I used this display tester app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester) (Use the Burn-In detection test and try some dark colors) or just use the uniform dark grey background from Google Chrome.

On my device that I returned the display issues were only visible when the display was not at full brightness - so best try in a dark room. Attached are two images of the screen on the unit that I returned.

In the UK samsung released two update for the LTE model. T725XXU1ASE8 and T725XXU1ASE4, both may update. Any change with the wifi? Radio fw is different as well
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] jutley:
I just bought one today wifi model and i have no issues with wifi or screen all good here :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] NaXter24R:
So, here i am. Today i've got the new FW update in Italy.

Old one: T725XXU1ASD1

New one: T25XXU1ASE8

There is a new modem as well.

I wanted to do some tests, so, i have a Fritzbox 7490 and i run all test on the 5ghz network. I DO NOT CARE about the 2.4ghz, is old, is slow, is useless. I have a Gigabit connection 1000mbps down, 200mbps up, so bandwith won't be an issue. There are 6 speed tests and i've done those with the newer FW in 3 differents spots: 1m away from the router, in my bedroom (5/6m away, one concrete wall in between) sitting on the bed and one lying on the bed which is maybe half a meter away from the second spot. All 3 tests are done with an without hand in front of the antenna.

As a baseline i have my Sony XZ1 Compact. I can't speedtest with it for a simple reason, it has a Snapdragon 835 and a proper antenna. Is a lot faster and has a better connectivity, but still, is good for reference.

Same goes for my Tab S 8.4 LTE, better connectivity but speedtesting would be useless due to old memory with much slower write speed (my network is much faster).

That being said, this is my XZ1 Compact, sitting on the bed

[IMG="XZ1 Compact - Bed"]https://i.imgur.com/na4LaQSl.jpg[/IMG]

This is the S5e on the same spot, no hand

[IMG="S5e no hand - bed"]https://i.imgur.com/snKUdhYl.jpg[/IMG]

This is the S5e again, no hand but with old FW

[IMG="S5e no hand - bed - old FW"]https://i.imgur.com/9ty4MS8l.jpg[/IMG]

S5e again, this time with my hand on the antenna

[IMG="S5e - hand on"]https://i.imgur.com/dQ9cMG8l.jpg[/IMG]

Lastly, this is the speedtest

[IMG="Speedtest"]https://i.imgur.com/bZ4jBX7l.jpg[/IMG]

And again, old but gold, Samsung's schematic showing the GPS antenna which apparently, if covered, drops your wifi (again, i still think they have no clue about how to solve this)

So, is it any better?

Slightly, it seems to be a bit better at holding connectivity and reconnecting faster, but i need further testing.

Is it fixed?

Nope

Is a FW update going to fix it?

Since in the UK they release this very modem after a "ASE4", i'd say definitely no.

Isn't it what you're telling Samsung since the end of April after replacing 3 of those tablets?

Sure it is.

I'll need some further testing to be sure about this, but so far, is not good. Is better, but still not good enough for the price. In 2019 this kind of wifi issue are ridiculous, but i'll leave my rants for another post, so i can test it further.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] torickray:
I do experience the wifi issue. But it is not that bad. Maybe because my hand is small?

To produce the issue, I need to cover the bottom of the corner as well, but my normal holding position just involve the side edge. So, wifi issue is not affecting me.

I guess you should return it, maybe wait for s5, surely they will fix the design by then.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] NaXter24R:
Since now is war, and i really got sick of this situation and i want Samsung to aknowledge they f****d up badly with this tablet, now i'm in digging mode. So, thanks to this wonderful website, i managed to find some pictures of the interior.

This is the S5e. Remember the pic i posted before, the one that Samsung sent me. They screwed witht he antenna position.

[IMG="S5e"]http://nadiemellamagallina.com/img/pasos/416250.jpg[/IMG]

Here you can check it better: Antenna

As a comparison, check the Tab S4 antenna, how a proper job is done:

[IMG="S4"]http://nadiemellamagallina.com/img/pasos/372680.jpg?1540223235[/IMG]

The proper receiver is on the right, single blue cable.

That being said, the plastic line doesn't follow the antenna, and since is metal, is like is shielded. Great job Samsung

Get special Magisk Manager
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] ivanox1972:
Exactly this link not working, bit I picked up it elsewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] ivanox1972:
[MENTION=303482]mingkee[/MENTION] ok, I done something and need little more.

1. I got afraid when installing patched AP (I got no error when made it in magisk manager from original AP), but got fail in installing it.

Fail 1 success 0. IS this normal?

But all boots and goes further normally.

2. Wiped all

3. made initial setup. magisk manager was not there, I installed it again (same one used for patching).

4. what now. I have newest manager and it said magisk not installed of course... how to get root? i opened it and nothing happen

it say magisk manager installed, magisk not installed. do I need to do magisk somehow manually?

when press power vol up on start I finish in stock recovery, and mast do manual reset. clear is it is not rooted, I cant boot with vol up power

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] mingkee:
Make sure you patch the AP with that Manager (not normal version)

Did you unlock bootloader?

