[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IvIush:
So, I've been using this video to try and root my Nexus 7. This is my first Android device, and it's not going well.

I've been using the tutorial from "nexus7root.com"

To attempt a root, and I don't have any problems, no errors or anything. Everything goes pretty smoothly, until the end. The first time, it installed and there was a notification about SU permissions being granted, but a root checker said it wasn't properly rooted. Tried to open SuperSU and it said "There is no SU binary..".

So I thought, alright, I'll go back into recovery mode and install the file again. Again, went smoothly but this time when my Nexus booted up, SuperSU was gone.

I could really use some help getting this going properly....

EDIT: FIXED MYSELF
[General Questions and Answers] DivyaMamgai:
From the title it is clear what I want to achieve so I would just get down to business here, I found the android bootable recovery sources from here [For JB] View Sources { https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bootable/recovery/+/jb-release }

There are so many file in there, and I know that to get the recovery files I need to compile the recovery.c but I think that's quit not all of it? I want to know that how should I compile this recovery, no matter how simple it is, I just want to create my own open source recovery. That's why I need to know how to compile the recovery from the sources like this.

Thanks in Advance!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASMI1:
hey guy,

last month my note screen starts to flicker for seconds and then the phone shuts down by itself, this happens when the battery life is about 10%.

My battery is a little bit swollen so i thaugh it's a battery problem.

Now after i bought a new battery for 30DT (~19USD) the problem presist; the screen starts flickering at the level of ~ 30% then the phone shuts down and when i click the power boutton it wont start, so i pluged it to the wall charger and when it boots to the TW UI the status bar indicate 0%.

After this, the (new) battery keeps charging until 100%

so my question is: is this problem related to the battery, the wall charger or the phone itself?

why the phone does not show me the low battery warning and does not show me the sammy logo before it shuts down?

this is really weird guys since my battery still one day old!

please tell how to solve this problem or at least from where it comes!

thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FabreFaction:
There are only two occasions where I have experienced anything like what you are describing:

1. when I had a bad battery (read dying battery, fine after I replaced it).

2. when there is less than 4% battery remaining on my N7000.

My guess is that you may have bought a bad battery.

Can you swap your battery with a friends for a day or so to see if you have the same problem???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASMI1:
good news

good news bro, this morning i flashed stock gb 2.3.6 jpla1; the battery drained little bit fast but when it went down to 10% the low battery warning popped up!! so i plugged the phone to the charger and it starts charging normally...is this a good sign?

what i know is that lithium batteries don't require any calibration or it's just jb (stock jplsb)??

here are the screenshots:

btw thanks for your reply ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FabreFaction:
My compliments on your English by the way, you write far better than a lot of English people.

Right, so the plot thickens.....

Was your previous ROM ICS or JB and was it a Samsung stock image or a custom ROM based on stock?

Stock ICS and JB were notorious battery drainers.

GB was much better with battery drain.

So it's no surprise you're seeing slower drain with GB.

But that doesn't answer the question of the abnormal drain on your Note.

Start with resetting your battery stats in recovery mode.

You're right about the battery not specifically needing calibration, but sometimes the Note gets a little confused about the battery level and doesn't seem to read it correctly.

I have reset the battery stats before when my battery has done odd things, it generally helps.

It's best to charge fully then reset the stats in recovery and let it settle for 2-4 hours (you can still use the Note while the battery is settling).

The battery indicator will show a massively reduced % after resetting the stats, and then the % will creep up as you use it - which is an interesting phenomenon to observe!!

Once the battery has settled, let the battery drain down to 20% at least before you charge it fully again.

This should fix any problems your Note has reading the correct charge level from the battery.

It's a while since I've used CWM (which I'm assuming you're using for recovery with GB), I think the battery reset is in the advanced settings, it's pretty obvious when you find it. (I've been using TWRP for too long to remember where things are in CWM!!!).

Then I would seriously consider installing Better Battery Stats (It is free to XDA users from the XDA thread).

Take a look at the BBS thread, there are numerous instances of devices with abnormal battery drain because of partial wakelocks etc.

Post your logs on the BBS thread and ask for help.

The experts on that thread are awesomely helpful.

