Why Lollipop different on tab s vs note 4? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I recently received lollipop on both the Galaxy tab s and my Verizon note 4.
On my note 4- THANKFULLY we now get the red underline for misspelled words! FINALLY.
However- I do not see it on the tab s!?? is there a setting to activate it that I'm missing? or does no one have it on wifi tab s

The Tab S 10 apparently has gotten the update. I suspect there are hardware differences between the 8.4 and the 10, and there is definitely hardware differences in the Note 4.
To the best of my knowledge there are no settings to change. You can check for updates by going to settings>about device I think it is.

[Q] Screen capacity - more like smartphone or tablet?

Hello, I own Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note 8.0, but I'm considering getting Note 2 instead of those two I got. Just wondering what is the screen difference between those devices? Some websites appear differently on S2 and Note 8 using mobile agent on both browsers. Even wh3n they are the same there is a lot more stuff on Note 8's screen.
My question is what is Note 2 closer to: S2 or Note 8? Is it huge phone or small tablet? Of course considering what's appearing on screen and hum much is it.

Note 2 is close to a tablet but still a phone. So for me it is at the edge. However, you can not compare it with a S2 it is much bigger and I think it is a great alternative to these 2 devices. Because the S2 is too small as a phone and a 8" is too small as a tablet for me as well. Tablet should be at least 9,7"

Note 8.0 V2?

Does anyone know if Samsung is looking to update the note 8? I know the tab pros just came out but I haven't seen any mention of a note refresh. The tab pro 8.4 looks nice but I just got the note 3 and I love the s-pen so if I was getting a tab, I would want that functionality and the 10.1 is just too big for me.
I don't know.. it seems to me that Samsung has pushed the Tab 8.0 to the point of overshadowing the Note 8.0 in the market. Plus that the Note 8.0 was overly priced over the two.
Because 9.0 is what peeps seem to be happy with for mid sized tablets. Samsung may just drop the Note 8.0 and live with 10.1 design and carry over 8.0 to just Tabs.
Oh well, between the 8 & 10.1/14, the 8 is my most used.

[Q] Run Galaxy Note OS on my Galaxy Tab S

Hello a few weeks ago I met someone with a Galaxy Note 2 who was running a custom OS on his phone that gave him Note 3 capabilties which made me wonder, can I run a Note tablet OS on my Galaxy Tab S and buy an S Pen that will allow me to use features like Air Command & S Note?
If so, I'd like to know how. Thanks in advance.
Won't work. You can't run a note ROM on a tab S and the tab S screen isn't capable of reading an S pen.
I remember seeing some S pen stuff in the list of installed apks in the stock ROM. I suspect they all use more it less the same software. If the hardware isn't there, it is left unused.
Similarly, you see some phone stuff in the Wi-Fi version. Doesn't mean you can make calls.

Any word on official lollipop update?

Back in the fall, I think it was expected we'd get it in February. Any new word?
My guessing is somewhere this year. I own a tab s and reports from sammobile say that the Tab s gets it somewhere in the spring. Im not sure about the tab pros though
Any such predictions are pure speculation and are pointless. Make up what ever date you want. It will be no more or less accurate than any other random XDA member.
Today samsung show lollipop on galaxy tab s (8.4 and 10.1) running 5.0.2 . So we know know the modification of touchwiz for lollipop tablets its almost finished . I suppouse it was easier to bring lollipop for smartphones and also tjey are their most important product so its easy to see why tjey wanted to update them before tablets.

I can only hope the pro models are included, considering their specs and general "newness".

Personally I can't see any Lollipop 5.0 version coming to the Tab Pro soon, Samsung have been rolling out T320XXU1BNI1 for 6 months now which is 4.4.2 update.
As this is still being rolled out then this will delay any 5.0 version coming to the Tab Pro, why spend time and resources rolling out an update to 4.4.2 if you intended to roll out 5.0.
Be nice if 5.0 did come to the Tab Pro but if it is, don't think its going to be very soon if at all.
Samsung Live Updates
they are. The tablets will receive lollipop are the 3 tab pro , the 3 tab s and the note 10.1 (2014) . Of course they have priorities but we can always wait for a port to use in the midtime

I probably read similar articles as you but I think that they tended to say Note Pro, Tab S and Galaxy Note 2014, as getting it but any other Tabs are unlikely, whatever does happen is out of our control anyway all we can do is wait and see what Samsung do.
if we dont get official we can hope someone port those lollipop roms to tabs pro (like it was done to give touchwiz kitkat to the s3 or lollipop to the s4 using a note 3 rom)
spoke with Samsung rep..
I spoke with a Samsung tech 2 weeks ago and she told me the Tab S will be getting the upgrade in the spring an tab pro was not on the update list yet...but probably would get it..

Worth the swap?

Ok. So I'm on my 3rd warranty replacement of my nexus 9 and 5.1.1 killed my lcd. Only works when you hands on the screen. It's through tmobile so I've been offered the option to swap the nexus 9 for another tablet. The options aren't that wide. I'm limited to a Ipad (have a mini and I don't want another ipad) galaxy tab s 10.5, the tab 4, and the LG gpad f. I honestly am Leaning towards the tab s 10.5. I know there's a new one on the horizon but I have to decide today so I'm asking you guys. Tab s 10.5 or no?

If thoses are your only options.. which one of the Tab S? Because if your getting a carrier branded Tmobile model then you arent going to see any good roms of the Tmobile Tab S. If you are just getting a wifi only Tab S then go for it! Tab 4 kinda sucks.. its a budget tablet. As for the Lg gpad im not sure. If your not worried about custom roms and such if its a Tmobile Tab S , give the Tab S a try. Screen is great!

It is the carrier model. I didn't root my nexus 9 hence why I giving up on it. I may root the tab s once I get it. When you say no good roms is the support bad like the galaxy s6?

Like 1 rom... you can install international roms but youll lose LTE/3g or what ever. So that means youll only be able to use wifi if you install international roms.
