Anyone try Xposed Framework on this rom? Their website warns that it may not work on Samsung Roms...

I'd love to be able to disable the Volume warning when turning up the volume with bluetooth/headphone attached.

I'd also like to disable the home button from turning on the screen.

Thanks!

[Galaxy Tab S General] Ross_L:
I haven't experienced any loss of battery performance over 4.4. Still dropping about 1% for every 5 minutes of screen on time.

One issue I do have is that the touch keys are randomly staying lit up, even when the screen is switched off. Only a reboot seems to fix it for a short period. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Two more variants are just released today (Hungary VDH + UK Vodaphone): sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T705

I have tried the Hong Kong version, but mobile data is not working because my phone is 850MHz. Anyone could recommend a working variant for me ? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab S General] mamali.z:
i have that issue as well , even back to kitkat but its really random and rare , you can fix it without restarting also , all you have to do is to turn off the power saving then go in settings and put the back light button timer on 1.5sec "dont worry even if it was off " and then put it back to off and ull be fine

External SD is usable now ?

I have read Lollipop fixed the problem about SD recording blocked for apps introduced by Google with KiKat. Is it really so ? does any app can write, delete or edit any file on Micro SD external card with this Lollipop firmware in a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (T705) ?

I am very interested because I purchased a T705 and I finally (after a week using or suffering it ;)) return it to the store because I can not use apps to edit files stored in the external Micro SD (for example: Player Pro can edit mp3 files metadata but it is not possible under KitKat).

If Lollipop fixes this limitation, I am considering the purchase of T705. Would be better wait for Galaxy Tab S2 ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S General] xouvinha:
If you will root the Tab S, yo can use the app "SD Fix". Lollipop dont fix this. It is considered for security. The Tab S2 will have the same problem.

About your question about S2, you consider what you prefer, 4:3 format or 16:10. Personally, I prefer this second option for multimedia, even for navigate.

S2 is not yet on sale , and it will be also very expensive. Yes of course, S2 will have more power, but Tab S will remain a great tablet. But I understand that we all like to have the latest ?
[Galaxy Tab S General] nunein:
Actually with Lollipop apps can write to SD card, they have to be updated to support this.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mamali.z:
you have any idea if its software or hardware issue ? cuz its kinda annoying when it happens :(
[Galaxy Tab S General] oldprogrammer:
Thanks.

As far as I understood, there are 2 things required:

1. Lollipop firmware (any, 5.01 or later)

2. The app must be written to use the permission under Lollipop "rules of authorization to write, edit or delete"

Is it so ?

Re Root! How to...?

Thank you guys for the help provided here! just soft bricked my SM-T705 ( flashing the 5.0.2 again ) trying to re root the 5.0.2 Honk Kong firmware flashing TWRP with Odin, then flashing latest SU via TWRP. What's the process (Brick free) to root the latest firmware? Thanks guys...
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ross_L:
Cheers. Just after I posted I tried that and that seemed to solve the issue. I ended up turning off the lights all together now, as I don't really need them lit up. Maybe it will save the world's tiniest amount of battery haha.

Definitely software related, as the issue has only arisen since the implementation of lollipop. The quoted fix sorts the issue.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mamali.z:
huh im glad that its software issue and that i could help :P another thing is with the camera shortcut which suppose to be accessible from lock screen along with dialer "wich is by default" but then i cant find a way to add camera too :( i went into all the settings and couldent find the option >< so annoying :S and one more last thing is the thing i noticed with putting a pure black wallpaper on your home screen , i use to have it that way on kitkat and it looked sexy cuz of the deep black amoled has and when i tried it on lollipop i noticed two bands on top and bottom of screen kinda gray / white but super faint and ghosty , they only show on portrait mode if you turn it on landscape they go away so its not screen im sure but something with lollipop again >< can you try the same thing and share the results please ? you have to in a dark room to see the bands btw and a pure black wallpaper as your home screen
[Galaxy Tab S General] nunein:
From what I read - yes. And I recognized many app updates where it was mentioned that an app was updated for supporting 'to write to sd card'.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ross_L:
That's odd, I am able to add the camera by going settings > device > lock screen > shortcuts.

I'll try the black wallpaper tonight and report back. Could you upload the wallpaper you're using, so we are both testing using the same one.

