hi guys new to the forum ..im thinking of getting the note 12.2 and need to get an answer fairly quick as I need it soon..ive got the choice between the lte snapdragon and exynos..my main use of the tablet is sketching and painting..artrage has just been released for android so im fairly happy ..my partner has a note 3 neo and tried artrage and it wasn't bad ,but it had lag a lot of lag...out of the snap and exynos which would be better for my kind of use...if I go for wifi I can imagine easier to root than the lte....any help really appreciated
Snapdragon is more powerful, that's a given fact. The Exynos (p900) and the AT&T LTE (Only the AT&T, not the rest) versions also have serious blackscreen, screenflickering, reboot and bluescreen issues.
I never new about so many problems..so what version would you say to get ..im unsure what to do now..
I made the same consideration when I got mine. Given all the problems, and the fact that I needed a powerful tablet for my uses, I went with a P905 (the international LTE version) because it's more powerful and more stable.
If you can spare the extra cash, the LTE edition (Provided it's not the AT&T one) is the best option.
thx for the info..so p905 ill look for ..do the lte versions get the latest updates like the wifi ones..thats what Im worried about and also is it true they cant be rooted

Latest update for the P905 is from November.
Towelroot works properly on everything but the newest firmware out of the box. To root the newest you may need to temporarily load an older image of the kernel, but some also report success straight away. Or, if you don't care about the KNOX counter, you can use CF Autoroot.

It's a great phone I got mine about 2 weeks ago, wrote up a little article on how to Root and Install GAPPS on there as it's does;t have it. Other then that has been good on Battery and hasn't done any random reboots or other Chinese Phone things.

Have Fun.
Can anyone verify it really has all those 3G bands? If it does, this phone is amazing for the price.
Yes. All those 3 G plus 4 G. I've got confirmation that mine as been shipped yesterday, but as it comes from China it will take 15 days more or less to arrive.

Thanks. I ordered one today. DHL is supposed to get it to me in 2-7 days. I hope it's closer to 2. :fingers-crossed: I want to take it on my 10 day bike ride as a replacement for both my older MTK based phone (with a terrible GPS pickup) and my tablet. One device will simplify things.
I have used it on UMTS, GPRS, 3G, HSDPA and 4G all works perfectly fine, best speed I got in a semi-rural area in Australia 4G was 22mbs down and 12mb upload. The phone has been great so far.
Cheers

ZTE Nubia V5 MAX and huawei honor 6 mobile phone which one is better?

There in a different league price wise I would say as you can get the ZTE for around $199, but if you require NFC and Infrared then maybe it's worth it?
You can buy a infrared insert for the ZTE which has a custom app for it on the phone already.

For the average user considering price and specks? Definitely ZTE, even if you are an experienced user, infrared and NFC wont pay the price difference between these phones I guess.
But then again my opinion may be a bit suspicious as I´m still waiting for mine and could lead me to induce you...

Thank you for the suggestion, I will look at some relevant information.
ZTE V5 Max and Huawei Honor 6, huge price difference. Both are pretty wonderful. But in order to be more cost-effective. I will go with ZTE V5 Max

My phone has arrived! Even though the order was to be cancelled, it was sent anyway and arrived just today.
My first impression is that this phone is huge! I'm upgrading from a 4 inch screen, and this is so much bigger. In hindsight, I think 5 inches would be sufficient. But this big screen is very nice to use, especially for someone like me with larger hands.
I'm slightly confused by the desktop's lack of an app drawer. I've never used a launcher without it. I think I'll just install Apex launcher, as I'm most used to using that one.
Since I purchased from Etotalk, I went ahead and paid from their "Etotalk mod rom" which took care of root and Google Play Store. However, when I first connected to Wifi, I immediately was notified of a system update. So if I install the update, I'm guessing I'll lose root and Play Store.
Frenchie90, if you see this post, and if you have installed the latest sytem update, can you confirm that your instructions for rooting and installing Play Store are still usable? Anything I should consider/be careful about?
Thanks.

I also received this update and did it prior to rooting the phone so I guess this tutorial was done on the fully updated rom. Not to sure if you will loose your root and Etotalk MOD.

