Agreed, it's just as I read the xoom forum its mostly people have done something to there xoom not they opened there box and problems were there from the starting point. Xooms not perfect but I have confidence that my xoom will turn on, and will not have bleeds, nor creaking / separation issues.
[Xoom General] cypherx82:
Now that I think about it, the only problem I read about with an out-of-the-box Xoom was some dust under the screen. And that was just ONE person. From what I've read, iPad 2 issues were practically an epidemic.
[Xoom General] Zyxwvu44:
honestly im very happy with my xoom. i rarely ever get any lag and i have had one or two browser crashes, nothing else. I'm an advanced user, been rooting my android phones for years now, and i still dont feel the need to root my xoom yet.... Build quality is great, software is fine too.

Sure, a sd card would be nice, but right now i dont even use a quarter of my onboard storage. 4g would be nice, but in my case i mostly use my xoom on the subway, where 4g goes in and out. its much better for me to have a solid 3g conneciton then switching back and forth between 3g and 4g (like my darn thunderbolt) and having no connection for a minute between each tower

anyway, im a happy xoom owner :D
[Xoom General] biscoradio:
I'm happy with my xoom.

I'm a bit happier with my iPad2.

Xoom just feels bulky, heavy, and laggy compared to iPad2.

I bought my Xoom a few weeks before the company I work for decided to give everyone an iPad2. I usually use the iPad now as it is overall just slicker, easier to carry around, and has more polished Apps. I do use the Xoom a lot for music streaming, love google music. And occasionally I'll browse on it because dolphin browser handles flash where iPads fail.

If I were spending money on something, it'd be a tough call. I love android, love my HTC Incredible phone, but the build quality and feel of the iPad is superior. SmartCovers are awesome, it feels clunky to have to find the on-off button on the back of the xoom, etc. I think Android is superior to iOS for sure, but right now we're going through the growing pains of a new OS and a new platform... Can't wait for someone to design hardware with usability on par with the iPad.
[Xoom General] becu4xda:
Ipad2 is good. But Xoom is better and more functional

My kids love ipad2 that I bought for my wife. However, when I bought them a xoom, they never use ipad2 again.
[Xoom General] Kippui:
I'm liking the xoom too.

I wish it had better codec support but I thought about it rationally. I'm not going to have to much 720p stuff with my 1.5mb down dsl connection.
[Xoom General] Arizona Willie:
Xoom love

I love my Xoom too. Carry it around all day and keep it by my side while watching TV at night.

I think 97% of the people who have them love them.

Motorola -- not so much.

Mostly because Motorola not only fails to communicate -- they REFUSE to, it seems.

I suspect their lawyers don't want them to talk to customers about non-working parts such as the SD card and 4G because that would provide evidence in any legal proceedings that eventually come about.

And then when owners see the Xoom ( Wi-Fi ) being sold at a 17% discount on Ebay coupled with the lack of communication it makes for unhappy owners.

Does not help Motorolas reputation or to sell more units.
[Xoom General] blackte4:
i love my xoom. I gave my Icrap pad to my aunt. I was waiting for a good android tablet and look what I got. The best tablet on the market. Yes it root and clock at 1.4ghz. But look what I can do compare to the icrap apple. Add one new feature every year. Lol its funny to me. I feel my xoom will be around for some years. OK 2-3 years tops but that's how the tech world is. I see alot of new stuff coming soon for the xoom.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
I love my xoom and its various customizations. 3 of my friends have ipad 2 and I think they were just going nice and easy because they're not tech savvy enough. Still, how can anyone say the ipad 2 build quality is superior to the xooms? It is not even comparable, I mean what does the light weight have any real meanings beside making the device all plastic? I can glance at the black ipad for a second, but holy ****, the white one looks exactly like an iclone or Iclown from China. Don't even bring facetime and the cameras in the competition. They're useless. And prices of the ipads are wayyyyy over of what they should have been. Anyways, I'm a happy xoomer !!!! :)
[Xoom General] RMerlin:
Easily resolved by using Moboplayer or Rockplayer.

