[Galaxy Tab S General] williamvito:
Not really excited for the aspect ratio change and the resulting screen sizes. I feel as if Sammy is starting to lose their identity and going full on Apple in philosophy, even down to the lack of memory expansion in their flagship handsets.

According to reports the 2nd gen Tab S WILL hopefully have memory expansion, but little things like this FCC picture indicate that they are scaling back on other hardware features such as camera flash. I'm not one to take photos with a tablet but it's that kind of example that has me a little concerned on their future direction.

[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
I wonder if it has haptic feedback/vibration in it. When I got my Tab S I saw no review mentioning vibration so when I got mine I was surprised it had one. The whole samsung going apple I expected as their S6 sold pretty well. Hopefully it won't be the same for tablets :D
[Galaxy Tab S General] williamvito:
i was also surprised when i discovered the vibration, and keeping in their current trend of shaving certain things it would totally not surprise me if they also took that out of the Tab S2.
[Galaxy Tab S General] TonyBigs:
A real evolution would include a WACOM pen and a user-accessible msata slot.
[Galaxy Tab S General] jayochs:
why is there an earpiece on that leaked pic?

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

nah. that's for their note tablet slot. I'm sure 4 months after the tab s 2 comes out, a new note tablet will come out lol

The Tab S2 doesn't seem like a significant improvement over the Tab S. For me the 4:3 ratio is a downgrade. I would like the Galaxy S6 based fingerprint reader. I gave up on using the Tab S fingerprint reader after a week.
[Galaxy Tab S General] BableMan:
I just did the same, I find ios and Android equally usable but personally prefer this aspect ratio. Shame it's disappearing for now. Why not root? I used warranty repair with tripped Knox on my note 3 and it wasn't an issue.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
S2 , 4:3 display, no way!!!! :eek:

I am very happy with my 10.5" 16:10 screen :)

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] 3DSammy:
Your response is timely as just over the weekend there was a post describing how to root without tripping Knox, adding SuperSU and using stock Lollipop or one of the custom ROMs as long as they use the stock bootloader and recovery. I'm a Linux user so had to set up a windows machine which I did yesterday in a virtualbox VM (both XP and Win7).

Both KIES3 and Odin see the SM-T800 and KIES successfully backs up the Tab S so I'll be starting the procedure shortly like today or tomorrow. Wish me luck. I'll definitely post my results one way or another. The process is involved especially as you need to start off with KitKat.
[Galaxy Tab S General] FlyNikolai:
I've had my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 since August last year, and seriously no exaggeration...I love my tab to death. This is by FAR the best tablet EVER made in my opinion. I'm a computer tech...so I make use of Android in every way, from downloading torrents, files, you name it I do it. I haven't used a computer for personal use in lord knows how long.

I can't even begin to spew my disappointment in what samsung is doing to it's devices, 4:3 aspect ratio? 9.7 inch screen? Really? Smh. Who wants to hold their tablet in portrait? I already do that daily with my Note Edge.

This Apple -esque thing they're doing is ridiculous, it's hurting the people like us on XDA. But it will make them way more money because the average consumer will buy it, and I understand that from a business standpoint.

However in my opinion that's simply a downgrade in every way, and it hurts my soul lol because I'm the kind of person that MUST upgrade when every successor device is released. The spoiled "must have everything new" brat in me will likely prevail...and it sucks because I truly love my Tab S 10.5.

10.5 inch screen...I don't think people understand the marvelous feat that is for a tablet...and to be so thin. There's really no other tablet in the category that gives you that screen size, hardware, and open source productive software. Yes the processor and other internals are a bit outdated now...but we all know you won't really notice any difference in real usage(I'm trying my best to make myself believe that, please let me be lol)

As all these devices are like 2 years ahead in specs when they are released right? I have the Galaxy Note Edge and it's starting to freeze on me and move a little sluggish & it's newer than the Tab S so...just something I'm starting to notice with these devices now with minimal upgrades.

As you can see I'm trying my hardest to make myself find a reason not to upgrade. Sad part is I'm talking all this junk and I know when the Galaxy Tab S2 is released...the spoiled brat geek in me will just be gnawing at me to buy it lol smh. So sad.

Thanks a lot Samsung.:(
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
I have had my 10.5" since Christmas and hate when a newer version model comes out, as i dont like having an last years model and the drop in price, but with the S2 having an 4:3 screen and also having a lower screen size and resolution, if i had the choice of an S1 or S2, I would buy the S1 every-time.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] efanatic:
I have the 8.4 and I definitely don't see the s2 8 as an upgrade at all.
[Galaxy Tab S General] pacc:
I was kinda waiting for tab s2, but when I heard about the new screen format, size, resolution, I waited for a drop in price and purchased my 8.4 tab s just 2 months ago. I really don't regret my decision at all, I hate the squarish looking 4:3 ratio which reminds me a lot of old tvs.

