thelowly j7 just got upgraded,. *sigh*
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
If the Tab S1 does not get updated to Android M or N, I will not buy another Samsung`s branded product.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] xRevilatioNx:
If it hasn't happened by now, I'm resigned to the fact, an upgrade never will. I went and bought the iPad pro. The tablet is a beast. An absolute speed demon. The retina display on the iPad Pro is amazing too. I'm never going back to Samsung. At least with apple, you know you're getting operating system upgrades, for the life of the tablet. Bye bye Samsung. This jilted lover has left your ass behind.
[Galaxy Tab S General] :
Lets all learn coding and knock out a really good ROM .. only joking :laugh:
[Galaxy Tab S General] PFC Hudson:
Umm... Apple don't support their devices for long at all either, just ask owners of 1st and 2nd generation iPads and iPod Touches
[Galaxy Tab S General] xRevilatioNx:
That would be absolutely incorrect. Please fact check before you make false claims . Every iPad has support accept first generation, and those devices are almost a decade old. (Check upgrade chart for Apple below) The point is, they have devices that are quite a few years old, and they are still getting updated to to this day. In fact, they support their products, with iOS updates, much longer than any other device out there.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
iOS 10

"That's where Apple draws the new line in the sand for 2016. Its forthcoming mobile operating system update won't support for iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and iPod touch 5th gen."

NFF here! EVER. I'm probably going to go with a Windows tablet from MS.

I'm done with Apple and Android....

THIS

Is what we WON'T be getting on OUR tablets.....

But you know you've hit rock bottom when newegg flash has your device on sale!
[Galaxy Tab S General] PFC Hudson:
So I was wrong about the iPad 2 but right about every other device I listed and yet you're trying to sound me out like I was completely wrong about every thing *slow claps*

I mentioned the iPad2 because I have a friend who still uses one but she's always complaining and saying that with each firmware update the tablet performs worse and worse, almost as if Apple are subvertly trying to get her to upgrade

Still, you're coming across like a rabid Apple fanboy so I have a feeling my post will be completely wasted on you and you'll just come back with another pithy retort
[Galaxy Tab S General] DionWhite33:
Thats why I root
[Galaxy Tab S General] ChardC:

[Galaxy Tab S General] snapper.fishes:
There is still no official version of CM for the T800, and does CM support multi windows? It's probably one of the main reasons why people chose a Tab S.
[Galaxy Tab S General] obsydian:
WTF ridiculous if they don't. As much as I detest apple crap at least they support devices longer. Samsung just drop a product within a year.
[Galaxy Tab S General] 3DSammy:
I doubt the S1 will receive Lollipop 5.1.1 let lone Android M but it seems likely a Dev will create a near stock M ROM and my warranty will be up anyway by that time. Right now my S1 is rock solid on rooted stock 5.0.2 without tripping Knox so I do not feel hard pressed. Things will change when my warranty expires.
[Galaxy Tab S General] deniz1905:
Galaxy tab pro 12.2 just received 5.1.1. So i believe our tabs get 5.1.1 at least.
[Galaxy Tab S General] xRevilatioNx:
We are getting both.
[Galaxy Tab S General] InfiniteNomad:
Been running 5.1.1. for awhile now on my T700... Nightlies.
[Galaxy Tab S General] YOYO41:
Nobody knows what update are we getting,so stop the reverse jinx think and calm down
[Galaxy Tab S General] TimurAlaskara_TR:
if we will not get Android 6 we can Flash cyanogenmod. Dont worry about multiwindow; Stock Android M has got the multiwindow Feature :)

katiliyorum.
[Galaxy Tab S General] snapper.fishes:
According to the XDA posts on Pixel C today the multi window feature still hasn't been added to AOSP, which isn't a good sign.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Sprelle:
I have both tab s 8.4 and tab pro 12.2, and as the tab s got lollipop 5.0.2 back in april,

I doubt Google will update it to 5.1.1 when they are so far behind on most devices.

I think it is more likely that tab s will get M, whilst the 12.2 will be stuck on 5.1.1.

