[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Kutusov:
I bought the Mediapad without much research to replace both my laptop and Galaxy Tab s3 and I'm not very happy about small things:

1. Keyboard operation is bad, it just places in the screen while I'm typing. I believe it is the track pad but also bad integration and problems with operation in landscape mode.

2. Again keyboard. There is no Portuguese official keyboard but some Chinese clone that already broke the hooks that grab the tablet. Not detachable, no decent 3rd party alternatives.

2. No more updates to correct issues: besides no more google android updates, Huawei seem to have dropped support for what was a flagship tablet. Went from 9.0 to 9.1 and that was that.

3. I use educational apps and, again, they have a hard time in landscape mode. It might be the apps but behaviours are similar and I don't see other people complaining about my issues.

4. I rarely need to use Office stuff but I find Android Office suit very poor. The Mediapad comes with WPS Office and that works a bit better, that's why the Surface Pro crossed my mind while I was writing this.

5. Desktop mode feels like some beta product that was being developed and now will not be finished.

6. This is more personal and subjective but I really feel bad about being supporting Huawei. I also don't feel comfortable with all the data gathering and services running in the back.

There are things I wouldn't want to give up though....

1. Screen is IPS but it's very good.

2. Battery life is great, with almost 0 drain when the cover is closed. I can have it away for a week and battery will have dropped 3% or something.

The Tab s6 is a lot of money, especially after adding the stylus and keyboard. I could sell the M5 and soften the blow a bit but at this point it would have to be really worth it...

Would you upgrade to the S6? Would you seriously consider a Surface Pro instead (I know virtually nothing about these)?

I also though about an iPad, I know that IOS is much better developed for a tablet form factor but I really deslike Apple's prices, software (I have 0 experience with IOS) and I would have to run around with duplicated cables.

Opinions would be appreciated! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] TiTiB:
I own both. Bought the m5 a few months after it came out. Have had the S6 since a few days after it first came out. I can't speak to keyboard issues (I've never used a physical keyboard with any Android device), but as far as the "is it worth it" question, definitely! Coincidentally, I was messing around with my m5 (rooted/LOS15 in part to rid it of Huawei spyware) a few days ago and was shocked at how what I was once fully impressed with was now a slow, unresponsive piece of junk—relatively speaking, ofc.

If your budget permits I *highly* recommend the S6, but just read a few minutes ago that there is, or soon will be, a S6 Lite.

Samsung has it's own suite of, imo, highly objectionable software, but their tablet hardware is the best, and there are are methods to disable Samsung crap, just search this forum.

I defer to others about the battery, as I use my S6 exclusively at home, and almost always have it plugged in via a 6 foot long cable; I have it set to charge to only 80%, btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Kutusov:
Saw that too after posting the thread and it caught my eye by being a full size tablet. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] bartleby999:
The Stylus (S-Pen) is included with the Tablet, so no extra cost to give there. Keyboard is a considerable sum though.

The Tab S6 is definitely worth it - That said I've come straight from the Tab S 10.5, it's 5 generations newer than what I'm used to, so the speed of the Tab S6 was always going to impress me. The battery life is surprisingly good though, I'll charge it once a day, granted, but I'm using it a lot and never seem to desperately need to charge.

There's quite a few people around here complaining about the screen on this, but mine is great. There are some issues when it's blending colours in video, some pixelation and noise can be seen, but overall I don't notice that much. And it's only with videos for me, not static images. But some people seem to have gotten pretty unlucky, so worth bearing in mind.

I don't use DEX mode (Samsungs desktop mode) but I've taken a look around it, and it seems pretty decent.

For me, I've no regrets about buying the Tab S6 ( I got it cheap on eBay though, £450 a brand new and sealed 256gb wifi model) but I guess the worthy question is something only you can really answer. No buyers remorse from me though, for what it's worth.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Kutusov:
Thanks for that! I've been reading some horror stories here, especially about stand by time. 50% drain over night :eek: I guess one would read about the bad experiences and not so much when everything is ok though...

The Surface is off my list though, too big and heavy and I could get a laptop for less, for my sort of use there doesn't seem to be a point.

