There are vertical black bars display on both sides
But the tablet z was showing perfectly on tv as full screen,
I think the reason is Tablet Z didn't show the Navigation Bar on TV, but Z2 Tablet did
Does anyone know how to make Z2 tablet show full screen on TV?

Hello,
It is simple : your TV are 16/9, whereas your tablet are 16/10.
Did you try adjusting your screen for different input formats?

How did you get your mircast to work? I can't get my xperia z2 tablet to connect via mircast, every time I try to do it, it says connection failed. I have the sony bravia KDL-60R550A.
Same problem here. I have bought it mainly for mirroring to Sony TV, no problem with z1 phone, ridiculous edges with z2 tablet. Hope there'll be a solution.

Try to update firmware of your TV. I had the same problem with my Samsung TV, the solution was firmware update.

Z2 tablet and MHL Bars and GP Movies
I have tried the Z2 tablet using a sony MHL IM750 adapter with various TVs and monitors and it is always the same the black bars are on the screen at the side of the mirror on the TV. Using my old galaxy nexus phone with the MHL adapter I do not get this problem it fills the screen fully.
Incidentally if I try to mirror google play movies through the tablet with the MHL adapter I get an message that it is not secure and it does not allow it to happen. Yet when I do the same through miracast it works! seems a little odd but something to do with HDCP I guess. If I mirror google play movies through my nexus phone it works fine.
All seems a little strange, I imagine it requires some kind of change to the firmware is needed. Particular when jackjackw (the first post in this thread) mentions that the tablet Z fills the screen using mhl.

Hello,
i have the same problem. black bars right and left plus home and back button on the screen.
i tried it with cable on samsung 6100 and with miracast on a brand new samsung .
both the same problem.
se
do you think there will be a update or should i give it back an buy a samsung.
Anyone come up with a fix yet? Got the same problem.
This thread is ridiculous. The Xperia Tablet Z2 has a 16/10 screen, and you are all mirroring to 16/9 tv screens, which obviously produce black borders on the sides in order to preserve the correct aspect ratio on the image. Without that black bars you would see the image stretched and the people in the movies would seem fat.
The Xperia Z, nexus 5, etc, etc, you are all mentioning, are 16/9 devices, so no black bars.
To get rid of the black, bars you will have to use your TV zooming functions

So I just got my G Tab yesterday. I've rooted it and slammed on Vegan. I'm really impressed with this thing. The one issue I seem to be having is that I download wallpapers (1024x600) but they never show up properly on it. They are always cropped. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, is there a way to verify that my screens resolution is correct? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Happy new G Tab guy
Yeah, that happens to me too. It seems the wallpapers only show the full art in portrait mode.
The only way I have seen to recify that issue is to download MultiWallpaper Live from the market. Set the single picture that you want was your wallpaper as the default wallpaper and it will fit to the screen as you would expect it to.
I still haven't figured out how to correctly display wallpaper without the use of this program on my GTab.

The correct app for this is MultiPicture Live Wallpaper, which is free. https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
After you install MultiPicture Live, it will appear as an option within "Live wallpapers".

You may have to try the market fix (go down to Part Three). However in my experience you will lose access to the device on the 'Web Market' (your device will disappear, never to be seen again). I have not figured out how to fix that, so be warned before trying it.
When I check the 'market', there's a list of apps I look for specifically (Not because I use all of them, but they seem to cover most of the filters). Some of them I've noticed are only available BEFORE the fix, and some (most) only available AFTER:
Adobe Flash/Air*
Mozilla Firefox*
Dolphin HD
Google Apps (Maps, Voice, Youtube, Voice Search, Gmail)
Launcher Pro
ADW Launcher (probably same filter as LP)
Titanium Backup
Yahoo! Messenger Plugin (Voice & Video)
Smart Keyboard
*means they are only available BEFORE the fix, they disappear from the market afterwards, so if you want them, be sure to download them first (may be others).
Of course, these are only the ones I know about, YMMV.
EDIT: If you still have trouble finding it and have another Android device (like a phone), you can download it there first, then back it up (eg. with Astro or TB), then sideload it onto the tablet (copy it over using preferred method, such as USB or Dropbox, then open it with a file manager on the tablet).
multipicture
I have tried puting different backround pics on each screen which works fine until I reboot and then I get a "picture not available" message on all the screens. I have tried several times with the same result.
I am a newbie - what the heck am I doing wrong!
Agree on the 1024x1024. However, if you can't find background in that resolution or no photoshop skill to make it so, use crop wallpaper.
Depend on the image, set it with the gtab horizontal or vertical.
Voila, no low rez crap background.

I'm really curious about actually getting this problem fixed. I don't have very much knowledge, however I am a quick learner. can anyone shed some light on whats causing this problem in android and why its present in every rom?
I've got a bit of free time until summer semester starts and i wouldnt mind spending some time on getting this fixed once and for all.

