[G Tablet Accessories] ecker2008:
Hmm.. thanks for the info.. I found the case at Fry's here: http://www.frys.com/product/6567843 although it looks like it's currently $19.99 - $10 = $9.99 after the mail in rebate and not free.. Am I missing something or did they raise the price since yesterday?

Thanks

I'm not sure why it says that on line but it said the same thing before I purchased mine. I had one of the employees check before I got in line.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Larbo:
I was wondering if the latest radio for the Vogue sticks while flashing kernels, Android ROMs, etc, or if you have to flash back to the latest 6.1 update that enabled EVDO Rev. A.

Does the radio survive through all of that? I'm guessing so, but would like an answer from the more experienced forum-goers.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
Vogue android roms do not include a radio, so whatever you have will stay.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minho422:
Are they the same radios accept that ea28 has fixed emergency calling feature?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobloblaw1:
Ea28 comes through an ota so it is an official radio. You will look less suspicious as a rooter if you are running this radio I'd imagine. I don't know what the actual differences are though and I don't think change logs are available. Hopefully someone can enlighten us.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landshark68:
I don't believe they are the same radio. EA28 radio is still the one that came with the EA28 Eclair build. EB01 radio (modem) is the one that came with the leaked EB01 build which gave us the superclean versions 2.0 and higher and a few of the other Froyo roms we are playing with. The EB01 modem also still has the emergency calling fix.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarfman4:
I believe people have had problems with the EB01 radio not ringing all calls and when that happens not showing missed calls. Seems like DL09 and EA28 radios have less of this issue than the EB01 radio. I'd recommend EA28 so VZ knows you have their latest.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
DL09 radio helped me with some GPS issues on an earlier SC build. But been using EB01 since then. In every day use their is nothing to do different with either radio. And its easy to switch back and forth to see which better using using tar files in Odin.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Cg006:
Ok so heres my dilema... I am in the search of a car charger that could allow me to use my navi, pandora and be able to charge it at the same time in my car while using the verizon car mount.

It seems motorola quick charger seems to be the one to beat from what many people say in the forums. But i am looking to see if there is a adapter which would allow me to plug my own usb cord? The reason for that is so i can plug it in under the arm rest to keep it hidden and run a 6 foot micro usb cable to the mount. is this possible? I did it with my ip4 with out issues....

I tried a Kensington charger that seemed perfect (http://amzn.to/g3mBYU ), but it looses connection with the car (adapter is TIIIIINY) and when it does work, none of the ports can keep my phone (with verizon HTC dock) charged up while using my navigation and pandora. I was actually loosing power.

In another thread i just read just because it says itsd a certain voltage does not mean it would work since micro usb is limited....

Does anyone have a charger you can recommended? Or will i have to but a micro usb charger itself with the cord attached to it.

Part of me says i should just get the moto quick charger, but i dont think the cable will be long enough to keep it hidden and i would have to keep it plugged in in the front part of the car. If i can get a long cable i dont need to keep plugging, unplugging and ju :)st dump the whole mount in the armwrest when i am finished

Any help on this will be appreciated. ive been doing alot of google searches but everyone has mixed opinions on this.

Find one that can output 1A.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Cg006:
I did... The one i put onbthe web link in my original post...but it was not outputting enough juice. :(
[Thunderbolt Accessories] WormDoes:
Go on Amazon and search Motorola micro usb car charger. The OEM Shop sells one for like $5. 00. I've been using it for months and it's a real Moto charger and works great.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Cg006:
thats the same motoi was talking about on my original post. i actually went ahead and ordered it from amazon. its supposed to push 950mah should receive it very soon
[Thunderbolt Accessories] -J450N:
I use the iGo charger with the HTC tip works really well and its a rapid charger. it should meet all your needs
[Thunderbolt Accessories] boingboingbilly:
The moto quick charger rocks. Not sure I understand why you cant run it from the plug to your dock? Coil cords are 6ft and will stretch out. Thats how I ran mine. I will probable post some pics later of my setup - works great.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lordxiagan:
So I've seen a lot of tossing back and forth on the issue. So having the task killer running less battery efficient than just closing out of some programs?
[HTC Inspire 4G] winsettr:
Many people will tell you "of course!" while other will say "how could you!?" This is a pretty long read, but it gives you many good reasons why you should not be using one. Personally I do not, but I'll occasionally kill poorly written apps that don't close and use the processor/battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
Android is doing a great job managing tasks on its own, no need for battery-draining apps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
The thing to do is do some extensive reading and decide for yourself. I have decided against it. Android does a good job of memory management. If you have a problem app, you can stop it with the device's own method.

