Yes, sometimes even if I have no bars at all the service seems to function properly. Maybe it's a software related thing.

Right now I'm at zero bars but the LTE keeps working fine. Idk what is going on lol

I have wiped my efs file and cannot make calls or receive emails. can someone let me have a copy of the efs folder for the above. thanks SM-N950F
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
If they did that your phone would be using their phone's IMEI, as that is stored in the EFS partition.

Instead, I would recommend searching for a repair guide as I have run across those, and they will help you fix your own EFS and restore the phone's true IMEI so there's no funny business going on. I can use my Google-Fu skills for you after work if you are not able to find what you need on your own.

[Galaxy Tab S2 General] seh6183:
I'm going to save you a lot of trouble if you're considering this tablet and are unsure, as I just put this thing through a lot of testing.

First off I would like to say that I think this is a fantastic tablet. It is just the right size, has an excellent build quality, and runs pretty good all things considered. This has a decnet running/looking Samsng UI, especially considering that it's an older build running on a slower processor. If this tablet had a better processor and maybe stylus support it would be a killer tablet with no competition. It's sad that Samsung doesn't take this size range seriously any longer.

Now for the badish part. This tablet is great for gaming, perfect size, great screen, good enough speakers (mount them stereo next time Samsung!) However it just won't handle intensive gaming stuff, such as Order and Choas 2 or Rules of Survival with the settings turned up. It will certainly play them if you don't mind the low FPS though. Definitely playable FPS for sure, but it won't be butter.

I was curious to see if this was a Samsung processor optimization problem like it is with the Tab s3, so I did some testing to find out. I can confirm that flashing LOS 14.1 it did nothing for the gaming performance. The tablet was quicker and less laggy overall, but the gaming is still limited by the GPU. This tablet also is so good out of the box that it doesn't need the help of LOS anyway.

So there you have it. Great little tablet, just don't expect any sort of massive gaming performance and don't even think about voiding your warratny to try a custom rom because it won't help. In this size range it is really the ultimate for gaming, so I figured a lot of people would be buying it for that, and I wanted to give a heads up. The benchmark scores don't tell the whole story sometimes. I hope they refresh this tablet in 2018 with a better SOC and keep it alive.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Masteryates:
Thanks for the info seh6183. :highfive:

You need to tell us what hardware you are testing as the 2015 is using Exynos and the 2016 is Snapdragon. From previous posts on here, the consensus is that the 2015 has the better GPU for gaming but the 2016 is faster.

I don't game on my tablet so I can't add anything to your observations.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] jshamlet:
I have the 2016 S2, and it is fine for light gaming. However, it heats up fairly quickly if you are doing anything graphically intense for long periods and throttles pretty noticeably. Even fairly simple apps, like Alto's Adventure, will eventually become unplayable if you don't take a break periodically to let the SoC cool down.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] seh6183:
Snapdragon 652.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] spastico:
I just bought a new 'open box' from BestBuy for $209.

I'm not a gamer or user of graphics, mainly a business user. I had the latest 9.7 iPad for a week, and I just kept feeling like one of my arms was tied behind my back.

So I returned it and bought the Samsung Tab S2.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Masteryates:
Thanks for the update seh6183. :highfive:

Are you able to update the title of your post or your initial post to reflect this? Others may find this useful.

Would be interested to hear from a 2015 owner on how it handles the games you mentioned.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] JoRocker:
I cant imagine buying thos for gaming... If you want to game on a tablet I would just go with the iPad. The new iPad 2017 is so much better than this, and you can get one new for 250 and a bigger screen. I went with tablet only because I can torrent and use my Micro USB to USB 2.0 adapter for music and videos on torrents. Thats literally the only upside to going with an Android tablet nowadays
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] jshamlet:
Well, not the ONLY one, but yeah - most of the best games come out for iOS first and then, if ever, for Android. On the flip side, Android lets you actually use your device like a computer and not merely a media consumption machine. I consider that a pretty big plus.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Masteryates:
For me it has to be Android for little things like power toggles, screebl and the OLED screen. :cool:
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] atirage:
So far the only bad side of this tablet that I saw was mentioned the battery life (as they reduced it from S1) and the speakers.

My main concern is the speakers which are at the bottom - how do they behave when you hold the tablet in landscape for watching a video? Is all the sound on the right side? Can the speakers be accidentally covered off with the hand that's holding the tablet? How is the sound on this thing?