I'll just wait, the M5 is still usable, it's a shame they won't be fixing what needed to be improved.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] TiTiB:
Battery drain is often attributable to misconfigured apps, or stuff running that you never ever consider even using. These problems are easy to fix. Just something to keep in mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] bartleby999:
I don't see how people are getting 50% battery drain over night - That's a ridiculous amount to lose when just idling. I switch mine off at night, but I've had it on today since about 9am, I haven't used it much except some very light browsing for maybe 30minutes, and my battery has decreased to 91% it is now 5PM. So, I've lost 9% battery in 8 hours threw idling with a little use thrown in.

Anyone losing 50% overnight needs to return their tablet for a replacement. Or optimizes their apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Kutusov:
I will. Just saw on your sig you also own a S5e. How's that one?

Something very wrong there, yes! The M5 still sounds better in that aspect though, I never turn it off and I think it drains quite a lot less than that. Probably because it is very aggressive with RAM, radios and app management, one opens 3 apps and when returning to the first it has to refresh, the thing is just gone. I wouldn't trust it with more than 2 apps open.

I guess one could tweak the S6 to something similar...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] bartleby999:
I think you can do that with Android as standard, if you enable Developer Options - There's an option to limit background apps and kill processes as soon as user leaves - Sure that would give the same effect.

I think battery life on the Tab S6 could be better optimised than what I have - I mean, Samsung bloat is going to take a lot, so a debloat could probably give an increase in longevity. It's fine as is for me though, I only use my Tab at home, and the battery lasts all day, even with heavy YouTube usage. I'm down to 74% now and I've been playing games and web browsing - 5 1/2 hours have past since my last post. I consider that pretty good.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] schoolpizza:
I recently bought a Surface Pro 7 i5. I used it for a few weeks and decided it was junk. For one thing, Windows 10 was a nightmare to configure to my liking, and I've always been a Windows guy. There's like a baby settings menu and then the traditional control panel behind it, and they do not mesh well and there are just tons of bugs, especially with the power options. The battery life was abysmal.. I was getting about 2 or 3 hours of use. I spent hours disabling services and messing around with Throttlestop to undervolt it and that helped the battery a bit, but it was still pretty awful if you want to use it at full speed. I also wanted to dual boot linux and I wasn't able to do it properly, as the 7 is too new to really be supported. And there's no gallery app of any kind for Windows comparable to something like Quickpic, which just amazes me. Android emulators for Windows don't really work either unless you are purely interested in gaming. There were so many headaches and it wasn't passing as a tablet for me, just an undersized and overpriced laptop.

I sold it and bought a tab S6 with the money left over, and I'm much happier now. I miss the raw processing power and the flexibility of x86 for running full versions of certain programs, but I can do 95% of what I want to do on Android 9, plus many things I couldn't do on the Surface, and it's by far a more pleasurable experience. I haven't had the problems people are talking about.. screen looks great, battery life is great, theres no drain. I used to be hardcore about rooting and removing bloat, ads, etc, but theres no need to with this device, it's pretty perfect out of the box.

I don't have the keyboard and I haven't even tried Dex mode, but for general tablet use, media, and emulating games, the S6 blows away the SP7 in my view.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] dagrim1:
Is it worth the money? Meh...

Is it very good? Hell yeah.

The huge plusses for me are form factor, stylus/writing, android, keyboard cover WITH trackpad, high end tablet.

I DO think it's too expensive, especially with the keyboard cover. But unfortunately there were no real alternatives for me (bought it 4 months ago or so)... Was thinking about the surface pro as well but first, that one is also hella expensive, but I also find it too big for my use. The Tab S6 is such a nice package to take along, very comfortable to write with/on (I use it a LOT for note taking mainly).

Android is a plus because my phone's also android and my experiences with windows laptops is less positive when looking at the battery.

But it's not a full desktop/laptop replacement... Dex does not support 4k so when connected to my monitor it looks bad. Also, some specific apps don't have proper alternatives for me on android (programming, music transcribing). For general tasks as browsing, mailing, documents, even basic work related stuff (terminal work) it is perfectly fine, but just not good enough at everything.

So yeah, it really depends on your use-case. The apps you have issues with on the mediapad will most likely have the same issues on the tab s6. For me the keyboard works just fine (coming from a tab s4, which had more issues) and is a nice option though I use the stylus most of the time. It is fast, lasts quite a bit (no standby issues here as far as I can tell, but it does use a reasonable amount of battery when I actively use it).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Kutusov:
That's that then. It ends up pretty much being my thoughts every time I look at the Surface, I really don't get it... It's a very expensive laptop, maybe with a bit different form factor... But there are more interesting things like the HP Spectre Folio, x360 etc.

