[Galaxy Tab S General] 3DSammy:
My first two Android devices were a Nexus 5 and 10. I bought them precisely for the vaulted reasons that Nexus is famed. Both were rooted as soon as the hardware was verified to be working. Although the Nexus 5 is running MM 6.0.1 and Franco kernel r77 the N10 has remained in the old device drawer of lost toys while I use my Tab S 10.5 everyday. The TabS is rooted attack v5.0.2 without tripping KNOX as its still under warranty.

With all that said my Tab S is rock solid and I'm not missing any of the latest MM 6.0.1 features. Root gave me the essential mods (V4A, GMO Gesture Control, Busybox). Even with Nexus devices the stated upgrade period is 18 months so the 24 months mentioned above is not completely out of wack. The delay in those updates does seem excessive but at the end of the day is it more of a case of want than need? You could make a case for delayed security patches.

I will no doubt upgrade my TabS to MM in the projected April 2016 time period but it will not deter me from buying Samsung again as long as I get preserved value for the money. What has surprised me is that TWRP even added a feature or two which allowed M to forego Gravity Box thus avoiding another layer of possible problems.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
This is just my opinion and that's all it is.

The Android OS gets modded by every device manufacturer that installs it so that it will work as intended by that manufacturer on each model. This is due to the vast differences in hardware and so they can include all the great bloatware they think will make it better than the next guy's device.

Microsoft Windows does a similar thing as well BUT there is a limit to what hardware will run the OS. There is a limit to how much the OS can be modded by other parties. There is, unfortunately, no limit to the bloatware that Dell, Intel, Asus etc. can add to it.

I think there should be less messing about allowed by Google/Android to produce an OS that is more "standardized", for lack of a better word, and would limit the hardware used to run it. I think having 2 or 3 versions of Android to use would be much better than having a multitude of versions modded by manufacturers. I think downloading one version and being able to install it on 90% of the devices you own would be much better than waiting and waiting for Samsung and AT&T (for example) to spit an update out, a year+ after Android has been updated.

Just my humble opinion as an end user/customer.

End of my humble opinion ==================================================

I just posted this using a PC I built in 2007 - Intel P4 3.2ghz 2GB RAM on an Asus P5GPL motherboard running Windows 10! No I'm not too poor to buy a better PC, I have one. I use this box for the internet and just because I can...Wish I could do this with my Android devices ;)

Good to know their staff don't have a clue!
[Galaxy Tab S General] SkOrPn:
Yeah, IF this device gets MM then it will get two years of support at least. But some believe the TAB S will not get MM, and if that turns out to be true then it isn't even two years of support, and sadly for a device that in 2014 was considered the very best #1 rated Android tab. I agree this is solid hardware, but having solid software support for years to come is even more crucial. Without proper software support devices become bricks sooner, rather than later. Right?

Android 6 in April 2016

leaked roadmap http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...-December-S6-in-January-S4-is-a-no-go_id75917
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
So where did the list below come from, it look official, and it has the T805 marshmallow update from April 2016, then a list of device a week ago showing devices are getting Marshmallow does not show the T805 or any Tab S1, so what gives???

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] xlorxlarge:
no wonder that Samsung :mad:
[Galaxy Tab S General] haimann95:
That's right. I owned an Asus device before my Tab S and it never got any updates. The support was horrible. The Samsung support may not be the best, but it's still better than asus. [emoji23]

http://tabletmonkeys.com/samsung-galaxy-tabpro-s-windows-10-2-in-1-announced/

Bye-Bye S 10.5 been nice knowin' ya!
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Can i be on AC 24/7 so it can replace my notebook, or do you have to charge it up and then use the battery till it needs recharging again and then recharge and on and on and on.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
Well I don't leave my laptop or any phone or tablet on AC 24/7. It destroys the battery. On the laptop if I'm going to be home using it for long periods of time I pull the battery out after I connect the charger. Not feasible on other devices.

So I would say no, you'll need to keep charging and discharging like with any other tablet I suppose.

I haven't seen this Samsung device yet as its just been released.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
My Win10 2in1 Tablet can be connected to the mains all the time, it only charges the battery when the level drops below 95%, A lot of notebooks you can select 80% so no battery damage is done, On android if you are connected to the charger and the battery level drops to 99% it will start to charge to 100% and then stop and this will happen over and over and this damages the battery.

I only charge my Tab S to 80% and then an alarm goes off and i disconnect the charger, I have only charged my Tab S to 100% 3 or 4 time in over a year, and this was just to calibrate the battery level gauge.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] xRevilatioNx:
Look under Phase 2. The 10.5 Tab S has been approved for marshmallow 6. that's the official list from Samsung. Can't wait!
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Yeah, We know the Tab S is on the old list for phase 2 as i posted above, the new list does not show the Tab S

http://www.sammobile.com/2015/12/31...nched-in-2014-and-later-will-get-marshmallow/
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
So Samsung gives all phones/tablets 2 major updates, so lollipop and marshmallow, sooner or later.

