Did you try uninstalling, rebooting, clearing cache and Dalvik, then reinstalling?

Its working fine here on a tweaked stock GB ROM, but it acted weird at first until I rebooted and did those steps.

My push notifications are even working still.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipigi:
Hi everyone,

I've been toying with the idea of purchasing a Xoom since it was announced, but before launching myself into a 500$+ purchase, I would like to make sure the device does what I expect it to.

Here is a short list of what I am looking for in a tablet. If possible, could you guys tell me if the Xoom fits my needs.

Microsoft Exchange support

If yes, can I add multiple Exchange accounts? Support for calendars as well?

Video Playback

I watch a lot of 350MB (xvid) and 1.09Gb (mkv) tv shows. Is there a good player that supports playback? Is playback choppy/laggy or loses audio sync? I've seen and read a lot of bad press on this.

Video playback is potentially a deal maker/breaker. Video has to be smooth, and I'd like to avoid having to re-encode video if I dont have to. If a made in china device like the superpad can read MKV files, why not a dual core beast?

Tethering

I have an iPhone 3G and a tethering plan. I can tether to my laptop. Will I be able to tether to the XOOM?

SAMBA/SMB Share navigation

Can I browse network shares stored on my computer? Can I provide logon credentials to browse shares for a domain network? (Ex : DOMAIN\user:password or user(at)domain.local:password). Can I stream video over Wifi and network shares?

VPN

Is there support for L2TP over IPSEC? Certificate or PSK?

I'm quite computer savvy, it just seems difficult to get facts straight on tablets these days.

Thank you all in advance for reading this and taking the time to reply.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paradaz:
A quick set of answers for you:

Exchange support - Yes

Calendars - Yes

Video Playback - unfortunately I can't answer that but I'm sure it won't be a problem with all the available apps and answers from other users regarding HD playback/re-encoding/compression

Tethering - Yes, works a treat...I'm doing it from my HTC Desire and Laptop.

SAMBA/SMB - Yes, 'Cifs Manager' from th Android Marketplace is a doddle to use. Streaming video/audio via wifi and network shares is easy.

VPN - not sure

Hope that helps.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyrator:
Video playback - Yes, moboplayer

VPN - Yes openvpn just look around the fourms
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Be aware that not everything (like openvpn) - will work out of the box. You will need to do some work, and possibly void the devices warranty (Unlock/root)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catttman:
Costco has 90 days .... to return if you have one... Or can Order on line

(As I did)

Thats the way I went thanks and good luck
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipigi:
How good of a playback are we talking about. I've been reading a lot of people (on these forums and other places as well) who are having problems playing back some video files. Stuttering, laggy, things like that.

I'm going to be using this device for personal use first and work second, so smooth video playback is important and is probably the biggest reason for the purchase of a xoom.

For VPN, I've been digging around and found a thread on the xoomforums dot com website (I cant post a link yet, I'm too green). Note that I plan to use L2TP over IPSEC, and not pure IPSEC to connect to a VPN. Apparently there is native support for that without the need for OpenVPN.

Also, does anyone know if there is a Remote Desktop app so I can connect and control windows 7/vista PCs from the tablet?

Thanks to everyone for the replies!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbiev80:
350MB (xvid) ---> play beautifully using moboplayer

1.09Gb (mkv) ---> choppy as **** on any player or if the video plays smoothly, the audio is non existant.

Im assuming these are "borrowed" videos downloaded from the internet. ;)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
I just use Handbrake to convert files to my Android devices. I just run into too many problems otherwise.

And if you are trying to play MKV files with subtitles. I've found no solution for that. Rockplayer kinda works if it's 480p or less. Though sometimes the audio gets out of sync.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e.mote:
If the subs are in text (srt) format, HB should move them over. If they're bitmaps (vobsub/pgs) or have styles (ass/ssa/smi), they can't be converted w/o an intervening translation/OCR step, since MP4 container only accepts plain text subs.

MKV->MP4 conversion is OK if you don't watch foreign films and don't care about subs. It's a PITA otherwise.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paradaz:
Do a search for 'Remote Desktop' on the market place...there are a handful which all work great. I can verify blistering speeds connecting to Windows 7 (32 and 64-bit)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
The Xoom can't decompress the audio at all? I'm not a huge fan of re-encoding video and I perfer to just drag and drop to play videos, my Desire can just about keep 20-25 fps playing 350Mb HD video, 20 minute anime series, the audio is fine as well. Why can't the Xoom play a 1Gb file with it's dual core CPU?