I've been very disappointed by the way Samsung is copying Apple and going into a very wrong direction... This may well be my last Samsung, If I wanted an Ipad or Iphone, I would buy the original, not copycats. I'm only hoping for the Note 5 to go in a different direction with original design and hopefully keeping replaceable battery and micro sd expansion.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
I only buy Samsung for the OLED display`s , if other manufacture offered them i might buy theirs.

LG, is supposed to be one of the other oled display manufactures, but do they do tablets and phones with them in.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] xRevilatioNx:
The prices on the 2 new models of the S series has been sett. $399.99 for the 8.4 and 499.99 for the 9.7

Anyone still going to give them a go? Even with the display going from 16:9 to 4:3?
[Galaxy Tab S General] YrrchSebor:
I think the prices have only been rumored thus far, and I think those numbers are the prices in Euros, so it could actually be $441 and $551! At least according to the current leaked info on the net. Also the smaller one is rumored to be 8.0 in.

In any case I think I'm gonna get an Asus Chromebook Flip haha. These Tabs are too expensive and to me they don't seem as snappy as the flagship smartphones. But hopefully they will be awesome!
[Galaxy Tab S General] pacc:
Looking at the leaks in Sammobile, the new flagship TAB S 2 will have the last years Exynos 5433 SoC (20nm) with DDR3 (ex. Note 4).

Performance was reasonable in 2014, but comparing to the new chips in 2015 (SD 810, SD 820, Kirin 950, MT Helio X20, Tegra X1 or Exynos 7420) it's just too slow.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
I prefer plastic to metal, plastic bends, did you ever see the S3/Note back cover bent in two and straightened without a mark on it, now try that with metal, anyway i always put a case on it, but for those that don't i find metal cold.

John.

It's now been announced officially:

And here's the first hands-on video I've been able to find:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkyrevPCwpU
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Is the S2 9.7" a portrait mode tablet, unlike the S1 10.5" landscape

Loads of photo`s of the 9.7" in the link below.

EDIT: where are the speakers?

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-S2-9.7-inch_id9385/photos?image=54227

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] episode96:
Speakers are at the bottom. They really should have gone for front-facing speakers.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
So when you are watching a video in landscape both of the speakers are on the right hand side, and nothing on the left.

That pathetic i am loving my 10.5" T800 the more i read.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ivanox1972:
Good news for us S1 owners:

1. devices (screens) are smaller

2.screens can't be better (resolution is smaller, but I suppose quality is great- Samsung is improving AMOLEDs)

3.developers will still UI and apps for S1 (if they are different then tab A)

bad news

cpu is stronger- for me not too important...
[Galaxy Tab S General] tamerh:
S2 doesn't have ir blaster
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
No camera flash for those who would use it.

I kept looking at the photo`s and thinking are these the wrong ones and are they actually from the Galaxy Tab A, budget.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] bonerp:
Samsung is saving me loadsa money this year - so I won't be upgrading my note 4 (note 5 = no sd slot or removable battery), and now I won't be upgrading my 10.4 tab s either!!

THANK YOU SAMSUNG....idiots :eek:
[Galaxy Tab S General] xRevilatioNx:
Samsung went with the 4:3 aspect ratio for a reason. It's being able to do a side by side comparison with the Apple iPad Airs ? and eventually take away more market share. With the S1 from last year, you couldn't really get that feel side by side . Apple diehards had a hard time crossing the proverbial pond and purchasing them because of it. Now the display screens are the same exact dimensions. Samsung is after Apple's jugular. I'm sure we will see the wide-screen make a comeback in the S3's next year.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
You can compare the specs and the size of the 8" and 9.7" in the link below.