My Nexus 7 (2013) is seriously showing its age now and due for an upgrade.

I'm considering this (T713/715) or the Huawei Mediapad M3 (or lite) 8.0 which is not at all supported on XDA so I would be stuck with it's software and bloatware whether I like it or not.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] stoatbroker:
I'm in the same boat, but it's vs the M5 and I'm more of a reader. It's a tough decision.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Masteryates:
If your a reader at night, it's all about the reduced eyestrain of the OLED screen. For me, the M5 is overpriced considering I picked up an M3 for only $180.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Extreemator:
Surprise, it was known from the beginning that it has slow gpu, but also not the best cpu, they are continuing this with s3 and s4. They ar selling it for big money and yet, no wonder sales ar low
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Masteryates:
For me the S3 and S4 bring little new to the table.

The S2 (when first released,) had that awesome screen. Even though I never intended to own any Samsung product due to touchwiz, I was sold when that Samsung handed me the 8" version in a store. The combination of killer screen and stupidly low weight set this apart from all opposition. For the 8" version, it could be argued this is still the case.

As long as Samsung keep giving us security updates for the S2, I'm not that interested in the S3 and S4 as 9.7" is too big for me.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] atirage:
So, I bought the 8" wifi version (T713) and I'm severely disappointed with battery life: around 6h SOT!?

I keep reducing the brightness but battery percentages just melt away. I don't know, maybe the LineageOS battery life is better, or a custom kernel would help. (I'm still on stock)

Other things I dislike are the volume/speakers - they're easy to cover up and don't sound so great. Not to mention they're basically mono in landscape mode, I hate that on my phone!

The tablet has sharp edges, very uncomfortable to hold and it hurts my hand after a while, fortunately I can buy a silicone cover for this problem. The rest will stick with me ☹️

I come from the Nexus 7 2013, and this is definitely a side-grade. The only thing that I missed on the Nexus is that it struggled with hi-res 60fps video (couldn't even do higher than 720p60).

Oh well.

Not much choice in the Android tablet market currently, but I certainly wouldn't recommend this one.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] viasat:
No problem,in the future it will not be Android tablets anymore,so you will not have choises at all.

Google just removed tablets section from Android page,take a look at http://www.android.com/tablets/ .

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] jshamlet:
There are very few redeeming qualities left keeping me on the Android side of the fence anyway, and Google seems intent on killing them. The ease of data management, and the ability to run apps that wouldn't have a shot in the App Store (like Nova Launcher, Solid Explorer, etc.) are about the only things keeping me in the ecosystem. Otherwise, it seems like every time I look, the iPad Pro gets more and more attractive.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Masteryates:
TBH atirage, 6h of SOT is very good for the 8" tablet. My T715 has only ever managed 5h. I doubt lineage will increase battery life by much. At the end of the day, that 4000Mah has to power a hell of a big screen.

I find the tablet the best I've ever held, (also had a Nexus 7 2013 in the past.) but I just hold it in the bottom corner, not attempting to get my hand the whole way around. Agreed about the poor quality speakers.

The thing I've liked about this tablet the most in the last 2 years is the solid, (not ever fantastic,) performance. I've suffered no bugs and everything just works as well as the day I've bought it. :angel:
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] atirage:
Not to be all negative about this tablet: the performance is great, granted I didn't fill it up with apps and games yet but I'll see how it will hold up over time.

Even in battery saving mode (70% CPU) it's still blazing fast and a joy to use.

I got a silicon case on it so the handling became better.

And I got used to the sound - it's not good, but passable and loud enough to watch a few YouTube videos in a quiet environment.

I managed to install SABS on it (and make it work), so I got ad blocking now and the ability to disable apps I don't need/use (Samsung bloatware) so I'm hoping battery life will improve a little bit.

It's growing on me.

It was a weird transition from the Nexus 7 (2013), but that fellow got so sluggish that I wanted to chuck it at the wall. That's why I needed the upgrade and the ability to play qHD nicely, and the S2 tab does it oh-so-well.

Anybody can suggest a nice blue light filter app for it?
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Masteryates:
Glad your starting to see the advantages of this tab atirage: :victory:

You'll also notice the screen picks up far fewer fingerprints than the Nexus 7 2013. Don't know what Samsung have done with the glass but its much better. Even though the FP reader is very 1st gen, its still nice to have and better than a pin every time.

I find the sound to be much better if you put the tablet of a flat surface so the sound reflects off it.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] m4rky:
My MDA Compact III keeps disconnecting from WMDC.

