Hi everybody,

Ive noticed that many functions in tools apps Mike Sgs tools, "boite a outils" ( a very good french app ), spare parts, and many more i don't know , didn't worldmate on GB.

I'd like to know if there's any app specially compiles to fit with GB

Thx

And thx to all xda dev for their great work, even if my registration is new, i've been following u in thé past years when i had an iphone.

I am far from a newb..just gotta quick question

I am def not rooting my Xoom cause I dont feel it needs it at all.

I have the wifi only and this is what i've got..

Android Version: 3.0.1

Kernel version: 2.6.36.3-g2a4197e-

android-build@apa28 #1

Build number:

HWI69

Is this the correct build number for my Wi-Fi only Xoom? or did I miss an update?

That is all. Thanks in advance.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulG1488:
you should root anyway

but in reguards to your post yes that is the current build for the wifi xoom
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dezufnoC:
Why root the XOOM? Coming from the gTablet where I could throw a new ROM on daily I could see why that should be rooted but until a new ROM comes out and more importantly until Motorola (or Google according to some) can give me an update that will allow me to use my sd card I see now reason to root this device.

If I am missing something please enlighten me.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubie76:
I agree. No need to root really. I am happy with the xoom as is. I have no desire to load a custom rom. I think only the 3G version has been updated since release. Our Wifi only version has not......yet.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
Wifi version had the latest version out of the box, so there is nothing to update yet.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aronslusa:
I was kind of wondering the same thing right after rooting.... Why did I?

On a 3g/4g model it would have made sense, but with the wifi only version I'm not gaining much other than titanium backup.

Kind of kicked ma'self in da but there.

But coming from the Archos 70 (gfs, tablet now), and the Galaxy Tab on Sprints network, I'm happily impressed and satisfied for now.

Just need to wait to see if Sprints data packages stay the same if/when they get the newer Galaxy tabs.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elvis_Freshly:
We are on the latest version of Android so i see no since in rooting it at all. None. Like phones, yes. But not a tablet that is up to date. Makes zero sense. There is no bloat ware, nothing it needs. Its fast as sh!t and no lag. People expect too much from everything and then when the device dies or bricks they blame the OEM. LOL

I believe in no phone left behind.. that's why i rooted my Mytouch 4G. But not a tablet that has THE ONLY VERSION OF HONEYCOMB in the world.. think about it. It doesn't need a custom ROM because the UI rocks. No bloat and its fast. What else could you want? Nothing.

I think most of it comes from two things.. boredom and curiosity.

But more power to ya.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bossjeeves:
I have all the same but a diffent kernel cause i am rooted, ( wifi-only from launch day )
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ianas:
There are strong reasons to root, but they don't apply to everyone. I have been a crazy from addict with my phones (especially back in the glory days of WinMo and energyROM I was flashing daily) but here I am with a Xoom and I haven't rooted it yet. Why? Because it's great how it is. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Now, when the honeycomb source comes out I'm gonna be unlocking the boot loader like Houdini but for now I'm quite pleased with the xoom and honeycomb and just enjoying her in her virgin form... for now... mwa ha ha.

I would definitely love to add CIFs support. Overclock? Maybe, I'll wait to see how the browser get cleaned up in updates first.

I haven't rooted yet because I don't want to flash a different kernel on the device just to root (yet).

I agree with Ianas that there isn't much of a reason until the source code is released and people start developing on it.

overclocking is bitter/sweet helpful/hurtful. You can enjoy the extra fast speed at a cost to your battery, that's your bitter/sweet. You can load and play games faster, surf faster do everything faster at a cost to the longevity of your processor, there gos your helpful/hurtful. Enjoy:-)

Xoom-HINES_57

UPDATE: 5/2/2011

I downloaded HWI69 at the Verizon MOTO site and it is all back to normal now.

Thanks,

DW

--------------------------------------

Ok, I am probably the dumbest person on here. I did not know the difference between the MZ600 and the MZ604, until a few miutes ago. Because I have done some stupid things, I have soft-bricked my WiFi-Only Xoom several times.

I am presently running the following:

Android 3.0 (not 3.0.1) with Kernel 2.6.36.4Tiamat_Xoom-v1.4.0-gb0d8751 bigrushdog@TRON#1

Build number: HRI39 (not HWI69).

Can anyone please tell me HOW to get this Wifi-Only MZ604 back to original?

