[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starbright_:
My LOS 15.1 hasn't locked - no Pin, no Pattern.

So I would like to add fingerprint to have some security. But it works only together with a pin/pattern - at least I understand it like that.

So I give it a pin, added fingerprint.

Now I have a problem. While the device is still not asking for pin/fingerprint when open it - it asks when I want to change something in these security settings. But my dammned pin fails. I am 100% sure I used that one.

What can I do? Beside that I can't change security settings it seem I have full access.

And isn't it possible to unlock the device with just the fingerprint?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starbright_:
I could found a few answers by myself.

Don't know why my pin number fails, I reflash a backup and it was clean again.

The fingerprint just replaces a pattern/pin, that's why this is combined. Operating with just a fingerprint is not intended for some reasons.

Hey guys,

I'd really like to start a phone call with my watch.

The main use for this would be that my security gate opens up by making a call to a specific number. Would be really convienient to do this from my watch rather than getting my phone out my handbag and making the call from there.

Hi, I was trying to install a custom ROM on my Moto G4 plus. I wiped the partitions which apparently caused the OS to be deleted, and I powered off. Now when I tried to charge it, it is stuck on this display with a lightning icon in the middle of the screen. It doesn't go away even when I remove the charger USB. It is also getting abnormally warm while charging. What should I do? Cheers

Hi, i have a problem that i think is because of partition of our P20 phones. I have a stereo car player with USB connection to play music from a usb device and works fine, but when i try from internal storage of my P20, it not recognize my files.

I think this is because type of partition of P20.

Any of you know a solution to use our phones as external storage?

Of course i choose option "file transfer" on usb options instead only charge.

Just to let you know guys that the Tab A 8.0 2017 has been updated to Oreo with the September security patch. More info on the attached screenshots.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] ra9na:
Finally! And it's even Oreo 8.1. So now it just needs to spread to other varants of the devices, as the base hardware is identical...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] vsvj:
Urs is T380 rite. The non sim variant. Hope the update reaches t385 also ... soon.:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] AntonyOrtega:
Yes, it's for the Wi-Fi only variant. I think LTE variants will have to wait a little longer because of carriers and the like. And from what I checked, there is no firmware currently available for any of them. Maybe soon :D

I wonder why there is no custom ROM and ports for tab a 8.0. Am I missing something here...?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Mikey1969:
So I just bought this tablet last week. Same exact model, 2017 variant and everything. How do I force it to check for updates? Or is there a way to sideload the update? Right now, it tells me under "Software Update" that the latest updates have already been installed. I mean, if I have to be patient, I can do that, too. :) Does resetting re-download the updates, by any chance? Like I said, it's still relatively new, so setting it back up wouldn't be TOO much of a pain.

And what is your opinion on this? Do I need to root? Right now, the thing seems to run pretty nicely. I'm really only considering rooting it at this point to get rid of the Samsung bloatware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] zeb carter:
I have the SM-T580 (2016 - WiFi only) and I keep getting the same message about having the latest updates too!! We must have patience!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] AntonyOrtega:
Well, in order to do that I just flashed a nougat ROM with a different product code (XAA before, XNZ now) with Odin. And then I got the Oreo update via a notification on the tablet and I just hit the yes button.

I'm good without root, Samsung Experience has all the functionality that I need and then some more, so at least for me there's no need to root my devices. The same for my S9+
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] AntonyOrtega:
And also you don't need to go through the hassle of setting up the tablet again, just use the CSC HOME in Odin and you're good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Mikey1969:
OK, one followup.... What's the deal with the OEM Unlock thing? I have Developer Options turned on, I've spoofed the date, checked for updates manually, and rebooted. Also let it just sit, all of the tips I've seen, but no OEM Unlock option. What am I missing? It could just be the kind of puck I normally have, that is not entirely out of the realm of possibility.

you know, I don' know how to answer your question, I am getting ready to try to root one of these myself, I ran into a problem with this tablet and I would like to tell you about it so you know beforehand. I have stock set up right now, and I play alot of games on my tablet, the one thing I have found with this tablet is DLC DOES NOT usually work with it, when you open a game offline it shows as no DLC. I gotta try to figure out how to root this damn thing as the proprietary stuff is VERY severe.

Nice tablet, GREAT portable TV with 400 GB SD Card and all, but the security on the device is Rediculous.

This war of mine will not show as DLC installed even if you purchase it unless your online, same with Project Highrise.

Roller Coaster Tychoon Classic works perfectly though (DLC always shows as present and available).. I don't get it.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] capriorn1971ad:
Back in the days they called that a low level format on a pc, I am unsure how to do such on a tablet. On a pc you would create a systems disk and add debug.com to it and do it through a debug routine. I still remember most of that but it wont help on a tablet but.. If we could figure that out it would be a big step ( the ability to downgrade the OS). One of my previous post linked to stock roms, bookmark it. I am a n00b with regards to linux.. If we could low level in Linux though.. anyone want to show off their Linux skills? would be good to be able to completely wipe and start anew, that would be "progress".

