I had tried it so far so good.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mobile88:
Thanks for the headsup

It is working fine too for me
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Good to know... Im just about to flash a new rom :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] arlmsk:
thank u for the info, will try it tonight
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
booted and everything setup ...no issues. It runs like ..it runs as it should or whatever :laugh:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] f2:
I ditched CM a while ago because of their horrible battery life... Did this change since I left?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
There's not much of a difference between sony roms or cm roms these days from my experience.. but yes cm rom has a bit worse battery life.

Slimkat is probably the only cm based rom that provides good battery life. The only downside is that the rom doesn't have the function: "quick access ribbon" in notification drawer, only stock quick access :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] atrix2:
Tested,don't like cm,especially that trebuchet launcher,look hideous.

Wait for GPe 4.4.3
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
you can download some other launcher :o, I like apex its been my favorite since 2011
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] atrix2:
Yea,I did like google now launcher,but the setting got too much thing I don't like.

so just back to gpe 4.4.2 :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] madphone:
Good news! One question: is the new google dialer working on it?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
uhm I don't have any force close or anything from the app if that's what you asking? :confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] golfinggino:
just flashed this and it is running great thanks for the ROM !!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jasonyu007:
I found the phone call do not support landscape . it is FC ,if screen under landscape .
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sonyu:
Flashed it the day it was released. Working great, no issues so far! I won't use it tho. >.<

Battery life however is horrible. CM used to be close to the offical stock ROM in terms of battery life. It's worse than it was previously!

Still looking for a good ROM.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
huh? I turned my phone over and it doesn't rotate the dialer? Or do you mean while you're in a call conversation?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jasonyu007:
No , I mean turn my phone dialer under landscape mode , the dialer is FC immediately .
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
okay.... Im at the office and my phone is sucking battery like a vacuum pump!!! :crying::crying:

I've had the charger off for 56 minutes and I'm already down to 79%

This is bad. This is really bad. I have gsam installed but don't have enough data yet to tell whats sucking the battery out

My screen wont rotate in the dialer? I also tried the people app.. it does rotate. I rotated it back to potrait mode and no force close..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tdamocles:
Same here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] madsponge26:
im waiting for this but .. the downside is battery drain. iL wait for the fix.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FiretoFlames:
I don't have any internet connection on my newly activated LG Optimus G E970. I have it on the Metro PCS Network. I can make calls and send texts but no internet. The Phone is unlocked but I'm not sure what the issue is. Any suggestions on how to fix this??
[Xperia Z2 General] monsieur_debile:
Hey, i am wondering if it would worth it to upgrade my XZ to Z2

I dont really mind about specs overall, only battery life improvement does matter.

The other thing which i would be afraid, its size of Z2, its sightly bigger than Z

I remember i have compared my XZ to a Note 2 from friend and size difference was not that huge despite of 5''5 Note 2 screen size.

Yes indeed size difference between Z and Z2 would be ridiculously thigh

But i dont want to follow the race of ''most biggest smartphone each year''

2013, 5 was standard

2014, 5''2

2015 like mostly 5''5 (LG already made it for G3)

I hope further Xperia model would have reasonable size (around 5 would be perfect if they can reduce bezels, they might actually put 5 on 4''5)

cheers,
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
i did it, and i have to say. battery life is awesome!

The Size difference from Z2 to Z is not that big, you don't realy feel it in the pants.
[Xperia Z2 General] romeokk:
I used to use Note 2 then XZ then Z2.

For the battery life, my daily normal usage on Xperia Z would leave battery at red level (less than 14%) at the end of the day. However, on Z2, I always have more than 50% at the end of the day with the same usage.

For the size, of course Z2 is bigger but its not that significant since Z2 maintains its waistline at 8.2 mm while XZ is 7.9. However when compared to Note 2, I think its, not a lot but also not a bit, quite more handy.

The only thing I see that XZ is better than Z2 (excluding minor bugs that would be solved later) is that when you are babling on Z2, it would not pick any of your words at all. One you are talking to will think your are being silence.
[Xperia Z2 General] Ryland Johnson:
I owned the original Xperia Z and at the time it broke into many new areas of technology. I found the phone to be superb. A family member now has it. The Z was heavily criticised for 'viewing angles'. I NEVER understood that? WHO looks at their phone from a 45degree angle? Never mind.

From memory I think the battery life on the Z

may

last longer than on the Z2? Don't shoot me, I don't know. I have only owned the Z2 for nearly a week. Size wise the Z2 is larger BUT not significantly. Both are very well made and function well. Both have their little foibles but then so do we owners. The specification of the Z2 leaves the original Z dead in the water in nearly every aspect.

