So I am now observing up to 20% battery drain in 24 hours in stand-by mode. I have already experimented with Wakelock detector to hunt down the apps that wake up the CPU, but I haven't had much success with this. The top item is the Google App, and you can't shut it down. I was so disappointed that I went to my last backup of Lollipop, and guess what! It's now the same story under Lollipop too, so I am guessing there is a problem with the recent changes to the google apps. The tablet is NOT in deep sleep mode 35-40% of time. Compare this to my iPad Air 2 experience. You can forget this device and leave it in standby mode for two weeks, and then it only drains battery by 25%. Android is now having serious issues with battery use, but Google doesn't seem to take a notice.

don't leave your wifi ON except when connected, use the battery optimizer ( economy) , can't help you more than that my tab is in french. But once well setup, it will use less battery.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
My tab 10.5 sits with the wifi on for days and I see very little drop in the battery level. However, my Samsung S4 was having battery drain issues right after an update for Google Maps. I disabled it to see what would happen and sure enough the battery went back to normal drain. Then a few days later there was yet another maps update which seemed to have turned it back on somehow. So once again I turned it off. Then yet another update came in about a week. This time I didn't see the battery dumping and things have been fine since. What I'm getting at is there may be some app that's causing this and figuring out which one can be pretty tuff. I'm sure there is something out there that would help discover this, if that's what it is. Being the n00b that I am, I would probably do a full reset and maybe even flash the ROM (stock or whatever you use) again then add one app at a time, if none of the bloatware was causing it to drain.

But then, like I say, I'm a n00b.

sd card as internal storage

I've a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (SM-T805) with official Samsung Marshmallow 6.0.1 (T805XXU1COJ5).

Does anyone know of a way to format/mount an sd card as "internal storage" ?

Samsung has removed this option fromthe settings->storage menu same as for the Galaxy phones, but you can use the "sm partition" command from adb shell on those.

I tried the same command on the Galaxy Tab with no effect at all (the command appears to be ignored)

I got an upate last night, bug fixes maybe a security update, it took 10min+ to install and a couple of reboots seemed to take ages to install.

Can anybody see anything different, I use my T800 on wifi everyday, so this must be new, I using stock UK MM.

In Canada neither, still on last august security update. I just did a manual update and sweet nothing...
[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
Last week, I did a factory reset of my ROM, and wakelock detector still shows over 300x wakelocks by Google play services and over 100x by Samsung+. The good thing is that we can disable Samsung+. Sadly, we can't disable system services like Google play services.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Give Servicely a try it temporarily disables services when your tab goes into sleep mode, Google and Samsung may services may restart when you wake your tablet up

Samsung removed all Tab S models very soon, after they published the monthly updates list, from this list.

[Galaxy Tab S General] themissionimpossible:
Hi, I just bought a T705 for using it as a home theater multi-device infrared remote control.

I've installed and configured the app Anymote that works correctly with the original Samsung Kitkat stock ROM.

If I should update to Marshmallow, will the tab's infrared blaster still work after the update, or it will be disabled?

Anyone had tested the IR blaster functionality on Marshmallow?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab S General] SonicTotus:
I haven't test it with that app but why wouldn't it. You can allways flashback a KK if MM doesn't work for you.

BTW.

Wow, Anymote is really an expensive app on playstore

but I found the apk of Anymote and I will test it on MM.

I'll let you know.
[Galaxy Tab S General] themissionimpossible:
Thank you for testing!

Anyway there is also the Anymote free app (only one device at a time allowed to be controlled, ads supported):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy4
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
There is this one too...very, very customizable!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=remote.zappir.free
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Is this the one that used to be called smart ir?

If so it's the best bar none. Can even be programmed with pronto codes.
[Galaxy Tab S General] themissionimpossible:
Yes. it is: :)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy

If from the free app somebody pays for the in-app upgrade (about $7-8), he gets that full version unlocked: Smart IR Remote.

I've tested many of the available advanced IR remote apps (Touchsquid, Galaxy Universal Remote, Sure, irplus, etc.), including the Peel Smart Remote app which currently replaces the originally provided Samsung Quick Remote app (now discontinued), but now I'm going to take a look also at the ZappIR Universal IR Remote app that has been just pointed out.

Anymote's is very complete and offers a very widely customizable remote control layout, also assembling many different home theater devices within the same single-screen layout, which for me is the main reason for using an expensive 8.4" display tablet.

As you said, it can also import Pronto HEX codes and PR5 codes:

https://www.anymote.io/convert/pronto2amsr.php
[Galaxy Tab S General] SonicTotus:
I have found the apk somewhere else so I don't have ads.

It works very well on MM. I haven't found any serious bugs or mal function because of MM.

It's a nice app but I dont know if I find it worth 7 dollar.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
It's well worth the price, its a pretty complete remote app and can control practically any device.

I have it set up to access service mode on several devices, something other remotes can't usually do, it can learn any command and import codes. Add that to the presets already provided, of which there is many.