Via the XDA app for the HTC Inspire
[HTC Inspire 4G] tjb433:
I personally do not use one, but I can say if I found an app to easily force close one app at a time I would probably use it. Maybe one with a favorites list or something. The stock method to force close a troublesome app is rather annoying IMO because it takes forever to find the right one in the huge list of apps, and I have some apps, Pandora is the most common, that occasionally will freeze when going out of range of WiFi while trying to connect, or when the app is in the recently used list for a long time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
I use "Where's my droid power" (without quotes, of course). In this, it's rather easy to find any app you've run.

Hit the app you want, and hit details. That opens the screen to force close, clear cache, etc.

Via the XDA app for the HTC Inspire
[HTC Inspire 4G] tjb433:
Thanks for this, I just got it and will try it out, it has a pretty simple UI which I like, and the percentages seem to make sense although I kinda wonder how it figures them out lol, still would prefer a favorites list. But it definitely does make it easier to find the app u want to force close.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
No problem. Yeah, I'm not sure how it figures the percentages either, but it does seem roughly accurate.

Via the XDA app for the HTC Inspire
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Not. No task killer will ever manage android memory as good/efficiently as the Linux kernel. If you want to make the kernel more aggressive at killing off processes and apps, you can very easily put an echo script in Init.d to change the minfree values. Some kernels(like mine) already do this. I have set so it will pretty much never drop to below 90-100 mb of free ram. Sense seems to run pretty good like this, and never bog down
[HTC Inspire 4G] Hookani:
Is there anyway to easily force close an app other than going thru a bunch of menus? I don't know of any other way to completely wipe the cache and history from the browser other than to force close it. Without force closing you can still use the back arrow to see where you have been. If i'm done browsing then the next time I browse I like to open the app with a brand new session and have it go to the home screen.

Thanks,

Ho'okani
[HTC Inspire 4G] hgoldner:
There are two options I can think of off the top of my head. One is to use a different browser that will let you clear the cache on exit. I believe both Mirren and Firefox do this. Dolphin might also.

The second way is to use something like Process Monitor Widget which brings all running processes as close as two taps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] olagaton:
re:

Active Apps is a pretty nice Task Killer program. It similar to the Samsung line, in that it only allows you to close apps that you specifically open. This prevents you from closing the apps that will automatically (behind your back) re-open, and therefore use more battery life. It has 4 screens - 1 for task killing, 1 for quick uninstalls, 1 for RAM clearing, and 1 for storage capacity. Ad-filled version is Free from market, non-Ad version is like $2, but well worth it.

Set up a widget to monitor how many apps are running straight from your home page.
[HTC Inspire 4G] myphoneisbroken:
I've used a task killer for a long time, and I always thought it was great. I always noticed that my phone always ran more quickly than anyone elses comparable device. My battery however suffered. It seemed that where the task killer kept my phone flying through processes, when it was running it took the battery down. Now that I'm rooted and running gingerbread with sense3.0 I don't use it and my phone not only fly's but the battery is decent (as it can be).

When I open the browser, a Google search page is displayed instead of the specified home page (about:blank). How can I keep the browser from going to Google search?

I'm using the standard browser with Serendipity 6.3.

I get the same results when I use Firefox Mobile 4.0 browser.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sailzfast:
From Google home page, go to menu/more/settings/set homepage. Put your desired hompage url in there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ua549:
That's exactly what I did without success. As I posted, the homepage is set to about:blank.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sailzfast:
Hmmm...maybe try reset to default and try again?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ua549:
No change. I even rebooted. The home screen setting shows about:blank but the browser still goes to Google.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sailzfast:
I'm on Serendipity 6.3 too. Just changed my homepage url successfully...but had to close the browser in task manager for the new url to "take." You may have some other issue.

[Xoom General] Ignotus:
Stop complaining about buying an incomplete device in other sections and post them here. Getting tired of unhelpful info being thrown around on XDA.

Edit

I love my xoom and would never return it, just getting tired of stupid post and tools with no experience lol.

