Hi
I am researching about this tablet (galaxy tab s 10.5). What problems have you experienced? or what big common problems the community has with it?
From now I know:
1. lag (a lot of people, with some apps)
2. battery (just a few)
anything else? how about the memory issues or any other thing?
thanks
Indeed lag in chrome. And also that some apps or games may not work due to the 2k screen resolution ( not a lot)

If you are rooted, look at my stock rom, almost all lags are gone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/prerooted-stock-touchwiz-rom-t2973107
1. Lag in apps like chrome (only some).
2. Aura screen defect ( when screens have greenish color on black image.)
3. Bump in on back cover(seems to be fixed on new models)
4. Overheating near camera( when playing large apps).
5. SD read and write problems(kitkat issues. Can be fixed by rooting)
6. Touchwiz launcher lag. ( can be fixed by debloating and installing nova launcher)
7. Latest twrp recovery bootloop. ( crashes and bootloops when restoring rom . Version 8.3.1.0 or some sort.
System UI crashes when casting to chromecast
I didnt knew at all about the Aura screen defect. I read the opposit, that everything about the screen is really good and black is really black

Some batches of tablets had messed up amoled screens. If it doesn't show complete black on a black image then that's how you know. Only happens to a few numbers of amoled tablets/phones.

This was fixed in newer firmware.
The only issue is typical Samsung running too much software all the time and just needs to be tweaked accordingly.

I bought two and they both have the non uniformity problem. Either I'm unlucky or it's more than a few.
the lag in chrome is due to java script. Disable it, lag is gone.

Unfortunaately this update doesnt seem to have been released in the UK yet.
I check for updates every single day. But nothing.
Even the samMobile website does not show a UK version of the latest firmware.
and how you can check fastly about the non uniformity problem with black??
I mean, if you go to a shop, how you can check it easyly before buying? just take a pic in black and watch it?
or there is any other way to check it maybe with the serial number or something? so you can buy on the internet

Taking a picture in full black can do it and see if there are any other colors that is not black. I got mine from Walmart online and no problems so far. If you buy it in store from bestbuy, you should open the box and check first.

Yeah that depends on the launcher you use. I use go launcher and do not have this issue when putting it in portrait. Only touchwiz launcher and a few more do?

Open anything is black or dark grey and ask the shop that have store room, close all light and check inside.
^^^ it'll not show on black because all the pixels just turn off. You need a dark gray screen.
I don't see how you can check it in the store. Looking at the demo unit will tell you nothing definitively. Also, I don't think it's reasonable to ask a department store to turn off the lights for you You just have to find a store with decent return policy.

