[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] TayzGpa:
Man I wish I could help but I've had zero wifi issues with my new s5e. If I cover the lower left corner (landscape) with my hand sometimes it will drop a bar but never fails to connect and never slows down. Having said that, I will be spending a couple of days in a hotel in southern Texas next week and will be taking the s5e with me. I am anxious to see if I encounter any wifi issues. I'll let you know one way or the other when I return. I can tell you, my build number is different than yours (ASH1). Also, I just bought mine last week. Maybe something got fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] 0rigin:
I've had it for about 2 months now and I never experienced any issues, both on 2.4ghz and 5ghz frequencies. I've never used it in a place with poor coverage though.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] vq8acsxht:
Wifi analyzer by farproc in the play store does not work properly. I installed it on the tablet and would not connect to anything even when I was connected (or showed nothing when not connected). I think you should install wifi analyzer by VERN Software (open source) and give us a fresh screen shot. Anyway intersting, my signal does not change when I cover the whole tablet (even the right corner). Signal seems rock solid using the open source app.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
I have been using the LTE variant of the Galaxy Tab S5e for about a week now, and so far WiFi reception has been pretty good so far. However I do know that the top and bottom of the tablet in portrait origination only have one antenna line each
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] TayzGpa:
Just got back from spending 2 nights in a hotel in southern Texas.

Wifi worked just fine. No drops. No noticeable speed decrease.

Did just fine in room, lobby, pool and food court.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] vq8acsxht:
I think the WiFi issue is over blown. It's the best tablet Samsung has ever done (in my opinion). This tablet is even better on Lineage OS. I am on pie and going to keep pie for a couple of more months (I am not trired of it yet lol). It is super light. I just used the finger print reader for the first time on this tablet lol. When Samsung gets rid of all the useless garbage on a tablet and gives what matters they come up with a good tablet. First tablet worth wild in a long time. I hope Samsung will continue to sell a SE (Serious Edition) series tablets. That S pen crap is way over inflated anyway and has clogged there brain. They tend to surcum to all the tech junkie writers that cannot tell them what Samsung's S pen is good for other then to pick there nose lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] juliatan:
Bought the 6/128 Gb version of the Tab S5E and returned for new device because the wifi was indeed weak. But both devices exact same result. Holding my hand in corner of antenna loose only one line of reception so not a big deal. Near router great wifi reception and speed. But at about 7 to 8 metres distance from router (also without wall or door inbetween) suddenly reception goes down completely and device gets in a connect-disconnect loop. Further away no connection at all. And also scanning wifi far less AP's found than with other devices.

At home I have a KPN Experiabox v10A router which is known for it's excellent 2,4 and 5 ghz wifi signal and it is located at the exact center of my apartment. All other Wifi devices and computers have great wifi reception even two floors down on the street at the mailbox. The S5e also had same bad wifi reception at my job, a building with AP's all over the building. At family and a friend reception goes also down at 6-8 metres distance from those routers. And in the train also hardly connection with wifi. While all other devices we brought had great reception incl. in the train. (Lenovo Yoga 720, iPad Mini 2019, iPhone SE and a Redmi Note 7).

Everything else about the Tab S5e is fantastic(, OMG the display!!!). So really bummed out about the poor wifi reception. Heads have to roll at Samsung's quality control department. Samsung added 2 extra wifi antennas in the Tab S6 to counter poor reception, but I find that device too expensive. The Tab S4 has no fingerprint scanner and only 1 year of updates left. And I hate iOS and Apple. So really extra sad about wifi issue of S5E.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] TayzGpa:
Did you scan for software update for the tablet?

My build number ends in ASH1.

Don't know if it would make any difference or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] juliatan:
Off course I have latest update. (Also updated the Tab S5e I returned for the new one with same wifi issue). Would be extremely dumb not to test without potential bug fixes. Build ending on ASH1 too, security patch level August 2019.

I have until November 2nd to return the tablet with full refund. Considering the Tab S6, because with good wifi not too far from router the S5e such a great tablet. But the Tab S6 64GB version at 250,- Euro extra is too much imo. Especially with only 2 years of stock updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] 0rigin:
Taking my words back, it definitely has issues, the reception is horrible pretty much always, when wifi coverage isn't at 100%. I also have screen issues, whereas in portrait mode, the left/top left side gets noticeably darker, especially with lower brightness. I'm doing a lot of reading at night and it bothers me. Anyone returned this hurried up pos yet and actually got a good replacement?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] reubenray:
Is the wifi issue with all models (wifi only, LTE, EU, USA, etc)?

I am debating between this or the Lenovo Tab P10 for my wife.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
Unfortunately this is true. This is an issue with the antenna line placement on the SGTS5e
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] Cifuddh:
The issue is overblown Imo. You would really need to hold the tablet in an unnatural way in order to interfere with the wifi signal.

I tested this out and yes the signal strength did drop about 30% if I held it with a death grip on my left hand.

I decided to try this out with my Samsung note 8 phone that I have had since it came out.....guess what? The same exact thing happened. I am willing to bet that there are many devices that suffer from this same problem is you cover the corresponding antenna spot with a death grip which is completely unnatural.

