Look around the forums. These problems have been solved.

Sent from my Xoom the way it should be, rooted and with SD card.
[Xoom General] Wiggz:
Apologies up front but - Absolute rubbish!. The problems have not been solved at all. They have simply been worked around.

As far as I know the SD-Card requires a completed non-stock kernel, root and some adb pushing!
[Xoom General] kennych:
Exactly. The issues with the stock/standard Xoom are far from "solved."

I want my SD Card to work.
[Xoom General] JayBomb999:
I agree that MTP is pretty unreliable on Linux at the moment. Also, I can see how MTP would be an improvement for the Windows using masses. It just isn't for me. One of the things I love(d) about Android is it's simple compatibility with with my operating system of choice.

Allow me to get back to the topic of this thread: "What Android 3.1 DIDN'T Fix". I can confirm that the laggy, low framerates are still present when using the Xoom in any orientation other than the default/normal landscape position (Camera up, HDMI down).

Romain Guy suggested in one of his Google IO talks that they are aware of this issue an that it might be fixed in 3.1. Well, it's not. :-/
[Xoom General] stevebakh:
I don't mean to start a massive argument or anything, but in this instance, you're wrong. It is an open protocol, sure, but it's not cross platform. The distinction needs to be made.

I could list a ton of free, useful and open protocols that aren't cross-platform because they haven't been implemented (fully, or at all) on all three major systems (osx, windows & linux).

As I already pointed out, I clearly understand Google's reasons for switching to MTP, but I don't think they should be claiming that it's a cross platform solution. I could cheat the system and zip my files, or rename the file extension, but I shouldn't be required to. At the moment, MTP simply isn't cross-platform and I can't really use it get my files on the XOOM without having to jump through hoops. When/if it ever works properly and the user experience is shared across the three major platforms, then we can call it cross-platform.

So I've just flashed CM7.0.3 I hate how it says

I tried making my own icons where it says E/H/H+ but no luck. Anyone know how to do this?

[HTC Inspire 4G] churro7:
Or is that different?

I am reaching 400kb/s is hspa+ faster?

sent from planet snarf
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
its pretty much the same thing wtih different speeds. as far as you're concerned, it's the same thing when it comes to what your phone tells you (as long as you're provisioned for 4g with att). chances are the market that you're in (if it's a city or outside a major city) will have 4g (HSPA+), but it may or may not have the backhaul to support higher speeds. backhaul is pretty much just fiber optic cables to the towers in your areas that allow your upload and download rates to get to "4g speeds".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Speed_Packet_Access
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
3G - UMTS

3.5G - HSDPA/HSDup (sometimes referred to as HSUPA)

4G - HSPA+

3 different networks, providing different speeds. However, I think that even when connected to HSPA+ you will only see download increases, you will still be using HSDup.
[HTC Inspire 4G] churro7:
will umts show up as H+ still in the upper ICON?
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
No - UMTS should show 3G. However different ROMs will display different icons when connected to differnet networks. Don't rely on the icon. You can check which network you're connected to by going to settings - about phone - network (or status) and see what network you're actually connected to

Except in stock roms or roms built from the stock rom where the chef hasn't changed the icon. Stock roms will show H+ when connected to umts. Marketing ploy. F you, ATT
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
HSPA+ is NOT 4g. LTE is 4g, even though it technically isn't. HSPA+ is jsut a software upgrade to HSPA. the only reason they needed to do the backhaul upgrades were to be able to handle the increased bandwidth.

I have installed the CM7 rom on my lg p500 however the issue I find is that the FM radio is unberably quiet.

How can I fix this?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] muleman:
so yeah i got my first replacement after the first time this happened... i tried flashing krylon360's rom with odin but got a fail at factory.rfs. keep in mind i am in no way shape or form a noob with odin, i have brought many of my buddies' devices back to life, but for some reason even though i use a USB jig ( which works in my captivate and personally tested and working on the SGS4g before the unrecoverable soft brick) any help please i dont want to have to send it back to t-mobile again... they already charge 10bucks just for shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
Hmm I'd say if the USB jig didn't work, you're not soft bricked. That's a hard brick.

What kind of USB jig are you using?

