Month ago you told me and others " for audio simply reflash Dolby - fixed problem "

So i uninstalled both , flashed Dolby Atmos ( you gave me same link for Arm ) and i told that it dont work, and you say its normall, becouse its other type of processor. Ye, arm. So why guide me that far ?

I flashed that zip, it was not working, later removed original dolby, still atmos didnt worked. Ends on reflashing backup of system.

So , tell more about how you modofoed that Dolby that it fixed issuess. Im having white color of tab. So!e say it may count ( mayne some changes in hardware )

Wonder if i send that crap on service. I could not accept some fancy ( still cheap ) Audio system that suppose sound better and sounds crappy on Lollipop.

Crappy Lollipop 5.0.1. Lol, my father want to buy today in promo 5500 model. Now i say to him i dont know if its worth it, becouse Lenovo dont care about what they do . Crappy firmware 5.0.1, most users reporting variois problems ? Whatever ! They paid.

So, what you suggest with that Dolby? Your first reflashimg idea didnt work.

Yesturday friend give me link to old Dolby zip ( compatible with our type ) , but that file was too old and it wont flash.

ps. What contact to service in Poland? Report will to send it for " repair sound " .

Honestly I suggest doing nothing with that. Play with settings it's very easy to set it to increase volume and fix distortion. To do anything with Android device you should have some experience before even starting. There are easy and hard workarounds for some problems but I like experimenting with settings mods scripts to get make my devices work better ;) If will find some time I'll try to make a fix zip for most S8 problems(somehow I fixed contrast problem at all and overheating in youtube)

Ye, you could post some usable settings files. But i dont know if overwriting files will not cause crash etc.

I fhave CM on Samsumg and im old Pc user, so its not a big problem. Only problem is precise guide. S8 is x86 too, not far from Pc. Actually its a Pcmwhen you load Win from ulocked bootloader.

Tell more what color of tab you have ( version L ? ) and what you did to fix.

Manga is always black on whites and it looks very bad on this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfrschnell:
Just to let you know what I did:

Removed root within SuperSu (full unroot).

Did factory data reset

Downloaded the update file.

Tried to install the update (14 MB file)

When it was updating all of a system I got error with status1.

Tried factory data over recovery and tried to install the file again and no luck.

Again any help much appreciated.

That's good and bad news ;)

When did you get the update? Was it OTA? Have you tried factory reset after the lollipop update?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highHopes:
Yes, it was OTA update on Thursday 2nd. I tried factory reset, cache wipe etc.. It is quite unstable ROM... The most annoying thing is the absence of dolby digital. Audio is very poor without it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stas333:
So, how do we eventually revert back to stock? Does fastboot work on this tablet? If so, i was thinking of using the original .img via fastboot and then just get the new ota. but honestly, i am perfectly happy with 4.4 on the tablet right now. I have 5.1 on my nexus 6 so i spend enough time messing with that lol

guys, do you still get AndroidOS at the top of the battery statistics on Lollipop? Last night I made a full charge, no apps running in the background except basics google apps sync, wifi was off, and after 10 hours I lost 10% with AndroidOS being the only thing registered on battery stats and without touching the damn thing. It is worth mentioning that I have lots of unwanted apps freezed so what the hell? I think I am done experimenting on Lollipop. Tonight I shall see myself back to KitKat again. Lollipop offers a few convenient functions KK doesn't but on this device it is a piece of sh*t as the device is in general. I am also thinking of selling it as I grew tired of it. I know that I will get little money of it but I really don't need a device that behaves like this. What a crap company!!!

Maybe the purpose of getting a build-able boot-able version of android-5.1.1 is to have a base for bringing up support for android-6, i don't think it would make much sense to invest a whole lot of time in working out the kinks in android-5.1.1, when we should be pushing forward to android-6.x.x

Yeah you're right mate! I was always doing a small steps. Step by step through android versions. I remember HTC one V times :D it was stuck on 4.1/4.2 and KitKat got released, but instead of working on kitkat I started working on 4.3 :D (never released though my testers couldn't get it booting even if it was booting for me...)

Hi

I had excatly the same issue. The tablet has been working fine after the Lollipop-Update. After a while the battery life was more than poor. I lost roughly 1% per minute. Android-Os was causing the drain.

