to be honest, i purchased it just because i had some extra cash. But what played a major factor is, i got tired of reading comics and books and watching movies on my droid x screen. I dont regret it at all. Now, i barely turn on my pc unless i want to download or convert a movie to put on my xoom. Now i do everything with it. Keep my personal files, movies, notes, browsing (internet and tapatalk), video chat, email, news, games. I cant put it down when im home.

And i love pulling it out on the train, people always try to catch a glimpse. (that doesnt sound right).
[Xoom General] CdRsKuLL:
Its a top toy. I purchased a advent vega first and found I loved it so much and used it more than I expected.. so I sold that and bought a 3g xoom. Awesome bit of kit but I wish they would hurry up on the 3.1 update. I went into comet here in the uk today and had a play with the transformer. All the reviews I've read said it had an awesome screen but I wasn't that impressed to be honest... still happy I picked the XOOM although the vega does come a close second for the price!

My advice would be buy a vega.. stick vegacomb on it and have a play, if you find you find a need for it then go and get a xoom.

Hi all,

Well originally i didn't think i needed a tablet but then my desktop went haywire and became unusable so i looked hard at what i was actually using it for and at that time realised i could do all that with the right tablet.

So what i use it for is Web browsing, E-Mail, visiting and posting on Forums, watching live or catch up TV and downloading and watching the latest US TV shows (I'm in the UK) and for my calender and that's really all i was using it for.

I needed to get something fast and that would also hook up to my monitor so i could could make use of a larger screen and my sound system when i wanted to. On going to several stores only the Xoom could do all i wanted easily and actually had the build quality i was happy with. So far it has done all i want or need it to with ease hooking up the micro HDMI to HDMI on my monitor is easy and provides excellent quality pictures using the Audio out on the monitor it goes to my JBL powered sub woofer and 4 speakers and produces great sound and the Xoom has totally replaced my desktop.

Typing with on the on screen keyboard with word suggestion and correction is far easier and quicker then using a normal keyboard as most words require only 2-4 letters. Not forgetting i now have an instant on response no more waiting for windows to boot or shut down and even when i don't connect it to my monitor i think the screen is stunning as its bright and crisp although i have brightness set to full and don't use the Auto brightness which i think makes a huge difference and why i am constantly confused by reports of the poor screen by some as mine is anything but poor.

I absolutely love my Xoom and have been amazed by just how well its performed in all i want and need. I have installed ADW EX as my launcher as its my launcher of choice and i have had no lag or freezes or stutters and have installed all my usual widgets and apps and so far only Audio widget pro has failed to work which really isn't a big deal. For me the Xoom is a great bit of kit and far from being a toy and hopefully Motorola will get up to speed and start giving UK customers the support we deserve i can't wait to see just how much better it will get in the coming months but for now I'm one happy Xoom owner and user.

[Xoom General] alldayvape:
I guess to each his/her own. If you have the money then the Xoom is a nice toy. I also own a laptop, always have. This Xoom is way cooler, way smaller, and has sooo many uses.

Some people drive a Maybach, others a Metro.
[Xoom General] bobdude5:
I use my tablet (galaxy tab 10.1) primarily for school. Nice big vibrant screen makes reading my textbooks a joy. Its much more convenient to carry around a 1lb tablet vs several 5lb books. Its also great for typing a paper or viewing powerpoints. I typed a 4 page essay on this baby no problemo.

Besides school though, i use it storage/viewing device for all my movies, pictures and music. Its also fun to play games on, namely emulators.

Pretty much replaced my laptop for most leisure activities

buuuttt IMO i dont think there is any good reason to buy a xoom over the other honeycomb tablets available. It costs way more and it has the cheapest screen out of all of them. It has great build quality though.
[Xoom General] Ferasu:
I bought it for my next summer vecation while travelling, instead of taking a laptop, mostly for google maps, skype, emails and google calendar. :)
[Xoom General] patass:
i sold my Acer aspire one net book to help pay for my xoom. I find that laptops are too juch of a pain to be truely portable. They take a while to start up, take awhile to connect to the internet, have crappy battery life, you can't really pull them out quickly to look up something...