Just my opinion after being let down by Samsung over time.

Great products, but slow on updates.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
I would love to see each app able to set it`s own brightness and volume level as i am sick of having to adjust every time :crying:

Androidcentral guessing Tab S will get Marshmallow

But cant post the link since I am new here.... (:

"Will my phone get updated to Marshmallow? Our list of confirmations, guesses and wild speculation

BY JERRY HILDENBRAND

Tuesday, Oct 6, 2015 at 2:18 pm EDT

Samsung hasn't publicly (read: officially) announced a comprehensive list of phones that will receive the Android 6 update. That won't stop us from guessing. Here's how we think it will go down.

We think these Samsung phones and tablets will receive the Marshmallow update:

Galaxy Note 5

Galaxy S6 edge+

Galaxy S6

Galaxy S6 edge

Galaxy S6 Active

Galaxy Note 4

Galaxy Note Edge

Galaxy S5

Galaxy Tab S2

Galaxy Tab S

Galaxy Note 10.1

Galaxy Note Pro

We think these phones might get the Marshmallow update, but we're not going to be holding our breath:

Galaxy Alpha

Galaxy Tab Pro series

Galaxy Tab 4 series

Anything else (and Samsung makes about a million different models) is unknown. If your Samsung phone or tablet is less than 18 months old, have hope. If not, have some of that Marshmallow Vodka before I pour it all out on the curb."

[Galaxy Tab S General] mordeith:
but ,no one seems to have it ,as of yet for the 700..
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Marshmallow is the only update i am interested in, I am still on kitkat on my T800, lollipop is just too buggy and does not offer anything over kitkat for me to install it.

And i will wait to see the reviews of marshmallow before i upgrade, does any Samsung phone/tablet have marshmallow yet?

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] rookie12:
Are you on AOSP KITKAT OR SAMSUNG KITKAT?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Just stock kitkat, I have not flashed my T800 but i have rooted it, stock kitkat is amazingly stable, I ran my T800 for 165 day continually no shutdowns or reboots, I only ever charge to 80% and never let it go below 20% , I think i have fully charged mt T800 only 3 time since i bought it before christmas and i use it every day.

If you want an explanation of my charging habits just ask.

John
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Does Marshmallow give better battery`s life when video`s are playing or your browsing the internet, most of my battery life is used by the Google voice to text which i use to read my sci-fi books, My battery drain while my tablet is sleeping is very good as i have a lot of apps disabled, I can go nearly 24hrs in sleep for 1% battery life and i am still on KitKat, It while my tablet is being used that kills my battery.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Lightn1ng:
My iPad 2 from 2011 just got iOS 9 a while ago. Why not the Tab S from 2014?
[Galaxy Tab S General] :
This just cannot be true. I'm sure update will arrive later this year, Q3.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Bobacco:
It might got iOS 9, but surely it didn't get all the features. Airplay being one of them.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Lightn1ng:
Still runs smoothly.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mightywhites29111971:
MIght have something to do with Apple not having hundreds of devices they can't support properly like Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab S General] :
Well the MM update on my s5 is killing the battery . If this is the way forward i think i'll stick to LP
[Galaxy Tab S General] Lightn1ng:
Interesting, MM on my S5 has improved it drastically. What carrrier are you on
[Galaxy Tab S General] :
I'm on Three ( Hutchinson ) in the UK . can just over half a day on the s5 , but on my moto G3 on MM i get nearly 2 days .