I wouldn't worry too much.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] vq8acsxht:
How would you know? Did you take yours apart and look at how the antenna is placed? Also, it would be nice to say to other members that you don't know which models are affected.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] torickray:
There are video showing the antenna placement. Just google it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
No, I did not take mine apart. However if you look at the sides of the SGTS5e you can clearly see the placements of the antennas.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] TayzGpa:
Yup
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] rsfinsrq:
Totally agree. I've had mine for months now and never experienced any problems but then again, I hold mine normally. This is an awesome tablet for the money.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] reubenray:
Right now it is between the S5E and the Lenovo Smart Tab P10 which will be on sale on Black Friday for over a $100 less. I am hoping the S5E tablet may come on sale also before I make up my mind. My wife currently has two Samsung tablets that she is alternating due to weak batteries.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] 7914323:
Yes, WiFi signal on mine new S5e sm-t720 at home is significantly weaker than on my previous cheap Tab A 10.1 2016, now have to use my my Xiaomi Mi Mix as a retranslator for WiFi signal, surprisingly works well but I didn't expect such a failure from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] choccy31:
My tablet arrived today, seemed mostly ok, my wi-fi can be up and down usually which doesn't help matters, but when i watched you tube, there were some issues and i installed couple of signal apps etc and deffo drops when you hold it in certain postion

I'm not certain a hardware issue can be fixed fully with software.

Anyhow, wasn't a major issue for me as it was fine for most part.

#FAQ

Ans: Your data is safe after installing the update. For more safety, you can backup your data as an additional safety measure.

2. Will this work on my bootloader unlocked device ?

Load it up and tell us.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] XBrav:
Definitely trying. Stock recovery was not spawning ADB, so I'm trying to boot TWRP live. It's been a while, and it's hanging on the TWRP page.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] kewlzter:
I tried TWRP (installed) didn't work.

I'll try returning to stock and sideloading tomorrow after work.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] XBrav:
Ok, trying the stock way:

1) Reboot into bootloader (Power + Vol Down)

2) Select boot into Recovery.

3) At "No Command" Screen, hold down Power and press Vol Up.

4) Load from SD card, or live dangerously like me and sideload via ADB (Minimal ADB and Fastboot seems to work for me)

Will update once the push is complete.

[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] XBrav:
Did you follow the steps I posted earlier? What does the phone show for errors?

For those of you who were curious:

1) Software channel remained the same.

2) Dual sim in XT1710-09 seems to be working fine so far (haven't tested a second sim, but the sim statuses are showing for both card slots).

3) No issues with mods so far (Tried the battery pack and gamepad. Hasselblad, projector and speaker are not with me).

4) Build number is PPS29.133-30, Patch Level September 1, 2019.

My phone is in Canada, and the modem patch included works fine as far as I've seen. I haven't fully tested the bluetooth stability yet to see if it's working better than before. Android Auto is working great though.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] flashnub:
My smartphone Model name is XT-1710-10, Dual SIM.

I was successfully able to sideload the Update, with the command

"adb sideload Blur_Version.29.11.30.albus.retail.en.US.zip".

It took around 15 to 18 mins for the sideload process to complete, later the phone restarted and showed the usual Moto loading screen for another 12mins or so, for a moment i thought it was stuck, but no, it successfully completed the update process.

Everything is functioning as usual, i noticed that the placement of signal bar, wifi icons, and battery icons on the top right corner of the screen seem to be not proper.

Same is the case with the arrangement of signal and wifi icons on top right portion inside notification drop down menu, seems to be too close to the screen edge.

Additional features I saw after the update are, 3 finger screenshot, Screenshot editor, Media controls provision inside 'Moto Actions'; Attentive display inside 'Moto display'.

Also the addition of "Digital Wellbeing" inside settings Menu.

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

It took around 3hrs for me to solve the problem, I am still not clear, what was I doing wrong.

What worked for me somehow was... I properly uninstalled the old ADB installations first vis control panel and then downloaded the latest version of adb i.e adb-setup-1.4.6.exe, and repeated the normal procedure of adb sideload, this time it worked.

[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] OldUncle:
Thanks to everyone who replied with advices :good:

It is my first try to Sidload OTA.

I found out that, I needed the latest OPS27.76-12-25-22/23 stock firmware and I was using OPS27.76-12-25-13.

I fastbooted to the latest but, it didn't work again and I think the reason is that my device is XT1710-11 (Chinese), though I have fastbooted it to RETEU version (Modems preserved) and works fine.

If my guess is correct, that means I need to wait for the fastboot version for Pie :eek:

Other than Verizon, there really isn't any differences. I've tried all oreos except vrz.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ev107:
This won't mess with my network? There are differences between the regional versions right? Like differences in LTE bands?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] kewlzter:
I am aware. You cannot change your hardware with software. I've tried...

The difference is physical capabilities of the modems in the verious devices.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ev107:
I'm aware that hardware cannot be changed by installing different software... I asked because I was worried the firmware might miss certain elements (ie: drivers or whatnot) related to the modem and the various LTE bands. That's why I asked. I'm a noob when it comes to flashing firmwares.

But it's good to know that a US version won't mess anything up. Thanks.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] XBrav:
There is a modem firmware patch in the deployment, but I haven't seen any negative impacts yet. In fact, most services are more stable currently. I've verified LTE and UMTS/HSPA functioning properly. Unfortunately, I'm a bit outside of the big cities on business for the next while, so I can't verify too many networks.

If you want a specific test done, just let me know and I'll run it. But if you're really concerned, you could always use TWRP to backup your modem.bin prior to upgrading.

Nothing out of the ordinary. I downloaded the adb tools from here and followed the instructions: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/amp/.

Then I used the command 'adb sideload [rom name]'. It took about 15 minutes to install.

I did encounter a bootloop after installing, it showed the hello Moto screen and the Lenovo logo after which it restarted and repeated, rebooting every few minutes. I fixed this by going into recovery and clearing cache. After that it booted normally.
