Thanks NetrunnerAT for explaining this. I notice also there is an "Xtra Start" option?

But my main question relates to how GPSTool interacts with the system.

Does GPSTool enable/disable the GPS unit for other apps to use, or is it simply a GPS utility that can be used to manipulate the GPS. I ask this because I note in Duttys 6.1 setup instructions he said to run it and I thought perhaps it was a pre-requisite to get the GPS working with some ROM.

Is there a way to disable the GPS other than shutting down all GPS related apps and waiting for what I assume is the GPS to time out? It just strikes me as odd there is no way, short of starting a GPS enabled app to see if the GPS is running. Whilst I know it is only a receiver I thought it'd be handy if some COM managers displayed and controlled it.

Cheers.

So apparently all you need to do to convert your phones firmware from Sprint to T-Mobile is flash the stock BQK5 firmware (acquired directly from Sammobile) using Odin. After unlocking my sprint phone, I flashed this firmware with a T-mobile Sim installed. The phone booted up and upon it showing the home screen, shortly after it said something about it needing to restart and configure what I would assume is the newly installed T-mobile Sim. The phone booted, and all of a sudden instead of seeing the normal sprint boot sequence, I saw a T-mobile one instead. It caught me off guard because on my screen was Juvemex method of converting an S8 to any carrier firmware. I was both relieved and sad that I did not have to use Juvemex guide. Hope this helps anyone trying to convert their phone from Sprint to T-mobile. Obviously I have not tried that with any other carrier so I can only confirm this works on a sprint phone using the Sammobile firmware flashed with Odin. Good luck and let me know if this method works for you, knowledge is power:highfive::highfive::highfive:

How did you sim unlock your phone first?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussio] frizzdizzle27:
I went to a 3rd party site and had them remote into my computer and perform the unlock. Unfortunately due to Xda rules I cannot advertise who it was specifically but I can say a general search on eBay does advertise the same type of service. Once that was done I did what I mentioned in the OP and my phone turned into a T-mobile one. It initially booted sprint which was obviously expected, but then it asked to reboot and then viola, T-mobile stock rom since:)

Hey guys,

just wantet to list a few sideloaded apps that are working on my Watch. I've tried a lot, only a fraction works. But I'll keep on testing.

You can't download them on PlayStore so use Google with "appname apk". (APK4Fun is good though)

Please write down your own working apps or those we could somehow get to work in the comments, so I can add it to the list:

ColorNote (no sync with Facebook oder Google possible, because a browser-login is needed) (workaround?) )

BuildProp Editor (by JRummy Apps) (works without limitations)

DropBox (you need to change the lcd density to 180 in the build.prob to login for the first time)

ScummVM (doesn't show any directory when you try to add a game (maybe Oreo related))

Southpark (when clicking on a Southpark Episode it says "can't access File) (workaround?))

UC Browser (works without limitations after a few tries)

Super Fast Charger (works without limitations)

Lifeline (works without limitations)

Instagram (no video playback)

Hulu (no video playback)

Buienalarm (works, but only usable with changed lcd density)

CCleaner (works, but only usable with changed lcd density)

Internet Radio Player (by mUserTech) (works, without limitations)

...

instagram works but video does not work, only images and sound, also the hulu app you can search the library but does not play video
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] seh6183:
This is one of the most unbelieveably slow tablets I have ever experienced. It is VERY interesting that there is such a high percentage of people on this forum who claim their tablet doesn't show any signs of slow down and is very snappy, no lag at all, and gaming performance is top notch. I am here to tell you that these people either work for Samsung or literally have something wrong with the connection between their eyeballs and brains.

Now before I get into the details I would like to say that not all is lost for this tablet and it may someday be the best thing money can buy. Let me explain.... I noticed something very similar when using this tablet. I couldn't put my finger on it right away and then it hit me. This thing feels just like that terribly sluggish s7 edge I used to have. HMMM what do those two have in common you say??? Same SOC, same manufacturer, same-ish software. This thing CHUGS! and I don't want to hear anyone try to refute it. It is unbearable. Just exactly like the s7 edge.

I figured I might be able to clean up the performance on this thing with a custom kernel, just as they have done over on the s7 forums. I was wrong. I rooted and installed a kernel that would allow me to set the governor to performance to see if it helped. It did, but not enough. And performance smokes your battery in no time anyway so isn't a real solution. Samsung has literally destroyed this chip with their DVFS junk just as they have done in the past. I can't belive this was allowed to be released like this AND at this price.

