Ok then LOL whats the time frame that you can establish for us that we can start b*tchin? The xoom was advertised initially about being better than the ipad2 because of its SD card capability. YES, we knew that it did not work when buying it but c'mon now a month and not even a official statement, anything to say what is going on. Let me know if i am off the mark but without a working SD card there will be no roms cooked, very few themeing without the loom of no possible way to do a nandroid backup??? Seems kinda funny for a supposed "open source device",,,, they are not too open??
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
There's no set time obviously - some people are impatient and that's just the way it is. For those people, stop *****ing and return your XOOM. Either wait for the patch to come out and rebuy or buy an iPad2. The point is, you should buy a product based on how it is at the time you buy it and not count on anything being updated - I know it will be in due time but you shouldn't make any decisions based on the possibility of this happening in the future.
[Xoom General] 5659290:
SD card --- Where are You?

Apple must be killing itself laughing. Why bother releasing a device that does not have components working. As I recall people were anxious for the iPad2 to have an sd slot... well it didn't and sold out even without it. So now motorola releases an incomplete device. I still have time to return my Xoom and I am looking strongly in that direction.

Poor decision Motorola....:(
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
Look on the bright side, iPad 2 will never have SD, and the XOOM already has working SD.
[Xoom General] 5659290:
Mobilehavoc ...I agree somewhat with you comment on buying a product based on what it has at the time of purchase. You are missing the point .... Motorola would have been better off to release it without an sd slot .... then no *****ing.. you get what you paid for.

Lol... you reallt need more than 32 gigs? What other features are we missing anyways?I have a wifi Xoom so I could care less about 4g. However I doubt we are missing anything else... just be patient for an update... only other thing I see missing is Netflix, and I know the people at Netflix are working to get Netfli working on Tegra 2.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom General] sgtagem:
Agree, Love my Xoom. Its not an Ipad and that makes me love it even more
[Xoom General] sgtagem:
Funny part is, best buy stores were saying they were out of stock after selling thier 10 per day quota even though they had plenty. Apple now pulled all rights from bestbuy. So as far as best buy goes they were not even out of stock. At least the Xoom will have 4g and SD at some point. the ipad will NEVER. Id rather have a device that can be updated at some point than one that is locked down. Just my 2cents
[Xoom General] SnakeManJayd:
I'm also anxious for the update, although I got the wifi, so haven't been waiting as long. Need a bit more storage, but really want to get data onto it easier. Hoping to not have to root to use usb host for this function, so will take the micro SD and use a USB flash drive adapter to get stuff off of the PC easier, and then put the Micro SD in the Xoom. Don't want to have to try install the Xoom USB drivers on every PC I use.

But am loving my wifi Xoom all the same.
[Xoom General] MileHighClubAV8R:
Your "Big Update" is sitting in the Xoom Android Development section right now... :)

Got my SD working flawlessly. Just did a Titanium Backup to it.

Moto and Google rely on the consumer to iron out their issues for them... Nevertheless it got done.
[Xoom General] SnakeManJayd:
Thanks, but it is not quite the same.

I appreciate the work that the devs are doing, but I have only had my Xoom for 2 weeks and don't want to void the warranty by rooting, just to get the SD card working, will rather wait another month if I have to.

But thanks for the info.
[Xoom General] MileHighClubAV8R:
Another whole month? Seriously? :)
[Xoom General] criDikal:
Easiest way to transfer files to & from your Xoom is too use SwiFTP.

Naturally this depends on both devices being on the same or a internet facing network.
[Xoom General] gysgtusmc:
Does anyone know any time frame from moto on when the SD card may work?

Why not rooted? WifiXoom is really fast after overclock.
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
Wow really come on even if you root and unroot they wont know u did it in the first place so quit being picky about sd function and root the xoom and flash the kernel
[Xoom General] :
yeah honestly moto doesn't give two craps about people rooting if they did the xoom would have locked bootloader. lol :D
[Xoom General] nindoja:
This isn't necessarily true. There are a few measures they could take to keep a record that you did unlock your device without us really knowing they are tracking it. That said, it's not likely that they will care, but they could do it.

