warranty
[Moto X Q&A] dgross1123:
thank you for your response I do know that the unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty but again I ask is there any way to JTAG in order to unlock for att or verizonhas anyone looked into that and how reliable are the Chinese middleman for unlocking the bootloader
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
I have seen NOTHING on using JTAG to unlock the bootloader on the Moto X.

Since its release, the only way to UNLOCK the Bootloader on the X has been to get the unlock code.

How reliable is the middle man? Just read that thread. If the build date on your phone is 2014, you will likely be able to get a code. The middle man doesn't have "real time access" to the database containing the unlock codes, so if your phone was built a week ago, you might have to wait. As long as you meet those conditions, you'll likely get your code. In cases where the middle man didn't have the code, he's refunded the money.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatCat0:
I currently have NC2, which supposedly has some security advantages over NC4 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2727876). Does this mean I should not upgrade beyond NC2 or just not take an OTA update beyond NC2, and deodexed stuff posted by reputable people here are okay to flash? Also I vaguely remember having to put NC4 bands or kernel or something in when I updated to NC2 (NC4 was already out at the time). Is there an equivalent for NC5 that should be updated, regardless of whether I stay with NC2 or not?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K03WL3R:
If you're already on NC2 I wouldn't take any OTA. And yes, roms are safe to flash.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatCat0:
I know roms are fine. I am having an issue because I would like to use a rom which doesn't interface with NC2.

I think my confusion comes from the term OTA. That means "Over The Air", as in "sent directly from Verizon to my phone", correct? I know not to accept the verizon updates. Is this a rom update and not firmware at all? Or at least it won't remove any capability from having NC2 installed http://galaxys4root.com/verizon-gal...c5-root-for-verizon-galaxy-s4-mdk-bootloader/

Is it just the baseband that I don't want to update beyond NC2?

I'm sorry, the different terminology is a little confusing and I don't want to do something that restricts the functionality of my phone and can't be undone.

By the way, my concern over this issue stems from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2727876

So whatever he's talking about there is that to which I'm referring here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinstre11:
The Verizon OTA update is a firmware update. The difference between NC2 & NC4 is that the first was a leaked non-official bootloader. The benefits that came along with it were the ability to flash backwards to previous bootloaders, and some unique possibilities related to the kernel. Once on NC4 you cannot flash backwards, but the NC2 kernel can be flashed on top of the NC4 bootloader so that it retains all the benefits of NC2 except the ability to go back from kitkat to jellybean.

NC5, which you have provided a link to is an S4 firmware, NC2/NC4 are Note 3 firmwares. If odin even let you flash the NC5 tar it would at the very least soft brick your phone.

I would say that unless you want to go back to jellybean at some point there is no reason not to be on the NC4 bootloader with NC2 kernel as NC4 is the official bootloader, however the opinions across the forums may vary. What is clear is that taking any OTA update is unwise if you want to maintain root access to your phone. This community is full of developers that dedicate their time to providing us with a way to keep our phones as close to the way we want them as possible, for without them we would be on our own and many of us would never experience the possibilities. Thank God for devs.

I hope this helped. :cowboy:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatCat0:
Whoops, yeah somehow I ended up there and assumed I was on the galaxynote3 variant of that website and didn't notice. This explains why when I searched the note3 forums for NC5 I got no results! This also explains why Hyperdrive 17.1 doesn't load on my phone! Man, I just lost almost two days because I ended up in the wrong Hyperdrive topic.

Thanks for the help! One last question (I just want to make sure that I have all of this right): If I want to move to NC4, I can take, for example, a deodexed version of the NC4 ROM, flash that in Safestrap, then find an NC4 bootloader and install that via odin? Or do I not need to do the bootloader step?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinstre11:
If you want to go fully to NC4 you need to flash the stock tar via odin. File can be found here.

The NC4 rom found here, however this is not the firmware for the bootloader. It can be flashed on the NC2 bootloader.

The first link is the firmware for the NC4 bootloader, the second link is a stock rom and instructions on how to get the NC2 kernel with either NC2 or NC4 bootloaders.