Thanks RoyBM

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] SkOrPn:
Yeah but they said Flagships. The question is now, does Samsung consider the 2014 TAB S a major flagship? lol
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
The Tab S was an Flagship in 2014 i would think.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] SkOrPn:
Yeah I'm pretty sure its a Flagship device. But not sure if Samsung thinks so.
[Galaxy Tab S General] edan1979:
they did abandon several flagship device before this...
[Galaxy Tab S General] lartomar2002:
You guys are not making me feel very happy. ?
[Galaxy Tab S General] RoyBM:
This is sort of off topic, my i reinstalled fresh firmware on my tab s 8.4 through Smart Switch.

It looks like 5.0.2 has changed a bit. They seemed to have added Smart Manager to the apps. Battery life is on par with 4.x.x

[Galaxy Tab S General] mightywhites29111971:
Does anyone know or not? As previously stated I emailed Samsung x 2 and did not get an answer. This tablet when released was a flagship tablet and the way Samsung has treated it and its owners is shameful, but do they care?
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
They got your money....that's all that matters. You got what you got when you opened the box, anything else you got after that is gravy.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Well if the S1 does not get v6 i will likely look at other brands other than Samsung for my next tablet, so no new money for them, Sony looks good, need to make a list of other brands and features, I would like virtual buttons that move, not the fixed soft buttons on an Samsung for use in portrait mode, my old Lenovo tablet has that.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] TimurAlaskara_TR:
u guys need to know that we should be lucky that we got android 5 atleast...

The Galaxy Tab Pro which was released 5 months before our Tab S was shipped with KitKat 4.4.2

and it still runnes 4.4.2 except of the 12.2 Inch Model...........

it didnt got any Android Update which i think is very sad.

However, samsung was better in the past

I am still owning my Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) which was released with 4.0 and became updated from ICS to JB and from JB to KK... (ICS->JB->KK).
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
I thought the Tab Pro had Lollipop or is getting it very soon.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] bubenking:
That is what i find. Galaxy Tab Pro really hasnt get not lollipop. start with kitkat and still on kitkat.

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_say...er_get_lollipop_or_marshmallow-blog-15186.php

sorry for my english
[Galaxy Tab S General] machx1111:
i will not be buying another Samsung in the future (tablet or phone)
[Galaxy Tab S General] RoyBM:
yup and Samsung has already tweeted on their UK twitter they are not going to update the tab pro any further.

So obviously they either don't have that 2 year rule in the UK, or they just don't care enough period.

Im thinking we wont see 6.0.

http://www.androidauthority.com/sam...-or-marshmallow-for-galaxy-tabpro-8-4-657750/
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Samsung were selling the Tab S1 with the buggy v5.0.2? pre-installed, not even the stable v5.1 if we do not get v6 i will not be buying another Samsung tablet or phone again.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] 3DSammy:
I have May 8th circled on my calendar as that is the day my warranty expires. At that point I'll be installing TWRP and the most stable Marshmallow firmware available even if it is stock.

I'm sympathetic to your comments but for me the hardware and ability to root was far more important than the manufacturer's upgrade schedule. I bought my TabS 10.5 knowing full well that Samsung is incompetent with software updates. I was lucky that a method to root and maintain warranty was available mere months after my purchase as that allowed me to:

1. Remove bloat

2. Theme TouchWiz

3. Install Viper4Android

4. Install a few must have root apps

Sure I'd love to have Marshmallow now, like on my Nexus devices but this AMOLED screen in a 16:10 aspect ratio trumps the other hassles in dealing with Samsung.

Just my point of view.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Yeah, but what about the regular guy who does not know how to do all that, it should work great out of the box and not have to disable apps, root, and flash roms to make it work acceptably, and roms ported from other models usually have a list of thing that don't work, that is why i have rooted, but not flashed my S1.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] bubenking:
Every information i have

A bit weeks ago i see a picture from samsung and on it it stand that samsung galaxy tab s 10.5 - aprooved

And

Galaxy tab s 8.4 waiting aprooval

for marshmallow update.

It was first time i buy a flagship device in my life. My other devices was mid range devices and they get one android OS update at least. It will be sad if my only flagship device get less support of samsung than mine other device :( i guve much money for that :/

Example my Note 3 Neo (downgraded note 3) started with 4.3 and get 4.4 and even 5.1.1 later (note 3 only get 5.0!)

Nothibg here is understandable.

I also dont know why samsung have not give lollipop to Tab Pro. Its very sad because it dont got even one OS upgrade WTF

BUT i also see from samsung site that samsung want start constantly updates (better support and so) to newer flagship devices like s5, s6, note4, note5, s6e, s6e+, Tab S2 AND our Tab S too. They will start sometime with that and the devices will get every month updates.