It's the built in gallery app made by cooliris, which is 16bit. Google's own gallery app that was there before android 2.1 was 24 bit. They opted for the 3rd party solution probably for it's 3d interface to attract more regular consumers.
I love google's apps for it's functionality. But IMO, graphical interface smoothness is not one of their strong areas.
I am on Calkulins 1.1, Clemsyn 9, Launcher Pro, and my wallpaper was always 1/3 cut off and moved to the bottom of the screen. Last night I switched to Go Launcher and it was fixed. Wallpaper looks perfect. Go Launcher has about 7 themes that are free and really cool. It functions a lot like Launcher Pro and is free.
happened to me
Got my gtab a few days ago and tried some new launchers tonight, when I switched to the toshiba launcher my wallpaper messed up. Live wallpapers work fine but normal ones are cropped, tried the fix posted but I got a "no photo to display" message and I don't know what folder the wallpapers are in to fix it.
EDIT: Another long thread on this same issue here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510251
Is anyone else experiencing messed up deep black colors (pixelization) in images, wallpaper, etc?
I thought I saw someone else mention this problem, but I can't remember which thread.
This is happening to me with almost every image or photo that has deep blacks in it, including photos I take with the camera and view on the phone!!
EDIT: I tried to attach screenshots of the problem to this post, but the uploaded images end up looking completely normal (gorgeous) when viewed on any other system. On my phone, however, they look like total pixelated garbage.
Do I need to exchange it, or did I screw up a setting somewhere? Any ideas?
I get that with some certain images and sometimes videos too. I believe it was like that on my skyrocket and gs2 too. Super amoled screens have saturated colors and causes black to pixelate even on our HD resolution...
-On another NOTE, Samsung goes 5.3"
I get that too and my skyrocket and gs2 was no different. Some pictures and certain videos. I believe Samsung super amoled screens have over saturated colors which causes the black colors to show up pixelated. Even in our HD resolution screens. Hopefully Samsung will improve this in the future.
-On another NOTE, Samsung goes 5.3"
So this is considered "normal" on Samsung's AMOLED phones? And it happens on every single device?!
I take little comfort in the fact that it's happening to everyone, and I personally consider it unacceptable for any device in 2012.
Some images and videos are totally and completely unviewable -- including every dark wallpaper I've attempted to use, and even many of the photos I've taken with the phone's camera. The photos do look fine when transferred and viewed on another device, of course, but how the hell can I tell if I just took a good picture if it literally looks like I used to MS Paint to draw it!?
How is this acceptable to anyone? What's going on here?
I would return it. Mine had no problem.

You are not the only one having issues. I am having the same problems, and I took mine back to best buy. I had them test there new units, and they had the same issues. Then I went to a local AT&T store and all of their demo units had the same problems. I dont know if its because its new release issue, but its very annoying! Also, open the android market and the grey tabs on the home screen mine have bands running through them, then also the skype app home screen you can really tell it.
Sadly, blocky artifacts for me.

i can tell you positively that video plays perfect on my Note..
I took five co-workers in the breakroom and made it pitch dark and when playing that video nobody can even tell where my screen ends and the phone begins because the black blends so well..
Not to say I never see blotches but its only on low res images or if the video just sucks.
That's how screens are.. the nexus is similar

Try the same video on you tube but using the browser. Use this link and view in desktop mode than use you tube app. Then u will see its a software issue.

Here are a few images that you can use to test this issue on your Note. First view them on your Note, and then view them on a PC to see how they're actually supposed to look. Pay special attention to the color transition areas and deep black areas. I agree that it appears software-related... something is definitely wrong with the gfx drivers.
I wonder if any of our friendly all-star devs can fix it? Do you think it justifies its own thread in the dev forum?

That video is garbage in both the stock browser and YouTube app; however, it looks great in Dolphin HD browser.
The still images I posted also look completely normal in Dolphin HD, but they look like pixelated garbage in every other app -- to include gallery, quickpic, tapatalk, etc.
So, I definitely believe it's a software-based rendering issue of some sort.
Hopefully our all-star devs can fix it, or perhaps the upcoming official ICS release will solve it...
Video looks like garbage for me in YouTube app as well, even with HQ checked. The only way to see it in full quality is to view it in Dolphin Browser HD, with the user agent set to desktop mode.
However, if I do this, another problem arises. The blacks are no longer black, but dark gray. I suspect that in desktop mode, Dolphin Browser doesn't know how to convert RGB16-235 to full range. Does anyone have any ideas? This is definitely a software issue.
I've downloaded and installed this but it doesn't fit the screen fully, anyone know of a fix please?
Thanks

There is a compatibility mode that will stretch apps, is that option available? Otherwise you could play around with the screen density assuming you are on CM9. 160dpi is what CM9 defaults to but 132 is what the screen actually is.

