[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timg11:
I have a new Tab S 10.5 SM-T800 with firmware T800XXU1ANFB. I want to download a copy of the exact ROM it shipped with before I start making changes.

I have found various sites with "stock" ROMs for various countries, but only one for the USA, () and the downloads don't work.

This site has a number of ROMs, but only for countries other than the USA.

This site has a number of choices, but I don't understand the region codes. My tablet does not show a "region" in its information:

[IMG="Existing Stock Firmware"]http://i.imgur.com/YcbfNJn.png[/IMG]
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
That is a pretty old firmware, why would you ever want to keep it?

Any way it's available here:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/32010/T800XXU1ANFB_T800XAR1ANF6_XAR/

Or

http://samsung-updates.com/details/30506/Galaxy_Tab_S_10.5_WiFi/SM-T800/XAR/T800XXU1ANFB.html

You can also install TWRP first and then make a full backup, but this will trip Knox or you can root with one of the methods in this forum that don't trip Knox then make a backup with FLASHFIRE.

If you want to check your region code:

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timg11:
Thanks! How did you know that the region code XAR was the US version? I do not see that code anywhere in the build number or elsewhere in the tablet.

The sammobile site lists the XAR code as "Cellular South". I saw that in many lists, but never suspected that was the one I wanted. Given that the SM-T800 does not have cellular capability, that seems like an odd designation.

I just need root for Titanium Backup, so the simplest method is best. The non Knox tripping method sounds good. I was looking at the Android Toolkit method.

Are you referring to the KINGOROOT method in this thread?

It says "To get root it is required to downgrade to a XXU1ANF8". It looks like XXU1ANF8 is earlier than XXU1ANFB? (sheesh - two versions different only by an 8 or a B - it's like they are trying to cause confusion :confused: )

So I should flash XXU1ANF8 first (using Odin? that won't trigger Knox?) then use KINGOROOT?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timg11:
Now that I know what I'm looking for, I can recommend an working download location:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358555496

Reasonable download speed - no scams or games....

Thanks given to XDA member open1your1eyes0

sammobile.com will dribble your download out over a day if you don't pay.

samsung-updates.com links to two sites that do not offer any free download (rapidgator will never give you the file, but will happily serve you plenty of spam as long as you're stupid enough to keep trying). Check these reviews for rapidgator
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
It says to root you need XXU1ANF8 or earlier.

XXU1ANFB is an earlier firmware than XXU1ANF8, so you don't need to downgrade. Just root and you're done.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timg11:
This site shows ANF8 (2014-07-07) as earlier than ANFB (2014-10-29)

This site also shows ANF8 (2014 June) as earlier than ANFB (2014 July)

I realize that there is a lot of bad information out there, and you clearly know what's going on. If you think my current ANFB firmware is OK for KINGOROOT, than I would be happy to proceed and not have to flash with ANF8 first.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
It could be, however my tablet came with ANFB and then got updated to ANF8 which seems backwards.

Its irrelevant anyway. It will either work or it wont, so just go ahead. If it doesnt work, flash ANF8.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timg11:
With Firmware XXU1ANFB, KINGOROOT gives "Root Failed Error Code 0x136c3"
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Try king root .
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timg11:
I went ahead and flashed ANF8 before I saw your reply.

With Firmware XXU1ANF8, KingoRoot succeeded. So it seems that ANF8 is indeed required for KingoRoot.

The only strange thing is that after installing SuperSU, System app remover does not find Kingouser anywhere in the list of applications?

Should I just move on, or does that mean there is a problem?

Edit - I found that KingoUser changed its name to SuperUser. I deleted it.

At this point, can I now use Odin to flash the latest KitKat firmware (T800XXU1ANK1_T800XAR1ANI1_XAR.zip) and still maintain root?

Or do I have to use Flashfire?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
You have to use FLASHFIRE to flash any roms and keep root, it's actually easier to use than ODIN.

Why Kitat, you now have a Lollipop update?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timg11:
I probably will go ahead and install the latest Lollipop.

Flashfire ---- still beta only, I assume? The testing page says "After leaving the test, you need to un-install the test version and re-install the regular version from the Play Store"

As far as I can tell there is no "regular version" in the Play Store" currently.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
It's posted in my root thread.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timg11:
I'm getting ready to finish the process and move to Lollipop.

Just to clarify, there are two root threads that you started.

I followed this one to get my tablet to its current state.

You started this thread July 7. (New root method with KINGOROOT)

There is also this thread that you started a month earlier. ([GUIDE] How to root without tripping knox - Kitkat and Lollipop...)

I think I should start with the second thread (3129484), and pick up with step 11 (Flashfire). Then I use flashfire to load the latest Lollipop stock ROM file: T800XXU1BOE2_T800XAR1BOC5_XAR.zip

Correct?