Disabled as many useless apps as i can , and only have audials radio app installed , so i can say no rogue apps killing the battery .. i think lol
[Galaxy Tab S General] Lightn1ng:
Wipe your cache
[Galaxy Tab S General] :
already did . installed the new update yesterday through kies and still as bad :(
[Galaxy Tab S General] Lightn1ng:
Your next bet is to factory reset :(

---------- Post added at 08:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ----------

and guys I wouldn't think that not having 5.1.1 means we won't get mm. Samsung took my s5 straight from 5.0 to 6.0.1!
[Galaxy Tab S General] :
I did lol .. maybe it will settle down after a few days , have to wait and see . Thanks for the tips though NC :D
[Galaxy Tab S General] Lightn1ng:
G900F also has official CM13...
[Galaxy Tab S General] :
I'll have a look at the cm13 thread and see whats happening

I'm going to E-Mail Samsung about whether the Galaxy Note 1 will get Marshmallow... lol... let's see what they say.
[Galaxy Tab S General] :
Give them a model number from a different manufacturer , make it more interesting lol :p
[Galaxy Tab S General] 5warafat1:
Them clowns will make a silly excuse like " this device is too weak to handle marshmallow.....
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Am i in the wrong thread, why are we taking about the Note 1? and not being powerful enough for Marshmallow, are you taking about the Note 1 or the Tab S1 ??

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] :
I do believe NC was having a joke TB :laugh:

But back to MM , my S5 is on the june update now , Its not looking good for the Tab S :crying:
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
OK, OK, Now let`s stay on topic, how the hell are we going to get Samsung to, or find out if we are going to get MM before i have an heart attack, it`s almost July 2016.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
It being Samsung we're talking about here this seems highly unlikely but; what if we haven't received MM yet because they have plans to make the jump directly to N? That'd be awesome even if it is unlikely.
[Galaxy Tab S General] migmig0012@gmail.com:
this is impossible.
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
How so?
[Galaxy Tab S General] SkOrPn:
Actually NO its not impossible. Google is NOT dropping 32bit support until maybe Android O, so until 32bit is dropped completely it is most definitely possible. And considering the Exynos is a Samsung SoC (not a 3rd party SoC), they could easily update the SoC's source drivers for Android N without much effort "If they wanted to".

However, since we are talking Samsung here, they are just too damn lazy, and greedy to care about doing this and don't like to limit sales of new Android N based devices. So the words you were looking for is "This is Highly Unlikely"
[Galaxy Tab S General] migmig0012@gmail.com:
you know guys I would like see Android n on my lovely tab s.

but I don't think Samsung do some work like that foo us.(but I still hope)
[Galaxy Tab S General] SkOrPn:
Yeah that would be wonderful for the longevity of this device. But it's highly unlikely, although possible.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
Maybe if all of us sent Samsung a form letter and the link to this thread we could get an answer? :)

====================================

Dear Samsung,

Several of us at the xda forums will be sending you this same letter in an attempt to have you publicly state whether or not the Samsung Tab S will be the recipient of Android 6.xx aka Marshmallow. This way we would know in what direction we could move forward with this device and Samsung. This is NOT a plea for you to upgrade, it is a request for information in regards as to whether or not these devices will be upgraded.

Thanking you for your time, we are sincerely yours,

Members of the xda Developers Forums

====================================
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Do you have an Samsung email address to send this to, or do we have to fill in one of those stupid online forms.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] warriorking:
They started rolling out the MM update this week here in the States for the S2..

So hopefully ours is next......
[Galaxy Tab S General] SkOrPn:
We are probably a really small minority of people who are interested in information and or an upgrade. There are probably thousands of people who want an upgrade but knowing how to find them is the hard part. Even a petition would be difficult to get rolling I would think, not without some form of advertising.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
What about the people that bought their S1 with lollipop already installed, they will have never had an update, they should a least get MM

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
I have nothing...just supposing this method for the moment...someone about here should have an email or snail mail addy...
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
We could always just spam the crap out of every related Samsung Twitter page. [MENTION=5246982]SamsungSupport[/MENTION], [MENTION=767379]Samsungmobile[/MENTION]us, [MENTION=381438]samsung[/MENTION], and [MENTION=381438]samsung[/MENTION]tweets
[Galaxy Tab S General] behzad.bz:
A5 got it... :-\? Still waiting for MM
[Galaxy Tab S General] <galaxylove>:
maybe because the phone was released in 2016? (A510F)

this phone should come with MM out of the box, but was released with LP

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

what about the people who bought a tab pro which came with kitkat? They should get lollipop at least
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Yeah, I followed that disgrace with the tab pro, though i have stayed on kitkat on my tab s1 as lollipop v5.0.2 is far too buggy, we should have got lollipop v5.1

So i was really looking forward to getting MM :)

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
Works for me! How about the rest of the community?