OS-level codec support should never be an issue IMHO. I don't see anyone complain that Windows has no built-in support for Matroska, for example :)
[Xoom General] nthknd:
If you ever think your xoom isn't up to par go check out the transformer forum nothing but complaints and people on there 2nd or 3rd replacement due to various problems, and I keep reading its a good buy for the price, not when it comes to my time and stress level. Oh here's the funny part ausu wants you to pay for return shipping if you need a replacement or repair. Really?
[Xoom General] p-slim:
I love my xoom also. I don't care about the sd slot working because honestly 32gbs is more then enough and they don't even advertise about that. The only thing I am missing is my 4G. Even if samsung comes out with their tab who the hell wants to use touch wiz or whatever the hell it is as well as who wants to wait that long for updates? Lets go moto
[Xoom General] okantomi:
I really, really love my Xoom. I'm one of those people who carry it around constantly. Even when I could use my PC I'm using the Xoom to check my emails, FB and of course, xda. I'm using it on the road for work instead of lugging around a notebook. It's everything I need in a tablet computer, and more.

I started out in November with a Pandigital Novel (eclair) that I rooted and modded to the point where I got bored and gave it to my Mom. In February I sprung for the 1st Tegra 2 tab available at that time, the little orphan eLocity A7-froyo 2.2, a sweet and powerful little tab, but quirky build and short battery life. Still, I rooted and modded and finally gave it to my daughter when I got my Xoom in April. I figure I've been averaging 3 months on my android tablet progression, doubling my expenditure with each purchase, but the Xoom is different. This one's a keeper!
[Xoom General] Kippui:
The xoom can't play any 720p file that isn't baseline. Most scene/anime stuff is 720p High Profile which will not play on the xoom.

I cant drop my anime onto it without issues

The 720p stuff I occasionally download wont work without recoding.

Unless you have some sort of solution that none of us Xoom/Transfomer/Acer Iconia users dont know lol?
[Xoom General] Marshall1975:
Hello

I have to agree as I love my xoom also. A quick visit here and my UK xoom is now running 3.1 with full 3g working. SD card slot working a treat and am able to mount and unmount my external hard drive. Not to mention it purrrring along at 1.5ghz :D.

As for build quality I have no idea why some people are moaning. Its by far the best made and solid feeling tablet out there. I say if people don't like them then sell it and move on.
[Xoom General] danyzfr6:
I love my Xoom. I haven't used any other tablets, so I can't compare. I've never had any problems with the Xoom. And with the 3.1 update, things are even better. I think the browsing experience is excellent especially with Dolphin Browser. Love being able to see flash videos right in the page.

Hoping for more apps to come out as Honeycomb gets more popular. That would be my only gripe, the lack of apps for my tablet.
[Xoom General] double1:
I had the huawei s7 and the galaxy tab before getting the xoom. i wonder how the devs at google i/o are liking their 10.2 tabs? I hope they stick to using the xoom for developing so we get the latest api's. The xoom2 will probably be out around October with kal-el and who knows what else. tech is moving so fast, I don't expect any device to be current for more than 3 months. I've had my xoom 2 months so... Of all the new tabs coming out I don't see any that will take me away from xoom although i'm interested to see how the HP touchpad does as WebOS was the first smartphone os i used.
[Xoom General] RMerlin:
Did you try Moboplayer? I don't know if it can do it, but it cam play a lot of stuff that the built-in player (and many other third party players too) can't play smoothly. Make sure to install the optimized codec pack on top of it, see what happens. For the Xoom, you want the ARM V7_VFPV3 codec pack.
[Atrix 4G General] benholman:
I was wondering if rooting my future Atrix and using titanium backup to remove most (if not all) the Moto apps is a good choice. Like most Atrix users I see them as just bloat-ware. Has anyone done this? How have your results been? Many FC's?

Also, I would be removing almost all the Moto UI elements.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Don't remove them. Freeze them with TiBu.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gigio65:
Hi guys,i'm new to this forum and i have a problem with ACE s5830,i installed the firmware 2.3.3 GINGERBREAD XXKPE EUROPE (i FROYO 2.2.1 ITALIAN),so good,the ACE works well and much more responsive,but i realized that no longer goes into recovery mode so i can not install zip packages,when i feel the sequence ACE the middle button+power turns on and goes into recovery,solutions? Thanks to those who can help me(sorry for my bad english).
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] imranaryan:
There Is A Software Called Boot Control.. mind u its works as a widget so install in on ur phone memory and go to Widget -> Boot Control

