2. Lag in the Performance
Problem – We categorize this issue as the most common issue among all the Android devices. There are several reasons for lagging issue and by taking few precautions the users can easily overcome the issue.
Solution – To avoid the lag issue you need to improve the performance. One way to do is by disabling any special effects or animations in the phone. Open ‘Settings>About Phone’ and tap few times on the ‘Build number’ option which enables the developer options. Now, you can find these options under settings. Open them and scroll down to find animation settings where by default, everything will be pointed to 1x. So, now turn them off or reduce the points to 0.5x so as to improve the performance of the device.
Next thing you need to perform is clear app cache and wipe cache partition. For clearing app cache, open each app from the app manager and tap on ‘Clear Cache’ button. For wipe cache partition, you need to press volume up and power button at the same time (while keeping phone ON). After few seconds, you will feel vibration for three times indicating that the process of wipe cache partition is completed. By now, the device should get free from lag issue. If not, perform factory reset of the phone as explained in the first solution.

4. Tap to wake option is not working
Problem – Well, Sony Xperia Z2 users were very happy about the tap to wake feature as it can decrease the use of pressing buttons every time. But, there seems to be a problem with this feature for some users as they reported that this feature is not waking the screen.
Solution – Make sure that you have checked all the options correctly without any mistakes. Open ‘Settings>Display>Tap to wake up’ and enable the option. Now, tap two times on the screen and it should awake and if not try waking it up by keeping the phone on a level surface. If everything fails, then factory reset the phone as explained in solution 1 and get the issue resolved.
5. Dropped Calls/Proximity Sensor Issue
Problem – Most of the Xperia Z2 users reported that the calls are dropping randomly and sometimes even the display is off after the end of the call. Well, this can be due to the proximity sensor and so by performing certain tasks you can resolve this issue.
Solution – Well, first of all, try to replace the screen protector as this may be primary reason for obstructing the proximity sensor. Even then the problem persists, then disable the tap to wake up feature under ‘Settings>Display’. Also, check the proximity sensor under ‘Settings>About Phone>Diagnostics’ and choose test device and Ear proximity. If everything fails, then try to replace the handset with a new one.
6. Slow Charging and Battery Issue
Problem – Many users reported that the device charging very slowly and even after the full charge, the battery is draining faster than usual. Well, there are few precautions by which you can resolve this issue.
Solution – Always make sure to charge the device with original battery chargers and never attempt to charge the device by connecting it to PC or laptop. By using original batter chargers, the device should charge quickly, and it also ensures the long battery life.
Avoid using Live Wallpapers and Widgets on the phone as they drain the battery faster. Disable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, data and GPS options whenever not in use. Also, remove the bloatware and unnecessary apps as they cause over-heating and battery draining issues. So, uninstall or disable them to get more battery life.
