[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
I agree too. Like the tab s has a great screen but it kills the battery more as you watch videos. I have no lag because I used greenify to hibernate my apps after i exit them. For me only chrome lags because as of each update it gets worse. Firefox works without any lag. We now have cm11 which doesnt lag too.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princecharming88:
Forgot to mention I also tried greenify on the tab s and also removed a bunch of other apps after i had it rooted and still got a bit of lagging. Again, I'm the type that if there is lag/stutters it just ruins the tablet consumption experience for me. I'm mostly using the tablet when I'm on the couch after a day of work/school and dont want to wait for apps to load up forever, sounds pompous of me but if I'm paying $400 + for a device i think its a fair expectation everything will work smoothly out of the box without having to do anything else to it/
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barth2:
I use tapatalk and news+ (rss) heavily and scrolling is jerky. I switched to nova launcher, I've rooted (voided my warranty) and debloated and greenified, the lag is still there.

I have an old iPad 3. Spec wise the S leaves it in the dust. And yet whenever I pick it up I'm amazed at how smooth it is, considering it's running an OS two generations newer than it is. The rss app which looks a lot like news+ (or news+ looks a lot like it) just scrolls through tons of images like it's nothing.

If it weren't for the screen I'd ditch this thing in a second. Basically the S is like a girl who is so hot you put up with all her craziness.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstruck!:
What tablet on the market has the next best screen? for me the quality of the screen is the draw. I was amazed when I saw one on display at Costco a few months ago. Part of the problem is I'm going out of town next week and really wanted a newer tablet to take on the road so I can leave my heavy laptop at home. I have an original Nexus 7 but it's pretty slow.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
I hear that in South korea they remade the tab s a bit with less lag. But the new tab s is only in south korea. Like the model is different but has a bit better specs to handle the lag.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princecharming88:
Perfect analogy to describe the tab S LOL. The screen is pretty amazing, but I'd rather have the girl who is cute, sane and gives great head
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Lol! Well my girl (Tab s) has a great screen, good battery life, isnt crazy or laggy, has a nice looking butt(back cover), is rooted sadly because i made it happen, and runs really fast. She is really smart and is someone o can talk too. Idk about your girl(tab s) but mine is da bomb. Lol
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrEzkimo:
wth is going on here :D anyway I also remember someone telling me the tab s was crap because of its benchmarks. which I remembered after watching a couple of hours of films on my flight on such a quality screen.

Yes it has some lag, big deal. Yes it would be better if it wasn't there but compared to the alternatives, there is nothing out there which ticks all the boxes and doesnt appear to be any on the horizon. Its a shame the price doesnt come down or they gloablly do the £50/$75 google play voucher as that makes it decent value for the specs. Its not just the screen, its the size and weight. Its the same damn weight as the nexus 7 and not much bigger at all, but packs in the 8.4 screen and QHD. all easy to hold in the one hand for long periods.

the nexus 9 is 425g compared to 300g of the 7 and tab s. thats almost 50% heavier and for me whos uses the tab for hours a day, thats a big deal. plus (im amazed to say this) I think lolipop is a step backwards. Its about looks and not function, which is the kinda thing I avoided apple for. 4.4.4 would be ideal for me, does the job perfectly without stupid design icons and white all over the place. anyway, thats my rant over :cool:
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bushcrafter:
I love my tab s. The screen is where its at!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodrigorajao:
I really don't understand this obssession people have with smooth scrolling. One of the fist things I do with my desktop browsers is disable smooth scrolling. Whenever I let someone play with my N5 to check it out, the first thing they do is scroll through the 5 pages on my app drawer, and then proceed to say "yeah, it's pretty fast" before handing it back to me. Not once do they open Youtube or a game or some random app to see how the phone really performs.

Having said that, the Tab S LTE (10.5) performs like a champ. The S-AMOLED is absolutely gorgeous, build quality is top notch. Yes, it has a plastic back, but that makes it thin and light. I'm not complaining.

The only downside I can see is the dead custom ROM scene for the Exynos chip. That makes me effectively stuck with stock ROM + Nova Launcher for the life of the device.

I'm so satisfied with my purchase that I'm seriously considering buying a second one (8.4) to take with me on the road.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstruck!:
From what I read in another thread it sounds like Samsung is going entirely to Exynos, which means all of us with Samsung tablets will be SOL for ROM development. They'd rather us an in house chip than pay the extra cost for an outside chip. I love the build and screen, but don't really have any particular allegiance to Samsung.

