Gravitybox explicitly states to NOT use with Touchwiz based ROM's.

Have you tried it with good results?

Hi,

Android Version 4.2.2, Build No.KOT49LLS980ZVC, S/W Version LS980ZVC, On the keypad option LG keyboard, the "path input" option is missing. Tried Factory reset still unable to get that option. Any suggestion. O its a rooted device with 32GB storage
[Sprint LG G2] geeksmurf:
Use something to edit your build prop file, look for ime_trace_apply and ime_trace_menu and change both from false to true, save and reboot, should now have the option.
[Sprint LG G2] ad196511:
Appreciated geeeksmurf for your reply, since i am a newbie for these kind of edits, can you tell me how to access build prop file?
[Sprint LG G2] Ascertion:
Use an app like ROM Toolbox Lite to edit build.prop. Do a backup before messing with Build.Prop because if you change something incorrectly you can mess things up.

Been a real trip participating in the Verizon S4 forum since I got my S4 a year ago but now I am moving on to a G3 with T-Mobile. I could no longer ignore the cost difference between TMO and Verizon. Many thanks to all those helped me in these forums.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Sad to see you go but I can appreciate the cost savings. Wish tmo had good enough coverage around here for me to leave too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Coverage here in central Illinois about same between tmo and Verizon since we are here 95% of the time the decision was a bit easier. ..it was a difficult decision but Verizon wouldn't budge more than $10 a month reduction...almost insulting. On the other hand. ..took less than 15 min online chat for comcast to cut my Internet from $68/month to $29/month for 12 months. ..then to $49/month for 12 months. ...I also got dishnetworks to concede nearly $500 in savings for next 12 months between monthly plan cost and free ppv movies....

[Galaxy Tab S General] xdapao3:
OK, I don't know if it's "universal" or if there is something unique to my setup at play here but here it is: once you pair your Tab S on SideSync with a compatible device (a Note 3 in my case) via Wi-Fi

AND VIA Bluetooth

, after disconnecting the smartphone, BUT ONLY WHILE KEEPING THE BT ON on the tablet (and OFF on the smartphone), Wi-Fi speeds on the tablet crawl to almost a halt (and I noticed access points other than the one I am connected seem to ciclically appear/show less signal strenght/disappear...) The tablet is useless when it does like so.

Before I discovered where the issue was, I also performed a factory reset with no success.

Only solution I found (short of uninstalling SideSync, which I like a lot and do use often on my Note 3, Windows PC and now my Tab S) was simply turning the BT off. I was keeping the BT on my tab always on because if/when I turn it on on my Note 3 too they automatically establish call notification mirroring and when I launch SideSync on either device it automatically launches on the other too (normally you have to launch them on both devices)

Since I had no other reason to keep it always on on the tab, this is not too big a deal for me, especially since it is a bug in an app so eventually it will be fixed... The big deal was only the time wasted troubleshooting the issue and the time and effort spent re-setting my tablet up after the factory reset (many hours since I have a "rich" and complex setup and each time do go meticulously through each and every tab's and apps' settings... :mad: )

I was just about to send it back to Amazon as a faulty unit and get a new one...

BTW, when functioning normally the Wi-Fi is actually very good: fast and good reception.

Hope it helps anyone who may be banging his head on the wall for the same issue... LOL

P.S. This Tab is AWESOME, only things it needs for me are an S-Pen and bigger internal storage options... (and here in Europe it seems we can't even get the 32GB option GRRRRRR!)
[Galaxy Tab S General] BarryH_GEG:
The most recent update to SideSync added a new feature - notifications via BT. This isn't the same as directly connecting devices via SideSync through Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi direct. I found this out when I got a BT pairing request from my N3 after disconnecting it from SideSync over Wi-Fi. Once paired over BT, notifications from either device appear on the other. Also once paired the two devices connect automatically. I'm not experiencing any side effects in terms of Wi-Fi performance when the two devices are connected via BT.
[Galaxy Tab S General] xdapao3:
Yes, SideSync was updated with this feature practically the day I got my Tab S (a few days ago).

I was using SideSync with my Note 3 and my previous tablet, a Note Pro, with no issue at all, but that was pre-update...

Yes, extremely convenient. And that's why I was keeping my BT always on, on my Tab S...

