[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _DsP_:
oh, one more thing, have you cleaned teh usb port in your phone?

If not, switch the phone off, remove baterry (it's for removing any current from the cirquits) and with fine wooden toothpick or something similar, try to go around inside of a usb port of the phone - I was really supprised how much fabric can be pilled up there :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james_lpool:
I noticed that the plug that comes with the xperia z tablet is only 1.5amp, most other phones etc i have had have always been 2amp, i am just wondering if i would get a faster charge if i bought a 2amp charger, or could i potentially damage the unit if it is only supposed to have 1.5?

thanks

James
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
AFAIK, the XTZ com go up to 2.1A (iPad charger) without any problems...
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james_lpool:
Thank you very much, i've just ordered a 2.1ma charger, i really cant understand why sony released this tablet with a 1.5ma charger as it doesn't charge it as such if you are also using it, but a 2.1ma charger would, maybe they were just trying to save money lol
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cat McGowan:
No, not to save money; instead, to help the battery have a long life. Batteries that are charged with an amperage higher than their design ampere limit will not to live as long as batteries charged at or below their design ampere limit. So, charging your tablet's battery with a 2100 mA charger instead of a 1500 mA charger (per Sony's design) will shorten the battery's life.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
Makes sense. Though I believe XTZ is 1.8 A, not 1.5A. The dock is 1.8A, so yeah...
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cat McGowan:
The dock's 1.8 Ampere rating is a typical-of-industry safety rating of 20% higher than the charger's 1.5 Ampere rating.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
I see... Well, for some reason, 1.8A is stuck in my head, but no problem...

My XTZ charges fairly quickly on the 1.5A provided. Less than 5 hours, I am sure (turned on, WiFi on)
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james_lpool:
I have already ordered a 2.1ma charger now online and was listed on a site as compatible with this tablet, I'm a bit unsure about using it now though even though is was listed for it.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CountParadox:
Devices will only use what they want, you cant force for example, 4amps down its throat by connecting a 4amp charger. I connected it right to my galaxy s4's 2.5amp charger.

If its max charge current is 1.8amp, it will take that and no more. :)

Sites will always say they are compatible, as they wont your hard earn't cash.. But do you ever hear a manufacture, say it's ok to use a higher amp charger ??? No you don't.. Your better off picking up a portable charger that Sony recommend if your so worried about juice :) http://www.sony.co.uk/product/xperia-tablet-z/tab/editorialarticle2
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLS:
Device will of course charge faster.

I don't expect it to have any measurable impact on tablet's battery life.

As with all chargers, voltage needs to be exact (or somewhere like 10% close - preferably 10% more not less), but amperage doesn't matter much as device will "suck" what it can anyway. Most chargers and devices nowadays have protection against "over"-whatever (overheating, overcharging etc.).
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N1NJATH3ORY:
Don't fool yourself mate just Google "fast charger kill battery" there's plenty of users complaints..
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prasadm:
There are varied opinions on the charger capacity and how good they are vs the demerits of using higher capacity chargers on these forums. I found the following article very informative.

Most of us charge the device while in use, so that uses some current which explains why we cannot get a clear understanding of how Li-Ion battery works. Hopefully the article give some clearer understanding of how the charger works. It is not as simple as "Battery will only take what it needs." The Sony charger is designed for 1.5 Amp for a reason. As for the life of the batteries themselves, most of us may not notice it because by the time the life of battery becomes an issue, we would have changed the device ( That's my opinion, not a scientific fact :o

Unless the device itself has some current limiting circuit inside, the higher capacity charger is bound to pump more current into the device. I do not know for a fact if the Sony devices has some such limiting circuit.

You simply cannot 'pump more current' into a device. Electricity just doesn't work like that.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prasadm:
Electricity just doesn't work like that ? yes in normal voltage sources. Here we are talking about the charging of the Li-Ion battery.

Actually there are constant current sources used to charge batteries. True, there are no ideal constant voltage or ideal constant current sources. But the issue of pumping more current into a device is still valid unless the device itself has current limiting circuits inside and limits it to 1.8 Amps as in the example above. What I said was I don't know for a fact that Sony has a limiter inside its tablet for the charging circuit. It may well have. I don't know that. Just because most sources ( including our household AC supply) are voltage sources does not mean all sources are voltage sources.. Please check the battery university link I posted above. They also show the charging characteristics of the battery..
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadDManN:
i bought a power bank with two output of 1A and 2.1A, but some time my xperia charger with 1.5A output is not sufficient to charge my battery and give me not charging error...

So i was wonder due what you says, if i should use 2.1A output? and how much on battery life it may effect?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLS:
Yes you should.

Every battery charging circuit "pulls" as much amperage as needed to charge a battery.

It's not something that will destroy it.

The charger can give out up to 2.1A, but will actually give out as much as the charging circuit "asks" (note the quotes).

Battery will probably charge faster.