Lets talk about battery life.

I for one am getting terrible battery life. I use the at&t variant 100% stock and unrooted, I get maybe 8 hours of use with 2 hours of screen on time if I'm lucky. I only have a few apps like Facebook , clash of clans, imdb and a weather app that has sync turned off. Maybe someone can provide some suggestions for me to try and track down my issue.

[LG G Flex 2] martinsavvy:
I do not have this phone myself, but I am thinking of buying it. Your best bet would be to root and debloat any unnecessary ATT software. I had the first flex and ATT had so many preinstalled apps. Second, would be to use a cpu control and change the frequencies or the governer. These are probably your only options until At&t decides to release 5.1
[LG G Flex 2] Intub8:
The only reason I haven't rooted yet is because I haven't found a way to return it to stock if things go bad.
[LG G Flex 2] moxxon:
Jeez,thats terrible! I have EU H955 version, 5.1.1, and i am always getting around 4h SOT. Never below 3,5 hrs, sometimes 4,5.
[LG G Flex 2] motumbo:
At first time battery life was extremely bad. What I did: I rooted, debloated using Titanium, then Greenify in root mode. There is one process named LG MLT that drains battery quickly, you should hibernate that one specially. Now phone runs cool and battery last much longer.
[LG G Flex 2] erhnam:
I noticed a big change when i changed the way the phone uses positioning service to only use gps instead of also using wifi and celluar network.
[LG G Flex 2] Kidsnd274:
I'm getting around 3 hours screen on time, and even managed to play a little hearthstone (this game drains battery like hell)

All of this with the new 5.1 update
[LG G Flex 2] people211:
Wanna like this phone, but battery is concerning. My huawei mate 7 would still have 60% around this time Of day. I'm at 38% now with still 2 hours to go...
[LG G Flex 2] NestorC:
What about SoT? I can buy G3 32gb for 330e or this for 365e, but I read a lot about bad battery life, even worts that G3, and a lot of other bugs and heat problems, are they fixed with 5.1 and is battery better with 5.1, some ss? Thanks, anyone can answer.
[LG G Flex 2] Stank0:
The battery life on mine was a little better b4 the update. I used to get almost 2 full days with light to moderate use. I posted screenshots a while ago somewhere here. It's slightly worse after I updated to 5.1.1 but still can get a whole 24 - 30 hrs no problem. I'm on Sprint though.
[LG G Flex 2] neovalkyr:
Yah i just upgraded to 5.1.1 (available since yesterday for me) and the battery life is way better. I do to have auto-sync turned off though. Been using for 12 hours so far and still at 70% 1.5 SOT so far played a game as well.
[LG G Flex 2] Intub8:
Hibernating lg mlt seems to have done the trick. Greenify with out root took care of it. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Note I get through the day with juice left. Any idea what that process does?

I am getting 2 days of use, with probable only like 3 hours of SOT. For me, more than acceptable, but I have noticed, BT kills this thing. If I stream in the car, forget it, it won't last half a day. Even when idle, if BT is on it's a drain.

Then check what apps are using data. Maybe you have facebook, hangouts, or whatever active. Overnight I use airplane mode since I'm asleep and can't respond anyway. During the day use power nap (xposed) + battery saver mode + greenify (root/xposed).
[LG G Flex 2] kunalmalviya:
I recently got one of this phones off ebay deal. So far the phone has been really good (after going to 5.1.1) other than the battery life which is super terrible. I leave for office at 8AM and by the time I am back around 6:30 in evening its already down to 8-9% with barely 1 hour of SOT. While using the phone I can clearly see battery going down by 1 percent every two minutes.

Have done everything listed in various thread on XDA to fix battery drain but nothing is helping. To summarize I have

- Rooted my phone

- Disable AT&T enhanced 4G LTE

- Tweak setting with kernel auditor

- Disable ATT bloatware

- Install greenify and amplify

- Installed CF.Lumen to control brightness

Not sure what I am missing here now. Any help is appreciated from you guys.
[LG G Flex 2] Albertinou:
Hello,

got my new H955. Updated to 15c, rooted, got xposed + amplify + greenify.

Its my first time using these mods. Do i need to edit something in settings of amplify and greenify? Or just leave everything as it is? Will it do its work?

Also disabled LG MLT. Any other apps i should dissable? I saw that huge list in other thread, but i want to disable only most battery sucking apps/processes
[LG G Flex 2] le grande magnetto:
What about SOT guys? screen seems too bright even at zero, however SOT seems to be too low, like 3h max. Is that normal? I dont play any games, just use it for reading, snapchat, email, LTE most of the time.. I charge it everyday, airplane at night.
[LG G Flex 2] jgolf:
3 hrs SOT is about normal for me. Sometimes I get 3.5 hrs, and I suppose I've seen 4 hrs once or twice. I've never had a problem getting through a full day. Regarding the bright screen -- it took me awhile to get used to how bright it was. I played around with some screen dimmer apps but I didn't really like using two different controls for the screen because it would flub up auto adjust (or adaptive) brightness. I don't even notice the bright screen anymore.

