I picked up a tab 2 recently and I like it a lot. But I recently upgraded to their official lollipop and the results have been sub par. The WiFi keeps disconnecting. The performance seems slower. Is there any way I can flash the older official KitKat rom instead? If not is there another tablet someone would recommend because I'm thinking of returning this one based on the recent update alone.

I had this same problem, along with other issues. Although I watched the update download and install successfully, I decided to try a reload. I charged the tablet first, then connected it to a USB port to ensure trickle power kept it going, and performed a FULL factory restore. It restored the newest version (Update A10-70F to S000118_150710_ROW), and after 2 days of continuous use, I am happy to say that disconnects and other issues are solved. Except the battery recharge seems to take forever . . .
Although I did not save the update, I do have the 3 previous versions available.

Slow Rechaarge
Follow-up to earlier comment about slow recharge times.
I just checked all my cables with a meter. No problems there. Now to check the outputs of the factory and 3rd-party chargers:
1. MusicPower (Apple Store) "Quartet" charger:
Input 100/240vac 50/60Hz 0.3aMax (yes, that's zero point three), OUTPUT 500mA on each of the 4 individual ports.
2. Lenovo IdeaPad (factory) "HuntKey: charger (shipped with Lenovo S6000-F tablet, which looks almost identical to the Tab 2 A10-70 series):
Input 100/240vac 50/60Hz 0.2aMax (yes, that's zero point two), OUTPUT 5.0v, 0.2a
3. Lenovo C-P35 charger (shipped with TAB 2 A10-70F):
Input 100/240vac 50/60Hz 0.5aMax (yes, that's zero point five), OUTPUT 5.2v, 2.0a
An empirical test shows that using the correct charger has cut recharge time by about 60%.
Since many reports are about slow recharge with different devices, Your Mileage May Vary.
Hope this helps.
I also am using a Tab 2 A10-70 F and have a few issues with Lollipop that did not happen using KitKat. Most are minor but battery life is not as good and WiFi is slow to connect and the signal strength is not as strong.
I have not done a full factory restore but may try it soon to see if the issues will resolve.

For me no. But when I use samsung tab4 and tab2 its tragical diference on touch sesitivity. Samsung fork correctly, but tab2 so so bad.
Do you guys leave Wifi connected all the time ? My battery life was awfull (with android 4.4), like it wouldn't last one day, with using it less than one hour, and I found out that the main culprit was "WLAN". Since I installed the Doze application and everything went back to normal. I'm wondering if someone had this problem ? Maybe a factory reset could help ?

Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F
I have a Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F with Android 5.1, Build A8-50F_S000037_151023_ROW.
The most annoying thing is WiFi. Even with activated setting to keep it on with screen off, it takes up to 2 minutes after turning screen on to reconnect WiFi. It seems that every app with "network changing" event fires up, and after 1-2 minutes I am able to do what I wanted to do.
With the App "Wake Lock" I can prevent this behaviour sometimes.
I am sad about this, because this tablet is absolutely okay for me to read and work and play (okay, 2 GB instead of 1 GB RAM would be nicer).
Battery life is absolutely okay for me, even if "Wake Lock" keeps the tab "online". Actually there is no update for fixing this.

Now that there are a couple of versions of the 'official' Lollipop update floating around for the Z3v and people are using it, what's the verdict? What are your thoughts? Was it worth the wait? Is it running alright, better, or worse, than KK? Any problems or concerns?
It might help if you let us know which version you installed (.485 or .509), if you're rooted, and if you did a clean wipe and install or flashed over your previous version.

It does not. I don't think it works on either build, but I'm running version .485, FYI.
Multi-user / guest mode also has been deactivated and is missing.
Im actually enjoying the update, fun little things here and there. Im greatful to have the update everything works well.
I have the unrooted .485 build. To my knowledge almost everything is working perfectly. Battery life is the same if not better. I love Sony's take on material design. The only two things missing are multiple user accounts and the ability to do voice over data, but I do not think that will be turned on until Verizon officially releases the update. Since verizon hasn't released it yet, I'm positive they haven't "hit the switch" to turn it on for our devices.
I'm waiting for Verizon to push this to my phone but am a little concerned that pdanet/foxfi will stop working for me when it comes. Any thoughts on this? What are my risks of waiting on not rooting? Wi-Fi hotspots is critical for me.