search it in the market
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ingbrzy:
Also Quick Boot application works for SGA...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gigio65:
these applications require root, because I do not have it, I just need to go through recovery to take root update zip?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ingbrzy:
Just press and hold home+power on until you see Samsung on the screen... it has to be accessible whatever you did with your phone...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gigio65:
Unfortunately I tried many times, does not work, but I do not understand why does the download and instead the recovery mode no, I did the flash as it was described here at XDA, I do not understand why, maybe the firmware XXKPE did this? Should I try to flash again, or better not? Or is there no way to make the root install other zip recovey?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ingbrzy:
Install VillainROM and you will have 2.3.3 with root, zipalign and deodex at the same time...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gigio65:
But besides the fact that this Rom installed, there is a way to unlock the recovery? (thanks to those who have tried to help in some way.)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gigio65:
Sorry guys you break the boxes the last time, have mercy, the recovery could be blocked because when I flashed the KPE was flagged DEBUG USB? And if I tried to flash again you can, or should not? If you have to flash just like the first time (OPS, APBOOT, PHONE, PDA, CSC?):rolleyes:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gigio65:
Sorry there is no one who can answer that question? Thank you very much.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] badnang:
just flash the villain rom..is that so hard?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gigio65:
Ok thankyou.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gigio65:
I wanted to thank everyone who responded to my questions, I flashed the rom Villain and finally I have the phone root.:p
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nahiyan:
Hello everyone,

I recently tried to put the latest Overcome Rom using Odin on my Galaxy Tab after rooting. But I guess I forgot to patch the bootloader (Stupid, I know). The flashing failed (I think it was because of the bootloader). Now when I turned off the tab to exit the download mode, it was showing a phone and a pc with a yellow exclamation mark in between. That's fine as I am still in the download mode I guess. I tried to re-do the flashing but nothing worked.

But now, the Tab has gone completely dead. I want to flash the Roto JME V2. But the tab only shows the yellow exclamation when I plug it on the wall charger. Then it stays like that. Whenever I take the charger off, it goes totally blank. Not even shows the yellow exclamation anymore. I have tried to switch it on with all the button combination possible. Volume up/ down everything. But it's just bricked.

Hemidall or Odin, nothing detects it. After I keep the usb plugged into the pc for about 10 minutes, the exclamation screen suddenly comes up. But still Odin doesn't add it. Hemidall does. But after flashing the screen is stuck in the Samsung text.

ANy suggestions to get my tab up running again?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
so after u bring it back to life u still can go through download mode right .

but the problem is with odin , here is what u have to try , go grab any of ur friends laptop or pc , install the kies for the drivers , then install odin , then plug your usb and check it , probably its odin problem or something , its happen sometimes ...

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bob265:
I have a rooted droid 1 and I want to install cyanogenmod 7.0.3. I got rom manager the free edition and I flashed clockworkrecovery. When I tried to install the rom from sd card, it just rebooted and went to a triangle with an ! and that's all. I waited, but nothing happened, so I did a battery pull and rebooted my droid. I flashed clockwork again, because a friend told me it probably didn't flash properly. I got the success notice again. Then I tried again, but this time my phone just rebooted. What am I doing wrong :confused:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] saddog5523:
That's really weird... I just put that ROM on my D1 and it installed perfectly, even though it took 3 tries. :p I followed a guide on how to install it using ROM Manager (since it was my first time). Since I am a noob here at XDA, it won't let me post a link to the website, but I'll copy and paste the tips for you.

Problem During Flashing?

If after the "Reboot and Install" step, you immediately get a picture of Android with a big exclamation point, most likely it means the ROM image you downloaded was not cryptographically signed by the developer (which happens if they were in a hurry to release or simply don’t use encryption).

That’s OK – you can fix this by:

clicking the exclamation point screen, which goes to the ClockworkMod recovery menu or simply rebooting into recovery manually (that’s one of the options in the ROM Manager). Alternatively, you can boot into recovery by holding Power and Home buttons together while powering up your phone

selecting the option that says "install zip from sdcard"

toggling the "toggle signature verification" option to turn the verification off (it should say "Signature Check: Disabled")

giving flashing another try by selecting "choose zip from sdcard" and selecting the right ROM, just like before.

This is on the Android Police forums posted by Artem Russakovskii. I don't take credit for this. ;)

Goodluck!!!

Adam
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bob265:
Thanks.

Anyways, I had to flash the latest version of clockwork. Then it worked :)

What is your experience regarding call quality? I personally find the earpiece us truly awful. On the other hand, the other part seems to be satisfied of the reception.
[Android Apps and Games] BootsSiR:
Hi everyone,

I've been working on a multiplayer game for a little while now and it's about to the point where I need to get some more people using it. It's called Navy Wars and it's a turn based game where you try to take out your opponents fleet.

