[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
I guess the title says it all.

While I wait for my Z2 to be dispatched I'm interested in opinions of the phone for users who moved from the Note 2 with regards to the screen size, speakers and size of the phone.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numskull:
coming from a note 2 you're gonna think its tiny lol. my other phones a note 1 and altho theres only 0.1 inch difference in screen size the note seems a lot bigger, z2 is a lot more managable with one hand, size wise its about the same height as a note 1 but not as wide (portrait). Can't comment on the speakers as i got a bluetooth one and been using that, they seem clear, just not the loudest.... noise cancelling headphones seem really good but having said that its the only noise cancelling tech ive tried
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skip24ftlb:
Ive got the note 2 and the z2 sat at home waiting on a bumper case before using it. Size wise, if you lay the z2 on top of the note 2 there really isnt a lot in it. About 3mm narrower each side if that. It really surprised me. Screen... z2 blows the note 2 out of the water. Volume.. until I install my own ring tones im not prepared to comment. My own ringtones have been put thru a wave editor and had the db increased so at the moment the note 2 is louder but the z2 does sound great.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
i

about Spec u should compare Xperia Z2 with Note3

XZ2 is completely better than Note2 in specifications

BUT there s S-Pen (awesome function) that u cannot find on any other devices.

The Speakers of Z2 is stereo (2 speakers) But noteII was mono (if i m correct)

Xperia Z2 is tall but it s width is so nice and small

however xperia z2 height is because of 3200mAh battery & lots of more feature like bigger camera lens.

:good:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skip24ftlb:
Never bothered with the s pen
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
Thanks for you replies all.

Can't wait to get mine (hopefully mid May).

Have got all the accessories here waiting - screen protectors, magnetic charging cable, tpu case etc. Just need the phone now [emoji7]
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
Please can you keep my updated when you put your own ring tones on the Z2 to see how they compare to the N2...have got at least 3 weeks until I receive mine so look forward to any opinions to keep me going [emoji6]
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skip24ftlb:
Having transferred my ringtones and notification tones I'd say the z2 is fractionally louder. Though I think the sound from the z2 is also a fuller sound
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
Fantastic news, I find the speaker quality and volume to be excellent on my Note 2 so guess I'm going to be very happy with the change to the Z2

[Samsung Gear 2] CarbonWyre:
Some of us have it, some don't. This seems to be a NON Samsung device thing.

Right now what is happening is at first install Notifications DO NOT need ATNManager to forward them, they work just find with only gear manager. But after some time and a couple notifications (changes on case to case basis) notifications will just stop forwarding. Every now and then they will come back, if you're lucky.

I've been screwing around with ATNManager after finding a bug (posted here) and found that clearing the cache for the app fixed it. I could forward 1 notification before I had to reset cache on ATNManager.

I applied the same idea to the Gear Manager app (not Connection Manager or Gear2 or any of the other) and my notifications magically started working again. Both had a cache size of exactly 68.00kb.

I hear there is an australian Gear Manager that fixes this issue, but I can't install Samsung Apps to download actual updates so I can't install it to test. If someone can get that version of the Gear Manager can you please post the APK?
[Samsung Gear 2] mpogr:
When I read the title of your post this morning, I thought "what the heck he's talking about?". That was after my notifications worked flawlessly for ~10 hours in a row. Then, a couple of hours later, they stopped. Now I understand exactly what you're talking about.

I did try clearing Gear Manager cache (and not Connection Manager or anything else this app installs). It didn't help.I didn't have ATNManager installed, as I didn't need it before. Should I try to start messing around with it?

