[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] lukesellwood2:
one thing i have noticed is it is only happening on some networks it does not appear to be happeing when i am at work but does at home however dont think its my wifi as multiple people are repoerting the same issue on the samsung website reddit and here.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] nicholb:
Same here, no issues so far at work, but happening regularly at home. I wonder if it is a specific brand of WiFi router or a feature like mimo that is causing the tablet's WiFi to crash.

I'm using Netgear Orbi's at home with all the advance features on.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] jrac86:
Happens a lot to me, I'm using Ubiquiti mesh access points. I wonder if it's related to mesh networks specifically.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] kenkaw:
Happens to me as well. From time to time, Wifi hangs/crashes on the Tab S6 on my Netgear Orbi mesh network at home. Reboot required.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] nicholb:
I suspect it is some feature that is causing the WiFi crashes. I may try turning router features off to see if it makes a difference. For now it is just annoying but easy to reboot. I'm hoping the next firmware update resolves it. I'd expect there to be a bug fix one coming within a month or two after release.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] jansenonline:
Same issue

OK so at least it isn't me. I'm having the same issue. I'm on Google wifi. Sounds from the commenters that everyone is on a mesh wifi. Could that be the problem. Has anyone contacted Samsung about this already?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] lukesellwood2:
Not sure if mine is mesh or not I'm on talk talk in the UK but only have 1 access point however my hub does swap between 5 and 2.4 ghz so that could be causing it for me. And there is a thread on samsung community US and EU about the issue. If you just Google tab s6 wifi issue it comes up.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] jansenonline:
Possible work around

Good to know it's on those forums also (sorry but the more people experiencing the bug the more likely it gets fixed).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] razzrmaxx:
I did not have any issues with Wi-Fi until I stalled Blokada adblocker's latest Version. I re instalked the previous version and I have no issues again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Und3adShr3d:
Whilst I'm not using a mesh WiFi at home I do have a router that swaps between bands. I'm thinking that this could be the cause but I don't have the issue at work (Meraki)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] razzrmaxx:
I have Orbi Mesh wifi at home as well and i have 0 issues, and also... Update: the older Blokada Version 3.7 is also causing my internet crash
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] harrytran86:
Does this only happen to wifi version? I have LTE version and doesn't have issue when using wifi
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] lukesellwood2:
i have seen reports of it happening on both

the main thread seems to be on the samsung forum here

https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Tablets/Gal axy-Tab-S6-Wifi-Issue/td-p/832800
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] lukesellwood2:
i have also posted a review on the samsung main website highlighting the bug to samsung and this is the response i got.

i would suggest we all go and write a review on there website as this would help to highlight the issue as widespread and hopefully they will fix the issue faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] lofgents:
I have the same problem which happened on my home router when I went to another room and my other devices auto change from 5g to 2g the Tab 6 would not connect and when I returned to the first room it would not connect to the 5g network. Had to reboot. Where
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] nicholb:
On your Orbi, what advanced WiFi features do you have on or off? (Beam Forming, MU-MiMo, Fast Roaming) I have them all on and am seeing the issue only while at home on the Orbi WiFi. I'm wondering if one of those are causing the WiFi crashes.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] razzrmaxx:
I didn't change any settings, stock settings is what i have but i'll check when i get home and post a screen shot
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] BlackDave:
I've had it happen to me once so far and it was at home. I'm using Eero for a mesh WiFi but they are running in AP mode as I am using my Netgear XR500 for the gateway. It has not happened at work so far and I've been using the crap out of this tablet since Sunday as I recently broke my phone. I am using the WiFi-only model.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] razzrmaxx:
Here are my Orbi mesh model and settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] nicholb:
Would you expand the advanced WiFi settings and find the screen I posted? That has the settings I am suspecting.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] razzrmaxx:
Sorry i thought it uploaded 3 pics..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] nicholb:
OK, so you have those 3 options off. That could be the difference. I'm going to turn off the "Fast Roaming" option on mine to see if it makes a difference.

If you want, you could try turning on one of the other two options and see if you start having the WiFi crashes.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] razzrmaxx:
I played arround with those settings when i 1st got Orbi and i had issues with some devices dropping wifi, like a galaxy s7 edge and a galaxy s8 plus, also an hpc laptop. So i decided to factory reset it and i have had the best wifi ever with this router than any other. Also, i have no issues with my VPN service on the tab s6, only with Blockada until i disable blokada the wifi dies and i have to restart it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] nicholb:
It is not "Fast Roaming". Had the WiFi lock up with that off. I'm going to try MU-Mimo next. Looks like I may have to reboot the router first as it is not letting me shut it off right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] nicholb:
It's not mu-mimo. Trying the last one, beamforming, now.