Here are a few screen shots:

The game is a work in progress, so there will be bugs and there will be changes. It was developed on a Nexus S, a Nexus One and a Nook Color. It hasn't had much exposure on other devices yet, so this should be a good test. If you run into any crashes, please email as much detail as you can to navywars@dogsbyte.net and also use the built in crash reporter being as detailed as you can be when submitting a report.

I think the game is pretty straight forward to play. If you register, post your username here so others can challenge you.

A few notes:

Just a heads up before you install the game, take note that it does use Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data as well it can also send anonymous error reports to the server if an unexpected error occurs.

Also, this being a beta, there will be a reset of stats before the game goes public.

The final version will have a few undecided limitations with the option of purchasing the full game.

The beta version requires permissions to access your logs in the case of a crash!

Where to download

Live in Android Market

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.boots.betelgeuse

Edit: The game requires at least Android 2.2

This looks like Battleship. I'll try it out!
[Android Apps and Games] pizzaforbreakfast:
Mentioned some things in game chat, but another would be possibly some kind of fix so you can spin a ship if it's on the edge of the board.
[Android Apps and Games] BootsSiR:
My name is Boots in the game if anyone is looking for a match. I'll try and play as many games as I can :)
[Android Apps and Games] BootsSiR:
You can drag it to "open water" and rotate it :D
[Android Apps and Games] Blou_Aap:
It is kind of funny that BootsSiR tried really hard not to mention that it's Battleship (well sort of).

You don't have to worry really, the game has never been properly patented (Hasbro own the board-game though).

Just Don't call it Battle Ships (Easy enough). Cool thing it's the same turn based style like words with friends and Wordfeud,

you are definitely onto something here, wish I could test and try it on my tablet (Honeycomb) but the link seems to be down :(.

EDIT: tried link via my 3G and it worked.

EDIT 2: Can't create Account. It doesn't matter what username I want to use, It's never available and won't let me

continue creating an account :(
[Android Apps and Games] BootsSiR:
Make sure your username is at least two characters long and is only letters and numbers. Let me know if that works :)
[Android Apps and Games] BootsSiR:
Received a few good detailed error reports but a lot of ones with no user comments. Please leave as much detail as you can!

The app now sends a brief logcat capture when you submit a crash report. This code will be gone in the final version but it'll help me troubleshoot problems.

Ships will now turn red if you try to move them and they can't move.

[Android Apps and Games] Crash1912:
I gave this a try last night and played a game with Wayne.

Really liked the game and love the idea, I did however find some issues as I was playing.

One suggestion I would like to add is the ability to play against a computer if you are pressed for time or some place where you don't have good Wifi/Data coverage. I also noticed there is no way to disable to sounds, I generally like to do that on most games I play. I did figure out I could turn down the media volume but then need to remember to turn it back up later for anything that needs it.

I was playing this on my rooted HTC Legend running CM7. First thing I noticed was that when I was adding a friend to attack. The box for the name and buttons were being cut off, see screenshot attached.

The other thing I noticed was that it didn't show me the 'Enemy Accuracy' / 'Fleet Strength' / 'Accuracy' / 'Hits' levels for some reason.

Other than that it was really good and I enjoyed it. Going to try playing some more to identify issues.
[Android Apps and Games] BootsSiR:
There is an options screen in the works to control volume/notifications. I'll have to look into why the buttons are cut off on that screen like that. Single player will also come in a future version! I appreciate the feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] Crash1912:
Anytime, great game and great work. Keep it coming!
[Android Apps and Games] BootsSiR:

I have a question that is more technical. How did you decide to implement the multiplayer? I am researching the best way to implement turn based multiplayer for my game and any help would be appreciated :)

in your debian chroot, change your dns server to googles public dns server... (edit /etc/resolv.conf) Full internet will then work without a tethering plan in the debian chroot in webtop.

I would think the same thing would work from within the andriod OS... but it doesnt.
[Omnia 7 General] egyfox85:
The Samsung Omnia 7, the first Windows Phone of Samsung mobile will get a update to Mango.

This version will bring some new things to your device!

SamFirmware asked Maarten Sonneveld about the Omnia 7.

SamFirmware: @WindowsPhoneNL Hi will the Omnia 7 get Mango update?

WindowsPhoneNL: @SamFirmware Yes!

The update will come allround the autumn for the Omnia 7.

http://twitter.com/#!/WindowsPhoneNL

Today we also show a new CODE: GT-I8710.

This could be a new Windows Phone.

Hopefully Samsung will bring more Windows Phone devices.

Samsung is with only 1 phone one of the biggest players on the WP market thanks to the great hardware and absolute nice design.
