Hi, has anyone else noticed that you can't throw photo's/videos with the Z2?
I've tried multiple times and even though it connects to my W805 tv it just refuses to throw the image or video. I don't have this issue on with my Z1.
Yes it can be iffy on my w955 it's in need of a fw update IMO

ok well im good with computers in general and i would have no problem rooting my hero. my first question is what are the main pros/cons? i dont have 2 reasons yet to root, the only one iv heard of is to see the paid apps in market, but i wouldnt be able to buy them right? (i am in canada).
second, i dont know when we will get 1.6, or even if we will.. but im hoping it has the newest flash. I would love to be able to watch streaming video from the interent (like full movies, tv shows etc(besides youtube)) and right now only smotri works slightly, and i could really use z share videos! and since we dont have flash yet, im hoping there is some way to stream to the hero from my computer!
i have tried tversity.. i can get video playing at about 3 frames a second but audio works fine.
i have tried watching videos off my comp through remote desktop (i knew it wasnt gunna work but i haad to try)
SO my question is, is there any way to tream to the hero!?
*all of this IS over wifi
thanks in advance!
So i finally recieved a allshare cast dongle. However no matter what i do it displays nothing on my tv (or a monitor i tried it with). I'm guessing its DOA, but i just wanted to hear if anyone have any tricks before i send it back...
*Update* Got a replacement. Works great, much better than the HTC media link HD. Fairly smooth without being perfect. Seems the picture is compressed quite a bit though. Running JB leak btw.
Allshare cast dongle don't work with custom roms I hope that, they fix it as soon as posible.

I know, which is why i went back to stock... But thats not the issue. I can connect and all, but nothing gets displayed... Not even the "welcome" screen seen in video previews...
Updated OP
Hmm... At home it works like crap... I suspect due to 2.4ghz congestion... However it should run on 5ghz, but there seems to be nowhere to check that :
Also the audio plays through the phone speaker... (Might be a JB problem though)
im getting the wireless allshare cast dongle here shortly....and i just wanted to know. will it work with all android phones? My note, Skyrocket, S3....and future use with my Note 2 ?
i dont think i will buy one if i can not use it down the line or with my other phones.
Hello everyone,
I am having a issue with my 2nd brand new phone from TMobile. I sent the first back because the audio and video didn't sync when i recorded video with my phone and transferred them to a pc. When watching the video on the phone itself, it works perfectly. I tried 2 different pc's and a laptop, i tried different cables plugged into different usb ports, emailed a short video, used wmp, vlc, and kies software, updated my codec packs, wiped the cache on my phone, reset to factory condition, changed a setting on the camera to -2, changed the audio to record from camcorder and not the mic, and im sure a few more things I have found on the internet. I've contacted Samsung and TMobile and they both say it was a defective handset and to return it. I did that and received my new unit and still have the same issues. TMobile says it is not a known issue and to return this one also, said there is no way a third unit will have the same problem. I've already spent $40 on shipping and went 2 weeks without a phone (prepaid so no loaners) and don't wish to do it again for another defective phone. Has anyone else had any luck fixing this problem? This is the white s2 from tmobile, never been rooted or hacked so its all stock rom. I have tried the lg camera app also but the app kept freezing every time i would hit the record button.
Thanks in advance for any help given.
Rooting phone
Ok, since I'm not getting any responses with this topic, how about this. Would rooting my phone and using a different rom help? I was told that there was different apps I could use for the camera that would work better then the stock software, is this true? I am open to any suggestions. The odds of me getting 2 different phones that has the same flaw can't be a coincidence and don't really want to go without a phone again for 2 weeks waiting for a replacement with the same problem again.

Hey ellegon18 - browsing for answers to your same question, I came across your thread. Wondering if you (or anyone else) have ever found a fix?
Hi
Does anyone use the Sky Go Tablet app on the Z2 tablet? I have been having some frustrating conversations on Sky's own forums; some people say it works fine and others say it won't run! I haven't bought the tablet yet so would really like to know before I spend £400. It's an app that must work for me else having the Z2 will be pointless.
Anyone on here able to confirm whether it works or not?
Many thanks!

It does work but I do have issues with freezing of downloaded content which suddenly starts to buffer and then you can't do anything. A helpful message appears saying to skip forward in the video but you can't as it's unreponsive. The sound is also shockingly bad as in it sounds like listening to an AM radio.
Folks,
I'm not sure if this issue occurred during 4.4 Kit-kat, but it definitely has happened on Lollipop.
I purchased a 612 in Japan a few months ago. The Lollipop update wasn't coming through for me (and I had some Wi-Fi frequency issues), so when I finally saw an apparently official 612 American (I'm American) ROM to flash, I diligently followed instructions and successfully installed 5.0. I've since upgraded to 5.1.1 using Sony's PC Companion.
Anyways, onto the issue, which I believe this is the ONLY community on the net that could possibly help me with.
In Netflix, and seemingly ONLY on Netflix (as in, not via the Videos app, YouTube, etc), when a movie has high speed panning/action, there is a tear in the first 1/3 of the screen (a vertical one), toward the SONY logo. When I flip the tablet 180 degrees, it's on the opposite 1/3 of the screen!
The ONLY thought I have is that maybe the Japanese models physically have a different refresh rate than the US ones, and in flashing my unit, I managed to run into that issue? And perhaps Netflix is one app that doesn't VSYNC properly? I've tested every thing under the sun and while I originally thought it was happening only after I pulled the notifications tab down from the top, I recently had it happen without touching anything after a fresh restart.
I LOVE this tablet, but honestly, Netflix in bed is a HUGE use case for me. I'd LOVE to solve this issue. If anyone can help (and please let me know if more info is needed btw), I'm exceedingly grateful.
Just noticed the same thing on my UK sgp612 running lollipop. Dud you find any solution?