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

Well there goes that theory. It still happens with each of those options turned off.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] razzrmaxx:
Did you reset the whole orbi system to stock settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] nicholb:
No, just shut off each of those options one at a time. I don't want to do a full factory reset and have to set everything up again (reserved IP, port forwarding, etc.).

Besides there are people reporting the WiFi issue when using different routers so It's not an exclusively Orbi ccaused issue. There is something that is probably common between the Orbi and the other ones that have been reported. I was hoping it was something simple like a feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] razzrmaxx:
Not having any issues since i stopped using blokada, home or work wifi is flawless
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] lukesellwood2:
What is blokada is it a Separate app or something that comes with the device ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] razzrmaxx:
Blokada is an free adblocker that works as a vpn no root needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] lukesellwood2:
Interesting don't have that on mine but I phoned samsung support and they asked me to replace the device so I have sent mine back will update you all when I get the new one suspect it will have the same issue if it is software based
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Gstar35:
My partner just got the Tab S6 and straight out of the box, it wouldn't connect to WiFi. It wouldn't find my Sky router at all when everything else does. I tried rebooting tab, factory reset to no avail. I nearly took it back to shop.

I thought I'll have a look at settings on my router, under the network setting, it had 'Mode' and it was set at 54g Performance, I changed this option to 54g Auto, boom, it found WiFi and has no issues disconnecting.

I'm just posting this in case someone gets the same problem with a Sky Router, not sure if other providers routers settings are the same, but may be worth a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] razzrmaxx:
At this point anything helps
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] lukesellwood2:
This is a post on the samsung community US thread about this issue apparently static ip might be a fix
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] nicholb:
I'll give static IP a try, but DHCP leasing should be giving the tablet the same IP every time anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] lukesellwood2:
Ok let us know if it works sent my tablet for a replacement at samsung so I will try it when I get the new one back
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] LaCereb:
Funny things that are coming up here. If this solves the issue this thing is finally again in a higher chance of buying it. Im so struggling with my decision because i would like to get the wifi version but the bugs that are showing up on this tabelt, uff roller coaster of emotion if i should buy it or not ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] nicholb:
I set an IP reservation for the tablet and still had a WiFi crash. So that's not it. We'll probably have to wait for Samsung to release a bug fix for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] lofgents:
I used my S6 on a public wifi today one I had installed myself it is dual band and everything worked as normal, on returning home to my connection it had lost its connectivity. It actually said that it was connected to the router but no internet. Tried rebooting and then spotted the date had changed to the 14th August reset the date and it connected.

This is annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] razzrmaxx:
Did anyone having issues update the software yet? There is an update available i'm wondering if it fixed the wifi issues
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] nicholb:
Installing now. I'll know in a day or so if it fixes the WiFi crashes.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] lukesellwood2:
Was a new update just released then ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] razzrmaxx:

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

I'm not getting the wifi issue anymore on vpns, solid!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] nicholb:
One day on the new firmware and no WiFi crashes. Looks good since I usually have multiple a day on my home network.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] razzrmaxx:
Good, so i should now root the heck outta my tablet!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] LaCereb:
I bought my one a day or two before the update. Had no WiFi crashes there and still don't have some. (German wifi version of tab s6)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] lukesellwood2:
Sent mine back to samsung after talking to the support team they recommend sending it to them. That was on the 25th have still not received my replacement tablet
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] nicholb:
Three days and no WiFi crashes. I'd say the Oct4th updated fixes this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] lukesellwood2:
What country are you in and would you be able to take a screenshot of the software version so I can check I have the update ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] nicholb:
I'm in the US. Here's the info.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] lukesellwood2:
Just got my replacement from Samsung been about 12 hours just started having dropouts again but I'm still on the August patch so will wait for Sept one I think before calling support again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] FLA NL:
I've a wireless router (Asus rt-ac86u) and a router configured as access point (Asus rt-ac66u) when both shared the same ssid/password wifi crashed a lot of times and I had to reboot the tablet every time it occured. Now I've use different ssid's and it doesn't occur anymore. The wifi capabilities differ slightly between both routers so maybe the tablet can not handle that if using the same ssid.

Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-T860 met Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] nicholb:
Possibly what was causing it as the Orbi also shares SSID names between multiple access points and the two bands. The update with the Sept security patch has fixed it for me. I've had no WiFi crashes since installing that.

[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] DanHakimi:
This has happened to me before, I think -- I restarted, and my phone unrooted itself. What's that about, again? How do I stop it?
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] ctfrommn:
My guess is when you flashed the magisk_patched boot.img you only used fastboot boot instead of fastboot flash so on reboot it reverted to stock.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] DanHakimi:
I feel like I did fastboot flash, but I'll try to fix that. I've done a lot of setup since then, though... Could I just go back into my bootloader and flash the patched boot.img, or do I need to do something fancy now? Do I need to clear my phone to reroot it?
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] ctfrommn:
You can just go flash the patched boot again.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] DanHakimi:
Welp... I did that, and now my phone is stuck booting, it won't go past the G screen.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] GuestK00292:
I haven't tried this, but you can probably fastboot flash your stock boot.img file from wherever your stock img is stored on your PC/laptop. I'm not sure if you need to extract it first though, but still that's one possible option. You can also fastboot boot twrp-x.x.x.-x.img(boot command, not flash) to temporarily boot into twrp and flash a custom kernel...I think Dank kernel is still a 9.0 kernel that may work for you.

& All this is assuming the boot.img got f'd; if it's system that's f'd somehow - you may need to start fresh. If you need to start fresh and want to keep your data, alter the flash-all script file - eliminate " -w " and your data will not be wiped.

*Also, in the future for root, you can download the magisk zip file, temporarily fastboot boot twrp, and flash the zip file to gain root; imo it's an easier option than patching the boot.img through magisk, etc. It's just a temporary boot of twrp so it will not be stored on your device.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] DanHakimi:
Aaaaaand... nope, it's still in a bootloop. I guess I'll try it with the wipe. Edit: yeah, the wipe worked, now let me root it again...

I don't need a custom kernel, I'm not flashing to min/max my battery life or anything, I just want to get this thing working, rooted, and, if possible, with the clock on the right side of the notification bar.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] GuestK00292:
I only mentioned flashing a custom kernel since your patched boot.img messed you up so I threw that out there because sometimes it's a way to get out of a boot problem. (I'm not trying to plug other peoples' kernels/work or anything like that.)

But you got things up and running, so...carry on :cool:
[Nokia 8.1 Questions & Answers] voron the raven:
So its new phone day (well its day 3) and i have problems i hope you have solutions. So the old phone (also running pie) ment i could change my text tone (tone1) facebook notifications (tone 2).

So i now have tone one as the default tone but it now is every tone on the phone, so easy go in the app and change it. Except messages does not have a sound option for notification.

Not to worry i think i can just change facebooks sound ....nope that don't have a sound for notification section ... ah i think i can turn facebook sound off .... i only need to see the notification in the shade ... nope facebook doesn't have that either ... any advice?

Thanks in advance
[Nokia 8.1 Questions & Answers] KapilKhandelwal:
Yes it does (4th from top in the screenshot)

Also check out the Notification Channels for the apps you mentioned
[Nokia 8.1 Questions & Answers] voron the raven:
Not on this UK version, however if you click notifications, default and advanced its hidden under that.

Only took 4 days and thinking i was going mad

Thanks for responding

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] nwitkin:
Does the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ (Snapdragon) throttle the CPU to save battery life or manage heat? If so, is there some way to modify that?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
Of course there would be a way of doing it, but first root must be achieved
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] recepo1:
i believe so i keep it on high performance mode at all times
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] sansnil:
I've only seen this happen if you have either of the power saving moves enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] nwitkin:
I ran a test with the device set to high performance mode, and there is definitely some modest throttling after the 2 minute mark. Root can't come soon enough.

Here are the results of a more intensive test: https://imgur.com/a/3t4o6f3
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] jjayzx:
So you want it to overheat instead of slow down? Damn thing says 174 degrees.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Kreens:
Can someone, who has the Exynos version, do the CPU Throttling Test and share the picture, please?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
The only rootless setting you can set for it is the moderate power save that fix it to 70%

You need root otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] propov:
Every CPU have Throttling. This is about temp. increasing. Have one test in GSMARENA.COM

Flagships vs Gaming phones. After 1 hour hard gaming casual flagships decreasing CPU power on 60, 70 % to prevent overheating. In Gamer phones like ROG or Black Shark decreasing is only around 90%. This is because they have active cooling systems.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Kreens:
I agree. But not only gaming devices. For example, Sony Xperia XZ Premium doesn't throttle that much.

