[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
If anyone is having trouble getting the XOOM to connect to their Windows PC, I just discovered that the problem is underpowered USB ports.

The software you need is here:

http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers

After hours of messing around, I disconnected my XOOM from the front panel USB port and connected it to one of th USB 3.0 ports that my case has a passthrough to the front.

The solution isn't necessarily that USB 3.0 port solved it, but it does work fine in the 3.0 port. I think the solution is more the fact that the port is passthrough and really it's actually a higher powered case-rear port.

Hope this helps someone who might be getting frustrated as I did.

Just for the sake of completeness I'm running Windows 7 Professional x64.

A little while back (by mistake) I synced my google account with my phonebook, but now I have multiple entries in my phone book. I don't have the name entry twice but when I hit the edit button some of the information is in one entry and some information is in a 2nd entry. Does that make sense?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denenatse:
you should just delete second contact then back up and restore with titanium backup instead. sorry if I am confused with your problem

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goughymachine:
Hey ya's.

I've just discovered a problem I was having and was wondering if there's a way around it. Since going to GB I'd offhand noticed that when I opened my navigation apps, or golfshot my tasker profile to turn on GPS wasn't turning it on.

I deleted the profile the other day and started a new one, but when I was setting the task to turn on the GPS when these apps are started I got a message from Tasker that Google has disabled the ability for the gps to be turned on with the apps and that they require the user to in fact turn on the gps themselves.

I find this annoying as I've never had to think about the gps myself, it just went on and off with the apps thanks to good old Tasker.

Don't suppose anyone knows a fix for this or maybe with the heads up someone will go looking? Won't be me 'cause I can't do ****....... ;)

But I can hope someone will find a way.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeystarr:
Hi dear atrix users. Can someone help me with turning off the updater. The case is followig:

I've tried to make system update in phone setting, and i had notofication that "download will start when connected to a wifi", i have a wifi issue that's common for unlocked phones and it does not work. Now i want to discard updating process and take off that notification on the top. I've already updated my system through official "Motorola software update program" using my laptop connected to atrix. I've "force closed" and "cleared data" for "Updater" in application manager, and the notification disapears and after some time pops up again. Does somebody know how to swich it off? Thanks in advance.

[Streak 5 Accessories] rebski:

It is incredibly useful if you have several USB chargeable devices. It will charge up to 5 simultaneously.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
If you plug 2 or 3 other devices in at the same time it would have problems charging the Streak I think but it does look useful.

I agree with rebski, you have a very nice device but wanna skimp on how you charge it, resulting in possibly frying it.... dont think so...

I use only the Dell charger and cable at home, but I do use one called the Trans4mer when I am in the car
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
Care to explain yourself? or do you make a habit of insulting people without reason?
[Streak 5 Accessories] rebski:
Out of your own ignorance, you make an uninformed judgement denigrating my recommendation.

I take that as your insult to me in the first instance.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
I asked you to explain yourself, not mouth off again.

So tell me in what way was my statement in post three wrong?
[Streak 5 Accessories] rebski:
This:-

It does not have problems charging 5 5v USB devices at the same time.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
The specs advertised say it outputs 2000ma and you'll have no problems as long as you stick to that. If you plug in devices totaling more than 2000ma the output will drop on all ports and it will struggle/take longer to charge. The streak needs ~1000ma and my android phone needs 750ma, plug them in together and that leaves 250ma to spread between the other three ports.

I'm assuming it can output full power to one port if it needs to since you say it charges your streak ok (/edit actually you didn't say that but I assume it), but I don't think it can feed full power to all ports at the same time, that would make it a 10amp charger and it's a bit small looking for that.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No.

I read somewhere recently though, something having to do with Windows 8 that Microsoft was working on a port for ARM processors. Likely this won't include our old ARM v6 processor, however.

Reference:

Windows 8 ARM Press Release By Microsoft | Windows 8 News

and

Windows 8 ARM based tablets may launch before full desktop version ...

But the work of porting such a complex operating system, nevermind the SIZE, is way beyond anyone but the original author(s), especially since Windows is not open-source, which Android is.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
Maybe not for the Eris but there are some mean phones that could support it. Look at the hd2 I think it was. That phone came with winmo. Android got ported to it so it would be to easy to port winmo to any suitable phone.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xajel:
I think I saw a UK SE facebook guy replied that updating the firmware is only supported for unmodified software even if you have unlocked the phone...

the thing that I'm not sure about is if you modified the software, then used FlashTool to flash the original stock software... will this be enough to use SEUS ? or using SEUS is not supported at all after unlocking ?

I'm wondering this as this is my only concern... I don't care about DRM, but I do care about using SEUS to update rather than manually waiting for the updated stock image and flash it using FlashTool
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
Well, whoever that guy is, he was wrong.

After unlocking my bootloader but before rooting or anything else, I tried connecting my handset to SEUS but got an error message.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
Motorola's facebook account claimed there were going to try and develop a bootloader unlocking system for developer customers, that never happened.

The people manning these accounts are peons, or possibly not even direct SE employees, they may work for some sort of PR agency or similar.

So I for one am not at all surprised they don't know what they're talking about.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
They do work for a PR agency.. however.. they provide technical advice.. and my question was a direct one, to which they gave a direct answer.. and if I can't upgrade using SEUS then I'll be getting them to fix, either SEUS, or my phone!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thijs96:
Try doing "fastboot oem lock", that should work.

Or the same command as with the unlocking, that means including your key, but replacing "unlock" with "lock".