As I so often write here, no one can choose a mobile for you. The right mobile for you is the mobile that fulfils your daily requirements. Massive choice now with several different UI and OS not to mention construction materials and size etc.

I hope what ever your purchase will be the mobile for you. Good luck. :highfive:

Ryland
[Xperia Z2 General] cimbomege:
Hi ! I had Xperia Z like you. I bought Xperia Z2 this week. I had same questions on my mind like you. A bit bigger size of Z2 worried me too. But I can say that it's tolerable. My hand quickly adapted to it. Battery is significantly better when compared to my old Z. I think i can use it without charging for two days :) I had to charge my old Z once a day. And screen and camera is significantly better. I advise you to give a chance to new Xperia Z2.
[Xperia Z2 General] guhvanoh:
Like most have reported in this thread, I also had the Z. I've passed it on to a niece and now have the Z2. Why, because I wanted it. I did rationalize it as a pre-birthday present tho...
[Xperia Z2 General] Ryland Johnson:
"A pre-birthday present"!? I like that, I shall borrow that line. :highfive:

Ryland :laugh:
[Xperia Z2 General] OAlbalooshi:
i didn't think about switching from Z to Z2 too cause to me they both seem a bit similar, but my carrier contract was ended and they contact me saying if id like to get a new cellphone, so i got it and it was awesome. the size is a bit bigger and the battery performance is like 200% better

its a great switch, i recommend that you get it
[Xperia Z2 General] colacin:
I think the difference in size is noticeable, personally. I really like the size of the Z better.

The screen, battery life, camera, and hardware camera shutter button are big improvements for the Z2

I don't think the Z2 feels any faster for normal use so the spec bumps in hardware don't make as much of a difference. I don't game on it at all.

The power button is not as large or positive-feeling on the Z2. Not a show stopper, but noticeable.

I don't like the KK firmware with the Home button takeover and the two-tabbed notification page. I preferred the older JB interface. It seems like the KK interface in general is much less dense - less information in a larger space for all elements. I don't see the point in that - there is a 5.2 in screen and you leave it mostly as empty space?

If I had a Z I wouldn't pay full price for the Z2 - I would at least wait for the next one. If it's cheap on contract and you sell off the Z, I'd say go for it.
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Btw, I prefered the volume buttons on the Z, they're just strange on the Z2!
[Xperia Z2 General] gerickjohn:
I agree on this. Out of the Z, Z1 or Z2, I prefer the Z's volume rockers.
[Xperia Z2 General] styxter:
Just got my z2 yesterday as I can tell better screen, sound, picture quality and battery life than my beloved z. But I like z's design than z2 cause of the size, ratio and color matches. But its time to let go bye bye z.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNYXIx:
So I just spent 5...yes 5 hours tring to root my HTC desire 601. After many img files that failed and lastly a CWM for a 4,2,2....i was told (somewhere mixed in google and my open tabs) that I need it for 4.2.2 .... I finally got the phone to boot up in a LOOKS LIKE I DID THE RIGHT STEPS menu "philz_touch_6.12.8-zara.img" but it gave me Status 7...hence the question which CWM do i need.

It's a HTC Desire 601. And.Ver.4.4.2

so far the only thing that has worked for me is using this method...(well obviously it didnt work but i saw progress)

[Sony Xperia C] coliveiradots:
Hello friends,

I am very sorry to have bought the Xperia C, can not receive messages or more, my memory is full and I'm very sad.

I've tested a lot tutorials to swap, I've done via script, but it did not work, I tried the 2 External and internal also failed.

Now I feel like an idiot for buying this phone.

Someone already managed to do this procedure?
[Sony Xperia C] TacoNikky:
There is a chinese procedure for that. They were successful on 16.0.A.0.47 version of Xperia C.

I share the link with you, you try :good:

Link is on my second post
[Sony Xperia C] bassil_zein:
Just Tap this Link And You Will Know How :) This will 100% Work >>>>>>>> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2767650
[Sony Xperia C] TacoNikky:
What I mean is different. If you have 16gb memory card, you will have 16gb internal storage in this way. Just do it as in the link. You can use google translate to understand that page.

[Sony Xperia C] coliveiradots:
Thanks guys, I'm hoping to get the mail my 16GB memory card, I'll try this Chinese method.

Thank you, you are beginning to change my view of this device.

