[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephenuk:
The Sony Xperia Z2 tablet has got to be the most horrible device in android history to root or install a recovery on it. The process and the complexity of it is just horrible. You daren't ever make the slightest change to a rom or anything in twrp as it just screws everything up on this device. I can't count the amount of roms i've put on it just to totally trash the device and you have to start from scratch. Either you put a new rom on, it wipes the recovery, you have to piss about using flashtool to flash some other ftf on just to get into recovery, then you have to then flash another tft to get root, the list just goes on and on. I don't even know why sony mobile even bother offering the bootloader unlock option in the first place, it's an absolute nightmare. It's basically you can have root with the official stock firmware, if you want a custom rom spend the next 2 weeks trying to get supersu installed on it. The most horrible device I've ever come across.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BabelHuber:
Then sell it :laugh:

Somehow I cannot share this view. Running Carbon ROM with Magisk without any issues. For a more than 4 years old tablet the Z2 stands its ground, I don't regret having bought it.

Just hoping that we'll get Pie...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephenuk:
I've tried Carbon and would love to use it but it just screws up the tablet after install and recovery gets wiped so you can't even go back to restore a back up. You then have to reflash using Emma then back into flashtool to reflash the tft to get recovery to work again because flashtool ends up reporting back that the current tft is not compatible with the device. It's a finicky device to root. It's got to be the worst out of all android devices. E.g my Samsung s9 had it rooted and flashed with a custom rom in around 5 mins. No matter what firmware is installed. Sony decided that after 23.1.A.575 or whatever rooting was not possible after that. Also every method on here telling you how to do it is different to each other and inconsistant. I tried 23.1.A.575 root for UK and it would not allow for twrp to be booted into. I had to use xperiafirm to download the Taiwanese version so I could get the batch script to allow recovery so holding down power on volume down would allow twrp to load. It's just a painstakingly horrible device to root to get something so simple. But yes your right probably best time to get rid and something different. Sorry for the rant it's just been a frustration for me.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BabelHuber:
Sorry to say so, but rcstar has a very good step by step description on how to install the ROM. I followed it to the point and have no issues whatsoever.

TWRP, Magisk and Substratum work, like everything else.

It's not a device which is easy to mess with, you are right. But it's doable.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephenuk:
I've followed so many without much success. I tried the solution by kulvertti to the letter and the tab was having non of it. I think the problem also is that a lot of the links are dead to the specific tft you need to download so getting the exact version is tricky. The only one that has worked for me is the Taiwanese rom then using the recovery script by danalec to get Marshmallow flashed which is what I'm running now. So I made a back up today and thought OK let me try carbon because I can get all the nice customization options like being able to choose a dark theme for the settings menu instead of piercing white. What is it with manufacturers wanna make every thing bright and painful on the eyes. Anyway downloaded gaps wiped system etc installed rom and once it loaded the system was all unstable and lost root and recovery. So I give up now and have to accept I can only have marshmallow on it.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aphex33:
Danalec has a very simple root method for Marshmallow in the general section. This is one of the best tablets out there by far. Build quality doesn't come close with other brands.

already change for 2.4 ghz to 5ghz but still not connected to ps4.. its can detect my hotspot but when connecting is always failed... Its very weird because my mi8 hotspot can be used on other smartphone or other laptop... when I'm using other phone as hotspot my ps4 can connect with no problem... The only solution i found now is using my portable hotspot device to become wifi extender to connect to my mi8 then to my ps4 like this [mi8 hotspot] connect to [wifi extender] then its connected to [ps4] ... Its a bit annoying to charge 2 device just for hotspot... I use my mi8 as a hotspot device because my old phone and other portable wifi hotspots device only support 3g.. already using other alternative like foxifi and pdanet still not working...

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartyuser:
There seems to be no official LineageOS support for the Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-I9195 - serranoltexx) any longer. The according download pages have been removed from lineageos.org, so that one cannot even download the last official version.

Does anybody know whether these versions are available somewhere else?

What about the versions on cyanogenmods.org?

Is that site reputable?

Can the versions on this site be used to upgrade a device that has an an official version from lineageos.org installed?

So far, on lineageos.org there was only version 14.x available, cyanogenmods.org also provides versions 15 and 16. Would you recommend these versions? Can one keep settings and user data when upgrading from version 14 to 15 or 16?

Thanks in advance!