Just recently on my Flex 2, the battery has been draining insanely fast. I can let it sit without anything on (WiFi, BT, Data, etc) and it'll be 50% maybe 5 or 6 hours in having not been used except as a clock. Pretty sure it's a bad battery, just a bit hesitant to pull it apart right now, I've got to dig out my G2 first.
[LG G Flex 2] L0th:
Ok, so.

My Flex 2 is a H955, 5.1.1. On the first two days of usage I had a lot concerns with battery life, since this morning.

This is my current situation:

- no root

- Smart Launcher 3 Pro

- Wi-fi or datas turned on

- Gps, autosync, "gestures", BT off

- Greenyfied Facebook, Messenger

- a screen dimmer

- MTL service turned off

I've managed to have 3,20 hours SOT, with other 2,5 estimated.

Hope this helps
[LG G Flex 2] Masteryates:
My Mrs's G Flex 2 (H950) lasts about a day with 2-3 hours of SOT. Google play services usually are at the top of the battery hog list. On holiday last week, my G2 was easily lasting twice as long as her GF2. I love the look and feel of the GF2 but I don't think I could put up with such bad battery life. :crying:
[LG G Flex 2] L0th:
Do you use Greenify? Stopped MLT service? Turned off all the gestures/movements? tried everything?

Anyway, I'm an (ex)user of a G2 -stolen, and I think you can't really compare the two phones. G2's battery life was impressive while the GF2 is clearly an issue, but with some adjustments it's not so bad, after all.
[LG G Flex 2] Masteryates:
Its not possible to access the service menu on the H950. We've been down that road to try and disable MLT. :crying:

As a more experienced user, I went through her phone last week and disabled everything I could. I'd like to install greenify but the phone is new and rooting would void the warranty. There are no factory images for the H950 which means you end up with a brick if anything goes wrong hacking wise.

Hopefully, the M update will really help the battery out, (if it ever appears.)

What is causing Google Maps to start every time?

Want to create your own keyboard sliding sounds?WM6 comes with three by default, and you can't add custom ones...

Or can you?

Using a registry editor, nav to:

\HKLM\Software\HTC\SlidingSound

There are 3 keys: 0,1, and 2. These represent the three current sounds: piano, xylophone, and whatever the third is.

Make a copy of one of these and name it 4. Inside 4, set Default to the name for your sound. Then make the In and Out point to the appropriate wav's in the Windows directory.

Soft reset your device, then go to Start > Settings > Keyboard Sliding Sounds. Your new entry should appear in the list.

Hope it helps!!

My Take

For those of you who are having trouble creating amd understanding the reg file, any easy way to do it is to just edit the ones already listed. That really is just the easiest. Just make sure you copy your wav files into the Windows folder on your device. And for a treat, my sounds; a Lightsaber!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] madcow_mda:
i guess the easiest way is to

1) download the wav-files and rename then to 3_in.wav and 3_out.wav (the number 3 depends on the number of previously installed sounds)

2) edit the registry on your device (as instructed in the 1st post)

3) connect to activesync.

4) explore your device, go to the windows directory (on the device). and then copy the .wav files into the windows directory.

5) restart the device

6) edit sliding sound settings and it should work

i first copy original wav to sd. then use the rename trick. right click on original name and select rename. then using the touch screen keyboard press the ctrl key + c. then take the sound u want to use and right click it and select rename. then use touch screen keyboard and press ctrl key + v. now that u have rename ur new sounds with the original name, hightlight both in and out sounds and copy them too the windows folder, overwritting original sound. then go to settings and change sliding keyboardsounds with the original name of one u over written.

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] zcink:
There is a really easy way to do this on the HTC Wing

Set your Sliding Keyboard to Wind chimes sound. ActiveSync. Copy and Paste these two files into the Windows directory. It will ask you if you want to replace/overwrite the ones that are already there. Now when you open and close the Keyboard you will hear The Star Trek Original series Sliding door sound. No registry editing needed. Its really cool.

If you want to save the Wind Chimes for later use just copy and paste the files with these two names out of your Windows directory to a file on your PC.

Enjoy!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] zcink:
One Additional Thought

You can also go into the Registry afterward and change the name from Wind Chimes to Star Trek Door or whatever you want and it will show in the menu on your Keyboard Sliding App.

Also you can change the other two default sounds and rename them.