Tablets have apps that aren't available on pc's that make life in general easier. My net book couldn't ever have been a backup GPS like my xoom can. My xoom runs emulated games alot better than it did. I can read cmics and books easier on my xoom....

Do I really need to go on? Tablets are the future, lapts are old news.
[Xoom General] Viralwhite:
Well, simply put.... I use my tablet for work. I'm a professional firefighter and couldn't stand taking my huge laptop with me. I also needed something that was durable for my line of work. The xoom felt perfect in my hands and is very durable. This is an investment for me.
[Xoom General] tumbes20000:
I use my tablet for work. I have a desktop at the office and use the xoom to work on the road (I am in and out of the office a lot). So far it has been great. With docs to go it is easy to read and manipulated docs (much, much better than my epic 4g)!

So for me it is not a toy but a great work tool. The web is the full web with no limitations. I have no idea what people are complaining about with the web. It has has all my music and some movies for plane rides. My favorite thing is the battery is great. My laptop make it basically half a day before recharging (9 cells).

So the combo of my desktop and the xoom has been great and would not go back to lugging a laptop around.
[Xoom General] tagacapiz:
formal use for me is reading PDFs. the ones which are no longer readable if the formatting gets messed up.

other incidental uses:

a) browsing on the go, I trade equities and securities online so...

b) reading ebooks

c) my girl loves to play games on it

d) social stuff: fb, Twitter, email

e) browsing and streaming

f) notes and personal organizer

g) media player
[Xoom General] copualt3:
It all subjective. If i want to be rational about it then half the stuff I personally buy I do not need. If you can afford it, go for it, if you want want something coming out soon that might be better than wait ie Samsung galaxy tab 10.1. I already have the xoom 3g since launch day and I enjoy using it every time.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zenlakin:
Hey all. I have a question. I have a friend that was recently testing out SMS backup and from what he is seeing, if a text message is deleted right after it is sent or received, he doesn't see the message and it doesn't appear to get backed up. I was curious if any of you guys have come across a better app that can backup in real-time so that the message can't be deleted before it can be backed up?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] TheInfekted:
Just use go sms pro and use the backup and restore feature and uninstall if needed
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dnahughes:
saving sms msgs

or simply open the msg go to settings and copy to sim card and done

Hey I used to use the Droid x froyo keyboard and it was amazing! Could someone port this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1086148 to evo? I don't know how and I don't known if its possible.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DrNO[PL]:
Hi!

Quick question to everybody. Recently I've installed MIUI 1.5.20 on my MM, before that parted SD into FAT32(7GB, primaty+active)+EXT2(1GB, primary). Now in Settings>System>SD, in section A2SD+ it says "This device does not support A2SD+", is there something more that I should have done to make it work properly?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Nothing is wrong with it as far as I know. I had the same "issue" as well and my ext2 partition worked fine. I think it might just be because of the ext2 partition not being a native feature to the Milestone? Everything is fine though, don't worry :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DrNO[PL]:
ok... :) so how can I check if it works? afaik it should hold apps relocated to SD, so if i go via root explorer to sd-ext folder (mount point), .apks should be there, right?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Yes. Also you can try looking at /system/app and it might be there as well.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DrNO[PL]:
thx a 1M :) going to try it out... after reflashing with own-modified version from a scratch :]
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DrNO[PL]:
unfortunately, /sd-ext is still empty.

ok, can any one tell me what are the correct steps, am I missing something? here is what i did:

1. factory reset (org froyo)

2. partitioned SD:

a) FAT32 7GB primary active

b) EXT2 1GB primary

3. rsd lite > g.o.t. 2.2.1 + open recovery 1.46 + or-extfs-update2 + V6supercharge

