Right now I am android 4.1.1 and now I am going to update a ROM which is of 4.2.x but in every thread I have seen that first flash with kernel. Why we need to flash with karnel . In earlier many tym I have flashed many different ROMs but I never flash any kernel and without flashing kernel my ROMs are working fine in my device so why we need to flash kernel and what is OC mean over clock?? Thanks in advance..
[Micromax A110] help chahiyo:
You need to flash 4.2.x kernel so that your device runs according to rom. Kernels are like brains. They control how your device works. Si flash an appropriate 4.2.x kernel when you flash a 4.2 rom. And yes OC means overcloak. It basically is a process of increasing your processor speed more than usual. Lets say if your processor is 1ghz, you overcloak it to 1.2 ghz. OC may speed your device, but it also creates heating problem and battery drainage quick. Hit thanks if i helped.

[ UPDATE - 18 Feb ] New Press Renders of Xperia Z2 Tablet and Pics have been leaked.

New Xperia Z2 Tablet press render pics and specifications have been leaked by @GadgetLeaks, stating Xperia Z2 Tablet weighs 426 grams for Wi-Fi version and 439 grams for LTE model. Exact dimension of Xperia Z2 Tablet is 266 x 172 x 6.4 mm.

meh, was hoping for something better, rather disappointed.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] x000x:
maybe it will start off cheaper now compared to the outrageous $500 as the first one originally was.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Felimenta97:
It is the same price, if not lower, than their direct counterparts from other companies. The iPad was costing $100 more at the time of the release.

Also, more supposed specs:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...ia-tablet-z2-press-renders-leak-onto-twitter/

WiFi: 426g, LTE: 439g. Both lighter than the iPad Air

Dimensions: 266 x 172 x 6.4mm (Except for thickness, which is less than the actual model), has the same exact dimensions as our model.

Considering they follow the Z1 design (Magnetic charger, Aluminium borders), it's impressive that they did all of that, but with the same battery size.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] x000x:
so... because the overpriced ipad was overpriced, that means it was perfectly acceptable for sony to overprice theirs? lol

I wonder why sony just sold off their computer business? and soon their tv business as well? maybe b/c they overpriced their products and hardly anyone bought them?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] texterted:
I've got a tablet z and it's the best one I've owned, I just hope the z2 brings a good kitkat rom as everything for the Z after the original 4.1.2 has been ****e!

Let's face it anything without Apple has to be f=good anyway, I'd pay a premium just to avoid it.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Felimenta97:
I don't think 500 bucks for a premium device is too much. Sometimes, and with some companies, they are too overpriced, but you pay for what you get.

The iPhone, for example, is a bit overpriced, but it is what you get: A premium device.

I was hoping for better screen resolution.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] negrobembon:
It looks cool but i might skip it as i just bought the tablet z 3 months ago and the Z2 doesn't seem to be THAT much of an impovement

But i do hope we get kit kat with all the features on the tablet Z
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] N1NJATH3ORY:
i thought the original z tablet was a triluminos display one ???
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Felimenta97:
Nop. It was first launched in mobile devices with Z Ultra. We "just" have a IPS screen, which was probably the best Xperia screen Sony has ever made.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] N1NJATH3ORY:
But is the IPS good a triluminos display ? As they both am LCD if i am not mistaken ?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Felimenta97:
IPS is a LCD type. Triluminos is a LCD modification. Something to do with quantum dots and white backlight replaced by a blue one. It adds more colors to the range that LCD generally supports.

IPS and Triluminos can coexist. Such as with the Z1 Compact and Z Ultra, for example.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] bklm1234:
I like the specs. 1920x1200 is actually my preference. I got a Asus TF701 which has 2592х1944 resolution. I don't see added benefits really. My movies are at most 1080 anyway. The higher resolution drains the battery more and slows the device down. I like the light weight and thinness even at the expense of the battery capacity. I don't mind charging more frequently to exchange for light weight. My TF701 makes me wrist sore. Having Kitkat is an added bonus. Even Sony decided not to do any Android upgrade, I'd be happy. Kitkat made my $160 Chinese 8.9" iFive X2 tablet fly as compared to the previous JB 4.2.2 firmware. I totally can be happy enough with Kitkat only.

If it's $500 or less, I'll order it as soon as it comes out.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] N1NJATH3ORY:
The added benefits of higher display panels is that they are easier on the eyes :) Especially if you am into reading books or PDF that's where the extra pixels shine :)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] arcsuser:
They have a new one! Dammit! >:|:banghead:
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Mr Paul:
Very disappointed with the screen resolution, needs to be higher for a premium tablet.

Will skip this one :(
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Felimenta97:
I can read texts just fine. This screen has less DPI than my phone (240 vs 342), but it as sharp.

