I used to be with a lot of critics largely on why Moto has to rush such a potentially great product to the market just almost for the sake of being the "first honeycomb tablet", even with "Honeycomb" is not at that time a well tested or used OS.

And now I think I got it. Despite of all these good/bad issues around Xoom, I think this move from Moto is pretty good move.

The advantage of being in the market available earlier than the rest of the pack did make a difference. Just judging from

1. the Dev's attention (Kernels coming and 44 threads in xda dev section even before Honeycomb source code is published). Look, the Dev community are group of Tech enthusiasts who are mostly early adopters. This product carried the new OS to the market, this fact alone will draw strong attention and millions apps developer, who sees Android as future OS of the tablet market , want to get it as soon as possible so that their apps will come out much earlier to the market.

2. Peripheral accessories' manufacturers' attention: If you search in Amazon or online, many case / screen protector / charger/ dock / speaker manufacturer already use Xoom to represent almost entire 10.1 inch tablet market. They did not include "Transformer" in their product name (no offense, but really to my best knowledge, nor A500)

3. Average consumers they can't remember and tell the differences of all those specs, but they only know one name: Xoom. Anecdotally, my manager, who spends life in Finance industry and has not much idea of what is different between Ram and Harddisk etc, asked my the VERY CORRECT question" Is that a Xoom?" God bless him he did not ask "is that an iPad". ^^

This is not statistical proof but rather anecdotal ones, my friends around now all know that Xoom is a contender to iPad and LOOKS COOL &FEELS SOLID.

I guess if a Tablet is drawn in the waves of tablets launching events, the tablet can't really be remembered then. Evidence being almost bestbuy staff can't tell Acer or ASUS (by the way, this two pronounce too similar to each other)

So much for my saturday night chitchat.

Xoom is a solid piece of product with both Moto's hardware and Dev's contribution =)

It was worth it to rush to be the first Honeycomb Tablet, I think.

I was pretty skeptical about this purchase but this little thing is growing on me the more I use it :D

I was torn between this and an actual computer but Im realizing how VERY much I use my phone.. this tab does everything my evo does and does almost all of it better. Much better.

edit- some have criticized the power button placement, I really like it. It is unique and convenient.
[Xoom General] ClydeB1:
And the wave is starting to grow and gain momentum quietly reaching #1 bestseller and #2 Top rated tablet on Amazon - http://www.topcomputertablets.com/m...nd-2-top-rated-tablet-ranks-on-amazon/224151/
[Xoom General] Kalavere:
Ditto, I almost sent mine back. God knows why but it seems to have a 'breaking in period', it was uber slow and crappy, FCs here there and eveywhere when first got it. But now it's settled down, albeit still stock, for now, I absolutely love it. :-D
[Xoom General] cceinkor:
I was also skeptical after the first week but I'm loving my Xoom. It sits well between my notebooks and my EVO, but I find it displaces my EVO usage more than my notebook. Just like when I picked up the HTC Hero when it launched, there are issues but nothing breaking.
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
I believe the Xoom will have the same impact as the original Droid. People swear by the OD and my son uses mine to this day. I asked him if he wanted a new Droid X he said he wanted something sexy looking like the OD. Go figure!
[Xoom General] Smokexz:
Yeah I was skeptical too, my friend said I would regret it. I haven't, I know I can trust in Google at least to make the software stable. As for some of the hardware issues or problems ( HDMI, bluetooth, etc.) I don't mind it too much, I am getting a micro HDMI cable and I would probably never use it too much, I don't use a keyboard or a mouse ( that would ruin the point of this being touch screen). Still being one of the few with a Honeycomb tablet is exciting, you get to start the future of Honeycomb. I gave some advice and some feedback for the Droid Reader Tablet Edition, and when I see the update show up on the market, I downloaded it and saw that some of the advice that I have given to the dev was implemented, which is pretty cool, considering one day thousands of millions of people will be downloading it and running it, and I will know that I have helped them in a way. Sounds stupid I guess, but still just very excited to help out with software and stuff.