I am running Windows Vista with WMDC 6.1.

I keep noticing that my device has not synced to my PC. When I open Sync Center its reported as Disconnected.

If I reconnect the USB cable the Device shows its connected via USB but Sync Center still says disconnected.

To get it to work again I have to go into Device manager on my PC and uninstall the Smartphone USB Sync driver. Disconnect the phone and reconnect it. This then forces the driver to be reinstalled and syncing starts again. But after a while it screws up again and will not reconnect.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks, Mark
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] asnaveenkumar:
hey.. even i get disconnected.. exact same thing happens to me as well..

but i never reinstall the driver n all..

i just remove the plug and wait for few seconds or to the max i soft reset my phone and then connect..

it works after that.

[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lCrD512:
​

IMPORTANT:

Always make necessary backups before flashing anything. In this case backup your stock boot in recovery before proceeding.

I will only consider issues that includes clear steps to reproduce the bug, a logcat or a console ramoops (in case of random reboots) or a dmesg (for other issues), because it provides more info than just saying something doesn't work.

Features:

Latest linux upstream version 3.10.108

Up to date as per AOSP/kernel-common and CAF

Unlocked frequency steps for CPU and GPU

Advanced color (kcal) control

Fingerprint sensor as power or home button by flar2

Sound control by flar2

Sweep2sleep by flar2

Boeffla wakelock blocker driver

Backlight dimmer

Spectrum app support

Flashing Instructions for custom roms:

Download TWRP recovery from here.

First backup boot in TWRP then flash the latest LoonyKernel zip. Reboot to system.

For magisk users, if you have already flashed magisk once, there's no need to re-flash it again after flashing the kernel. Magisk root will be retained.

Subsequent releases can be flashed over the same kernel's older version.

Flashing Instructions for stock rom:

Use only official TWRP for flashing on stock nougat or oreo rom. If you are using elementalx kernel then first restore the stock boot image or kernel then flash this kernel to avoid any potential issues with module(s).

Download official TWRP.

Backup boot in TWRP.

Flash latest LoonyKernel zip and reboot the device to system.

Subsequent releases can be flashed over the same kernel's older version.

Download Links:

Stock rom: 8.1.0 (mirror) || 7.0-EOL (mirror)

For my 64-bit AOSiP 9.0 builds: Sourceforge || AFH

Other pie/oreo custom roms: 64-bit (mirror) || 32-bit (mirror)

For xt1625 users after flashing updated loony my phone hangs at unlocked bootloader warning for minutes. All you need to do is power and volume down boot into fast or bootloader mode whatever you call it and choose start again loads fine after that.

To add HDR is probably not going to ever work with xt1625 that's were the devices are different the plus has a 16 mp camera and I got a 13 mp I've got the camera to work but no HDR option like on my nexus.

ARM 32bit Release 10 has been pushed

Changes are same as quoted earlier.

Those who want to use fingerprint as power button in custom oreo/pie roms have 2 options:

Use EX Kernel manager from flar2 (available on playstore), settings can be changed through gesture section inside the app.

For those who don't have ex kernel manager I've attached in op/1st post lk.fp-power patch zip which can be flashed to get the same feature working, note that you'll also need to enable Fingerprint as home option in your respective rom's settings. There's another zip lk.fp-reset which resets the settings to defaul i.e., home. Patch zip will only work with my kernel.

LoonyKernel has spectrum support so for heavy gamers (pubg etc..) I highly recommend to switch to Gaming mode through Spectrum app before starting the game. It will improve your gaming experience. After gameplay you can switch back to Balance mode. Spectrum app is also available on play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.frap129.spectrum

[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lCrD512:
This is not compatible with stock 8.1 soak. Some internal test builds work with soak but camera is broken which is obvious as we don't have kernel sources for official 8.1 release, so it's not worth working on it for now. Once sources are released (after official 8.1 release) I'll update the status accordingly.

I am using pixel experience pie on it, camera is broken and camera API 2 is not being enabled. Can you fix it ?
[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] CMKdaGreatest:
Every Oreo/Pie ROM has non-functional camera as of now. You can fix it by using flashable zip of Asus camera. I'm sorry, I don't have the link to it. It fixes green photos and video recording.

The developers are working towards fixing the camera issue, and since the Oreo Soak Test has come in November, they have new blobs to work with, so that gives us a little more hope. All we can do is wait.
