[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
The 3588 build (which should arrive as an OTA Update) has a more generic launcher built in. Easy to switch to it if your wife prefers the standard Android interface. No need to load a custom ROM unless you choose to.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunglint:
what I did with my woot-g

charged it all the way up

started it up

added to my wi-fi

ran the update (it'll ask you to)

rooted

installed clockwork recovery, did a backup, reboot

copied backup to sdcard2

recovery, repartitioned (2048/0), factory reset, reboot

recovery, backup again, reboot

copy new backup to sdcard2, copy old backup back to sdcard

recovery, restore old backup, reboot

played a while then installed TNT lite.

probably missed a few steps but overall this made backups as soon as I could while moving forward. There is no comparison between the stock rom and TNTlite, am looking forward to trying vegan5.1.1
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] couchmonkey:
Yeah I jumped 20 feet forward and installed VEGAN Gingerbread even before it was fully charged. played with it a little, then read some more and installed VEGAN 5.0

loving it and haven't even scratched the surface yet.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HoLyCoWzOrZ:
I charged it, then when it was fully charged, i installed CWM, then VEGAN.

I never did a OTA update before installing CWM and VEGAN.

Does that mean that I messed something up or will lose some functionality?

ZB

I got mine yesterday (FL)

and as this is my 3rd tablet (wife has an augen and I have a ZT180) I have to say that the ROM that is pre loaded is MUCH better than you have heard.

Now it may not be lightening fast, but what will you be comparing it to?

No Market, but I have about 9 DVD's full of APK's that I will NEVER get through.

That being said I DID the TNTLITE update, but then again I cant even ESTIMATE the number of FW flashes I have done since I got the Augen in August (which BTW is also a pretty decent tablet)

but I have to say, there is a RUMOR around the net that ONE of the more recent updates from viewsonic will NOT allow a 3rd party flash, but like I said I did 1 over the air update to 3588 and then went TNTlite

but I also have a lot of experience doing them, BUT I will say hands down this is one of the best tablets I have used (even at the retail price)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greymane98:
No....Vegan should have entirely replaced the original firmware so it made no difference whether you updated or not.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i3igi3yrd:
I've only really used Cyanogenmod on my HTC Incredible. On my tablet, thus far, I've tried vanilla, Cyanogen, and Vegan. I think I've found Vegan to be my ROM of choice.

TNT Lite

I just flashed the newest edition of TNT lite (4.4.0) and I was blown away by how easy it was. I would really recommend it. Very easy to use for anyone who is not a pro at this kinda stuff.

Woot Deal

Hey guys just got the tab off woot. Charged it then. Loaded clockwork then cleared cache data then rebooted. Then added tnt 4.2 it worked for about 6 hours then of course when I tried to turn it on it keeps rebooting. What should I do? Is it a good idea to take the tnt off? Or can I do that? I'm just pretty upset right now. Can anyone help me out please?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greymane98:
To fix the boot loop you will need to repartition the card and then reinstall the ROM. Boot into clockwork mod then select repartion and set 1st selection to 2048 and second to 0. This will wipe your tab tho. You will then have to reinstall the ROM.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mernst2:
Thanks

You saved my life man. For some reason the stock rom has been erased for the tab also. Does anyone have the stock rom?

[Atrix 4G General] KingKuba13:
This is the phone I was waiting to get. Received good reviews at majority of sites.

But reading about all the nightmares on every forums, all the bugs, everyone returning/exchanging it,etc.

I played with one at store for over an hour and it seemed very quick with not too many problems. I liked but its not enough time to see all the problems.

The Bell store here is selling it for $0 now on a contract. That's how desperate they are to get rid of it.

So in 10 days the price was already chopped twice.

Am I really going to have to go thru 5 units to find a decent working one?

I can live with a locked bootloader for now but everyday a new issue seems to be coming up.

It seems like this phone is a year away from being done/updated.

What are the main problems/defects I should check on before exchanging for another to make sure I'm not stuck with a crappy model.

Thanks.

Wished Motorola would get their heads out their asses with all their products.