Sent from my Super-Xoom
[Xoom General] SnakeManJayd:
Ya, exactly, and I have other reasons for not wanting to root, which considering the flame war going on, I'm not going into depth about.

My point is that I want to leave my device unrooted and will wait for the update which was the point of this thread in the first place.

Cheers
[Xoom General] SnakeManJayd:
Ha ha, so after me setting my mind on not rooting, the company that I bought my Xoom through, who are providing the 6 month warranty, email me with a link to this forum saying that SD card functionality is available with a custom Kernel update, and that I can upgrade it myself or send it in and they will do it.

So I emailed back and asked if this means they will still cover the device for warranty if I root it and they said no. If I root, then no more warranty, but If I pay them to do it, then they will still provide a warranty, for exactly the same software that I would have put on...

Sort of ironic.

But after it all, I'm still waiting for the official update.

Don't want to pay to courier it to them and from them as well as paying for their services to fix it at the equivalent of $70 an hour for however many hours it takes to root and install the kernel.

But I do appreciate that they let me know and offered the service. I just think it is ironic.
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
That's hilarious that they're doing business on the back of XDA. That said, its a 2 - 5 minute process.

Not worth it, do it yourself and if you have a problem put it back to normal. Just don't tell us you're doing it because they must read this forum.
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
I'm more interested in those reasons because you being paranoid about them tracking doesn't seem to do enough justice
[Xoom General] MileHighClubAV8R:
So if they are charging money to install a kernel that all THESE guys at XDA developed (bigrushdog, et. all) are they going to contribute to their beer fund? Charging money to install a kernel just so you can keep your warranty is lame. You already PAID for a warranty on a device that is to get SD card support for free. Why does it matter where it comes from?
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Really? I figure the seller's reasoning is quite sound. If you attempt to do it, then eff it up (somehow, it's really quite hard to screw up these devices to the point where they can't be recovered), it can be argued you'd voided your warranty via the "Abuse" clause.

But if the seller roots it, then (1) they likely won't screw it up and (2) will presumably give you another one if they do. ("fastboot oem unlock" wipes the device clean anyway.)

Not everybody out there has a clue, and since this nation is sue-happy they're just covering their asses. I get it.
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
Lol, we are definitely sue happy.
[Xoom General] MileHighClubAV8R:
I could see voiding the warranty for you doing it yourself.... It's a seller capitalizing on this kernel (that they didn't write) after selling the device that's lame.... :)

Sorry for the rant
[Xoom General] Psychokitty:
Boy, this thread sure turned to ****. Some of you morons that won't stop bickering are just an embarrassment to the Android community.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Not really- there's plenty of cases where folks would pay a premium for turnkey support. After all, RedHat's a billion-dollar company off the backs of free software because they provide support to companies where Linux has to "just work".
[Xoom General] neonflx:
the real embarrassment to the android community is the fact that they released a half baked device, and no updates have addressed the issues. because google as well as moto are behind this, the features that were supposed to set this device apart from the other do not work or work poorly. so the real embarrassment is that hc was released prematurely

[Xoom General] Psychokitty:
I'm not talking about the complaints about the Xoom. But thanks for illustrating my point. I'm talking about the childish bickering that follows every complaint or even a simple comparison between the Xoom and another tablet, as if to do so its an act of blasphemy. Some of you act like psychotic, hypocritical religious zealots with all the wit and debating skill of an eight year old.

It's really pretty pathetic for a forum of this caliber. As of late, AT LEAST 1 out of every 3 threads has ended up filled with these little ***** fests, and it really is embarrassing.
[Xoom General] SnakeManJayd:
I'm not paranoid of people tracking me, it is just a fact that if I root it then I lose my warranty. The main 2 reasons I went through the company instead of others that were a bit cheaper was that they would ship it as soon as it released and they offered a 6 month warranty.

