[Droid X Accessories] scottder:
Are there any known cases that fit with this battery in place?

Scott
[Droid X Accessories] TheBookheimer:
Where did you find a battery that big for the X because that is awesome. Getting back to your question I think you might have to custom make one.
[Droid X Accessories] Skelente:
Even though this is dated( :eek: ), I thought I'd throw this out there for anyone else interested, the Trident Electra will fit an extended battery (and most kits will actually come with an included battery.) I've got one for my droid x2 and while the case is quite thick (about 2x thickness of a normal Dx/dx2) it is a BEAST. I really like the combination of the hard shell interior and silicone exterior, and I've even accidentally tested the durability by leaving my phone on top of my car after getting gas. Phone fell off as I was driving down the street and all it did was scuff the silicone a bit on one corner. Definitely worth the investment IMO, but I would try to get a case on Amazon or equivalent as Trident wants 80 bucks new! You can find it for half that elsewhere!
[Droid X Accessories] bamx2:
This is sort of reaching, but I wonder if I could apply heat to the back of a generic TPU case so that it would stretch enough to fit over the phone with the extended battery cover installed . I would leave the battery out when doing this to protect it from the heat .
[Droid X Accessories] wowbro:
buy a silicone one and cut the backing out and glue it on the back of the battery holder. Simple :)
[Xoom Accessories] charlie.kanel:
I saw this over on engadget.

Has anyone here seen or used this on their xoom?

Id like to hear some opinions before I take the plunge.

With todays prices on 500gb Externals being so low $200 is kind of pricy. However if it works well it might be worth it.
[Xoom Accessories] charlie.kanel:
Unfortunately I cannot post the link due to my low post count. If you look on engadget its on the first page.
[Xoom Accessories] MadFoodScientist:
I don not think it is available to regular people yet (it says 2-3 weeks on both AMazon.com and BestBuy.com)
[Xoom Accessories] charlie.kanel:
haha I probably should have looked into that before posting... Well On that note I think when its released I may pick one up It would be great having that extra storage seeing how I have no clue when Google will actually invite me to the music beta.
[Xoom Accessories] Back Stabbath:
ive got one thats 2Tb and its great minus the slow transfer speed...

not sure how id get it to work on the xoom but im willing to learn!
[Xoom Accessories] charlie.kanel:
Try Using es file explorer. I have this on my xoom and I can connect to my apple time machine and mount it as a network drive.
[Xoom Accessories] Back Stabbath:
i can see it but i cant get in....

Go to your phone dialer and dial *#1234# then it will flash up
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dully:
It started fashing and straight away the battery fell out and then the phone wont go in to download mode or switch on. what should i do? I just bought it too... will the usb jig work?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
what happens when charger in connected ? any sign of life ??

leave battery out for 5 mins, (make sure it has some charge)

do the 3 button combo THEN insert the battery, still holding the 3 button combo.

let me know the results
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ehtoeh:
How/why would the battery fall out? If its a new phone just return it and start out fresh. Alternatively, the jig should work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dully:
Thanks il try asap. Im also gna buy a new battery just in case. Il let u know
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dully:
Cover wasnt on and cat jumped on sofa :( battery drops out quite easy
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dully:
Is there any sign that the phone is charging??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ovedby:
if the phone is in charge you see like a battery fill with color as it charge .. red if it ampty do you see it?

sorry for my English ...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Eggroll822:
I have to agree with you my experience with the transformer and dock has been wonderful. My roomate asks why I didn't just buy a net book/laptop and whenever I detach the tablet and go to work or a coffee shop it makes it worth it all. Being able to have the tablet for casual use and the dock for longer/power use is the flexibility a lot of people want. For the most part at home it's in the dock just for ease of use, battery, and I don't have to prop it up on something.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bleclair:
Great post!

I would like my Transformer build quality to be a little better, but otherwise I can't complain too much after getting my dock firmware update.

It is so cool to snap the Transformer into the dock and have a netbook with an additional SD card of storage. The keyboard is pretty good, but the trackpad is amazing. I really like the feel of it. Using the trackpad doesn't feel tacked on either, Honeycomb feels like it was designed to be used with a mouse and keyboard.

I also really liked how my tablet was down to about 40% power, and when I put it in the dock it automatically started leeching energy from the dock and recharging itself. Now that is impressive! (The dock wasn't even plugged in.)

Really looking forward to Honeycomb 3.1!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] funnycreature:
Good point! I forgot the touch pad. Will add it right now :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Two things also impressed me about the keyboard dock that I hadn't thought of and wasn't expecting:

1. My Logitech Anywhere MX mouse works perfectly with it. Just plug the adapter into one of the dock's USB ports and it just works. For whatever reason, I didn't think it would, but I'm very happy to see that it works so well.