which firmware my 10.5lte still crashes when i pull down the notification panel?
I have none of those problems, like lag in Chrome (my Chrome is the snappiest of browsers, so smooth) or battery (battery is just damn amazing, 12h SoT watching videos).
But, my bluetooth stopped working randomly. Like, it won't ever turn on again, not even in safe mode. The icon becomes dark green for a couple seconds, then it gets grayed again.
I saw someone else with the same tablet having the same issue, but that's about it, no one else.
My one big gripe, and this really is more about Android than the S 10.5, is that there isn't ONE definitive web browser that does it ALL. It also seems that when I DO find a decent browser it's not very long before someone changes their forum software or the web page coding and then it just won't work as well or at all. I have actually given up trying to post on some forums with any Android web browser. They all now seem to have one problem or another with forum editors used for posting. Maybe, somehow Lollipop will fix this. Kinda doubt it though.
Hey everyone,
So I've been trying to "modernize" my phone, since I'm under the impression that I can get another 2-3 years out of it. So far I have:
-Running 7.1.1 stock rooted w/Franco kernel
-Hacked to include Pixel launcher (works great)
-Hacked to include Assistant (works great)
-Hacked to run Daydream (works great(ish)) -These tutorials are all available online and are pretty simple if you kinda know what you're doing
I bought a Daydream headset and have been playing with the apps. Some seem to work fine, and some won't run, some won't install. This seems like pretty fresh territory, so I haven't found much help online.
I know our phone supposedly doesn't meet the intended hardware specs (thermal characteristics, and GPU speed?), but it sure seems capable enough to me.
-Home screen and remote - works no problem.
-Playstore - works no problem.
-Netflix VR - works no problem.
-Arts & Culture - works no problem.
-Asteroids - This is pretty awesome. It's a demo of an animated episode (not the old game). It has 3D sound, which I wasn't expecting since the Netflix VR app didn't have it.
-Youtube VR - won't install (sideload). A little research, and it sounds like this app won't run on our phone's architecture. As far as I know, I can't force it to run. I'm very interested in getting this to work though.
-NextVR - Launches to blank screen.
-Hello Mars - works no problem. Lacking content it seems.
-JauntVR - works no problem.
-Littlestar - opens to non-side-by-side screen.
-InceptionVR - opens to non-side-by-side screen.
-Etc.. haven't tried very many yet.
For some of these, I wonder... I have my phone "posing" as a Pixel XL. I wonder if it would make a difference if I changed it to Pixel regular instead.
Anyhow, there must be others out there who are interested in exploring Daydream on our Nexus 6. Please share your experiences/expertise or point to relevant threads I may have missed!
Unfortunately I am in the same situation as you are, but I am just as interested in getting it resolved. The Daydream UI and the apps that are working actually work very well. What I found is the apps that are opening single screen are doing so because of our device info. I can go into the build.prop and edit the ro.product.device to marlin instead of shamu the app will open in a side by side screen. The only problem is that my phone reboots after running for a few minutes (even if I am not in daydream). I emailed the app developer of "AFFECTED:The Manor" and he said they will adjust the app requirements in their next update, but we can't expect everyone to be so helpful. We need to come up with a way to edit the build.prop info without causing rebooting. Keep me posted and I will do the same ...
Very cool, glad I'm not alone here.
I did notice that Netflix seemed to have picked out that my device was a Shamu, but luckily at least that app doesn't care.
FYI it looks like a bunch more apps just got added to the in-Daydream app-store. Going to try a few of those, and also trying to get google photos working.
Having trouble with Google Pictures in daydream. I get a message saying there is no daydream content for this app. I tried the same build.prop mod you mentioned, and it did not help with that app. I can confirm it did fix the others which didn't previously work. It threw off my kernel though, so I set it back to Shamu. I didn't experience reboots, but I had it set that way for about 10 minutes only.
Guys remember that there is a reason the nexus 6 didnt make the cut. One of the main reasons being that it wont be getting the vulcan drivers that daydream will need. By forcing it you could damage your device beyond repair. Its a high risk for something that will most likely die out over the next few years.

Yes good point. I personally am prepared for the worst, but yeah, disclaimer to others...
I was able to get it to work in safe mode.. But after rebooting I was still logged in but it's like the touch screen is dead and when I move my phone the picture jitters

That is going to be the key to getting those apps working, it is pulling info from the build.prop to verify it should run in the dual screen mode. I just can't figure out how to make the edit and have my device run correctly. I noticed when I changed shamu to marlin even some of my apps updated (like camera) to the pixel camera, but it is supposed to run on 64 bit system so it crashed. I think the change will have to take place on the app side, which is unfortunate.

Yea, I had tried all combinations one at a time and all at once and my device would always reboot. I found during the trial and error that only the ro.product.device was what the app was reading, but could not stop the rebooting.
Hello everyone, I created this thread to help anyone that wants to update the camera app version through apk,
Thanks to an user from this forum I found it, camera version 305 to 312, if you have a newer version of this camera's app you can contribute with this thread sharing the new release, thanks
Enjoy https://mega.nz/#!JRIzHCiR!NJNfCfI5_IJ418EWO0kNQrI7UyJ8mrcEOw_l3uLcaxM
Thanks big time!
just need to know should i need to place the other arm folder somewhere or not as i cant find the document scan option within the camera app after updating and it says in the more tab that its already downloaded
That's happened in my camera app too, maybe you can try to move the add-ons from /data/camera folder I didnt try for now,

Can anyone please tell me what's the difference between the current ( EMUI 9.1) camera version and this one? Does it offer 50x zo etc?
Only 10x zoom max with last fw. Apparently they only let the same camera do 30x zoom on the Mate 20 series. Probably artificial limitation to make the newer phone more appealing...
Someone knows what's more in the version 9.1.0.319 and 9.1.0.323
I'm in 9.1.328 os version and I have the 318 camera version.
Sent from my CLT-L29 using Tapatalk
Need to tell you all I`ve got CLT-L29 with 9.1.0.328 - and the camera got Terrible! Night-mode is atrocious, and day-time shooting worsened. Night mode now makes flat, ugly, no-life-basic photos (doesn`t matter if vivid or whatever colour mode is used), day-time pictures are dark, with worse dynamic range then before. I tried everything to go back to previous version - not possible in my experience. If anyone succeeded in downgrading the camera app version, or installing an older one, PLEASE let me know how. My phone is not rooted - cant find a way to unlock the bootloader. (I read about a possible way with disassembling the phone, but I wouldn`t do that to it).
Cheers,
P.S. - If you have a P20 Pro with older android version - do not update! - it will destroy your camera (basically the only thing you bought the phone for).
I have no issue with 328 firmware emui 9.1 and the cam, how I am in 345 firmware with a new version of camera app, working fine, you can make a factory reset or simply reset the camera app settings

