[mikeyvee]

to fix the samsung galaxy tab S 10.5 or 8.4 with auto restart/rebooting, flickering horizontal lines. you have to RE-SOLDER the battery terminal!

I didn't have to re-solder the connector, but I did see that the plug was not seated all the way thanks to the picture. I pressed the connector down tight and all is right and good with the world again.

I had the same problem for my Samsung tab 10.1, flickering and restarts, I fixed it:
1.- I unplugged all the main cables like charge battery, screen, data cables.
2.- Adjusted and plugged again after of 10 min.
3.- note: remove both side the screen cable and press well after plugg it.
4.- Charge and turn on.

It worked for me, now, the recommendation from fuzzy is good idea to do after that the screen work.

While this may be the solution, it isn't so easily accomplished. Normally a "soldered-in" battery is in fact ultrasonically welded. Using a soldering iron will heat the battery and likely ruin it. It's too bad Samsung is making such junk lately. I was starting to like my Tab S 8.4 -- the form factor is perfect for a tablet.

Say mikeyvee, can you point us to the best method to take these buggers apart and accomplish what what you did? Video maybe?
Thanks.

I had this same problem, too, with a 2 year old table and tried everything on the internet I could find.
Thinking it was a battery problem, I took it to a local we-fix-it place and that was not it.

Eventually went through Samsung to get it fixed (out of warrenty, $218 max on fixing it.)
Shipped it to them (price included). They returned it "fixed" saying it was a loose batter cable. It was not as the "reboot" happend right out of the box.
Now that it was "fixed", it was under a short-term warrenty. Promptly called them, got it sent back, included a detailed note not to "trust their quality control team as the reboot problem could go along time and not happen and need, sometimes, to run a few programs to see it happen."

Finally returned fixed. Notes state they had replace the motherboard. (what it actually said was "SVC PBA-PBA MAIN (XAR); SM-T800,-,SVC,M32").
So this is a motherboard problem according to my repair and issue. Guess it was cheaper than buying a new tablet. And I do like the Tab S 10.5. So glad I did it.

Hi guys, I really need help, how do i fix my tab S.

At first, it was normal and everything is good. Then battery low. So i charge as usual.
Then after 15 mins charging, it shows 100%. And battery starts jumping randomly, like 80% then became 21%, then back 65%, then critically low.
And the major things happen, screen starts flickering white lines when i touch/swipe screen. Then the next day, screen still flickering white lines and keeps rebooting itself. I leave it till empty battery, hope it goes back to normal, still the sae.. Keeps restarting whenever the white flickering lines appear. I tried going recovery mode, wipe cache, factory reset. Still nothing. Even after data reset, at the start of the screen page, pressing 'next' next, it stills sometime flickers and restart again.

Anyone got solution, or knows what happen to my tabS 8.4?
Really appreciate it if helps. Bcos my warranty is expired.
Tablet is a month old. Is it my battery, or charger or virus that cause it?
(Sorry my bad english)
