MM on the Tab S2 thoughts

[cryptonium]

Since the thread talking about MM being released in Germany is mostly discussing rooting, I thought I'd start another thread to get info on how MM behaves on the Tab S2 and has it been a positive thing.

My Tab S2 (SM-T815) hasn't received it yet so I'm interested in hearing how Marshmallow is working on this tablet.

My experience when it arrived for my S6 was very positive, the phone became so much better so I'm hoping it will be the same for the Tab S2.

Unfortunately the marshmallow is crippled there's no restricted user and can't make sd as a system partition and can't pin favourites and I guess there's more which I didn't notice yet

Cool, hopefully that means the T810 is on it's way too!

But how's the tablet performance after marshmallow? is it better or worse overall?

Performance is much better and snappier battery life is better
But you need to clean install for getting performance
Some games like modern combat 5, Nova stop working after updated to marshmallow these games were working fine in lollipop

I know for certain phones, that stuff can be brought back. It will just take some dev time.

I cant do the update until later today, but I am curious, can anyone confirm if this has system wide themes like other MM Samsung products? Is doze fully functional? How is Netflix?

I'm on marshmallow too. But I'm sad because samsung don't release 64bit software for this tablet. Still 32bit

I recommend you guys try out Samsungs' Good Lock app . It is awesome. Tablet feels like a Nexus.

Where could I find the Doze options?

Don't install this it'll make problem with the tablet ui and it's not optimise for tablets and difficult to uninstall

I have it for a day now and I haven't had any issue so far.

For me it wasn't good system ui was just messed up

 

[jocaboss]

It's still very buggy...

No 5g wifi

Looks like I'll have to wait for the U.S. version. 5g wifi isn't working on the U.K. version and, unfortunately, I need it.
