[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Skogstoken:
I bought mine from Sony. Returned it today and the reason was the touch problems. Im getting a replacement tho. However I do think its related to software but now I get to play with the new for another 30 days before I decide if I want to keep it or not. Hopefully Sony have sorted the problems with the touch by then... Otherwise I will have to return that one too.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] bossei:
I just got mine 3 days ago so I'll play with it bit longer. I love this thing so I'm most likely not returning it but I still want it fixed lol. If I do return it would be to get a replacement.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Dom3000:
I dont have problems with touch sensitivity so I guess its hardware related. Some devices are maybe faulty. If it was software everybody would have same problems.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] Rurd2di:
I'm wondering if it is hardware, but then why are Sony releasing firmware updates to try fix it.

Not actually sure..
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] LitoNi:
Sony Canada. Launched it 2 days ago, I've had two replacements because of loose corners.

My current one is Having touch screen issues >.> it better be a software issue, unless they make an official statement about this I doubt anyone who passes the refund date can get a refund.

Sony don't disappoint me
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] CAL7:
This, "remote share", works great for me, but I need help understanding its value. Folks here, smarter than me, rave about it, so I must be missing something. How does Remote Share work better than an app like ES or FX that access remote shares?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] hermovv:
This way the share is mounted straight in your tablet's file system.

I compared accessing a file through "remote share" and through "LAN" (both using ES) and "remote share" was a lot faster.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] xsacha:
If you use LAN file manager via an app like Es, all you get is access to the files via Es.

If you use 'Remote Shares' in Settings, all your apps can see it as if it were on your tablet. Advantages include loading movies from apps that don't know about LAN, loading console ROMs from emulators, loading music from MP3 players, etc.

You can mount remote shares like this if you have root too but I think you can't do it without root or a Sony device.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] hasenbein1966:
And root even doesn't suffice - there must be the source code of the kernel available and there must someone be so nice to compile either a CIFS-enabled kernel or a CIFS kernel module suited for the device's kernel. This explains why many devices doesn't have this functionality and never will.

So it's really something special that Sony provides this in stock ROM!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] CAL7:
I'm using Remote Share now and it's very nice. Is there a way to make the connection "permanent" or persistent, i.e. reconnect automatically when the device is in range or (maybe the same thing...) not disconnect it when not available?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] matt_the_cat:
I really love it...

I'm using my new tablet for four weeks now and I can say I'm impressed. It looks good, is slim, it is light and has an impressing battery life. And it's FAST!

But where there is light, there is also shadow:

The screen loves fingerprints. It collects as many of them as possible. This is annoying when working with the tablet in bright environment.

The screen is terribly reflective. See above.

This is not a Sony issue: I do not like that I do not have full access to the microSD card. The access is restricted by Android. The internal memory is almost used up because I have installed three memory hogging games.

I would like to know why Sony decided to place the headphone jack where it is placed. When using the tablet in landscape mode the headphone jack is on the underside making it impossible to plug in a headphone when positioning the tablet upright on a table.

I also encounter the non-responsive screen issue. I hope this will be fixed with an update.

But below the line I'm enjoying my purchase!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] RichRuns:
Does the screen problem affect gaming?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] fleckdalm:
The problem is fixed with the newest update!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] xinfinityoO:
the only thing i hate is the headphone jack..like wtf ..y put it at the bottom.. what if someone ones to put the tablet down and watch movies using headphones.. .. only way is turning it upside down ..but then again u cant make it stand using a case as the flaps are on the other side ..and putting support at the back of the table (like books etc) is a nuisance
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] tallguy_uk_98:
So having had the Z2 tablet for a week, I have to say I'm impressed, with one caveat, having come from a Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 (2012) I really really miss the stylus input, I hope Sony can turn it on in an update if the hardwear is there.

Otherwise, no lag, good 4G speed, awesome screen, reasonable speakers, movies look amazing, as do imported photos, no experience with the built in shooter yet, and unlike a lot of reviews, I don't mind the bezels as they make it easy to hold.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] kbroh:
Xperia z2 tablet 16 GB WiFi version. Awesome. Battery life is superb. Visualization is crisp, speakers are average, touch controls are better after the update, magnetic charging is great, no lag (especially on cm11!). Only downside is the price. But well worth it compared to the new Samsung tabs!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet General] meteor999:
Just got mine today. Loving it so far. screen very responsive. Its one sexy and fast machine

Thought I would expand, firstly I find screen responsiveness to be very good, however it was poor before I installed the latest update . Its funny Sometimes the screen is too responsive - it suffers from double presses. Battery seems good so far, only had it a day so it might take a while for battery stats to function properly. I struggle to type two handed in landscape due to the wide bezzal. While I was in the shop today i tryed out the octa core galaxy tab s! Its a beauty, practically no bezzal, however when you hold it as a result of the thin bezzal your palm or other fingers resting on the side will trigger touches. I couldnt tell any difference in responsiveness between the two. And I wonder about battery life in an octa core, although I here its just two quad cores with one idle unless needed. I love the screen, it is way and above adequete.

Ill see how things go over the next week and update with a conclusion

i just wna check if my nexus5 have problem with the speakers.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] pggdt:
sorry, I don't know. I'm using the 4.0 stock rom and it runs well with that kernel.

battery dies a little faster than the CM 11 rom.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
Instead of requesting things, you could get them done.

You have kernel compiling tutorials.

You (I assume), have a machine capable of running Linux.

You have an internet connection (evidently), so, you have access to kernel sources.