I'm still waiting to hear more news about the Dell Venue 8 from the 7000 series. It is supposed to be released this month, but I haven't seen any recent information on it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moirae:
Thanks for the heads up on that dell tablet. I was really close to buying a tab s. That dell looks sweet though and it has the same screen. I wish we had a release date and price.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigLisy:
I don't get it. Everyone complains about Chrome in favor of Firefox. But I, on my Tab S 10.5, see Chrome being much smoother than Firefox, in terms of loading and scrolling the page. Chrome is flawlessly smooth in most pages (except some very heavy ones), Firefox however lags - even heavily - on pretty much most pages.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barth2:
Yeah that does look sweet. And the software looks way more stock than tw, which is a Good Thing.

Too bad the large version is Windows and priced like a mac air.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmarq423:
First off, I didn't find this anywhere on the forum, so I hope it's not a dupe - but it's a very annoying problem. I have a Galaxy S5 on KitKat. Here's the issues (pretty much all related):

Often times, I'll answer an incoming call successfully but the person on the other line simply hears a continuous ring cycle.

(Same as #1), but instead of hearing ring cycles - they get voicemail.

On other occasions my phone will be face up on a counter, I'll get a phone call, and when I walk over to the device it will "automatically answer" but the person never connects on the other line.

For all of these occasions, this seems to happen more frequently the first time someone tries to call me. Sometimes additional incoming calls from that number will go through with more success, but not all the time. Restarting the phone and pulling out the SIM card and battery not only do not fix the issue, but seem to consistently re-create the problem.

I should also note that I had Google voice as my provider for voicemail, but I have temporarily disabled that and set up my voicemail through Verizon - still doesn't help. Also 3rd party dialer apps like Dialer One do not make a difference.

Here are my settings:

Android Version 4.4.4 - Kitkat, no updates available (non rooted)

Blocking mode disabled

Motions and Gestures disabled

S-Voice disabled

Preferred network mode: LTE / CDMA **This seemed to solve the problem at first, but it came back immediately. (It was set to 'Global')

I've spent hours trying to fix this and contemplated rooting my device to try to get it to work, but to be honest I'd rather just exchange the phone for a new one before I did something like that. I also have not restored to Factory Default... but again that is preferably a last resort.

Any thoughts? I need a 100% working phone for my job and missing phone calls and having to call people back just isn't cutting it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
First try a data factory reset, if that doesn`t help refash the stock rom with odin 3.09 and after that factory reset/wipe cache in recovery.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warreng3:
Im having the same issue, i cleared the cache, did a factory reset and made sure s voice was turned off, it cleared the issue up for about a month. Recently i have been having this issue happen more and more. Im starting to think it may have something to do with the Bluetooth or the visual Voice mail / voice mail. Anyone else have any ideas on what else to try or do ? The only problem is recreating the environment to cause it to happen. Right now its completely random.

TWRP 2.8.6.0 not mounting anything

Hello. I'm new to xda so sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong area but I have flashed the newer versions of twrp several times and each time I reboot into recovery it will not detect any partitions. It will not even let me look at my SD card files. I have tried several versions of twrp and nothing has worked. It wouldn't be a big deal except that I don't care for the CWM backup system and much prefer TWRPs. I am using invisibleks cm 12.1 ROM and am not using any custom kernel. Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pike888:
I have red quite a few complaints about subtle but persistent lagginess on Z2, for example PhoneArena describes it as: "always just a small amount of lag that prevents the experince from having that instantenious response".

I would like to ask Z2 users where/when do they feel the lagginess of their phone. Is it just on home screens/app drawer, or do you feel lagginess while browsing, youtube etc.? Could it be the Launcher? I mean, if we take Z2 and Nexus 5, which has similar specs and is considered a lightning-fast phone, and install, let's say Nova Launcher on both (as well as the same set of apps) - would they deliver the same experience? Would they be equally smooth? Or would Z2 still have some unstoppable processes in background that would keep it behind Nexus 5 in terms of smoothness?

Thanks!

Xperia Z2 167 fw: http://youtu.be/ZXEYWrZUTIs

For me - 4.4.4 (167 fw) is a best firmware we had for Z2.