[Xoom General] jjank11:
i have to say that the zoom is simply awesome. I played around with all the available tablets on the market for about a month and easily settled on the zoom. I love honeycomb, even though it has a few shortcomings at the moment which should get fixed up. Once Google fixes some bugs and adds some much needed features. I've been using my laptop much less now, as well as my phone (hotspot aside). I'm not going to complain much about the limitations and bugs since I know they'll get worked out, but my one big worry is if Google decides to launch its own nexus tablet this summer as well as the speed in which mobile hardware is evolving right now. Anyhow, just my 2cents
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
I don't think I can take another “is that the new ipad? ” comment at work...
[Xoom General] SemperAndroid:
The Xoom IMHO is worth every penny. When you tie in the amazing hardware with Honeycomb and then the amazing features provided by XDA devs, it is beyond any doubt worth it.

I use my Xoom everyday, and for the most part I have absolutely no regrets.

I might add, just consider the screw job Samsung did with the Galaxy Tab by not providing a Honeycomb update on a device that was barely 4 months old at the time in which Xoom RTM.
[Xoom General] nebenezer:
well...

In the last few days I've gone from "looks promising, glad I have two weeks to decide" to "pry this thing from my hands, I dare you.."

Still completely stock and I am blown away :eek:

Between Google Body, YouTube and some network maintenance I did today I couldn't help thinking "this is some star-trek-shiz, man"
[Xoom General] flombs:
I was thinking of buying the iPad 2 here in Oz (I do have an iPad), then decided that I had enough of the no flash support, and to be honest, got bored playing games on it.

I bought my Xoom from the US through Amazon, when I received it, I was like a little kid in a candy store! After a few days, I got bored of it. No SDcard support, no flash, no ad-hoc wifi.....then I cam across these forums....well...let's just say, I sleep with my Xoom under my pillow now. :D Kidding.;)

I'm only a newby when it comes to Android, and you can tell, it has so much potential.

What kind of connector does the phone use???

If it's micro usb what did the G1 have?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crawler9:
The G1 used HTC's version of mini-usb. It functioned perfectly fine with a normal mini-usb cord, but had a more square-ish shape and could also be used with attachments for audio out.

The G2x, along with most phones in production now, uses micro-usb.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
microUSB v2.0

Thanks for you help.

microUSB v2.0

They always change something to make us buy more car and house chargers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] down8:
MicroUSB was agreed, internationally, to be the standard. In fact, by using

any

USB variant, the extraneous chargers are reduced exponentially.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] CrazyCharlie:
The G1 had mini USB, which nobody uses anymore.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
Now they need to stop including them. I have like 10. Kind of defeats the purpose of making it standard so you don't need 12 different chargers if the keep including them by default. LG could have left out that cable and put in an hdmi instead. I'm just saying.

Anyone want a micro usb charger? LOL.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
That be good idea. We get a HDMI cable that don't kill our phones.

Just gave this rom a shot and wasn't at all impressed. It ran very quickly and smoothly and definitely had some nice features. However it is clear to see there was no effort made to properly set this rom up for a tablet and most stuff displays like it should be on a phone.

If for some reason anyone does want to try ultimate droid just make sure to format system first from whatever rom you're coming from. I did that and had a totally problem free install.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryjabo:
Anyone else get a random black screen of death with CM7? To clarify, when you open an app, the screen will just black out except for the notification bar. Sometimes you have to force stop the app and re-launch it. This happened once and I couldn't even get into Settings | Applications to force stop it, as that was "BSOD" also. I had to reboot. There's no specific app that it happens with, either.

Also happens regardless of the kernel I'm using. HW0003.

It drove me nuts for the last time today and I rolled back to completely stock Sense 2.2 ROM. I already miss CM7 :(

Is this something fixable? I really don't want to use Sense UI until they release the official Sense/2.3 update (I have the 100% brightness problem with the leaks). I can't imagine the CM brains would overlook a problem like this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VirusZer0:
I would just recommend a complete wipe...wipe again..and again..and oh yeah, wipe dalvik a few times too. Then try to reflash CM7 and see what that does for you. And try using the stock kern for a while, then switch and see if the issue replicates.

Rather bump my old thread than start a new one. These problems still happen using the latest "stable" build and the kernel that it comes with. I thought it was the launcher at first, but it happens with LP or ADW.

This is massively frustrating.

I've wiped and reflashed so many times I'm going to puke. I've even used Caulkin's wipe .zip script.