Enable OEM unlock and turn it off

Press and hold both volume up and down when plug it to host computer. You should see a prompt to unlock the bootloader or enter download mode
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] ivanox1972:
I unlock it first definitely.

Magisk manager you put on thread is not possible to download, but I got ot from main thread. I suggest you to give link again.

But is it normal to get fail result on odin?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] ivanox1972:
hmm. something else is problem. I picked exactly same file yesterday, from same link. It is same.

So again key question: is it ok to get fail on odin flash or not?

and maybe I needed to flash all 4 files not only ap?

thanks [MENTION=303482]mingkee[/MENTION]

You point me to absolutely newest 214 build.

I see 2 possibilities: older (you used was ok, newest not)

or I got absolutely newest build for t725 on sammobile and it cant be patched in the moment?

what do you think
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] mingkee:
Try current version first.

Keep in mind you have to patch AP first every time when you want to update.

Make sure you read the note from [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION]

I did few tries before I got success on T510

Yes but will repeat all.

Can't be normal to get fail i odin as resulting
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] insomnia77:
That's crazy. I hope you can return it for a refund. That's why I purchased mine through Costco. So I can use it and return it just before the 3 month return period closes. Then I'll buy another and repeat until they fix the problem. If not by then I'll either get tab s4 cheap or s5. I can play games too lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] NaXter24R:
I can't. I already got 3 from the shop. And it's fine. Samsung records every phone call, they told me i can have a refund from them directly if i'm not satisfied. I am not. But more than a refund i want a solution for this wifi. I gave them all the proof they want just searching online and yet they refuse to aknowledge the issue.

I could pass over the money, but i can't do the same for the product itself. It needs to be fixed and they gotta stop fooling us customers. My question about the download mode made me understand that. He didn't say no or yes. I mean, mafia do that stuff not a corporation.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] mingkee:
Wi-Fi is more likely a hardware issue (antenna/chip location)

You may lose signal if you put landscape.

I don't know does it allow 360° rotation. If so, you can place as "reverse landscape" so your hand won't cover antenna.

I have Tab A 2019 and I am 99% satisfied after successfully rooted.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] mingkee:
Hmmm....

I thought it has same platform (Pie) as T510 but now I may be wrong

Now T510 has TWRP and hopefully S5e will have source code released and you can flash through TWRP.

As long as you have full stock ROM, you should be OK

Currently I am struggling with T380 root after updated to Oreo and I bricked it few times. Stock ROM saved it
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] ivanox1972:
Ok, boss, I will stay for the moment. No next tries, although I think it is same sw platform and can be done this way. I have few questions :

1. Is it normal to have message (I regret I haven't made photo of it) that sw is custom etc...

This message comes on main screen, immediately after boot, on top is device name bottom is this? It is before message that BL is opened...

Do you have it on your rooted tab A?

2. Maybe only error is that I flashed only patched AP, not all 4 files?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] mingkee:
Exclamation triangle on the bottom?

It happens after unlocked bootloader. It happens on my T510
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] ivanox1972:
Unfortunately I haven't pictured it.

Not warning about BL.

Other text that software is custom. RED text.

Second half of screen appears, bottom. On top is BL warning

This I post on s10 thread about this root, details... No one answer me::

I tried it on tab s5e, should be same, it is nee generation device?

Got same stock sw as on phone, installed canary magisk, patched successfully, flashed AP successfully (got 1 success..).

Immediately done factory reset.

On first restart I had red text on very first screen, bottom of device name text, that software is custom etc...

I tried to again force vol up power (this combination is for tab s5e to boot magisk), but it just restarting to same screen.

I allowed it to go again, and it finished with somehow damaged first screen (just inaccurate time 16:01 on status bar and navigation bar on bottom, other black, irresponsive...)

Only possible ro restart but it cant go anywhere with only power or vol plus, minu, any combination :only to this:

security error

"This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software and is locked, call your mobile operator for additional support”...

Only I could is to use combination with vol plus and minus WITH power to pc where I got normal download mode and flashed whole stock, all 4 files.

Successfully, now I am on pure stock

But, where is err???

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] mingkee:
Bootloader is not unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] mingkee:
Actually, if you ever went to [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] note on rooting Samsung Pie, you may notice bootloader unlock warning screen after Samsung splash screen.

Did you see such text?

After you have unlocked bootloader, you should see exclamation with triangle under Samsung splash screen followed by bootloader unlocked warning.

If you don't see both, the bootloader is not unlocked. If you attempt to flash patched ROM, you will get "unauthorized software" warning.

It happened on my T380 once before unlocked bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] ivanox1972:
BL is unlocked definitely. Now I have all stock and same screen appears on boot still of course, because I haven't re locked.

Unlock is totally clear to me and done (on download mode long press vol up........ all done).

