1. I posted this same thread 50 hours before and got no reply. So I posted this thread again (which may get ignored again)

2. I don't know how to delete my old thread

3. Here's the content of that thread

Device: XOLO Q1000

Security: Pattern

No Google App, Android Device Manager not showing Lock & Erase

Touch is not working except bottom left and bottom right dot of Pattern Lockscreen.

So, all I want is memos/notes which are stored on my broken device.

That memo app is stock one not the Google Keep, so I obviously can manage my notes only on device.

I can't unlock my device

I can't access it through Android Device Manager

I don't have my memos/notes stored anywhere else.

Is there any hope left? If yes, then please help me...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Praveen125:
I don't think there are solution to get this problem out. You should do factory reset which will erase your data. So no hope left.

Well, thank you, at least I got a reply.... Everybody in my society told me I can't hope anything from this phone.

I decided to get my screen repaired/replaced to get out of this trouble and I'm going to do this soon....

I think I may be completely screwed but hopefully someone here can help me.

I tried running the shelltool program to flash to faria's wm6 rom and now my phone is completley bricked. It is stuck on the first screen when you power the device on, the screen that says T-Mobile and tells you what rom and radio version are installed on the phone.

I have tried running the RUU provided by T-Mobile and that didnt work and I have also tried re-flashing the rom using the shelltool program using the original rom. Nothing is working and I am desperate for help.

If anyone has any ideas, please help me as this is my only cell phone and I do not have the money to replace it.

Please, please help if you can.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Did you put the phone into bootloader mode? Turn it off (pull the battery if you have to). Then hold the camera button while you turn the phone on. You'll get the bootloader screen. From there you should be able to flash a rom. (I assume Shell Tools works here, but I don't know). Is your phone a G4 or a G3?. Safest thing is to flash the Wizard Love rom I'd assume. See the stickie at the top of the forum about how to flash as it has links and all...

Thank you so much man... You seriously save my A$$.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mlts22:
If you are not doing it already, I recommend to back-flash first to the latest vendor provided ROM, flash your radio ROM of choice if you want (optional), then finally flash the latest ROM. This ensures that you have a solid base to start out with.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dharvey4651:
ok I have completely rebooted the phone to the base rom provided by t-mobile but I am having trouble finding shelltool so that i can still flash the rom i really want.

right now it is the standard tmobile rom.

If you know where I can download shelltool so I can flash the custom rom i want then that would be great.

How do I get recovery on unlocked bootloader 5.1.1? I would prefer methods without having to flash 5.0.2 back. Like it will be great if there is any stock 5.1.1 kernels with recovery.

And if its not possible without going back to 5.0.2 then how do I get it by doing so?

Edit: Problem solved. I have root and recovery now..
[Sony Xperia ZR] DKYP:
How did you get recovery on 5.1.1 ?
[Sony Xperia ZR] neildalal:
Go to [MENTION=410007]Nut[/MENTION]'s website and download the ZR lockeddualrecovery zip or installer.

If you are already on 5.1.1 with root then download the installer on your pc, extract it and run the file after enabling usb debugging and connecting your phone to the pc.

If you are on some other android version with recovery and are going to flash your rom then use the flashable zip and flash it from revovery.

NUT's website. http://nut.xperia-files.com

Ensure that you use the latest version of the recovery which is currently 2.8.22

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trix123:
Hello,

I got the Tab S2 8 inch or WiFi only model - SM-T710 on launch day.

I was really excited for this since I was upgrading from an iPad 4, which felt slow.

However, I was disappointed with many things :

1. Most Apps are not tablet optimized.

2. Asphalt 8 tends to lag, although I never noticed this with my iPad.

3. Only 1GB of the 3GB RAM seems to be available most of the time.

4. The play store won't let me access the US play store from outside the US.

5. Part of the Tablet feels hot after light usage.

Can rooting my device help with the above mentioned problems?

How can I fix these problems? Normally I would have done these myself but since I'm completely new to Android I wanted to ask. I've been using iOS since 5 years and I've never had any problems like these. I'm also a fan of iOS jailbreak, tweaks, etc..

One more doubt : Is there a chance that the Tab S2 will get the Android M update?

Thanks,

Trix
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
1. No issues on my s1

2. Can't help with that, don't play games

3. Perfectly normal on an Android device, Android doesn't waste ram, it uses it to make your device faster.

4. You probably need to load the firmware for your region.

5. Same as the s1
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brittany_Menton:
1. Unfortunately, that is going to be a common thing with Android. Google built scalable interface based off the resolution, which makes apps run on tablets. As opposed to the iPad, there isn't a scalable interface feature but instead it uses upscaling, which makes apps very large and blurry.

In addition to that, Apple forces the default settings of the app store search to only show iPad only apps. This means, if you didn't update your app to support tablet interfaces manually, you wouldn't show up on the default search. This pretty much *forced* all of the developers to update their apps, if they wanted it to be seen of course.

But, since Android scales all of this natively the developers are lazy and simply do not update their apps for tablet interfaces as much as iOS.

