Will Tab S2 8.0 (SM-T710) ever get Android 7.x Nougat? - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I believe that the 9.7" version of the Tab S2 already got its Android 7.x (Nougat) update. Will the 8.0 (SM-T710) version ever get this, too, or has Samsung just abandoned this tablet and we're out of luck?
--Ron

we should get it soon... wasn't aware the 9.7 got it already but after getting it last week on my s7 i want it on my tablet now...

No Tab S2 has gotten the Nougat update yet. It is scheduled for late April or Mid-May. Believing is not knowing.

I don't think it will get N, Samsung usually only provide one GEN update to each devices.
Our S2 already had L>M, so............

Bullsh**

Surprised the t813 wasn't listed on that site

It is - edit the URL to say 813 instead of 810: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-T813

Thanks. I searched but didn't find it. Alas no Nougat update listed

Nougat for T-810 is officially out: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/general/7-0-sm-t810-manual-install-t3585044

Looks like the T710 is getting updated too. https://plus.google.com/+DavidIwantschak/posts/ZkAMV45EpqH

In that case the t813 should definitely get it too!

We should, but the 813 is a Snapdragon based tablet, not Exynos, so the 710 getting it is no guarantee. However, I find it hard to imagine that they would update the older tablet and not the newer one.

5.1.1 in UK

Hi,
Anyone got any news on when we'll see 5.1.1 in the UK,got my s2 9.7 wifi/cellular version from o2 yesterday,was a bit dissapointed to find that i'm stuck on 5.0.2.
Plus ran the stagefright detector and this device is vunerable,get the update pushed samsung for goodness sake.

Good news for us UK users...
I used to be able to update my rooted devices via Kies with the guaranteed 'official' Samsung ROM... ('cos OTAs don't work on rooted phones)
Kies says S2 Tab isn't supported, and to use 'Smart Switch' instead. Does Smart Switch upgrade firmware??
TIA
Anyone else have the 5.1.1 update on the s2 8.0. I'm still stuck on 5.0.2

Is there any way to install 5.1.1 on a S2 bought at France?
Yes, you can simply flash one of the available 5.1.1 versions from other regions.
Will work just fine, and you'll notice no difference.

Yesterday at night I did it. I've used the Canada version but this one it doesn't have the "Mange Apps" in the Smart Manager to Auto-Stop the apps. I wanted that but can't know for sure in which one it's enabled.
Does manually upgrading with ODIN mess up KNOX and the tablet's warranty status? I'm on 5.0.2 as well.

No, official firmware does not trip knox.
Unfortunately for the T815Y there is only 5.0.2, no 5.1.1 released yet...

I haven't had any problems with mine. I have some Samsung apps disabled but I don't think that's the fix. Are you sure yours is T710 and not some other variant? Did your KNOX counter get tripped?

Mine's the T810 which was originally running on UK version 5.0.2. I rooted it, flashed a TWRP recovery and flashed the Canadian 5.1.1 version. KNOX was tripped when rooted.
Oh right. I did a Google search about your problem earlier and found out you have two disable a service or two if the same thing happens on the Samsung S6 Edge . Read the ROOT YOUR PHONE AND UNINSTALL KNOX part.
Any word when the OTA update to Android 5.1.1 is coming for the Galaxy Tab S2 in the UK?
It's out for other countries. I'd rather not have to doing anything unofficial if I can help it, especially when it's been out in other countries for some time now.
Thanks

As I understand it the Android 5.1.1 update from Samsung isn't available in The UK but looks like it is elsewhere. My Tab S2 is still stuck on Android 5.0.2.
I'm waiting for Samsung to release it OTA than installing firmware intended/released for a different market.
Thanks.
The firmware is identical aside from a few apps here and there.
Only the csc is different which doesn't have to be flashed.

New s2 713 but no nougat update available

Can I do anything to get it to see the update? It's running marshmallow and tells me it is up to date. My 710 has the update. This 713 I received only 5 hours ago.
The only update for the t713 is a UK ROM that you have to find and then use ODIN you put it on your device. ROM is on Updato along with a pretty good set of instructions. I got it done on the first try and I am digging the update.

Strange that the t713 has had the nougat update in the UK whilst the t813 hasn't. Or do they differ slightly in hardware?

I believe there are some differences in WiFi bands used in the US vs UK. Not that it won't work, just may not find all the bands.

Under Settings / WiFi go to Advanced and you can set the Region as US. Then you will have 5G available.

Oreo Release Thread

Finally this has arrived for RETGB!
Currently running the install and will let you know how this goes.
Where else has had this released?
Who is still waiting?
What is the verdict, worthwhile keeping at stock or see what good ROMS will come from this?

This is ridiculous. No more Lenovorola from me. Everyone's got Oreo and some phones from other brands have even gone to Pie, but reteu is still behind. Tragic support compared to when it was owned by Google (my XT1032 got updated before the Nexus phones of the time).

Yeah. This is oddly funny. I said no more Motorola after the Atrix fiasco (Android 2.3...... ICS was never released, they promised it... and then the Testing image got leaked.....)
Yet, I've owned another Moto phone, which won't have Android 8.1. But this phone is still good with Nougat. Can't complain.
Got a Nexus 5x from google. New. Turns out it had a hardware failure on all models just a year after the release.
Got a Nexus 4. After a year of usage, just upgraded to Lollipop. Phone started rebooting on its own randomly. Some users have this issue as well.
I don't believe on the manufacturers anymore. My next phone will be a Nokia (and I'll fail for sure)

The Lenovo forums for the 5GS and the 5GS+ are full of VERY annoyed reports on WiFi loss problems after upgrading to 8.1 - so far, these obviously all relate to non-RETEU update channels. Lenovo apparently never officially reacted to these complaints, but several people there seem to have dumped their 5GS/+ phones after the update out of frustration.
So, do those of you who already have updated to 8.1 see any problems with WiFi connections dropping (while connected to a 4G network)? The 'cure' for that seemed to be to disable 4G connections...
What with battery life after the update?
Thanks! Markus68
Can not test this for you, because I have no 4G Network, only 3G.

Help with Firmware

So I bought an N960U and I absolutely love it but it's never gotten an update since I bought it in September so I'm curious as to why it hasn't, what firmware I am, what can I update to and will I lose Samsung pay at all?
I've attached some photos of the software version and such.

Your device is running a version of firmware that was never official for Sprint. That's why you're not getting any updates. Grab SamFirm and download the latest real build. It will be ARJ9 right now.