Another reason for me not to root is that I was using custom android roms on my windows mobile phone, and I know the issues that come with custom software. No disrespect to the devs, their work is awesome, but I just don't feel like being a tester for experimental kernels with hardware that cost me so much money.

Have a look at the kernel thread at how many things just go wrong on peoples device, or things that just don't work that used to.

And again it is no fault of the devs, there is no way for them to thoroughly test the stuff on hundreds of different devices before opening it up to people to use, so we essentially do most of the testing. They do say on all of the custom software threads that it is experimental, again, nothing wrong with that, in fact that is what the XDA forums are known for.

I just personally prefer not to have those issues with my hardware at this point in time if it can be helped.

This is probably what is taken Google-Moto so long to release the software, they probably have it working, but I'm guessing that they want to test it thoroughly before pushing it to every Xoom in the world, and possibly crashing them all. That would really suck for their PR.:D

Hope I haven't upset people, just answering the question honestly.
[Xoom General] SnakeManJayd:
I would tend to agree with you, but isn't the manner in which you have made these statements, precisely representative of the attitude at which you are showing this displeasure?

:confused:
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
Did someone put a gun to your head and told you to buy the xoom after all the reviews online?
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
If you unroot they wouldnt even be able to tell reguardlrss what any of you paranoid people are thinking.

And custom android roms aren't all that grest ln wkndows phones if you run into any issues there are plenty of people that would help
[Xoom General] SnakeManJayd:
Thanks. That may be the case, but I won't be dishonest to the people who sold it to me. If they ask if I rooted it at any point, I will have to say yes. That's just the way I do things.

But I do appreciate you trying to help.

Granted. But on the small chance of even some of the things not working on the Xoom because of a custom ROM or kernel, I much prefer to keep it stock at the moment.

Maybe I will change my mind after the warranty is up.

Thanks again for the advice
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
So..... update?
[Xoom General] Psychokitty:
Do you mean the part about being like a psychotic, hypocritical religious zealot with all the wit and debating skill of an eight year old or the part about the childish bickering that follows every complaint or even a simple comparison between the Xoom and another tablet, as if to do so its an act of blasphemy? :confused: -Because I'm not feeling much like the manner in which I've presented these statements is precisely representiveof either one.
[Xoom General] Psychokitty:
No update. No news about the update. If anyone knew anything about the update, the forum would be flooded with that info. This thread only serves as a place for Xoom owners who are disappointed by those facts to come and express their frustration and then get **** on by the dim-wits of the XDA Xoom owners community, much to the delight of any members of the equivalent iPad community who happen to be (s)trolling by.
[Xoom General] SnakeManJayd:
I was just meaning the general attitude of attacking people, but one could argue that, that is what i am doing now, so I will drop it.

Fair enough, getting back to the topic of the thread;

This is what I found on netbooknews.com.

"Speaking of an official fix, Into Mobile has heard directly from the manufacturer that this is coming in the next few weeks."

What exactly the next few weeks means is anyone's guess.

But it is a step closer.

Dear everyone,

I am new to XDA and I got language barrier (English is not my 1st language). Thus I know my problem is already solved somewhere in the forum, but I cannot understand and also do not have that knowledge to follow the instruction.

I just purchased the 2nd hand XDA Zest. I tried to upgrade it to WM6.5, but actually, now I really want to downgrade it to WM6.1. However, the .exe file provided by O2 does not work due to the problem of language incompatibility.

So now I really need to convert the .exe rom into the .abi , so that I can flash it from the memory card.

Could anyone give me the instruction of how to do it?

Many thanks for your help.

A couple things.

The defauilt is 128kb. This is fine.

When it was needed, the Evo was sporting a 4kb setting.

Read ahead doesn't really speed up your sd card.

It buffers. Kind of like watching a video streaming. If your speed is too low, you will get no video until the buffers get far enough ahead. Doesn't mean you see the video any faster if you increase the buffer size. If you lower your buffer size, video will suck and be choppy, but it will finish at the same time as the larger buffer.

So, to each their own. In the end, transfers end up at the finish line at the same time.
