<title><![CDATA[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3: Teardown of Galaxy Tab S6?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi Guys,</p>

<p>Is there any chance you can do a teardown of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6? Or does anyone know of any teardowns?  They've made it ridiculously thin and the speakers are freakishly powerful! I have no idea how they do it and Samsung were of little help.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I accidentally wiped my OS from my tablet before making a back up to restore with. Now I cannot access anything on my tablet apart from the initial “Samsung” boot screen. All buttons are functional.</p>

<p>I can currently access TRWP via recovery mode, however am having trouble coming to the point where I can reinstall an OS.</p>

<p>Could anyone guide me on how I could reinstall the OS again?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<title><![CDATA[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3: Why does my tablet crash using Chrome/Internet Explorer?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Every time I load a new webpage the tablet freezes momentarily (about 5-10 seconds) and displays an error message asking if I'd like to 'force close' Chrome or 'wait' or 'send feedback'. This happens 95% of the time opening new tabs or just clicking links from Google.  I normally click 'wait' as it sorts itself out.. eventually... but it's a bit of a ballache. Having paid $600 odd on the flagship tablet from Samsung I kinda expected glitch free browsing.  Any ideas?</p>

<p>Sometimes all the screen work but with lower resolution and sometimes half of it get black-white lines as the picture and the other half looks good.</p>

<p>The touch screen is working good and I am sure this is not a SW or firmware thing.</p>

<p>What could be the reason? any advise would be helpful.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3: Permanent Moisture in Port, Even with no port.]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Had a dead flat tab s3 come in for a charging port replacement, Changed port, textbook job, original port was quite messed up, they had been wiggling the port to get it to charge for a while. It will try to charge and gets 1.4a for about 2-3 seconds then drop to 0.0a and settle on 0.3a left overnight still no difference, when I charge the battery manually and start the tablet I get the moisture in the port message even when there is no cable plugged in and the same without the whole sub-board. Have tried all the tricks I can find online to no avail I am guessing this is a pmic issue and needs to be replaced but I am hoping that someone has come across this issue before and shed a little light on the situation for me.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3: Software randomly restarting at uneven intervals causing a boot loop]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi there recently bought a tab s3 with a known problem and I'm trying to fix it. The problem is that it randomly decides to shut down without any explanation. It can happen while its asleep while doing something. Sometimes it'll repeatedly shut down every min sometimes it'll stay on for 24 hours +. I've tried flashing the latest software using ODIN but it still resets. Some people say that it's a battery issue but I don't believe so as the whole system freezes for around 5 seconds before it shuts down. Thanks for the help :)</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>My Samsung Galaxy tab s3 (model#SM-T820) seems to charge normally. When starting up it gets stuck in the booting up cycle and the icon just spins. The system will advance no further. This is a hand me down so there is no data to save. At this point I can see 3 options: resetting the whole system, using it as a paper weight, or using it as a target the next time I go shooting. Any and all ideas will be GRATEFULLY accepted.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3: Is my LCD flex cable/connector badly damaged?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I dropped my TAB S3 recently and the screen popped out. After having some repairs done on it a bit ago the screen was never in very sturdy. Anyway, it was fine on the ground and the screen still worked. However, while picking it up I accidentally disconnected the ribbon.</p>

<p>As I inspected the area, I noticed a small metal piece was loose on the LCD’s end, near the connector. It was shaped like a staple/square bracket (like this ]). It was made of an unpainted, soft, flexible metal. I’m guessing it came off the ribbon? I’m going to try to get it repaired but I’m trying to figure out what the cost is going to be like.</p>

<p>Is that part off the screen, the ribbon, or… ? Any ideas? It seemed to come from where the ribbon connects to the LCD panel itself if that’s any indication. Thank you for your help!</p>