Typically, the lit up touch key issue has returned. This is with power saving mode disabled and touch key lights disabled.

any way to root 5.0.2 tab s 8.4 ( T 705 ) ???????? :(:(:(
[Galaxy Tab S General] mamali.z:
hey ross ! ty for for your time trying and explaining stuff mate much appreciate :) still cant see that setting but i guess its cuz im using the finger print security option ? im not sure thats the only thing i can think of :S and aboutt he wallpaper here it is so we can have both exact same wallpaper => " https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/551355052401508353/7Yzy5zsu.png " its a high ress wallpaper even tho its just black hehe but i mean the chance of it being outside of screen or stretched is zero , thank you so much mate for giving your time trying and helping with this stuff :P

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

hehe guess what it was duo the fact that im using finger print security option :P so i just set it on swipe and it gave me all the shortcut options for camera and browser and other stuff

[Galaxy Tab S General] mamali.z:
Tap Settings > Display.

Set the Lock Screen Notifications switch to Off.

does this help ?

if not try this " http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/g...-screen-notifications-on-samsung-smartphones/ "
[Galaxy Tab S General] omniphil:
Hmmm, well I want the notifications because in Lollipop apparently it wont show the notifications in the notification bar any longer on the lock screen.

So if I turn off notification then I can never see anything on the lock screen at all, I have to unlock to check notifications.

Would be nice to have notification, but not have it turn on the screen every time.

Would be even nicer if we had a notification LED, would make this much easier ;)

---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

It might only be the default text messaging app that lights up the screen. I'll have to keep checking, but no option in the setting will turn that "feature" off ;)
[Galaxy Tab S General] mamali.z:
thats how i have it actually it shows the notifications on lock screen yet it doesnt turn on the screen every time i get a new one

Downgrade

Hello everyone ! are there any experts here who can tell me if its possible to downgrade from this latest update on galaxy tab s 8.4 lte ( lollipop 5.0.2 hong kong ) back to the stock kitkat rom via odin? is it possible at all or not thanks alot , "i do have the exact same rom as i use to run before lollipop btw i got it from samsung website so it is official "
[Galaxy Tab S General] sirichais:
Go ahead. It working. Use odin3 , and cf auto root twrp t800 work perfect.

And install kitkat sd card patch from play store.

Brief review

I didn't wait for italian OTA update and went ahead with odin.

I first tried the Hong Kong ROM, and I liked a lot. But I had only a problem, ROM language was italian, but Keyboard was only english.

To be brief, I solved this only problem installing the NEE (North Europe) ROM and I've found all the languages I need.

Another little inconvenient, related to Lollipop and not to region, was that my Tablet was near full. As you would have to know, ART needs more apps space than Dalvik, so procedure wasn't able to "apply upgrade" to every app.

I solved this factory resetting and using Google default restore. I'm satisfied about how it worked, for example I found the exact Nova Launcher desktop with all widgets and configuration I've put. In most of apps it's enough to log in again. In few words, it's not so powerful like Titanium but it's enough to be satisfied without any root.

I tested SD Card writings with Total Commander, now it works after you enable the app, another reason to root BEFORE.

I didn't root because warranty of course, and because too many important apps will not work like my bank apps adn Sky Go.

I like a lot the new graphic and animations, now I can see them all over a lot of apps, it's a real pleasure even if I continue to prefer a darker interface. I even like the lock screen notifications, I'll tryto explore better any new option.

The battery is much much better, I don't think in miracle but probabily tablet deserved a calibration I tried before without success. I'm quite sure that resetting to factory state helped. Before I was losing 35-40%/hour SOT, and 5-6% screen off, I was ready to bring tablet in Samsung laboratories and I exactly waited for testing it again with Lollipop.

Well, I was right, for example this morning after 3h 13 minutes and 1h 18m SOT I've lost 23%: it's near three times better.

Finally, before I had lags for sure, now they completely disappeared and I feel the tablet even so fast that became quite difficult to control :)

This is the first time I use Odin, maybe I'll flash again when italian version will arrive just to have the real official one but I'm sure I'll not need any refactorying.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mamali.z:
That is nice to hear mate I'll stick with Hong Kong rom till till the official rom for my country comes out too and yes I'm getting much better batter results with lollipop compare to kitkat
[Galaxy Tab S General] antonio.talamo:
I'am italian too and i've installed the Hong Kong ROM. Work perfectly. Italian language exist XD you had to choose Samsung keyboard as default (There is the chinese keyboard as preset) then you can download italian language for keyboard :P anyway i think that i will install italian ROM too when it comes out... Not because i have problem... But just because flash is very easy xD
[Galaxy Tab S General] galenlau:
I have updated my tabs to lollopop and root it. After that, I found the my tab s reboot frequently when the battery level drops to about 20%. Sometimes the screen shows some green lines before reboot.

