I had downloaded BXActions apk ready to remap bixby when mine arrives but deleted the apk yesterday now they are locking it down so you can no longer remap it. Sounds like it saved me from some dodgy scrolling :P
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JDM9499:
It's working fine. But yes, there's choppy scrolling for some reason.

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

I just downloaded a new app, called BixbtRemap. No intrusive permissions, and can confirm stutter is gone. Also, really liking the fact you can assign the button to perform many different tasks with by assigning a number of clicks. So far, it's great.

EDIT - The stutter is back.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] :
I'm quite disappointed with the scrolling action on my S8. Even the pulldown from the top is jittery. And it was this way before I installed BK Disabler. I'm going to try completely removing the live wallpaper and see if that helps. Honestly for a device that cost as much as this did, and having the latest SD processor, it should be buttery-smooth
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] anti09:
I also noticed jittery scrolling when I remapped Bixby, which went away as soon as I unmapped it. Clearly a connection.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Dr. Fed:
Mine seems very smooth. I also have BXActions (although now it doesn't work thanks to the latest update), didn't notice any stutter after installing and using that app (had the remap for 2 days set to Google Now).

Did you disable anything? All I did was set animations to 0.5.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] :
Oh yeah I disabled a bunch of stuff but the jank was present before installing BK Package Disabler.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Dreadk:
Hi,

I did get jittery scrolling out of the box, then I factory reset and installed only two apps (instagram & fenix) to get a fair comparison with my Pixel.

Very disapointed, the Pixel is smooth, the s8 is disappointedly not.

I started a thread here earlier today: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/galaxy-s8-european-exynos-performance-t3593163
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] adrianblack:
Can confirm I was having jittery scrolling when interacting with the display. Was bugging me my new phone felt so janky. Disabled the Bixbye service in Accessibility and now the scrolling is smooth again. Glad to have fixed it but annoyed to lose that functionality too.

My scrolling felt 30fps while I was sliding my finger on the screen. Even Nova Launcher was jittery. When I release and momentum scrolls it is smooth.... Anyway with service disabled it is totally smooth now touching or not.

Hi, im new to flashing kernels

I accidentally flashed the Marshmallow boot.img skymelon and I'm now stuck on bootloop. I have lollipop

Does anyone have stock boot.img lollipop for e2353 or working boot.img for lollipop? Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] valyo_bg:
Install Marshmallow and then root phone. Then use version 8 of SkyMelon kernel, it work perfect. After installing of kernel do wipe cache and dalvik via TWRP. Phone should be charged at least at 50%.

You need to have unlocked bootloader.

If you want to use Lollipop instead of Marshmallow, then you can use different kernel from topic for rooting of Lollipop in this forum.

Looks like it's just the German model that's out, which is kind of odd. Hopefully the other regions will follow soon.

Given I'm rooted with custom recovery, I think I'll wait until a US version gets it. I would like to minimize the number of backup/restores I have to do.

Generally speaking, regions for wifi versions are not any different.

[Galaxy Tab S2 General] daveid:
Got the OTA today for my US 813. Upon boot, play services were broke, nothing would fix, constant reboots led to a full wipe. All seems well now, but an unexpected pain.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] RMXO:
Just got the OTA for my US 813, will report back if i have any issues. I plan to do a factory reset once the update is done to start fresh.

EDIT1: just got done installing the update and did a factory reset, the only issue so far is it doesn't see my 5Ghz wifi anymore. Doing another FReset to see if that fixes it. Will try the EUR one if FR doesn't fix my wifi issue.

EDIT2: no 5Ghz wifi

Yeap, I'm having the same issue
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] daveid:

[Galaxy Tab S2 General] J M L:
I just did the OTA update on my US 813, and so far it is working perfectly. I've connected to my 5ghz without any problem. I don't see an option to set the WiFi band, but it sees and connects to my 2.4 and 5. No crashes in the last hour...
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] pastorbob62:
So I decided to install this update to Nougat, even though I have been running custom ROMs for 4 months. Shouldn't be difficult, right? Holy Moly! Talk about your comedy of errors!