Come out with something good then they do everything they can to **** it up somehow. You can tell them you'll sell millions of their crappy stock and they still would not unlock the bootloader. That's how seriously stupid they are.

btw, I'm actually a Motorola shareholder. Thankfully Motorola Solutions is not a complete loser.
[Atrix 4G General] ranova:
I came from a captivate and Nexus one. I dont have any glaring issues - theres ALWAYS *****ing for every phone whenever its released. Take everything you read on forums with a grain of salt.
[Atrix 4G General] captaincanada84:
I've never had one issue with mine. People just like to ***** no matter how great the device is.
[Atrix 4G General] NonovUrbizniz:
I have had ZERO problems with my phone out of the box. Same goes for 2 other people I know personally.

One just doesn't like Blur.

My brother used it as his primary computer since he got it and can't stop extolling the virtues of Webtop.

He's an IT professional and coordinated a 13+ site migration from one network to another ALL from the Laptop dock.

Some of the sites he was at didn't have wifi so he was using webtop over AT&T for his ONLY connection.

Said he spent more time trouble shooting his laptop the one day he forgot the charger for the Laptop Dock then he spent troubleshooting the phone or laptop dock for the entire 2 weeks.

If citrix is a big part of your life this phone could revolutionize your life.
[Atrix 4G General] Greenbelt:
No problems here. I haven't experienced any bugs except for the touch screen wigging out after a 12 second hold in one place.

It is a little disconcerting that Bell has decided to drop the price only a few weeks into launch. I hope the community stays strong because I intend on keeping it.
[Atrix 4G General] crippenx:
Ditto for me -- I'm using an unlocked AT&T version on Rogers network in Canada --- absolutely LOVE the phone. Came from a Galaxy-S, Captivate, and iPhone 4 before that.

This is the best one by far, and the best android implementation so far for me.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
$0 on contract!?! holy ****. just get it!
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
andy2na and captaincanada84 are right, some people will ***** just to *****. With that said, I have done my fair share of "complaining" but it's based on my opinion. You really can't go to a forum and ask people if you should buy something because you are going to get both sides of the fence. Just browse the forum and pay attention to what people are praising about and what people are complaining about and try to decide from that. It's really going to come down to YOUR preference.
[Atrix 4G General] rukcus:
I love my atrix.

My only problem is the facebook contact sync because of moto blur, I am having some issues with it not updating my contacts pictures.

Battery life is awesome I am sometimes in disbelief how long the battery lasts 1 day + with everything on and actually using the phone which is a must..

My phone doesn't randomly reboot I don't know about other people.

As for the locked bootloader I'm not in a rush. I have launcher pro and root so thats all I need.

Previous phones. G1, Nexus one, Dell Streak.
[Atrix 4G General] Sugarkryptonite:
Dude what Bell store is that? It's still $69.95 on the Bell site.
[Atrix 4G General] tjp888:
You just need to remember that nobody goes to a forum to state that everything is working perfectly, they only post when they have a problem. So, you have to keep that in mind.

I've been running my Atrix since it was first released and it's been very stable. My only issue is it seems to not like my AT&T microcell too much. I get dropped connections when on my microcell. Works fine eveywhere else. It's a huge improvement over my Nexus 1.
[Atrix 4G General] knigitz:
Also think about how many people are using the phone that don't read forums... So far I am extremely happy with this phone. I usually hate upgrading because there is always another phone better right around the corner, but you'll find yourself waiting forever in that case. My only dislike is the facebook integration in blur breaking contact syncing.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Yes, please tell. I know a lot of people looking for an Atrix right now and would kill for that. If I weren't on a great retention rate plan with Rogers I'd get that in a heartbeat.
[Atrix 4G General] KingKuba13:
Thanks for replies everyone.

I think a lot of the negativity is people trying to trash a new device or envy. Plus it gets popular to trash any locked phone these days.

I've been waiting to get this phone since it was announced. The 4" screen seems perfect in size. Had no problem looking at the pentile graphics.

Its just scary to see the price drop so fast, it rarely happens here in Canada unless something is a super flop like the Samsung Tab, idk.

But I'm mostly going to get it in a few days and hopefully there's a good future with it and developers on here. Always learn something new. Some people are just to lazy to play around with the phone to get the max out of it.

How is the overheating? It seemed rather warm at the store.
[Atrix 4G General] KingKuba13:
It was in a Bell store in London Ontario.