Nope, like I wrote, it's not when they are connected that I experience the problem, it's AFTER disconnecting the Note 3 (by turning the BT off, AFTER having done at least a session of "normal" SideSync via Wi-Fi Direct) WHILE keeping the BT on on the Tab S.
[Galaxy Tab S General] BarryH_GEG:
I have a Gear so my N3 always has BT enabled. I use a BT keyboard, mouse, and pendant on my tablet so its BT is always on too. I'm guessing the "new" feature uses BT LE because I haven't noticed any battery drain on either of my devices. I think notifications via BT is kind of half-baked. It's not documented anywhere and if you unpair the devices both continually nag you to accept their mutual pairing codes. Let's see if anyone else chimes in with issues. I'd bet there will be another update to SideSync soon; probably with an explanation of the feature and the ability to disable it. SideSync's made by RSupport, one of Samsung's Korean cronies like Hancom and Polaris. Cool stuff but not at all perfect and certainly not well documented. When my N3 started nagging me with a pairing request from my tablet which was stowed in its bag I thought I was being hacked until I figured out SideSync was playing HAL.
[Galaxy Tab S General] xdapao3:
I agree, it's the first appearance of this feature and it's going to be refined over time and the fact that this new feature is not mentioned/explained anywhere (nor does it have any dedicated setting whatsoever) sure makes it feel like a rushed first (almost beta) release... Still, it's a very welcome new feature!

Anyway, I am simply going to avoid BT pairing until the next SideSync update and that's it... I too have BT keyboard and mouse for occasional use with my tablet and I also have a Logitech BT 2.1 speaker set which I sometimes use with the tablet plus of course the occasional use for quick sharing of small files between my tablet and smartphone/PC but nothing forces me to keep BT always ON on the tablet (on the Note 3 I use it way more often, especially because I use it for handsfree calling in the car).
[Galaxy Tab S General] urself25:
Finally, I know what is my my problem with my Tab S. I watch a lot of movies with my Tab doing chores and I am using bluetooth headphones to keep listening to the dialogues when I don't look directly at the screen. My phone (Note II) sit just beside it. They were both paired using SideSync but I was never able to make it properly work, however, once in a while the Tab and my Note tried to exchange information. I think it was also happenening when I was watching movied and receving a notification on my tab and my phone which both of them tried to send to the other via bluetooth and at the same time was disabling my bluetooth functionality on the Tab until I rebootted it. I removed SideSync from my phone now and i'll see if this was the problem.
[Galaxy Tab S General] scarvan:
BT/WiFi issue

I am having the same issue, but it seems that it has nothing to do with SideSync. The WiFi behaves erratically (as described by the initial post) whenever I have the bluetooth turned on. Listening to spotify with my BT headphones is a nightmare.

Anyway......
[Galaxy Tab S General] BarryH_GEG:
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi share the same 2.4GHz frequency. A sketchy Wi-Fi connection can impact BT performance. As an example, when I'm using public Wi-Fi my BT keyboard sometimes goes nuts with repeating keys. It's usually because of a crappy connection, too many people on the router, or too many people with wireless devices sitting near me. I never have the problem at home, work, or on 3G. If it's happening at your house you might want to check how crowded the Wi-Fi channel you're using is.
[Galaxy Tab S General] scarvan:
I agree with you. However, BT is not being affected, wifi is. I was an Ipad user and recently changed to galaxy tab s 10.5 and used the same wifi connection (both at home and at work) and BT headphones without any problems whatsoever using the Ipad. It is just frustrating...

I am no expert and I am here to learn and give my input, trying to help and be helped. Sorry....
[Galaxy Tab S General] xdapao3:
It might still be related somehow.. I mean it may be the same bug which manifests itself under different conditions.

Anyway, I just tried and I have no issue at all with neither BT nor Wi-Fi while playing some music on my BT speaker set and surfing the web at the same time (also tried doing speed tests, everything works perfectly fine at full normal speed).

Tried with both my router (Sitecom 2.4GHZ) and my brother's (Netgear 2.4/5 GHz) and my speakers (Logitech BT adapter) and my brother's BT headset (cheap no-name headset which he uses for gaming I think)

P.S. it's important to note that it is most probably a simple bug (and that's why I have been calling it that) and not an HW issue because until I disconnect SideSync and turn the BT off on the Note 3 while keeping it on on the Tab S, I have no issue with running *both* BT and Wi-Fi! So NOT a matter of interference and the like...
[Galaxy Tab S General] BarryH_GEG:
Most people here have Wi-Fi S'. You'd think systemic problems with something as highly used as Wi-Fi (with our without using BT simultaneously) would be a 15 page thread on the home page of the forum if a lot of people were experiencing it. Samsung and Apple most likely use different brands/models of Wi-Fi radios in their devices. Because one device worked and the other doesn't could mean there's an individual issue connecting to whatever you're connecting to. That, or your particular S may have a h/w problem.
[Galaxy Tab S General] xdapao3:
I agree. It's either the same bug I am talking about which is being "brought out" by scarvan's specific HW combination or it's an issue related to his specific device (both HW or SW).