After doing all of the necessary backups and downloads, the installation of the stock Nougat firmware could not have gone more smoothly. After Odin finished and rebooted my tablet, I was very pleased and quite impressed. So much so that I even considered stay stock, not rooted, at least for a while. But my friends, what we have here is a dyed in the wool engineer who always wants that last iota of performance and control over his devise, be they tablets, smart phones or PCs. Needless to say, I wanted to root it and regain that higher level of control and customization that doing so allows. And here my friends is where things went totally south. I installed ahsyx's 3.1.0 TWRP and it seemed to work. Then I rebooted and attempted to flash Supersu 3.79. At first it seemed to work. But I rebooted to system checked in with Titanium backup and no root. booted to the bootloader and tried flashing another version of TWRP that worked very well for me with Lineage 14.1. I then booted to TWRP and got the nasty "E: Unable to mount '/data" error message. Seen this before so I formatted my data partition and was beginning to feel a little uneasy. So I attempted to restore my backup. Everything appeared to work so I rebooted to system. Nope, came right back to TWRP. Tried three times with the same result. Powered down. Booted back up, well hello TWRP. Okay, done now. powered off, booted to bootloader, restored the original stock image, rooted it and then was able to successfully restore my latest backup that was made right before I started this adventure. Rebooted and Walla! There's good ole Lineage. Tablet prompts me for my PIN which I carefully input and---"Wrong PIN, it tells me. "No it isn't!" I yell at it. Try again making certain I hit the right keys and "Wrong PIN," it says. Now I am getting very angry to say the least. I don't want to lose access to my backup because the next most recent one is over a month old. After doing a search on the Internet (XDA failed me) I found a forum for Lenova that tells me how to get around it by deleting certain files. I follw the procedure and reboot. SUCCESS! Back to where I started before this fiasco began.

Moral of the story - If what you have works and you are satisfied, don't change it. I am again happily using the latest LIneage ROM that does everything I want it do, and has great performance and battery life. :good::good::good::good::good:
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] RMXO:
Did you do a factory reset?
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] musashiken:
Ok, did you follow the OP instructions in ashyx's TWRP thread? It looks to me that you skipped a few steps in your rooting process which mucked things up.

You tried to flash supersu right after flashing and rebooting into TWRP. That's wrong. You need to format data to remove encryption in TWRP first, then flash supersu and also the boot image patch (also by ashyx). This will enable root in the stock samsung nougat rom.

LineageOS is a little different as it uses its own su addon to enable root.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] pastorbob62:
Yup! You are correct on all counts. I figured out where I went wrong after the fact and had already restored to Lineage. Just another case of me trying to do something tricky late at night without doing the proper research because I am in a rush.

The thing that puzzled me the most (and still does, I might add), was the PIN number snafu. It makes no sense as to why my PIN would not work and I had to remove the password file.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] zim2dive:
For those with Wifi issues (mine *seems* ok)... are you saying you can't "see" 5GHz or just cannot connect to it.. ie. download/install a Wifi analyzer app.. can you see the 5GHz networks?

I've got an Orbi which annoyingly uses the same SSID for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, so it's hard for me to tell. Wifi analyzer seems to suggest I am connected on 5GHz (but again, I might be confused)
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] J M L:
No, I just let the OTA install when it said it was available. The only problem I've had is that the calendar keeps giving a notification that calendar notifications are disabled.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] RMXO:
Weird thing is it sees the 5Ghz mac address but it recognizes it as a 2.4 though and I'm 100% its 5Ghz as my other devices are able to connect to it with no issues.

LEt us know if you still see your 5Ghz after a factory reset, whenever you decide to do it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] pastorbob62:
Okay, tried it again following the procedure you describe above (and as found on ashyx's thread) and I am bootlooping TWRP again. So much for your theory. Going back to Lineage and staying there once and for all.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] musashiken:
Which TWRP did you use? You need one which works with the Nougat stock rom.

I used the latest one from here. Not ashyx's one.

https://dl.twrp.me/gts210vewifi/

I'll post the steps I used again

- Flash stock nougat rom using Odin.

- Boot into stock rom and ensure oem unlocking is enabled in developer settings.

- Turn off tablet and go into download mode.

- Flash the twrp tar file using Odin.

- Immediately manually boot into TWRP after flashing in Odin. Instructions are in ashyx's thread.

- Go into wipe, and then format data. Type "yes" to do it.

- Reboot into TWRP again.

- Flash supersu zip and then the no verity no encrypt zip. I flashed from the external sdcard.

- Reboot

- Supersu should now appear among the apps.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] pastorbob62:
Well, the only things I did differently was I used ashyx's TWRP (twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-t813_14417n.tar) and I forgot to disable auto-reboot in Odin, so it booted to the system before I booted into TWRP. I will try again following your steps exactly when I get off of work today. I understood that ashyx's TWRP worked with stock Nougat but apparently not. :confused:

Update - Did the update procedure exactly as you posted here and it works great. :good::good::good::good::good:
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] daveid:
So this morning my Wi-Fi completely broke, can't get into the settings, toggle it on/off, even using third party apps, no more wifi, seems Bluetooth is also broke. No modifications ever, I tried resetting network settings, did nothing. Guess I have a pretty fancy paperweight. I did a factory reset after the nougat ota, not trying to do it again less than a week later.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] pastorbob62:
One of the main reasons I buy third party extended warranties for all of my devices. It has saved my butt more than once. Especially with all of the customizing and flashing I do. And they don't care if your device has been unlocked and rooted.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] daveid:
I'm still under warranty here, less than a year old. But, I reset network connections multiple times and got it working again. The 5ghz networks still weren't showing, but a third party app allowed me to connect to one, and now settings shows them. So, everything seems smooth again.

