Hi all,

Just got my new Xoom wifi yesterday & was a bit unsure after playing with it for a few hours. This was mainly due to the Youtube problem. Now I have resolved this & have flash installed it seems like a pretty good device.

I've just come from an ipad 1 which I thought was pretty good apart from the lack of flash & web page loading times. With the Xoom it seems pretty quick in general but scrolling sometimes seems a little slow to react. I hope future Honeycomb upgrades may address this though.

What are everyone else's opinions into Google's first foray into the tablet market? Anyone else have any issues?
[Xoom General] poisike:
I don't have any complaints other then browser force closing sometimes, but for some reason I haven't had any FC's for the last few days. I'm sure this problem will be fixed with update.

If you have scrolling problems on xda forum, then switch to XDA Classic theme (you can find the select box on bottom left corner).
[Xoom General] clemo71:
Thanks poisike, the scrolling on xda is much more responsive now. :)
[Xoom General] appelflap:
As for the scrolling issue I suggest you look at some alternative browsers in the market. I like Opera (although it doesn't support flash on the Xoom yet).

Wifi Xoom

Hi,

I got a Xoom for use at my workplace. It really is something else. Using the stock web browser is fine, it stalls orskips now and then depending on how many tabs are open and the amount of content on those pages. Its about the same as running IE on my desktop. IMO flash is over rated. Try another broswer, there are at least a dozen different browsers for Android now .Most of our other issues are software related as not many apps are designed for tablets or such a large screen. Ive really tried pushing this and it handles multi tasking very well. Only once it did reboot on its own.

I got Pandora working, I found a backup pn my Droid Incredibe, v1.2 and it works just fine. For work we really needed a keyboard with numbers on the top row, Tablet Keyboard Free is working for that.

What I hate about this is placement and use of the thre physical buttons. The two volume buttons are hard to press. Its better to hit one, then when to level shows on the screen, use the touch screen to grab the slider. The power/unlock button is on the back. So if its anywhere, I cant just start using it where it is, I have to pick it up first to press the unlock button.

Heavy web browsing and music streaming, I have to say Im impressed with the eight hours of battery life. Moto released new PC drivers that now support charging via USB from a Windows computer.

[Xoom General] clemo71:
Any suggestions for a good browser apart from Opera. I tried Dolphin & Skyfire but couldn't get on with either of those.
[Xoom General] KerryG:
Got a link to those drivers? That would be a big benefit for me.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
These kinds of posts always confuse me. :confused: What are our thoughts on the Xoom? There are pages and pages of posts on this forum.. it's what the forum is for :D
[Xoom General] tumbes20000:
So far so good

I bought the xoom as a laptop replacement. Pretty risky, but once i tried it at best buy i thought the whole idead of a tablet as capable or possibly capable as the Xoom as too good to pass up. i spent a fair bit of time with the ipad 1 (not the 2), but tto me it felt like i was 12 years old again and having to chose between my first PC or an apple IIg. i could have a thing that works really well the apple IIg or I can get this DOS based machine that I can later upgrade and overall mess with (like installing the revolutionary soundblaster card, yes there were days before 8-bit and 16 bit sound). Of course I went with the PC. Though there were times when i was frustrated because i forgot to salve a drive and I have to take it back out to switch the pins, i have enjoyed the flexiblity of a PC. I felt the same way when I was using the Xoom. I can see the potential, but know that there will be times it will be frustrating.

So what am I saying - if you like tinkering and really researching your device then get a xoom. If you hate that get an iPad.
[Xoom General] laredo7mm:
With new drivers they are able to turn a 5 volt source into a 12 volt source? Interesting.
[Xoom General] KerryG:
They have new drivers for charging PHONES but it doesn't say anything about charging the Xoom, doesn't even do a trickle charge.
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
Get adfree... not a single browser issue since installing it. I blame flash ads...
[Xoom General] MikeyMike01:
A solid software update to address the browser/launcher lag, add SD Card suport, and add USB Drive support, and we'd be good to go. After that you just need the inevitable wave of Honeycomb apps.

[Xoom General] supremecream06:
why isn't everyone using the flash on demand only. it safe you all the problems and no lag nor battery drain. my xoom still goes the same amount of time it was before the flash update. cuz i had it on demand. so if i wanna watch a video i can click on it. that's by far is a good option. the best thing is to have the option to have flash if i wanted it. something steve jobs won't give his fans. flash is not the problem, if you use it correctly it will be a dream.
[Xoom General] MikeyMike01:
Flash isn't causing the browser lag.

At least not all of it.

it does it would not change the instruction for arm 7 in the arm of 6?
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
I just want to say...

When adobe first anounced that they will make an android version, they were aming for arm6 and arm7. Somewhere on adobe site I read that arm6 project was abadon because arm6 version had problems... something like this.

Anyway , it was stupit to close the develop site of arm6 and also they didnt give the code in order other developers to develop it farther, as they are BORED to do it.
[XPERIA X8 General] speedi57:
or you one could find these sources?
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
"Adobe said t will optimize Flash for use on ARM architecture (ARMv6 and ARMv7 architectures used in the ARM11 family and the Cortex-A series of processors) and release it in the second half of 2009"

"technology optimization is targeted for the ARMv6 and ARMv7architectures"

[XPERIA X8 General] treebill:
They did not get bored they hit problems so left it for now I.read some where that they will pick it up at a later date
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
... there were problems, but you cant say they wasnt able to get over them... Ok first of all it is free so we cant blame adobe for not developing flash for arm v6.