I did go ahead and install the update. It went so fast that I didn't see what it changed. However, I still have root and Play Store, so all seems well.
Three annoying things.
The two dots that represent the menu and back buttons do not light up at all. If I'm on any darker conditions at all, I can't see where to tap.
Also even though I have chosen to have a pattern for my lock screen, it still makes me first swipe up from the bottom of the screen first each time I turn on the phone. Any lockscreen system should bypass that up swipe, and not require the user to do both.
Finally, the boot screen with all the collage of pictures is simply overkill. I'd like some way to avoid those altogether. Maybe there is a way to simplify the whole boot screen process.
i have a question , ZTE V5 is V5 max?
No. V5 is other processor. This one is a x64 processor from Qualcom.

Can any one that already have this phone confirm that the latest update from Nubia is multi language? Thanks in advance.
Enviado do meu GT99 através de Tapatalk
I have seen that there is a new update in the last couple of days. I have not installed it, because I am on a trip, and if anything goes wrong with my phone, I'm not sure I can solve it.
There are two warnings from ZTE on the update instructions page. One is to do a backup. The other seems to warn that root should be disabled. That I can't do at the moment.
So if anyone else who has root is able to apply this latest update, please let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
ok , i see,,,, thanks
I'm also very interested in any possible problems with root. And whether or not the rom is multilanguage (or at least has English).
Apart from the OTA ROM there are also these (removes extra spaces if you wanna go there): www . muzisoft . com/zte/v5max/
But that page is all in Chinese, and I don't speak it.
I would be more willing to poke around and try these roms myself, if I had some surefire way of backing up my current rom and restoring it. I currently have a Chinese CWM recovery, which means I can't find my way around it... Any tips would be appreciated.

I was wondering about z5....but so many people are compaling about that device. And I have had a z5 in my hand, and it took awfull photos (low light). I was breaking my s6's back panel, BUT I re purchased the s6 yesterday again. I have tried the 6.0 with it, and looks promising ( I love the manual camera shutter sped control).
come back. this is a cheap device already, ($300-350), and there is non better on the market what have this huge amount of features like s6 (with 6.0 )
Why would you go back to a device where your main issue is the OS? That's just wierd.
Get a Nexus if you want AOSP.
The CM13 you are referring to in your OP is a TEST build and should NOT be used as a daily driver. Bugs, things are broken / not working.
Sounds like you might wanna research some other phones / brands before jumping back to a device your not comfortable with IMO.

im asking what about new firmwares, have them fix major galaxy s6 issues like ram management?
Samsung will release the gs6' sourcecode after the marshmallow release. This will make the custom rom community much more effective. Looking forward
Edit @renolzSry: I meant kernel sourcecode

This is not a development thread for this Great Tab... this is merely a Q&A for everyone that wants to be involved and share their experience with the Tablet. I personally concider this tab one of the best on the market at its price point and beyond. The reason I've decided to open this thread is the fact that not much info floating around for this device so everything I've done from rooting it, installing custom recovery, installing xposed framework (which took me few attempts to find the right files), partial port of the Theme Store (couldn't find one so used Theme Store apk from my S6Edge+) and tweaking build.prop file to get the best result possible wasn't exhausting but not as fast as to find any of the mentioned for other Samsung devices. So welcome to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 T715 on MM world!!!
In no way I'm a developer but consider myself an advanced user and maybe even a Themer (beginner). At first I thought of making my first TouchWiz Custom ROM for this tab based on the latest MM update but to be honest I don't have time for it but I can definitely improve your User Experience by suggesting few things since there is no custom roms for our Tab (for those that prefer TouchWiz and not CyanogenMod). I guarantee that even odexed it can be customized, tweaked and purely made great.
Talk about Screen on time, Stanby time, Xposed, Recovery, Root, Your opinion, Your thoughts, Your ideas.
Welcome!!!

There is no full Theme Store port but you can have Icons, Wallpaper, Folder image and it's bg applied.

Too bad there is no real TouchWiz development for this great Tab. if anyone hears anything, plz let me know. but at this point I'm completely satisfied with the tweaks I applied. Stanby is great, SOT is great, customized it and enjoying it very much... fast, fluid, stable!

yes, i found it after I started this one.

Sent from Galaxy Beast Tab S2 aka Hitman
so can you point me to a great TW MM rom for tab s2 T715 ?! following the link I don't see any. 2 roms, one abandoned, the other don't seem stable. I'm running odexed, rooted, busy box, xposed, theme store partially ported, with build.prop edited. did it all without the link you provided, just from the info gathered over the years. no issues whatsoever, great battery, fast, smooth, but thanx for the info. (and thanx for your input in development for this tab).