I am talking about other text on same moment in BOTTOM of page (upper part is this BL warning):

this text I had only after AP patched flashed. It leads to unsuccessful boot and nonfunctional rom (I escaped by flashing all stock 4 files).

Unfortunately I haven't pictured this. It is all RED text, say something that I have custom software and I forgot rest. Maybe because I flashe only AP.

If you want to give me some contact for chat, send me pm.

I have few pictures to send you

did you have wifi issue when you hold the device in landscape mode while covering with your left hand?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] mingkee:
Unfortunately, I have run out my idea until I get mine if it has discount.

I don't have experience to develop TWRP so I hope some developer can help, but TWRP for T510 installation is not for weak of heart.

I will definitely get Tab S5e because T510 doesn't work well with PD accessories.

BTW, you can get USB C audio adapter (the one for Apple works but volume is small)

Stay with full stock for now until I got mine and find a solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] jrac86:
I tested it both at work and at home. My wifi at work is slower and there was no drop when covering it - remained around 25-30 mbps. However, I have a gig download speed at home and it dropped drastically from about 500 mbps to about the same speed of my work network. While it does bother me that this design flaw is there, I am satisfied with the device as long as I do not lose connectivity (which I was unable to replicate) when using the device day to day. Streaming videos, browsing, and internet gaming all remained functional even with holding the corner. For reference, I have the US 128gb/6gb ram model.

I am waiting boss [MENTION=303482]mingkee[/MENTION] to by device and at least make magisk root without twrp..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] mingkee:
Actually, I am still on the border.

Does S5e support Quick Charge?

If so, it has a good chance it supports PD as I have PD charger and peripheral

Now the latest Magisk (19.3) can root T510 without special version.

It's advised to patch AP with different options. Try to patch with and without verity and look at the outcome.

The reason I suggested because I found it when patching T380 ROM

Keep verity: boot loop

No keep verity: boot OK with limited root (no Titanium Backup)

I am still looking closely for any deal. $400 is OK but I hope there's $50 off
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] ivanox1972:
It supports quick charging.

So to to try to patch with normal magisk manager newest?

I will look at options. But, limited root is so- so...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] mingkee:
Root is fully functional on T510

T380 is different story and it can be kernel related. Root was functional on 7.0, but the problem happened after updated to 8.1 and there's no way to go back.

I have tried to patch the whole ROM, install TWRP and install Magisk from there, and tried few times to no available and I still can't make fully functional root.

At least T510 works well except QC. That's why I still want S5e
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] ivanox1972:
It has QC. Charger is qc written on it. Of you want, I can empty battery totally and measure time to full.

If you have fresh idea for me to try, give me instructions.

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] rmsmith:
Hi,

I wonder if anyone here has encountered a problem with the Samsung s5e (I think this is software related not hardware related, but I hope I am wrong so I can get a new tablet). I can replicate the issue successfully by doing the following:

1. Turn off auto-brightness adjustment

2. Turn brightness to the absolute minimum

3. Close the s5e using the finger print scanner button

4. Re-open the s5e using the finger scanner button

Problem: The screen/display goes a greenish colour and has lines down it, but the content of the screen is still visible - just green and liney.

At the time of first replicating the issue, I was in bed with no lights on and had the Night Mode on - but I successfully replicated this without that on later.

Simply by turning up the brightness again the screen sorts itself out and goes back to normal. But you can then successfully replicate again and again. I have restarted several time in the hope it was a software start up bug but it keeps happening.

Hopefully this is hardware problem and no one else can replicate so I can replace rather than refund as I really like the tablet.

Thanks,

Russell.

Hello.

I have this tablet in the wifi version. Mega cool tablet. the only minus is that it is too thin .... ;), the dex mode sweeps.

ZERO! problems with wifi. even through 2 concrete walls, even when I hold my hand in the bottom corner, every corner.

change the routers to more modern ones. you do not think your old router will "catch up" with the new tablet. I use archer c9 v5.1. I recommend this router too.

I change the router every three years. despite the fact that it works. Internet speed is increasing, the number of devices in the home wifi - too.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] NewForce:
:angel:LA 0p

The more ram, the more future prove. 4GB version may only allow you another upgrade to Android 10, 6GB version possible upgrade to Android 11 and 12.

It's a shame that Android tablets never have the up to date SoC, always one or two generations behind. If Tab S5e was using Snapdragon 845, I will not hesitate to buy it immediately.

I heard that Samsung going to change the game with Tab S6, which will come with Snapdragon 855 together with Dual rear cameras. It's a great news, but probably come with much higher price tag like $699 or even $799 for the base Wi-Fi model.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] mingkee:
I have read an issue of Wi-Fi and I found out why

When you hold the unit in landscape with power button up, the bottom left is very "sensitive". If you cover hand on the bottom left, you may lose Wi-Fi signal.

Root is done, but Netflix doesn't install from Play Store somehow. I have to "dub" the apk from another machine to make it work. The one on the machine is "stub" and you have to install full apk.

That's it.