[Galaxy Tab S2 General] pastorbob62:
Only if you don't buy it at the same time you purchase your device. I bought it for two phones at the time of purchase and it was only $43.99 per phone. I used this insurance on my Moto G (2014) and they refunded the purchase price of my phone less a $25.00 deductible. The phone was over 2 years old when it died. I also have a laptop that I covered with a Squaretrade policy for $49.95. The hard drive failed after a year and it was repaired no charge. All I had to pay was shipping to the service center. When I bought my Samsung tablet I added a Squaretrade policy for $49.95. All of the warranties cover the devices for two years after the original warranty is up. The $25.00 deductibles also lower the initial price.

The key is to get the extended warranty at the time of purchase. No way will it cost you $135.00. If you wait they don't know if you have already damaged the device and are trying to pull a fast one. ;)

I've been running the UK version on my US T713 for a few weeks and its perfect.

As far as I can tell CSC is the only difference.

Backup first.

Odin the BTU Tar (turn off reboot first)

Disconnect Tab, reset odin. Re-connect phone (no re-boot necessary)

Odin TWRP (turn off reboot first)

Boot to TWRP

Format data

Do the usual things and it'll be fine

Or, just wait for a little while longer. XAR typically comes out a month (give or take a few days) after BTU and that's just a few days from now.

As [MENTION=5196670]pastorbob62[/MENTION] said, select US English during setup wizard

You can Absolutely Odin back to MM. I've done it a couple of times.

Odin the MM Tar (turn off reboot first)

Disconnect Tab, reset odin. Re-connect phone (no re-boot necessary)

Odin TWRP (turn off reboot first)

Boot to TWRP

Format Data

Wipe all but external

Restore backup and shazzam...

You'll be good

Certain members of these forums remind me of some students I teach. They want to be spoon fed all of the answers rather than take notes and do the required research, studying and reading. Just sayin'. ;)

I have installed the stock nougat (T813XXU2BQD1_T813OXA2BQD1_DBT) on my T813 and everything is working very well. I like the overall appearance and performance but the battery drains much faster than it did on Lineage or even stock MM. That is pretty much a deal breaker for me since I use my tablet all day long and it is not always convenient to plug in. I also think it is the result of Samsung trying to do too much with a mid range tablet.

Bottom line is I will be going back to Lineage if I can't find ways to extend my battery life.

The mac address, if same router, will be almost identical, mine shows both the 2.4 and the 5 as separate, with the proper 5G symbol, the third screen (list view) shows all available connections, and all 5G networks are properly identified. Sorry if this doesn't help you, it certainly works for me.

Well, I was able to improve battery life by installing Naptime so I will be staying with the rooted, stock rom for now. The improved battery life added to the fact that my Lineage backup is apparently corrupted is incentive enough. Besides, I do like the overall look and feel of stock. And with root I am able to do everything I was able to do under Lineage. Now if someone would develop a decent custom kernel that is compatible with this ROM. :good::good::good::good::good:

5G problems

I came here to ask a question about stock nougat firmware for the S2 9.7. SM-T813 But I see there are others here reporting the 5G issue. I got the Nougat OTA update back in May 4th. I hadn't noticed any issue until the last few weeks then I noticed the 5G connection issue it seems I am reading about here.

FYI I have further troubleshooting tips in case anyone is wondering. I did some extensive testing today to try and see what was going on in my situation. What I have determined, at least in my case, it my S2 has no problems seeing the lower channels(36, 40, 44, 48) on my 2 router's/APs I use here. However I DO see the issue only on the upper channels(140, 153, 157, 161, 165). For some reason the S2 5G radio can see the lower channel signal but it appears the upper channels/bands are not visible. I was able to duplicate this with 2 separate routers. A Netgear R7800 and an Asus RT-AC66R. The Netgear also has usable DFS channels available which are in between the lower band channels and the upper band channels. A random selection of those DFS channels(top, middle and bottom) all worked okay with the S2.

So for whatever reason it appears this new firmware for the S2 mucked up the 5G radio so that it does not receive the upper band/channels used in 5G routers. The lower bands seem to work okay.

I was actually looking for the stock Nougat firmware to possible attempt to reflash with a different version vs the OTA I got in case it was corrupted somehow and caused this anomaly.