So you can see samsung still support our device which is good sign for marshmallow update.

They also said all flagship devices getting marshmallow relased after 2014... however tab pro was also relased in 2014 but it will defenetly not updated because it have not even lollipop.

But ours is defenetly a flagship released in the middle of 2014 and it would be very bad from samsung if we wont get it because they said we will... (because launch after 2014). And it woule be even more bad than they did on tab pro because they "confirmed" the update for us.

Thats all information what i have
[Galaxy Tab S General] markmessier8888:
So to confirm..is Lolipop 5.0.2 the newest firmware for the Tab S 8.4 LTE? Thx
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
As far as i know, no Tab S has higher than v5.0.2 officially, though you can flash V5.1 or V6 roms

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] markmessier8888:
Thx John

Would you know if the v5.1 or v6 has better battery life?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Sorry i have never tried them, i am still on kitkat.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] bubenking:
Chineese Galaxy Tab S 8.4 has 5.1.1 officially -.-

why you use kitkat still?
[Galaxy Tab S General] fred_be9300:
Link?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
kitkat v4.4.2 is more stable than lollipop v5.0.2, there is no new features to warrant the upgrade, now v6 is another matter a lot of new features but it has to be stable or i will not upgrade, So if the S1 ever get`s marshmallow i will watch to see any problems it may have or have not, if it`s stable i will upgrade.

I have kitkat rooted, with the microsd fix, I have disabled/frozen any apps i do not use, I use Sony power nap, to keep my S1 from waking up in sleep mode (wakelocks) causing the battery to drain, disable sync, dont use the alarm, In sleep mode my Tab S1 wifi only uses 1% battery every 23h40m though every new app you install can reduce this so you have to keep a check.

I use my S1 to watch video most of the time, at 360p or 432p as this seems to be a balance between detail and power usage approx between 500-600ma, the more detail the harder the cpu/gpu has to work so more power is used, I use the stock video player, I don't know if it upscales the video as 360p or 432p seems detailed enough to me, I have the brightness set to auto -5 and i have the adaptive display/rgb sensor set to auto even though it uses a bit more power though i think it white balance's the stock video player and a few other supported apps.

Browsing is a battery killer on tablets using an oled display all that white eats the battery, I have tried a few browsers that turn the white black (night mode) but i dont like effect, so i keep browsing to an minimum.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] RoyBM:
the newest build of 5.0.2 you get from Smart Switch is really good and very stable.

I get about the same battery life as I did when I was on kitkat.
[Galaxy Tab S General] bubenking:
also smart manager which i really enjoy :D
[Galaxy Tab S General] BraianV:
I have both the tab pro 8 4 and tab s 8.4. The tab pro has oficial Support for cm team so its updated to mm and has no bugs but i love the amoled screen on a tablet like tab s.

Im running alpha cm13 that cant mirror to tv, cant use camera and fingerprint sensor but its allright i guess
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
That`s the problem with flashing rom`s they have a list of features that do not work, that is why i do not flash roms, though i might have to if we do not get Marshmallow.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] TheGoD:
The 5.0 stock rom on this tablet is way more responsive than Kitkat ever was (both tested with and w/o custom kernels) and its completely stable for me. I don't know about battery life but I didn't notice any difference.

If you don't mind me asking, why do you need that big of a duration that you are ready to live with serious drawbacks (No sync, below 480p video and surfing in night mode wtf)? I am seriously curios.

If YGDP tool not working for you use sptool but where to find firmware for sptool...

its easy, Load your .CPB in YGDP tool. Once it loaded you will have new folder "DownFiles" in YGDP directory for example in my case

C:\YLXZGJ\YGDP\DownFiles

Here you will find your sptool firmware, grap it past somewhere

Flash with sptool

Just FYI: I have a Coolpad F1 (which is the same hardware as the A310). I tried a bunch of ROM's incl. the 7.1.2 Lineage one, but non worked with Pokemon Go (it's my daughters "gaming phone"). So I tried the Micromax stock ROM - and Pokeman Go works. It's a terrible 4.4 ROM with a lot of trash programs built in, so really not worth considering - but Pokeman Go works..

My phone has TWRP 2.8.x installed, but I flashed it with fastboot (only boot & system), which I extracted from the stock cpb-file (4.4.031.P0.141015.8297W_I01.CPB). No need to use ygdp at all - besides using it to split the cpb-file into the flashable images. Wipe data, dalvik and cache in TWRP and then flash with fastboot the boot.img and system.img. I had some problem flashing the system.img, it worked with first formatting it and then flash with "fastboot flash -u system.img".
[Micromax Canvas Nitro A310/A311] Rajesh8767:
First install coolpad driver . because ygdp coolpad software.

Then use sp tool and flash