May be that I am going to say is stupit...., I think there are alternative flash for linux, what about them?
[XPERIA X8 General] nibras_reeza:
Hmm, I doubt they will work on it anymore because almost all the newer devices use ARMv7/cortex-A8 or newer processors. ARMv6 was the older generation. It's getting outdated.

However, qemu can emulate ARMv7 on ARMv6. So, am guessing porting is indeed possible if you try an emulation layer instead of porting the entire source. Another alternative would be to make a working package of GNASH(open source flash). It's buggier than Adobe Flash but can do more than Flash Lite and something is better than nothing.
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
I totaly agree! :)

I used GNASH on my ps3 yellow dog linux, very buggie but promising.
[XPERIA X8 General] nibras_reeza:
You know the worst part? GNASH has ARM support but no body cared to put together an apk and/or browser plugin still. :(
[XPERIA X8 General] feliks200:
i think

I think the our proccesor ,,ARM v6 " will not support the flash player, but we waiting for hackers maybe they will some think make but now its not.

NOW I WAITING FOR MULTI TOUCH.
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
... Too bad. GNASH is good but everybody build their flash objects with adobe rules...

Did you read any thing above?...

I dont think x8 will get ever multytouch.

Doultouch yes, multytouch no.
[XPERIA X8 General] nibras_reeza:
Did you check the Ubuntu 10.10 at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=962023?

It has Firefox with GNASH. I still couldn't get the mountscript to work. It just proceeds to unmount after mount and chroot. :/

But, oh well, here's Flash on ARMv6. :P
[XPERIA X8 General] brunoshady:
any news about this?
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
...news ... i dont think there will be any news...

Even if GNASH run on ARMv6 where will be many thinks to be done.

When i installed GNASH on my ps3 with handred of devs working about it, i wasnt even able to watch youtube video.

Where are other things more important for our devs... keep the good work guys.

[Nexus One General] itay1:
Ever since the Gingerbread update (I've manually updated to 2.3.3 stock by using the full image, wiped everything before), I occasionally lose network access completely. Not just data, but also calls.

My Wifi is enabled and that seems to remain connected, but my mobile network seems to just die.

I'm on Vodafone UK, London Area.

Interestingly, sometimes the bar lights are still showing as good reception, but i can't make calls and people can't call me.

Furthermore, when i search for networks it normally returns an Error. giving little information (something along the lines of: error while searching for networks)

Cycling airplane mode does not help. Sometimes power-cycling the phone doesn't help.

What does help, is when i click on "Use only 2G networks" - that seems to connect fine and i can make calls again. then, i can *sometimes* successfully go back to 3g but un-ticking the use only 2g networks.

I'm using stock 2.3.3

Baseband version:

32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04

I tired updating the radio at one point to 5.12 but that seemed to have been so bad that i couldn't connect at all.

I think, that if my Wifi was turned off and I would use the network data connection, my "voice connection" (i.e. calls) would work fine - that is because i never see this problem when i'm outside using network data.

Is someone else seeing this?
[Nexus One General] tsuranoth:
Yeah, me too. I'm on T-Mobile in the US. It happens about once a week.
[Nexus One General] iron@ss:
I use this workaround after many hours of investigation into the problem on various forums and with Vodafone...

1. O the keypad, type *#*#4636#*#*

2. From the menu select "Phone information"

3. Go down the list to "Select preferred network type" which, by default on Vodafone, is set to "WCDMA preferred".

4. Click on the drop down menu and select "GSM auto (PRL).

5. Exit all and reboot.

This not only improved my signal but also my battery life as well as I was not constantly seeking WCDMA. Don't worry, if you need data and are within a 3.5G area, it will use WCDMA.

Give it a try, you have nothing to lose and can always switch back.

Hope this helps.:D
[Nexus One General] itay1:
Will give that a try.

I think at one point i had it set to that...

Will update if it solved my problem.
[Nexus One General] iron@ss:
To be honest with you itay1, I had a few problems last year with the Vodafone firmware.

Not the least of which was the inability to send MMS's when connected to WiFi. and being given the run-around by Vodafone, who at one stage or another, blamed everything and everybody.

In the end I rooted my phone and switched to Cyangen Mod's and since then have had no problems. Besides which, IMHO, the CM7 stable version, released today, is far superior to the stock Gingerbread I tried from Google.
[Nexus One General] itay1:
Thanks for the tips.

So i gave 5.12 Radio another try + your change for GSM auto (PRL) and so far it seems better.

I haven't lost network connectivity yet - however.. i'm starting to think it really might be up to Vodafone. Maybe they have network failures that they are not reporting.

Definitely going to switch at the end of contract. I hear GiffGaff have pretty awesome deals!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanity213:
The problem that needs to be overcome with the current 1.4 kernels is that we're already at the top of the voltage specifications for the CPU (per manufacturers dox anyway) to keep the phone stable at 1.4. All chips are a little different - some phones might be stable with less voltage at this freq or others might be able to handle a little more juice. But, we're already at a 40% overclock...