Now for the good part. The s8 was pretty slugglish at release as well (not quite like the s7), but was recently updated to Oreo and it FLIES, just like the Note 8 does. It seems Samsung has finally started taking performance seriously and has figured out how to make their phones have great performance without sacrificing battery life. The tab s3 is slated for the Oreo update in 2018, so we will see what it does to the performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] undertaker2k14:
Since Google completely messed up their last tablet (the Pixel C's wifi is worse than a 5 year old Nexus 4) and left the market, samsung is the only player left in the so-called highend Android tablet space so here we are with a SD820 from early 2016 instead of a SD835 and broken wifi power-saving since launch. I fully expect Samsung to continue this crap with the Tab S4: copy the 10.5 screen size from the new ipad pro so it looks good on paper but then use the SD835 from 2017 instead of the SD845 which will have been shipping for 6 months by the time they launch the S4 in mid 2018. Hopefully we get a fully working device this time and not something like the Tab S3 and it's totally borked wifi sleep. But hey, could be worse, a fast wifi chip that doesn't sleep and causes power drain is arguably much much better than the slow as molasses crap Google put in the Pixel C (google Pixel C wifi or head over to Anandtech for a deep analysis).

Gone are the good days of the Tab S2 and Nexus 9, both good devices with small shortcomings.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] seh6183:
Oh the irony!

So I bought 5 tablets this week: Tab s2, Tab s3, Shield Tablet, Nexus 9, and Pixel C. I thoroughly tested all 5 and came to the conclusion that I am keeping the Pixel. And now you hit me with this! lol

So I ran to the tablet with my Note 8 in hand and started doing side by side speed tests and range tests. I found that the Pixel is getting up to 3 times faster download speeds, about the same uploads, and the range seems consistent between the two. Hmmm. I already have the Pixel on Oreo so maybe that has something to do with it?

Not sure, but even if the wifi performance is slow or range bad, it is much better than the other 4 in my opinion. I made a post over on the Pixel C forum to inquire and will try to get to the bottom of it.

I needed a tablet that would game well, multi task, and word process fairly easily. The s2 was my favorite of the bunch but just didn't have the horsepower I was looking for, you know how I feel about the s3 already lol (it would be my fav by far without the lag), the shield has a crap touchscreen, and the good ole Nexus 9 actually does very well for it's age once you get the stock software flashed off. The Pixel C was winner by default, not by choice. I hope 8.0 fixes the Tab s3 so I can buy one 2018. I really didn't want to go above 9 inch due to portability, but there just isn't anything out there and I was forced to look at the bigger ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] undertaker2k14:
What's most aggravating about the Pixel C situation was that Google employed their forum mods and drones for months on end to drown out folks like myself who were complaining about the wifi situation until anandtech confirmed what we had known all along:

https://www.anandtech.com/show/9996/revisiting-the-google-pixel-c/4

With samsung, they have kind of acknowledged the wifi power drain exists on their official forums, they are just indifferent to it.

I have had no issue's with my Tab S3 SM T825 I do have to wait on it on occasion hey it's SD 820 but it's only about a second or two so not an issue.

This is from from am Android developer so

And rooting it pretty much renders Netflix useless and I want HDR so won't go into magisk and all that crap just a clean plain Samsung tablet with developer mode on

My OnePlus 5 is more than enough for root stuff

Plus you can always sideload apps so I don't know what you're ranting about and you don't even mention specifically where you found to slow

Gaming is good only game that didn't detect Adreno 530 was Telltale Batman. Video binge watching lasts me 8 hours from 100 percentage at 67 percentage brightness.

What else do you want from this tablet word office s pen

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] seh6183:
It's all in the software man don't worry. Oreo will turn the tablet into lightning just like the note 8. Go look at the oneplus 3, same 820 chipset and it flies and never slows down. Samsung destroyed all the 820 devices with bad software. It will be fixed sometime this year.

It still amazes me that there are people on this site that will argue with you until the end of time that this device doesn't lag lol I can't relate to these people at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sleepy!:
Haha I've given up hope on this thing.

It's basically just a Netflix display and PDF reader for me.

Multitasking just kills it, and I'm sure the skeleton Dev team Samsung has put on this device will not be able to implement Oreo properly either.

