Galaxy Tab S 10.5. Same here on the 2nd and 3rd pictures. But my mura effect is not as noticeable as OP's.

Is it really defective or this is common for large SuperAMOLED screens?

What is interesting that I didn't see any review mentioning this problem.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touchwiziscute:
Its common for all amoled unfortunately

Definately have some of this on my 8.4 tab s. Its annoying most when watching dark videos half of the screen shadows will be brighter than the other and show artifacts as a result. Flip the screen upside down and the issue moves to the other side. No such problems with the note4. I also believe there is some black crush going on when playing movies. Sometimes the transitions are lost between black and lighter shadows. Anyone haveluck getting their tab s replaced by Samsung? Wondering if thats a route to take

Oh cr##. I wish I hadn't seen this thread.

Mine is really bad. On 2 and 3 it looks like a radial gradient that goes clock wise starting at 12:00.

I have the ten inch Wi-Fi.

Oh I don't even need to crank the brightness to 100%, just about 20% with the lamp dimmed, not even dark room, and I can see it. It kind of looks like when it's cold and you breathe on your window and it leaves a frost.

Now that I've seen it I'm going to be looking for it and it'll drive me crazy. I'm screwed :(

And the screen is the only reason I even got this thing!!!

My Tab S 8.4 display is very affected by this. It is severe enough that it bothers me in most situations, including when I use it in dim lighting. What is the final verdict? Is this common to Super AMOLED? I bought mine from Amazon and noticed the mura effect almost immediately. It has been exactly a week since it was delivered.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
No. I have one that works perfectly fine. It's probaly defective ones that were sent. Im not sure if it's a problem with amoled but mine works perfectly

On AVSforum people call this the panel lottery.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tndugan:
Panel lottery, huh? Clever. I'm assuming I want a panel from Samsung and not from one of the other manufacturers, right? Anyway, this is all I could get to show up on camera using my Galaxy S4. In person, it's worse and goes almost all the way around the display. Do we know what causes this? Or is it just some kind of incompatibility with the technology?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Well I dont have anything like that. Its probaly due to amoled deffective units. Im not really sure why it causes this, but its mostly only on amoled and not lcd or somesort.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tndugan:
Just received my replacement Tab S 8.4 from Amazon and this display has the same problem, but it's more severe. I called Customer Service and they were delighted to hear about my problem and said they would investigate it since this is my 2nd try for a good one. I'll be returning this one for a refund this time. As much as I love Samsung products and since I have had great experience with them before, I am sad to say I feel my only choice is to look elsewhere for a tablet. This tab was perfect for me in aalmost every category, but I chose it ultimately because of the screen technology. Now that I've been kicked twice, I think I'll turn tail and settle for something else unless there is some way to guarantee I can get the beautiful display I put so much stock into.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sky|ined:
Same old story with Samsung amoled displays. Note 1 & 2, S4, Tab 7.7 all with problems. You have to sent back again and again until you get a decent display. The reason I'm doing this is because I read ebooks at night so this is a normal scenario for some myself included. Most won't even notice.

I'm looking to buy 8.4 inch tablet. From what I read, both are very good tablet. The difference of price here is about 70 AUD.

I don't really care about AMOLED vs LCD- both are fine.

I'll most probably run it on custom ROM. Tab Pro already has official CM support and established community. I'm not sure about Tab S, it's is too early to tell at this stage. I also notice Tab S is slightly thinner and lighter. Tab S runs on 3GB ram compared to 2GB of Tab Pro.

Probably you guys can give an opinion whether the price difference is worth it. Is there any other factor that makes one better than the other?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freakstyler:
You have pretty much listed the differences, so it's just a matter of if you wish to save the $70.

Fingerprint scanner, thinner, lighter, AMOLED screen, extra Gb of Ram are the main differences.

If you plan to consume media, like watch TV/Movies/YouTube etc than the AMOLED screen is likely better for battery life, but if you mainly surf the web, than the LCD screen uses less battery.

As for CM11, the Tab Pro is only supported on the 4G Qualcomm Snapdragon version, technically the Exynos 5 Wifi version isn't supported officially.

The Tab S is currently getting a user made Exynos 5 version of CM11.

Good luck with you decision.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCJ22:
Which one can I make phone calls from the tablet itself? I know I will need the 4G version. But I heard a rumor that one of these you can use as an actual cell phone without sidesync
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edan1979:
both got LTE version and can make call... how do i know? i owned both.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCJ22:
I wonder if both have 1x antenna since United states (where I am) uses 1x to make voice calls. This is good info I will do more research.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prokeke:
Do you know how can I tell the difference (before I buy) between those two version? Do they have different version code? All I know is the one officially supported is the WiFi version
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1:
Does the Tab S 8.4 suffer from the same wifi singal issue as the Pro 8.4? If you hold the bottom left of tablet in portrait mode or bottom right in landscape mode, wifi signal drops down very low and may even disconnect.