So I booted into the external TWRP and deleted cache as well as dalvik cache. This has solved the issue. The S8 keeps battery during standby (I loose perhaps 5% a day without touching the tablet).

Quite a simple solution and it will allow you to keep Lollipop!

Cheers and good luck

Guys are we able to get into Windows mode? I mean changing boot mode. I found on the Web Android based OS called Remix OS which is based off Android 5.1. 1 x86 and it supports all x64 CPU compatible computer(so our S8 too). Do you think it can work?

It has all the same issues android-x86 does as it's based off it. No WiFi no touch no Bluetooth no camera the list goes on. . . and the android-x86 project only cares about conventional x86 / x86_64, while they support some windows Baytrail tablet from talking to the various groups they have no intention of add support for Intel android Baytrail tablets.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minto107:
I haven't modified system files so far. I tried Dolby Equalizer to correct that and if you have some knowledge about music and music hw you should know how to increase volume to reduce that. Sending tablet back on warranty won't make any difference. It's firmware fault unless Lenovo will do some hotfix or update they won't do anything in service. And what did you expect from $200 tablet? You can't blame them because you should be thankful that you got that lollipop, most budget tablets wouldn't get any update at all and mostly their firmwares are more buggy and full of bloatware. Play with EQ then. When I'll get home I'll show you my settings, I've forgotten to take my S8 to school

And that tablet was ONE OF FASTEST TABLETS IN THE WORLD when they release it! It compete in speed with highest priced High end tablets!

Nice budget. Its not budget tab, its middle class tab! Nice budge tab cost 50-100 $

Its budget for Apple or Samsung like companies, but Lenovo make 2x+ cheaper devices with same specs.

Even that is not important. IT WORKED WELL ON KITKAT, so why the hell you tell me i should be happy ??!! Happy becouse sound is sh.t now?

I should be gratefull? Lol . You will see my thankfullness to these punks in Lenovo. Sound is distorted and that tablet does not have cheapest audio speakers, and it sound worse than worst budget tablets !

I know quite enough about audio, have 2 semi professional guitars, , Pod XT and lots of other stuff, giant hi-fi etc.

I know how exactely soumd should sound like. Of course im sending that crap. I p.ss on their S8 now.

If i would crap like that would buy tab for 100$ . Dude, Playstation 4 cost 320 dollars and Sony say its high tech and powerfull device.

Dolby, eq settings dont work becouse its Constant , non stop buzzing- distortion- flanger like effect. It shreds quality of sound to unaceptable levels. Read some forums ! Many users cant stand that quality.

And i reccomamd them to send that crap to Lenovp, as they changed it for other buddy i know. He had different problem, but also with 5.0.1 after update.

200$ device as people i know also work for 500$ . Its not budget to be treat like garbage.

That update is nothing for that tab with 2gb ram and 35300 Antutuscore. Its outdated software not matching that hardware possibilities. They should introduce stable 5.1 , npt that beta crap

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minto107:
Android 5.0.x is worst android release since 4.3. It's slow on most devices and lots of bugs. This is the reason why 5.1 was released. Lenovo shouldn't do 5.0, they should work on 5.1.1 because it's very stable but remember that 4.4 is best android version released so far... It's next 4.1 which was always appreciated but 4.4 replaced it and now it's Marshmallow time, which is second best android version I've used(nothing beats 4.4 so far) and I really hope Google will make 6.1 better than 4.4 because they're on the right path to do so ;)

Does anybody know if changing SELinux statue to Permissive instead enforcing

Sent from my Galaxy S6 Edge Plus (G928F)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minto107:
I'm using your recovery from temp recovery session thread and everything is fine ;) Balika's TWRP is slow, I don't know why but it is XD

Changing SELinux to permissive will make your device(more?) vulnerable for all kind viruses etc. To be clear, I left it enforcing on S8 because there isn't much development on x86 on terms of 'hacks' so there's no need to turn off SELinux. I turned it off on my S3 using third party kernel(KNOX wouldn't let me to change it without changing kernel) but I use a lot of that kind third party software so I need to deal with it. But to be honest I don't see any point in securing android device which is full of bugs and back doors, so if someone will really want to hack your device he will do it, regardless of SELinux status :)