Now if this does affect battery life, yes in the long run it could, as most batteries "prefer" (extensive use of quotes I know) slower charging. It all depends on how smart the charging circuit is and Sony has a good track record for their smart batteries (unlike Samsung for example - which I hope they fixed with non-removable S6 battery - but that's off topic).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] woow14610:
Hi All,

I have been reading the XDA for days now. I have att D80010D. I have not taken the software upgrade which has prompted. I want to root because I would like to use tasker or Lima, remove bloat. Not necessarily to get paranoid kitkat given kitkat will be coming in March. I read way to root and looks very clear how it is done. Does the current root process have a way to avoid the root counter increase? Is there a way to unroot and get to the factory defaults? I know you can flash the factory reset and there is a thread for it but does it reset the root counter?

Appreciate your kind help.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xringo:
Now I had a problem before that my phone would think It was charging. I read around and found out how to fix it. By using a needle and pushing the usb connector head up. Well It worked , since it didn't show usb charging anymore. But now whenever I plug my usb into the phone connector ,it turns off. And won't turn on unless I take out the battery. I've tried two different usb cables and nothing.

Now I'm pretty sure I messed up by trying to fix it. Now I'm wondering how much it costs to replace the usb connector? My problem is that i'm in Sri Lanka and i'm not sure if they have the parts for it. I know I can order online but my mom isn't very keen on it.

Any advice would be great
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You don't just replace the connecter, your replace the board as well. You can buy the parts on eBay/elsewhere online cheaply & do it yourself. KeithRoss39 has a guide on doing this in the General section, search for it; has all the info you need.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xringo:
Problem is buy it from online is out my option as my mom has no credit card that is accepted over seas and my dad isn't in the country. COuld there be a chance ,that these replacements could be sold in shops?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Ask local mobile repair shops, that would be the only place you'd get one from. I mean, we're talking about specialised electronic components, not like you can buy this stuff at a supermarket. Though chances are they'd insist on doing the replacement for you & which means paying for labour on top which makes replacing a ~US$15 part a $50 (or more) job.

Edit - You can link a bank account to a PayPal account, you don't necessarily need a credit card.

Hello, this guide is perfectly working on my Zelig Pad 410HD (XZPAD410HD).

Here is my step-by-step guide:

Install proper drivers on PC using "Adb Driver Installer"

Download and install "Android SDK"

Enable "Debug USB" option under "Settings -> Development Settings" in the device

Download this file, extract it to your internal memory (NOT SD!) and make sure that you're having the supersu folder into the root of your internal memory (All my thanks to JulianXhokaxhiu)

Open DOS shell and go to ADB shell directory (ie c:\sdk\tools, C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools, etc)

Run this simple lines:

adb shell
cd /sdcard/supersu
sh install.sh

Done! If you open your App drawer and you see SuperSu app, you can be sure that the install was done correctly

Reboot your device and open SuperSu up to be sure that you're not getting any error

Update the SuperSu app from the Play Store and update busybox using one of the many apps available into the Play Store

Of course, all my thanks to JulianXhokaxhiu for his great job!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Fearborn:
So, at the risk of posting too much info (instead of not enough) I'm going to start at the beginning:

I rooted my wife's S3 and loaded TWRP and Paranoid Android. It ran fine, but there was a camera issue, so she wanted me to restore it to the stock ROM. I did this (to 4.1, I believe, whatever was out in August). Again, it ran fine and I was planning to restore the root access, but did not.

Later, it was dropped in Hibachi sauce (not sure this is relevant, but in case) and we put it immediately in rice. It worked fine, other than the touch screen intermittently ceasing to receive touch commands.

When the updated ROM came from Samsung, my wife installed the update and the phone continued to work fine, other than the screen issue.

She was tired of the issue and decided to sell it to buy an iPhone (shudder) so she did a factory reset. This is where the issues began (I included the previous steps as I'm not sure which may have caused the current issue).

Upon the factory reset, the phone would only boot to the beginning of the AT&T logo loading. I thought it may be something she could fix through Kies and suggested she try that, so she did. The phone would then boot to a screen in Odin mode that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." We did this and there was no help.

I can get it to boot into recovery (the default one now) and have tried to reflash that and the stock ROM that I did previously and only can get two actions: either the freeze at the AT&T logo (if I use Odin to flash the ROM) or the above message in Odin mode (after trying to fix from Kies).

I'm not sure what to do at this point and would appreciate any and all help you guys can provide. I've lurked around and learned quite a bit to flash my ROM and my wife's from you guys, so I'm really hoping I can learn more from this. :D

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] UnknownTroll1:
So is it stuck on the AT&T Logo? Or Samsung Logo?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Fearborn:
It was the AT&T logo, it's currently the Odin. If I flash it again with the stock ROM, it'll be the AT&T logo again, but it doesn't completely load the AT&T logo. The Samsung one loads and then the AT&T starts to load, but doesn't finish playing.