Should I start a new thread with the letter or are we violating any forum rules by doing this?

I've already started and have received the usual answer!
[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
Google May Publicly 'Shame' Android Smartphone Makers

I wonder if Samsung and LG are on that list.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Pauli Urethane:
And I quote again: "We cannot speculate on the release of future updates. Please stay tuned, though. We will post publicly as more information becomes available."

The first thing that popped into my mind was me sitting in a chair, hunched over my SM-T800 and I'm nothing but a skeleton covered in cob-webs still waiting for more information. Thanks for nothing Amanda and Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
The response I got from Samsung on Facebook: "Hi. Thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear that. Allow us to help. Could you please tell us what are the problems you are having with your device? ^Harry"

I see now why we haven't received an update. The idiots can't even read!
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Samsung is most likely to busy with getting the Tab S3 ready for release to worry about us Tab S1 owners.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
Which would be incredibly sad and pathetic seeing as how the S2 is finally receiving MM. Good news about the S2 getting MM now though is that we could be next. All their newest devices have received, or are receiving, the update now. So; perhaps the next batch of devices, that being the older ones, may actually starts receiving it as well.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ayamgoreng:
since it's unlikely we recieve MM, is it better to wait for someone to port it from s2 or aosp version is better ?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
The S2 is a lot different to the S1, it`s 64bit, different resolution and aspec ratio, different type fingerprint, no camera flash, no infra-red, so a port has a multitude of problems, I have never did a rom so i am only guessing.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Lightn1ng:
Maybe instead of being angry with Samsung about not releasing MM we could just backport the changes to Lollipop
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
Is that possible? I mean, looking at most of the ROMs here can't even get the Tab S2 launcher to display correctly. That's not a shot at any of the developers here, but merely an observation. I admit I know nothing about ROM development though.
[Galaxy Tab S General] rci2990:
i got mm on my tab s but its romd.works great everything works.thats the only way your gonna get mm on a tab s.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Lightn1ng:
you double posted

Unintentional. When I tried to post the app crashed just after the message "trying to connect to server" appeared so I tried again. Tapatalk has been giving me a lot of problems lately.
[Galaxy Tab S General] behzad.bz:
Tab E got it too... MM
[Galaxy Tab S General] :
Where is our android 6 ????? Samsung !!!!
[Galaxy Tab S General] SkOrPn:
It has come and then gone by. Now we are coming to Android 7 almost.
[Galaxy Tab S General] :
Will there be android 7 for our tab s ?
[Galaxy Tab S General] 5warafat1:
Lol tab s didn't even get android 6 forget android 7. We can only dream about that happening
[Galaxy Tab S General] migmig0012@gmail.com:
hi guys

cyanogen start support tab s2 and still nothing for tab s 10.5 lte t805.

this is my only hope
[Galaxy Tab S General] PFC Hudson:
It's probably not the case but it feels like every other Samsung tablet and phone released in the past 18 months (with equal or even lesser specs) have gotten MM apart from our much loved Tab S
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
Well guess what else....if you're a fan of Kodi....without MM we may never get to run Kodi V18 on our tabs. They're saying that V17 will eliminate anything less than Lollipop and that by V18 there may be no support in Kodi for anything less than MM....