Was it a ROM or a kernel you flashed? which one, version etc.?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] muleman:
Jig - verified WORKING before the flash attempt

tried to flash [ROM-ODIN]T959VUVKB5 Stock + Root By: krylon360

new sgs4g

new USB cable

opened Odin first, set file

plugged in phone got a good port connection

clicked "Start"

failed at factory.rfs

phone--!--comp screen

unresponsive to JIG
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] muleman:
donation rewards for anybody that can help! lol this is depressing, my old captivate isnt this sensitive and has been through hell and back, but this SGS4g.... im dissappointed in.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] arrow123:
Uninstall all the drivers for the phone make sure you have the right ones also, and try plugging it into a usb 2.0 slot then run it again, this seemed to work for me. I ran into the same issue I plugged in my jig but it gave me a black screen, but odin recognized it and I flashedthe kd1 update and it was fixed. Hope this helps
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
hold your horses... I got some news for you.

you can flash at that screen :P

try flashing mine again, or try white's ODIN image.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
Along with what krylon said, maybe a bad download, try download file again
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] muleman:
will do thanks guys, ill try it tonight and let ya know how it goes for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] muleman:
i still dont get how odin gets a connection but the phone itself cannot with the jig... not logical but hey in the process of flashing now
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] muleman:
youre the man.... Thanks much
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sgyee:
Heimdall works at that same warning screen too. I've done it on my SGS4G.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] amishraa:
I am confused..

If the computer is not recognizing the phone being plugged in, how is ODIN going to be able to process? I don't know if mine SGS4G is irrepairable but when I plug it in to the computer, it will not even show up on device manager. The drivers have been installed in the past and I have used ODIN before.

When I try using ODIN now it won't work since it won't recognize the phone.

I have used JIG and simply will not buzz. It's pretty much as dead as if the phone is not even on.

Any help guys??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] regretz:
If its currently in the state which I'm assuming..

-won't turn on, no sign of life period...

-plugging it in the wall charger won't even show the green battery status...

-won't get recognized when plugged into pc (or odin)...

-all combinations of buttons and battery pulling+usb cable plugging does nothing...

Yea I think its safe to say it went to a land far far away just like my friend's phone and only Samsung can revive it now.. Because I remember reading all the stories how everyone brought theres back to life so easily with the button combos or the jig usage, but those phones all at least showed a sign of life with that cable screen. But if its pitch black like I'm assuming then...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nazcalito:
Same here. The jig didn't seem to work - I still got the cell + comp but odin worked anyway and reflashed stock. It's probably better to run Odin off a desktop if you have one. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jay Aristide:
That screen scared the holy hell out of me a couple of days ago. I ended up having to re-install the samsung drivers for windows 7 and then odin picked the phone right up. The reason I *knew* the phone was recoverable from that screen was simple, though:

I read the screen. It wouldn't be telling you to try something in Kies if you couldn't do anything at that screen. So, I just kept ****ing around trying different things until it worked.

*I* have personally noticed that that screen tends to come up when you accidentally or inadvertently select "Re-Partition" on a rom/image that's not setup for it, or if for any reason your phone gets disconnected or powered off during the flashing process.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fvnktion:
I second this. I have been running into this screen while trying to install root from the 2.3.4 leak. I have had black screen, fuzzy screen, random pixel screen. In most cases I have been able recognize the phone using odin. A few of the key steps that I have used to get the phone recognizable in odin are:

1. If the computer says "usb not recognized" when initially plugging in the phone, uplug it and plug it back in. Most of the time when I do this the phone is recognized as samsung device.

1b: If odin now recognizes the phone after running through step 1 I will try to flash the files again. it will usually fail after trying to load the flash files on the first try. I have to mess around with this process a few times and I can usually get a successful flash.

2. I had an case when having to deal with this problem yesterday. I was running through steps 1,1b and not having success. Odin was hanging, (I forget which step). I let it sit for about 10 minutes and was still hanging. I unplugged the phone with odin still hanging pulled battery, powered on, plugged back in. Odin, which was still open and still trying to connect, continued its already started process after plugging it back in!!! This was an accident to still have the odin running and trying to connect, but after reconnecting the phone it successfully flashed!

These kind of observations are especially helpful! I can concur that I get the same <phone..!..pc> error, when odin tries to flash and gets a write fail, however, I do not have the "re-partition" option set. I then have to run through my previously mentioned steps to try to get a successful flash.

My question is what can i do to keep odin from failing to write when flashing?? I have only been using PDA packages, with the exception of using discrete packages (pit,csc,phone,pda) when loading the 2.3.4 rom leak.