EDITED:

I figured out rebooting the phone brings the notifications back. That's a good enough solution for me at this point of time...
[Samsung Gear 2] CarbonWyre:
Did you clear then reset or just reset?
[Samsung Gear 2] mpogr:
Just reboot did the trick.
[Samsung Gear 2] hg10163:
It's getting quiet here. For me a reboot doesn't always help. Clearing the Cache doesn't help as well. Sometimes there is actually no way to get the notifications working.
[Samsung Gear 2] mpogr:
Hey mate, read the new version of the guide, for me notifications have been working ever since.
[Samsung Gear 2] hg10163:
Hey there! Are you talking about this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2723862 ?
[Samsung Gear 2] mpogr:
Yep, that one.
[Samsung Gear 2] hg10163:
Hi. This won't help. Notifications stop whenever they want and there is no reliable way of reactivating them. Sometimes reconnecting within GearManager may help, sometimes rebooting the phone. Sometime nothing at all helps - even not clearing caches, etc.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephumuris:
I've flashed the new Vodafone Germany 20B rom, with this rom you can't access recovery/rteset mode. Rom booted but is stuck in a mass of force closes. I can't factory reset as i can't get through the menus. ADB can't find the device... Any ideas at all?

Pretty dsure a factory reset would fix it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
You should be able to use the stock bootloader Factory reset.

Power off by holding the power button down for about 15 secs. Hold the power button and Vol down until the LG logo appears, then release both briefly and press both again. Follow the on-screen instructions.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephumuris:
Read my post again :P Unfortunately that button combo doesn't work anymore on this update. I tried multiple button combinations with no luck.

In the end i downgraded to a Jellybean KDZ, still got the force closes but this time i could reset using the button combo. Then updated to the German Voda release.

Just a warning for anyone updating to it... Make a full factory reset/data wipe first or you may end up in my situation!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
Read your post again - sorry can't see any reference to hardware/physical buttons.

Anyhow - glad you sorted it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astd:
Hi,

In last week I got very strange behavior on my G2.

It started with knock on didn't worked as it should be and stuck few times and continued with strange notification bar behavior.

When I am trying to pull the notification bar down it sometimes stops at the middle of the screen and get back up, it takes few tries but at the end it is working.

I thought it is software problem and tried to do factory reset and flashed different roms but those problems are still exist.

I don't have any screen protector so that's option out too.

Any idea what the problem can be? I don't have any warranty and I am curious if anyone got this before and maybe there is a solution before I will go and get screen replacement.

Thanks for any help you can give.
[GiONEE Elife E7] simmer14:
Hello

well i also faced this issue,if ur not aware of it then let me explain a liitle.. if you have upgraded to the latest version via OTA then there are some patch files in the system which do this trick.. so in order to get permanent recovery if u flashed it via ur phone with apps like flashify or recovery tools then you need to go to

System and there you will see a file with name Recoveryfromboot.p just delete that file and flash chinese cwm and ur done :]

btw i'll try to build the english cwm as soon as i get some free time.. thanx to burakgon for releasing the kernel sources..
[GiONEE Elife E7] 1manshow:
Thanks simmer14, works perfectly after removing that file from system. So that confirms it's not bootloader lock issue. No idea why custom kernels and twrp not working then?
[GiONEE Elife E7] simmer14:
i will build the cwm for our phone but i'm not getting any time to sit in front of my pc :'(

edit :

custum kernels are not working ? did you tried to compile one from the sources ? or the sources are not complete ?

I didn't tried to compile anything, but some guys did here -

[Samsung Gear 2] CarbonWyre:
Over at TizenExpect they mentioned that Australia got a gear manager update that removes the notification problem. Anyone with a Sammy device (I don't have one) care to go through those steps and post the APK?

http://www.tizenexperts.com/2014/04...y-note-3-not-working-with-samsung-gear-2-neo/
[Samsung Gear 2] mpogr:
Mate, I'm in Australia, just came back from a Telstra store. They had a pair of S5 and Gear 2 on display for everyone to play. So I went into Samsung App store on the S5 and downloaded the latest version of Gear Manager (being on Telstra network, it should have brought the Australian version of it). The app version was 2.0.14041404 and it was dated Apr 18th, which seems to be identical to the latest listed here. I've already tried this one in the past and it didn't work with my One M8, throwing "Parsing Error" after trying to connect it to my Gear 2 Neo. So I doubt it would cure your troubles, but you're welcome to give it a go (if you haven't done that already).

