[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] kutulu32:
Even mi note pro throttles i know but nevertheless even with throttling the specs are nice.

My lg gflex 2 also throttles but with the right tweaking gaming performance is perfect.i think this tablet is very good for gaming. As for the comparisom between 810 and exynos (s6) nobody said that 810 is better.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] Stevethegreat:
Yeah but they should had been equal (given their specs) if it was not for throttling. I just can't see why a tablet should throttle at all. Maybe it's bad design from Sony's part. For example nexus 9 doesn't throttle despite the fact that Tegra K1 has a greater TDP than Snapdragon 810. I mean SD810 has a relatively low TDP, it should not throttle on tablets, period...
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] najoor:
The reason it throttles is likely because excessive power dissipation, even if it doesn't cause heating problems can still degrade the battery life. So Sony has possibly and wisely chosen this strategy so you and I can have close to 20 hours of running time. I am sure if you run exynos at full clock rate the battery life will be horrible too. So I guess if you want long battery life that is the price you pay.

Keep I mind that the maximum performance is still there to utilize if you need it once in a while, just not continually, which is consistent with most real life use scenarios . 99% of users don't see any significant impact on their user experience.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] Stevethegreat:
Depends on what you do. On multi window situations 20% more sustained performance can be a godsend, the difference between a leggy and a fluid experience. On my Samsung Tab's multiwindow low performance is always an issue and only Exynos 7420 / Snap 810 may solve it.

Now I understand that Xperia Tab is not that (no multiwindow), but I was thinking to install Linux arm and use it as my net book (in conjuction with the keyboard dock) as well as my tablet. Now I'm having second thoughts. I know I'm a minority in my needs from a tablet but I think a tablet SoC should behave differently than its phone counterpart. More potentialities in tablets.

I would think that next to stamina mode , a performance mode (existing only in Xperia tabs) would be welcomed. Sure battery would suffer but even 6-7 hours of laptop use is great for what it is. It would be like having a "laptop mode" (where one can use the full potential of the SoC) and a tablet mode (as it is today). I don't like constraints it is all...

BTW exynos 7420 throttles significantly less even after sustained usage (15-30 minutes). It still throttles but nowhere near SD810 levels, there is a gulf between them making Exynos to seem the significantly faster (even tough it isn't in raw numbers). Here's hoping Tab S2 would be using the 7420 (and not any older model), still I prefer Sony, xperia's weight and aspect ratio. For someone like me, this tablet represents a lost chance all because of throttling :/
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] hashkar:
Do we know which 810 version gives those numbers?

There is a word out there that there is a newer version of the SD810 that had the overheating problem solved. Looks like it is not very wide spread yet though, and many early batches still have the old version.

So, we need to know if there is a difference in throttling between both version or not. After all those who plan to get the devices will buy it with the new version most probably.

Anyone knows how to know which processor version the tablet has?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] 6thfloor:
Has anyone tested the SD 815 USA version of the z4?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] jelbo:
Couldn't find anything on that. Afaik there is/won't be no US model of the Z4T. And afaik the Snapdragon 815 doesn't exist.

Any rock stable? I'm running stock after trying a few out and can't find a DD. Stock is horrible. Super slow, super hungry. Kills me inside I can't find anything else.

Question is, was is your closest to DD? Much appreciated.

DD here is BlissPop. Only minor niggle is the non-stock camera app but otherwise it's smooth, fast, stable, decent battery life, lots to customize. Wouldn't want to back to stock at all :good:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coderanter:
If your main purpose of using an LG G3 is the camera than stay with stock. LG framework to run camera and FM is missing from all non stock ROMs.

The closest you get to good customisation and stock experience is Cloudy G3 2.2. I have personally been using this ROM and find it good on customisation, stock experience, battery life and not missing out on camera.

Hi guys, I'm using Zenfone 2 [ZE551ML] 2GB RAM/ 32GB ROM.

The issue is that even though I transfer the files (videos) from my pc to the internal memory, when I try to transfer them to the sd card the file is not read and it's broken. I've tried to transfer directly to sd card but the results are the same. I don't know whats the problem, because the very first time putting the sd card it was all right to transfer files into it.

If anybody knows a way to deal with this please let me know. Thanks in advance

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MashedBrotato:
It's part of the Clean Master app that came preinstalled. I'm not sure if it's bogus or not, but it claims that it regulates the charge cycle so that you don't overcharge your battery. If that's true, I don't want to disable it, since that's a nice feature, but I certainly don't want these godawful ads every time I unlock my phone while it's charging.

There's another screenshot of it. It's not something else that's being pushed there. I assure you I'm not naive enough to download anything that would give me crap like that.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammaul:
Cleanmaster is little better than adware...one of the first things I did was uninstall it. It hurts your battery life as well. Use the ram cleaning tool asus provides instead. Also...ASUS should know better than do force that crapware on us, however if it is the only way they are making money on the phone....
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MashedBrotato:
Does the charge manager do anything? It claims that it boostcharges to 80%, then normal to 100%, then trickle charges to keep the phone charged without overdoing it. Is that all a load of BS? I'm really hoping it is, cause this is awful.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammaul:
Yes, I realized after you mentioned Cleanmaster....as I said above it was one of the first things I removed. It does more to kill your battery now than help.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scoop3:
I uninstalled it too... figured it was crap o.O; this kinda reinforces that initial thought haha
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammaul:
Is that in the Cleanmaster app?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MashedBrotato:
It is.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammaul:
Just get rid of it. I doubt it does anything that is worth constant ads pushed on your lockscreen regardless. If you have the 64 gig version you have a quick charger anyway.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rydare:
That's exactly what the charger does by itself. Basically you're letting them show you ads in exchange for showing you what the charger is doing. Feel free to uninstall Cleanmaster and freeze the app, it won't harm your battery health at all. You can still use Asus' RAM clearer with Cleanmaster frozen.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedisturbedone:
As he said. This is done by every charger on every damn phone. Nothing the app can do. Stupid scareware tactics. They could even get sued for such claims.. if someone bothered to file a lawsuit that is :P

Can anyone help, I am getting a similar issue on my Galaxy Note 4 and it is killing my phone!!! It looks a bit different to this 1 (I don't know how to post a picture on here?)