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/co...msung-Galaxy-Tab-S2-9.7-inch/phones/9384,9385

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] episode96:
I don't think it' would be such a bad idea to alternate aspect ratios every two years actually. I mean, if you already own the original Tab S, would you spend a good amount of money again just to get slightly better internals, with the gap between one model and the successor getting smaller every year? A longer refresh cycle for tablets makes sense to me.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Maybe the should have sold 16:10 and 4:3 from the start, but an oled display eats the power when it is displaying white, so an lcd would be more energy efficient on the 4:3

EDIT: I would love an A4 screen sized ips tablet.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] suzook:
I have been waiting a looonnggg time for 4:3 ratio high end android tab. Its finally coming!
[Galaxy Tab S General] nmeurett:
I bought the nexus 9 32gb on sale a few months ago for 380 and was kind of regretting it because the s2 was coming out but now that I see they are using the old processor I'm not too mad. How much is the 9.7 inch version going to cost? I thought I read somewhere that it was gonna be $600?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Restorer:
Well I guess Samsung have come to the conclusion most of its potential customers will not be using their tablets for video much. If that's the case though what was the point of them spending all that extra money on the fancy AMOLED screen?

Well they have certainly saved me some money. Now that Lollipop has smoothed out performance, I will be more than happy to go on enjoying TV and films on my Tab S for what now looks like many years to come. I for sure will not be buying any more Samsung tabs unless and until the widescreen format is restored. And I don't doubt for a second that the 4:3 AR has been a major contributing factor to the disastrously poor sales of the Nexus 9.
[Galaxy Tab S General] xtrandrix:
So glad I went with the S1 instead of waiting for this garbage
[Galaxy Tab S General] YrrchSebor:
It's embarrassing that they targeted the iPad so closely with this! Same sizes, same aspect ratio, etc.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
The S1 8.4" and 10.5" have an slight better Screen-to-body ratio than the S2 8.0" and 9.7" which is quite surprising, though the S2 is slightly thinner than the S1

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] suzook:
9.7 will be $449.
[Galaxy Tab S General] barth2:
I like the 4:3 since I do 90% reading but they went and shrunk everything -- diagonal, resolution, PPI. D'oh!

PS considering that Apple just released earning shows iPad sales are down again you'd think Samsung might want to do something different.
[Galaxy Tab S General] misteroh:
I don't mind the 4:3. Might actually be better as my magazines currently have black bars at the top and bottom when reading in portrait.

Don't watch too many videos on my tablet, and when I do they're usually wider than 16:10 so I'd get black bars anyway.

I'm excited about the SoC upgrade. I like my current Tab S 8.4 but the CPU really blows sometimes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Dougmeister:
I bought it about 9 months ago on Craigslist. I'll never do *that* again.

After I got it home, I noticed that the screen looks as if it has been replaced. A tiny bit of glue in the upper corner. Oh well. It was working fine. Or so I thought.

A few weeks ago, I started getting these strange vertical lines through the entire display. I couldn't figure out any pattern to it (time of day, temperature, etc.) It would usually go away within a few minutes.

Then today, I hit the power button to bring it out of "sleep" mode, and the screen flickered a few times... and died. I tried to power it back on; no dice. I pulled the battery and tried powering it on; no luck.

I plugged it into an AC charger and at least I saw the battery icon. I powered it on, and the screen flickered and died again.

Is this a known error or a simple fix? Do you need more information?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] speedee12:
Sounds like a dead display, not a real common problem but it happens. You can replace the display which is not a huge deal but my concern is the glue you mention. That may make it a bit of a challenge to repair. Depending on what type, how much and where glue was put.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Dougmeister:
How much would a new display cost if I replaced it myself? How do I know it's just the display, not the digitizer or something else, etc.?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] troyboytn:
Check Ebay. Ebay is usually loaded with replacement screens/lcds. If you do buy from there make sure it is a Sprint variant of the SG4. There are suttle differences on the inside between GS4s. The lcd is the part you'll need to replace if necessary. I would advise, taking the display off first to inspect what the previous owner had done. It's entirely possible that the lcd cable ribbon is loose or not seated properly to the board.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] speedee12:
The display will be the outer glass, digitizer and LCD all in one package. You can try to replace parts separately, but trust me it is not worth it. The outer glass is glued down to the digitizer, that is a real pita to get apart clean without damaging what is left. Then if you do manage to get it apart it may not function as well or be as durable as originally because the outer glass no longer makes contact with the whole digitizer. Think of it like a single piece of wood vs a laminate like plywood.

Granted it may not be the display (there is always a possibility it could be something else -like aliens) but most likely it will be the display. I would think of it this way- try to replace the display, if that does not work you can resell the display you just bought and you might be out $20- well worth it in my opinion.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Dougmeister:
Thanks for the info. Looks like the glass/digitizer/LCD will run me about $100, so I'm not sure it's worth it.

Does anyone have the link handy for the Galaxy S4 drivers so that I can get what I need off the phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Dougmeister:
I've followed instructions to take the motherboard out and put it back in. Is it difficult to ge the display off? Is the LCD cable ribbon easy to find?