Dude at Future Shop said he'd be match the 0$ too.

Makes me think twice when stores do that compared to whinny kids on forums because money talks and its obviously not selling that well.
[Atrix 4G General] Sugarkryptonite:
Yea I asked Bell why the price drop to $69.95 and they said "because we like to give our customers a discount", which is total BS, but it's not like they're going to flat out tell me the device is a flop.

If you want to pick it up I would suggest getting it soon because according to the Bell reps I talked to the sale ends on March 31st.

[Atrix 4G General] snowspomer:
Patience :) All devices are judged pretty harshly at the beginning.. You just got to reap from the benefits with a slashed price!
[Atrix 4G General] relaxed:
I'm completely happy with mine- it's fast, the screen is beautiful and it's got more internal storage than I need. If you're not a fan of motoblur, gingerblur will make you happy!

Go ahead and take the plunge.
[Atrix 4G General] KingKuba13:
Its hard to believe they'll put it back to the original price after the "sale" with all the new other smartphones coming but who knows.

More worried about Bell taking forever with updates. This with 2.3 and then 2.4 will just scream.
[Atrix 4G General] kbc88:
i love this phone to death.

best phone i have ever had.

The ability to turn into a PC is the biggest plus. This phone has so much potential. Honestly what motorola does with the bootloader and such sucks, but so long as we can at least root/sideload, personally, I am completely fine with that.

Motorola also stated that every one of their phones in the future will have webtop. So I will be sticking with motorola android phones (specially once Tegra 3D comes out) for a while until a better company has a similar PC like feature embedded on the phone. Can't go wrong with the powerful atrix! Emulators and games run SO smooth... love it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericdabbs:
I just read these rumors today. If this is true that Motorola might be the first to adopt the Tegra 3 quad core processor chip onto a tablet for a early Q3 fall release, I might hold off in buying my motorola xoom. The Tegra 3 chip is suppose to be released in August to manufacturers to put on tablets and smartphones and contains 3x faster graphics than the Tegra 2 with a 1.5 GHz max frequency. Check out the first link for the Nvidia roadmap for this year.

What do you guys think? Would you hold off in buying your xoom if this was true?

check out these 2 links about this story.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aohus:
i would definitely wait on the tegra3 tablet.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elysian893:
I'm hoping they do, I'll sell my Xoom for one, love Moto hardware.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericdabbs:
I am kinda torn on these new rumors. Part of me wants to get the xoom now and be done with it so I can start customizing it and playing with it. The other part of me thinks it might be smart just to wait a few more months especially if they say they will try to aim for a sept release of a quad core xoom. I would love to have the Tegra 3 processor since it has 3x graphics, supports higher resolution with blu-ray support, and 1.5Ghz max frequency.

I guess I'll stick to my plan of test driving the wifi xoom until june (90 days return policy at costo) and then re-evaluate the other tablets and make a decision by end of june.

Hopefully by june, there will be more news if these rumors are real or not.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeman05:
So even if they release the chips to tablet manufactures in August, how long until we see a tablet using one? December? January? March? Later?

I'll enjoy my Xoom now, and when we finally see a Tegra 3...then I'll upgrade.

These tablets aren't nearly expensive enough to justify waiting around imo.

Besides, once the "Quad-Core Tegra 3" comes out, you know there will be rumors of a hex-core Tegra 4...how long will you wait?

Now if you don't need a tablet now, or are hard up for cash...by all means...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csseale:
If you wait for the latest and greatest you will never own anything. 1 month after tegra 3 there will be tegra 5 already getting ready for production.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericdabbs:
If you see the second story, the rumor is that motorola will try to be the first manufacturer to produce a tablet that uses the tegra 3 processor and the ship date around september which isn't too far away.

If the rumor said that tablets will not use the tegra 3 processor until next april, then there is no point in waiting.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arun01:
Well I hope Verizon will let me upgrade to the Xoom 2.Every time I look at my account for the Xoom it clearly states "upgrade now".So we shall see.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arun01:
Yep I figure that it would come out next year if it does.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwizardtx:
No absolutely not, because I have a XOOM now and I will be able to enjoy it until the new product is available. Then I will sell my XOOM to someone who doesn't always want the newest latest bleeding edge thing to subsidize the cost of my newest latest bleeding edge thing.