Thanks to all

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dorupero:
Sorry guys for this annoying question that you guys probably faced. But I actually looked and researched for the solution, because it was different from mine. I even replaces my vibrating motor, but it still isn't working. I don't know what the problem is. I reset my phone like 10 times, of course tried different roms (My phone's rooted by the way), I tried everything in the settings. I don't know what the problem is, so if there is a post that fix this problem or if anyone knows the solution to this, that would be great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
What is your actual problem. You've said what you've tried but not whats happening. I assume you mean the vibration/haptic feedback isnt working. And if you have tried multiple roms then all i could suggest is a full ODIN to stock otherwise its a hardware problem. And if you replaced the motor already then its probobly deeper
[Nexus 7 General] 02sonicblue:
I have looked high and low for a way to turn on my Nexus7 without using the power button while it is in sleep mode.

The reason is because i am putting my tablet in my 2002 Mustang GT to replace the stock radio. Once installed , the power, and volume buttons are no longer accessible. I have bought an AMP and use the remote volume knob to adjust the volume. Next my issue was getting the tablet to wake from sleep.

After some serious thinking, i have found a way.

This does not require flashing,hacking, taking the tablet apart to rewire ANYTHING.

What i am going to do is connect the charging cord to a secondary cigarette lighter, then plug in a USB adapter.

On the power side of the secondary cigarette lighter connect a toggle switch. (The secondary cigarette lighter will be hidden behind the tablet)

Mount the cool looking toggle switch somewhere in the car where it is easily accessible.

When you want to wake the table, and or charge it, turn on the toggle switch. (This SHOULD work with any tablet)

You may want to download an app to put the tablet to sleep for when getting out of your car.

If anyone else tries this please let me know how it worked out for you.
[Nexus 7 General] RumoredNow:
LOL

A great solution to a unique problem.

Let's see pics when you are done dash mounting your N7. :)
[Nexus 7 General] 02sonicblue:
I still have to cut out a small piece of the dash to allow room for the charging cable. That will be done tomorrow, along with a better video. I just wanted to show my progress.

[Nexus 7 General] fangthorn:
Here's a thought, couldn't you just wave a little magnet over the bottom right part of the nexus screen? This should wake it up just as if you were opening a cover.
[Nexus 7 General] 02sonicblue:
While that is a good idea, that doesn't help with charging.

I personally would want the battery in the tablet to cycle threw its charges instead of always staying connected. (in case i ever wanted to take the tablet out)
[Nexus 7 General] RumoredNow:
Thanks for the videos. Looks like quite the fun project. You did some great work there.
[Nexus 7 General] 02sonicblue:
Thanks RoumoredNow. Its still a work in progress.

1. Better mounting of the tablet.

2. Add DC 4 port USB hub.

3. Add front and rear cameras.

4. Add 2 Standard USB connections built into the dash. (for passengers to charge there phone or play threw the audio system)

5. Another AMP

6. Replace the stock 8 speakers.

7. Add Sub-woofer.

8. Anything else i may think of, or suggestions i may like.
[Nexus 7 General] 02sonicblue:
This is just an update to anyone wanting to mount there tablet in a mustang.

I have found that a simple piece of plywood does the job well. the area to mount a tablet in a mustang (without cutting up the dash) is about the same thickness as the tablet.

So using a piece of plywood, you can screw it to the BACKSIDE of the stereo mounting bracket. A couple of pieces of Velcro added to the plywood and tablet will keep it centered and in place while putting the radio bezel back on.

The Velcro also added cushion and a space filler to snug the tablet up to the radio bezel.

See images.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Just remember that baking a tablet in a car all of the time _will_ destroy the battery, and rather fast. Maybe that's fine. Just warning you.

As for turning the device off. If you have bluetooth in the car or something, you could use Tasker to watch for the BT device. When it goes away, start a timer, maybe 30 minutes or something, then shut down. That way quick runs into the store or it's not powered off/rebooting etc. There are many posts on this exact same subject in this exact sub-forum... Nexus 7 seems to be popular for cooking in vehicles for some reason.

But yes, the "unplug it from the power" solution is always the solution. Using a "pretty" switch is one way to do it. Some cars have lighter ports which are only powered when the car is powered, but I know mine are hot all of the time and a lot of cars these days are.
[Nexus 7 General] TedT100:
Use mKernel and a ROM that supports it and you can use the double tap to wake function, works great on my tablet, just tap the screen twice to wake it up.
[Nexus 7 General] furious84:
U can use timur's kernel, And a otg-y cable, so when power unplug nexus go on stand by, And when plug power nexus start.

That rom is created Just for car installation.

**EDIT: The ebay item i bought below does not fit well in the nexus7.

While it does fit, and does charge, it is loose and sometimes gives a bad connection then disables charging. I suggest to NOT buy it for a nexus7.