*edit* That's my Desire playing MKV's, not AVI etc.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nism300ZXTT:
For what its worth I just tested an 840mb mkv file on moboplayer and it was flawless, no issues with audio at all. I haven't tried anything over 1gb though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin001111:
i recently stepped on my G2 and sent it in to tmobile. It was rooted running CM7. im not completely sure but is the old way (visionary temp root, then some files, some commands, then perm root through visionary) still working with new G2's? im getting my new one soon and want to be able to root it the hour i get it. I have little or no experience with ADB but I can pick up on things fast if someone is willing to guide me through it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ks93kc12:
I am not responsible if this bricks your phone but it did work fine for me.

It takes much less than an hour to complete and is very easy to do.

Uses an updated visionary plus so there is no longer a need for inputting commands.

1) go the the android market search for and download Astro File Manger. The free version will work fine.

2) Download the file I have attached. Credit to modaco.

3) Plug your phone into your computer via the usb cable and put the file you just downloaded onto the sd card not any sub folder.

4) On your phone go to settings > application and check the bo off that reads unknown sources.

5) Go to the Astro app the home button should take you to the SD card. Browse through the list and find com.modaco.visionaryplus.r14.apk click the file and then click open app manager. Follow the on screen instructions.

6) go to the visionary plus app (its a yellow triangle) and press temproot now. Wait for it to finish.

7) once temp root is finished (if visionary exited go back to the app) and now press attempt perm root now. This may take several minutes and once your phone reboots you will have a rooted g2.

Good to know. I got two non original batteries for my Nexus One. One was a fake from DinoDirect that looked authentic but barely lasted half what it should have. But the Momax I bought from NCIX is so close to the original in performance that I usually forget which one is actually in there.

i was updating my vibrant phone in kies and i thought the file was still being downloaded when i received a call.

i took the call and got off as soon as possible.

when the installation finished it started to reboot but never made it and i have not been able to get any kind of start-up screen at all.

i am totally bricked.

before the update i was able to get into download mode but no more.

no two button or three button combos work.

i am leaving the battery out all night and will try again tomorrow but i am not hopeful.

moral of the story is take out the damn sim card when updating so as not to screw up the download.

sigh.

anyone have any ideas what to do with the boat anchor besides trying to talk t-mobile into taking it back.

New to the android world. I just got my moto charm B502 from tmobile. I've already rooted it and done alot of research but I just can't get a definitive answer...are there any custom roms for the B502 with motoblur? And if so can I please have suggestions on the best ones? Thanks for any help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pivo187:
Is there anyway to get rid of how the screen bounces from left to right? Its really annoying...Also when you slide down the notification bar is there anyway to have a on off switch there for 3g & all background data? Also, is there anyway to get the battery life of a CM7 mod to that of stock rom?

BTW is it just me or is the CM 7 mod (im using the destroyer v2 version of CM7) much faster than stock rom or in my case Im using the Spring Lovers rom? Does changing the profiles in the CPU settings change anything like going from ondemand which I am on now to performance? It seems that the sprint lovers battery lasts much longer that is currently my only downside for this mod...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
You should have an app anim mod or something that will edit the screen transitions, but it can be tricky to use.

I think you can just open the spare parts app and change transition animations to off. That should do it.

For the 3g data toggle, go to menu>settings>CM Settings>Interface>Notification Widgets. From there you can put where ever toggles you want in there.

Most people feel like AOSP ROMs are a little faster just b/c they have less crap in them compared to Sense ROMs. That's why they're only 60-80mb instead of 150+.

You can play with the governors in CPU settings and see which one works for you. I think conservative or OnDemand are the way to go, depends on how they work for you.

When switching from Sense to AOSP, you need to wipe battery stats. Charge the phone until it's full, unplug it and turn it off. charge it while it's off until the green light comes back on and unplug it again. Do that 10 times. Then go into recovery and wipe battery stats. That should get you more battery life.

Here are some other tips:

http://greenfieldroid.wordpress.com/2010/12/27/battery-tips-for-longer-battery-life/

If those don't work, try the tiamat Kernel. Should be able to squeeze 20hrs out of the battery on light/moderate use.