I just got a Tab Pro 8.4 and it does this, there is a thread in that forum where many others have the same exact issues. If Tab S solves this problem that along may make it worth it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
I had the pro 8.4 for a short while and I can confirm that the tab s 8.4 does not suffer with the same wifi problem. They have relocated the wifi antennae to a different part of the tab s.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fletch33:
to me its simple. if i were a person that gets a new tablet every 6 months to 1 year then i get the whatever but if i am a person that is closer to 2+ years then i get the best i can afford at the time.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prokeke:
The thing is, no device absolutely best another :D

More expensive doesn't always mean better

I was leaning to Tab S but I'm reconsidering my decision upon hearing that Tab Pro 8.4 might get better dev support due to Qualcomm SOC.

Can anyone who have tried both device or [MENTION=1473204]edan1979[/MENTION] give your opinion whether Tab S really feels better at hand? (smaller dimension & lighter). I cannot give Tab Pro 8.4 a try because it is not available on my local store (samsung decide not to sell it here).
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orphee:
Only LTE version of tab pro has the qualcomm SOC.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
I had the non lte version of tab pro and mine had qualcomm soc.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fletch33:
i agree and that is why i said "best i can afford" not most expensive.

i own the 10.1 Pro and 10.5 S because i bought the Pro when it came out and then m,ade the mistake of playing around with the Tab S. not surfe about the 8.4 but the overall feel, smoothness of OS, (big one here) USB port on side and not bottom, and 3GB ram made it a no brainer to move up to S and glad i did. so with 10.1 to 10.5 i dont regret the extra cash at all.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCJ22:
Does T705 (LTE version of tab s 8.4) have qualcom soc?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCJ22:
Ah so ARMv7 / Exynos
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edan1979:
as for the support and my own development... yeah i love tab pro... lots of dev for it... in term of that device in general... it worth the money pay... it dont have that much different from tab s... and tab s... well this one... i got LTE exynos version but the screen blow me up since i miss my good old superamoled 7.7. sooner or later someone will take challenge to port cm or whatever to it... since i am more tw person so i dont really care... but tab s do feel better at hand... and i mostly bringing tab s with me.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] HKSpeed:
In regards to custom ROM support, I would think the Tab Pro 8.4 would get more support because of the Snapdragon 800 processor. In America that processor is very popular and used by different manufacturers, so developer support is strong. The S 8.4 has a Exynos processor, which I'm not sure of developer support.

This video compares the Pro 8.4 vs. S 8.4

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] xdm9mm:
In addition to the above answer, if you are not going to root and will need Knox for security, go for the Tab pro. If you will root the device, get the Tab S because it has 3gb memory and it will certainly help.

I prefer the screen of the Tab Pro S. It is brighter and I have not had any problem with the 2 units I have used. I have also bought the Tab S 8.4 and the 10.5. Their screen were pinkish when viewing webpages with white background. I can also see purple fringing on top of icons and letters, while I see green fringing at the bottom.

I suggest go to a local store and try them both, only you can really make the best decision for yourself.

Good luck
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] superkevx:
If you actually don't care about the screen I would 100% get the tab pro 8.4. The snapdragon 800 is a better SOC than the exynos in the tab s. Your tablet will be quicker and developer support will always be more active with the snapdragon compared to the exynos. I currently have the tab pro 8.4 and it's perfect in every way except for the screen. I got spoiled with my note 3 and now I'm not sure I can stand reading off the tab pro in bed at night.

tl;dr if you don't care about the difference in screens, save your money and get the better performing tab pro 8.4
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] xdm9mm:
I use lux lite from google play to reduce the brightness at night.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Prokeke:
Thanks for the heads up regarding the Qualcomm vs Exynos thing, guys!

I love to customize my gadget and an active development community means a lot to me :D

I was leaning to tab S and now reconsidering my decision on tab pro.

If you own both device, I'd like to know your opinion about how it feels at your hand. I cannot try Tab Pro 8.4 at my local store (samsung decide not to sell it here) so I can only get it from grey imports. Does the difference in weight & dimension a significant one?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] acasserole:
Hey I'm in the same position, can't decide what Tablet to get, I have however tried both of them in the shop and can say the Faux Leather plastic of the TabPro is not nice however won't we all be having a case on it anyway? As for the size difference is noticeable however in daily use I doubt it'd really effect anybody.

The price difference is £100 so that also plays a part idk how much cheaper the TabPro is for you. I'm also looking at the Nvidia Shield Tablet - let me know what you think to that compared to the Samsung tablets
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Prokeke:
Nvidia shield is a gaming tablet and Samsung's tabs are casual tablet. It depends on your use case; for me, I'd rather play games on my pc instead of tablet.

What do you think about the weight? does Tab S feel more comfortable? It is very light for an 8.4 inch tablet.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] acasserole:
The Nvidia shield is close to stock android and has the best chipset out atm? and at a competetive price, the only thing is the weight of it...

