Finally Galaxy tab S will receive Marshmallow.

[gadzooks64]

I was SHOCKED to hear my custom Hangouts notification go off on my tablet when I could see I had no new conversations going on via my desktop. Wandered over to see what was up with my tablet when I see the notification for the update!?!?!?!?

OMG I was sure we were never going to get another update on the Tab S.

And now I not-so-patiently wait for my 268 apps to optimize.

This will have all be worth it if only for the fix to the stupid touch lights. I want those bad boys off all the time.

Funny how different we all are....I want mine (lights) on all the time.

I'd keep mine on too if they weren't so bright or could be dimmed, but since I can't I keep them off. I don't like being blinded at night.

So I have a question about default application selection.
On lollipop when I play a video I get to choose the player that I want to use and if I want it to make that player the default player for all videos, if I choose no I would get to choose the video player app everytime I wanted to watch a video.

Now on MM it doesn't give me that choice, it automatically stick the last player that I use for video as a default... and I have to go to settings>application and remove the default from whatever video player app was assigned.
Is there a way to deactivate this?

I use different video apps sometime I stream to chromecast using allcast sometimes I watch it on the tablet using mx player or vlc player...

Sadly this is the default behavior for all Samsung devices running Marshmallow.
I saw a lot of people complaining about this, take this article for example: http://www.droid-life.com/2016/03/07/things-i-hate-about-the-galaxy-s7/

As a workaround you could try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appiator.defaultappmanager&hl=en

Not the best solution but better than nothing.

Edit: Here's another option https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aboutmycode.betteropenwith&hl=en

I've been using "better open with" since last night, that did the trick.

So glad we are finally getting MM..
Just a bit of a bummer that we in the States are one of the last to get it..
Oh well.. It will come eventually..

There's an app to control the lights. Can be on, off or adjust on time (no dimming though). Galaxy button lights.

Can you confirm you got marshmallow stock update from Samsung in the U.S. for Galaxy Tab S 10.5?
If so, this is the news we have all been waiting for. Are you wifi model or LTE model?

Thanks for sharing and do let us know how your experience is with updated system.

P.S. How long did the update take?

Stock update on the Tab S 8.4 not the 10. Yes, in the USA. WiFi model.

So far so good. Seems zippier. Best part, more storage left after the update. Gained less than a gig but every but helps.

Thrilled that my phone, S7E, and tablet are on the same version of Android!

Flashed the Swiss 6.0.1 rom from Sammobile, won't boot, samsung logo with series of vibrations like 1.... 1 2 3....... then repeats.

Tried reflashing a few times, can't seem to get into recovery but can get into download mode for odin, any ideas?

Had a search but didn't find anything.

T700 8.4 wifi, latest odin, but tried with older version, swiss 6.0.1 rom.

you need to wipe cache. to enter recovery you should press vol down + home + power button in samsung logo screen then once you see black screen change to volume up button without releasing other fingers until you get into recovery mode. so you can able to wipe cache to pass samsung logo. but remember first boot lasts 10-12 mins, be patient. Good luck and let me know.

When NOT logged in to this site, I see "Galaxy button lights" ...the word "Galaxy" is highlighted like a link to the app you talking about. Clicking it takes you to verizionwireless.com and is on a sale page for a S5.

Is this intended? Or did this page get hijacked? I'm concerned for security reasons.

Is this xda website safe?
Now that I'm logged in, the word "Galaxy" is not highlighted.

I just typed plain text. The app is in the play store (free).

My Nexus 5X phone is nagging me that Android 7 OTA is now available. On the other hand, the Tab S still hasn't gotten the official 6.x OTA. And Samsung still wants people to buy its hardware after this?

Guys, has anyone successfully enabled the navigation bar on official TW MM without having overlay issues?
I tried a bunch of apps that edit build.prop and most of them don't work.
The few that do work, eventually are rendered useless since they trigger the overlay issue.
I prefer holding my t805 in portait mode, so it makes more sense to disable the capacitive buttons and enable the soft bar

I updated my sm t800 a couple days ago. No issues so far. I'm in france

Did you try the New Zealand version? I'm in the U.S. and the New Zealand firmware works great.