Enjoy your new paperweight.
[Galaxy Tab S General] TheGoD:
Its not like Kodi V17 will magically stop working over night... I understand the frustration, while I find a lot of thinks in Marshmallow rather ****ty (default SD support, those annoying permission requests, Doze w/o a user facing turn off method) it made my Note 4 fly in terms of UI responsiveness and I do want adoptable storage. But its not like there will be a lot that you can do with M or N that isn't working on L.
[Galaxy Tab S General] SkOrPn:
Yeah I will still be able to check email, read news articles and e-books, browse the internet and still reply to these forums. Oh wait, that's all I do with my tablet now anyway. Unless the battery goes bad or the display dies, I doubt this thing will ever become a paperweight any time soon.
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
Galaxy Note 4 is now receiving MM and it was released 3 months after our Tab S. Still hope?
[Galaxy Tab S General] YoannGoW:
Hello, I found this :

on samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-T807RTSAUSC

Seems to be uploaded on Jun 24, 2015, so I don't know if it help.
[Galaxy Tab S General] PFC Hudson:
A bit late aren't ya? Note 4 got MM months ago
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
Yes, yes I am. Lol I didn't realize the article I was reading was talking about T-Mobile's Note 4.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DaWeav:
Now that's something! <tick-tock>
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
Not really. This has already been pointed out in this thread. Most likely just a mess up on Samsung's part. That PDF has nothing to do with Marshmallow at all.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Let's face it its not gonna happen. We've had our 2 updates from Samsung.

Flagship means nothing to Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
What 2 updates? I recall going from KitKat to Lollipop; unless you're counting some minor update.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mightywhites29111971:
Yep, I only had one update. Samsung are a disgrace and maybe they should concentrate on a smaller amount of devices instead of bringing out various iterations of devices they don't support. They treat their customers like ****!
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
We went from 4.4.2 to 5.0.2. Only 1 major update and we didn't even get updated to the latest Lollipop even though it was out when Sammy released 5.0.2.
[Galaxy Tab S General] SkOrPn:
When I purchased mine in May 2015 I think it already had Lollipop, but not sure. But I don't ever remember getting an update, so you can count me as ZERO updates from Samsung. But I admit I have not been on stock but for the first few days of ownership, lol, So I have no clue if they ever offered me one.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Lightn1ng:
Well the battery in the Tab S is actually VERY easy to replace on your own.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Probably me ol' brain getting confused.

My older M8 has had 4 I think. Started with 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 to 6.0

That's HTC support for you and they release it within 90 days of the official release.

Now stick that in yer pipe and smoke it Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
I've never owned a device from a company that regularly updated its devices. Unfortunately, only cheap android devices that didn't have root or unlocked bootloader. I was hoping Samsung would be different. I would be happy with the latest Lollipop even!
[Galaxy Tab S General] SkOrPn:
Good to know. :good: My Nexus 7 was super easy to open, but I didn't think this tab s would be.

[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
I bought all the tools required to do a battery swap not long after i bought my 10.5" and downloaded the YouTube video on replacing it, My battery is still good after 18months as far as i can tell, I only charge to 80% and don't drain below 20%, I have only charged my 10.5" to 100% 4 times, and this was only to recalibrate the battery gauge, also i am not a gamer so my battery does not get hot, which also is bad for the battery.

But do you buy an Branded replacement battery for 60$ or get an 20$ one off eBay?

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Lightn1ng:
I would spend an extra bit to buy this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01F....5+battery&dpPl=1&dpID=41cXvTG-NpL&ref=plSrch
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
No reviews and no Production date, how old a battery is makes a big difference, Contacting the seller and asking the production date on the battery is what i would do.

If you get no reply then dont buy it.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Lightn1ng:
Good point. I didn't pay much attention to that.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):

Why? Tab s has better display than s2. S2 has much lower resolution. No fash and no ir blaster ohh and smaller display. More of a downgrade:/
[Galaxy Tab S General] Lightn1ng:
I prefer 4:3, the resolution is fine, I never used the ir blaster, and I like the smaller screen.

I love the performance of the S2, and the new fingerprint scanner is miles ahead.
[Galaxy Tab S General] noxarcana:
I would get the Tab S2, too; if I could afford it. I also never use the IR blaster or the flash. I don't even use the fingerprint scanner. Playing with the demo units at Walmart, I can say there really isn't much difference in screen quality. And; from all the benchmarks I've seen, the Tab S2 ranks higher than the Tab S. I think the Tab S2 would be a nice ADDITION, not a replacement, to the Tab S.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Lightn1ng:
I sold my Tab S for $150 so it didn't end up costing me much
