[Xoom General] s.t.s:
Hi all

Here is my list ... kind of hoping that perhaps some of them are non-issues and perhaps already have suitable fixes :) I am really not on a bashing misioin here and want to try and create a constructive list of features / issues that need addressing ... even if moto / google don't pay attention then perhaps custom ROMs may take a look at the list if/when they start to be made. I'll update this post with other suggestions and comments and when things are fixed/changed.

All based on stock 3.0.1

Now categorised ... this blue font = fixed/no change required with version number tagged ... this purple font = wrokaround

Stock Honeycomb Features

Notification area

Network toggles without going into settings (those are almost the sole reason I have a CM7 rom on my phone!) Enhancement 15848

Volume widget/notification slider Enhancement 15847

Clear all notifications

UI/Launcher

A light theme ... I like the dark but in some cases light/white is so much easier on the eye (a little subjective but I have seen many people complain about this on all versions of android)

Set number of home screens

Folder support Enhancement 16335

Improve speed of home screen widget rendering, especially when rotating

Widget grouping

UX

Consistent text selection in all parts of the OS (and bug free as I often get misaligned arrow/cursor)

Scroll and task management in recent tasks

Scroll position remembered (i.e. in the market) Enhancement 16288

Bluetooth mouse pointer

Settings

VPN/proxy support Defect 1273

]PPOE

Native font support/installer

Allow wake with any button or better yet gesture like the play book

DRM to assist HBOGo/Netflix/Etc

Google Apps and Market

Dedicated tablet section for the Market (not really honeycomb but important and related still) - seems to be fixed ... partly [Market version 1.0.17]

Market in portrait

Google books for all! - books now available in the market/web reader but no app yet

Browser UA setting permanently Defect 16059 and Defect 15604

Browser stability improvements

Gmail "select all"

Mode to ensure all phone apps run ... like iPad handling of phone apps - seems this is the default behaviour but some apps are buggy (Get SpareParts from the market and untick "compatibility mode" to run all apps full screen)

XOOM hardware specific

Sd card support (I know this is available with tiamat but seriously ... it should be there in stock!!)

USB support

USB Mass storage - XOOM uses USB MTP which should work with FUSE in Linux [3.0.1]

USB Host (USB OTG) support (available again with Tiamat) Enhancement 738

I think we have a pretty good device in the XOOM and a solid OS in Honeycomb and in 6 months it will no doubt be great but I would like to do my bit for focusing my mind and hopefully others' on what is important for the next few updates.

I will check out the google bug tracker and link these to them and raise any that are not there already. Links added so you can track the ones that matter to you directly ... I will of course updated this thread if I receive any notifications. One thing is that the tracker seems to be a bit bloated and undermanaged/moderated which does not fill me with confidence for speedy fixes for many of these issues.

you live and learn ... at any rate you live

For the record I have a UK WiFi only MZ604
