[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gellmar:
Welcome to the real world, Neo! :)

SIM Card allows having such things like mobile data (this works just the same as the iPad LTE) and voice calls from a tablet (this feature is unique to Android - you can make voice calls just like it is a big phone, using either built-in mic and speakers or via Bluetooth headset). If the SIM is not inserted, there will be no problems - you can safely dismiss the warning.

Regarding the Google-free experience and rooting. Rooting is direct equivalent to iOS jailbreak. Both result in getting root shell (# or uid 0).

To root the Tab, you must flash the CF-Autoroot via Odin: https://www.theandroidsoul.com/root...10-5-lte-sm-t805-one-click-cf-auto-root-tool/ This is for 10.5 LTE aka SM-T805, for 8.4 LTE aka SM-T705 the instruction is similar: https://www.theandroidsoul.com/root...-8-4-lte-sm-t705-one-click-cf-auto-root-tool/

Also it is good to flash the TWRP recovery after you get root to get a rich recovery environment helping you to backup and restore your device, flash custom ROMs etc.nMore info here: https://twrp.me/FAQ/

Dont hesitate to ask questions once they arise.

Ph, and forgot to mention Google free experience. Once you get root, you can debloat your stock ROM but I'd advise flashing a LineageOS ROM for newer Android version and latest security patches. Also, Google services are not present by default in LineageOs but can be flashed separately. However, I am already more than a year without Google services and apps.

For example, I use K-9 Mail + OpenKeychain from F-Droid open-source app market to use GMail with OpenPGP support.

F-Droid is the primary marketplace app having opensource applications. For closed-source apps available on Google Play, the open-source Google Play client app named Yalp Store offers the same functionality as play market but not requiring Google services.

Youtube client I use is Newpipe, opensource app available in F-Droid. There are other clients too, like SkyTube.

Google Maps can be replaced by OsmAnd+ - an opensource client for OpenStreetMap infrastructure, again available from F-Droid app store.

Office application suite I recommend is Hancom Office - it is free for Samsung devices, and it processes documents faster than Office365.

Also, I made it work on LineageOS and other custom ROMs.

I use Brave Browser as a primary Web browser, as it is opensource app based on Google Chromium code but heavily de-Googled and having some cool features like embedded ad-blocker.

Hope this helps you a bit.

Crikey!! Can't thank you enough for the time and effort there, what a great welcome to the other side :D

I confess most of what you said went straight over my head, ROMS and such like, but I will learn as there are clearly some great tips in this post.

So - fine without SIM, cool thanks.

Flashing - gonna take some time to learn but I think the link you posted is what I need, I have the SM-T800

So Lineage is an OS, is that right? And it comes free of Google bloatware/spyware?

I can't believe there are ways to view youtube and maps etc without giving Google your retinal scan. JUST what I hope to do!

Brave Browser - not heard of that, was gonna look for Firefox or Waterfox and set it up myself with RTC discabled, Ublockorigin etc etc (if poss) but maybe don't need to now as Brave sounds built to do what I want already.

Thanks again, great post
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gellmar:
Strange the T800 has no dedicated SIM slot, it is WiFi only. T805 does have a SIM card though. You can check it opening Settings - Phone info. Also you can use the dialer to enter a magic code *#1234# to get info about your firmware (pay attention to PDA and CSC values). Would be good if you provide these here before you start any flashing.

LineageOS is a community built distribution of Android OS (like Ubuntu or Debian are GNU/Linux distributions) with some additional tweaks like Privacy Guard (a framework giving you control about permissions application ask, like a consent or denial to read contacts, GPS location, phone number etc). Full disclosure: I am an official maintainer of LineageOS for SM-T805 and I belong to the team creating LineageOS for other devices on the same chipset, like SM-T800, SM-T705, SM-T700, SM-P600 etc. There are also ResurrectionRemix ROM based on LineageOS and also there are de-bloated stock ROMs based on latest available Android 6.0.1 official factory OS. The official LineageOS is based on Android 7.1.2, and there is a (not very stable) 8.1.0.

I was a long-term fan of Firefox on Android (and I still am on PC!), but Chromium engine is twice as fast on our tablet (90.08 for Brave vs 45.04 for Firefox in browser benchmark)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marrteee:
SORRY! The seller called it a T800 but I checked and yes it's a T805.

I am SO busy at the moment with work and family stuff, not sure when I can get round to this and it looks like I have a lot of learning to come which I am dreading a bit with my schedule as it is! Don't suppose there is any chance someone (if not yourself) on this forum offers any kind of service? By that I mean, I post the Tab with cash to cover the job, and someone roots it and does the things you have mentioned then post it back? Probably a bit too much wishful thinking, but if you don't ask.......

This can be done remotely via TeamViewer - you can be around and follow my commands like press home button etc. The rest is done via ADB on PC side. But write me in PM next week - I have some things to do that I promised before.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marrteee:
That's too kind of you. Not sure if you mean Teamviewer with the actual device or another computer. I am in no hurry at all. My device is factory stock right now, been reset and I am not doing anything with it for now.

Thanks again
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marrteee:
I don't suppose (given your knowledge of privacy issues etc) you know of a secure alternative to Skype? I am talking mainly about a desktop app. I have researched many times over the past year and it seems to me that every time something decent gets going, they get shut down or just close down without much explanation. Sure seems suspicious in some cases. Best I could find was ViPole, which is good although has some weaknesses. I can't believe nobody has made something that can do the basic stuff Skype can do! (text, video/voice, screenshare and file share). It's so simple by today's standards! Of course plenty of options until you get to P2P or encryption, then there seems to be nothing which actually works very well at all! Just in case you know of anything?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gellmar:
Look for Signal and qTox.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marrteee:
Thanks. Tried and still use Signal, although it's got some flaws and not at all sure I trust the privacy side. I really need screenshare too which it doesn't have.

qtox and utox i have tried, tried all the tox chat programs. Completely buggy and unusable. Nice and secure though , which makes it a shame they can't make the software work properly! notifications dont work, cam, calls completely broken. unusable.