Well, I've decided to keep the M5 for a while longer. Was just playing with it in a store and it is definitely better than the M5 but, for my sort of use, I really don't see much of an upgrade there considering how much I would had to spend.

Thanks for your thoughts guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] schoolpizza:
In addition to not really working as a tablet, I was also surprised by how locked down the hardware and UEFI is. It really lacks the customization you would expect from a system running a full PC operating system. Like an Apple product, you can't get the most out of the hardware you paid for.

I spent 800 dollars on the thing and really wanted to like it, but after a few weeks it dawned on me that I'm spending all my time troubleshooting annoying problems and I should just cut my losses and ditch it for the S6. The Surface Pro has power and can manage some technically amazing stuff as a tablet (I was running GTA 4 and 5 on it after a lot of research into optimizing performance) but it's so caveated by the system wide issues, hardware lockdown, and lack of tablet functionality that the extra power didn't mean all that much anymore.

Your M5 may serve you well but I can't recommend the S6 highly enough.. it's a very sleek, handy, and impressive device that is limited only by the lack of Android software development in certain cases...a full desktop-like web browser and a good PS2 emulator being at the top of my wishlist.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Kutusov:
What you wrote made me remember I used to own an HP Spectre 2 in 1 laptop. I could never get the "tablet" mode thing because it behaved nothing like what I would expect from a tablet.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] snoopy-doopy:
Hi everybody,

what do you think is this a real upgrade ?

I'm about buying a OP 7T Pro on eBay, read a lot of threads about WLAN and Bluetooth probs. ....

So wondering if this device is as good as everybody says?
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Kevorex1:
I didn't experience any WLAN and Bluetooth problems, but since you are probably referring to the T-Mobile, I can't answer to that, as I have the Chinese non-5G variant of the 7T Pro McLaren Edition.

About whether buying it or not, I would suggest that you might want to wait for the OnePlus 8 (and 8 Pro) release so that you can get your hands on the latest Snapdragon SoC, along with that long-anticipated stunning 1440p 120Hz screens from Samsung (which are yet to be confirmed if they are compatible of displaying at 1440p and 120Hz at the same time without ditching one another) hardware accelerated real-time motion interpolation for watching videos, so that every youtube videos you watch can be upscaled to 120Hz for ultra smoothness). For now, search up for reviews about Samsung's S20 series. I believe the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro would be quite similar to Samsung S20 and S20+ respectively, except for having lower price tags (of course), better front camera (since Samsung nerfed the S20 and S20+ front camera, so that more people may buy the S20 Ultra), considerably worst camera software (which can be solved by installing ported Gcam), and that OnePlus exclusive motion interpolation technology (which they called MEMC for some reason). The wait may not be long, so I just don't want you to regret about your buying option.

[MENTION=9516365]Kevorex1[/MENTION]

thanks for reply ??? sure you are right and happy to hear that you have no problems ???

Maybe the price drops when the OP8 appears, so that I can buy a McLaren Edition at a lower price. The price on eBay is to high for now!!!
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] champ784:
I'd go ahead and get the OP7T Pro. I may be bias since I'm considered a OnePlus fanboy. But honestly, I love OxygenOS and think you get a ton for your money.