[Xoom General] KerryG:
I am still on the fence. Just got mine a couple of days ago. I have had a handful of problems with apps FC'ing. What I think is really dumb is the case that Staples sells puts the power plug on the bottom so you cant use the Xoom propped up and have it plugged in at the same time.

I am also not convinced yet that I am a good candidate for a tablet. I create a lot of content but don't consume a lot of content. I still have to grab my laptop to do photo editing, faster text editing, video chatting (other than the GTalk app). I don't think a lot of my issues are specific to the Xoom or more Android 3.0 compatibility issues.

I think the vast majority of problems will be sorted out soon but I am not sure I need to pay full price to be an early adopter yet.
[Xoom General] Ignotus:
you can change the landscape mode but that turning it around so the charger is on top then lock the screen.

Ok... here's my rant ....

Why the hell is carphone warehouse making me wait until April 19th to get my damn XOOM.

[Xoom General] Ignotus:
haha i made the thread so i diddn't have to listen to people ***** about there xoom. I'm pretty happy that the real people are *****in bout not getting it sooner :) keep it up xoomers !
[Xoom General] KerryG:
Yes, but then the holes for the camera arent in the right place, plus the case is just weak, doesnt hold well and the Xoom slides down and turns the volume down. The case is just a bad design.

[Xoom General] mau006:
I'm about to return my xoom, primarily because the touchscreen stopped responding. Which is a gigantic problem on a buttonless device!!!!!!!!!

I think I am going to go for my money back, and possibly buy the 16gb version when it comes out to save a few bucks.

I am tempted to get an iPad2, which makes me feel like an asshole but all the good apps are on there now. However I am learning java and will hopefully have time to write some apps soon, thereby making an empty app store more of a positive than negative.

Before anyone flames me for thinking of getting an ipad, its just cause I feel like its the one form factor device where I might not care as much if its locked down (of course I will jailbreak it on day one if I get it, and will be dual-booting android on it sometime after the ASOP comes out, google...)

If all I want to do with this device is read/watch/consume content, and ipad has all the content right now, it kinda makes sense. And I am confident the ipad2 could be an awesome honeycomb device. With the amount of sales it has had there should be enough interest in that as a project. Enough to give the google all the more reason to hold off on releasing the source code. Dammit..
[Xoom General] Ignotus:
Nobody will flame you. Its personal preference. Some ppl like changing devices to fit there pref and some choose to use their device as just consuming data. Don't worry. This device will eventually run stable. We just have to wait.
[Xoom General] 3devious:
Do you know me? What should you care if I flame you? The only time I would care if you buy an I pad would be if you bought it with MY money.
[Xoom General] laxwillsch:
I don't know if I got a better xoom than most if the people here but I am freaking loving this thing. The screen is beautiful, the white's are actually white, something I have not seen on anything except the Apple devices. I get no lag whatsoever on my home screens after oc'ing to 1.5 governor set at interactive, and the stereo speakers are really nice. I absolutely love this thing. I got a sweet car dock from a dealer in the UK so I can use it as a bad ass head unit in my car, and when its hooked up to my system with great speakers and 2 12's in the trunk it sounds as good or better than my gf's iPhone 5, something I have never found with any other android device, even my inspire with srs sound. Yes, it has some bugs but for what I need it to do it does it wonderful. I am using it as a complete laptop replacement. I am actually thinking of selling my macbook pro. And I think we are not gonna get many people posting here about their gripes with the device because...

1. They want to start their own post for attention/tolling

2. They don't use the search button

3. There is far to much effort for them to actually read through a forum for the appropriate place to post
[Xoom General] Ignotus:
LMAO, i hate me some trolls, im made this post hoping it would attract them all but i guess i was wrong lol. stupid people. guess they never used a forum before.
[Xoom General] Earthbrain:
I regret buying the Xoom because I should have waited for a tablet that is thinner, lighter, better screen, working micro sd slot, working 4G and has a pen input, a nornal micro usb that is rechargeable, and most importantly can play high profile .mkv 1080p without needing to do any conversion.

How come no company can do it right?

My biggest question is:

How come no European country make any tablets?

