After my experience with the original UK Milestone and Moto's completely poor support for it, never again will I be giving Moto my money. It's plainly clear that the company doesn't care about any kind of proper or speedy support for their devices unless you are in the US.
[Xoom General] directmail:
I absolutely agree. I don't understand what the delay is and Motorola are not providing any information either. This is poor customer support and won't make me buy any Motorola devices in the future. It is appalling that we spent that much money on a device that is unsupported and out of date 2 months after it was released. I learned my lesson and I will stick to HTC from now on. I can just warn anyone who is considering a Motorola Xoom and wait a few more weeks and to buy an HTC or Samsung tablet.

As suggested before, maybe we can post our disappointment on the motorola facebook site. I regret buying a Motorola Xoom and spending so much money it!
[Xoom General] FloatingFatMan:
Hyperbole much? Honeycomb's 3.1 update hasn't been out for months.
[Xoom General] PsyMonkey:
Well this was one of those very expensive life lessons. I will never buy or even recommend a motorola product.
[Xoom General] andyiacovou:
Agreed, some of these tech companies never cease to amaze me. I spend hundreds if not thousands of pounds each year on technology and gadgets and this is the first time i've bought any Moto product ever. Talk about making a bad first impression. I will tell everyone about my experience and discourage them from buying anything from Moto. On the other hand I've never had a poor customer experience with HTC for example and will always recommend.

I flashed the US image and had the 3.1 update within minutes (actually I was in the middle of re-downloading my second app from the market when it flashed up saying an update was available)

Hey,

i now got my PAYG XTC Clip. The thing is i don't really know how to use it :D Is there some kind of Tutorial on it? Do i loose all my Data if I S-Off the device? And is the device rooted right after the XTC Clip is done, or do I have to install something else?
[HTC Incredible S] shrome99:
Here's a vid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLWtIzOkEbI The guy uses a DHD, but this shud work for Incredible too. I think you need to update the software, but sing the payg is new, it might have the latest sofware on it. Google that. There's a good chance you'll loose your phone data so backup. No chance to loose SD card data as you have to remove it. Also, you have to root it separately, maybe superoneclick will work. Here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] magoo1275:
Hi

I am wondering if is it possible to have a application to turn on the screen without have to press the HD2 hard buttons. Like turn on the screen if you touch the screen for 5 seconds. Is there any application to do that, or is it possible to any developer do this ?

This is to save the HD2 hard buttons.

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisgto4:
no. if they did that then the phone would unlock in your pocket. touch screen is disabled when screen is off.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] j4n87:
searched for another method to unlock the phone: Shake to unlock.

But found no app, that can do somthing like that with the stock lockscreen.

with Lockbot, which replaces your stock lockscreen there is a functionality that unlocks your phone, if you shake it.

Didn't tried it myself...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] magoo1275:
Thanks for the tips.

I will try the Lockbot, I put the results here.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djake93:
Hi!

I just got my SK4G the other week, and migrated over from a Motorola Milestone. I was using the brilliant 'Tasker' App on my Milestone, and when it came to getting the SK4G, I backed up my tasks and profiles, and am using the same SD card with the Sidekick.

My problem is that while all of the profiles I had set up are working fine, I am unable to create new ones because of the app continuously force closing. Whenever I try to set up a task, as soon as I get to the dialog to choose what actions to run, I get a short vibration, a pause, and then three quick vibrations followed by a force close. The rest of the app functions fine, and the tasks I'd already set up work perfectly.

I have tried:

Uninstalling and reinstalling the app,

Removing my backed up preferences and creating tasks on default settings,

Using a task killer to free up RAM,

Rebooting,

Waiting a few days and trying again,

although nothing is working. I am still unable to use the app, as this unexplainable force closes prevent me from doing anything.

I know what you're thinking, "Go ask the Tasker forums!" but I just thought I would try here, seeing as it's a fairly popular app and the phone is only new I think I would have better chance finding someone who also uses the app on SK4G and might be able to enlighten me or tell me they have the same problem.

So, anyone got any ideas? Anyone using Tasker without problems on SK4G?