The next steps are a little more drastic, e.g. replacing your USB daughter board and battery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASMI1:
really?? oh forgive me if i made some mistakes because English is not my first language (Frensh is my second language and English is the third :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASMI1:
It was stock JB jplsb 4.1.2 for UAE rooted by Philz kernel.

I will wait for the battery to fully discharge and if the screen starts to flicker again i will try to follow your advice!

again thanks bro, i really appreciate your help :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FabreFaction:
No worries.

I was being genuine about your English, it is better than a lot of natives.

Three languages, wow.

I know English.... and a few computer languages... Not quite the same.

You can be proud of your English its pretty awesome.

You didn't make any mistakes I could spot, and I used to be an English teacher!!

P.S. it was only the French screen shots that made me think English might not be your first language.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASMI1:
Oh thank you sir, you embarrassed me :o

I've been studying French and English since I was 8 years old (now I am 20) because ,here in Tunisia, French and English are very important.

Maybe I can speak English but it's too formal :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FabreFaction:
That was a bit formal, e.g. the thank you sir.

Your other posts were not formal and very conversational.

Exactly what I would expect in this forum.

Seriously, your English is great.

No need to be embarrassed about the things you are great at.

20 years old and speaking three languages, wow.

I'm 42 and can just about get by in English :)

Have fun :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASMI1:
ok, i get your point...thanks again :)

best regards :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakshithaw:
Hi and thanks in advance for your time.

I was on Vengence ROM (MIUI) and Philz kernel until 2 days ago when I suddenly developed a taste for some Kitkat. So I flashed the RawKernel and Mokee rom, following the instructions given on the ROM page.

Initial boot was ok, then I recovered some apps from Titanium Backup, installed Xposed modules and got about my usual work. After a while, I realized the phone would automatically turn off. This was not the usual shutdown process which takes several seconds, when i press the power button to turn the screen off, i found the phone would never wake up, it had shut down.

Then I wanted to reflash the ROM or recover my previous ROM from an image. When I tried to do either, the recovery would just shut down.

Then I tried to flash with ODIN, first the stock rom and then Darky ROM 3.4 RE. Flashing process works fine, the stock rom never boots beyond the samsung logo. DarkyROM loads but in about 5 seconds, it shuts down, without any warning.

I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions / solutions are greatly appreciated

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] HarpingOn:
This case I ordered with the tablet and it has been in it from the start. I like this case.

Tablet in case, closed

The case will z fold for a stand. Ridges in the inside prevent slipping

Case open on desk

Closer up on z fold

Case will roll up stand too. I don't think this is as secure, but may allow it to be in dock. I don't have a dock to test it.

Case has a cut out to enable dock use without removing the case. I don't yet have the official dock, but it fits in my third party one I use for my Z1 phone

Case closed. Is very thin.

The tablet clips at the corners, securely but not too firm. All ports, flaps and buttons are perfectly accessible. Here are the corner clips.

The case closes with a thin magnetic flap, and of course it's a smart cover to cut down on power button wear.

I like it. Not looking for another one.

Happy to answer any questions.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] adypem:
I ordered the case with my tablet too, my only gripe is that the headphone socket is on the bottom of the tablet so when the case is used as a stand in the most stable setting you can't plug headphones in!!!

The box shows a triangle fold to allow space for the headphones but it doesn't feel as steady, why oh why did Sony put the headphone socket on the bottom long edge of the tablet??? Why not on the same side as the volume and power buttons?:confused::confused::confused:
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] HarpingOn:
Ah. I have bluetooth receivers in my hi fi at home, and I use bluetooth apt-X headphones so I never even noticed where the headphone socket was on the tablet.

I don't actually see how you could plug headphones in at all with the tablet in this case when using the landscape stand
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] adypem:
I've got the noise cancelling ones that use the tablet to do the noise cancelling, there's a picture on the box that the case comes in to show how it's meant to be but it means the tablet sits higher so isn't as stable :mad:
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] Stirius:
You can switch it upside-down, hm?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] bbarou:
Some apps still insists on setting the orientation themselves and won't rotate 180°.