You haven`t noticed. They made it gradually worse - with 8.1 it was so much better in regards of color depth, dynamic range, contrast setting, night mode contrast, light sensitivity - everything, by the time they made 9.1... it is nothing of the kind. BTW this issue is noted, A1 representative I spoke to, said Huawei were "aware" of the night-mode problem, and "wold fix it" in the next generation of updates. But I as a very keen photo-maniac, who bought this phone precisely for the camera, noticed it getting worse by every update, so I don`t truly believe they will fix it. When with 8.1 p20pro was hands down the low-light monster and had outstanding color depth, which the p30pro couldn`t reach because it lacks the monochrome camera (same goes for the nigh-mode). So even if they do something about the night-mode in future updates, for it would be made so that the camera will be smudged to produce p30pro-like (but blurrier) photos.
Otherwise - I made factory reset, probably 10 times since then, even found a way to delete the camera app with adb run tool, installed the latest version from apk-mirror - still the same (of course). Then I factory reset the phone again and again and again...
So please, when citing me, please cite me only if you found a way to answer my query and you personally managed to install a workingly-run 8.1 camera version, please. Thank you so much for your understanding and willingness to help!
Cheers!
My camera is ok too. I use night mode even during the day, sometimes, for the dramatic effect.

Interesting. What is your p20p model: C432 or C7..?
I answer you in the right way with the typical issues with the software and the cam, I don't care how many times you made factory reset, I see improvements in the cam with emui9.1, maybe your cam or phone is damage, or whatever,

Hi simple question is there anyway to force dark/black mode across the board including gmail whats app etc. I am on miui 10 eu and there is a dark mode for system apps etc but not everything is dark.
For other apps we have to wait to get in the trend. Gmail I believe is on the way to get dark mode. It depends on the developers.
No it's not possible right now. Wait for Android 10 for system wide dark node.

I'm already on Android miui 10.
Miui 10 is the version of miui. The current Android ver is 9.
I see well it is a bit confusing they should keep in line with the Android build and name the skin accordingly. Anyhow I did see a video somewhere on YouTube where the person used a setting to theme everything into black including the apps but I can't find it anymore.

(Was away from home, so wanted not to take any 'risks')
Now installed, went trouble-free in 20 maybe 30 minutes. Only few changes here and there (graphics for battery usage, camera, navigation bar gestures). Used Nova Launcher before, now I'm gonna give the OneUI a spin for a while. Screen can accept 5x6 icons (plus bottom row), I don't remeber if that is increased, but was used to 5x7 with Nova.
Saw one (A50) v.10 review on youtube that claimed increased performance in bechmarks, so tried that. Could not confirm any increase with PCMark.

- when taking a screenshot, you get an option to scroll down one or more times, then the screens below get collage'd on, to one long image. That's actually quite clever..
Oh, and one negative : Seems I have now a more or less permanent notification "Samsung account. To continue using services securely, sign in again." Dismiss and it will return shortly. Quite annoying, but googling seems to confirm no solution atm. Hope they decide to remove it later on....

I confirm that A40 outputs audio through USB C no problem (android 10). Using with dac/amp Topping NX4 DSD. I write this because I have read all over net that this does not work, but the gamble paid
Ah that sucks.
You could disable the notificatuo for it tap&hold but its still bad if you want to keep it neat
I'm still waiting for update...
I have installed Android 10 update, and I have noticed now the front camera only shoots in maximum 16MP mode.On Android 9 you could shoot with maximum 25MP mode ,why did they limit something which was already working.Also if anyone is still on Android 9 it would be helpful to know which version of Samsung Camera is on Android 9?
Android 10 version is installed in my phone.
In summary, One UI 2.0 with better Dark Mode support and full gestures that remember me to MIUI implementation.
Battery drops earlier, surely due to new ROM installed and I've to wait for ROM stabilize.

Looks like everyone have update installed except me. I see that it should be already pushed to my phone by the end of May. My girl have the same model and she is happy Android 10 user from beginning of May. Any ideas how to force update or check why it not showing in update section? I already cleared cache for google play services and google framework service and still no update