Anyone has encountered similar problem?
[Galaxy Tab S General] pakatus:
Ok...took the plonge and installed it on my Portuguese Tablet...result...softbrick.

The issue is that when odin is flashing the hidden.img, it will check CSC against the one on the tablet.

If it fails, it will brick and you're a bit scared (i was).

so, after a lot of reading, i understood i had to remove hidden.img and cache.img from the tar.md5 and rebuild the tar.

I did it for the:

Baseband Version: T705XXUI1BOD5

Build Version: LRX22G.T705XXU1BOD5

Android Version: 5.0.2

https://meocloud.pt/link/31f6f1dc-15a5-42b4-b837-99094a73551c/PDA_JS5.tar.md5/

It wont wipe your instalation, but i advise a factory reset after installing.

Working for several hours on mine with LTE + wifi connectivity.

As allways and on XDA...flash it at your own risk.
[Galaxy Tab S General] penjiwang:
Me experience same problem. Now even worse when battery at 100% the green lines still appear and reboot or 'hang'. My tab only stable a bit when using while on charger but the green lines still appear a couple times. I notice when green lines appear, mobile network will become no service.

Need helps to fix this.

[Galaxy Tab S General] TheTAMAS:
I read it earlier too but wasn't sure if our problem is same..

:rolleyes:

So, I should download that file and flash with Odin?..
[Galaxy Tab S General] pakatus:
It will work for you...but it might change you csc as well.

For me, that wasn't a problem...it got me lp and my tablet back :)

But first...in which part the flash failed? Hidden.img.ext4?
[Galaxy Tab S General] TheTAMAS:
Yes..

cache.img

hidden.img

FAIL!
[Galaxy Tab S General] pakatus:
Exactly my issue....I fixed it removing those files from flash.

It won't wipe your instalation...but maybe u should consider doing it afterwards.

Good luck :)

Can you guys share your battery life with lollipop? I see some ppl claiming 8hrs of screen time which seems impossible to me. I get around 6hrs is something wrong with my batter or that's about right?
[Galaxy Tab S General] galenlau:
So it is the problem of hardware and not related to recent upgrade?
[Galaxy Tab S General] ilian:
The description that you made is the same as my. In my case it was hardware - the main board.

But surprisingly, my region wasn't even different, just a different carrier.. I flashed Vodafone in EE tab.. :rolleyes:

[Galaxy Tab S General] Ross_L:
I've had to revert back to KitKat. The touch key light issue became annoying and battery life went from an easy 10hrs off of one charge on KitKat to 5hrs on Lollipop. It seems like Samsung didn't really test this update before they released it and just put it out so users felt like they were getting some sort of support for their device. It's a shame because the speed of Lollipop on the Tab S is brilliant, but it is too much hassle for my liking.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mamali.z:
Hey ross which lollipop rom where you using and the 10 hrs you mentioned was screen time? Last night i did actually downgrade to kitkat but then again I upgrade back to lollipop I dunno why I felt like it's not as beauty as lollipop even tho i feel kitkat is much smoother and also installing apps is much faster on kitkat compare to slow instalation on lollipop and ofc the back lights I dunno i might go back to kitkat and give it another try tbh
[Galaxy Tab S General] Ross_L:
Hi, At first I was using the rom on the first page of this thread. I then reverted back to the UK KitKat Rom and did the OTA updates. On KitKat I get on average 10hrs screen on time since my battery was replaced by Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mamali.z:
hmm i dunno i feel like i might roll back to kitkat again and give it a week to see , if the battery life is as good as lollipop i might stick to kitkat till maybe one day they release 5.1 for tab s

[Galaxy Tab S General] mamali.z:
not unless you perform a factory reset after flashing , it is common to do a wipe cache after updating your OS and some say factory reset is also indeed but if you dont feel any major lags / slow downs just with a wipe cache then you dont have to do the factory reset .