It's also got the best layout and looks like a proper remote.
[Galaxy Tab S General] themissionimpossible:
This is an example of what I've created with Anymote:
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Looks good and professional.
[Galaxy Tab S General] joakim_one:
My international exynos 5420 T705 just got a 200 MB update last week, which brought me up to the December security patch too. I was on the September patch before and wondering if they'd update it anymore. It will be interesting when updates end for this tablet, good that they're still updating it 30 months after launch.
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
Is anyone else besides me having issues with Kodi Krypton and SMB access for the media libraries? V16.1 was fine. I think this issue may somehow be related to the Samsung as other MM devices I have don't have the problem at all. Though I did see it on Ubuntu when I tested it on a USB install....

Hoping maybe someone might have a hint as to where the issue might lie....

I may have posted this in the wrong thread but I felt it was directly related somehow to this version of the OS....but move it if need be ;)

SM-T707A

I am on at&t official marshmallow 6.0.1 but can't seem to root it. Any help would be great. Thanks...
[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
What steps did you take to root? On a wifi tablet, the procedure is simile: first install Odin and Samsung USB drivers on a PC, then using Odin install TWRP on the tablet via USB, then flash supersu from TWRP.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
You can't your boot loader is locked. Give up before you brick your device.
[Galaxy Tab S General] weeekwo:
just curious as to the kind of brick it would be to a device that is bootloader-locked; being bootloader-locked, it would would fail midway through an odin download and receive 'fail' message in odin; it wouldn't receive a 'pass' message, right?

so at this point what are recovery options? curious.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
You'd need to flash the stock stock firmware to recover.
[Galaxy Tab S General] zigonneux:
the best way to recover as ashyx said is to reinstall the stock firmware and the best way to do it is to use Samsung KIES 3

which you can download on the samsung website. It will ask you for the serial number that is written very small on the small paper on the back of your device, then it will download the right firmware and install it. Everything will be erased . The firmware include the Gapps so it's easy to do your setup after.

Being in a bootloop with TWRP is not an easy thing to fix. When you will shut down your device by long pressing the start, volume down for quite a while , go to the recovery by pressing start and volume down again, then volume up when it will ask you if you want to go into recovery mode. Then Kies will install the new firmware.

if you have the firmware downloaded already you can install it with ODIN.
[Galaxy Tab S General] weeekwo:
thanks for responses.

i know the question is itself pretty trivial for anyone who has restored their firmware through odin, but it is not so trivial with more recent devices that also have dm-verity, which leads to another question.

if there is dm-verity failure, is the only way to recover by using official samsung software, i.e. kies or smart switch? samsung chat seems to imply odin is not considered official samsung software, and it is at least coincidental at least in my experience that odin cannot restore official rom to a device in dm-verity failure.

also, i noticed that on some dm-verity enabled kernels, battery charging is disabled in the event dm verity fails (can anyone else confirm this?), but i could be wrong. if one is unable to restore the official firmware before batteyr drains, is the device essentially hardbricked (at least until a charged battery is substituted)? :crying:
[Galaxy Tab S General] zigonneux:
why don't you simply use kies 3 to install the stock rom and stop worrying about the rest ! It will install the right rom and do everything else, instead of spending time with the chat dept and talk to them about ODIN. This is a NO NO. Samsung help chat and Odin doesn't fit in the same phrase... You still have the sticker in the back of your device with the serial number ?
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Not sure how you've arrived at these conclusions, but dm-verity does neither prevent you from installing any software, be it official or custom, nor does it affect your battery charging, if it does its the first time I've heard it.

Dm-verity is a system check by the kernel to verify the software is unmodified.

It's easily bypassed and/or fixed by flashing the correct stock firmware.
[Galaxy Tab S General] weeekwo:
Right, what can be installed depends on bootloader, but the dm verity message can still persist even after installing an official rom. I think there might be a difference between enforcing state and not enforcing for dm-verity, depending on kernel. In my experience the error persists with a persistent bootloop even with an official rom (downloaded from sammobile and even if it matches the device's csc).

In my case it is hard to conclude otherwise with a locked bootloader, dm-verity failure, and a drained and noncharging internal battery. If the dm-verity is responsible for battery not charging, it is the hardest of samsung hardball plays i've seen. I stil only suspect it because the Note 7 battery was stopped from charging right from official kernel.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Not sure why you mentioned the bootloader loader? The bootloader isn't locked on these devices except for att and verizon models, so you are free to install any software you please.

If the software is totally stock then there should be no dm-verity issues.

As regards charging the battery like I say never heard of this, the worst that usually happens is the device doesn't boot.

Also Dm-verity is easily bypassed by modifying the ramdisk.