Don't get me wrong, ROG phones are sick. I haven't owned one, just played around with them, so I guess I don't have the full perspective. But OnePlus has always been considered very good by many, and they retain their value pretty well. I almost kept my OP3 for a fourth year and probably could've pulled it off since the dev community is strong for it (despite the hiccups with carrier issues). But if you're willing to play around with it a bit, I think it's well worth your while.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Joe199799:
It's your call if you want to wait for the 8/8pro personally I went for the 7t pro McLaren instead of holding off for the new ones because of leaks are to be believed it's going to have a hole punch display and I'm honestly not a fan of it I can live with a half a generation old SOC and it's already a massive step up from my 6T I had previously.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] champ784:
I'm still baffled that OnePlus would go with the hole punch rather than full display. I know Samsung resonates well with a lot of consumers, and maybe they're trying to go for that same look I just think they are pandering a bit unfortunately.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Joe199799:
Nope they go off the design of the previous oppo phone that released if I'm not mistaken as oppo and OnePlus are subsidiaries of a bigger company (BBK electronics?) If I'm also not mistaken the base for the 7pro and 7T pro is the Oppo (edit: a mix of the vivo nex s and find x my apologies) and OnePlus just went with that. It's also been theorized why they ditched the headphone jack on the 6T because it was based off an Oppo phone that had also ditched the headphone jack. If I had to guess the Oppo Reno 3 might be the base design for the 8 and 8pro and OnePlus will work with that.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] champ784:
I guess that makes sense. Considering OnePlus. I forgot that Oppo make it possible for OnePlus to have less expensive devices by using existing chassis and designs. Still... Kinda frustrating. But I guess there's only so much you can do when Oppo copies other companies' designs. But you're right. Can't blame OnePlus for that.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Joe199799:
Hey if they can make a pretty dope phone and undercut Samsung flagships by a couple of hundred dollars resusing an oppom phone as a chasis I'll take it
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] knpk13:
Pretty sure most 2020 flagship designs are being influenced by Qualcomm's decision to not integrate the modem in the SD865 and basically force 5G since the X55 is the only compatible external modem (even if you only want 4G). Means a ton of extra space needed for 5G antennae and modem (that most people won't use) so you don't have space for a mechanical pop up camera, and increased battery usage. Which is why I got the 7T pro instead of any 2020 phone. And yes BBK electronics owns multiple Chinese companies that share resources, so the phones often look pretty similar. All the same supply chain and components. Very few companies can actually make phones in other ways, like the Purism Librem 5.

I'm still considering returning the 7T Pro and using my old 3T. The curved edges are really annoying.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] champ784:
I'm not a huge fan of the curved glass either. But I love every other aspect of my phone. I'd traded my OP3 in for the 6T at T-Mobile since they had a super deal going for it at the time. And from there, I became a sucker for the 7 Pro and then 7T Pro ??

What's up all I'm on Android pie stock rooted and I want to change the font on the notification clock.

I'd like to figure out how to do it by actually changing the files in the system folder not I downloading an app.

I use system UI tuner but I have to move it back to the middle each time and that is not able to change the font or make it bold which is what I want to do.

if someone could point me towards the file I assume in the framework folder I could do some research and make some changes and see what happens after I do a complete backup of course LOL.

Hi all as you can see form the title im new and would like to flash my wing, I just got a bricked wing, replaced LCD and its working now but slow as hell Ive already clocked it to 247 would not go any higher screen would flicker, now i want to flash in hopes that i can clock it higher, Ive been reading this guide

A Herald's Guide to Flashing Aserg, USPL and HARD-SPL need a few answers on things that I'm not to clear on, What is SPL, and how can i find out if i have 4.0 or higher. and can i put any NBH OS file in that RUU folder, and the only program i need to flash is ActiveSync, sound very easy compared to Moto phones.

and one last thing is there any other flashing tutorials out there what i can read up on before i do my first flash,

any help would be greatly appreciated
[Wing, P4350 General] fzzyrn:
you should use USPL or HardSPL to flash. SPL contains the cid lock and other stuff. USPL temporarily bypasses the lock and HardSPL overwrites it.

you can put any .nbh in the ruu as long as it's specifically made for herald.

to check your spl version, go into bootloader by soft resetting while holding the camera key.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] nakulp:
It's locked & on stock right?

That eliminates any wrong user settings for the lmk.

For it to be killed in this way either that app or some other installed app is triggering the lmk in a faulty manner & probably causing an "out of memory" event.

Can you try to install this app "RAM Truth" on playstore?

1)Before running your app just check the values under free ram.(Available)

2) Then run your apps as usual , switch to Ram truth once & note down the value again.

3)If your apps crash when running do immediately open the ram app &check the free ram status.

If it shows slightly higher than even the first time you'd checked (step 1) - that would point to an out of memory error which is abnormal & shouldn't be happening.

Why is your Swap 0, it should be about 2500MB on stock ROM? Something is wrong there. I think you should do factory reset without restoring anything(clean start).
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] nakulp:
No it's not a problem.

Zram & swap are useless on modern Android's with 4/6/8/12GB RAM & just slow down stuff.

ZRAm is helpful only on devices with 512MB or 1GB ram like some ultrabudget androids.

I've manually disabled it using a Magisk module.