I'm actually experiencing a dramatic DROP in battery charge longevity and haven't been able to find out what's doing it.
Other than that, the upgrade is "OK", but without the missing features that we're waiting on Verizon for, I'm not sure it was worth all the hassle.
I just look at it as good practice for when 2 have to go through all this crap again when they finally do release the good stuff.
Edit...
After having whittled down some of the background apps that I had done in K.K. (per Gigaspx's list), I am now experiencing much better battery life. Also, now that I have Xposed-lollipop-z3v working to tweak the interface, it's looking less foreign to me and more intuitive.
I had both versions installed and clearly prefer 509. I had WiFi issues with 485 and my phones was overheating while wireless charging. 509 fixed those issues and everything is working fine. Compared to 4.4.4 everything is faster and I rely like the new lollipop interface. I haven't done any testing but I think that the battery life also improved.
I'm on 509 and have seen a few odd things.
My GPS locked up the other day and would not update my location. I had to reboot to fix it. This has never happened to me on this phone before.
Hitting recent apps lags. It takes long enough to come up with the list of recent apps that I start to question whether or not I hit the button every single time.
Settings from Tasker profiles that have always worked without a hitch are not being respected. For example, the screen will continuously turn off after 5 or 10 seconds but when I check the settings for screen timeout it says 2 minutes. Re-applying the profile works as expected after.
Other than that I'm enjoying LP. I'll have to do some testing to see what I can fix.

so can we downgrade from lolipop to kitkat?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'm starting to have a constant wakelock. No idea why and I cant fully charge with a wireless charger.
I have only had lollipop a couple of days now (flashed 509). So far I like it. Battery is about the same, never have had any lag, maybe lollipop is a little faster? Several things I like - BT seems more stable, lock screen controls are now more consistent, and the security features are better (I use a pin to lock my phone). I generally like the small changes to the interface.
Things I don't like. The volume controls is not intuitive (muting etc). Themes don't work as well either. Can't seem to get navigation buttons to change.

I had Bluetooth problems updating to non root 5.02 without doing a factory reset. I switched back to 4.4.4, rooted and then updated with dual recovery and have had no issues for the past two weeks. My sony smartband talk watch was having a lot of problems which prompted me to go back to a clean factory reset 4.4.4 and then root. I used kingroot and installed recovery before flashing the prerooted 5.02. I'm getting 5.5 hours sot and its very stable.

I tested my Z3V on 5.02 with my son's Galaxy S5 and it does work including HD Video.
I was having the notification tray freeze up the whole phone from time to time. Had to force reboot.
Anyone else? It only happens sometimes when pulling it down.
Hello everybody, here I am for some informations about the battery life of galaxy alpha. I am using an official stock rom 5.0.2 of Samsung. I charge my phone 2 or 3 times per day, but recently I check the battery usage in the setting and I see the wifi seems to be actived all the time even I set it off. Please check the attachment file for screenshot. I just wonder if the problem comes from firmware or I just have to change my battery?

I don't know which firmware I have to use, I'm afraid I will lose all the functions of Samsung. I had flashed the cyanogenmod on my old galaxy note, it's not stable at all. I just hope the Alpha will receive any update (marshmallow) even this may not be happend.

Wi-fi location scanning
There are two possibilities for excessive battery consumption with wi-fi. If your phone is set to always scan, then this will still cause the battery to drain as the wi-fi is never really disabled.
Disable this function with 'Settings > Wi-fi > advanced > always keep wi-fi on > never' the advanced settings are under the little 3dot menu at the top right of the wi-fi settings screen.
The other option may be that Google's location services may be causing a drain by using wi-fi to geolocate you.
Try disabling location services for a day and see how it pans out for you.
If neither of these help then I'm all out.
Good luck