:confused:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
When you tried to install it on your SK4g, did you download it from the Market or did you just install the APK from your old phone?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djake93:
I downloaded it from the market again, although its not impossible that there could have been some app files left behind on the sd card. Do you know what they would look like?

Thanks for helping!

Also, I'm just headed to bed, so don't expect another reply immediately :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
I've got Tasker working just fine here, that might just be some part of having the old files on your phone. Can you pull off everything that you copied over and try to redownload it from Market to see if that works without an FC?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djake93:
I'm cleaning out my SD card now, getting rid of any extra Tasker files, and going to try that, although I can't actually uninstall the app. I do it via the market and it still shows up and I can still open it... This is with the SD card mounted and unavailable...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
why can't you uninstall it? you should be able to just click uninstall in the applications list? it isn't a system app so there shouldn't be a problem there. also, why is your sdcard mounted but unavailable? that's just confusing. maybe that's why it can't uninstall? if it's installed to your sdcard, maybe it can't get to the application to uninstall it?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djake93:
Sorry, by 'mounted' I meant to say that I was using the usb mass storage so the SD card was unavailable.

I ended up working out that I had given Tasker some kind of permissions in security settings, and had to disable that to uninstall.

Went through with uninstall, formatted my SD card and tried from scratch with Tasker again. No luck. Have now restored my profiles so I can keep using them until I sort it out.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
huh. that's weird. and you reinstalled from market, not from an apk?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djake93:
Yep! nothing makes sense! :(
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Have you been able to completely uninstall it from your phone through settings?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djake93:
I did completely uninstall, yes. I then re-downloaded from the market and I'm getting the same thing.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
and what exactly are you doing in tasker when it force closes?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djake93:
I get FC whenever I try to click the + button to add an action to a task.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djake93:
I also asked the Tasker forums/google groups thing, and they told me to install a beta version, and I have and it fixed everything :)

So if anyone else has been having these problems just grab the latest beta of Tasker from here:

http://tasker.dinglisch.net/beta.html
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kitila:
The reson it fc is cuz u r stopping processes which are need to run for the device to work.......Well I will be honest with you,if ur talking about a task killer....ITS POINT LESS....unless u are a dev and plane to us ur phone for deving....because no matter how much ur stop things well they will just start runing againg and well the appes are waste of space if u want to spot app, go to mune,then apps, manage apps and stop the ones u don't want....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djake93:
No, Tasker is something completely different - it lets you automate lots of Android things :)

You could try another player, i.e vplayer. I'm not sure if codec support comes via the players themselves or has to be present in the ROM to start with.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austringer:
All,

I noticed a couple possible defects after upgrading to 3.1 manually.

1. When playing audio from certain applications (XMP for Android for instance) The Audio cuts out shortly after the screen turns off, and then halts for a period of time before coming back shortly, then cuts out again.

2. Once you turn the screen back on, there is a distinct crackling in the audio.

Workaround:

1. Turn screen back on (get the crackling)

2. Unplug the 3.5mm audio jack

3. Play music from the speakers

4. Plug back in the 3.5mm audio jack

Anyone else seeing these issues with other audio applications?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boarder2:
Yep, I had the crackling and long pauses start happening today after the FOTA update.

Seems to happen (more often?) when applications interrupt an audio stream. For instance, listening to music and get an IM or email.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laxplaya116:
Yeah I had issues with this as well afer updating to 3.1...I saw in another thread that doing a "hard reboot" will fix the issue and has seemed to work for me so far. Hold the power button down for 10-15 sec until the unit reboots.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] versatran:
same problem

I have the same problem as well. The audio stops functioning properly when the screen times out or when I lock the device with the power button. The weird thing is that this behaviour is not consistent for all apps.

For example, "Music" stops only at the end of the song. From the "3.1 ROM issues" thread, other users are experiencing this as well. In contrast, in the apps "Listen" and "Audible", almost as soon as the screen goes off or I lock it, the audio stops, starting after some 30 seconds, halting again after 10 seconds. It repeats this cycle a few times and then stops completely. If I lit the screen by hitting the power button, the audio resumes with crackling noises as mentioned in the original posts.

