Again, the x05 units are Exynos, only x07 is SD.

My best guess is that the develop for all models (or at least x00 and x05) at the same time and in the end what gets through quality control first gets released first and everything else comes out in waves to have the option to stop the rollout when I deal breaking error is found.
[Galaxy Tab S General] open1your1eyes0:
Hmm that's odd, I'll be honest I was assuming SD only from previous cases (pretty much all LTE tablets were some SD variant). That's interesting to know there's a difference between the two, I wonder why they did SD at all if they were able to manage with Exynos for even one LTE model now.
[Galaxy Tab S General] deadman96385:
Not completely true the SM-T807T which is the T-mobile variant is an exynos
[Galaxy Tab S General] Mxm78:
Howdy Guys! :)

There's a Marshmallow for Tab S 10.5 - version SM-T805 - see here and here

Good luck with updates! :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] artur.r:
I updated yesterday and it works great.
[Galaxy Tab S General] needhelp11:
Do you see visual change or modification ? Or it's still the same interface with only Android 6.0 written in setting instead of 5.0 ?

If you can post some screenshot, it will be nice.
[Galaxy Tab S General] artur.r:
No visual changes, of course except new MM features. The boot animation is different.
[Galaxy Tab S General] 5warafat1:
what about the icons and notification panel have they changed?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Some screenshots have been posted in the MM T805 thread.

it's such a shame that they haven't even made any ui changes. looks exactly same as android 5.:mad:
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
See if you can find any photo`s/video`s of MM on the Tab S2 to see if the S1 had been short changed.

Now we have the same ugly icons like all actuall Samsung devices.

But still no game mode and no theme engine...

This is INCORRECT.. MM was just released today for T-805, so T-700 and more is being pushed soon..

Nooooooooo lets keep it open so we can have a good samsung bashing when the T700 doesn't receive MM lol :D

If we speak about T805 (Tab 10.5 LTE) - no significant visual changes :)

Let's wait and see if there's improvement under the hood ;)

Precisely this, until all variants get the update this thread should stay open.

[Galaxy Tab S General] bobyn:
I am asking. Why do you not charge to 100%?
[Galaxy Tab S General] jetbruceli:
Maybe he believes his battery will have a longer life span. Its known that if you keep your device within that range you can extend the life of the battery but, really that if you plan on keeping it with that battery for over 3 years.

One thing I will add to this worrying about Marshmallow debate is that, I recently flashes KK on the t705 and since I only ever had LP, I am actually excited about this tab again. KK is so much better in the looks and features. I am sure Android 6 will just make it worse because Samsung wont really focus hard enough to make it a better experience.

Can you believe they removed this awesome keyboard for that plain all white for LP?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
If you fully charge to 100%and discharge virtually empty every time your charge your tablet, you will only get between 300-500 what is called cycles, I only ever charger to 80 and never discharge below 20%, by doing this i can expect to get between 1200 to 1500 cycles before i will need to replace my battery, I use GSam Battery monitor to sound an alarm at 80% when charging and if i go below 20% when using the tablet so i know to stop and charge it, though every few months you need to charge to discharge till shutdown and then charge to 100% to calibrate the battery gauge, if you do not you could think you have 50% battery left, when you only have 10% left and then your tablet shutdown and you wonder why it happened.

Heat also damages the battery so if you do a lot of heavy gaming your battery will not last even 300-500 cycles, the GSam Battery Monitor can also sound an alarm if the battery temp gets too high, so you know to let your tablet cool down for a while.

Read the thread in the link below, if you are interested in how li-ion battery work and how to care for them.

I'm starting to feel the same way. I bought a 32gb version from Best Buy and paid $549.00 for a device that will be considered obsolete in a year and a half. Will not do this again.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
I wish i had had the option to buy an 32gb version of the 10.5", 16GB is pathetic.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] 5warafat1:
I have the 32gb one its still not enough because ur only left with 26gb of usable memory
[Galaxy Tab S General] TheGoD:
Shouldn't that thread be closed since its just based on an unofficial list that is obviously incomplete and therefore this thread misleading?

I would be extremely spirited surprised if Samsung wouldn't release M for the Tab S1, I although don't expect it to be under the first batch of devices.
[Galaxy Tab S General] aegeuss:
We are still in 5.0.2 for Lollipop, leave aside Marsmallow; this device did not see an update for more than three months now! Pathetic. I don't understand why Samsung left this device like a son without a father since now we already have the Tab S2; I feel like an step child sometimes :(

May be Samsung isn't bothered with 5.11, but jumping straight to 6.0, may be they are trying to get all the bugs out before release.
[Galaxy Tab S General] androidkid311:
Lol I'm not surprised this isn't getting android M. I bought this knowing it won't happen. Only hope is CyanogenMod.

Looks like we will get the regular security updates so I maybe we will get Marshmallow too?

I was just coming to comment about this. Surely if they plan on monthly security updates, they also plan on a Marshmallow release for us as well.

Wonder if its possible to receive the updates with a rooted device?

As far as i know updates do not show if you are rooted via ota, but they do show if you use kies or the new update app.

[Galaxy Tab S General] TimurAlaskara_TR:
Chill bro there are other devices which needs to be updated too. The s5 still stucks on 5.0! In my opinion we will get directly marshmallow as the s5 will also. If not, we have still the ability to use AOSP based roms.

[Galaxy Tab S General] Stocklone:
I want Marshmallow for one reason: making microSD part of the internal storage for my Tab S 8.4. Sick and tired of having to clean up the storage and micromanage apps because Samsung only made the 16GB model available for sale. It's not even my primary tablet and still runs out of room constantly.
[Galaxy Tab S General] lartomar2002:
I do not know your location but Samsung made a 32gb version for Best Buys here in the US. I own one.
[Galaxy Tab S General] xRevilatioNx:
I own the 32 gig as well.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
Yup I have a 32gb too, but sometimes, it's a PITA about writing to the external card. Blame that on OS, I dont know why they thought this needed to be so secure. It's MY card, I bought it. If I want Dolphin Browser to use a folder on it for downloads I should be able to do that without the need for root!

Android...Yeah, not happy with it at all. ALL my stuff in the future will be Windows based....
[Galaxy Tab S General] rookie12:

NO fruit in this house! I like Apple a lot less than Android....

Just incase anyone wanted to test it out there is an Unofficial Build of Marshmallow available in the Development forum for SM-700, 800 & 805 by Schischu.

[Galaxy Tab S General] Kholargol:
It's Samsung, we all now how they works;

- Marshmallow will be release on Tab S2.. in 9 months

- It won't be release on Tab S, they're too "old"
[Galaxy Tab S General] 5warafat1:
No its a 2 year cycle my galaxy s4 which is over 2 years old received android lollipop. If s5 can receive android 6 then why not tab s.
[Galaxy Tab S General] zooster:
Nope, accordingly to Google rules, manufacturers are committed to upgrade to newer os all the devices for 18 month long period after their commercialization (not presentation).

Tab S has been commercialized (available) in August 2014, so Samsung MUST upgrade it to all newer os released till February 2016. Otherwise it will break Google rules.

If Samsung won't respect this commitment will be sued by a class action.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Kholargol:
I hope you're right. I didn't know about this 18 months rules. I was speaking about previous Sammy tabs upgrade politics (ie: tab 7.7)
[Galaxy Tab S General] :
All I want is that damn waterdrop touch sound gone and the newer touch sound from my S6 Edge on my Tab S 10.5, just saying. Can't wait for Android M on both!

[Galaxy Tab S General] lartomar2002:
It shows the Samung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 T805 as getting the 6.0 update. Will that update apply to the T800 or Will there have to be a rom built for the T800?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
What what i have read, there is quite a difference between the T800 and T805 in rom terms, so the T800 would need it`s own rom.

If the T805 got marshmallow and the T800 did not there would be hell to pay, Anyway it`s a lot easier to do a rom for a wifi only tablet as there are no cell phone manufactures to have beta test the rom before it is released.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] bjb2:
Interesting the Tab S2 is still "Waiting Approval".

I would like to hope if we are waiting until Apr 2016, we will get 6.0.1 or .2, which is probably a good thing knowing Samsungs general policy of never updating to the latest sub-version once they do a major update (we were stuck on 4.4.2 for a long while, and no sign of 5.1.1 which is more like 5.0.3+).
[Galaxy Tab S General] williamvito:
Yep, and that's primarily because of the snapdragon processors inside of the cellular models. I have a Sprint Galaxy Tab S 10.5 variant which is also a snapdragon variant with the model T807P.

[Galaxy Tab S General] TheGoD:
That is wrong, all Tx05 units use the Exynos SOC. Of course ROMs need to be modified for it but not that much that we need to be worried about Samsung only supporting the 3g variants.

T700, t705, T800 and T805 have exynos so don't worry I think they meant Tab S in general.

[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
April of 2016. Pretty much what I have expected. Recall the rollout of Lollipop for these tablets in March-April of this year, even though the AOSP Lollipop came out in the summer of 2014. Samsung doesn't regard its tablet users very highly. Next time around, if I am buying an android device, it will only be a nexus.
[Galaxy Tab S General] jetbruceli:
There is a fine line between creating an AOSP rom and making a Samsung base one. Theirs is a lot more complicated and yet we all love it.

As long as its in the works for being created, we have a chance of getting it long term. The Tab S is a wonderful device and many pluses about it that I can look past getting certain updates. However, with the new security updates, we will see more frequent updates with polished TW interface tweaks more often.
[Galaxy Tab S General] drmodify:
I just hope so
[Galaxy Tab S General] SkOrPn:
Well well, looks like official Marshmallow IS coming to the TAB S according to phonearena. Samsung has approved it for the 10.5, so its probably just days or weeks for the 8.4 to get approval. Shows an approved date of April 2016 for the 10.5 and that device has the same hardware as the 8.4 has, only a different size screen, so it seems likely we will also see a 8.4 M release. Thought some of you might want to know the news.

