[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sputnik767:
Unless you want compatibility with Gear (which is not guaranteed) or think that 4.4.2 will fix some bug that's present in your current setup, the answer is that there is nothing substantially different. I am running official 4.4.2 on my Galaxy S4. Outside of the information bar icon color scheme and the fact that most apps can no longer access the SD card, nothing is better, faster, etc. It looks, feels, and performs exactly the same.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] commodorefork:
I guess I'm fortunate that I don't know what Gear is. :D

The only bug I'm having on 4.2.2 is the multi-window button disappearing sometimes even when the feature is turned on. Besides that, everything is working smoothly. ;)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] pakure:
The new update is important for

1. Trim is included in 4.3 onwards..makes your tab faster

2. Air command for s pen ...unleashes the power of the s pen

3. Less ram consumption and faster on kit kat

4. Blue tooth LE. ..faster and lower battery consumption

5. New flatter icons and UI....consume less system space....faster device

6. Support for gear devices

The cons...

1. Knox bootloader

2. Sd card read and write issues

Both these cons can be solved by rooting and Dev help on xda
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sputnik767:
You would think so, but I haven't noticed any changes. Perhaps Samsung is not implementing it.

There has not been any indication that we would get this feature. Chances are, we will not. If the Note 2 gets it, then perhaps, but if not, we're not getting it for sure. As far as I know, the Note 2 does not currently have Air Command.

While the first part is true, the latter is not. And Samsung is not including ART in their ROM as well.

Sure, but the bluetooth device would have to support it as well AFIK. In addition, we don't know if the bluetooth radio in our tabs is actually even capable of low energy. Since the hardware in our device is relatively old, it may not be capable and therefore not support Galaxy Gear. Looking at the Galaxy Gear info page, the Note 2 is not listed as being supported. Rumors say that Gear support is coming to the Note 2.

Maybe for stock Android, but TouchWiz is not changing.

Maybe. See above for bluetooth LE

1. Maybe

2. Yes. Android 4.4.2 blocks 3rd party app access to the SD card. Easily fixed, but needs root like you said.

In summary, everything that everyone is hoping the get with the update will likely not happen, either due to hardware incompatibility or Samsung's unwillingness. Chances are, this update will be just like the update for the S4...updated status bar color scheme, a little better UI for multiwindow, and a version number bump.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] pakure:
I have a note 2 with leaked Samsung 4.4.2... running the ditto note 3 rom v4RC2

I have all note 3 apps (including air command) and s5 apps (including ultra power saving mode) on it. :p:p:p:p:D:D:D

Compatible with gear and has blue tooth LE working well even on official 4.3 on the note 2

Trust me. .. with what i have said. .

Also Trim is in the official 4.3 for note 2... you can check the app on titanium back up

If we get 4.3.. we can get all note 3 apps. .including air command... by mod

Once we get the update. . We can ask the e team to make the custom rom or mods for us. .. just needs 10 days:D:D

External storage

How about the ability to move applications and data onto the SD card? This is a biggie for me! I am running several mapping applications where the maps need to be stored locally, and they take up all my internal storage. It would be nice to use that empty 32gb SD card I purchased for this thing!

Any quick and easy way to do the above from my whole phonebook on k750i, currently only seems to work for single contacts sent.

I think there is an option within the Bluetooth menus to send either a single contact or the whole lot.

Otherwise, install the Sony Ericsson software, synchronise your K750i with Outlook then synchronise your Wizard with Outlook through active sync.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stirius:
Hello,

when the tablet was in the charger with 1000 mAh and my GF was playing plant vs zombies 2, it was not enough and was dead in 2 hours. So I put there the official charger 1500 mAh but then still it was not enough and was dead again.

Right now I tried to turn off the Location, Wi-Fi and she is playing. But is this normal??? Jesus you should be able to play with all the functions turned on and in the charger, not???

Edit: so it was emptied again even with everything off...

Edit2: i will try the origin cable because I used a different one
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superhyper:
Did it show the charging icon while she was playing the game? I'm curious if it might be plugged but not recognizing that it should be drawing power from the charger...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
Because charging cables are differently wired, you MUST either use the original cable or a cable which is definitely known to have the same wiring as the original one.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trooper_Max:
Differently wired how? I didn't realize there were wiring differences, please elaborate if you can, feel free to get technical.

I tried plugging my Z2 Tablet into a USB cable from a powered hub (computer off though), which I've used to charge my phone and my Kindle, and I know it wouldn't have much power, but it wouldn't charge at all, no charging icon, nothing. I've had no trouble charging it with a dedicated charger though.

~Troop
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stirius:
So yes,

1. the charging icon is there

2. I even logged the history and during playing the plant vs zombies 2, the power is oscilating around +- the same level but still going down slowly as a trend

3. I tried today to get the power back to 25% and now I am charging it. I have the battery widget where it shows getting mA about 390 to 890 maximum. But even it is the original charger, original cable and the charger is 1500 mA it seems that the maximum level is 890???

Can someone else try Batter monitor widget what they get from it???

Edit:

It sucks. It announced even today DURING charging from the original charger and cable that the charging is not strong enough. Wtf?

Edit2:

Here they say it is charged under 3 hours. Not my case :-/ http://www.digitalversus.com/tablet/sony-xperia-z2-tablet-p19609/test.html
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stirius:
Ha, that is really funny. I am from the Czech Republic and called the Sony support. They forwarded me to Xperia support. At Xperia support the girl said that she cannot provide me exact information because official release date here is 8th of April so she doesnt have the manuals etc.

Then my type is 511E3 which she again was absolutely no aware what is the type because I should have 621 or maybe 521 but not 511. :D

So I can try the support line next week with the question how many mA should go to the tablet during charging.

But what she said was also that the charging time could be up to 6:20. But more than 6 hours? Maybe it was about the Z1 model? And also told me that playing games with the charger will still result in draining the battery. :confused::confused:

I need some other guys here who can test it with playing some games and check the mA during charging...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zpon:
I don't have a Z2, but just wanted to mention that cnet saw the same (no charge while playing) in their review: "[..] the tablet lost power even when it was plugged in to the mains" http://www.cnet.com/products/sony-xperia-z2-tablet/2/.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbarou:
I never experienced any of this. There's probably a problem with your unit.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stirius:
And have you tried to charge it during heavy playing of some game? Which game, how long?

Can you test how much mA are you getting from the charger inside the tablet (battery monitor widget can do this)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbarou:
I tried it yesterday playing "The Cave" for about 1 hour. Tablet was charging using a four port no name charger and a different cable the that the one provided.

I did not really check for anything , I just noticed the tablet got mildly hot.

I did not measure the current while playing, but I did earlier this week-end though.

I tested 3 chargers plus the provided one. A Galaxy S III charger, An ASUS TF300 and the 4-port no-name I used yesterday.

If I recall correctly I got around 0.9A from the GS3 and original charger and around 1.2A from the TF300 and 4-port ones.

I do some more thorough testing and let you know. I use a device on the charger output to measure how much current is coming through.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stirius:
How long do you guys charge the tablet? I started with about 19% and to full 100% it was like 7-8 hours. It was turned on without wifi (stamina mode). I will try to charge it while turned off but still it is strange...

I dont know. Battery life is ok but the charging sucks for me. Any ideas if it is just me?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
Yawn... Please use the charger and the cable which come with the device (which I bet my grandma on you didn't)! Other chargers or cable have either too low current or wrong wiring (which disables fast charging) or both.

The charging time over USB is 4-5 hours, like the first generation Tablet Z.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stirius:
Yawn, yawn, if you took a look then you would read from this topic that I use original cable and original charger.

If the battery is 6600 mA and charger 1500 mA then the minimum for charging is 4,3 hours approximately. And as I said my maximum charging is 890 mA. So either something is taking 600 mA during the charging or the charger is bad or the cable is bad or I dont know.

But if it is in the stamina mode and still the maximum charging is 890 mA then something is weird.

I am asking now for about 5 times. Could somebody test during charging how many mA is going into the tablet? (You can use Battery Monitor Widget from google play).

Neither Xperia support is able to give me clear answer because the Tablet was not officially released here (which is funny, I have it).

Thank you.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
Dude, then simply go and exchange the charger if it is faulty. No need to make long XDA threads out of that.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stirius:
Its not about charger. Or maybe it is. I want to know exactly how many mA are going to the tablet during charging. Nobody was able to give me the answer.It could be faulty charger, faulty cable, messy apps in the tablet (which I doubt) or whatever.

And Sony support, Xperia support is not able to give me clear answer to this. And also another guy in a review had similar problem. If we are in a Z2 Tablet topic then I supose that this is the right place to ask such questions... Not?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SANGER_A2:
You can't just do 6600 divided by 1500. You are losing current all over the place when charging. It will probably be at least 50% wastage in heat, resistance in the wires etc etc. Also, the charger may say it does 1500, but that is peak when it's brand new under perfect conditions and the internal components will age and become less efficient over time too.

If you are using the tablet for a game, it will be running the processor at max power and drawing lots of current and all the heat it generates from the cpu and the battery during this time is wasted energy don't forget. If you want to battery to charge, you will need a charger that provides enough current to power the tablet and another 1000ma or so on top of that to charge your battery.

I bet Sony will state somewhere that you can only use it for low power activities like watching videos while on the dock if you want the battery to charge.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brugobo:
My portable power meter seems broken so I cannot give you actual current draw measured in series. All I can do is paste output from Battery Monitor Widget.

All tests done with the official USB cable bundled with the tablet and screen ON at minimum brightness. Screenshots from Battery Monitor Widget.

Battery only: -721 mA (-10.79%/h)
Official charger (1500mAh): +719 mA (+10.76%/h)
PC USB3 port: -48 mA ( -0.71%/h)
No-name Chinese AndroidPC Charger
Model LA-520 (2000mAh): +1060 mA (+15.86%/h)
Energy Sistem K128 Charger (2100mAh): +960 mA (+14.37%/h)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stirius:
Thanks a lot!

So it just means that in general with the original charger you are able to get to 10-13% per hour. So in average usage 9 hours of charging, heh. I saw yesterday (have to check it at home) that I had also around 20% per hour.

But in general these figures are normal and the usage of a battery with a little bit more heavy tasks is not very good. And charging can take a LONG time. I tried to charge it while turned off and I think you can get there below 6 hours.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yonghong:
mm.after read all of reply above, it is quite weird that only get 800mah while using 1500mah support charging cable? Maybe can try better quality of cable and also the power source, it is very crucial to get that. I have try some trial and error with different cables and charging with my galaxy s3, i find that with good quality of cable, i managed to get 1000mah max , but if using with cheap cable or power bank, i only managed to get 400-800mah. even after a long time using the original s3 cable, it will reduce to only 600mah. So my advice is try charging with different cable and find the best cable to charge ur device, if it is 1500mah supported, so i think it should be support to 1500mah. Thank you.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brugobo:
No, it is not weird at all since the tests were done with the screen turned ON, draining half the power.

The first line, battery only, tells you how much the screen and semi idle state is draining, with brightness at minimum. Cranking brightness up to maximum increased an extra 2.5% per hour drain if I recall correctly.

Charging with screen off would be about 20% per hour, or 5 hours to fully recharge. More or less in line with what people is reporting.

Battery only: -721 mA (-10.79%/h)
Official charger (1500mAh): +719 mA (+10.76%/h)

So, 721+719= 1440 (+21%/h), pretty close to the rated 1500 for the charger.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jewelkobayashi:
Using Gsam battery monitor, my charge rate is between 700 to 800 mA

But what the charging current is while the screen is off, I also do not know.

Original charger and cable, and also using the DK39 magnetic dock.

Today, I watched a few movies back to back and battery drained to low 20% region. I put it on the dock and let it charge during the time I was having dinner. It went up by 10% only.

This is the first time I noticed this because always in the past charging was done as I was going to bed, and left there to charge, undisturbed until the morning.

I COULD HAVE SWORN THAT Z2 HAS FAST CHARGE TECH FROM QUALCOMM, THAT ALLOWS FULL CHARGE IN UNDER 2 HOURS?

ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER THIS BEING MENTIONED SOMEWHERE?

Quick charging via USB needs a compatible USB power adapter.

Have a look here: http://lygte-info.dk/info/usbPowerSupplyTestHow%20UK.html

Right at the end of the document, "USB Coding". Just read.

Z2 works nice with the (usually) white Samsung power adapter ETA-U90, the 2 A one. Provides up to 1,5 A if used at the USB port, full 2 A if used with the charging station DK39.

It seems you can hook just any powerful power adapter to the charging station, always delivering full power to the Z2. Charging is real FAST using the DK39 AND a capable power adapter.

If you use the USB port, you'll need a compatible power adapter to be able to quick charge.

AND: Use SHORT cables ! The longer the cable, the more time you'll need for charging.

The cable provided with the Samsung USB mains adapter is fine. Do NOT exchange that cable.
