[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlewis11:
Alright...I have been waiting and waiting for a good android tablet...and right now...the Xoom is the best thing out... I know we have a few more options coming down the road...but it is just bugging the hell out of me that I don't have one yet. I just want to know from those that have a Xoom...was it worth it? Do you plan on selling it, returning it, or trading it in for another HC Tablet like the new Galaxy Tabs(sexy),G Slate...HTC whatever....or any others coming down the pipeline? Are the bugs too much to deal with....is the SD card slot not working...that irritating ...does no USB hosting make you want to throw it out the window...Do you get way too many FC's....are you really sick and tired of being shown Mobile Versions of web sites???? I guess my real question is....Are you happy?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlewis11:
Oh...I plan on surfing the web, watching some movies on an upcoming flight, playing some games, checking emails...ummm...facebook...twitter....normal stuff....if that helps at all
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mh333:
It's been one week now and l'm happy with it so far.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlewis11:
Anything that just totally pisses you off sometimes?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
It's pushing it.

It's irritating that what I paid for is not what I got.

Personally, no. But I could easily see how it could.

YouTube and the Browser constantly FC. It's ****ing annoying. :mad:

The browser is nothing short of crap. And other browsers I've tried are even worse... usually in terms of a horrid UI.

The jury's still out. If I get to day 85 of my 90 day Costco return policy and nothing has changed, it's going back. If Motorola/Google can iron out all the bugs, and I see a steady stream of high quality tablet apps, then I'm keeping it.

It's totally impossible to watch a YouTube video while browsing. If you click on YouTube it takes me like 5+ random clicks on anything to hopefully open the YouTube app... and then I pray that it doesn't force close... and if it does open I have to pray it doesn't freeze midway.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techniq35:
I'm with MikeyMike01, but also include the cold ghosting. I posted a question if anyone else noticed it, but only received a single reply saying they didn't notice it. I find it hard to imagine only my unit has the issue though.

I've also had issues with it taking sometimes 20-30 seconds for the screen to turn on after hitting the unlock button on the back.

I initially really liked it, but am now considering getting an ipad2.

I'm contemplating whether the 15% restocking fee is worth it (I got mine at Amazon)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindiboy:
Get it from costco (wifi version) they have a 90 days return policy, anything better comes out during the 3 months am taking it back.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
My exact thoughts... sans restocking fee, since I got it at Costco.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p2flol:
This man speaks the truth.

I am glad that costco gave me a 3 year warranty... however I'm sure I'll upgrade within the first year lol.

Anyways, I love this tablet, I'm very happy I got it, and like he said costco gives you 3 MONTHS to decide if you like it or not! That's ridiculous! They accept returns no questions asked :). I've returned the xoom twice and I didn't get asked a single thing. (unlucky with dead pixels)

edit: and costco gives you a free gel case!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
At first I was going to buy the galaxy tab 10.1 (original version), but when I did see wifi only Xoom in stock at B&H I couldn't resist and ordered it. I just couldn't wait any longer.

After 3 days with it, I can say I'm happy with it.

Yesterday I started having hangs on the stock browser, I could scroll and zoom, but I couldn't click on any links. Only restart helped. So I removed the apps I installed yesterday and it seems the problem went away. So it seems the browser problems are somehow related to some apps that cause problems.

I haven't had any other problems.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firerock:
bought it at Costco as well. Actually I'm replying this message on it.

I don't have any major issue with it and I love it! Don't care much about the motor gel case though.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlewis11:
damn thanks guys. Real honest answers....I couldn't wait...well I could but I got really aggravated at the end of the day from general life BS...so I ran out and picked one up to make up for it....Plus youngotta see for yourself. Any ways right? I had a boat load of Best buy reward zone certificates so I picked one up there...I figure I will play with it for a week and return it if I dont like it... but I feel like if I have any issues it will be more with honeycomb than the Xoom...and hopefully Google and Motorola will address them in the future. So far I'm liking it....I'm on it now.....here's hoping for a good experience or decent experience
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Visual360:
my biggest complain so far is the screen. It just so washed out compare to my ipad. Heck, my Gtablet screen actually looks better (at the right angle of course). I love honeycomb though. It's a bit confusing at first, but now I don't think I can enjoy using a tablet with a different OS.