2. I've been using the dock to charge my Epic while away from a charger. I also hadn't thought about using the dock as a portable charger for my phone, but that works great as well.

Overall, this combo is working better than I expected, and I think my expectations were pretty high. I haven't used my HP Envy 14 notebook since I got the dock, and so I'm left wishing the TF had been available last November. Would have saved me $1000 for the Envy.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shoehopper:
However, I noticed you can only charge a device when the tablet is docked.

I still can't believe the dock didn't come with it's own power cord. For $150 it really, really should have.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Yes, that's true: the tablet has to be docked, but it doesn't have to be open or turned on. So, when stored for carrying it can charge.

And agreed: it would have been nice to have another charger and cable. Given the build quality of the dock and the fact that it includes a full-size battery, I don't know that $150 is enough at retail to give the gross margins they're looking for if they included an adapter and cable. And given that they're pricing the tablet at $399, I'm sure they're happy to maybe squeeze out a few bucks of additional gross margin out of the dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] int_19h:
The killer features were undoubtfully keyboard with a trackpad (I hate taking hands off the keyboard just to move focus around), and the battery life.

Also, I see this becoming an awesome combo once running desktop Linux on it is perfected. That way I can pick whether I want the battery-conserving Android or full-size productivity desktop at any given moment.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] funnycreature:
I have never used Linux (well, I tried to use it in the late 90s) but just to have the option is exciting! I wish to have an OS that allows for multitasking in different windows, even if it's just 2 or 3. Hopefully the Android of the future will have that!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
Such positive vibes! maybe it's not as bad as some people are trying to make out :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] evensen007:
Agree with the OP on most points. People have to keep in mind that the users with bogus units are always going to be the most vocal so it makes it seem like there are more problems than happy customers.

After the latest update that fixed my dock/keyboard, I am 99% happy. I have a discernable amount of light-bleed at the bottom left that bugs me a bit when watching video/on a dark screen. If not for that, i would be at 100%.

My sleep of death issue seems to have gone away and beside the high profile x264 issue, I don't regret my purchase one bit.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] funnycreature:
the list keeps growing!

Just shamelessly bumping this thread due to plenty of whiny 'I return my Transformer for the iPad' threads...

More things that I love about the TF:

Overclock. Yep, it's done! Several kernels now available (Netarchy's Netformer, Blades' 1.6GHz MEATABALL).

Network integration. I mentioned that in the OP but I have to reiterate how great the TF works with the installed software. The past few days I was cleaning the house a lot and simply turned on my PC, turned on my TF and streamed videos and music without having to adjust anything.

USB ports. Also mentioned in the OP. I found an awesome use for them: hooked up a goose neck USB reading light and the keyboard shone even more :D
[Xoom General] ukxoomer:
Hi all,

As the title suggests I would like to flash my UK wifi xoom with the stock US rom to avoid this ridiculous situation of long delays getting what should be routine upgrades from Google, such as a 3.1!

I've read what seems to be most threads on here but wondered if some one could tell me whether it will definately work and point me in the direct of some quick and fairly idiot proof instructions. I'm not looking to root or have non google supported sd card operation, but I would like to receive major firmware upgrades within a week of their US release. So in this instance would just love to have completely stock HC3.1 running.

I'm sure there are loads of uk Xoom users who are in the same situation and would be equally as keen for some definative guidance,

Thanks if you can help!
[Xoom General] hatworthy:
I think you probably will have to root (or at least unlock your bootloader) in order to remove the software in the first place.

It's pretty easy though, did it myself at the weekend. Used the one click root method in the development section

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011196

Ignore the warnings, but make sure you do choose wifi from within the program. (I'm also on a UK wifi and it worked fine)

From there you can either install 3.1 from this thread

Http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074609

Or you can grab the stock system image from the moto website and install that. Personally I think it would be easier to go the first route and keep root, but it's up to you. I can't help with the system image method, never done it before.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
I have been tempted by this too, but for my uses at the moment, I wont really gain much, but Ill keep this in mind in case I change my mind :-)
[Xoom General] burden010:
Also seriously considering this. I'm going on holiday at the weekend though and will need my Xoom in working order so I'll hold off til I'm back. Who knows, we might even have the update by the time I'm back. If not this is definitely my plan.

I'd also really like the UK stock images or to know how to get them off myself just in case.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
I don't think there is a uk image yet... although I might have seen a non-us on moto website? Or did I imagine that?
[Xoom General] nexan21:
I have done all of BRD's mods , and its all good chaps

once a uk/euro rom is available I will probs flash that , but for now 3.1 is worth being a yank
[Xoom General] burden010:
Can you flash back to stock using a nandroid backup or do the image files go deeper than that?
[Xoom General] fkofilee:
Wifi models (Ie MZ604) are fine to flash US Boot images (non-3g i might add :D) but 3G models are no go and are bricking if trying to install 3.1.