So yeah it sucks that the jack is at the bottom...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] HarpingOn:
There are orientation apps that will allow you to force 180
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] adypem:
:mad: Shouldn't need an app, the socket should have been on the side.............
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] fleckdalm:
I have just received the case but I'm not really happy with it!

The magnetic shutter always covers the infrarot port so that it's unusable. In addition to that, when the case is closed and im holding it vertically in my hands, the magnet is not strong enough and the case opens. I also have problems with the charging dock, I always have to open the case and put the back aways in order for it to suit in the dock, this is really stupid! What is your experience with this points?

I also find it relatively heavy and thick, the tablet doesn't lay as good in my hands as before...

Regards

Fleckdalm
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] HarpingOn:
The magnetic flap folds flat against the back of the case and holds itself out of the way of you need it to. At least it does on mine.

Yep, for the dock you do have to have the cover folded over, so that's how I do it. It's only in the dock when I'm asleep so not much of a problem.

If I hold the tablet with the case closed I can get the front to slip, the closing flap isn't that strong. It hasn't popped open in my bag so I've not worried about it so far.

I think it's just the right thickness. There is a full plastic tray for the tablet to sit in for rigidity.

At the end of the day, cases are ultra personal. I've been lucky with this Sony Style case, it suits me fine. I've still not found the perfect case for my xperia Z1, and I've tried all the ones that others think are great :)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] d10brp:
I've ordered one for my tab but I'm not looking forward to it all that much. The front-only cover on my Nexus 10 was almost perfect (would have been perfect if it was foldable).

I haven't actually received my Z2 yet but do any of you think a front-only cover is achievable? Based on what I have seen in pictures, my guess is no
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] UKBRIT:
What were they thinking

Seriously why oh why put the headphone jack at the bottom of a device meaning you can't use it in a cover stand when on the move or in a public place and need to use earphones. It's a serious design flaw.

Can anyone post pics of their tab in the case and with headphones in? I've just ordered the official case. I live the tab and bought it knowing the headphone was in the worst place possible but hoping in a case and using with earphones that it's not that unstable. Anyone confirm!?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] Jeddix:
There is a hole for headphones at the bottom left of the official case. So there shouldn't be anything to worry for you.

Edit: Unless you really want to stand the tablet with headphones plugged in. Theoretically there ist one position where you can let the headphone jack plugged in but I can't get this position to stay stable.

But if the case is closed or only open on the front there is no problem with headphones.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] tumpin:
Does this case add much weight?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] UKBRIT:
Great official case

I take it all back. The official case is perfect to use with headphones in 2 positions. It is light and feels sturdy in both positions say when on a train or flight. It's also light and doesn't add bulk.

I'm certainly pleased with the case. It does what I need it to while watching movies on the go and when I want to rest the case on a flat surface.

A corner tab on my case snapped cleanly off! Sony asked me to send it to their official repair centre!

That was two weeks ago. I only used the case twice and was always gentle:(
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] ofiaich:
Update to this...

The official Sony Repair Centre - SBE LTD FREEPOST NAT19593 Ashford Kent TN23 7BR have returned my case and their packing of it left a lot to be desired.

It now has ink marks on it, and another corner has broken off, and SBE Ltd say they do not support Sony Tablet Repairs.

Total waste of time! They suggest I call Sony on +44 8705 237 237 ! Now waiting for them to investigate.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] kbroh:
Interesting... I've had mine for weeks without an issue... Hopefully it was just a bad luck... If the plastic snaps like that, it looks like the plastic under pressure and heat together made it snap...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] troon95:
Is this case waterproof?

I mean, can i use the tablet with the case on the swimming pool?

I ask that because some leather imitation materials can get damaged if they wet
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] ofiaich:
Kbroh! Not so interesting for me! Sony say they will escalate the issue.

I never put the case under unnecessary pressures or subjected it to heat!

Still waiting on Sony :(
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] Felborn:
It's a rubbery feel to it, not imitated leather. Can't see any issues with it getting wet.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] ofiaich:
Hi Kbroh!

no progress on this due to Sony at +44 8705 237 237 complete failure to communicate and to understand the problem.

19/06 Nkieri of Sony Support tells me to send to SBE their main repairers even though I said it cannot be repaired.