I have the same question.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Tony1679:
Hi. New to the forum, hoping to resolve this issue that's been plaguing this phone for months. The phone is not allowing connections to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or hotspot (all both ways, to and from. Won't connect to another hotspot, won't allow others to connect to it's hotspot). What's truly strange is that all will work randomly, then quit again. But it works maybe 1% of the time. This makes me believe it's not a hardware issue, but it's not proof. And other times, it will work (Wi-Fi for example) and within a few minutes it will shut itself off. Same has happened with Bluetooth. I doubt it matters, but this phone is unlocked and currently using the T-Mobile network. I'm positive I've isolated the issues to this phone. I have done weeks worth of research online, and tried everything I know to fix it myself to no avail. My skill level is moderate to noob-ish, I know plenty more than the old folks, but would bet my house I'd brick a phone trying to root it.

What I've done already (thanks to countless bits of info by Google searching):

*Have powered off/on the phone many times

*Have factory reset the phone

*Have done a "master reset"

*Have wiped the system cache partition in the boot menu

*Have booted in safe mode, problems still persist

*Have gone to system apps>device maintenance>storage>clear data

*Have gone to system apps>wifi direct>storage>clear data

Fwiw, I've had nothing but problems ever since I installed the FB messenger app (only installed briefly to place an ad), but I deleted it ages ago and will never install it again. Can't be 100% certain whether or not the issues started before or after the install, or whether it's related at all. I really like this phone and don't want to give up on it, but I'm not willing to take it somewhere and spend hundreds fixing it either. I really appreciate anyone who takes time to read and offer help. Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leyvatron:
if you have slow charging issue, the tablet gives you a warning to use the original charger to charge it fast. If you don't get the notification of slow charging, then your tablet doesn't have any charging issues.

did you disconnect and reconnect the battery?

As I wrote on samsungboard recently;

"I have tried multiple cables*(that work fine with all other phones - Samsung S7/Galaxy tab S2 9.7/Sony etc)

I have tried multiple chargers (Samsung quick charge as well as Samsung standard and Anker 6 port charger)

Tried changing the USB mode (*#0808#)

I have tried resetting device (long press vol up/down/power)

When connecting device to PC to use Odin to downgrade it is not even seen by Windows 10 (again it only charges albeit slowly - this to me is an indication that D+/D- are not handled correctly by the PMIC sw which in my mind is the root cause of this whole issue).

hi Guys!!!!!!!! i too had the same problem stated above and i got the reason of it in youtube and here is the link of the video:

and this video tells that we need to replace the IC of the device where this problem is very common in most of samsung galaxy tab s2's
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
That's not something most people can do... successfully. These are the hardest type of ICs to replace. A precision temp controlled hot air station with the skillset to use it is required. Full ESD protocols need to followed. You can easily destroy the multilayered PCB if you don't do it right... you get one shot at it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdanubi:
I have T715Y, and it's really slow to charge. The current monitor show that it only pull 0.45A. The charger itself capable of supplying more than 2A on other device.

On the tablet, I try to monitor the current internally, and it said it connect to usb powered, not ac powered, and I already tried swapping other chargers. Maybe that's why it's only pulling half amps. Tried cleaning the charging port with some isoprophil alcohol and pinset, nothing change. Maybe I need to swap the charging port, but searching it in 2021 was hard.

View attachment 5389291
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmwdroid:
@xdanubi it shouldn't use AC as batteries are only being charged by DC.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
If the device is in use it will likely skew the charging curve and not draw as much as with the screen off. If you turn the display on and read within a second or less while charging you can probably see what it's actually drawing screen off.

Or simply count how many seconds it takes to charge 1% or minutes to charge to 10%, etc.

If the battery capacity has dropped more than 80% of it's original capacity it's time to replace it before it fails.

Any battery swelling is a failure, replace asap.

Erratic charging can indicate a failure as well.

A sudden drop in capacity indicates a failure.

It could simply be a failed battery.

A battery will last roughly 1-3 years depending how it's used/conditions ie temperature and time it's at near 100%.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trnexus01234:
My S2 started exhibiting this problem too. Basically it won't pull more than 450 ma from the charger. I discovered that with a custom charge cable that shorts the usb lines together, I was able to get it to draw about 1.5 amps @ 5v. You can get a little more if you supply it with a little more volts (5.5 for instance).

Currently i am using a bench power suppy connected to a micro usb tail that has the dp dm lines tied together.

I have some usb c female breakouts coming from amazon today that I will solder on to my custom micro usb tail which will hopefully allow me to charge it from my 6 port vogek charger.

I agree that it most likely had an IC go bad but replacing that is a MAJOR under taking. 1.5 amps is enough that it will still get about 1 amp charge while your actively using it so theoretically it should go from 0 to 100% in 5.8 hours. Less if you power it down. Good enough! 😁

Hi, instead of using Titanium, you can use the Huawei app Phone Clone to transfer most of your configuration from previous phone. Including apps, data, call logs, sms, etc. It works really well. You can find the app in Google play.

Phone Clone didn't work properly for me, I was able to transfer only call logs and SMS. Apps were transferred without any data, probably because of different brand.
