[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K-SHOX:
It uses less power but I don't find it's needed really.

I use about 4 hours of screen time, over an hour of calls, over 100 texts, half an hour of web browsing, angry birds, a bit of music, stream 20 mins or so of video online and have a live wallpaper running all day and I still make it to about 30 hours.

When a pixel is black on a SAMOLED display, it has essentially been turned off and there is no power consumption from it.

Maybe I will try it out though and see if I can push for 48 hours lol, I just really love how the colour pops on this screen so I can't imagine myself using black backgrounds much.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muxoman:
I just bought an Atrix to replace my Galaxy S and I have properly paired and coonected it to my Alpine KCE-400BT. Calls and A2DP work fine once connected. However, each time I get in the car I must reconnect the phone to the stereo which also requires me to input the pin as well. I always leave the bluetooth running on the phone and in the past with my Galaxy S I never had this issue. The phone would reconnect each time I got in and started the car. Anyone have any similar issue. It's a real pain to have to reconnect it and input the pin each time.

Thanks!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
first off you need to upgrade the radio to 2.15.50.14, do a task29 then flash MGLDR, then find the proper partition for Clockwork mod and flash that, and find a rom that has ongoing support by the dev, and flash that thru CWM, I was an Energy follower when I was in winmo, but NRG is too busy with winmo to keep his desire hd rom up to date, I honestly would recommend Pongster HyperDroid Gingerbread .

If i had to hazard a guess what you are seeing is a common bit of malware that tries to trick you into downloading even more harmful content. You get a message telling you that you are infected and should run a scan using their software..which inevitably entails you entering your credit card info....

As above, Malwarebytes should find it if you can get it on your PC in the first place. My friend had this recently and i removed it manually. I can't remember the name of it now though. Just Google the exact message that pops up and you'll soon see what it is.

For future reference, always be aware of the normal processes that you find running in your task manager. It makes it a lot easier to see when something is running that is new or out of place. Ending that process will usually allow you to regain control of your PC.

2. Aim at your keyboard

3.chop it with the axe

4. Take a close look at the screen

5. Smash it with the axes handle

6. Check the pc tower

8. Cut everything you see in there with the axe into small pieces

9. Take the pieces out , put them in a pile on the floor and start smashing them with your feet

10. Congratulations, your pc is now virus free!!

11. If you see any fan still spinning , take the axe... You know what to do next.....:D:D:D

Hi. I was on #xoom at freenode earlier and I got some help, but unfortunately no solution. (thank you Kas, EbonyGhost, Pyrator and the others)

I flashed the recovery here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074979

I flashed... THE ZIP!!

The flash went well, then the device rebooted and showed "Starting RSD mode 3"

I have only 2 screens:

- with VolUp + power = dual core techno + "Starting RSD mode 3"

- with VolUp + power then immediately VolDown = only the dual core tech logo, no text

Either way: no adb, no fastboot. Tried other usb slots. Tried reinstalling moto drivers.

The xoom never gets recognised by windows. I don't have the dongdong sound when I plug it, in either mode.

I already tried this:

but I get < waiting for device > because it's not recognised by windows...

Any other idea?

Thanks

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadomastr:
I have this exact problem.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbroeders:
So, when you power up the device, you press 'vol-down' when you see the Motorola logo? Because that should put you into fastboot mode. Don't use the power+vol-up, only turn on device and press vol-down when you see the logo. I've been in the same situation, but was able to get fastboot working like this...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtymindedx:
if you hold the volume down button and power on the device and get no fastboot then you may as well just send it to motorola. looks like this is becoming a problem and cannot be fixed.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ydaraishy:
This. Flashing the wrong partition should *not* mean that you can't get into fastboot any more.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topper Harley:
I know that volume down should get me to fastboot but in fact it doesn't. Windows never makes dong dong when i plug the xoom... My drivers are ok because my nexus one gets recognized instantly and adb is working fine on the phone...

Any reason you don't use RSD to flash the wifi xoom sbf file? (I'm pretty sure someone said that was released not too long ago)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topper Harley:
I didn't try yet, I can't find the SBF for the wifi xoom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topper Harley:
I tried the 3G SBF file it's not even working. I know it's not the right file for my device but since it's already bricked...