I got mine at costco also, so I'm not too worried about new tablets coming out. right now I'm very interested with the transformer. especially with its IPS screen. I just hope that it's built well like the xoom.
[Thunderbolt General] MONKY_1:
Hmmm unlock thunderbolt sim card?

-monky_1
[Thunderbolt General] stoli412:
Why do you want to unlock the SIM? To my knowledge no other carrier uses LTE on the 700 MHz band, so there's nowhere to use it except Verizon.
[Thunderbolt General] wirywizz:
Thunderbolt - unlock SIM dependency

Need to be able to unlock the SIM lock on the Thunderbolt to use with our lab based LTE network - any one figured this out yet? Contact us directly if you have a solution
[Thunderbolt General] oc3rulz:
the thing is it doesn't even lock you out of the phone or ask for a subsidy code. so it's hard to even know where to start. AT&T will also be using the 700Mhz band for LTE, but it's impossible to tell if it can pick up signal yet.

However the Thunderbolt requires 2 parts to work correctly. First you need to have the SIM CARD to register on the network to pick up the Data Signal. Once your phone registers on the Data network, then it will Authenticate on the CDMA Network for voice.

Since they are separated on the Thunderbolt, this leads to a much larger problem. You may be able to receive Data, but not Voice.
[Thunderbolt General] ProTekk:
Answer: No

Reason: See above.

Any remaning questions: see #1
[Thunderbolt General] cjmcmillion:
Hmmm unlock code for1. sim - not possible...

2.second - verizon is the top carrier

third- why use this device on another carrier...

[Defy Android Development] astearon:
The touchscreen on the Defy seems a little over sensible .. i can press keys without actually touching the screen (same goes for the touch panel buttons)

Can anyone help me find a way to calibrate it ? I get a lot of accidental button touches.
[Defy Android Development] no clue:
You might get flame posting on wrong section.

But, capacitive touch screen doesn't require calibrate.

Your body / Phone build up statics..

For your part, wash your hand often or touch anything grounded.

For your phone, you could try wipe it w/ wet towel.
[Defy Android Development] astearon:
Why get flamed ? i wanted a software fix not hardware, i keep both my hands and the phone clean all day. And i know it can be fixed because i had the same problem on a iphone android port... In iOS the touchscreen was fine but in android i could get it activated even 3mm off of screen so it's definetly the way the software uses the screen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hung0702:
Does anyone know what information the spinning circles provide? Are they only for decoration? I'm running Bionix 1.3.1 and it appears in place of the standard analog clock in widgets that call on it. From what I've been able to gather, the circles move in sync with the hands, but do they provide any non-stylistic function?

I'm assuming that no one knows or that it doesn't actually mean anything.
[HD2 General] brundleflyy:
Hi all,

I have searched and backed up my belief that a SIM card can't or shouldn't affect your reception on HD2 or any other phone. My problem is my wife and I both had HD2's and I could only get a signal in the middle of Downtown Houston, on a cloudless day at high noon, with the sun shining bright. My wife could get a full bars signal on hers in heaven or hell with rain, sleet, snow and clouds. This is while we are standing next to each other. I FUBAR'd my HD2, so I got her the Galaxy she wanted and took her HD2, now with my original SIM and her old HD2, I get the same crappy signal as my original. She gets the same great signal on her Galaxy and when I put my SIM in her Galaxy, and her SIM back in the HD2, same results, excellent signal for her and crap signal for me.