4. full wipe

5. applied miui 1.5.20 + minor fixes

should it work already(?)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Which MIUI are you using? Did you try rebooting the phone after you restored all your apps?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DrNO[PL]:
PROBLEM SOLVED

it's latest MIUI 1.5.20, solution as follows:

1. after installing MIUI, flash via AOR >>THIS script

2. reboot device to the OS and instal (from market) "A2SDGUI"

3. reboot device (just to be sure)

4. njoy :)

later in mentioned app, you can set dalvik location and/or initiate swap

(@Admins/Mods: for me thread to be closed, thx)

thanks goes to skwara for advice, tkirton for script and skadude66 for trying to help :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Glad it works :D I'm guessing when you say latest 1.5.20, you're talking about miuiandroid.com's version of MIUI? Because eybee1970's version includes automatic app2ext scripts and shouldn't be that hard to use.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DrNO[PL]:
right... you asked about whose release is it, it's not quite original, but based on it. skwara@android.com.pl makes PL version better suited to our local demands, there's no preinstalled app2ext. maybe that's even better, rom is lighter, and more open to your own way of customisation ;P hope someone will find this thread useful if he/she is not using eybee1970's version
[KIN Two Software Development] Kinuser1:
STOP RUSHING ME AND LET ME DO WHAT I NEED TO DO. I have school you know. This is my last full week that I have to see my friends and other things like that, then it's off to exams. If you were on my end, You'd see how busy I am. AND if he had a facebook, I hacked my friend's KIN as well. So guys please stop rushing me. It is starting to make me mad. Ever since I had said something you guys have been up my @ßß. If you wish not to end up in the current state I'm on (which is possibly a brick waiting for a phone to come tomorrow) then I suggest you wait. @johnkussiack, please come in feel free to comment leave your opinions but tell these guys how hard it is to hack a phone successfully. I would hate to see you guys end up with a brick, and I would feel responsible. Let me do what needs to be done. I'll upload screenshots and what I've done, Give me time.

All the best,

Kinuser1

(Tyler Jones):eek:
[KIN Two Software Development] 4LC4PON3:
just upload the guide honestly & let the users choose for themselves weather or not they want a brick. I got a year warranty so I will return it till im blue in the face. What did you expect when you first stated that you found a way into the Kin & made the announcement?

I mean come on Yes We know you had a death in your family and stated that it would take you a week to write a simple guide. The problem I see is this you spoke up first & then you expect people to wait patiently which in all seriousness no offense was a stupid thought in your head because its not going to happen.

All Im waiting for is the guide once thats in place I will choose for myself weather or not I will chance a brick to hack or screw around in my phone. No offense but its the truth. I wouldnt of said anything till I had a guide or the time personally.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
Kid, (way older), i'm not playing devil's advocate here.

While it's true that hacking something is complicated, I'm with 4LC4PON3 this time. Being a big thing (or not), you cannot shout it to the winds and then go back to a cave.

Test it, do it, ensure it, then tell.

My app could be released atm, but of course would do crap things, yet i assured that it works even if i press Conn+Disconn 30 times. Ever post without being sure of what you do and what will you do next.
[KIN Two Software Development] Kinuser1:
To be truthful with you guys, the screenshot was a fake, EXCEPT THE RECENT BOX AND TIME BOX, I edited those so they shade until you click them. I wanted you guys to lay off me for awhile. But I promise, I did not pull your chain guys, I hate when people do that, trust me, I had the enV touch and someone said they had android on the phone but it was a fake. The guy took a picture from google and pasted on the phone. So I left the facebook group because people were flaming me. Well guys later.
[KIN Two Software Development] soninja8:
No offence but you sound so...not smart right know. I dont want to make fun of you and then come to find out you have the guide, but just like John said, Test it, do it, ensure it, then tell.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
Here i stopped having any interest. As i told ya, post or don't post, but no teasers.

You can do small things, you can asure people that you got access to the phone, you can say that you did but you dont know what to do with it.