I don't care if it's rooted or not. I am able to use my SD Card and run rooted software and overclock to 1504Mhz, but I really don't care about all that. I would just like to be back to normal because I presently have a "Xoom-Hines57" and I think the tablet is really CONFUSED.

NOTE: I tried the directions at Motorola to get back to HWI69 but I only get < "Waiting for device" > and nothing ever happens. It just sits there forever.

I really didn't mean to write a book, but I wanted to list all that I am aware of.

Now I am told that Update HMJ07B will be out today but I don't know if it is for the Wifi-Only or not.

I started out with a Viewsonic G-Tab and screwed it up about a dozen times, but I got REALLY EDUCATED with it and when I got it running really good I gave it to my wife.

Thanks! DW

Hi everyone !! I just bought my midnight blue arc yesterday morning and am loving it!

All those people who have problems with the battery please get your phones checked coz i feel the battery life on this phone is pretty pretty decent.

Anyway I'm facng a problem that the phone rebooted thrice yesterday while I was on a call!! Is anyone else facing this problem ? Any remedies ??

Thanks :)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hung77:
I also have this problem for the 4th time since wednesday last week.

And it is completely random. Phone never gets hot when this happen. One time it happend when it was idle.

I have contacted SE about this issue and they do not know about this problem.

So i am gonna exchange mine for a new one tomorrow.

Oh yeah, and i also cannot pair with my nokia 3100 carkit. I think this is software related problem. My desire had this problem also with some gingerbread roms, other gingerbread roms were fine. So i hope SE will update to 2.3.3 soon.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
Mine rebooted only once on 3 days while in idle.

Not a big deal, I think it's because of 2.3.2

Wait for an official upgrade to 2.3.3 or custom roms
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Regii:
So far it never rebooted in idle, but what I recognized is that the phone rebooted several times when connected to the PC or when syncing Music with MediaGo...

Don't know why it occurs, but it happens regularly when I'm connected to the PC and is quite annoying tbh, especially when trying to transfer something like an ISO...

Actually, when trying to transfer Gran Turismo 2 it ALWAYS reboots :D

Anybody have any problems with the phone restarting when subjected to a shock, i drive a kind of a forlift at work where i have a kind of a shelf connected to a screen that i rest the arc on to get the music directed at me while i work, and often when i drive over small bumps and the phone jums it will restart, i can also provoce this by hitting the phone against my hand. Btw the shelf is made of cardboard so the shocks arent very violent, i have used it for several months with my ipod touch and never experienced this problem
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaatisu84:
Yeah, I get the same with shocks, really small ones and sometimes none at all, strange...seems like a hardware problem?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gl2k1:
I have exactly same problem, I feel it caused by the micro sd card mount.

In my case, I have tested it will not happen when without card.

Now I put a thin plastic tape put on top of my micro sd card, temporary improved :(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trishul:
very very strange

after i read these replies about minor shocks or bumps causing ARC to reboot, i just picked mine up and patted it on the back slightly and it REBOOTED !!! :(

i think this is a major design flaw which causes the battery to jump out of the compartment or something like that.

You all can try it .. hold the phone from the sides and pat it with two or three fingers slightly on the back and VOLA !!

SE managed to make a great phone i feel finally but they HAD to screw up somewhere.

I did get a reboot in a call once, but not since upgrading to latest firmware. (.184)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feyris:
I never had any reboot in the first 10 days, but 2 reboot yesterday.

Maybe it's related to contacts of battery or µsd because 1 hour before the 1st reboot, I opened the device for the fist time to read the SDCard in a card reader.

I have Arc, very good phone, but: the screen will be black sometimes (2-3 days once) and if the main menu button I press, it only keyled lighting.

If I restart it once daily, problems do not come.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinmanu:
well i am new in here...

been using THE ARC for a few months now and its the sexiest thing ever. But seems like quite a few people have the reboot problem.

1. I dont believe the bump and the tap theory coz mine will restart wen i drop it on the bed but then will be perfectly fine if i accidently drop it on the stairs !

2. Maybe it is the SD card issue , but i dont want to format my sd card and loose all the applications n data. I have already reset my phone ?(phone memory) only and it didnt solve the issues.

3. I have heard people say that this maybe due to task killers . Well i have nothing more than LOOKOUT anti virus security running in the background , so it cant be it.

4. Has there been an official software update for ARC. From what i see on PC companion , it says that is up to date and even SE guys at FB say that 2.3.3 is in the pipeline.

I have been using ARC for over a month now and its not the first SE set to be ossum. I started with K700i , then W550i (the WALKMAN) , THen K790i , then W910i , and now THE ARC and i have never been let down. BUt for a flagship product like ARC , it should be perfect.

Now everyone here is giving complaints, what i want to know is that does anyone really have any idea about any cause or solution.

Thanks Everyone.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finalfour:
Arc restarts only if wi fi is on. If wifi is off, phone never restarts. I tested this problem about one week, and i have found only one reason - there are problem with the wifi. Now i am turning on my wifi only when i needs, and turning off again. And no restarts. But if i leave wifi on, phone is going to restart after some time. Problem is with wifi, i'm sure.

as for me, phone restarts only if wifi is on and phone is locked. Or, if i use green power, with wifi management option on. If i use wifi on/off manually, the phone is never restarting.

I know, if you only turning on wifi, may be reboot will not apppear. But if you let green power or juice defender manage you wifi automaticly, phone is going to restart. 2-3 times per day.

It is not depends on program (juice defender or green power), its depends on wifi managment. Is you let for any program manage your wifi to save battery drain - reboot will appear. Why why, i can't understand, why it happends, but it is.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaatisu84:
I have the same problem, but I noticed it more whenever the phone took a little bump on the back. Just taking it out of my pocket, or putting down on the table caused it to reboot.

I seemed to have solved the problem by putting some tissue paper between the battery and back panel. I have seen this solution on other forums, but I was sceptical at first. But as soon as a tried, it worked instantly!

I can tap, bump, drop my phone as much as I like, and it does not reboot anymore. Seems like a design flaw in the arc. Might invest in some nice foam to solve the problem more permamently.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinmanu:
Another insight to the problem that some of mah applications dont show after reboot...all of them are on the sd card..and i have to reinsert the sd card to get them back or i can move them to phone from the application setting and get them on the app screen .

Is this reboot thing a mem card problem then. This last reboot happened after 60 hours of hard usage (loads of sppedx3d game n wifi ).

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
Does anyone know why there had been such a dearth of pen-testing apps out for the android? (or am I just in the dark :) ). Wireshark is nice, but I would think given the future of mobile, and security concerns always on the rise, Android makes a great platform to run countless apps to sniff, manipulate js, xss even.

I mean I would think there would be a scaled down version of metasploit out by now.

There are some packages with metasploit, you can run a backtrack 5...etc.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
From my understanding it can only be done via ADB? And I have to perform "fastboot erase system -w"

But what exactly are the steps to do so?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
- Connect your phone to ADB on your PC (with the phone booted normally)

- run the command "ADB reboot bootloader"

- Once your phone reboots into the boot loader, run the fastboot wiping command

There might be an easier way to do, but that's what works for me.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Thanks a lot man, have always read your helpful comments all the way back to my G1 days. Appreciate the quick reply.

And btw, do you perform a fastboot wipe rather than the traditional wipe via a recovery? And does this have any particular advantage doing this?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Glad I could help. Honestly, I've never done a wipe via fastboot, but talking about it actually makes me want to try it. I've always done it through recovery, so I really don't know if one is better than another. Let me know how it goes.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
I just did it and works like a charm. Thanks again! And the recent CM7RC4 was very buggy for me so I'm gonna see if a fastboot wipe will solve my issues. Also, I know you're a big sense rom fan, I just tried the Thunderbolt rom via team royal, I was wondering if Evil's HD port is better? Is it the same version of sense?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
The Thunderbolt is said to have Sense 2.0 whereas eViL's D-HD port is 1.84, but there's no difference that I can see. RoyalThunder doesn't have the new features that Sense 2.1 has. In my opinion eViL's is better, but I'm probably being partial since I've been running his ROM for months with great success...no bugs, 100% stable, and fast. Tomorrow I might upgrade to the latest version with includes Ext4, and for the first time I'll try Faux's Froyo/Sense kernel with it. I'll let you know what I think.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Alright thanks! Biggest problem for me is getting GPS to work.... My GPS is so buggy, didn't work at all on RoyalThunder, and sometimes doens't work on CM. I'm not sure if I have a defective unit or not but I can see that most people have GPS problems as well. Kinda disappointing since my little ol G1's GPS locked on instantly every time and on every ROM. =/
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acsi007:
mack- what you on now that gps doesnt work? i assume you tried reflashing the rom, and also gps fix from the market?

also, which version of RG was bad on GPS? im on 1.6 and the worst i have to do is reboot and it comes back. I'm thinking of flashing 2.1 now, i'm hoping that doesnt have a gps issue as well.