Once again, I know the SIM doesn't affect reception but for piece of mind can someone please give me some insite. I think I have been on XDA for a couple of years and always search and find the info I need, but now I am truly at a loss, thanks in advance for any responses.
[HD2 General] Skellyyy:
The SIM could be a problem if its getting very old. Might aswell get a new one and get your old number ported to it and try it out. :) Make sure you backup your contacts to Google though. :)
[HD2 General] brundleflyy:
I'll break down and try that out, thanks a lot! Think I just needed a second opinion.

Hi, I recently flashed leedroid v2.3d and the radio provided. Still, I am unable to connect to mobile internet (I disabled wifi, which works normally).

I am using the GSM version and my operator is Starhub, Singapore. I have no 3g problems when using other ROMs. Does anyone have any idea on why this is not working for me?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Could be the rom itself. Go ask the dev team or ask in the actual rom thread.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegishua:
Change the Radio. The radio you installed with that rom might be messing with your radio capabilities and you should try and find a reliable/stable radio release and flash that before installing your ROMs
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acerus:
I used the radio provided in the Leedroid post. Is there any other radio that I should use instead?

So just got my g2 today and rooted and running cm7 rc4.

I was just wondering if I can change the notification light color around the track pad or at least the change the blinking rate?

Thanks in advance and have a nice day
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
I don't think you can change the color..at least from what I've seen trying to use utilities that are supposed to..I could be wrong.

As far as the blink rate that I do not know
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LagunaCid:
I'm not sure about the rate, but I'm sure only white is available for color
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
Nope. Only one color there.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrant:
The trackpad light only does white, but you can change the blink rate using the LED me know app. Also the notification LED in the earpiece can be used for notifications using LED me know. That one does either green or red-orange.

I am using my HTC HD2 headphones with my Atrix and when I attempt to change the song thats playing it just brings up vlingo or voice command choices...how do I set it up to use the music buttons?

And I was also wondering if yall might know of bluetooth stereo headphones that also come with music buttons?

Thanks guys!
[Atrix 4G General] d_a_n_payne:
Anybody?

Or am I not seeing another thread that already has this answer? lol
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
There's a huge headphone thread here. They don't specifically talk about HD2 headphones (that I remember), but you could ask.

I'm curious, too, as I would like to use iPhone-style headphones with some volume control buttons etc.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrzorbatron:
I have been having a lot of trouble with my Epic's radio behavior since the EC05 radio update. It seems that the normal Samsung "radio stupidity" that I have seen in several of their devices is worse than ever now. The best radio for call performance I have used so far was DG27's (though not data). Essentially, what it is as far as I can determine by using utilities to monitor radio operation, is poor CDMA handoff configuration.

What it does is, for no good reason, switch from a cell site providing a good signal level, to one providing a bad signal level for no reason. Either this, or it holds onto a weakening set of towers while moving, until it goes out of their range and the call drops. The phone will then display the no service message for a few seconds, and then will pick up perfect signal from a different set of towers. I can even watch this happen by driving down a given road while on a call, with another phone in my cup holder. The Epic will start to break up and show very low signal levels, while the other is doing perfectly. Additionally, the direction you drive down this (2 lane) road also has an effect.

I have fixed this before on non smartphones by altering some of the CDMA radio values. T_Add, T_Drop, T_Comp, T_Tdrop. My solution is to increase the threshold on T_Comp a little bit, and drop the T_Tdrop also a little bit. The problem is that I cannot figure how to do this on this phone. Very little radio information seems to be available, and the utilities I have do not work completely on this model.

This issue with how they program their radios seems to be a common Samsung problem, to a much greater degree than with other manufacturers. Sanyo, Palm, and Motorola seem to do a much better job with this, even in cases where they use the same radio chipsets.

