I would agree, I prefer it all at the bottom, on either side of the screen. It gets in the way of my slack typing... Accidentally hitting the back, home buttons is annoying but not unusable... I guess it also depends also on whether ppl use a keyboard.

Any update on SGP311 OTA update ?

See attached for a screen shot of the CM10.1 4.2.2 setup... We lose screen size on top and bottom, how much I wouldn't know...
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Andrewtst:
I want 4.2.2 update, when Sony gonna release for WiFi only edition! It had been a week over already.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] SWFlyerUK:
I wish Sony would hurry up and release 4.2.2 for the WiFi models.

Wish I'd bought the LTE version now if that's to see updates quicker in the future

Im in the uk and cant get the update.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] tullnd:
Lol seriously? Of course it hasn't been released yet. The first one, you let it get out there and bake to make sure there's no significant issues, before they roll it out wide. It's been a little over a week.

This is pretty quick for updates compared to many other mfg's. I even just bought the wifi version(had an option to get the SPG351 but decided I don't need the cellular). I'm sure it'll show up by early or mid-September at the latest...hell it could even start rolling out at the end of August, but I think that'd be a little early.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] reg6ft3:
I wonder when playing videos and youtube, will it cover the whole screen like Nexus 7 and 10 does. I think this was a 4.2 feature perhaps rather than have the dimmed dots, the whole task-bar auto hides when viewing full screen videos.

If anyone has the update, can you shed light on this?

Also surprised there is no video walk through of the new UI yet, I've looked everywhere!!!!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] nitin_ko:
its more than 2 weeks since 321 got the update and seems sony has gone into hibernation mode for the rest of us.

I wonder if they're struggling to get GPS to work on the 311/312 models :(

It's delays like this that make me wish I'd bought a Nexus tablet.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] nitin_ko:
never faced issues with GPS on my 311

i use sygic.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] GretaLewd:
What ROM are you runiing ?

GPS works fine on the 311 with the current stock Sony (Android 4.1) rom...but no-one has got it working yet on any of the 4.2 / 4.3 cutom roms - so I'm assuming Sony may be having the same problems with their official 4.2 / 4.3 for the 311/312.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] nitin_ko:
yes , i am on stock.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] xperiax10.awesome:
What kind of roll out is this? Sony decided to not roll out 4.2.2 for rest of the devices including Docomo version or wat !!

[Xperia Tablet Z General] DdcCabuslay:
Just wait. It'll come eventually.

You'll probably get it last since DoCoMo might need to add their software to the firmware and test it on their network.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Andrewtst:
I am not so happy with it also, feel like 311 user had been forgotten! 2 weeks already! and still no updates for 311 user!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] akshayjangra:
There's still no update in our region although we have sgp321. Why doesn't they clearly mention their phased roll out schedule
[Xperia Tablet Z General] kiikooo:
Im still waiting for update too. Hate that i always hear that Sony started rolling and have to wait 2-5 weeks everytime to get that update.

Off topic. Does anyone have mirroring working without disconnecting from wifi? My Z Ultra doesn't disconnect but the tablet does.

Thanks
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CandyAndy:
I have the exact same question than you have. I was so disappointed to find out that I can't mirror the screen on tv without wifi cutting off.

I really hope that this issue will be addressed in the update. Otherwise I have basically wasted my money on the push2tv and maybe even this tablet wasn't worth buying. Otherwise I have been happy with it.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] om22:
try to give the devices static ips, change wifi channel or set the dhcp lease time higher in your router :good: i got never a single disconnect yet since i´m using static ips.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CandyAndy:
Ok yes I also have wifi drop outs but the issue here is that when using miracast to mirror tablet screen on the tv using netgear or similar then our tablet will disconnect from the wifi network as long as the mirrorring is on. When stopping mirrorring the wifi will return. This is a design flaw made by Sony and I hope its just software problem and not related to the hardware.

I will try the static ip also since my wifi will drop randomly.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] om22:
Have you got any device where you can use your wifi while streaming to tv? I think it's not possible just like it's not possible to share your wifi connection with the mobile wifi hotspot of your phone

Gesendet von meinem SGP311 mit Tapatalk 4
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CandyAndy:
Yes, basically every other device is able to keep wifi connection while mirroring screen.

