Moi started to has problem nowadays, want to type keyboard dun appear. Close app can see delay of 1.5 seconds. Everything seen to getting slower. Getting retarted. Hard reset a few times oso like tat. And its getting hotter at the back after use.

Brought in October 2013. Frankly, i started to realise might be the hardware lifespan is due soon.

Nevertheless it served moi well for the passed 19mths.

Should be problem with 5.0.2. Ever since i sideload 5.1 via adb, the tab is smooth and responsive again... Haven't restart my tab for 3 days whereas i need to restart once or twice per day with 5.0.2 due to lag, hang or memory leak.

why urs cannot update to 5.1? Yesday as i was rearranging apps on my tab s which still on 5.0.2 suddenly some shortscut disappear into the bubble of my live wallpapers. Then it appear in different folder here n there when i restarted. The guess is the bug of 5.0.2.

You must be joking right? There is no need for root or unlock or anything to sideload. It's sideload not flashing which you will have to wipe/factory reset plus additional steps to do when flashing.

Bro, how to side load 5.1?
Click to expand...

Download the OTA zip (important OTA zip not factory image, they're not the same)
Boot your phone to recovery
Choose apply update via adb
Connect ur phone to your PC via USB
Type adb sideload <ota file name> on terminal

That's it, wait for it to finish updating and reboot.

You don't need to root to push via adb.

I just gotten my 5.1 this morning via OTA.

Have to test test and see if it helps.. btw these few months the battery is deteriorating not sure if it's coming of age or is it because of lousy fw.

adb sideloading ota zip doesn't require root or bootloader unlock.....it's basically you using the manual download ota zip package and do it yourself instead of waiting for google to push it to you...

fastboot flash <command> .....now this is the one that requires bootloader unlock...

rooting is NOT required for flashing images via fastboot!! Root is on the OS level, fastboot took place even before the OS is booted.....think of it as the BIOS/EFI of a PC.....

Hi, I tried to connect to wireless@sgx using sim card method with my nexus 7 2013 for auto connect, but I can't seem to find the sim card choice in the WiFi settings. Does anyone know how to get this done? With my moto g dual sim, there is a sim choice that I can choose under WiFi settings to auto connect to the wireless@sgx. Anyone has any advice?