My advice is although it works, i would suggest waiting for the 3.1 UK / Euro updates as there "maybe" compatibility issues (i say maybe because people will go "Oh Wait, there are none")

at the moment i have a working xoom 3G but cant go in the internet using a SIM card... why? why you might ask?

Some strange reason my telephonyprovider.APk has mucked up xd :(

But anyway, take it easy before you flash, its your problem if you brick.
[Xoom General] nexan21:
well i cant go back to stock cos the uk/euro version is not available yet , but will be at some point .

so far i have'nt had any issues , touch wood ! (-;
[Xoom General] VaKo:
Just updated my UK version to 3.1 by flashing the US wifi image, then re-locked the boot loader. All seems well.
[Xoom General] elrazerx:
Update too my UK version to 3.1 with the US wifi image, root and install tiamat kernel

then install language package cause I'm French.

All seems well too.

Just a little thing, the web market detects a new device "Xoom Verizon" instead the previous MZ604 device.
[Xoom General] nexan21:
yeah , mine is detected as "Xoom Verizon" also

no adverse effects apart from most apps in the market are priced in $'s not £'s , so i'm waiting for uk/euro image to hit !
[Xoom General] VaKo:
Mine still says £'s, even when I was accessing the US market via VPN.
[Xoom General] pirsiger:
Just do it!

The instructions are somewhat hard to find, but...

1. Install the Android-SDK,

2. Make a path to the fastboot command via right clicking Computer selecting properties select advanced system, environment variables, click on PATH and in the variable value input paste:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools

3. Make sure you de-zip the stock us Wifi firmware into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools directory. Download these from the MotoDev web-site.

4. Place your xoom in fastboot by turning off then repowering holding the volume down button to enter fastboot mode.

Open the command prompt if not already open...

Unlock your Xoom by typing:

fastboot oem unlock

at the command prompt.

then enter the following:

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

Once complete your Xoom should reboot thinking it is a stock US device, so re-configure and you should be prompted with the Update for 3.1.

Job done, no more waiting around like a second class citizen for Motorola to bother passing on the released Google updates to your device. And 3.1 is definately worth the effort...

And yes there is absolutely no reason why European customers paying a premium price point should have to do this to obtain a routine update in a realistic time-frame. Hopefully once flashed to a Stock US device we should receive updates within the same operational window as those who purchased within the US.

Hope this helps, it certainly helped me! (PS this will of course blank your device back to default, once done this should be the last time as updates should now arrive in line with their release!)
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
Nice - that's the second post of instructions I saw :) (others are herE: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13942581#post13942581)

and as I said then - I think people will still be a little hesitant due to no return to UK image :( silly Moto
[Xoom General] PsyMonkey:
Is there a reason that you would want to go back to a UK image? What is the diff between the UK and US? The only thing I can think of is the UK image Google services connects to servers in UK/Euro.
[Xoom General] burden010:
If you ever wanted to return it due to a fault (screen, wifi etc) they would take one look at the US software and claim you have invalidated your warranty.
[Xoom General] VaKo:
Short it out with 12V DC through inappropriate parts of the internals? Did that with a phone Orange replaced because the replacement was falling apart and the one I sent in was mint externally.

But tbh, I don't think anyone who works in these stores would know much about software versions.
[Xoom General] mrgimper:
Same here, running sweeeeet :-)
[Xoom General] baggy247:
Is there any way to do this without losing data?
[Xoom General] qwerp_:
i so want to do this, but i've got a 3G model.. damm

[Xoom General] screege:
Will this work on any non us xoom, mine is from Mexico.

Also do we need any drivers since after putting the first command and putting the xoom in fastboot mode I get waiting for device on the command prompt and nothing happends

[Xoom General] screege:
i can confirma it worked with my xoom purchased in Mexico thanks a lot
[Xoom General] scorpionredblack:
Where can I find the stock rom wifi Xoom UK version?
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
you can't (yet?)

Moto haven't published the img files that I am aware of.

only the US images.
[Xoom General] scorpionredblack:
Ok thanks!;)
[Xoom General] JaymZ37:
Thanks guys for this explaination.

I'm a french user, with a Wifi model (MZ604) and motorola really su*ks with 3.1 for EU users...

So I really want to flash US Stock image for getting 3.1 update, and so get CWM, root and Tiamat if I want.

So I've got 2 questions :

- do i really need to relock my device ? It needs to be unlocked for flashing CWM and obviously I think that trying to relock with non original recovery will brick my xoom...

- if something goes wrong with root or tiamat, i just have to reflash US images to go back to stock again ?

