Hi, yesterday, my Tab Pro 8.4 T320 got an update. It is strange, because the support for this tablet has ended a long time ago. For safety reasons I haven't updated yet, because I don't know what is that. It says it's a stability improvements update and is 83MB big, but it's strange, so I just delayed it.
Do you have any information about this? Thanks

Seems like an official update, indeed. You can find a new firmware from mid-april on SamMobile firmware section.

So a rumor about a historically sketchy company when it comes to updates.. Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath for a quick update. If one ever arrives it will likely be months if not half a year. By then, Lollipop 5.1 or 5.2 is probably out and it's already outdated again.
Yeah I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 gt n8013. The official firmware for that is still 4.1.2 there was a big announcement for kit Kat for the note it said "select carrier variants" well that was true. It wasn't a carrier variant and it didn't get selected.

Yeah, I would say there is a reasonable chance of Lollipop, likely after Mallomor has already been announced.

Me too, using touch wiz or my third party launcher I see no difference in anything ...isnt there a folder somewhere showing latest updates / downloads ?
I've been eyeing the Galaxy 10.5 for a while and have been vacillating between it and the Nvidia Shield. Nvidia seems to already have released an update for the Shield as owners of the wifi version got Lollipop for it recently. Meanwhile, it's been said that the 10.5 won't get Lollipop until early next year.
So I'm curious. Has Samsung been known to be proactive about getting updates to their tablets in a timely manner and for at least 2 years from each line's release date?
Thanks in advance!
Well Samsung takes a while to get updates out. Ussally 3-4 months after a release after an new os.
Fwiw we're still on 4.4.2. We'll probably never see 4.4.4' hopefully there'll be lollipop.
Slow
I have the 8.4 inch Samsung galaxy tab S running 4.4.2 and the Galaxy Note 4 running 4.4.4. I don't expect I will receive lollipop for either device in 2014(from what I have researched online) however there appears to be a lot of online developers that assist in bringing forward greater roms and mods for us to use on our devices. You can always use this website to keep in contact with the latest firmware (official) :
live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-T700
You can view on that website ALL official Samsung firmware. For some devices you can even install a firmware for a different region to where your device is located (but make sure to do your homework / research beforehand)
I bought a Tab Pro 8.4 on Black Friday and I haven't received a single OS update since. I'm on 4.4.2 and I actually like my tablet a lot and everything runs well aside from some occasional touchscreen over-sensitivity. Still, I'd at least like to see a 4.4.4 update before they mothball it. Has there been any official word about an upcoming update? I know I can get more recent firmware versions by flashing a ROM but I don't care for CM and I don't want to break the multi-window feature or the Samsung features that sync with my Samsung Smart TV.
Actually, I've got mine rooted and tweaked with Xposed Framework modules so it's just the way I like it. I'm not sure I would install an update when it came out.
There is an update for the 8.4 WiFi only T320 version just released but its only an update to the current 4.4.2, don't know about other 8.4 PRO versions though.
Don't expect this TAB to get 5.0.

Samsung takes a while for updates... I've been waiting months for 5.0 on my tab S. And it's a flagship device!

Agree with that they are slow but they only really do updates in the first 12 - 14 months after that its just minor things never a full rom, my tab was February 2104 so I am really not expecting it to ever get 5.0, the TAB S was released in the summer time so much more likely to get it, its all just hope really.
This extract from techradar says
Samsung doesn't seem great at updating its tablets either. There's a good chance recent slates like its Note Pro and Tab S ranges and even the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 will get Android Lollipop, but anything older or low end is probably not going to happen.
And looking here when you scroll down to the Samsung section there isn't much relating to TABS either

I got an OTA update on Friday on my Tab S 10.5. Was close to 1GB so I had to shuffle stuff to the SD card to install the update. To my positive surprise it was Lolipop. I thought cool, wonder why it is not available on my 8.4 Tab S? Went to XDA hoping to read more about the OTA update, but could only find the thread that non US Lolipop ROMs being released.
Has anyone else gotten their Lolipop OTA and can you point me to the correct thread where I can ask questions about OTA Lolipop on Tab S? As far as I can tell the only difference between my Tab S's beside the size is that one was a Samsung refurb via Groupon and the other was bought retail late last year.
Lollipop has been released for the US Tab S 10.5 but not for the US 8.4.
Some people myself included are using the Korean 8.4 Lollipop on our US Tab S 8.4.
Thank you!
Hi guys!
I'm a very very satisfied user of master gt since like 6 months or so. Very good phone. I still have the previous software I never updated. I think I have the last software before they went through realme ui 3
What is your opinion? Update now or not? Ui 3 is better than 2?
I switch from ui2 to ui3 i dont have any issue its running fine on my phone they both smooth
Thanks. Ok I'm trying it. You feel better with new or older one?
I think ui 3 better for me atleast
I think the same. I updated. Now I've got an issue which I had during calls before one previous update before noooooo