[Vibrant General] dcaples002:
Same thing happened to me a while back.

the only way of resurrecting your phone if its COMPLETELY bricked is to use a JIG box... Google it... Otherwise its basically paperweight and if you have insurance call it in lost or stolen.
[Vibrant General] dcaples002:
You corrupted the bootloader.
[Vibrant General] irv6744:
all the jig boxes say they get the phone into download mode.

however one of the ebay vendors says:

If your phone screen is always black, turn it on and if it stays completely black, then sorry, but NO USB jig will help you.

so i don't understand how the jig will help me since i cannot get any response from the phone at all.

how is the jig wired.

do you know.

You can try the jig it may work for you connextion2005 sells for 8 bucks. You can try to push the bootloader through adb, don;t know you exact situation.

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] hell1134:
Can this be used with mik's CM7 beta6.1 rom ?

TIA
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] marioemp2k7:
Very nice job! I will try it asap.

Attached the edify signed version (Clockworkmod 3 :)). It installs just fine.

@hell1134: I think it should work on any rom that obeys the prerequisites and that are properly explained by ungaze (no apps2SD script installed or if it is something just uninstall in order to try this).
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ungaze:
Should work with any non-app2SD Optimus One ROM on the fly. Make a backup first.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] marioemp2k7:
The script works fine. I tested it on Mik's beta 6.2. The only issue I have seen is with the themes. Even though a theme is selected, it defaults to the System one and since I could not find a way to do a hot reboot I couldn't properly apply my desired theme.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Momaro:
I have the other dalvik cache script running right now. You talk a lot about improving the life of the device/sd and saving space for apps. Is there no performance gains with doing this?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ungaze:
Personally, I don't find any huge/noticeable gain on any mod I have done with O1 this is because O1 is already super fast as it is, and it's a good thing. But if you're the kind of person who measures performance based on benchmark's, then data2sd will give you huge I/O performance gain(specially in quadrant). On the other hand, dalvik-cache2ram is purely for disk preservation only. Not much gain here.

regarding themes on miks CM7 6.2. I really don't have the slightest idea on what's happening with your themes. Maybe its in the way that CM implements themes? I reallt don't know as themes reside in the /system partition which should not be affected by the scripts that I have made.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] marioemp2k7:
I personally haven't seen any performance benefits. Anyway as I think about it the sdcard way is more preferably for me since I would never use one with a lesser class than 6.

@ungaze: Only the default themes (System, Androidian and Cyanbread) are in /system
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] lekhwani:
May be pasting your desired theme to system/app and removing the current default will help. Then even after reboot default will be your drsired theme.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] marioemp2k7:
I don't think it will help me since the question is about T-Mobile Theme Manager settings. I don't know where these are saved but it is pretty obvious that there are not in the right place since everything defaults to the System theme.

Edit: I have managed to make Hot Reboot (Quick Boot Plus) work so now I have the themes working properly since I can restart only the UI.

I will stick to this for now.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] sarfaraz1989:
one question :: is the phone really fast with data partition on sdcard's ext2 partition ??? anybody using it please give your inputs: Also How do i use this along with darktremor's a2sd ??? i just want data2sd not dlcache2ram
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] marioemp2k7:
I haven't used ext2 partition but I can tell you about 3 and 4. Theoretically, performance wise ext2 should be as fast as ext4 the only major difference being that the latter is a journaled fs.

In practice you will not see too much difference between the 3 of them on this phone.

I have used mostly ext4 and I am happy with it. Once the phone boots it adds a little waiting time to actually be ready (5-10 secs for me).

For the second part, I don't think it's feasible to use both. Instead you can use the original script by pomka78 and disable darktremor's dalvik script from (a2sd nocache).
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] 32bit:
I'd tried app2sd with microSD Class 4 and now I can say that for scheme "data@Ext, Dalvik@phone" ext2 is faster than ext3, and ext4 is a waaay faster than ext3. This scheme is very useful and most of the time it is as fast, as "all_data@phone" due to Dalvik cache is on nand. The scheme "(data&Dalvik)@Ext" with slow cards is almost useless because of the lags.

But of course it's better to use Class10 :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Ext2 is the fastest one because of no journalism.

Anyway this script works awesomely good. With a class 4 card my phone flies like it never did and I don't understand how anyone can say that it lags.