If that wasn't the case there'd be literally thousands of dead phones and I've never heard of anyone reporting such a case.
[Galaxy Tab S General] weeekwo:
But it is an effective locked bootloader with 2016 s2 without oem unlock and with a log in; it would be a less easy challenge do anything unofficial in this state, possibly with a need to go to kies or smart switch. Even with disabled battery charging, a device in this state still has a time frame to leave dm-verity, and so a thousand bricks would probably require a thousand novices to rooting with the description unable to figure it out before full discharge; anyway, remember i mentioned these things with a big 'if'.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
OEM UNLOCK is to bypass Google's FRP protection not unlock the bootloader.

Again, FRP lock can be solved by reflashing the stock firmware.
[Galaxy Tab S General] weeekwo:
Right it wouldn't unlock a locked bootloader, but it is still effectively locked though without oem unlock and with a log-in on FRP-enabled roms; couldn't install twrp in this scenario assuming a stock recovery and nonbooting system.

Flashing stock rom wouldnt remove frp lock in that scenario either; i mean, right? FRP isolated seems can be bypassed if the system image boots even without usb debugging enabled; i wouldn't know how myself.
[Galaxy Tab S General] amateurhack:
So I was just curious: no u.s.-eng update yet ? I don't see it on sammobile, so I'm guessing no one in the U.S. has received the ota, or is it that the firmware hasn't been released?

I know when I said we would get it much later, but even I thought it would be available by now.
[Galaxy Tab S General] weeekwo:
little curious t805w and t807t not on same page with even north american releases and still getting lollipop updates T805WOYA1BQA1 (January 2017) and T807TTMB1BPL2 (Janurary 2017); last i checked even north korea got a official marshmallow.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DaWeav:
I would just like to say that the update has been great, but it got even better when I decided to do a factory reset and set my Tab S back up. It sure seems a lot snapier then it did after updating from 5 to 6 without resetting it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
Well, doh. Factory reset means all your apps and data are deleted. As you keep adding more apps and cruft, your 6 will go back to the old 5-level of performance. Personally, I updated to 6 via flashing from Odin without a reset, and I didn't notice any degradation in performance.

[Galaxy Tab S General] dsmturbo:
I just sort of stumbled upon this so please bear with me. I have a Model: SM4T705WTSATLS CDN LTE/Wifi running V5. something now. I would like to update to MM. If I download the firmware from SawMobile from here:https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tabs/SM-T700/XAR/download/T700XXU1CPH5/92839/

will I then be able to update my system to Marshmallow release?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
The normal update process is that you go into your tablet's settings, then about, then check for the updates. That's how you get the OTA (over the air). The firmware you get from Sammobile has to be flashed with Odin, a Windows program. In fact, the web page where you download that image also gives you the instructions.
[Galaxy Tab S General] dsmturbo:
Yes I realize that. However, it seems that Samsung and CDN carriers have forgotten about the Great White North with the MM update. I just inherited this tablet from my Dad and wanted to 'Play' with it a bit.

hello, when the Marshmallow released for SM-T705?

I'm currently using SM-705 and running at 4.4.2 Kitkat and having performance issue, sometimes this tab perform too slow and some lag

is it possible if i upgrade it to Marshmallow without upgrade to Lollipop first?

i'm currently living in Indonesia
[Galaxy Tab S General] gts84:
Where can i get the tutorial?

Is it OK if I'm upgrade it manually from my device?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Akopps:
Sorry to point the obvious, but I thought this was the normal Tab S behavior since its original release no matter what ROM you use :)

The term "lag" is certainly subjective, but I think we all can agree that the Tab S interface is not always smooth. Once the app is launched, it normally works well, but the OS GUI is laggy. I think the problem here is that the Quad-HD resolution screen (or whatever they call it) was well ahead of whatever CPU/GPU combos that were available to Samsung at that time. It also didn't help that the Exynos SoCs which were installed on most of these tables came with Mali-T628 GPUs which had even less performance than the Adreno 330 GPU used on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800/801 SoC's.

I actually think that things could have been better with a 1920x1200 screen, which I would have preferred if I had a choice.

First generation Galaxy A5 finally started receiving Marshmallow a few days agos after nearly two years stuck on 4.4.4 Kit Kat.

Considering it was launched just a few months after our tablet, it's safe to assume that the Tab S will be next in line.

Well, with Samsung we just need to be reeeeally patient.

[Galaxy Tab S General] Eddie Hicks:
I have an S7 Edge. Marshmallow does have a couple of nice new features but not so much I would give up a 10.5" device for one 5.7" just because the firmware is one version older. I hope we do get MM for the Tab S, but I own a MM device and I don't feel it's that much better that I would give up my Lollipop tablet only for MM.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DaWeav:
There is one great feature that marshmallow has that I can't wait to get on my Tab S. It's the Google Now On Tap feature where it takes a snapshot of the screen and displays search results about what it finds on the screen. Example, on my S6 with marshmallow, I'm in an app that is displaying a description of a movie I'm thinking about watching, I long press the home key and get search results about that movie with app launch buttons for other apps that I have loaded on my device which can display even more information about the movie so I can then just tap the Flixster app where I can see more information and the Rotten Tomatoes and Flixster popcorn scores for the movie to know if it's really worth watching.