I looked at variuos others but it's all going over to apps for smartphones and tabs now, I want a desktop app. Maybe Skype through VPN would help a bit, but not ideal!

Thanks again

To accelerate the process of bringing up the quality of opensource projects, one must at least report the bugs timely. Have you filed a feature request? We all donate either our money, or our time to the community. Some of us donate both :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marrteee:
Ha, yes I do make reports whenever I spot anything. I am talking to one of the developers about it but I don't see it getting fixed as the impetus seems to have gone and no way they will add screenshare I dont think. I will try though yes, least I can do in the hope that someone produces something useful but not "in bed" with the government!

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] nikmaverick:
After updating my Moto G5 Plus to Android Oreo 8.1, I am facing many issues with it. Some of them which I noticed so far are-

1. Fingerprint scanner stops working occasionally: It doesn't respond at all sometimes. I had to restart my phone every time to make it work again.

2. Wi-Fi connectivity is not stable: It gets disconnected from Wi-Fi networks very often.

3. Turbo charging is not working: The fast charging is not fast. It takes longer than usual to charge my phone's battery after the update.

4. It's slow: It has become slow after the update. Very slow in responses. Even deleting a text message takes 10 seconds.

Do we have fix for these issues?

Have you tried backing-up your data and performing a factory reset?

Which ROM version did you update to?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Bruno_Puzoni:
Mine is nothing like this, that's strange. But, my Whatsapp has now a bug, I can't take photos inside a chat anymore, the camera just doesn't shoot. I have to open the Cam app normally, take a photo and then attach it to the conversation.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Mrkblo:
Same. I've noticed that if you switch to front camera and then back to back camera it will work inside the chat.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Scarecrow.:
I did have the WiFi bug...very irritating to say the least...no other problems though...you should back up your data and do a factory reset...might help...didn't help me with the WiFi issue..But. I guess that was due to weak wifi signals...in a strong wifi zone it doesn't disconnect..

Hope it gets fixed.

Is there any patch for Volte on Airtel & Vodafone networks in India for the latest stock Oreo build ?? Volte turns out to be really useful and till now only Reliance Jio supports VOLTE in India.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
Been on Oreo for a few months... I have had none of these problems.

I have seen some delays in editing, but nothing like 10 seconds... switching to Swiftkey cleared it up... Google keyboard seemed to be the cause.

I'm on stock Oreo and I have this weird Wi-Fi issue where it disconnects, even when my device is literally next to the Router. After the update, I have done a Factory reset but this annoying issue still exist. I am ready to flash a custom ROM if it can solve the WiFi issue.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Scarecrow.:
Hey,

My WiFi issue seems to have resolved without having to flash a custom rom..I didn't do anything in particular apart from factory reset a couple of times(incidentally)...flashing a custom rom should definitely help you with the issue..

Cheers!:laugh:
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] manubhargav:
Let me try resetting my phone a couple of times. I see no other way than to flash a custom ROM if it doesn't get solved. with factory reset. Thanks:)
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Scarecrow.:
Also if it helps I didn't reset the phone multiple times consecutively... I used it for a few weeks in between the resets..

Hope it works for you

This is a well documented issue with the Lineage 15.1 Oreo ROM, at least on my Samsung tablet. Makes me wonder if it's a bug in the Oreo code.

I bought the Exact Same one from Amazon.

What I Hate about it is the Extremely Cheap Curved End Pieces.

They are so thin and cheap, I wouldn't trust them at all.

I have another Watch that has the Curved End Pieces and they are Solid Steel which is Way better than the thin metal that comes with the Quality Black Band.

I like the silicone straps lately, just find the black with black on the Galaxy Watch a bit too boring. Added a bit of color.

Navy blue Barton Elite silicone strap. Good quality. Comes with a small and long strap.

No, I meant the intersection between the watch and the strap being curved like the exterior of the device

What do you mean by normal market? If you could maybe upload yours and share with me I would appreciate it.

Also your strap looks great. Is it comfortable?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Clarens:
Out of normal market, I meant out from the gear apps store.

Regarding strap It's not as comfortable as "silicon" original strap but as any leather cummon watch strap.

PS We are in the middle of moving and my hand is all bruised up. :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] bill_viper:
That's beautiful!! And finally some good taste on band (bracelet) and ring.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] gruuvin:
When I bought the 46mm watch a couple weeks ago, I didn't like the look of the stock strap in the pictures, and I didn't like the idea of a plastic strap, so I ordered a black steel one that has gap-filling ends.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071XG4BRY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But, I don't wear it. I prefer the stock strap. To me it actually looks better, because it just fits the watch perfectly, and it is more comfortable and more functional. The steel is either a bit too loose or a bit too tight, which can be uncomfortable (and can snag your arm hairs). That's what you get with steel, because it has no elasticity. And with the stock strap fit snugly, the watch does a better job of tracking heartbeat.

I was originally not thrilled that there was no option for all black, but I now think the stock silver and black combo looks great!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] aaronito:
do you have link from band and outer ring?

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] gruuvin:

dud - returned

Sorry haven't been on this thread for a bit so maybe too late.

This was one of many I have tried in a desperate attempt to fill the huge gap between watch and strap :(

Not only was this a swine to fit, it came loose, luckily I noticed before I lost or dropped the watch. It was then I realised that the feeble flap to fill the gap was scratching the body of the watch.

I've tried several since and all have failed one way or another... the search continues, but the current one has a really ugly gap :( (But at least has the proper quick fit pins and hasn't come loose!)
