[Xoom General] zonk7ate9:
I actually plan on selling my Xoom once a tablet with the new Qualcomm chipset comes out. I didn't realize the media limitations of the Tegra 2 until after I bought it and am having a bit of buyers remorse now. The new Qualcomms can decode 1080p like the TI used in the Playbook. I'm not sure if this is something that can be addressed by nvidia via drivers. For the record I'm able to play high profile (4500kbps) 720p encoded with DVD Catalyst on my Xoom.
[Xoom General] Bigmille:
The Samsung 10.1 tab have about same weight as the ipad2, so will be a bit lighter than the Xoom, not sure if this will affect battery life.

The biggest advantage of the 10.1 tab I think will be a better screen than the Xoom. I’m happy with the quality and viewing angle of my Xoom. However, when compared to my 7” Galaxy tab and friend's ipad, the Xoom’s screen looks dull and not as bright.

All depend on how long you want to wait for the 10.1 Galaxy tab.

Also the Galaxy tab 8.9 (470g) is almost light as the 7" Galaxy tab (380g), that might be a good 2nd tablet.

[Xoom General] martonikaj:
From the specs we saw on the GT 10.1v (the older model) the battery size will be the same or slightly bigger than the Xoom.

FWIW. I'm growing a bit tired of the size/weight of the Xoom. The 8.9 (or other similar sized/weighted tablets) might be up my alley. The Xoom is just too clumsy and heavy for extended 1 handed use (not to mention that the UI is not very landscape 1-hand friendly). I'll take a device that is made out of plastic as long as its light and well built for the components.
[Xoom General] jvs60:
I think they mentioned that the touch wiz ux is just a set of widgets and not fully integrated into the system
[Xoom General] Xevilious:
That Tab 10.1 is a sexy looking device. Tough decision. It might be worth going with the 10.1 just to get the better screen, though IIRC, it doesn't have a SDcard slot (not that it's doing us Xoom owners much good right now).

That said, I think physical storage capacity is almost irrelevant anymore. I have both Amazon cloud for my music and Google cloud for pictures and docs. The only storage I actually need is for apps, and they're generally small.
[Xoom General] jvs60:
The slim Samsung 10.1 has a microsd slot. It's the 10.1V that doesn't
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
I think you're right. Can't remember, but I feel like the 8.9 didn't have a SDcard slot though. Could be wrong.
[Xoom General] jjank11:
The new samsung galaxy 10.1 should be a nice tablet and should not come with anything but pure honeycomb with some added apps/Widgets.

Other tablets to consider, besides the ipad2 or new Samsung 10.1:

Asus transformer, which will be short on stock and hard to come by for the next few months or so. It has a nice pricepoint and some nice accessories.

Nook color, just updated to basically be a pseudo tablet but has alot of Dev/rom support so is pretty much full blow android experience.

HTC flyer, will have some very awesome features especially very accurate integration with stylus, not using honeycomb experience but should be upgraded to honeycomb soon after release.

Playbook, nice tablet but is kind of hampered at the moment and is meant more for business user in my opinion.

Toshiba 10.1 inch tablet rumored to be Google's baby and if true should get great honeycomb support. This will be THE tablet if all the rumors are true (do a Google search for nexus tablet or nexus t). We should find out at Google I/o on may 10th or 11th.

Honestly I would go with the xoom or the Toshiba tablet. I would certainly wait till Google I/o to make a decision since the xoom should have some updates coming down the pipe as well.
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
I for one will keep my Xoom and upgrade a year or 2 down the road (I'll give it to my wife or something) to the latest octuple core processor 1mm thick 10" tablet capable of playing 4K video flawlessly. Then I will laugh at all of you with your old samsung 10.1's! bwahahaha

[Xoom General] BlackDino:

I am expecting a lot from Google this year in io, they have been way too quite about honeycomb
[Xoom General] atoy74:
The Galaxy Tab 10.1's greatest attribute is how thin and light it is. Touchwiz will hinder you if you wanted to stay current with Honeycomb's latest n greatest versions.

All depends on whats important to you or your wife...whomever is going to use it.

[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
Get what you want and if you don't like it swap it with your wife's Xoom.
[Xoom General] chbennett:
I myself am skeptical on the touchwiz factor on the samsung 10.1, which can only end badly if true. As for the xoom, I nave no complaints, and at the rate that technology is progressing, buying a xoom now will put you in position to last until you would buy a new device anyways with a top of the line tablet, and when the next generation of devices come out, like a quad core tablet, then you are in position to repeat.

Sent from my Xoom the way it should be, rooted and with SD card.
[Xoom General] vamp6x6x6x:
I am planning to try to keep my Xoom for 2 years at least before I get a new Tablet
[Xoom General] CSGirl:
I'm thinking about getting the 8.9 tab. The 10.1 doesn't really have enough different that I care, but my only real problem with my Xoom is I just don't really care for the dimensions. I like the form factor of the 8.9 better, I think (I'd like to actually try it first). I personally like to use profile view, and it's tall enough I always fell like it's going to flip over and hit me in the face. ;) I also am really interested in weight factor- the weight of the Xoom is far from a deal breaker for me, but the idea of a tab that's almost 50% less is very appealing.