It seems like the flashing write error in odin in causing the <phone..!..pc> error quite often with different flash processes. Does anyone have a solution to what might be causing this write error and what can be done to prevent this whole cycle? If so I sticky or new thread might be useful for other users. It has caused to have to warranty my first phone, urrrg!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Scariest feeling ever........ Not seeing your phone come up on Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Light-라이트:
Woops ahahahha. Was talkin to my friend. SOrry!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Rebel_X:
I had the same issue yesterday, when I tried to flash KD1 vanilla (stock) ROM

using ODIN, it failed the first 4 seconds, it boots into fuzzy looking screen and

that's it, every time I tried to boot it the fuzzy screen fades away to pitch black.

there is 2 possibilities that messed up the whole thing for me:

1) Bad ROM.. (i.e, can't be used with ODIN) although some members said it works

but don't know if there anything special to do before hand, if I want to downgrade.

2) Samsung Kies' fault, I installed just right before I used ODIN, and told me my

device is not registered.. hmm.

It could be both cases, but I suspect Kies the culprit, I had to uninstall it, and

uninstall the drivers came with it, installed the drivers found here in these forums,

and Odin recognized a COM port, although black screen on the phone, flashed

to KH1 and I am back to business. phew..

GB is awesome, but I can't stand the weak WIFI issue even with the latest KH1

I have to stand 3 feet away from my router to get a solid signal, with froyo

vanilla rom, I was able to connect like 50 feet away. but that's another problem

not for this thread.

Heh funny thing I read today in some thread, there is a conflict between Kies and

Odin after the incident happened. my fault for not reading a lot, jumping the gun

almost cost me the phone :/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hcn:
Hello,

I know that this device does not have native support for bluetooth, but since android is a "modified" linux, there must be a way to add BT to the system.

Does anyone know how to do that? Or if someone already did?

Hello all,

I have been reading through a lot of threads trying to research over and over and figure out my issue. I am running the Huawei Ascend M860 with CM7 and can not get the swype beta to open correctly. Everytime it force closes and can not get it to work. Tried to reboot and tried to format sd card and still nothing so I am lost as to how to get this to work, I really enjoy the swype on the phone and I am trying to figure out how to get it correctly working. Being as I cant pull it from my old rom without going through everything again I imagine. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 93grandcherokee:
I actually tried some other keyboards like SlideIT, ultra keyboard, better keyboard 8 and Gokeyboard and all of them give me the force close when I actually try to use them. Any help on this issue so I can change from the stock keyboard to swype would be helpful. Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] antdizzo:
Make sure you have swype and the swype installer deleted off your phone and reformists the installer then swype. If that doesn't work, try a COMPLETE wipe
[Xoom General] Sergeantfour:
I got the invite to the Music Beta sent to my Xoom-attached email address that I didn't request an invite from. Looks like the Xoom people are auto-invited...I'm uploading as I type. Anyone else?
[Xoom General] Slimgym20:
I haven't gotten anything yet. But I signed up for the beta today. Does it give you an option to invite people?
[Xoom General] inspiron41:
Nothing yet either
[Xoom General] marctronixx:
i got it and uploaded close to 500 songs. this could be because i originally had the 3G launch day xoom but just sold it to get the wifi version.. anyway, i got it..
[Xoom General] cypherx82:
Nothing here, and I bought my 3G Xoom three days after launch.
[Xoom General] Sergeantfour:
I looked and couldn't find an invite option. Sorry!
[Xoom General] erzhik:
Still didn't receive anything, but I also signed up just in case.
[Xoom General] futuregerald:
I bought the nexus one on release date, I'm a paid picasa user, gmail user, google voice user, gtalk user, google docs user, google bookmarks user, xoom user, I signed up as soon as they said the site was live during the keynote and I still haven't received an invite =\
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
This for me too. I've got 80Gb right now of paid Google storage, still haven't got mine. :(
[Xoom General] pecosROB:
Sounds about par for the course.

Xoom user (I think I got it within a week or two of launch), gmail, picasa, 80 gb storage user, docs... you'd think they would hook someone up who already pays for ****! :p

But seriously, I wanna hurry up and start uploading!
[Xoom General] rudemood:
No invites here. No 3.1 update yet.

I'm a launch day 3G Xoom user too.

:(
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
If they ever lift the limit of 20,000 - I'll have to up my subscription to 100+ gigs

You didn't link it with a Google account?

If you did, you'll receive the email in the Gmail of that account.
[Xoom General] sierraspree:
Received GoogMusic invite to the wrong gmail account :(

I have my main email address that I've activated 3 Android phones on as well as my 3G Xoom on launch day. I have an alternate gmail account added to both my current Android phone and Xoom.