I have HTC One, no problem with that. And I have read reports that every single Samsung device is also fine doing it and so are Sony's mobile phones.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] om22:
if the xperia z can keep it while using miracast, it´s clearly a software issue:cool:

UI failure

the new update is in many ways excellent, but losing the buttons on the side and getting the annoying notification bar at the top is totally unacceptable. is there any way to fix this?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Sean09:
I'd be more concerned about losing root.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] DdcCabuslay:
Nope. Welcome to 4.2.2. If you want the old button and notification placement you should stick with 4.1.2 if it's really important to you,

I'm sure a root exploit will be found eventually.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CandyAndy:
Must say that I am not so impressed of Sony's slow pace to update the wifi only version. Its now about a month since LTE version got their update and with wifi only we are waiting and no word from Sony that when its actually useful to go check for the update. (Now I do it every two days)
[Xperia Tablet Z General] tullnd:
Closer to 3 weeks. Not a month. And a month is not a long time. Again, they release one and make sure it goes smooth. then you release the floodgates. It's prudence. i'd guess one to two more weeks before we see updates on some of the others.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Crake:
If i new what were the advantages of the 4.2.2 version of Android, i have NEVER update it.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] nitin_ko:
there is no root method for 4.2.2 yet, you should have rooted with doomlords method while on 370, converted super su as system app from Su settings itself and then update via OTA.

this is how 321 guys could keep root. or maybe later revert back to 370 and follow same process.

Be sure to use SuperSU's settings to make SuperSU a system app. Go into SuperSU's settings and set Install SuperSU into /system on. Next, reboot the tablet, then go back into SuperSU's settings and look at Install SuperSU into /system, it should be grayed out and saying SuperSU is already a system app. If the setting is not grayed out, repeat the process.

This is not working for me, the tablet did reboot automatically, but I also rebooted manually, and it still states that i am (still) able to install super user into system, when I do it then states "installing to /system", but it's not greyed out. I have checked to system folder, and there is no file/apk calleed super user, all SU files are in the data folders. Any ideas what I can do?

Upgraded my SGP312 earlier today through PCC. Everything went well. Can't comment too much yet on any under-the-hood stuff. I understand some of you may not like the new systemUI but personally, I am accustomed to it already from other devices I have that has been running 4.2.2 for a while. I really like the 4.2.2 layout and I haven't noticed any hitches. I am pleased with the update so far.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Aid777:
Worked finally, did it several times though. Powered down the tablet a few times as well, which might have helped
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Sean09:
I've clicked to install SuperSU to system 8 times now and rebooted each time, still not greyed out.

EDIT - 15th time finally worked!
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Sean09:
I'd hold off on the update if you need root. I did the SuperSU to system, confirmed it was there, and ran the update. I now lost root.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Cat McGowan:
Same here. I should have listened to my gut instead the posts claiming success. Oh well, water under the bridge, eh? I ran the 4.2.2 update for about an hour, updating all the apps, etc., and all I can say is WTF!? The UI is badly borked and I could not find anything that made me say "Oh, this is nice." So, I flash back to 4.1.2 (.370) and regained root access using DooMLoRD's tool, and now I am in the process of reinstalling and setting up all of my apps and data. Should make for an exciting evening. <sigh>
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Sean09:
I reverted back to 4.2.2 since I cannot seem to downgrade without losing my data. I will just hope they root it quickly :(

[Xperia Tablet Z General] Morti:
Except multi user, a nicer UI, exFAT support, bug fixes and a working microphone.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] hasenbein1966:
Multi user: yes

Nicer UI: NO (PhabletUI is BS on large devices; the Small Apps shortcut was perfectly fine; font rendering is reportedly borked on many devices

exFAT: For WiFi models users NO, because we already had it under 4.1.2

Bug fixes: Which?

Working microphone: 1/2 yes, because it worked also before, just was a bit quiet in apps like Skype.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] nitin_ko:
where to access small apps now ?

also i heard the walkman controls on lock screen is gone

that was a must have :(
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Morti:
Wait until we have root. You can hide the bottom bar entirely in the new UI, making watching video in wet places a reality or just replace it with LMT.

Aside from my own personal preference, this makes the new UI genuinely useful. It's much more hackable than the old one.

Disclaimer: I haven't actually tried any of this yet, so this entire post is near meaningless.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] X3remes:
But doesn't the bottom bar already hide automatically when watching videos? Both the notification and navigation bars do.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Morti:
Nope. The buttons just dim but are still touchable, making it nigh-on impossible to watch videos in the shower.