Thank you!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krat0s123:
I agree on this 100%.. That's just how it is on the technology biz.. Once the new technology has been released, a better technology will be in line to get introduced not long after by the competitors.. And the good thing about us early adopters is that when upgrading time is up, we can sell our old device to get the new one, and those who wait ends up buying our old device from us.. Now the question is, which of the two would you wanna be?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Old MuckenMire:
It's my opinion that these rumors are being propagated by Moto/Android/Tablet competitors. Maybe Apple, but even more likely, places a little closer to home...like direct Moto Xoom competitors like Samsung and LG.

Think about it: how many games have come out that TRULY take advantage of dual core? How many games or apps have been released that truly take advantage of Honeycomb?

So many that we are all clamoring for quad core??? I think not. Not by a long shot.

Is Motorola working on a quad core device for release someday??? I'm sure they are, just like all manufacturers are. BUT dual core is where we are at and these rumors do NOTHING but stunt Xoom sales.

Now, who would do something like that? Google? Nope. Moto?? Nope.

I'll tell you who...the manufacturers who are all late to the game like Samsung who had to pull their 10.1 tablet and come up with a whole new one to even try and compete. LG maybe? Apple??

I cannot say, but something smells rotten. This bull**** rumor comes out to coincide with the Xoom WiFi launch is just too cute by half. Think about it for just a second: WiFi Xoom launches on 27th...on the 28th rumors of a Moto quad core come out???? That is no coincidence.

Somebody doesn't want us buying Xooms. And these same people will love selling us dual core devices in a few months when the rumors(they started) of Moto quad core have died out.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstruck!:
The shame of it is, if you delay your purchase waiting for the next great thing, you'll never buy, because as soon as it's released the next great thing vX.0 will be announced. Look at PC's over the years and how they've evolved, and continue to do so. Just too bad the tabs don't have socketed CPUs to upgrade.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericdabbs:
Love the responses by everyone. Just wanted to know what your guys thoughts were. Most likely, I'll buy my wifi xoom to keep in june.

I bought the wifi xoom at costco to test drive it for 90 days to see if I like it. Then I plan to return it and test out the other tablets that are coming out in june. If I like the xoom still, I'll just buy it from amazon to use my gift card balance and no tax.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steady Hawkin:
Well put, I'm not buyin that it would drop this year. Wouldn't be a good move for Motorola.

Imagine what this will be like in 4 - 5 years.

Man, I heard someone was coming out with a Tegra 3000 Deluxe edition. Can't wait! I'm just going to use my Moto RAZR until then, winning!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e.mote:
It won't be hardware that gets people to jump. A 4-core only runs faster, but a new Android rev will have more features. If Goog sticks to the 6-month cycle, then I-whazit would be a nice addition to that quad, hopefully in yuletide wrappings. We'll see if the early adopters have the stamina to keep up.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labbbby:
Haven't seen this link posted yet:

nVidia Kal-El

I am pretty sure we will have those chips in shipping products for Christmas shopping season. I think nVidia can execute well and it should have an easier time getting some design wins since the Tegra2 got Google's blessing.

One thing to remember is that Tegra2 is pretty old at this point, it was announced more then a year ago and did not really have any design wins until Google decided to use the SOC for Honeycomb. Now it would be foolish to think that Google chose this SOC without looking at roadmaps. It would also be foolish to think that Honeycomb cannot benefit from quad cores as the heavy lifting for multi threading is already done.

My personal point of view is the following, either be an early adopter and jump on the XOOM as soon as you can or wait for the holiday season. No matter how good the Samsung's look, it wouldn't touch them. I see them as 1.5 generation devices that will be released to close to Google I/O and most likely IceCream.

If you wait for holiday season, you should have a much more polished OS, hardware as well as a much more competitive landscape with better prices. My hunch is that we will see a Google Nexus Tab with quad core Kal-el somewhere in time for back to school/holidays. This would be very similar to the Droid with Android 2.0 to Nexus One with 2.1.

I was going for the XOOM wifi, but with lack of Honeycomb AOSP and a lack of real need for this device, I will wait...I could be wrong and we'll only know in six months or so!

TL;DR: By Xoom now or wait for holidays.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inrelief:
