[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jai134:
I have had a hard day trying to recover my Xoom. No success. My biggest problem for now is:

How do I shut it down. The screen is on showing the M bootlogo. The powerbutton doesn't do it. From what I understand so are the tablet "off" because the charging light goes on when I connect the charger. I read in a thread somewhere that the light doesn't go on if the tablet is on.

So how do I shut down a tablet that's not on?

I'm afraid that the screen will be damaged if it has the same picture on it untill the battery is drained. Perhaps that's not the case nowadays, but I don't know.

Anyone that do know?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamaicansolja:
Have u tried just hold power volume up?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jai134:
Yes. That only reboots to logoscreen and Starting RSDmode 3.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idkwhothatis123:
Can't just shut it down. Gotta boot into fastboot and flash a boot.img, then power it off. Obnoxious I know.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z06mike:
Hold volume up and power at the same time. See if that works!

Oops just saw the 2nd post.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krat0s123:
Yup, follow post #2 to shut it down. But make sure you let go of both buttons as soon as the screen turns off. Also, if you wanna unbrick your semi bricked xoom, use a windows XP machine (win 7 64bit just gives me too many problems). You can use the one click root solution to make it easier for you. To get it to fastboot mode (to restore the boot.I mg and system.I mg files), you have to hold power+volume up button, and as soon as the screen turns on, let go of both buttons and press volume down immediately.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorack8000:
u may need to download your devices partition images and reflash them in fastboot
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jai134:
Thank you. I'm sorry but that didn't help. I can't boot into fastboot mode. When I follow your advice I boot into the logo screen without any text in the upper left corner. Then I give the "fastboot flash boot boot.img"-command from CMD. It just sits there <waiting for device>. I think I have to send it back to Best Buy and let them repair it. It was nice for 5 hours though. My personal best in bricking.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexDP:
I got stuck at that screen once and shut it down by holding the power button for a very long time. At least 30 second, if not more. Perhaps that'll work for you.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krat0s123:
OK, try this.. Reboot the device by pressing on the power and volume up key. Hold both keys til it reboots and you see the motorola logo. As soon as you see the motorola logo, let go of the power and volume up key. Press on the volume down button once and it would then give you the choice of booting Android (recovery), press the volume down again for the RSD mode, press on the volume again and it will then give you the choice of fastboot mode. Pressing the volume up key will select the current boot mode displayed... See if that works..
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jai134:
No. I can't get into any recovery. It boot into RSD mode 3 or no text in upper left corner. In that mode I can't use fastboot or adb. What can I do with RSD mode 3? Can I create the file that can be flashed with RSD Lite from a wifi xoom dump in the development forum?

I,m justwondering if EC01 radio would work with CM6 rom and jts kernal? i see where people say it works on Mes but i didnt see if rom or kernal mattered or not. what file would i odin to get back Not sure which # i have points to radio?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
If you flash their radio, you'll only be able to use their roms, so they will all say verizon (but you'll still use USCC's network.)

Our rom's are not compatible with their radios.

This is not a suggestion to do so, btw :).

You would use odin to flash the modem.bin from our stock release but I've only been able to do so as the entire package - I don't think anyone has made a package with the EC10 radio only.

[Xoom General] liaquila:
Some guys in the Galaxy Tab thread are reporting problems with GTab wifi not being able to download some apps from Android Market.

I'm a few days from buying a Xoom here in Brasil. I am thinking of wifi only model but I have to be sure that Market can be used as in the 3G model
[Xoom General] poisike:
I have a wifi only Xoom, Market works great.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
I don't have any issues with the market here. But the Galaxy Tab uses the 2.2 market, not the tablet market as far as I recall.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
I should say there are a couple of apps that the Wifi Xoom doesn't play nice with. Including XDA and Pandora.
[Xoom General] burden010:
I actually have a question about the market, how do I find tablet optimized apps?
[Xoom General] poisike:
Search for honeycomb
[Xoom General] Sistum Id:
Only trouble I have with the market is what I'm assuming everyone else is having. Can't leave comments, can't browse by new released apps, and when browsing for apps, any app you've already installed, it will still say "Install or Purchase".

he was suggesting that ROM, because ur thread title asking better camera and multitouch ! sorry bad english :)
[XPERIA X8 General] RealJTG:
There is NO WAY to get multitouch on our device. Also there is no normal dualtouch for now, only rough software emulation. Maybe some lucky genius could fix chip's firmware to force it return 2 finger coordinates.
[XPERIA X8 General] mati96PL:
Or just crack/bypass bootloader xd

And dual touch = smaller multitouch
[XPERIA X8 General] junixquiaoit:
this thread says better camera and multi touch,

well, the answer is get a new phone. :D
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
Lol.... lol... :)

How many times we have to say that our phone will propable never get multytouch.

We will sure get dualtouch when devs crack bootloader
[XPERIA X8 General] treebill:
dual touch is better then single :P and the emulated dual touch isn't to bad double tab is still better on browser tho :P as for the camera thats a big no no is fixed focus it will never get better :/
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
That is best dualtouch or multytouch depeds on the default paraments of each... can be set good or bad.

As for the camera there are good apps that shoorten the shot time, so you can take shot easier (photo is better too)
[XPERIA X8 General] junixquiaoit:
yes, you're right. let's hope that cracking the bootloader may give us dual/multi. :D :D

but dont let your hopes too high,
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
...i think that when the bootloader is cracked we will have dualtouch for sure but blagus said it drain too much cpu... :(

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cache83:
flashed SRF 1.1.0 a couple days ago (first time rooting and all -- yeehaw!), so this is a n00b question

i know that for that, i had to data data, cache, and dalvik cache

i've also flashed the Vision kernel, which ... seemed like it didn't require wiping data or cache or dalvik cache

i've also flashed an impaled keyboard tweak and that one seemed to require wiping just cache and dalvik cache, but not data (as i recall)

so... i'm just confused, and wondering... when do i know if i need to wipe data, or just cache/dalvik, or none at all?

i just flashed the AOSP screen lock zip .. didn't see any instructions, so i figure wipe cache and dalvik, but not data (didn't want to lose my texts was my thinking)... and i just made that up. and that seemed to work. but i figure if i knew the rules of thumb, i'd feel better like i knew what i was doing

any clues / insights would be super appreciated!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeerChameleon:
The only time u wipe:

1.

Data/Cache/Dalvik

For a rom flash that says on the rom thread wipe wipe wipe

2.

Cache/Dalvik

Is mainly when u flash themes its reccomended

3.

As for kernals and other mods unless it says to wipe then you dont need to...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Top Nurse:
Nice info so far. :)

After you have done this a while you can start drawing from your brain through osmosis and you will understand: if it doesn't work the way you want....EXPERIMENT. :D

Sent from Bonsai 7.0.3
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feefeeboomboom:
the above post is correct, sorta.

anytime u flash something that mods /system its good practice to wipe cache and dalvik cache.

flashing a kernel, u will want to wipe cache/dalvik cache just to be safe. it prevents any sort of incompatibility between kernels.

my 2 cents
[myTouch 3G Slide General] djgraff209:
I need to see if anyone is having this issue since upgrading to the Froyo release on the myTouch 3G Slide from HTC.

What I'm seeing is that the browser is not raising view intents for links.

Simple way to test on a "stock" 2.2 upgrade from HTC with Google Maps installed.

Using google search, enter any address.

Resulting google page should have a google maps link.

Click the link for google maps.

Expected behavior: prompt for continue with "Internet" or "Google Maps"

Observed behavior: no prompt, jump straight to maps.google.com (or regional equivalent)

If you are seeing this behavior, contact HTC and reference ticket number 11USCW16ENA000766.

Also contact T-Mobile, ask them to escalate this with HTC reference same HTC ticket number.

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] SefEXE:
Is there maybe an option when looking at your applications(Settings -> Applications ->Whatever Program) to "clear defaults"? Does it even work like that on Stock Espresso? :x

Or is this problem completely different? :o
[myTouch 3G Slide General] djgraff209:
Yeah I had checked that clearing defaults & clearing data for both applications.

This worked fine under 2.1 prior to upgrade.

I wrote a program to check with intent filter and it fails.

WikiDroid doesn't work either.

I upgraded my wife's as well as my own phone at the same time and same issue on both.

I as I stated above, I opened a support ticket with HTC, a T-Mobile rep confirmed that there has been a reported issue but as yet no work around has been provided.

I also escalated this with T-Mobile so we'll see if it gains traction from people calling in about it.

Thanks

[Thunderbolt Accessories] albotz21:
I know they posted this topic for other phones but i just got these anti glare protectors for the tb and they blow ass! I just asked for the plastics and didn't look. i didn't even know they made this garbage. Reduces the quality of your screen tremendously! So if you buy screen protectors make sure they are not anti glare..because they suck......really bad
[Thunderbolt Accessories] want a droid:
To each his own. I prefer anti-glare/fingerprint over all other screen protectors. I used them on my Droid 2 and now use them on my ThunderBolt.

The negative, as you said, is reduced screen quality, but to me the pros outweigh the cons. I love not having to see ugly fingerprints/smudges across the screen, as well as being able to see the screen in the sun.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] dirtyfingers:
I agree, I can't stand the anti glare/fingerprint screen protectors. It was nice to not have fingerprints all over my screen, but definitely not worth the diminished quality of the screen. Everything was cloudy and full brightness looked like it was on halfway. They do blow!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] metaknyte:
Steinheil Ultra Fine

Have one of these on my TBolt. Changes the texture of the screen, but works incredibly well. Comes with two in a pack, kind of a steep price, though I find them better than the Zaggs which are kinda.... too slick?

They reduce glare by a good margin, fingerprints are much less noticeable (pizza grease from idiot friends still shows up) and will protect the screen from most scratches you can throw at it
[Thunderbolt Accessories] eccenpix:
Does it affect brightness?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] albotz21:
i guess your right the fingerprint factor is good but i use slingbox and watch my cable on the phone and it makes the video very grainy. seems like video is darker. after getting used to the hq screen, i cant get used to it. like you said to each their own
[Thunderbolt Accessories] metaknyte:
Not really. I have my brightness set to about 60 and its still pretty good. Not gonna lie, you can tell theres something on the screen, but the texture of it plus the reduction in fingerprints is just amazing. Will always have a steinheil protector on my phone from now on
[Thunderbolt Accessories] dirtyfingers:
Yes they do, I used to have one on my phone and my dad had the ultra crystal and with the brightness turned up on both phones mine was like half as bright.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ovrclck:
I just replaced my ultra fine with the crystal clear. Best decision yet! Now I can actually see how colorful the lcd is, before it was too cloudy.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Auronis1:
Just got the Ultra Fine after using the Verizon screen protector. Very disappointed. Verizon protector had a lot of glare in the sun, and fingerprints but could easily be wiped off. Ultra Fine kills my colors, is just as difficult to see in the sun, and shows a rainbow effect on white webpages/documents. I'm sending them a complaint and some pictures, paid way too much for this... texture is nice though!

They even advertise on the package "no rainbow effect" urgh.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] albotz21:
wow im surprised so many people rather reduce the quality of their screen over a little glare or finger smudge. i guess if you watch a lot of video on your phone, you can deal with the glare like i do. they are nice not to wipe your phone all the time, but the way they pixelate the screen drives me nuts
[HTC Inspire 4G] Khalsa4G:
Hi guys,

Just rooted my Inspire 4G and trying to figure out the most optimal way to find out what's the best I can get with my battery life, HSPA, etc. Is there any specific process? i.e.

1) Fully charge

2) Flash Radio

3) Complete wipe data/cache

4) Flash ROM

I had recently flashed CM7 on my phone then tried a different radio (06.04.14) to see if I get better battery life but my HSPA got shot to hell. I tried the same with (05.05.27 M3) but still HSPA is super low. Trying to flash the stock again and see what happens. but if I'm flashing the radio does that have any effect on how the ROM should perform? It shouldn't right? Thanks..

[G2 and Desire Z General] itm:
I'm having problems playing video on my Desire Z (mainly Xvid and Divx that I had converted for viewing on my old Touch Pro 2). When I try to play the videos on the Desire Z (using VPlayer) they are recognised but will not play back. By that I mean that I can see the video, and scroll through it using the navigation bar which will show me freeze-frames from the video, but when I press the play button it will not start playing. It's as if it's permanently in pause mode.

Can anyone recommend a video converter which will produce output playable by the Desire Z, preferably one with basic editing facilities (e.g ad removal), and preferably free or Open Source? A batch conversion option (i.e. for multiple files) would also be useful.

That is because you are not paying for the service. It is a paid service and they are able to track if you are trying to do it. Solution: don't tether, or pay for it