I just wanted to see if there is a difference in Throttle on Exynos and Snapdragon.

If someone could do a CPU Throttling Test on Exynos, I would be very happy! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] zaebwolf:
Exynos is horrendous. Just look at gips. Im starting to believe more and more there's something wrong with my device.
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Sonmav84:
hi, I found the realme q on the net at around 140 euros, a fantastic price. The problem is that the realme q is only in Chinese and English, is it possible to put the rom of realme 5 pro in realme q? thank you all
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] greenys':
Sure it is. They're the exact same device just realme Q is rebranded so they could sell it cheaper. Of course you'll probably need unlocked bootloader to flash global rom(Realme 5 pro) on your realme Q and according to rumors they'll release source code in this december. That means bootloader unlock and root will be possible in this December. After that you'll be able to flash global rom on your realme q. Btw I ordered a realme q as well instead a realme 5 pro because it was cheaper. I'm not bothered by the English language.

Edit.: By intensive testing and some developer help I've discovered that Realme Q has smaller system partition size + different codename (RMX1971 [Indian Realme 5 Pro]) while Realme Q (RMX1971CN) thus this forbids flashing Indian firmware of Realme 5 Pro on Realme Q and vice versa. At least of 2019.10.19. Same goes for Lineage OS since system partition size is 4096 mb on Realme Q while decrypted and decompressed Lineage OS weights 5+ GB.
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] sparking111:
oh my goodness

price is a too good man. I hope at least TWRP and ROOT will be available for this device. I'm gonna order one soon. :o
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] greenys':
You should be able to flash Magisk already. I've successfully unlocked bootloader via flashboot. It's just that I messed up because I installed faulty, test version twrp that messed up my system, now I can't boot. But you should be able to flash Magisk via fastboot.
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] sparking111:
Okay

i've ordered one. Specs are too good for this price.

So there is no way to install Original Firmware again?
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] greenys':
Yes there is. It happens the realme q fastboot.7z file was corrupted when I first downloaded it that's why I couldn't decompress it to get the flashable .img files. I've been working now from 5 am to 9 am to flash them and now my device works with stock firmware. However as soon as I modify recovery by replacing it with either realme q or realme 5 pro twrp recovery it won't boot since it detects boot modification. Same goes for Magisk root. All I achieved in the past 4 days of intensive testing ane flashing was unlocked bootloader but I can't flash root or custom rom either. It's understandable since we're in a very early period of phone release but I'm envious of Indian users who are already able to have Lineage os + Magisk on their devices.
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] sparking111:
But both devices have the same model RMX1971.

I just hope there will be some way to install realme 5 pro custom ROMs on it as well.
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] greenys':
Sadly no. It happens Realme 5 Pro has codename rmx1971 while Realme q has the codename rmx1971cn thus this causes complications in flashing. We only got to know this recently.
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] ahriii:
Hi would it be better to but the 5 pro rather than the Q? I dont do custom roms though, can i have your input?
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] greenys':
Buy Realme 5 Pro. Realme Q supports lesser outside of China 3g and 4g bands. Global and indian version support more.
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] ahriii:
Is the difference only on 3g and 4g supports? I live in the philippines and we only have 4g at most
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] greenys':
Mostly. Realme Q (China) and Realme 5 Pro (global) have different firmware so updates may differ. They tend to at least, I noticed. Also developer support is bending towards global way more than Realme Q. I've realme Q and overall I'm really happy with it. However I'm annoyed by Color OS for it's limiting me in my so well known freedom that I had on Pixel Experience or closer-to-stock roms. Sometimes settings are reset by the Color OS system for example when I set a different notification sound for an app the system resets it to default within a hour. When you set animation speed to higher or lower Color OS will reset that too to default. Also the RAM management is horrible on Color OS. Aside that it's a very fast system, looks good, feels smooth, battery is fine.
[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] ahriii:
Ooof that reset of color os is a real bummer. I hope that future updates will address that ram management, especially the new announcement of color os 7. I'd probably tilt to realme Q as it is much cheaper than the global version. This is considering a month from now and theyre still the same price. I'd go with the global if the price comes down (hopefully but i wouldnt bet on it coz realme 3 pro's price stayed the same for the last ~6 months) . Thank you so much for your inputs, it puts me at ease knowing that i wont regret the overall satisfaction of owning Realme Q/5pro :D