So you skip the whole device JUST because of resolution? I mean, the screen is already VERY good with the 1080p.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] negrobembon:
I think he's gonna skip it because the real world advantages over the original tablet Z are minimal
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Mr Paul:
Indeed.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] tullnd:
Which is basically true for every phone and tablet release for the last year or so in most situations.

Excluding a few that lagged behind in screen resolution(Samsung's Galaxy Note series for example), generally all tablets now are "fast enough" and the screen resolutions are "high enough".

Yes, higher than 1920x1200 could be a visual plus. But I'm sure Sony probably realized that for most people, it's more than high enough(I honestly can't tell the difference in quality compared to the new Galaxy Note's or even against a Nexus 10) and the cost increase it'd push would be more than what the market would bear for the device.

Much of the premium cost associated with this line is the form factor(materials used, thin/light build, water resistance) which actually drives up cost quite a bit compared to other performance oriented functions.

Most models are no longer going to be such a jump in capabilities that it demands a yearly cyclical upgrade path. I'm guessing closer to 2-3 years from here on out. Battery life is about the only remaining area where huge advancements are still necessary, but for most, the devices have reached an adequate level of performance(some users may still demand more and be willing to pay for incremental increases).

It's a reasonable jump. If it's thinner, lighter, faster and possibly a little more efficient on a similar sized battery, that's a big advancement. Plus the screen should be a bit improved in color reproduction as well.

I'm still very satisfied with my original Tablet Z, so I don't feel the need to shell out cash for an upgrade yet. Maybe in a year or so.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] bklm1234:
[MENTION=2837083]tullnd[/MENTION]: well said

I returned my tf701 so I only have a transformer prime which only has a 1280 resolution screen and a tegra 3, both of which need an upgrade esp the tf is notorious for having lot of lag. The z2 should be money well spent. I do want to squeeze more battery life so I welcome the 1920 resolution. I think even if you can tell the difference of the ultra hd, you are better off with the 1920 resolution just because of the battery life.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Alfablos:
Guys, here we have a jump of 0.8Ghz in processor clock frequency and one more Gb of RAM to handle BUT the same battery capacity as Xperia tablet Z. Software improvement may be mighty, and that I don't know for sure, but numbers don't lie: are we going to regret this upgrade in terms of battery drain? :(
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Felimenta97:
Due to the new processor technology, it is more power efficient than the S4 Pro. The resolution will be the same, meaning the biggest battery drainer won't be affected.

And more RAM should consume that much battery, the difference will be to small to even notice. Kinds the same with Xperia Z vs Z1. The Z1 has a much better processor than Z, but the battery lasts more.

I have nothing to complain about my Tablet's battery life.

I am truly impressed they managed to make the battery size exactly the same, but with more RAM, better processor, and a even thinner and lighter device, without compromising a single mm in the bezels...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Alfablos:
Good news, thank you.

Do you know how much It takes to Sony, on average, to update after google releases the last version of Android?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Felimenta97:
They generally take a good while, sadly. They have been getting better over time, but they are still not THAT good when it comes in number of big updates. I wish, or expect, however, that the first gen Z line (my classification, includes Z, ZL and Tablet Z) will get at least Android 4.5 (or 5.0, don't know the next number).

They have the same processor Nexus 4 has, so drivers won't be an excuse for Sony, like it was for XS.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] tel033:
Is it the same processor as the Sirius, I mean the same refreshed s800? What about the stylus/pen or and other things implementation? (like z ultra)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Alfablos:
Surfing on youtube I've heard this tablet has a VARIANT of the Snapdragon 800 (just like "Sirius"). So goodbye updates over a short period XD

Nexus 5 has the original Snapdragon 800 so Sony has to work on the processor too :(
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Felimenta97:
It not a variant. Just a slightly updated 800...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Tommy-Geenexus:
The batter life won't be that bad.

My nexus 5 has a small battery too but lasts surprisingly long even though it has a S800 processor.

The 2.5 ghz are meaningless because of throttling.

Also a higher resolution would result in too much performance loss.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Ryland Johnson:
I agree and my bank manager has just settled down and can reduce his meds! I am one of those who simply must have the latest and newest technology. SO FAR the new releases we are seeing coming from Barcelona have not interested me at all.

I have been very satisfied with the Xperia Z and cannot see the differences in the Z2 making me justify the expense of a change. To be honest I am rather pleased about this. This chasing the newest techno is starting to wear a tad thin.

Like many reviewers and posters have commented I would agree we have reached a plateau for now where we are operating to the point where the hardware is outperforming the software in terms of applications. Battery is the one massive hurdle to overcome.

I was hoping, however, for Sony to introduce a new smart watch but its not yet on the cards.