That's the answer I was hoping for, I thought it may be something to do with that., but didn't know the default and the actual screen size so I'll give it a go
And it doesn't show the stretch option as it is a tablet only app I think

So basically it only supports 16:9 tablets, not too smart if thats how it was developed. There are official 4:3 Android tablets out there like the Pantech Element. Funny thing is the iPad app seems to be supporting 4:3 just fine.

I also contacted Onlive support about the same issue on my Le Pan II (also 1024x768). They said they would send along the problem to their engineers and consider supporting 4:3 android tablets. Hopefully soon.
How did you get it installed on your TP? When I try from Google Play it tells me it is not supported in my country. Changed it to US (T-Mobile) in using MarketEnabler and still no joy. Also got Samsung SGH-T989 in build.prop - not sure if that is the problem.

Simple trick to bypass 7 inch protection and use this cool app on any device...
If you dont have app download latest version with black market alpha
http://www.mediafire.com/?hgdljhid6kvomke
Just download from google play lcd resolution - ///must have root and busybox///
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wemobs.android.lcdresolution&hl=sr
Set density around 100 – 160 and Onlive Desktop will probably work... - Tryed on Galaxy Note and density 160... (lowest possible...) and it worked
Only bad thing it wont probably be full screen, so fell free to try different resolutions, and maybe you set full screen
Hope i helped! If you have any question or better idea fill free to say

For Chrome, click on "Boommarks" to the left of where it says "Mobile Bookmarks" and it will take you up a level where you'll see a folder of your desktop bookmarks. See attached screen grab. Love this feature, btw.
As for the weak wifi, I agree. Doesn't do as well as my iPhone 4 did. But, the iPhone 4 and 4s sure can't do what this phone can.

I was wondering the same thing. After all, if the Video is fully from side to side, the only difference would be full black over the top and bottom section rather than additional info.
the vimeo thing works in stock because it uses flash player. it will never work in chrome because it will never have flash player.

Good to know about Chrome not supporting flash - What confuses me is that Vimeo works fine on IOS devices which of course do NOT support flash. And to add to that I am not seeing many flash sites mostly news sites work on this phone. The Adobe flash app thats native to this device seems to do nothing...
As far as youtube, IOS 4 or newer renders a full screen portrait mode, that somewhat compresses the content on the sides and magnifies the image. Its basically doing a zoom function which is pretty sweet. I thought for sure there would be some Android app that could do the same. I find it silly to have this giant screen and when I play in portrait I get a 1.5X1.5 video with the rest of the screen filled with useless text.
I can easily find my mobile bookmarks in Chrome, what I dont see is the bookmarks I have been saving in favorites. How does one get to the actual saved favorites folder ? It should not be this difficult. The bookmarks in the stock browser are much easier to navigate -

It's the exact same process.
If you feel that the screen icons and text are too large for you and want more screen real estate to work with. I recommend doing this, and you'll love your device more. Giving you an extra icon column for your screen, and below gives you 2 extra quick icons!

That's cool tablet mode. I didn't experiment with any other numbers!
My pictures above are examples of density 480 to 320.
Impact on the Battery???

No difference at all.
I was able to install the 15 second adb installer on windows 10 and follow the directions from the thread to do this with no problems. Thanks.
The only small issue that I noticed with this was with the Xperia home launcher. I'm getting "unfortunately xperia home has stopped" as soon as I changed to 320 density. Also, if you try to change the launcher settings at 320 density the grid option and the shortcuts options don't show. I think it's a setting in the home launcher but I haven't figured it out yet. Sometimes it does it when I hit home from the camera app, sometimes it doesn't.
I mirror my phone on a 10" joying head unit and having the higher density really helps with android auto.
Thank you work like a charm. No issues at all.
New Home launcher
The new launcher Sony Home allows this without root

Yes it does on my F3212. Besides, I don't think it matters what version you're using cuz this is originally a C5 Ultra method.

So changing the density of the process^ works on the Xperia C5, Xperia Z5, and Xperia XA Ultra. However, I've upgraded to the Xperia XA1 Ultra currently on Nougate 7.0. The steps seem not to work. I found a workaround, but it has it's issues.
An alternative is to go into Developer Mode settings and change the "Smallest Width." The numbers are not the same as changing it with 'adb command prompt.'
When changing the dpi in Developer Mode settings "Smallest Width." There are multiple things that happen when across the board Xperias with Nougate 7.0; including Xperia XA1, Xperia XA1 Ultra, Xperia XZ, Xperia XZ Premium, Xperia XZ1.
When changing 'smallest width' dp (dpi) between its original number 423; i.e. 540-599 the 'action bar' buttons move out of place in landscape mode.
When set to 600 dp (dpi) or higher, is in tablet mode and the action bar moves to the bottom when rotated in landscape mode (avoiding the warping of the action bar). However, another problem occurs; the file management system becomes locked. Gmail cannot attach a file, nor other apps cannot open it's file management system.
At first I tought this was a 'Write Access' problem, restarting and troubleshooting. I found out reverting the dp (dpi) to a lower density, the error pop-up disappears.
