Hats off to Samsung for fixing 8 of the 11 issues so quickly. We might not have root with the latest update, but at least we're protected against those security holes.

Samsung Galaxy Tab P8110 (Google Nexus 10) 32 Gb - How to block software updates

Hi There,
I am the owner of an old Samsung Galaxy P8110 (Google Nexus 10), 32gb, Wi-Fi only.
I am not a heavy user, but I am just becoming less and less user since the last software updates (after KitKat), as the tablet is becoming more luggish and slow.
There is the option of rolling back (I can re-upload the firmware that I like more, e.g. the very old 4.1.2. or 4.3), but as soon as the tablet gets hold of a wifi, it automatically download the new software, Lollypop 5.x and installs it at the next reboot.
Is there any chance, mod, third party app to stop the update and make me live happy with an outdated software release ?
Thanks!

NFC on G900A Marshmallow

So up till now I hadn't really tried using NFC on my phone since Android Pay didn't support Chase. For the past month or two I've been trying to get it work without any luck.
These are the things I've tried already,
Turning S-Beam Off, leaving Android Beam On
Tried transferring images with HTC M8 (Android Pay works on this one), didn't work, not even a beep
Wiping Data and Cache, to see if any of the apps might have been causing problems.
I'm starting to think my device hardware might be at fault, but before I jump the gun, is NFC/Android Pay working for any of you guys on latest software?
Device Details
Root: No :crying: (Had root when TM was active, but not since)
Android Version: 6.0.1
Security Patch Level: Oct 1, 2016

No WPS Wifi Push Connect On Android Pie Note 9

Anyone else noticed this. Very annoying.
It may or may not come back

That's true. It doesn't exist any more on Pie for security reasons. Although it was very convenient.

Substratum/3rd party overlay block

I heard some Note 9 devices encountered this just as all the 8s and 10s did. Now I want to know which security update/software version this happened in. This is something that I'll root for if there are no workarounds.
I don't know but I'm on CSC1 right now, which is the latest release (in France at least), and Switch/Substratum works nicely.