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] -Maverick-:
Your bootloader updated, so you're stuck now. All firmwares for the SM-T380 are Android 7.1.1 with bootloader 1, and this newest update pushed it to 2. This applies to all Samsung devices in general, you can only move back and forth between stock firmwares if the bootloaders match.

US version not out yet. Check the below link every now and then to see when it's available. :)

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tab-a/SM-T380/

If I'm not mistaken, the only US firmware for T380 is XAR, so make sure you look out for that one.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] duckredbeard:
OEM unlock will (should) show up about 7 days after you enable Dev Options. Some say that rebooting during the 7 day wait causes the 7 day counter to reset. I got a notification from some Samsung Health app saying that my device would benefit from a reboot, since it hadn't rebooted in 7 days. That was my reminder to check for OEM unlock. Sure enough, it was available.

Any chance you have a link for the XNZ firmware? My sammobile account ran out and free downloads are disabled until Fri (guessing they mean 11.30.2018) for maintenance.

EDIT:

Concerning my own GS9+ sometimes don't think about charging it because not worried. However I still may try the non-root/script thing to disable crap/bloatware when I have time because I'm curious

I also didn't root my GS7edge/global (these 2 are the only devices I've never rooted BTW) but battery life did certainly get continually worse. Kinda seeing a trend here.. [Apple/iPhone battery issue/lawsuit] Originally my gs7edge would last easily 2 days but this disappointed me within like 6 months. Hopefully this scenario doesn't continue.

So sorry, lost my train of thought:

Question concerning the OEM unlock issue

-- I did read through the entire thread BTW

-- Is this only an issue concerning root or such or does this pertain to flashing using ODIN in general? I've never experienced this week long issue before

-- Did have a MAJOR issue when my gtabs10 decided not to allow me access (password, fingerprint, etc) and again lost my "train of thoughts" for the moment

Anyway thanks for you post. Hoping to get some direct download links concerning various 7.1 such as XNZ. Also hoping that updating the CSC_Home won't require a 7 day wait period for the "OEM unlock" issue. Using ODIN has no reason to knock off KNOX (no pun intended BTW) so welcome any response from ANY members.

Later, g'night and/or g'morning to ya'll.

No Oreo update 12-01-2018

As of December 1st 2018, my Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 2017 SM-T380 has not received OREO 8.1. It is a WiFi version from Best Buy, no carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Lurrch:
Bought mine from Walmart, but I'm in the same boat.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] mkoyskip:
Some info:

My Tab is/was T380DXU1AQI7_T380XAR1AQI7 - figured out this is "Cellular South" whatever that means [quick search tells me it's another provider I've never heard of until now, kinda surprised that Samsung is providing firmware, but OK?]

Installed XNZ (T380DXU1ARB3_T380XNZ1ARB5) re: AntonyOrtega's post (this was the only firmware I found for XNZ)

-- One thing I did notice concerning the T380DXU1ARB3_T380XNZ1ARB5 firmware was that there was no CP file included. A quick search reminded me that the T380 has no cell service so no need for the modem!? Most of my devices do so was kinda scared at first​

Checked for updates after installation but said up to date, left it alone for a few minutes then checked again.

Now downloading update, hopefully Oreo - taking a while so I'm gonna just assume this is the case (don't think I'm jinxing myself because if it was a normal update would have completed before I had time to type this)

I'll update after final results.

** OK this was very fast **

Updating to T380DXU2BRI6_T380XNZ2BRI6

In retrospect I could have done this in about 30 minutes easily but instead took me like 4 hours

Normally I'd have firmware for both current & future installations - was still downloading them

Full backup of my device (not possible because not rooted) + backups for anything else important

Smart Switch tries but doesn't do a very good job concerning this. Supposedly much of this falls on the app developers as to whether or not smartswitch can backup up apps and or/data in general

I'm not placing any blame here BTW but I will say that when I moved from my gs7edge/int to my gs9+ I was only able to import perhaps 30% of my apps/etc - not good. But also not unexpected I suppose [S**T who really needs an extra 120 apps or such?] Oh yeah, myself! Hah.

### OK LAST EDIT ###

Confirmed:

Firmware: T380DXU2BRI6_T380XNZ2BRI6

Android: 8.1.0

Samsung Experience: 9.5

Etc, etc

Good luck to all. I'd rather provide more info than less, and apologize if my post was too long for ya'll.

Hey there fellow Polaris users!

As the development is pretty slow or nearly not existent for this device, I wanted to know, if there´s any devs out there that can make a working Android Pie Pixel Experience rom for our device?

I and I guess many others would be willing to donate for the effort. I`m using the Pie GSI for now that works pretty good, but there are some issues that need to be fixed.

bluetooth hands free - no sound from the cars speakers so it´s pretty much useless

Camera - I use the BSG Mod by now and many features are working fine and the picture quality is decent, but there´s no 4k video and no slow motion video. I can live without this for now, but if the device supports it, it would sure be nice if it would work

some more minor flaws that we could work out in the process of making this really happen

Would be really nice to see this happening. The base is already there so maybe this device specific issues can be adressed fairly easy. I´m no dev by the way, otherwise I´d do it myself. But I´m ready to support you in any way possible. Even if its with some money for a pizza and some cold drinks!

All the best