Unless we are referring to two different OS's namely 4.1.2 vs 4.2.2, then I beg to differ. In 4.2.2, the navigation buttons don't just dim, but both the navigation and status bars automatically go off screen for a full screen video experience. Take a look at the screenies I snapped below...

1. Movies app window with navigation and status bars visible...

2. Same video with nav bar and status bars automatically hidden...

I posted this in the Note 2 forums aswell but I'm just curious as to what you guys think, having presumably had the phone for a while. I'm planning on getting a S4 that's brand new tomorrow as a swap for my Note 2 which I've had for 3/4 months. Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andymihail:
I think it depends on your taste and needs. I prefer S4 as it is not that big, yet has a marvelous display and is fast enough for my daily use.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djonnystevensabenz:
I did, am happy!

I did the switch after using Note 2 for over half a year.

I'm very happy with its size (got tired of holding Note 2) and its display.

Once official CM build for I9500 is released, I'm sure I'll be even happier.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohammadAG:
As a person who did this, I'll help you decide with some simple questions.

Do you hate warm devices? The S4 gets hot compared to the almost always room temp Note 2.

Do you want to root it? No? Get it if the above doesn't bother you.

Yes? If you stay on stock kernel, then again, get it. If not, you might have some very annoying camera lag issues. If you don't use the camera a lot you'll live with it, but it might ruin some moments, or keep your friends doing awkward faces while the camera loads.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JOKERx2:
What kind of lag issue? I was debating between the Note 2 and S4 and ended up with an S4. I am very happy with my decision. S4 has no camera lag issues and no issues anywhere else. I'm almost always on my phone doing whatever and no lags....yeah it gets hot from time to time but that's normal if your playing a big graphic and processing hogging game and/or always on the internet uploading and downloading.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
I don't have a Note II to tell you the main differences, however I believe you should hold on to your Note until next S comes if you're really willing to change your device :). My cellphone before S4 was a Xperia X10 Mini Pro lol (yea, it's from 2010), Note II is still a recent and nice device! However if you really want to change now I'll tell you my experience with GT-I9505:

Pros:

FAST AS HELL! Can run any game on it with no problems :D

Display is amazing, vivid colors and very sharp quality. Jaw dropping quality IMO.

Slim and light.

Easy to root, good developer forums (at least GT-I9505)

Installed AOSP 4.3 and is even faster now (GT-I9505G = GT-I9505)

Superb camera (dad has a HX-1 camera from Sony, because of the fast processor I was able to take 3-4 photos while he was taking one, however you can't compare quality lol, not that S4 camera is bad, it's one of the best now, but Sony HX-1 is a CAMERA, while S4 is a CELLPHONE)

Sound is fine (will discuss later about this one in *Cons*)

Cons:

Gets really hot

Battery don't last too long (6-9h with moderate usage)

Screen too bright

Speaker placed in the bottom (after using my Nexus 10 with front speakers you notice the difference, I see myself putting my S4 over something without the speaker touching the surface to get better sound)

The personal opinions:

Screen size - Depends of your interest, I found it the perfect size for me (I'm 190cm with huge hands lol)

Beautiful device overall - I think it is at least

Physical "Home" button - I'm looking at you HTC One

That's it, hope it clarifies a little. Closing up:

PS.:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youguesswho:
Wow. Thank you guys for all the feedback, I am a pretty small guy to be honest with small hands, that was why I was compelled to get a smaller device without losing any of the software features and the S4 seemed the only viable option to me, however saying that, I think I'd be best off waiting, the overheating seems abit of a problem as I do make long calls daily and the lack of use of custom kernels without the camera bugging up is a bit of a shame as I was looking forward to using it alot. But anyway guys, thanks for the help !! :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohammadAG:
It does, but only if you use a custom kernel. The lag gets even worse when using third party apps, sometimes it even reboots.

Stock kernel doesn't cause these issues.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JOKERx2:
The only time I've seen my S4 lag after a picture is if I have "Night Mode" on. After every picture it would say "processing." Once I turned that off, all the pictures that I've taken just snapped and kept it moving. I also have the review off. No point if your the type to take several pics and just keep the one that you like the most. That's what I normally do.