And The tab was lighter though it's hard to tell when they have the security attachment things on the back. I tried bending it and it felt pretty solid considering how thin and light it was
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Prokeke:
EDIT: I thought it runs on Tegra 4. It turns out to be Tegra K1 which is a better processor.

I'm not sure about the best chipset. Snapdragon 800 has better clockspeed and only one less core. Exynos 5 has 8 core but a little less clockspeed.

While it might be true that it is close to stock android, Nvidia is famous to keep the source of their SoC, making it harder for devs to develop things. I own LG optimus 2x with nvidia tegra 2 chipset and familiar with frustated devs blaming nVidia for it. Also, You can see that there is little to no development going on Shield's forum.

Qualcomm on the other hand is more developer friendly.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] acasserole:
Another difference to note is the finger print scanner on the Tab S
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] HKSpeed:
I tested the Pro 8.4 and S 8.4 at a store. The S is noticeably lighter and thinner, but it doesn't matter to me since I always uses cases that add some bulk. I really don't like the Pro's extra height, which makes it a little awkward to hold in portrait mode. Its also harder to find sleeve cases that fit the height, without resorting to a sleeve made for a 10" tablet. The Pro is modeled after the Galaxy Note 3, while the S is modeled after the Galaxy S5. The Pro/Note 3's faux leather back is just matte plastic. The S/S5's back has a rubber-like coating thats soft and grippy. Getting the Pro 8.4 was an easy decision, especially due to the lower price. I can't see the difference between LCD and AMOLED screens.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] superkevx:
Yeah I have tried that. Looks like you have a note 3 also. Try reading something in the dark with the note 3 and black background with grey text. Like google play books with night mode turned on or any app with an amoled option. Then try the same with the gtab pro in the dark and you'll notice a huge difference!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] rainrox:
I prefer the pro 8.4 against the s 8.4. Its cheaper by a lot and has a more widely used SoC hence more awesome ROMs to choose from.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] xdm9mm:
Yes I know what you mean. It (ASAmoled screen) is nicer when reading at night, but I can't stand looking at it during the day time. I have already returned the Note 3. I only have S4 and Tab pro 8.4 now.

I've been working on some stuff on my own but I am stimm pretty vanilla about android development in general (although that doesnt mean I havent developed anything else). Anyhow, I just wanted to ask exactly what effect the bootloader has on installing roms and such. I realize that this prevents anything besides touchwiz roms but I would like to know the in depth. It is my understanding that a stock kernel is required but what else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sjpritch25:
Well, I guess it would have to do with safestrap too. With safestrap, I might be wrong, but it doesn't give you the same access as a fully unlocked bootloader. I'm on an unlocked bootloader, but I'm stuck with ML1 firmware. Someone else will have to give more info on safestrap because I don't know much about it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carlofabyss:
Apologies, I didnt acknowledge that in my post, but I am well aware that yeah safestrap does not at all give you the same freedom. So wait how are you on the unlocked bootloader and stuck? That's interesting. Safestrap is essentially not an actually replacement to your stock recovery it just allows you to flash modified stock based roms to a rom slot if you are on a locked bootloader. But if you are unlocked then in theory you should be able to flash cwm and start fresh. Also being on ML1 however, shouldnt you be locked to begin with?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carlofabyss:
This is interesting, I thought everything had pretty much been abandoned for either too much of a challenge or new devices. Thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Same here. It's nice to be on an unlocked bootloader however. I'm on ML1 myself and never had any major issues. Safestrap basically allows you to use a different slot which doesn't touch the locked bootloader. On the 4.3 update which locked the bootloader there were several TW roms to chose from but when it comes to the newest baseband of NE1 your limited to stock and one other rom.

Hello, I've had no luck anywhere else, so I decided to ask here.

My Nook HD Plus has been running CM11 for quite some time with no issues whatsoever. Then, one night, it died, and I can't get it to charge at all. I've tried several outlets, with different cords and everything, with no luck. When plugged in, the indicator light doesn't turn on at all, any color. I tried plugging it into my computers, with the same results. I've also tried holding the power/home/volume buttons and all of that, but still nothing happens. I've also left it plugged in for hours, but it just warms up slightly. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks,

So several outlets and additional proprietary charging cables but not another usb outlet adapter or is that "everything"?

In any case, the no light thing is probably a good indicator that the tablet is needing a replacement. IF it was getting juice there should be a light.

IF it was plugged in when it happened, could have been an electrical surge. Long term brownouts could potentially cause damage.

I'm also assuming that the port on the tablet isn't simply where the fault it, or perhaps even the battery, or that the light simply doesn't work anymore.

IF its still under warranty could go to B&N for a replacement.

Curious if it's working without issues on the Maxx. I've used it in the past so I'm fine there, but curious if it impacts the always listening feature or not. I really want it to set different profiles, such as speaker/Bluetooth/headphone. Right now the bass is way too high via Bluetooth with my Ford sync.
