Nougat - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When is Nougat coming to these tablets?
I have a SM-T800
It's not like it's very old. Samsung needs to support these devices better.

Samsung provided roughly two years of updates for the 2014 Tab S, which included two major version changes. That's, sadly, the most you can expect from any Android vendor. Somebody just reported that Galaxy Tab A just got a Nougat update, and the Tab S is certainly more capable than those Tab A models, but what makes the difference is that Samsung is selling effectively the same old Tab A all those years, so it's still their current low end model.
Fortunately, there is still Lineage OS which runs on our tablets.

It's my wife's tablet & don't feel like messing with root. Just want any official update.
I think the last update it got was November 2016
Thanks for the info.

[Q] Tab S 4.4.4 update

Hi guys, Samsung are rolling out Android 4.4.4 to their mobile devices. But I have not seen any reports of that update for our Tab S or even the Tab Pro. Any news on this?
And what specific changes did Samsung add to Touch-wiz in this update (to the devices it's been released on).
Thanks
A new Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.4 KitKat update is hitting the phone to solve problems and also to prepare it for the upcoming Voice over LTE technology.
The Android Kitkat updates have been hitting the phones of major carriers but the last several either caused new bugs or didn’t solve all of them, prompting the 4.4.4.
“One of the devices that’s in the midst of an Android 4.4.4 KitKat update push is the Samsung Galaxy S5. Just about a week ago, the Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.4 KitKat update hit the Verizon Galaxy S5. The update was a bit of a surprise given how slow Verizon typically is to Android updates. The update’s change log was never publicized though there’s chatter about it fixing a Bluetooth issue. Today though, Verizon is rolling out a bunch larger Android 4.4.4 KitKat build,” according to Gotta Be Mobile.
The new update includes fixing the problem of an incorrect number of unread emails on the notification screen, and audio of the Bluetooth headset, and a camera shutters sound issue.
More tracking features have also been added to the S-Health, including Weight, Sleep, Stress, and Coach.
The update also includes tech that prepares the device for the upcoming VoLTE technology, which enables calls to sound better and clearer while having users talk on the phone while being able to use the Internet at the same time.
While Verizon’s S5 is the first model to get the 4.4.4., the other models are expected to receive it soon.
Meanwhile, some variants of the Galaxy S4, Galaxy Tab 3 and Galaxy Tab 4 have been getting the Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware recently.
The latest Google Android build is Android 4.4.4 KitKat, but that is only coming out for the very latest Samsung devices such as the Galaxy Alpha and the Galaxy Note 4–and the Galaxy S5–at present.
In the United States, Sprint are working on releasing the Android 4.4.4 KitKat for the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S5, while T-Mobile could be rolling out the update for the Galaxy S4.
Some United Kingdom carriers and Optus in Australia could also be making the update available for the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S5 LTE-A.
Samsung could eventually release the Android 4.4.4 KitKat update to its other phones, but at present, Samsung users will have to stick with a slightly older Android build.

You're not even serious LOL. the Tab S had only been out 3 months. Samsung has been known to update their devices up to 2 years out from release.

This is their flagship device. I'm very confident we'll see the L Preview and their next iteration of the "L", after that.

Agreed. Looking forward to it.
That was a nice joke
My guess also is that Samsung will skip directly to L for the Tab S. They don't do frequent updates, that's true. So why would they bother with a relatively insignificant interim update?

How is Samsung's update support for its tablets?

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)

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..

[Q] Is this it for software updates to the 8.4?

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

One ui 5 for all note 10

Hi guys.
The Note 10 series is already in quarterly updates except for the lite model.
The reason for this thread is to make a joint request to Samsung to consider that the update to android 13 is not limited only to lite models.
A petition was created for it and all those interested in participating with their signature are welcome.
Thank you very much to all.

LOL, try smacking your head against the wall instead. This has been a constant thing since the dawn of Android.
Samsung WON'T upgrade the Note 10/Plus to Android 13 simply because it will bite into their sales....
They want you to get a shiny new toy, not play with that cruddy old thing you have now, and not supporting newer Android updates with all the nifty new features on your older phone is a way to make you upgrade...

Logically they want you to buy a new model. But why the lite with inferior hardware yes and not the superior ones of the same series?

It was released later.
Yes, it came out later but as one more of the note 10 series. That is the reason for the request. I understand Samsung's update policy but we are not talking about a single model, we are talking about the top-of-the-range family in its day. The stupid trend of releasing 20 models under the same name. Then these things happen and people get angry and rightly so.

Lol, why care? Android 13 might be worse than 12 especially for the Note even if Samsung did do it
I'm still running on Pie on this N975U. Current load is over 2yo, still fast and very stable with minimal maintenance. Security is not an issue... what's not to like?
Upgrades and updates can and do break Samsung's. No plans to touch my firmware as long as it's fulfilling its mission.

I respect your opinion and the decision not to update. It is true that Samsung is not always right with its updates and personally I think that one ui 4.1 and android 12 ruins the phone, it does not run smoothly, it has excessive battery consumption among other failures. But, did you try one ui 5? I'm running the beta on my s21 ultra and I think it's one of the best updates I've tried in years. Without being a final version, the improvement is very remarkable. This is another reason to ask Samsung to update all Note 10 series models. Forget one ui 4.1 and its bad optimization.

I want to emphasize that the only thing that is required is a signature. As written in the petition, it is completely free and donations are not accepted.

Thank you. I've seen Samsung upgrades/updates break phones too many times. Any improvement that could be had by upgrading be marginal at best with my N10+'s and more likely would be detrimental.
I have two N10+'s, one running on 9, the other 10.
That's what they came loaded with. I think the Pie variant is the best of the two. Never used Android 11 or 12 because I have severe doubts about scoped storage. Don't want it.
Be interesting to see a side by side performance test between 9, 10, 11 and 12.
At this point both Samsung and Google Android are completely off the rails. No desirable new flagships from Samsung and Google is still chasing down endless rabbit holes making their OS less functional and the user a slave to cloud apps/storage. Sorry, but I see no point in even trying to reason with either company.
No Sale, they both can just f-f-fade away...
Is potentially possible to get a Custome ROM for SM-N975F like copy 1:1 from Note 20 Ultra Android 13 OUI5.0 .
Maybe creating new upgrade ROM for that phones .
there is a phone called samsung m62.it has the same chip like note 10 plus which is exynos 9825.i think android 13 port can be developed for note 10 plus.they did that with note 9 as it has the same chip as note 10 lite
Is possible to port stock original ROM A13OUI5.0 from Note 20 Ultra, which is almost the same phone without chip and some other parts but have now upgrading and is the same series Note`s .
M62 is Very old and not upgrading to A13.

Hi.
Did you read the petition and the messages? The note 10 lite is the only one that will receive one ui 5. The rest, 10, 10+, 10+ 5g will not be updated. The signatures are few and they increase very slowly and I don't know the date of the update for the lite models although I am sure that when people start to see the great improvement that android 13 and one ui 5 supposes the signatures will increase rapidly.

How about porting from Note 10 A13 to Note 10 Plus ?. It is possible that?.