I was also interested to see how the overall experience of Gear 2 looks like on proper Sammy devices compared to what I've already seen on my One M8. After installing the Gear Manager on the S5, I reset the Gear 2 and connected them afresh. The additional software installation was handled silently (no pop-ups), unlike the way it was done on my One M8. After the connection was accomplished, I spotted 2 additional tabs in the Gear Manager (S-Health and Samsung Apps). Under S Health, you can set up the way steps/HR/sleep info is synched with S-Health app on the phone. Under Samsung Apps, you can download additional apps to the Gear.

The most interesting was to see the differences under Notifications settings. There are 3 sections for different kinds of notifications there on my One M8:

Instant alerts for Gear. This one has only "Incoming call" listed on my M8, but on S5 it has also "Alarms" and "Messages" listed

Notifications for Gear apps. This one is populated after you install some 3rd party apps for the Gear.

More notifications: everything else. By marking "Gmail", "Messages" and "Mail", I made notifications from those appear with my M8 setup. But this is just a workaround and, in any case, it doesn't work with Alarms.

On S5, there is an additional section, "Notifications from Samsung applications", which is where Email, for example, appears. I guess this is the proper way of setting it up on a proper Samsung device.

Overall, my impression is we're missing out way too much trying to use Gear 2 with non-Samsung devices. As much as I like my One M8, this makes me think of ditching it for an S5...
[Samsung Gear 2] CarbonWyre:
I sadly don't have that option. So as much as I'd love to convert over to the S5 and have this work beautifully with it, I have to keep working on it from my side.

I also receieve the parsing error and have yet to figure out a solution, maybe it's a response from Samsung to stop all of us non Sammy users. Either way, I'm sure the wonderful minds on here will figure something out.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Starcruiser1229:
Are you trying to charge the battery from the computers usb (or a 3'rd party usb wall adapter?) if so, this will not charge a completely dead battery. Try plugging it in to the usb wall charger that came with the device. This may help to charge the battery. Let me know if it works, or if you have any other questions....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] victoradjei:
You may need external charging

Charging of these batteries is controled by in-built circuit, so when it is discharged extremely low, it is very difficult to start charging.

Try leaving on charge for several hours or days and see if it starts charging. If it fails and you have no option to return it or buy replacement immediately, you may try to locate the polarity and use an external charger of same spec as reccommended for a few minutes and then continue charging in the wizard.

Someone did it here on the forum. You may want to search :roll:

[Sony Xperia M] Trppmdm:
I posted a topic some weeks earlier, but it derailed fast and then died out.

Anyway, is there a way to add the CRT effect using some .zip that is flashable through root explorer or CWM? Is there a way without Xposed?
[Sony Xperia M] rizla2:
What's wrong with Xposed?
[Sony Xperia M] Trppmdm:
I like my OS to be as minimal as possible... Installing some Xposed app for that CRT effect isn't what I would like.

Anyway, please stop derailing!
[Sony Xperia M] rizla2:
AFAIK, there is no other method to get crt effect on stock 4.3 for xperia m. There might be some 4.3 roms that have that effect, but you will have to check that out yourself. Or you can wait until someone makes a mod for it.
[Sony Xperia M] Trppmdm:
Hm :\

Well, just curious: how do you install Xposed with GravityBox? Preferably link me to a thread, because I don't see any thread on these forums related to Xposed.
[Sony Xperia M] paper13579:
No no no. You install xposed framework and from there you can get gravitybox
[Sony Xperia M] rizla2:
It's pretty simple, you download and install xposed installer and then, using that app, you install framework to your phone. Reboot, and then you download gravitybox for jb from xposed installer(it has sort of download centre that allows you to easily find and download modules), install it, activate module in xposed installer and reboot your phone. Then you can modifxy whatever you want with that gravitybox app, most things dont require reboot to apply changes, but some of them do. FYI, you can also try xblast tools module if you don't like gravitybox for changing screen off effect.

xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v2-9-1-tweak-box-android-t2316070

Don't be scared with warnings that gravitybox needs aosp roms to work, it works fine on stock xperia rom.