I know everyone hates skinned UIs :) but really, if they're giving me resizable widgets, I'm in. One of the pics I saw had a nice simple built-in note taking app (as in, with a stylus), which is cool too.
[Xoom General] mr_wrong_0:
I say do it. The more devices that you can collect the better. You will learn a lot about a different dev community and increase your general proficiency with android mods.
[Xoom General] spinQ:
As I have a galaxy tab 7" and a xoom, I have to tell you that my galaxy tab satisfy me better than my xoom. My wife has a galaxy tab 7" as well and is very satisfied too. Indeed the 7" can play mkv , the xoom still can't... The 7" is always with me and the xoom stay at home. Everybody always complain about the lake of updates but everything works pretty well on the galaxy. So my point is the xoom has maybe a great hardware but the software part sucks. What is the point of a hdmi outpout if i can't play movies. So you should try samsung. But does your wife really wants a tab or do you only need a reason to buy another one for yourself ;-). Because in this case the god answer is not the same. 7" are great for wifes and 10" are great for geek.
[Xoom General] CSGirl:
Can we not be both a wife and a geek? :p If my husband got a tablet it'd be an iPad, he's a musician and there are apps that Android just doesn't have in that regard. If I get a tab I'll likely sell my Xoom (and based on ebay shouldn't be too difficult either).

7" just isn't worth it for me, and I'm not crazy about 10.1, so I'm pretty happy about the. TBH, I *really* want an Android tab with the exact same form factor as an iPad, but I'm not seeing any on the horizon.
[Xoom General] spinQ:
Of course you can ! I just wanted to say that maybe his needs and her needs may be differents. In this case the best way is to ask his wife what she really expects from the tab.

I bought a 7" for my wife because what she really needed was an ebook reader that fit her purse, the galaxy tab was quite good for that. The galaxy tab is great for websurfing and collecting mail as well.

The choice of the size of the screen definitively depends each people needs.

As for choosing between motorola and samsung. I think samsung is better choice for a standart use (If you don't care about specials rom). Just my point.
[Xoom General] CSGirl:
Just kidding dont worry. :D I do love the 7" screen on my Nook (not color, I *need* e-ink for reading!) so it is good for that.

Sounds like there's no release date yet for the 3G galaxy tabs anyway, correct, just the Wifi? I'm definitely not downgrading from 3G now that I have it, I'm way too dependent on it. Why yes, I do need to watch Hulu while I'm waiting at the drycleaners. :p
[Atrix 4G General] DJeneral2:
All,

I've read several instances and/or rumors of bandwidth capping with the 1.8.3 update. I even had the experience of losing my network data altogether until I figured out why.

As such I thought it may be helpful to start a thread for those on 1.8.3 that can provide: 1) radio version; 2) APN settings; and 3) download / upload speeds (on average). You can get the radio version via Settings >> About phone >> "Baseband version"; APN settings via Settings >> Wireless & networks >> Mobile networks >> Access point names; download / upload speeds via the speedtest.net application.

My information is as follows:

Baseband version: N_01.77.15P

The speedtest.net app has given me speeds all over the board. As high as 4.58Mpbs down and 1.58Mpbs up and others with just .2-.3Mbps up like before the update. Do I need to make some changes here?
[Atrix 4G General] Chubby_Skunk:
Same and I never lose data and the speeds in Seattle are about 4.6 mbps DOWN and 1.x mbps UP.
[Atrix 4G General] k4zyn:
I'm not sure I understand......but showing speeds isn't going to do much in the way of giving us a feel on what is going on. What I mean is download and upload speeds can vary by a very large standard, because it all depends on how many bars, what servers you're hitting, how many people are also using that node, etc.
[Atrix 4G General] players_inc17:
Of course their different. You guys are looking at two different apn. The first person apn settings are from the regular att network setting. And the second person apn is from the att us hspda setting. And the speeds may be different because you need to have the 4g internet data plan on ur account in order in have the att us hspda apn.
[Atrix 4G General] DJeneral2:
I had no APN after SBFing, factory resetting, etc. so I had to make up an APN based on what I had seen in some places. I'll try the other APN in the thread and see if it makes a difference (better or worse).

Point of the thread really was to assess whether there was consistent limiting going on and if people suddenly lost data connectivity (as I did) they could fix via created one of these APNs.
[Atrix 4G General] hotleadsingerguy:
No you absolutely don't lol it's a misconception.
[Atrix 4G General] goscrewsir:
Well... Technically an hspa plan shouldn't be needed, but since it's an At&t requirement, it absolutely is required. They can cap service capabilities anywhere they please, really.