SBE send it back with a short note saying they do not support Sony Tablet Repairs and furthermore there are ink stains on the Premium Cover and another corner has snapped off because the Premium Cover was not protected by the foam insert that I had packaged with it.

04/07 called again and spoke with Sean Smith at Sony and he asked me to send photos and a copy of the original invoice. Call lasted 15 minutes.

08/07 called again and Jack Hurst of the Sony Escalation Team sent an email asking for my address so they can search for what happened. I gave it again but said it was on the original invoice and I had sent a copy on the 4th. I sent another copy of the invoice plus the 2 photos. Call lasted 12 minutes.

15/07 called again and asked to speak with Jack Hurst and nobody knew where he was! I was promised a call back... 2 days later nothing...

That call lasted 12 minutes...

17/07 called again and spoke with Emma. She kept talking about the tablet being faulty and I had to repeat 3 times it is the Premium Cover.

I said again that I had now sent a copy of the invoice and photos twice... call lasted 26 minutes...

Emma has told me that Gregor will call me before 4,00pm today....

I explained that I travel to Japan on Tuesday 22/07 and need to take my Z2 Tablet and it needs to be protected by a Premium Cover..

...I will look for the Sony Community site and post this there too..

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] kbroh:
Hey Ofiaich!

That's ridiculous!! That's the worse customer service Ive seen in a long time...and what's sad is that Sony is making a big deal over a $50 case. Its costing them more money by using their representatives time with you then just replacing it! Ahh this frustrates me!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] ofiaich:
Called again today and was promised a call back but nothing...

I am tempted tp find the name of the managing director of Sony UK and write and complain.

Does anyone know whether this case will fit on the original tablet z?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] Chefproll:
You may answer your question yourself: Will a suit taylor-made for you also fit someone with a completely different figure ?

Of course not. ;)

Ofiaich: That's absolutely typical for that highly competent Sony support. Your experience seems to be no exception - but the rule. :(
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] adielee:
Was more after someone who may have tried a hard case designed for the XTZ2 for the XTZ. The only difference which would matter for this case is that the original XTZ is 0.5mm thicker.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] Chefproll:
That exactly is the point: That clips at the corners fix the tablet against the case's backplane. It's an absolutely snug fit, leaving no gaps at all, solid as a rock. That tight fit would be compromized if trying to squeeze even a slightly thicker tablet into the case: Clips cannot snap into place, cannot fix the Z to the case.

Result: Your tablet will come off at just every occasion, making friends with the floor. :(

Just got this case, unfortunately I was too late as my cat scrawled a nice mark on my screen! So pissed off now!!!

Edit, I could try warranty option but I think it is quite obvious its not a 'defect'. The scratch was so deep it has resulted in a hair thin line with dead pixals!!!! As for warranty I was told scratch resistant.. ( spare me the cat resistant reply!)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] ofiaich:
Still no resolution from Sony on my issue.

They say it has been escalated, and then they say the Premium Cover is a different department and even talk about parts!!

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] meteor999:
On the case. It does add bulk in my opinion. However I have dropped the tablet too many times that in my view it is worth it. I do like that when I'm lying on my bed or seat I can have it looking at me thus freeing up my hands. I should mention that the weight is not the case itself but the fact that the front cover kinds hangs thus pulling your hands down. A good example is taking pictures or video; you have this big thing hanging off the back. I myself will stick with the case purely because I can't trust myself. If I could trust myself then I would go case free.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] wintermute000:
defo adds noticeable bulk, no more one handed browsing, but having a stand is nice (more tabs need to steal the microsoft surface kickstand idea).

I roll naked @ home, but I put the case on when I'm out.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] ngvuanh:
I have a case (poetics) for Z model which I sold. I just got Z2 (Verizon) and it fits perfectly to Z case even though the cuts for ports are different.

Sony's statement on why it was discontinued seems to be this -

"Sony's statement on the BKC50 Bluetooth Keyboard with Tablet Cover Stand

We regret to inform you that we are stopping the global launch of BKC50. The background is that the closing magnet had to be removed as it affected the sleep mode/wake up function of the tablet, which consequently implied a risk that tablet would fall out when carried. This decision is fully aligned within SOMC top management. We are looking into a potential back-up solution and will inform you as soon as we have more clarity about this.