I know that i'll loose my warranty doing this, but as i can go back to stock US Rom in case of problem, there's nothing wrong with that for me. Hoping that Xoom hardware is fine :)

Oh and a precision, i send a mail few days ago to Motorola for 3.1 update and Stock images for EU users, they will not release stock imges for EU users...

Thank you
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
couldn't agree more.

What's worse at the moment is that US seem to be getting all the benefits - 3.1 update, Music Beta, amazon appstore.

and no one cares about the rest of the world!

While the Transformer in the UK got the 3.1 update yesterday.

I know I'm not looking for any major improvements with the 3.1 update but c'mon Moto - stop sucking and making yourself look terrible in the eyes of everyone outside the US.

Anyway,

Unsure about the relocking...

Yes as far as I can see you can reflash stock US wifi images, if anything goes wrong....

I'm thinking I might flash the US wifi image this weekend if i get some free time... :)
[Xoom General] mj7649:
I followed this: (I am coming from a UK MZ604 , stock 3.0.1 wifi)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14237506&postcount=7

and all was fine, got US 3.1 wifi with cwm, and tiamat

but I lost all my data though... a bit painful but at least now I control my own destiny :D
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
Hm

is it worth even doing just three steps?

This would suggest that you would have a Wifi Xoom, with a US image, updatable via OTA to 3.1?

the steps to root and get sdcard access are surely optional from there on?
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
Flashed the US wifi img's on and updated to 3.1 and working fine :-)
[Xoom General] JaymZ37:
Hello and thanks for your explaination ;)

UK 3G Xoom

This might be cross topic - but from the thread I understand 3G UK Xoom can't go to US 3.1 or else it's bricked. However - I want cifs on my CWM'd and rooted 3.0.1 Xoom. I've tried a couple cifs.ko's, and insmod'ing cifs.ko and kicking off CIFS manager results in an instant reboot.

Has anyone had any success with any versions of tiamat and uk 3.0.1 3g xoom?
[Xoom General] tromboc:
Without sounding arrogant, have you searched the forum yet? Many people have 3.1 working on their UK 3G Xoom just fine.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
hahahahahaha

I flashed the US one last night - and they released the Euro image (3.0.1 I assume) the next day.

at least I have a place to return to now if i chose.
[Xoom General] mmsson:
Yep - I've searched and read as far as I've had time to - I've seen the 5 step process and I'm a bit scared....!! I'll have a closer look again on the weekend. I've read a stupid amount of posts on the Tiamat topic itself, and searched high and low. and for all that reading I think I've been scared off... I'll wait till the 3.1 image is out from Motorola before going 3.1 myself - i'd hate to brick it.

I was more interested in any advice/success/failures of running tiamat with 3.0.1- I want my SD card, Wireless, 3g and cifs all to function. CIFS should work already with a rooted 3.0.1, however the cifs.ko causes spontaneous reboots when trying to mount a share. (I've PM'd a dev about that elsewhere)

Thanks!
[Xoom General] stevebakh:
I've just performed a flash on my UK WIFI xoom. I downloaded the MZ604_HWI69 US stock images from the motorola developer site and used fastboot to flash the device. The HC 3.1 update has just started, so in a few minutes, I'll be running stock 3.1 on my UK WIFI xoom.

If I ever need to return the device, or sell it on, I can roll back to the stock UK image as motorola have now provided these, too.
[Xoom General] felixthecat:
Let us know if its working
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
Works fine for me
[Xoom General] AleT:
Does anyone know of any problems running a us rom on a uk wifi XOOM? I was specifically wondering whether the us rom would allow me to use all the same wifi channels as the uk one, and does the android market work ok? Does it think you're in the US, or does it go off the setting in your google account?

Also for those of you that went over to the us rom in may/june, did you get the subsequent updates at the same time as genuine us xooms?
[Xoom General] VaKo:
Re: Wireless channels - no idea, but I've had no problems with wireless since

Re: Market - works fine, it's UK based though so no change (that has to be done via a US VPN)

Re: Updates, I got all my updates at the same time as the US folk
[Xoom General] AleT:
Thanks. Tried it and it worked like a charm.
[Atrix 4G General] rtatts:
Im with o2 at the moment. With unlimited internet.

I want this phone and being in the uk i have to move to orange is my undertanding. Orange do not offer unlimited internet. They give 500mb.

I know no one will be able to give me a definate answer but is this enough. Out and about i dont do to much browsing. A bit of the old youtube and maybe the occasional app download.

How do other people find this limit?
[Atrix 4G General] pOOBAH1973:
There are different data plans on Orange, but it seems none with unlimited data, but some plans do involve 750MB (starting from Panther 30 plan) or 1GB (starting from Panther 45 plan).