But one thing is certain - device is frickin' fast, camera will stutter a bit but it won't overheat in a second minute of 4K recording...

But the lag isn't coming from launcher, it's stuttering in settings as well, as you can see in video(s)...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunaltyagii:
i'm facing small lag in playing flappy bird. can you freakin believe that? it'll lag just for 10th of a sec but that's enough to kill you in that game. and its just in flappy bird. all other games work fine. dont knw if its game problem but it came only after the update.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedSkyRoad:
I have it when scrolling as well...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
But that's something I really can even see anymore.

Device is fast and that's OK.

Lolipop will be better..
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiac100:
Lag has never been an issue for me on z2 aside from playing graphics heavy games at max settings.

There was the occasional stutter here and there but show me one device that doesn't have that problem. That's before the recent update.

Since 4.4.4 though, it's gone crazily fast. Sometimes it's even hard to keep up with it.

I even managed to scroll through two home screens with a single swipe. Crazy!!

Camera viewfinder has a much slower frame rate but it doesn't affect image quality which has actually improved noticeably.

Gaming performance for me has improved overall, games don't drop as much frames at max graphics settings. The 801 just can't handle heavy games at max output and I've accepted that.

To the OP, I don't deny that there are reasons why some may choose not to get the z2 but trust me, lag should be your last concern.

Phonearenna can be full of bull at times. So too gsmarenna. In fact most techblogs are full of crap in one way or another.

Users experiencing lag should consider a clean install wiping everything.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Sage advice for most issues, clean install if it's still present it's rom / hardware issue if not it's user / software issue.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
Finally, someone realistic and honest.

You said everything...

And yeah...I totally agree...there's device without flaws...

SLR 55 has flaws so why should mobile device have another criteria?

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flame77:
Unfortunately I need to say that z2 have been disappointing me since i bought it. Despite that the device has a great hardware, lagginess is a fact. And for me, differently from some people here, it is very notable and really frustrating. After all, the money is very expensive and in my opinion should give the smoothest experience that one android phone could do.

I have tried a lot of solutions but I still always having the same problem. My old nexus 4 was doing better than my current z2. There is any secret do solve this problem?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTheenD:
I really can't see or feel the lagginess since I pirchqsed the phone. I'm running stock .167 non-rooted. Sony really did a great job on this phone.

extra battery drain

no lag for me but the battery definitely isnt that great anymore. It drains faster after the update. My screen usage never show this much percentage before and it was only 3 hours. Had brightness on half
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
it actualy takes some timed to settle in, battery life is better after a week of using
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathan742:
I had the same problem as yours, I think this happened after I disabled some bloatwares in Z2 and also after downloading Fruit Ninja which has corrupted save data on my case that I thought caused some sync failures on data or whatever. Anyway, because of the noticeable lag when playing Fruit Ninja I kinda doubt that it will also happen to my other games so I tried playing Flappy Bird on that time and find out that it is now lagging too. What I did is to uninstall Fruit Ninja but still it did not change, Flappy Bird is still lagging. After that I enabled all other apps that I disabled hoping it will fix the lag, rebooting and clearing cache but still no luck. Last resort, I did a factory reset on my Z2 and boom! Lagging is now removed and also, battery performance improved compare to its state when I first held it from the store where I notice that the battery is draining a little fast being fresh and brand new. To make long story short, I tried again installing Fruit Ninja and yes, lag came back and so I needed to reset again the phone. Because of that I never installed Fruit Ninja again thinking that it is the cause of problem where I would be forced to reset again and re-install and update everything again.

The problem I think here is the apps itself that could be making conflicts with the ROM, incompatibility with the Android version, corrupt save data the creates sync issues, etc. IDK But this is really disappointing knowing that Z2 is one of the most powerful flagship smarthphone in the market today. I am hoping that this would be fixed in the Lollipop update.

---------- Post added at 05:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 AM ----------

Me too have that problem too, Screen is using too much power and also, I notice the WiFi is always on while my WiFi is actually off inspecting the details of battery usage. This is weird and I am really frustrated on battery life of this phone because of some inconsistencies with the firmware and downloaded apps. Factory resetting makes everything good as new but it is just coming back for some reasons when installing and/or updating some apps from google play, IDK.