You have the commits for S2W here: https://github.com/cybojenix/android_kernel_htc_pico/commits/master

Then, why don't you make yourself a stock kernel with S2W,

if you really want it

?

Note

: You here, refers to all those who want a stock kernel with S2W, but randomly turn up on this thread hoping someone else will do it. The fact is, no one will. You have to help yourselves.

Respects and regards,

<the person who doesn't care>.

P.S. Now that I've typed all this crap (which will (hopefully) guide you in the right direction), lemme give you some more info.

the himax8526a was never updated (i don't see a reason for it to be), except for once, by derefas to fix touch screen in sense 4.0, here: https://github.com/cybojenix/android_kernel_htc_pico/commit/45392ad98882a4c6f492dd17dc2579689d8053c4

so, s2w in stock kernel should be as easy as applying patches and building.

If you are too "lazy" to do that, the problem is with you. Not the community.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmedemad:
Hey All,

I have problems with my GT-N7100 after updating to rom 4.3, it's a weird situation after trying all solutions available online (all solutions I found ).

I will tell you the full scenario and please try to help me with it.

I was on rom 4.1.2 , after flashing rom 4.3 from sammobile, I started getting not registered on network, I couldn't solve it at first and I was afraid to try solving it by myself. I sent to service center and he said he can't make it work on 4.3 and it must be downgraded to 4.1.1 and he did it and it was working. I guess he installed a German rom , baseband: N7100XXALIH.

I decided to try upgrading again to rom 4.3 but first I took a backup by rom manager and then I flashed the 4.3 rom and the network problem happened again, the IMEI is correct.

I tried several ways including ariza patch and flashing several modems but it didn't work, until I found the way to flash: Patched_N7100_MK4_KERNEL then flash: Patched_N7100_XXUEMJ5_Modem.

That fixed the network problem and it worked super fine but at the same time I had problem with the wifi , it can't be turned on.

I tried Dr.Ketan wifi patch, but it didn't fix it.

I restored the 4.1.1 backup which I had at first but I still have the not registered on network problem.

I wanna run 4.3 rom and solve the network problem as well as the wifi problem.

please help me to solve this problem.

PS: I bought this phone last year from HK and I flashed 4.1.2 rom for Egypt right after I bought it and it was working fine. now after I tried rom 4.3 for Egypt, UAE, and HK I'm still having problems.

There is a service office said he can solve it but it's gonna cost around 40 USD, I wanna save that money and know the solution by myself to be able to solve it if I face it later.

Sorry for the long thread. your quick help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

I am using JB omega rom v. 56 with Boeffla kernel 5.1. When I am home and connected to wifi 'Android System' drains the battery extremely quick. It goes from 100% to 70% in one hour. And that's when I am not even unlocking it to check the time.

When I'm outside and not connected to wifi there's like 1% battery drain an hour.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hrishter:
There is an option where the phone will disable wifi when the phone is locked. It's worth a shot. FYI, if there is any background downloading or something when the phone is locked, it may use up mobile data, so be careful if you try that.

Try to flash a Stockrom via SD, this should reflash a Stock SPL. After that try hspl again
[HD2 General] eclyptos:
3.03 is uncompatible with many roms. Flash again 2.08 with HSPL4 from bootloader, it your HD 2 is Unbranded you should not have problem to flash Cotulla. Later remember to flash the Radio. I will post the right hspl for you later, maybe your files are compromised.

For the OP, search version 15.1.C.2.8, this is the latest version available for Xperia M single SIM, and it's Android 4.1. For Xperia M dual, there's no 4.1 build available, only 4.2.2, and the latest version is 15.2.A.2.5. Just search for an unbranded FTF and flash it to your phone using FlashTool. The firmwares are multilanguage, so, just find a FTF and flash to phone...

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballsofsteel:
You also get the new textured back but whether or not you prefer it depends on taste really.

The only downside when compared to the S4 is the increased size due to thicker bezels and larger screen. This is probably more than counterbalanced by the other upgrades though.

I think the reason I got rid of my gs4 was because it wasn't too user friendly, coming from an iPhone when everything was simplistic like easily taking a photo, etc.. I was always flashing custom Roms to try to make it better and get the stock aosp feel, and the size of the phone was hurting my hand at times. Now that I have the moto x I feel bored, I want to flash custom Roms and do kind of miss touchwiz a little. Overall the moto x is a great phone, out the box that you don't have to do anything to it, I just have it rooted because I love having viper4android and root apps. But I'm looking forward to getting a gs5 its just I would have to get it on at&t with BL locked....

I work for a company doing tech support and one of the problems we've ran into is that our employees are sending their old GS3 devices back to us after we upgrade them and we cannot get into them. When we get the phones back they are locked, encrypted, and off. Our policy is that we never ask employees for passwords so that if our employees get someone asking for a password, their natural response is to take a step back and refuse to share passwords.

So now we have probably 10+ USCellular GS3 devices that are locked and encrypted. Does anyone know a way to wipe these to factory settings w/o knowing the password?

Thanks!

WRONG

Ok (1)If anyone DIDN'T think this post was anything sinister, they sure as hell do now. Thanks man. (2) It makes no difference whether it is encrypted or not, i don't want the data off of it and that is the soul reason to encrypt a phone, to keep the data inside protected. (3) WE RIGHTFULLY OWN ALL OF THESE DEVICES but just cannot unlock them (4)Even if they were stolen, their MEID would be blacklisted and they would just be a glorified mp3 player that cannot be hooked up to a network.

This is not illegal, not even a little bit. Prove me wrong with data to support it buddy.....
