Need advice and opinion from other users....
I was given a screen protector. The shop applied it beautifully for me. Maybe this is aggravating the response? I know I will suffer from fingerprints if I decide to remove it, because this one I have, (sorry, don't know the name or brand) is very effective at keeping prints away...
Remove or not to remove?

I don't have a protector. I find the glass wonderful under the finger. Smooth and soft to touch, also much less prone to fingerprints than the pre-applied shatter-proof protectors of old.
I'm crossing fingers on scratches, though from my experience the glass Sony uses is pretty good against scratches.
Without the protector and with the FW update the device is 'ok' touch responsive, not perfect, but it does seem to be getting better with use, perhaps it was just a case of working into the device.
On a separate note, over on xda someone stated that the Z2 Tab was originally supposed to support pen input, but the support as pulled, hopefully only at a FW level. Which means that we'll have to wait for an easy root option and patch to open up the pen input (like Z1 users do).

Hi everyone!
I am thinking to upgrade my Xperia Tablet S 32gb to the Z2 and wondered if the charging port on the Z2 was the same as on the Tablet S.
I have a USB adaptor that plugs into the Tablet S that allows me to connect a flash drive. Wondered if I can use the same on the Z2 !
Thanks!

The Z2 Tablet uses the new magnetic port for charging or a regular micro-usb port for either charging or data transferral.
I believe the Tablet S has it's own proprietary port at the bottom for docking, data and charging. This is not going to be compatible.
The micro-usb on the side is quite standard to most smartphones and will be usable with the Z2 Tablet too.
This tablet is amazing by the way. Even compared to the Tablet Z. Well worth the upgrade.
Only disappointments are the touch sensitivity won't allow pen input (hoping for a root hack) and in android 4.4 manual management of the sdcard is blocked (plugging into the PC allows full control and root also allows control).

Thanks Ricky D !
I will think about the Tablet Z2 ! I have a new Sony TV and can also mirror easily to the TV!
I will sleep on it, but might buy tomorrow! Wish I could find one in store!

You can also connect any speakers to the bluetooth receiver, and to a HiFi set with this cable,thats how it is connected here.

Got one of those bluetooth receivers, use it in the car.
Not the same as an all in one solution for charging and speakers in a neat desktop package. £100 is about double what it's worth though.
Also I don't have speakers set up around the house and my PC speakers only have a single input method.
I may just get the regular dock instead.

Hi Pt020,
what's the model number for the Sony receiver, may I ask?
I will search for it more, but an initial search didn't help!
edit - still could not find it, but sleep time now...

That particular bluetooth device shown is
Stereo Bluetooth® Headset SBH20.
It's ok and around £35 in the UK online Sony store.
It can remember pairing to more than device too (essential if youplan on using your phone and tablet at different times without wanting to re-pair the things).
I was going to say an older model might be able to be picked up on the cheap e.g. MW600 but then I did
a quick google... not quite what I expected!