EDIT: Add these to the list of issues:

1. Sometimes when you are typing a URL or something into the browser address bar, the letters don't show up as you type

2. Sometimes when you hit the numbers button on the default keyboard, nothing happens, so you're "typing blind"

The Black Screen of Death happens to lots and lots of various programs, not just ones that "aren't compatible" -- like Gmail, messaging, Market, it's also prevented me from going to Settings | Applications to kill apps off, too...

[HTC Inspire 4G] Chubby_Skunk:
So I sold my Inspire because the battery is garbage and can't last a day with heavy usage. So is there an extended battery that could make this phone last at least a day???? This phone is a big downgrade from the Atrix with that tiny battery :mad:
[HTC Inspire 4G] drewdatrip:
I saw a nice boost rooting and going with CM7 notmassive but better. Other then that consider trying a undervolted kernel, it worked for me. With some moderate to heavy usage im around 20 hours

[HTC Inspire 4G] Chubby_Skunk:
Ill go get my brothers and try it. The only thing is that I like the full 1ghz. My Atrix can run the Tegra 2 with heavy usage for up to a solid 22hours.... I got to 26 once.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Well, if you already sold it and you consider it a downgrade from the Atrix, why would you still want an extended battery?

If battery is all that matters, then go with the atrix. You won't find much of a dev section for it though.

In any case, there isn't an extended battery available that will match the atrix, and any aftermarket ones with a listed capacity greater than the existing stock battery most likely won't perform at their advertised capacity anyhow.

There are tradeoffs with any phone. The inspire has to be micromanaged to optimize its battery, which admittedly, isn't the greatest.

Still wouldn't trade mine for an atrix, though.

Inspired Ace ¦ XDA Premium
[HTC Inspire 4G] helushune:
Even rooted and running something like CM7 with, say, LorDmod's undervolted kernel he's still not going to get more than a day out of the phone with "heavy usage" unless it's underclocked as well. One of the biggest killers is the screen and backlight simply due to its sheer size.

I was able to pull 2days 14 hours out of an Inspire with LorDmod's -25mV undervolt but I'm pretty light on the usage.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
I agree. The screen is what kills it for sure. No way around that, aside from reducing screen brightness and minimizing/optimizing all the other non-screen functions of the phone, to leave more juice for the screen to consume. ;)

2 days 14 hrs is pretty good, but knowing what your screen-on time for that period was would put in better context.

Inspired Ace ¦ XDA Premium
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
Couldn't agree with you more. I started with the Inspire for a few days hated the battery and volume so I went with the Atrix. After 26+ days and the lack of development and the fact the phone got crazy hot after playing games for not long I decided to come back to Inspire. Haven't even thought about the Atrix since! The choice of REAL ROMs and the fact it's an overall much nicer feeling phone (not cheap feeling) sold me on the Inspire. Not to mention the fact that the screen on the Atrix, qHD and all, IMO sucks color wise compared to the Inspire. The "THD" games I bought weren't all that impressive IMO and cost more money as well. I am yet to have the Inspire run dead on me while I was out and if I know I'm going to be out for a while it's simple to bring a charger in the car and give it extra juice to last. Screw the Atrix and it's locked bootloader thanks to garbage Motorola!

[HTC Inspire 4G] zephxiii:
Is keeping a spare batt on you feasible with this phone? I mean, is switching the battery a real pain in the butt on it? I'd be afraid of the door wearing out and not wanting to stay in place.
[HTC Inspire 4G] helushune:
Pretty minimal. I get a lot of emails so it's on to check/reply to those and refresh a twitter feed. In that particular screenshot I had to reflash CM and the LorDmod kernel (it's the big drop around 60%).

Depends on where you open it. It's insanely easy to pull off if you put your nail under the volume buttons instead of the edge. Like this video shows.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Lol. I actually *wanted* the atrix, aka Olympus, before it was released.

I guess it depends on what kind of impression your previous phone left you with, as well.

For me, I had a captivate, so just having a phone that I didn't have to worry about finding out it turned off on its own, or that gps actually works, set the bar pretty low in terms of what a better phone is.

That's not to minimize the inspire -- it really is a great phone in its own right, but still... Someone who's expecting an iPhone or feature phone in terms of battery performance is going to be in for a bit of readjustment going to an inspire.