I've had a Tab S3 for a year now, and am absolutely delighted with it.

Previously a Tab S, that was getting long in the tooth. Prior to that Nexus 7 and the updated version.

The Tab S is as fast as I could wish for, and great battery life.

I object to your characterisation of people who like it. I expected better from a Senior Member of this forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Velathawen:
I bought my S3 off Amazon and it was pretty sluggish but flashing another region's firmware on it made it fly, been really happy with its battery life and performance over the last six months or so.

Having said that I really don't think high end android tablets are worth it so this is probably my last for a while yet, the cost is too high for the marginal improvement in functionality over a high end smartphone. I knew HDR was a gimmick going in but I was hoping that I'd be able to replace a laptop with the S3 but it just can't quite hang when it comes to any sort of real work load.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kizznyc:
Look at my posts

HDR is no gimmick. There is no such possibility. It's like the js7200 which has HDR but they haven't shown it. But tab has better brightness.

And for all here saying tab lags it just doesn't it's the best flagship tablet to get besides the ipad but oled mean my eyes don't redden anymore or strain at all.

So it's not like a phone flagship ok. But most of your PC's would do a worser job on word than this! Also pixel c just don't match.

Chrome does drain battery I read twd comics entire and every single time it drained 1 percentage for 5 to 10 mins each. Samsung internet had zero to minimal drain considering and in stark comparison. Don't blame the tablet blame google.

Everything is smooth sometimes rarely it acts weird like it's dead but then it's ok like it's got the Hangover once or twice every month for a few minutes.

Stop the hate, this is the only tab that you can love if you can't use ipad or want OLED. I mean it's better than the TV. Now my TV is just the playstation monitor.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Daruniafx:
Maybe you get tab S4 :cyclops:

It is a great tablet, but it has its faults, a limited battery, limited software to take advantage of the Spen, the lack of mechanism to hold the Spen is another serious error, to mention some opportunities.

It's not hate, it's the feeling that it could have been an unparalleled tablet that finally feels like a tab 2.5 and not a real tab s3, and Android does not help much to take advantage of our tab.

Definitely I have enjoyed my tab S2 more than my tab s3, the deficiencies are there and it is something that Samsung will have to improve in the future tab s4. And any laptop with the same retail price its seriously better for daily work over our tab.

In conclusion, great tablet that could have been something that did not finish to achieve.

Hi guys,

i try to root my s7 (930F, exynos) with cf autoroot.

I have a locksreen before the phone starts, i only guess its before or right after bootloader (after the recovery restart to bootloader menu)

Is there any way to bypass this?

What i tried:

- some restart and draw the exact pattern, and a few wrong too

- android-findmydevice not working

- cleared cache

- adb sideload can be reached via recovery, and the rm gesturekey thingy also not working, only "error" result

- dont want to do factory reset, but if thats the only option ... :S

Go there and READ and READ. (Read the Wiki first). You will find all your solution there. Everything you need explained over there.

I will describe the procedures you will need:

1. Back up your stuff

2. Charge up your phone to 100% and connect to your pc with usb make sure ActiveSyn can see your phone

3. CID or SIM unlock your phone first if it is necessary then.

4. HardSPL your phone (You can find the information in the Wiki)

- If you encounter White Screen Problem, check the HardSPL White Screen

Issue - Solved!

5. Find a Rom that you like

6. Find the radio rom that rom supports

7. Flash the rom

8. Do a HARD RESET when you see the "Tab the screen to setup windows mobile..."

9. Flash the radio rom

10. You are DONE!!!!!!!

As long as it's GSM band, then it should all work. You might have to manually setup the 3G network for Germany on your phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] robsahm:
Thanks for the feedback! My main concern was not knowing if it would work with my carrier after I do the ROM.

Thanks again, you have been great!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] White_Hair:
you can always setup your 3G network manually afterwards. It's just a different rom version. It's like you install English version of Winxp on your PC instead of the German version. You can still setup your wireless connection for your PC.

Sine you are in Europe, I would suggest you use Dutty's WM6.1 Rom (The bluetooth has a bit of issue - not able to receive file transfer, but he's working on the RTM version with the fix). Dutty's rom is cooked based on the Vodafone rom (He's in England), so I would suppose there should be pre-set 3G setting for Germany as well.