And yes I know it shows T705, but devs can easily make those builds work on the T700 I'm sure. Right?

[Galaxy Tab S General] snapper.fishes:
Late is better than never, but April 2016 is still a long time away.
[Galaxy Tab S General] SkOrPn:
Yeah almost half a year away. I don't care about stock ROMs but I'm hopeful that the release allows others to more easily build M for the devices for its drivers etc. And who knows, maybe Stock won't be so bad once a 3rd party dev gets their hands on it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Rage1ofakind:
So they're skipping 5.1.1 for both Tab S models (8.4/10.5)?
[Galaxy Tab S General] UN4GTBL:
Good point.

Oh well, at least they are updating it to 6.0!
[Galaxy Tab S General] episode96:
As long as Samsung keeps security updates coming, I'm OK with Android M taking that long to arrive. Yeah, you would get faster updates on a Nexus but that's about it. The Nexus 9 in particular is a terrible tablet in my opinion: mediocre build quality, backlight issues, no AMOLED, no expandable storage, pitiful storage options, stretched stock phone UI.
[Galaxy Tab S General] lartomar2002:
Yeah you are correct. I had a Nexus 9 for about 4 days before I returned it. Talk about cheap build.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
This thread should be renamed "Android M IS coming to Tab S"

I cannot wait, I skipped lollipop and am ready for some marshmallow goodness, Samsung please do not **** it up :rolleyes:

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] GoldExperience:
The only reason I want Android 6.0 on the Tab S is because of the Doze that improves battery when not in use.

It's pretty annoying have to turn on Airplane Mode everytime I stop using the tab, or else battery goes away without using it.

Also, 99% sure when Samsung release 6.0 for Tab S, Android 6.1 will have been released already.

[Galaxy Tab S General] _RoRo_:
Did you try the good night scheduler app, by ashampoo? I use it to automatically switch WiFi, synch and other stuff off during night or work time. It goes back on by itself after that.

Concerning new features, I'm also excited about using sd as internal.
[Galaxy Tab S General] lartomar2002:
The only problem I have with using the external sd card as a internal is when I am flashing a new rom I aways use Titanium Backup to ba k up all my apps to tbe external card so they are not wiped when wiping data. Will there be away to avoid this on 6.0?

I am however assuming that if the T705 gets M so would T700.
[Galaxy Tab S General] RoyBM:
kind of looks like they are only updating most of their carrier devices.

If 705 gets it im sure someone here could be able to mod it for 700 though so i guess im not too worried if we get it on 700 official or not.

[Galaxy Tab S General] AnION0:
It's AOSP custom rom without all options by Samsung (such as multiwindow, for example, or working fingerprint sensor). And yeah, it's very buggy.

As to me I would like to get stock Android M by Samsung so I could use all stock options.

Samsung has started a beta testing program for their S6 smartphone that lets users try out early 6.0 builds in order to get feedback from users. It would be nice is their Tablets get the same wonderful treatment.

[Galaxy Tab S General] mightywhites29111971:
I have emailed Samsung asking if when we will be getting the marshmallow update and was given the reply that they do not advise if or when updates become available because they have hundreds of devices! They could have spent the same amount of time writing and sending an email to me telling me if it was becoming available, unless their support staff do not know. Poor customer service from Samsung and I think this tablet will be the last device I buy from them.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
If you think they're service is bad....try dealing with the Asus tablet people! Nothing but double talk!
[Galaxy Tab S General] SkOrPn:
What phone numbers do you have for Samsung? And an email address please? I'd like to complain and let them know my frustration as well. I got this TAB S in April expecting at least Marshmallow to come to it. I would like to tell them that my next tab will remain Nexus for as long as Google makes them, regardless of lacking features.
[Galaxy Tab S General] rookie12:
There is always a way to root nexus device installing ROMs and xposed and have all features from Samsung devices ;)
[Galaxy Tab S General] SkOrPn:
Yep, I know. All I have ever used have been Nexus devices, and this is the first Tablet I have gotten that wasn't. It took many Months of research but I figured the developer work was here and the extra features such as MicroSD was here, the really nice display is here, and I really thought I would easily see Marshmallow by now as well. What good is a device that loses support so quickly in its healthy life time? I have a 2010 Intel 6-core Xeon based PC with 24GB of DDR3 and I can run any measure of Linux or Windows OS's and probably do so for the next 10 years and it will run great and always be able to run at least Linux. But Samsung gives me a device and it has a couple year OS life span before its obsolete? At this rate it will become obsolete before it sustains its first cosmetic blemish, lol. Not good at all. My Nexus 7 is still getting recent Android support and its was purchased in 2013. I should have just went with my gut feeling and got the Nexus 9. Too late now I think as 2016 looks to be like a really nice year for new devices...

I really hope the TAB S gets official MM though, as that will really help this device in regards to its longevity aspect.