Also, hard reset didn't work. I am tempted to do a factory reset except that I don't really know what's going on and I don't know if that'd fix it!

UPDATE: I found the following workaround solutions:

1- Winamp works flawlessly for songs, not a peep or hitch!

2- BeyondPod is working fairly well for podcasts. (It has paused once after 11 minutes so far.)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silenceforus:
I did the fota update.

and I've the the crackling. Sucky.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eijimiyake:
me too. Hope they get an update out to fix this asap. Extremely annoying bug.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buddyd16:
Would like to add I am also experiencing this issue although mine didn't start till a couple days after the update to 3.1. A hard reset works for a little while but the issue eventually presents itself again. Might be due to a caching issue with the music player?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ellingsoc:
Anyone try another music player?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nascar Dog:
I discovered the crackling noise problem last night.

At first I thought the FLAC songs were recorded from a dirty vinyl record. :eek:

I also discovered the problem where the Music app does not continue to the next song when listening with the screen turned off. How stupid is that. :(

These are two big problems that ASUS needs to address ASAP.

I am already annoyed by the pop sound when turning the Transformer on and whenever any sound to the speaker (Headphones are fine) is played after a long pause.

They must have used a really cheap sound chip in the Transformer. :mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gloomyandy:
Yes I can confirm the same problems with google listen. Have tried the hard reset but it doesn't really help very much. Things worked fine after the restart, but as soon as the screen turned off, then the audio paused, and began to crackle, then more pauses. It is almost as if some part of the system is in some sort of low power mode and is not able to feed the data at the required data rate...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corodius:
I believe this could be exactly the problem. I have not yet gotten my TF, but looking forward to one greatly. However, I get exactly this problem on my Galaxy Tab 7" WHEN using setCPU to add a profile that scales the CPU down when screen is off. It sounds to me as if ASUS has added some sort of governer/scaling that does this. I could be wrong of course :P This is just based on reading, and personal experience :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grainysand:
Yes. I get a lot of weird little problems with the Tab 7'' when setCPU scales clock speed down too far, including random reboots. I guess that's the sacrifice Asus made to give the TF such a tremendous battery life.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nascar Dog:
I don't know about "tremendous"

More like pretty good...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
i can confirm that i have this issue using google music app. I previously purchased PowerAMP (arguably the best android music app) and no problems whatsoever when the screen goes off.

I do like the google music app as it seems like a truly lightweight player but its still in beta stage and needs a bit of work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] versatran:
I just discovered something. The problem does not occur for my Transformer when the unit is plugged in!

So it must be power management problem, the question is how to fix it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veer01_42:
Hey guys, loving the xda forums btw, much love. I have a acer iconia a500 16gb, and same problem here:

Using Acer_a500_4.010.13_com_gen2

The default Music player is buggy and crashed fairly often, the audio stopping when screen turns off and stopping intermittently is also present on iconia with the default music player and the others as well.

The audio crackling is also present under same conditions.

To add insult to injury, sometimes when i connect a headphones the speakers dont turn off. And if i play with he "dolby mobile" settings, the sound on my headphones get really tinny untill i unplug the headphones and plug them back in, or i reboot the sys in some cases.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowman4839:
I just thought I should add to this thread that I have the same problems on my Acer Iconia A500. It consistently only finishes the song after I turn the screen off then it waits MINUTES to start the next song. I only occasionally have problems with the crackle sound. I had the crackling a lot when I first got it but it doesn't seem to happen as often any more. It doesn't seem to happen when I use doubleTwist but I really wish that the STOCK APPLICATION (which I like the best) would work...

Is there ANY way to fix this stuff? I mean even downgrading to like 3.0 or something. I like to use my tablet to play on my stereo system and I don't enjoy having to effing go back every time I want to play the next song. I also don't want to leave the screen on all the time and murder the battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] npaulseth:
I have the same thing happening on my A500 (running the ASUS PRIME ROM, though). When the screen turns off, anything audio related gets really skippy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilizblack:
apparently there's some sort of setting build in for the cpu to underclock to the point of not being able to continue running the music application when the screen turns off. (that's me guessing it could be wrong) It always happens with stock music app though it didnt happen when in 3.0.