But never.... ever!! fake things. Now every post that you text, every image that you upload... will have the "Suspicius fake?" mark above it, even if this time is real.

Also, you were flamed in the group with reasons. You posted in a cocky mood about "recording your face when you see it", and then you say that some pictures were fake. That's flame fuel.

PS: btw, my nick doesnt have any "i" character. It's like the actor, but with "K". Just cause i saw it twice by now.
[KIN Two Software Development] 4LC4PON3:
My problem is this. Like I said I understood you had a death in your family but you have a cocky attitude for one got on my nerves, You Faked the photo which I already had doubts on anyways.

What got me is this you said that you have been having problems with your phone for sometime now even before you started hacking into it. Then all of a sudden your phone doesnt turn on correctly you blamed it on the "So Called Hacks"

Prior to this you made a statement that you didnt want help because you didnt want people "stealing your work"

If you do have access to the phone put up the guide even if you did screw your phone up Ok but you cant claim something then never do it. We are Adults here not children it is our choice weather or not we want to attempt the job or not. There are smart users here that you & we can benefit from to get it done faster.

It doesnt take that long to write a simple guide. Either in my opinion A You are just B.S & trying to make yourself sound important or Your just lazy & cant write a 30 minute Tutorial.

Side Note You stated on Facebook when I got mad you said Do you want me to make a video showing proof?. If you can take time to make a video you can easily make time to write the tutorial.

Sigh... This last post is an offense to all of us who have a real bricked kin.
[KIN Two Software Development] Kinuser1:
It is not bricked like I said, IT IS BROKE
[KIN Two Software Development] Kinuser1:
EDIT

I'm actually not sure if it is bricked because it wont turn on
[KIN Two Software Development] soninja8:
POST THE DAMN GUIDE AND STOP WHINING ABOUT THE STUPID BRICK, IT SEEMS LIKE THE PHONE WAS YOUR TYPING HANDS BECAUSE IT REALLY EFFECTED YOU BEING ABLE TO TYPE THE GUIDE!

Thanks
[KIN Two Software Development] Marcellus1:
Wow. some people here need to CALM DOWN. Give the guy a break. If he is in possession of useful information, name calling and what not is not going to help. If he isn't, name calling and what not is not going to help. While I think it would reflect poorly on him if he has been falsely leading people on, I for one take any 'breaking' news here with a grain of salt. I'll believe it when I see the proof, and until then, I'm not going to get all bent out of shape about it.

I'm somewhat hopeful for what JohnKussack's discoveries may hold, and mainly because he has actually been able to demonstrate what he has discovered.
[KIN Two Software Development] Kinuser1:
@soninja8 I am going to say this for the last and final time.

STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO. Are you the one who found out? NO!

Let me do what I need to do and shutup :)

@Marcellus1 thank you for understanding
[KIN Two Software Development] soninja8:
Im just not understanding why the guide cant be posted thats all. I understand that your busy and all, but you seem to have enough time posting videos of your phone not working and talking about random things...
[KIN Two Software Development] 4LC4PON3:
edit cause im tired of his drama

Thanks for doing some little thread necromancy, but i think that this dead horse should not be beaten (again).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d12unk13astard:
My contract is up soon with t-mobile and even tho the at&t merger might happen, im gonna stick with magenta and hope it doesn't go thru. I will probaly get the G2X as i can see it's already easy to root and has lots of great devs cooking roms and supporting it. I was hoping the sensation wouldn't come with a locked/encrypted bootloader but it looks like HTC is changing their ways and becoming the next Motorola. Plus i am not a fan of sense or care for QHD screens.

Hope to see @ least some of you on G2X forums, will still be around here forever on the g1 ofcourse. Could never sell it or get rid of it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azrash:
my next phone would be G2! just because it has a keyboard, lol, htc stated that they would ship unlocked bootloaders soon, so im hoping the will come out with a nice phone with a keyboard.

personally, between g2x and sgs2, i prefer sgs2, the super amoled plus is too hard to resist, better battery consumption as well.
[Galaxy S II General] linkin85:
Hi peeps, my first post here on XDA :) nice to meet all of you.