Hello,
I flashed my Oukitel K6000 Pro to Android Nougat 7.0, which was recently officially released on Oukitel's websites. Everything works like a charm except for fast charging. It takes literally hours to charge the phone with a charger that in Marshmallow charged the phone fully in few hours. I've found out that people using Samsung phones and some other brands have similar issue after Nougat update with an exception, though. Their Nougat's settings look different than Oukitel's. In Oukitel's there's no fast charging setting to enable, or disable the fast charging. I've tried to find some solution, but could not find any.
May anybody help me to fix this?
Thank you so far

Exactly, you're not alone in this.
From what I've gathered over Oukitel's official Facebook via comments, many users are experiencing this issue too.
But I've also found a great deal of those still running 6.0 have started to experience battery charging issues as well since the 7.0 update was made public.
Not sure how this is possible since their OTA app hasn't indicated any patches and hasn't updated anything that would lead to this issue happening on all Oukitel phones. Not just the K6000 Pro.
The funny side of it, You can't charge it enough to even do a flash...
This one user on youtube has found that their Oukitel K4000 isn't even drawing a charge when plugged in. (removed as new user I can't post links) watch?v=OvgN_QN5nE8

Hello,
I know few Oukitel K6000 Pro users, nobody has complained yet about the phone's Marshmallow charging issue. But anyway... This particular issue means the fast charging problem, particularly on K6000 Pro. The phone charges fully, it takes way more time, though, and it got triggered after the flash, to Nougat 7.0. I think it is a very specific issue, which has nothing to do with: 1. issues the users of other Oukitel's phones are facing (having its own specifics), and/or 2. with some K6000 Pro users' issues they face on Marshmallow.
I contacted right after the issue's recognition also Oukitel themselves. They responded, promising to make some tests in order to diagnose and potentially fix its Nougat's fast charging issue. Another K6000 Pro user, I know, received the answer informing him that Oukitel is aware of the issue, and that it tries to find out, where the cause is located... Let us see.
OTA update, any improvement for you regarding the fast charge issue?
Hello,
there's a new OTA update for Oukitel K6000 Pro. Did the update do any improvement for you regarding the fast charge issue? Not for me.
Thanks.
having the same issue here and im in the uk . Is there a way to downgrade or is it worth installing a custom rom?
I have never neither tried any custom rom for my Oukitel K6000 Pro, nor downgraded it, so I can't tell you. Nevertheless, I've discussed the issue continually with another owner of this phone, and we found out that a cable with a high current throughput may fix the issue. I may recommend Syncwire ~ SW-MC013. The connector of this cable is not as long as the original Oukitel's however, still holds in the phone's port quite well. ('Fast Charge & Sync - Cables are made with 23 AWG High Gauge Low Impedance wires which enable Syncwire cable to deliver up to 2.4 Amp current and transfer data up to 480 Mbits via USB 2.0. ' - https://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-Android-Charger-Super-Durable/dp/B01GFB1SLC) Also a good charger with voltage up to 9V may help. The original has, I think, 5V max.
My phone seems to have, though, issues also with the phone's port. Sometimes, with the Syncwire's cable, it's recharged quickly in few hours, at other times, it doesn't recognize connected cables at all, or there are short gaps withing the charging process, or charging takes way longer. SW-MC013 is being recognized the best from all the cables I have here and tried. So I would like to try to replace the port soon. When I have it replaced, I'll inform here, if the issue is really fixed. The other owner's phone stopped having the issues with the appropriate charger and cable (he's, actually, recommended me the Syncwire's SW-MC013 cable).

Did you find the way how to downgrade or installed another custom rom, do you have it fixed?