2. The Tab S2 is a very powerful tablet, but if you're comparing it to the Ipad Air 2 there's going to be no comparison on how the iPad is much stronger. The processer on the iPad is more powerful than some computers people have at home. However, Android really is not a gaming platform, it is more of a productivity platform. There are way more games on iOS than Android, so if you're into gaming (on mobile) stick with iOS. Both platforms have hardware that is compeltely overkill than what most of the gaming apps actually require.

3. That honestly is no different than the iPAD, the amount of memory free should not be a concern unless apps are closing more often than you would like. Keep in mind that iOS struggles with memory as well, you can browse the internet and minimize the app and come back and it will reload the entire page, losing the spot you were scrolled to. On Android, it actually remembers the last spot you were at, simply because it has better memory management.

Keep in mind tablets are solid state, with incredibly fast read and write speeds. Ram can actually become irrelvant, because it can simply page the memory to the solid state drive and it would be effectively the same speed as real ram; you could actually get away with running with 1GB of ram easily. It's just that there is a limited amount of read and writes to a solid state drive, so they still use dedicated RAM to extend the lifespan since it is cheaper than solid state drives in general.

4. You can use a VPN to bypass that restriction.

5. Both the Ipad and S2 will got hot if you try to game on it, these devices don't even have fans in them so I don't know what you are expecting.

With that being said, I much prefer Android over IOS. When I use my iPAD, I've pretty much given up searching for an app because it simply did not exist with such restricted permissions on the iOS platform. With Android, I can customize my tablet to my liking, and I really like the keyboard support on it; it is much better than Apple in that regard.

I own both tablets and I use the Android far more, both have their cons and advantages. But for me, I don't like mobile games, I find them too simple. Thats why I love Android because I can emulate all consoles up to PSP/DS ERA.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
The read/write speeds of ss flash memory is nowhere near as fast as ram.

The Tab s and s2 both have very fast ram.

If manufacturers relied on flash memory for caching and system read/writes with today's fast cpu's the system would bottle neck and crawl.

Fast cpu's need much faster memory to keep up and run smoothly.

Run some benchmarks and you will see the difference.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brittany_Menton:
Yes, there is no question that RAM is much faster, but if you're comparing it to normal usage most people wouldn't see the difference. The Surface Pro 3 64GB edition runs off 2GB of RAM and constantly runs at 90% peak memory and ironically performs just as fast as the 4GB version simply because the solid state has such a high read and write speed.

To a certain extent, all tablets page to the harddrive. As far as I know, there aren't many flagship android models that feature like huge amounts of super speed ram.

When you're comparing it to "much faster", say if you are travelling 500mph and you could go 1200mph, but you already get to your destination in less than a second so for the average user, they probably wouldn't even notice the difference.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
I suggest you do more research on it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brittany_Menton:
The average user is not going to notice their device is faster if the device is perfectly capable of loading basic tasks such as websites at reasonable speeds.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathman20:
1) Yup that is android sadly there. Though more are coming out with tablet versions of the software... FINALLY!

2) I haven't noticed that myself on the device as I do play that game as well

3) As long as it free's it up, there is no issues with having ram used. It will dump memory as needed if apps require more. Typically most apps don't require that much ram so no issues.

4) Thats just a country/region issue with the device ID. If rooted you can fix it at least. I travel and when outside the US the store is still US to me.

5) Most devices are like this. Gaming will make it hotter as well, but that goes for Android to Apple as well. Now, this device is cooler than previous ones I've had under heavy gaming and light usage gets a little warm.

As for the new OS, we can assume so, but since its a little ways off it might take time still for it to "Officially" come to the tablets.

Tab S2 problem

Hey guys, hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. Looks like i got screwed with my Tab S2. I bought a 9.7" cellular version from someone on Kijiji (Equivalent to Craigslist in Canada) and it was working just fine. I installed some apps and was just playing around with it. About two days later it started freezing and restarting when i would play a game or watch a video. Since then it has gotten progressively worse. I boot it up and 30 seconds to a minute later it turns off on its own. I thought it may be a software issue so i did a hard reset but the problem still persists. I took it into a Samsung repair center and they said that it is a pre-production model (IMEI is 00000000000000) and they cannot help. Any ideas what i can do to repair it. I just hate the idea of having a $400 paper weight.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 Problems/Issues

Model#: SM-T815Y

Android Version: 5.0.2 (latest)

1. random hanging 3x-10x/day depends on usage.

problem: hanging that leads to black display screen

solution: soft reset -> press the power button+volume down for atleast 10secs

or until boot up screen shows up.

1a. random hanging usually happens

-when downloading or opening something in the Playstore.

-exploring the settings of the gadget.

NOTE: I noticed that it happens frequently when clicking/using apps

that is related to its Internal Memory.(eg. problem#2)

2. Calculating the Size of the Applications

problem 1: it keeps saying computing even after 30mins of leaving the screen.

solution: unmount sd card>remove sd card>insert sd card.

problem 2: can't clear cache of an application.

solution: need to restart the gadget for it to take effect.

3. Auto Restart then it didn't boot up properly. It only stayed in Samsung Screen.

CONCLUSION: it's not normal to have these kind of problems 3gb of RAM,32gb of internal memory, up to date updates.

: very few widgets are activated, very few downloaded apps installed.

: strongly convinced that the cause of problem is its hardware specifically its internal memory.