Pleased with the Xperia Z tablet and Xperia Z Ultra phablet plus the SBH52. Will now place an order for the smart watch. Looks like my wallet is going to get away this quarter lightly thank goodness :fingers-crossed:.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Zaim2012:
I've pre ordered mine, eta is 18th March :(

Am I right in assuming the magnetic charging port will be the same as the Z1/Ultra ?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Felimenta97:
Agree...

There are A LOT of reasons the Z2 is a huge update. Maybe not that much from Z1, but from Z it is.

As far as I know, yes.

Can't wait to have the Tablet Z2 system dump :excited:
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Ryland Johnson:
Hang on maybe I have made a mistake? To the best of my knowledge Sony started with the S went to the Z, that we have, and are now introducing the Z2?

IF this is the case the difference between the tablet we have, the Sony Xperia Z and the new Z2 is processor speed up from 1.5 quad core to 2.2 quad core. No upgrade to screen or other specifications in that area. The Zi is thinner and lighter but that is an aesthetic value and will not affect performance? I have read two different RAM specs, one says the Z1 is still 2Gb, the other report saying it had 3Gb?

I would appreciate any further input you have please. If I have made a blooper I need to correct my post. I dislike to misinform readers.

I may well be incorrect on all counts.

Ryland
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Felimenta97:
Sony REALLY started with the Z1. Until Z, it was rest of Sony Ericsson.

From S, we then had T, then Z, the Z1 and now Z2. Differences from the Z1 To Z2: Slightly better processor, another Gb of RAM, IPS screen, noise cancelation, stereo front facing speakers, slightly difference in design, bugger screen, newer Android version, to mention a few.

From Tablet Z to Tablet Z2 (I don't like Z2 Tablet, and I refuse to call it so): Thinner, lighter, yet same battery size and dimensions (height and width) Better build (Aluminium borders), Magnetic Port, way faster processor, another Gb of RAM, Triluminos + X Reality, to mention a few.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Zaim2012:
Are you referring to the naming scheme or the tablet it self ?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] tel033:
When is amazon listing this device?? :D
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Felimenta97:
The naming scheme. I'd rather Xperia Tablet Z2, not Xperia Z2 Tablet. It works with the Ultra (Xperia Z Ultra), but IMO looks strange the Tablet wordafter the Z2
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Ryland Johnson:
Are we debating the same device here? Tablet Z and the new Z2? I can find no reference whatsoever to a Sony tablet 10.0 Zi?

Again on the Sony site the Z and the Z1 have the same screen with Bravia 2 engine? The basic difference is the processor and I don't, with respect, call that a massive update worthy of a change from the Z to the Z2

Can you reference this Z1 10.1 tablet you mention? Not on the UK site nor any European sites? On the Sony UK site there is also no mention of the "T" that you refer to either? S, Z now Z1 only.

Maybe other countries outside Europe, I am even more confused now?:eek:

Make no mistake had I not purchased the Z and was on the market for a 10.1 tablet the Z2 would be the one I would consider. My original point was Sony on this occasion have updated-tweeked the Z to the Z1 rather than developed a new tablet.

Ryland
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Felimenta97:
I first talked about the phones: From S to T, to Z, to Z1. Then about Tablet Z to Tablet Z2.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Gnopps:
Where did you pre-order yours? I tried through Sony's homepage in Finland but it gives me an error every time and their support didn't want to help resolve it.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Alfablos:
I totally agree, there would be no consisten reason to upgrade to Tablet z2 from z1. And I totally take your point about the inconsistent hardware request in light of the fact that there is NO app, as far as I know, which could even put a 2.45Ghz processor and 3Gb of RAM under pressure, also the GPU, slightly enhanced, is of no use as powerful as It is.

There's one point though, and here I ask you how sony behaves in term of long term updating (2 years? Just one?), a better hardware grants less performance loss over time, as updates come.

Again It won't be 200Mhz plus on the processor (Maybe 3Gb of RAM will) which will make a difference in terms of what I wrote up here.

There's a question I wanted to ask you: all the manufacturer always speak about diagonal (10.1 inches and so on...), but what are the real dimensions of the display, height and width ?

I don't know how many of you have the Tablet Z, maybe [MENTION=4520398]Ryland Johnson[/MENTION] can answer that. Don't mind telling me in cm if It's not your scale, I'll convert from inches :)

I'm very interested in this tablet but there's something that's really bothering me, the position of the audio jack in the bottom edge, my main use for a tablet is to watch films with earphones (so not wake up my wife...), while it rests on my bed side table on one of those stand up cases, but from what I’ve seen in the videos the audio jack is just where the tablet rests, so even with the official SCR12 case I can’t see how this could work, but surely this would be crazy so I really don’t know what to think...

You probably won't be able to provide the whole firmware as just yet (not until you get a update with Sony Bridge for Mac). You can, however, use adb and do a system dump. That, for now, is more than enough for porting purposes. I will try to post a link with a tutorial for that here soon :)