My phone is now Really slow, all the time! Unlocking the phone is also a torture as I have to swipe away this charging/lock/add screen then get my security screen and enter it before my screen times out and goes black. As my phone is slow u can imagine this is a torture!

I have tried to find the app and can't find it anywhere. I know all the apps that show up in app manafer and it's none of them. Unless it is hidden within an app or somewhere in my OS now? I have tried multiple anti-virus/malware apps and none of them find a problem.

How to I find it and get rid of it? Please help!

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artizeng:
Solved! (on Note 4)

Thanks for the advice krasCGQ.

I didn't want to factory reset my phone encase I lost my data/apps/setup. But I was getting very close!

Found the solution though. I had been using the app "omni-swipe" for a while now (great for easy to reach shortcut when ur your using a big screen with 1 hand!) but it seems the last update active a "boost charger" feature without me knowing. Nothing on the lock/charge screen said omni-swipe so that's what took me so long to find it!

I think the app is supposed to speed up/boost charging but I didn't notice any improvement! It did give a handy display of how long it would take to charge to 100% but that came with adds as well and more importantly it COMPLETELY killed the performance of my Note 4!!! It was a torture unlocking my phone when it was charging! And I noticed my phone was significantly slower even after I disconnect it from the charger!

Anyway, thanks for your advice. I will make sure I post to the note 4 forum next time! (noobs! :silly:)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaJeS:
Thanks, all. This thread is the first thing I find after the lock page just suddenly popped up while I was in the middle of organizing a Facebook event, but I have no knowledge of downloading CleanMaster on my Motorola Moto X, nor do I remember having that or Omni-swipe anywhere in my apps. Even in the middle of typing this, it popped up again, and I thought it was an interesting add that somehow managed to go full screen in my browser and knew my battery charging level with no (x) button. I'm still a little worried that I must've accidentally clicked something to get it, and that it will continue to pop up in the middle of no where to bother me from now on (or maybe bug my phone). Thanks for the suggestions on where to find the root of the problem.

Edit: I first looked through my downloaded apps in settings to make sure I didn't accidentally download any of the apps previously mentioned (or that my phone didn't do t on its own). Not finding either, I browsed through my running apps (I don't use a battery booster nor task manager, I just go through them on my own as suggested by a Verizon employee), opening to look through specifically the most unnecessary, unofficial, "accessory" apps that shouldn't be running because I'm not using them. Well, I figured TouchPal must be running in order to provide itself as an option on my keyboard, but not 1 process + 3 services (watch out for BindService, PresentationService, and BatteryBoostService). If stopping those services doesn't help, I'll be uninstalling the app altogether. It was only fun to have a customizable keyboardwhile I did.

Even most free EA Games have both interstitial ads and full screen ads and it's very annoying. One of my friends also have some apps that trigger full screen ads (I suspect that the virtual keyboard app that she is using triggers this).

My only recommendation:

Uninstall the app.

Go to My apps and games on Play Store, swipe to All.

Tap X button on that stupid app.

Remove it.

Install another one who is ad free.

You aren't the only one. Many people are complaining the same on Play Store.

maybe you can try lucky patcher, it can patch the apk to remove adds. it doesnt always work on every app but its worth a shot.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnod11:
So I just recieved a pretty sweet present, my brother in law got a new ipad for his birthday and has chosen to give me his old Kindle Fire HD that has some issues.

It was previously rooted, but in an attempt to unroot it, he slightly messed up the kindle's top bar.

The device functions very well for performance, but although all the google aspects are gone off the device from what I can tell, the bar at the top continuously disappears for up to a couple minutes at a time. I'm not sure what kind of root he used back then or how he got rid of it, but I do see SuperSU still installed along with ES File Explorer.

I currently am charging the device and its at 30% since I just got it this morning, but any suggestions would be greatly greatly appreciated!!

Honestly at this point I'm looking to do either 1 of two things.

-Re-root and fix the kindle so Its rooted and status bar is back to normal (to keep as my own, I <3 google apps too much to convert)

OR

-Flash or reboot the kindle to Day 1 install so it looks, feels, and acts like it did straight out of the box (for resale on craigslist).

Its a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" with version 8.4.3_user_4308820.

If more information is needed just let me know!

[G4 General] psechler:
I had my Galaxy S4 screen break right across the middle sitting on short brick wall. I completely brain farted it was in my back pocket. The screen was completely dead so I had to go to a cell phone repair shop. If I did insurance then I would have lost everything saved to the device (including A LOT of great pictures) because no screen so no access to save stuff before sending it off. It cost me about $110 for an S4 so i'm guessing a G4 would be more.

You probably don't have much saved to your phone yet. And if your deductible is less than $100 then just send it in. Plus it's a brand new phone so they'll probably send you a new one and not a refurbished "like new" replacement.

I've never used a case on any of my phones, and the only one I've ever shattered was completely my own fault (had it facing glass out in my pocket and leaned against a table while moving stuff).