It may be useful to try it on different routers/BT speakers/headsets combinations.
[Galaxy Tab S General] GeorgeP:
Same issue as reported by OP. I never noticed because I keep BT on both Tab and S5. If I turn BT off on the S5, not only is wifi performance on tab Tab affected, but also the performance of nearby PC on the same network.
[Galaxy Tab S General] scarvan:
I will try disabling Sidesync on the tablet and see how it works. If its ok, I'll enable it again and just disconnect BT on my S4 to see how it goes. I'll get to you guys again on this tomorrow. Thanks for all your input!
[Galaxy Tab S General] BarryH_GEG:
You can also force stop it so you don't have to disable or uninstall it. That way you can still use it by just opening it.

The current version was released after OP's post. You might want to make sure you're updated.
[Galaxy Tab S General] thomkat:
I'am using 5ghz highband wireless. No problems with Bluetooth streaming simultanously.
[Galaxy Tab S General] carvation:
i had this same issue as the op , after using sidesync for the first time about 10 min later it will not connect to my wifi network until i disabled bt as i was using a bt mouse at the time, even had samsung remotely go into the tab to see if they can solve the issue , which they did nothing but cleared data from bt. finally said f it and did a factory wipe, running flawless again now, kind of scared to use sidesync again right now , it took over 2 hours to d/l all of my stuff back to the tab
[Galaxy Tab S General] scarvan:
Ok... So after some tests I can confirm that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi work fine together. Sidesync is the issue.... Presumably remote notifications.

Let's wait for an update to the app f4om Samsung.

Thanks everyone!

Is it possible to use Sidesync between Tab S and PC/Mac ?

Or only tab with smartphone?

I tried on my iMac and it doesn't find (wifi ou USB)
[Galaxy Tab S General] xdapao3:
From the very first post: "SideSync, which I like a lot and do use often on my Note 3,

Windows PC

and now my Tab S"

No idea (and no interest whatsoever) about Apple crap but on my own Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit SP1 laptop and several other Windows 7 and 8 PCs I tried it on, it works perfectly, both via Wi-Fi and USB.
[Galaxy Tab S General] BarryH_GEG:
SideySync won't screen mirror a tablet to a PC. When installed on a tablet it allows a (Samsung) phone to be screen mirrored

to

the tablet. You

can

screen mirror a (Samsung) phone to a PC. Why are tablets treated differently? I have no idea.

RSupport makes SideSync for Samsung and its based on their own screen mirroring product called Mobizen. It allows tablets to be screen mirrored to a PC. I have no clue about connecting to Apple products. Here's Mobizen. You also need to install a specific add-on (on the device) for Samsung devices.

Mobizen - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rsupport.mvagent&hl=en

[Galaxy Tab S General] xdapao3:
OOOPS!! I read his question too superficially! :laugh:

Yeah, SideSync *very sadly* doesn't work at all between tablets and PCs... I too can`t see why..

Although, truth be told, I would use it pretty rarely between my tablet and PC while I use it very often both between my smartphone and my PC and between my smartphone and my tablet.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Mcc05:
Okay my tablet does the same if I use sidesync once then try to use a bluetooth mouse my wifi goes from very fast to very slow.

To restore the bluetooth/wifi working together normally I have to go into apps and clear the data for all the sidesync apps then it works again fine.

sidesync app is definitely broken
[Galaxy Tab S General] BarryH_GEG:
There's a SideSync update (3.0.7.1) in Samsung Apps. It doesn't show up as an update for some reason. But if you go to its page in Samsung Apps it'll show "update." The interface is different but there's no functional changes. I wasn't having any problems before so don't know if this update will help those that were.
[Galaxy Tab S General] GeorgeP:
Update does not fix the bug, at least with the S5.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Daagen:
What a surprise. Samsung releases an update but doesn't fix the bugs. Same thing with chromecast.
[Galaxy Tab S General] stoneseeker:
Sorry to Necro a thread here, but is this still the case? I have a NotePro 12.2 and was hoping the pre-installed software would allow me to connect it to my laptop as a phone would.