Hello, all, it's been a while. I'll add some story to this, hopefully useful. I actually changed the phone and gave my K6000 Pro to a friend of mine, who needed any better phone than hers, which K6000 Pro apparently was. She still has Nougat 7.0 (original stock ROM) on it and faces the same issue, but we're gonna change that. It's possible to make it charge faster with appropriate cables on Nougat, but it's still only a normal charging mode perhaps, running slightly faster, but definitely not fast charging. Lately I've got another K6000 Pro after a while for another friend of mine. I faced some charging issues, too, on its original Marshmallow Android 6 stock ROM. These issues were of a different type, though. I flashed it to Nougat to see what happens, how it reacts on a fast charger I've got from Oukitel to K3. This charger is way stronger than K6000 Pro's original. It offers 5/7/9 V mode, and 2 A. Its cable is also way more thick, and definitely supports fast charging. When I charged the phone with its original OS with this charger, it showed even a different graphic in its turned off mode, the same as on K3, and everything really went very fast. After the flash, including all Oukitel's updates, surprise, surprise, things got slower, the graphic stayed the same as in a normal charging mode. It was slightly faster, but definitely not that fast as with the previous OS. So I continued testing, and found this: https://www.needrom.com/download/oukitel-k6000-pro-6-0/ Here you can download the latest released Marshmallow stock ROM for K6000 Pro. There's also a specific version of software allowing you to safely downgrade the firmware to it. When I did that, the fast charging was right back. For this version of stock ROM, there's an update with basically one described fix: charging. After this update, all the previous phone's charging issues were gone. It started to fast charge again, works like a charm now. So that's it. I don't recommend the official Nougat stock ROM made by Oukitel, because they have never really dealt with its recharging drivers.
Unlock issue
After flashing my Oukitel to Nougat the phone needs ages to unlock, 7 seconds to be exactly. When I lock the phone and immediately unlock it again everything is fine but when it rests a few moments and I try to unlock it again it needs the 7 seconds to react. Same goes for calling. During the call the phone locks the screen to prevent some actions, when I put the phone away from my head it needs time to be ready again. Someone had that too?
I have it as a backup device and keep it in the bathroom to play music while taking a shower. Would love to find a slim, fast new ROM of 8.0

Is it possible to adjust volume in CrDroid Custom Rom Nougat 7.1.2 similarly as in MTK Engineering Mode? I guess it's not possible to start Engineering Mode in CrDroid Custom Rom Nougat 7.1.2 or any other custom rom, right? Without it, it's unusable.

MTKEM access is there but, available options in many cases are not working. I'm having phone's microphone issues, it seems to not work at all.
Speaking of CrDroid, after installing it with TWRP 3.0.2 (the only working from all versions I tried), the internal emulated storage is not accessible in both available versions on needrom.com.
Can you remember how to fix it?
Just moved from a Nexus 6P to 10 Pro and I'm really impressed : battery life is awesome, regularly get nearly 2 days usage and that's with BT and WiFI turned on! I was lucky to get a couple of hours on the 6P in the end - I kid you not!
Anyway, when I first got the phone (end Nov17) I could use MirrorShare to with my LG TV however I've noticed that I am now unable to do that: it's not a massive issue but it's buggin me that it don't work anymore.
Also, as an FYI - after reading a thread on here, I've notice my phone is also having WiFi issues connecting to 5Ghz - it seems to connect instantly to 5Ghz, then switches.... odd - again, not a big issue at the moment but it is buggin me.
Other than that, just getting used to the quirks of EMUI as opposed to vanilla Android.
BLA-L09 8.0.0.125(C432)
No updates available according to the phone....

You don't have to wait for Huawei to push the update, you can use Firmware Finder for that. You can update to B127a (c432) using that app.

I think that someone reported some issue installing the B127 (c432) from 05/01/2018 so that's why i recommended B127a (c432) from 23/12/2017 (or something around that date).
Use the FullOTA package, the biggest one! [emoji6]
I just received a new Galaxy Tab S6. WiFi only version. (SM-T860NZALXAR)
It has Android 9, and One UI version 1.5 on it.
Should I update it or not?
Do they take away any features with the update that I may want?

What features are you after or you think will go missing once you update your Tab S6 ? i manually updated it and i'm loving it! it's really smooth and fast! Only nag i think i got a real slight battery drain or maybe it's learning my usage patterns then it will settle down as i flashed it with Odin i flashed Home-CSC as that keeps data intact..
I'll give it a week or 2 if the battery drain dont improve i'll do a factory reset but please note i'm talking about 2/3% battery loss over 6 hour standby before i was only losing 1% ove the same period!

I've updated and I see no reason not to. As far as I can tell, nothing's broken, everything works fine.
I just remember when my Note 9 updated from Android 8 to 9, and took away my automatic call recording. Which should not be an issue with this device. I just get nervous about the updates now.