If Germany and Italy can create Mercedes, BMW, Farrari and Lamborghini, they can certainly make a measly sub $1,000 tech device.
[Xoom General] supremecream06:
keep on waiting. wait on, while we enjoy out Xoom. the best thing invented since the internet. Xoom, Xoom, Xoom...:)
[Xoom General] tangiers:
May I offer these words of encouragement to anyone who has bought a Xoom but who hasn't been involved with Android and modded ROMS before?

The out of the box is not overly impressive when compared, as it inevitaly will be, with the iPad. It is disconcerting to have Forced Closes on a device costing what it does as regularly as one does. And there is not much eye-candy included either.

However, the hardware specs are so good that I have little doubt that the Xoom will be the equivalent of the HTC HD2 (which if you don't know started as a Windows Mobile 6 phone, got Froyo and then Gingerbread and now dual boots into Android or Windows Phone 7!) once the developers get their hands on the source code.

Hang onto your Xoom and you will see in the weeks to come that it will get better and better and, instead of having a gadget which is all shiny and cool for the first week and then becomes old news, you will have a gadget that keeps improving as each new ROM is released.
[Xoom General] gogol:
Disagree ...

Hardware specs are not that superb (so good). Well, it is good, but not so good.

- Tegra 2 is just so so for video playback

- Xoom screen is "meh" (compared to iPad or Asus Transformer with IPS, future Samsung will have similar or better than IPS)

- Some people don't like the placement of the power button

- Xoom is quite heavy at 730 g (others are less than that)

Don't get me wrong, Xoom is still nice. But the competitors have delivered some better options, with attractive price (less expensive).
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
Lol that's because most of the people that are *****in about thefunctions or everything else are still dumb enough to make new threads in the wrong section

LMAO, so get this, all Yal complaining bout the xoom, you didn't have to buy that ****. Take. Your complaints to some other lil kiddy forum that probably won't even know wat a kernel or aosp are. Then buy a fckin I pad or another device that you can be happy with. Stop making threads and dumb ass remarks about what the xoom should be, no one cares cuz us guys that have them and love them are actually working our asses off to make it better.

[Xoom General] shmigao:
German businesses can't handle fast development cycle businesses such as cell phones, PCs, even TVs. That's why there is no more Siemens cell phones, Nixdorf PCs or Grundig TVs. All had superior quality but too slow development cycles and that's how they died.

Italian companies are great at expensive almost handmade technology products (Ferrari, Ducati, all the fashion stuff) but don't get consistent quality on large scale

:)
[Xoom General] jerses:
I have to complain. I have been owner of 5 android phones including the huawei s7 tablet and i gotta say i kind of dislike whats going on with the motorola xoom. i started using android since G1 and back then everyone was talking trash about the market place that it only have like 500 apps a year after release (including crappy wallpapers) by the time the market was filled with good apps the phone wasnt up to the power needed to run them (or the android version). So my concern is that when good apps come to my new xoom we will have like tri core procesor or something. My other complain is that xoom doesnt stretch apps, my huawei s7 did stretch them to full screen. The screen outside its not readeable, when that happens to my x10i i just use all the brightness and done. In the xoom the brightness level is to low. I know people will mod the xoom to do things but custom mods are only usefull when our phone or tablet its not updated with the latest firmware or you want other interface or widgets...but when the problem reside from third party apps...thats a different problem. I love my xoom but i wish it was 2012 to see the full potencial :S sorry about my english.
[Xoom General] Dubar:
If you have spare parts downloaded, try unchecking the setting for compatibility mode, might help stretch out some of those apps if that's what you're into
[Xoom General] :
the only thing that i will say to this is that you have all the resources to develop apps for the xoom. i have the droid incredible and it is an old phone but it has kept up with the best of them and i have a lot of great apps. the xoom will be the same way. the xoom will last if people still dev for it. if people just sit back and wait nothing will happen. So take the initiative to keep this great device going. don't wait for people to dev for it and don't wait until we get better hardware. just dev.
[Xoom General] KING SKILLZ:
Really like the looks and feel of the wifi xoom i bought last week. I must say that i usually dont mind being an early adopter towards electronics, but in the tablet world these things are set to pop up like weeds, and @ $650, and getting clobbered in sales against the ipad2 i'm wondering if the price might drop considerably in the near future. At $650 i was expecting maybe a bigger selection of apps. I bought it from Costco which has a 90 day return policy with no restocking fee. hopfully a wifi unroot will be available by then so i can retun it and maybe get it cheaper.