I only just found this now and can see that perhaps it was never made to work that way. That's unfortunate. Remote PC works fine, but this would have been a nice function for making my tablet less of a dead-in-the-water device with my workflow.

Can anyone confirm that nothing has changed since this thread? in Side Sync 3.0 (the current version) apparently they did offer some new features, I was kinda hoping this would be added.

When I try (with USB cable or wifi) with both the windows program installed and the android app installed and both running (as instructed) they just don't find each other.
[Galaxy Tab S General] malsec:
Confirmed. Still can't connect from PC/Mac to tablet

Just bought a Tab S 10.5" and have this issue.

Has there been a fix found?
[Galaxy Tab S General] xdapao3:
The bug I described in the first post has been fixed from quite a while, for me, by one of the latest updates...

I have SideSync ver. 3.2.2.5 on both my Note 3 and Tabs S.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Navrig:
Thanks. I had the problems yesterday but didn't note what version of Sidesync I had. It us now the same as yours

I'll check when back in the house again
[Galaxy Tab S General] Navrig:
I did a factory reset on the tablet which forced a Sidesynch updated to 3.2.2.8.

I then disabled Sidesynch on my S5 allowing me to force the same update

BT and wifi now working alongside each other no problem.
[Galaxy Tab S General] xdapao3:
Yes the latest version is now 3.2.2.8 I got it a day after my post on both my smartphone and my tablet (got it without any trick, they normally updated from the Play Store)
[Galaxy Tab S General] eggytoasty:
I own a Galaxy Grand Prime and a Galaxy TabPRO 8.4. I've installed the Sidesync applications on both units but when I push connect on the Tablet the phones app crashes. I used my girlfriend's GS4 and it worked perfectly. Any ideas why my Prime is crashing and not connect to my tablet. Thx guys. Any hehelwwouldbe great.
[Galaxy Tab S General] AnotherDave:
Just to note another experience with a Galaxy Tab S. I do not have Bluetooth enabled. I did play with SideSync when purchasing the tablet a couple of months ago, while looking for a way to transfer data from a Galaxy Tab 2. Wi Fi has been dreadful with the Tab S, much slower than the Tab 2, my S5, and my wife's little Samsung phone.

Having just updated apps on the S5, Tab 2, and then Tab S, I became so frustrated with the Tab S that I tried to uninstall SideSync since it is mentioned in many threads about slow wifi. Of course it won't uninstall but I rolled back updates from 4.2 to 3.1 and the Tab Street is now downloading at 10 times the speed or faster!

Nice though SideSync may be, I will be very cautious about installing further updates!
[Galaxy Tab S General] xdapao3:
I haven't this issue, my Tab S' Wi-Fi is as fast as my Note 3 and in general SideSync has been working very well for me since a very long time.

I regularly use it on my Note 3, Tab S 10.5 LTE and Windows PC and with tasker and the AutoRemote Chrome plug-in I have set it up as to be able to launch SideSync on my Note 3 directly from my laptop and from my Tab S (especially useful for when I want to leave the Note charging on its wireless pad).

Remote notifications from my Note 3 to my Tab S and making and receiving Note 3's phone calls on the Tab S also work very well, as do remote notifications from my Note 3 to my PC and making and receiving Note 3's phone calls on the PC.

I consider it a real value added feature of Samsung devices (one of many, if I may add).

Yes there has been aluminum bumpers (basically anything aluminum) would affect signal. Such examples would be a nexus 4 aluminum bumper you can search for the xda thread and people will tell you. Although that does look like a nice bumper the loss signal wouldn't be worth it.

for that bumper there is no signal loss as there are antennas on the back of the phone not the sides
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Could still affect the signals, yeah it won't affect the signal as significantly but the signal will still deter with the bumper on than without the bumper on.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] no_username_available:
if it does it not noticeable, i know people that have it and with speed tests their results aren't any different with it on/off
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
And I know for some people, it does affect their signal.

The question is it worth waiting 1-3 weeks for the case to arrive because it ships from China just to risk the possibility to wasting money on something that would deter signal?

Its the OP's money and your money after all, so do what you want. I personally wouldn't get a case or a bumper with aluminium. If you do buy it then just know the risk that there is a possibility of a deterred signal, it may or may not.

Edit: Also have to take into consideration of not only cellular data but also GPS signal.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
I'm just saying that the Snapdragon 800 and 801 are more or less the same processor with the 801 better. I'm for certain that 801 is better but its not very significant to the point where you'd notice any lag anyways.

For sure, the OPO is more futureproof since it does have a newer CPU and 1GB extra RAM.
