MM on the Tab S2 thoughts

[Themetnut]

I can see that game center isn't in the UK rom which kind of sucks. Not sure about battery life just yet because I did a factory reset and I'm installing all of my apps again so the battery is draining fast.

The greatest drawback to having "the latest and greatest" has ALWAYS been that not everything works. So far, Samsung has only released MM for one country each for the 710 and 810. Once MM is released for the majority of models, the devs will start working on improvements. MM won't really be "smooth" for some time to come. So you make your choice. Stick with the older ROMs and have "smooth" or jump to "the latest and greatest" and put up with the glitches. I can guarantee that during the "roll out", Samsung will be paying no attention what-so-ever to complaints about "features" not working.

well in this case there really are not many glitches it's a very stable/smooth MM so far. it's just missing the theme support which all the older versions were missing too...

Don't like the new animation when scrolling through open apps on the recent apps screen ... makes it seem janky.

Apart from that it's smooth as silk.. much better than LP in my opinion.

For those with 5GHz WiFi issues, it is said that if you change the channel on your router to 40 or below, it'll work fine.

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?

the latest version is pretty good... they finally added a dark color. it really gives you more of a stock nexus ui combined with Nova.

I recently picked up the 710 (in usa)...it's still on 5.1.1. Anyone else? Is there something I should be doing./trying? Thanks in advance for any insight.

Same here (Canada, T710).
It used to bug me how slow samsung is about updates but now I've just accepted it (mainly due to the fact that I'm not having issues with 5.1.1).

Same here...I purchased the T-710 a few months ago. It's a great tablet but, I really want to see the update as well.

Just update with this and don't root if you don't want to trigger knox...

I have marshmallow on my galaxy 6 edge plus yet I felt my U.S. version of my tab s2 with lollipop is much faster..I'm not gonna update my tab s2 to marshmallow and just will wait for Android N for another year plus users have lost QHD video recording. .....

The 6.0.1 OTA (finally) arrived today.

 

[Mr.Chippy]

still got 5.0.2 in Norway. ..
Just bought it, and it is really smooth, and I actually like the format.​

Updated my T810 to 6.0.1 (USA ver), I am noticing no issues so far. 5Ghz works fine with no adjustments to the router. The tablet feels more responsive and the apps remain open much longer, they don't reload when you go back to them as much as 5.1.1. Overall it's a good update from what I can tell from using it for 1 day.

Similar Experience on 6.0.1 USA version

I agree with your assessment. I've had 6.0.1 (USA) for close to a week and also have had a similar experience. I also thought the tablet was more responsive. Also no problem with 5Ghz and 2.4 Ghz .

MM updated Samsung Internet browser to v4+ meaning you can install the ad blocking plugin called Crystal:
Crystal link to play store

Samsung Internet browser is a very fast browser that blocks ads!!

yep its much faster than chrome. actually you could side load the samsung browser with lollipop but you would have to use another adblocker plugin since the crystal one requires MM...

After doing the OTA update to Marshmallow, I tested the tablet out and did a factory reset. Last night I couldn't paste a link from Chrome browser into FB messenger app. Kept trying it over and over again and it wouldn't paste the link.

Then I notice contacts glitches with Viber which has never happened to my tablet while running Lollipop.