Yesterday I requested the Google Music invite from my main email address, haven't heard back yet.

Today I got a an email to my alternate email account titled "Motorola XOOM now supports Music Beta by Google". I can't find a way to activate it on my main email account. I don't know why they have my alternate email address listed as my Xoom address.

The email invite comes from "noreply-music@google.com" so I can't find a way to ask them to change it :confused:
[Xoom General] ml3000:
Have you tried to see if it works with the alternate address? That same thing happened to me but i received the invite but nothing works. Just goes back to you have already requested a invite.
[Xoom General] eloist:
I firmly believe that Google picks invites on a completely random basis.

That being said, I'm hopeful but not optimistic I'll get a Google Music invite, and I'm still waiting not very patiently for my 3.1 update.

I bought my Xoom 3G prolly 2 weeks after launch. but I seriously dont think when you bought the thing matters at all to Google.
[Xoom General] ScottC:
+1

All this bragging about how soon you got your Xoom, how much storage you have with them and how important you are means nothing to Google.
[Xoom General] agentpower:
It does a bit... because they are only giving the beta to Xoom users... So it matters to them that you bought the First Android Tablet.

I got the music beta invite, but still not 3.1 update :(
[Xoom General] Sergeantfour:
That's what happened to me. I uploaded some stuff anyway on the account I don't use as much. It's pretty neat, but I'm dying to see what it does to my batteries.
[Xoom General] dubsjw27:
Just got the invite to a google apps account which is in no way tied to my xoom. Also not the address I used to sign up for google music. Debunks the priority theory. The whole update/rollout process is a major fail in my mind.
[Xoom General] crackmulah:
i signed up under 30 seconds after the website launched . i knew it would be launching at noon my time so i kept refreshing :). I also bought the N1 and the XoomWifi ON THEIR RELEASE DATES!!!!!!!!! come on google, hook a brotha up with what he deserves. all these kids as well. lets get it rollin
[Xoom General] ggareis:
Got mine today. I'm uploading songs right now. This is going to take awhile.
[Xoom General] hunteradh:
Just got an invite because I have a Xoom. But for some reason it was sent to my Google Apps account and when I try to login I just get the "you have already requested an invite to music beta". Not sure why it didn't go to my personal gmail?
[Xoom General] steveliv:
The exact same thing is happening to me too. The email lists my google apps email address but my xoom is linked with my gmail account.
[Xoom General] hunteradh:
Got mine working!!!!

Problem:

Basically this is what was wrong in my situation. My google apps account was created before they allowed all of google services.(Analytics, youtube, etc..) This was a straight (gmail,docs, calendars, etc..) google apps account. A while ago, I signed up for a new account with analytics and used my google apps account email. This created a problem when they started to migrate the old skool google apps accounts to the new google apps accounts with all services. They are basically two separate accounts and can't be combined yet(google is working on it)

The Fix:

Login to your google account. Basically go to analytics or whatever service you use that is not connected to your google apps account.

Then you can click "my account" or something in the top left. This takes you to your account overview.

There is a "change email" link on this page and you can then associate this account with a non-google email.

Now contact your google apps domain admin(in my case it was me) and try and migrate your account from the admin dashboard.

(not sure if this is required because it failed for me *it fails because it still detects my other conflicting acct - might be because i did it so soon after changing my email in the last step)

Then I went back to my email and clicked the invite link and VOILA!!!! I was in.

Good luck!
[Xoom General] packruler:
Ok so should I be worried if I have yet to receive my invite.

[Xoom General] sangreal06:
Just got one. Specifically mentions the xoom...

Unfortunately it is for my work account which I did NOT sign up for the beta with. I know some other guys in this thread had this happen... Did anyone receive a second invite for their other accounts tied to the xoom?
[Xoom General] pecosROB:
Still waiting for my invite even though I've got the 3.1 update while out of town last weekend.

This music beta to me is actually more important than 3.1... oh well.
[Xoom General] intangibleDroid:
Received an invite to my work account as well. Seems to be intentional.

Maybe they're guessing you'd upload less pirated music if it's tied to your company's account?
[Xoom General] inrelief:
So, has anybody figured out why invites are going to secondary email addresses?
[Xoom General] cobraextreme:
Got one at my work account, as well, and like you guys I requested an invite for my personal account. Some people on another forum suggested using the contact form in Google Music help, so I did that. I'll post again if they respond or can do anything for me, but something tells me that they'll open the service up for everyone long before I ever get any response from the contact form.