I am feeling like a lot of people will find this matter interesting and/or of benefit to resolve.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
The only problem I see and I'm sure someone will correct me is the RIL is closed source. Also android was designed around gsm and not cdma. This makes the manufacture and carrier to design a "wrapper" to get the RIL to work on cdma. Now if samsung would release the source.code I'm sure making changes wouldn't be so hard

On a side note I know there's a dialer code ( I forget what it is ) that you can go and play with some settings. One of them being able to switch to cdma instead of cdma/gsm that it is by default.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] running_the_dream:

My data does the same thing on ec05. I'll have perfect signal and then all of a sudden nothing for like a minute and then it comes back. Least im not the only one

Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrzorbatron:
It isn't the data driving me nuts. Data sessions pick up again quickly. It's the dropped calls. Either way, it is partially a symptom of the same problem. The phone is promoting weak towers, sometimes in favor of strong ones, to the active set - which it should not be.

No and yes. CDMA support was a hack in versions prior to 2.0. Android 2.0 (and later) has inbuilt features intended to support CDMA networks. Some of the companies are still using some legacy code, and some of nomenclature used within the system parameters still reflects GSM however.

This, however, is irrelevant in my belief. I do not think that these parameters are a function of RIL, as RIL is simply the intermediary between the "computer" and "telephone" components in a smartphone. I believe that these issues exist purely, or nearly so, within the "telephone" section of the device.

What is this ##147852#? I cannot find it in any information I have, and it has no effect on the phone itself.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] running_the_dream:
Not ###47852#. *#147852#. I don't know the name of the dialer. I call it the master meenu. It basically let's you access various front end user settings on the phone. I have used it to reset my 4g radio. Anyway, you may try the testing/phone information menu to change the cdma setting. I'm totally taking a shot in the dark on that, but it does seem to allow you to alter the radio preference.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrzorbatron:
Yes, totally misread that. Nothing seems to apply however, as I do not think it is a software parameter on the phone end. The WiMAX radio is software controlled, through a driver in the operating system. The combination of CDMA radio and baseband processor are more or less an independent device which essentially lives on its own, with its own configuration. It is told what to do through the RIL, which is a piece of software that allows the computer aspect of the phone to talk to the radio, passing it instructions which it then acts upon according to its own programming and configuration. The RIL also allows the radio to communicate its status to the rest of the system.

I am really thinking that this will not be a setting that can be modified from within the phone itself, but will require some external involvement, similar to QPST. On this chipset, however, QPST does not appear to be able to manage these parameters.

Thanks for posting this, I'm Paul627g, Adviser from AndroidCentral.com and this is my thread in which this was taken from. Please do us at AndroidCentral and favor and at least grab a membership over there to download the files. Both are prerooted stock EC05 with CWM 2.5.1.0 RFS/Odex . One is a full system wipe and the other is a no wipe that retains your data.

As I said please do us the same favor and grab a membership to download it as we do the same for our Epic 4g members and link them to XDA's thread making the user come here to get membership and not direct download links.

Credit to Vertig0 for actually looking ;)

BTW, trust me if I had a working copy of stock deodexed EC05 we would have that there with EXT4 but nobody has yet to come up with a deodexed version.

Besides having a few issues deodexing the ROM myself, I don't have the knowledge to make a dual FS kernel like we had from Dameon87 when he deodexed EB13 for us and provided a dual FS RFS/EXT4 stock kernel...

Hint: Hint:.. Anyone who can provide a working stock deodexed EC05 w/a dual FS EC05 stock kernel we can work something out and create some more custom Odin packages ;)

My name's k0nane and I support this message. :) AndroidCentral is ACS's new second home for user support and release announcement, and Paul627g here has been very helpful in supporting our users there (Impaler-like, you might say ;)).

There's just one problem - linking to competing forums and sites that require registration is against XDA rules and would get this double-locked if it were possible. I wish I could agree with Paul's wish that you link to AC - but I can agree with his notion that he and anyone else who contributed should be fully credited.

EDIT: I'm going to mirror this Odin package and pass a direct link on to Paul. I'll leave it up to him if OP here should get it too. ;) And Paul - I've had plans to post a stock deodexed ROM, and I'll look at doing that tonight. I've got everything I need to do it, I just haven't had much time.