I installed winamp and doubletwist and both played nonstop.

Also i noticed that if you had music in your external sd and you open music app (also happened with winamp) and remove the sd the applications wont work anymore (thy always fc)unless you install the sd back (that is if you had your music library in the sd even if you also have it internally)

I tried moving the music to the internal storage but the error persist. the only way to get rid of it is formatting the tablet and passing the music to the tablet before running the apps. However if you install the sd and you happen to have music and music app open, youre screw again.

thats the error ive been having and im stuck with a 16gb sd in the tablet to hear music, (which i find it sucking cause my tablet is 32gb)

any suggestions?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inzimam:
Hi All,

My dream, one that I hope Android can help me fulfill is to hook my Galaxy S2 to a HDMI tv, fire up remote desktop and by using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, effectively have a full desktop available.

I am yet to try hooking up my phone to a tv as I am waiting for the MHL cable, but issues I envisage are the following:

1) When the screen is mirrored on the TV, the RDP program will not use the TVs display show 'full screen'. I have installed some RDP applications and they allow you to select the resolution so perhaps this will resolve the issue

2) Are there any RDP applications that allow bluetooth keyboard and mouse entry?

This is the hold grail for me!! Many a time I have stayed in a hotel for work or holiday and not had my laptop with me and wished for such a solution. Combine this with Wake On Lan and it's perfect!

I hope someone can help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inzimam:
I can't believe i'm the only one that wants something like this to work!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob_h:
RDP programs should just take any inputs from your phone and pass them onto the remote machine so BT kb/m should work ok IMO. Not sure about the mirroring but if it is fullscreen on the phone then maybe the MHL cable will upscale for the TV.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inzimam:
I'm waiting for the cable before I can try. In fact I would have had it by now but my girlfriend wants to buy some stuff for me for my bday and I believe she's already ordered it!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob_h:
I should get mine tomorrow and I'll try it out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inzimam:
Thanks! I'll check back on thread!

I've been doing some reading around and have found that BT keyboards and a mouse will work no problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob_h:
I tried my MHL cable with the Android VNC viewer app and allows you to fit to screen but does not output at the tv's native res.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketrobot:
I have had similar experience with Remote RDP, it just mirrors the phone's native resolution. Hopefully this kind of thing will be supported soon, including internet browsing at 1080p.

Thanks guys, that sux!

I still haven't received my cable so I can't try for myself, but have you managed to make it work to a workable output on the TV?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunted09:
would be interesting if we could port some parts from the atrix (webtop) over to this phone. I actually enjoyed that feature.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inzimam:
Perhaps, this kind of program may help to format the resolution?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckinninger:
Am I missing something? If you got a bt keyboard and bt mouse and the phone to tv hdmi, don't you have it all? Why would you need a remote desktop or vnc software?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3waygeek:
Well, you'd have it all except for USB, which you might be able to live without.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inzimam:
If it could pump out the full Remote Desktop resolution then you will effectively have a full desktop through your phone rather than just have the phone's software capability.

Fair enough you can surf the web and play a video but what if I want to use full excel or Word, and multi-task like on a desktop.

I've still not received my cable so I don't know whether the browsing the net with the phone's browser is legible on a big screen.

In my earlier post I complete missed off the applications name - LCD Density - haven't tried and I don't know if it's compatible with the SGSII, but sounds like it changes the native resolution of the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ks2hot4u:
Try Splashtop as your vnc app it is the only one to my knowledge that can stream audio almost perfect and video pretty good over vnc and works like a charm on the atrix.

ive sorted out the unlock bit (just ordered code off ebay) however it has orange blurb on it .. ive found a ebay seller who i have used before who will debrand the firmware however im concerned that it will void the warranty

the seller advises that once debranded i can still update the firmware as if it was a unbranded phone but im concerned that ill throw away 2 years warranty on what is an excellent phone

ive come from the iphone and i have to say the wp7 experience is 1000% better

just another quick question ive just updated the firmware through zunes and the update was feb 2011 i thought that another update had been released this month ??