I was having trouble with my, WiFi Tether 3.0-pre11 app as well. It will allow my Window 7 laptop to connect without any issues but my iPad (1st gen) would not connect for some reason.

I searched the forums and found some people were having trouble with the WiFi Tether app and they suggested to try Barnicle WiFi Tether. It is a free app in the Android market place but it requires root access on your phone (Duh).

After installing and running Barnicle WiFi Tether I had no problems connecting my iPad. It may help in your situation as well.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UncleXNL:
Same here

Hi,

I had the Samsung Galaxy Y pro GT-B5510 random reboot problem. I'm a PhD CompSci very comfortable with flasing roms etc.

I tried everyting I could think of and I mean everyting a PhD CompSci could think of.

The last thing I tried:

With clockworkmod, I tested all my keys. (My Phone has physical keyboard) and all keys where OK!

Then I tried the clear dalvik cache and fix permissions.

It did not work, 2 minutes later a random reboot. aaaahgggg

Confident that not the SD card or firmware is the cause of this problem, I knew my Phone had a defect.

So I took my Phone, and I know this is not a scientific method. But a method that seems to work on electronics from time to time.

SOLUTION:

-With my knuckles, I bashed the backside of my Phone a few times, pretty hard I might add, NEVER be too gentle with electronics!

Now my pone has not rebooted a single time for over 18 Hrs. and still going strong! And it is so fast with Next Launcher! Amazing! That is one amazing launcher!! I cracked it, and I won't tell how, but you should buy this launcher, and I will as soon there is a payment method that works for me on the Android market. The memory management of this launcher is the best in the world!!

If this problem ever returns, I will try the bashing method first, could save me days of work.... LOL

And this is actually a very good method, it works on TV's on Radio's, it works on Android Phone's randomly rebooting, and most other electronics. It is reported to help on airplane, space shuttle, helicopter and warp drive engine control panels lol. ect. ect.

Really;

Just try this method, if you are going desperate! I have so many good experiences with this method, you can't deny it works often!!

Sometimes I think it is just a flipflop hanging, and the shock might shake it lose. So this method is actually more scientific then you think. <-- Physical shocks are known to fix electronics and chips sometimes!

So bash your Phone good and see if your problem is solved! Do not damage the Phone, just a few good hard knocks!

A few pretty hard knuckle bashes on the back of you Phone, won't damage it. It is fast, so it is worth a try! And that goes for all electronics with mysterious problems...

I am sooooo happy my Phone does not reboot anymore. You have no Idea! I don't care I had to bash it a little, IT WORKS like a charm!!

All my education..... and the method that works is simple bashing... How Ironic.

It is still running, if I do not post or modify this, I still have not got the random reboot problem back!

Trust me bashing now confirmd; Might solve random Android reboots! You have a good chance it will work!

whoooooo so happy now!!!

Just for fun, if this method fixed your problem don't forget to reply here, and thank me, I'm curious just how good a method bashing is!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mchimney:
Hey all,

I used to own a xoom back when it was first released. I kept it for about 14 days and decided to return it due to honeycomb being generally slow and having almost no apps. But i did love honeycomb as an os.

Now i just noticed this transformer tablet, it seems like it has almost identical specs to the xoom but from the videos it appears to run MUCH faster. It looks like there is no homescreen lag and when you push a button, something happens.

Anyone who had both the xoom and this tab able to confirm?

Another issue on the xoom was we had to convert most, if not all, of our movies to some specific format because the xoom wouldn't natively play them. Is this issue still prevalent?

Would you guys reccomend this tab?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
I got the Xoom 3G when it first came out and returned it after a couple weeks. Then more recently I bought a Xoom Wifi, ended up returning that too. Now have the Transformer.

I'd say the performance feels the same between the Xoom and the Transformer. Scrolling through screens is okay, tiny bit of lag. And probably the only reason I notice it is because I'm coming from an iPad.

Application crashes have gotten better. The first Xoom 3G I owned had way too many application crashes for my taste. The browser would crash multiple times a day, the Market and YouTube apps would crash at least once a day. And installing apps from Market would get wonky about 50% of the time.

However with the more recent Xoom wifi and Transformer I notice stability has improved a lot. Particularly the browser that caused me the most trouble has now not crashed once on either Xoom wifi or Transformer. YouTube and the Market have crashed a couple times, but it's now a less frequent issue. The Market also still sometimes goes wonky while installing an app, but it went from 50% of the time down to maybe 5-10% of the time now.

So to me it feels like the software experience on the Xoom and Transformer is very similar in stability and performance. I just think Honeycomb has had a couple months to mature now and so feels a bit better compared to when the Xoom first came out.

PS. Forgot to answer the video converting question. That is still an issue. I have a hard time playing most of my video files on the Transformer. I installed Rock Player, YXPlayer, ArcMedia, Mobo Player, and vPlayer, and some of these do better than others at playing certain files. But I still get a lot of jerkiness, not supported, or out of sync voices. So I just need to Handbrake videos first.