I just wanted to update that i have got my OTG cable for my nexus7 (2012) and it works great with timur's rom. Here is a link to the 1 i bought from a USA seller.

I have used a 16gig USB stick with it for testing till i get a larger 1.

[Nexus 7 General] 02sonicblue:
A couple of things i wanted to point out about having a toggle switch connected to wake my tablet.

PROS:

1st. This will allow you to charge the tablet when your not in your car.

2nd. Your car does NOT have to be running or in accessory mode to charge your tablet.

3rd. Depending on how you wire your amp, you can still listen to music on your tablet when the accessory is off.

4th. You can still use ftp, AirDroid, ES File Explorer, ect.. (As im typing this, i'm transferring over 600 songs to my tablet in the car.)

CONS:

1st. Tablet does not wake when switch is moved to accessory mode. (toggle switch must be pressed)

There may be more cons, but i haven't found any related to my setup yet.

I'll add to this as i run across PROS and CONS.

my sETP N HELP PLEASE

i have it set up with my acc line just connected to my ligheter cable and when ever i turn off ignition my tablet turns off and goes on airplane mode.. what i did was i bough a usb addapet that conects to positive n negative line. outputs 2 amps.. its located in the glove box ran the wire through the back and its pluges to the tablet.. so when i turn on the switch the table goes out of airplane mode, turns on my wifi (Wifi Teher) and Bluetoot (For bluetooth gps reciever) and lastly plays my music. :). very pleased with the process.. now im hving one issue wich im trying to fix.. since i have booth bluetooth and wifi my tablet seems to drain more battery than it charges... im running c-rom 4.4.4 and i was looking into tfinding a fast charge. if anyone can help me setup fast charge please let me know and good luck. im pretty good with electrical in case you need any help..

****VERY IMPORTANT OPINION*****

I RECOMEND YOU SET A FUSE BEHIND EVERY WIRE TAP YOU MAKE, I HAD TO REPLACE MY ENTIRE WIRING HARNEST DUE TO A SHORTAGE.. SO A FUSE WOULD JUST BLOW AND NOT CAUSE SHORTAGE> :good::cyclops:
[Nexus 7 General] yattamove:
This post is old but I still have problems. Anyone had luck or did you just threw away your old and got a new model instead?
[Nexus 7 General] egren58:
Got everything set up perfectly let me know if you need any help
[Nexus 7 General] yattamove:
Good project! Have you tried timur's kernel yet? Maybe it will solve your problem.
[Nexus 7 General] egren58:
The thing im using 4.4.4 rom and I believe timurs kernal is only for 2013 version of nexus 7. (Might be wrong) what I ended up doing is making a switch wich in case my battery dieson the tablet I can turn on the switch and charge the tablet over night even when the car is off..
[Nexus 7 General] 02sonicblue:
I have 2 nexus7 (2012) models. My first one, i had timurs USB ROM for Nexus 7

I never could get it to fast charge even when fast charging was turned on. i was backing up my music and the rom went into a boot loop while it was backing up. So i tried to clear the cache and that didn't help. i then tried to revert back to factory (4.4.4) and i bricked it. It was hung at writing the bootloader. So i left it all nite while i went to bed and the battery died. :(

My 2nd tablet i left stock (i haven't even tried rooting it yet).
[Nexus 7 General] egren58:
If you guys want I can make a video of all apps im running and switches and example of how it works..
[Nexus 7 General] 02sonicblue:
The switch is why i posted this thread, unless your talking about something different. Apps are always good.
[Nexus 7 General] egren58:
But acording to your post does your tablet turn on as your car turn on?..
[Nexus 7 General] 02sonicblue:
No mine is always on, and the switch wakes the tablet and then charges it. accessory or engine start is not required to charge.
[Nexus 7 General] egren58:
Oh yeah ive read alot before attempting this and I heard that if your tablet is always on than eventually it will kill it.(dont know if its true or not) Since its always charging. What I did was I re-routed the power button to one of my dash button and I turn it on by that. Works like regular tablet button. And have it set up with tasker to when I turn on the key to ACC wich than sends power to the tablet than the tablet will wake up and start playing my music. And once I turn of the car it will stop playing music, go to sleep, switch airplane mode on and close all running apps..

But just case the power the ACC is providing is not enough to charge the tablet while heavy use I added an extra wire with a switch which basically gives the tablet power while the car is off...

Sorry if im nkt explaining my self clearly. Lol
[Nexus 7 General] nuffstylez:
Hey egren58, would you mind posting your tasker profile. Ive been trying for the longest to set up my tablet like yours and couldn't figure it out.