Ill try to list of the problems I found so far in the galaxy S II

p.s. some problems are related to android software itself:

anti-aliased small text, HTC phones do not have this problem

horrendous battery usage after updating to KE7, android OS taking more than 40%

android stock browser does not render original website fonts

touch screen is less sensitive than other phones e.g. iphone

the lock screen is just not practical when it comes to unlocking, you have to move it quite far to unlock when set to picture only

when waking the phone using home button, it briefly shows the background app, this doesn't happen when waking from power button, trust me this is annoying ;)

More issues:

Wifi signal bar shows weak signal, but infact the signal itself is strong, as confirmed with a speed test

cannot disable battery full warning sound

hopefully these will be fixed, ill try to think of some more and add them.
[Galaxy S II General] ArcherFasting:
Thanks for the list.

It's sad to have such a spectacular phone have issues like these... I'm pretty sure all will be fixed with updates and custom ROMS from some amazing Devs on here...but still.

Hopefully sooner than later!

Do keep us updated
[Galaxy S II General] bogdan1234:
Hey.

I must disagree with you on some points.

- the battery usage is not that catastrophical. I had an SGS before and I must say that, contrary to my expectations (bigger screen, more features, improved hardware), the battery is holding up nicely.

- touch screen is great. a friend of mine has an iphone 4 and we did a lot of comparing. I did not encounter any issues when scrolling or whatsoever. On the contrary, I see a big leap between these two devices when it comes to tactile control.

- I didn't notice any issues with the lock screen. The same lock screen was on SGS (well.. aproximately). Still... this is the point of a lock screen - to swipe it as much as possible in order to prevent unlocking it accidentally. You will get used to it really fast.

- regarding the background app -> it didn't happen to me but based on my previous experience with Android OS I am not going to deny that this isn't possible.

By the way are you experiencing all these bugs with KE2 or you already upgraded to KE7?
[Galaxy S II General] rocketpaul:
+1

another negative thread. sigh.

btw

Sliding the wallpaper horizontally is almost the exact same distance as you would slide the default android unlock screen...
[Galaxy S II General] linkin85:
the battery is certainly very good, until i updated to KE7, now android OS eating up 50%.

the touchscreen certainly feels different, however the problem is also related to the fact that the iphone knows your finger actually touches the link e.g. on a webpage by a roughly a millimeter below it, because of the way you hold it , it is slightly at an angle. i guess that's something i need to get used to, as i just switched to android from ios.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
My battery's actually improved on KE7. Did you update on top of KE2 or did you wipe the phone and hard reset after the update? I did the latter. My phone's been up nearly seven hours with moderate use and still has 65% battery left. And I appreciate you sharing your individual feelings toward the phone. But, based on some of the posts I've read on this forum, I don't think there was, is, or will be a phone that meets all of the stated expectations.
[Galaxy S II General] bogdan1234:
Agree with that. Battery Level - 22%, Uptime: 26hrs 7 mins. Moderate use (switching from WiFi to 3G, playing some games, browsing the internet and market to download some stuff, cumulative talk ~ 45 mins, texted some messages).

I really cannot complain about the battery at all.

The only bad thing that happened to me since I bought this phone is that I cannot take my hands off it so the people around me get pissed for no reason :o Either way.. one of my best investments ever.
[Galaxy S II General] mattism78:
I think the inability to get mine delivered is a problem. Can't wait to get my paws on it. FWIW, IMHO, my post was as useful as this thread:D
[Galaxy S II General] linkin85:
I appreciate that this phone is amazing, but every phone has its flaws and I'm simply listing the problems I experienced so far.

if we don't talk about them and ignore them, they will never be fixed.

Many thanks