I have RSD Lite 4.9, latest moto drivers, updated using the moto tool.

When I load the sbf file in rsd lite, I can't see the device, and pushing start has no effect.

I did that when the device was showing "Starting RSD mode 3"

How can I get it back?! I tried on my windows laptop and also on a macbook, without any luck.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenDev:
This is happened to me , and i flipped cuz i rendered my $600 Xoom to a paper weight , i rebooted (Volup+power then voldown) , i tried ADB and it didn't work... then i left my computer to do something, i returned to my PC and i was flipping through DOS command lines (up and down arrows) and click enter in one of the commands by mistake and it worked! the command was "fastboot erase cache"

i then typed the following to return to stock (you need the stock files)

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topper Harley:
Thanks, but I don't have fastboot. It's always < waiting for device >
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ydaraishy:
You mentioned you tried the steps in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=973355, but how did this section go:

"Even though there was no response from the device, I pressed Vol Down + power until the screen went black. I then quickly pressed and held Vol Up + power. The device then went into the bootloader, received the queued command from fastboot, and flashed the boot.img."

ed. The other suggestion I heard floating around is to flash the CDMA Xoom's SBF -- yes, it won't get you all the way there, but it might restore things up to the point where you can get into fastboot and then flash the stock images.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topper Harley:
I did try already to fastboot flash boot boot.img (stock), then reboot pushing vol up, vol down, both, using clicking or holding them... no luck

I also tried to flash the VZW SBF file but RSD Lite doesn't even see the device. I'm trying now to get some linux running and use sbf_flash instead because I was told that it's more efficient than the linux one.

No luck yet on that part either.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoopsdavis:
I was able to get my xoom restore with the following steps:

Hold Power + Vol up to start reboot

immdiately hold Power + Vol down (This will get you to the Fastboot menu)

enter the commands

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache

You've now successfully flashed your Xoom back to stock. Now it's time to relock the device.

Type fastboot oem lock, wait for the menu, the press the volume-down button. Then press the volume up button. It'll take a minute or so, then reboot. You're now completely back to stock and ready for the update.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topper Harley:
It stops here. I can't get fastboot.

I tried waiting for the battery to die and tried every combination of vol up/down/power, hold/click/double click the buttons...

I'll let it cool off for one day without battery... maybe it'll wake up wanting to give me fastboot...

I'm losing hope...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentbrooks:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benso87:
I'm in this exact situation, and I've tried everything suggested here. I spent some time in IRC talking to a few developers, and we tried pretty much everything to get fastboot to work. No luck, so I tried RSD like you said, and that didn't work, either. Eventually we gave up, and I got an RMA from Motorola via their website. I should receive the FedEx box tomorrow so I can return it to them.

If you want, I'll report back here when the whole process is over and tell you if they end up fixing it for free or not. It sounds like it'll probably be at least a week, though.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topper Harley:
benso87: yes, tell me. I have time don't worry (away from home until may 28th)

Otherwise, I think mine is definitely a brick. I tried the last thing I didn't: boot linux and test sbf_flash: not working.

I'll try to send it to moto (the device is imported).

I'm kinda sad... not for the money, but for the bad command that completely destroys a device in seconds... and right, for the money aswell...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benso87:
Small update: I got the box yesterday and sent it back, then got an email this morning saying Motorola received it. Hopefully the whole process will go this fast. :p

They gave me a tracking number and a site to check to see how things are going, so that's more info than I was expecting. They haven't asked any questions yet, so that's also good.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topper Harley:
Good news!

I contacted the company I bought it from (which imported it, it was not available in France at that time), they said I should send it back to them so they can send it to moto.

Hopefully it'll be quick! I'll be back home from my business trip on may 28th so I guess it'll be about one month without my xoom!!!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koya25:
Cool!!!! Thank you! You actually gave me hope!!!!! Now I think I am less worried about sending it back....

What did you have to say to them when you sent it back? Did they ask how you bricked it??? Also, was yours unlocked? Mine wasn't even rooted yet, just unlocked moments before the brick!!!

Thanks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benso87:
Mine was unlocked, rooted, and about everything else. Motorola didn't ask me any questions at all. I just filled out the form on their site and said it wouldn't turn on, then they sent me the box to ship it in. It was a pretty smooth process, really.
