Recently I was waiting til the new Samsung Galaxy tab was officially announced to see if it would come with sd card and/or usb....which it didnt so now i dont know what i want...I dont want to acer iconia because it just looks ugly...and same thing for the transformer...they both just look like ugly devices to me..so my only other pick is the Moto Xoom which i actually like the way it looks. But is the Xoom worth the purchase...i hear its a lil slow and jerky...has the 3.1 update fixed that issue?? and does the sd card slot work now??
[Xoom General] Perfects:
I own a XOOM and my brother has a Transformer. While I agree them Xoom looks better and is more sturdy, I'd much rather the transformer. The included keyboard is a big plus, as well as the built in usb otg connection.

Edit - forgot to mention how very unimpressed everyone outside of the US is with Moto and its approach to updating the Xoom. Also, not a squawk about why its taking so long.
[Xoom General] jase33:
I think you should just go with what you like. The xoom has a keyboard case now. And as for Moto, updates will come when they come. Most people have rooted and updated anyway. There is plenty of support on XDA for whatever you get. You could always wait and see what comes out in the next few months. Newer processors, different screens, and even support from software companies. Remember you dont have to rush, take your time and make decisions you will be happy with.
[Xoom General] timo2387:
But is the XOOM still laggy?? and for rooted users are there good roms out that take full advantage of the processors?
[Xoom General] eliteone:
Well, thanks to brd, I've got my xoom overclocked and running stable at 1.7 and I have to say with the 3.1 upgrade, even at stock speeds the xoom is smoooooth as silk. I had the iconia and promptly returned it as the bootloader is locked, and the still have released no source code. Full custom roms won't come till I cream sandwich with any android tablet, as Google won't release the honeycomb source code. But owning a xoom, I am pretty sure it will be one of the first to get the upgrade, just as it was the first with 3.1
[Xoom General] lrs421:
Well said, I completely agree. The Xoom is the best tablet for "me" and I've owned a few.
[Xoom General] freddyfromutah:
I've had mine for two weeks, I absolutely love it. I have no idea why people are so down on it! I had the acer iconia for a week beforehand, the body was pulling apart, the screen was awful and the shape was just... odd. I trust motorola to make quality products, not just software, that was a huge plus for me. As for the USB and SD card, with google music out now, are you really going to put 32+ gigs worth of info on your tablet?

I use mine for college text books, email, surfing, file transfer, etc and have yet to be even close to disappointed. I don't have any experience with the transformer, but given my experience with a less than quality build of the acer, I would be worried about the quality of the asus as well, just my two cents.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
Yes, actually the 32 gig expansion would be awesome. I don't want to be forced into paying for Google music just to have a good list of music access able. Then on top of that pay verizon for the data transfer to listen to my own music. I know I can root for it, but initially I wasn't going to root till after the 4g upgrade. I'm rather disappointed, maybe I confused myself expecting to have the SD work soon, and having 4g before any other tablet, but I'm pretty sure I was just mislead.
[Xoom General] nooomoto:
The great thing about the Xoom is the AOSP experience. It's unfettered Android. All the other devices have each respective company's own flavor of Android which is something I, and many others hate. As with other devices that are AOSP, it will probably get all the updates much sooner than other devices.

When the Xoom came out I was determined to get it, because I'm a tech-whore and needed to have a device with Honeycomb. When I finally got around to purchasing the Wifi version upon it's release, I found myself wondering what exactly I was going to do with this thing...I couldn't figure it out. Now I use it all the time. I don't regret spending the $600 one bit.
[Xoom General] eurotiko:
had the Xoom for 5 days now, was a little aprehensive with what I'd read about the screen and lag but I'm so glad I took the plunge. I'm running 3.1 stock on an untouched Xoom, I have no issues with lag and everything is super smooth. I wanted it for surfing, games, comics and video and it is fantastic at these. I'd been using my wife's Ipad for a while and the Xoom just knocks the spots of it in all areas.
[Xoom General] willverduzco:
The slow and jerky performance is still here, but that appears to extend to ALL honeycomb tablets. Also, this only happens in portrait and upside down orientations. Absolutely no choppiness in my experience with a static background in regular landscape.

Try it for yourself... 0 deg is completely smooth. 180, 90, -90 are all choppy. Do yourself a favor and only use I in native orientation, heh.

Aside from that minor niggle, honeycomb, and the xoom as a whole, are absolute dreams. Coming from a particular competing product, as well as two hacked Android tablets, I can say that the xoom is the first time I've been satisfied with the tablet concept.

Buy one; you won't regret it. After all, you can always return it if you're not crazy about it.

PS. With bigrushdog's kernel, you can use SD.
[Xoom General] MikeyMike01:
Absolutely avoid the Xoom. Unless you enjoy paying too much, no updates at all, lack of support, non-functional hardware, etc.

It's incredibly heavy and bulky. The touch screen is not too responsive, and theres significant motion blur, notably on red.

It's also very slow. For my money you'd be better off waiting for quad core tablets. These phone processors simply can't cut it on a larger screen.

Not to mention the Xoom 2 leak.

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Xoom General] jerses:
I say... avoid everything with android 3.0 and beware of 3.1 tablets. why? because there are only about 40 apps that are optimized for honeycomb...optimized not full supported. Its strange for me that big companies arent excited about supporting tablet format (maybe the fact that we are only %0.3 of the users). Also the games that are suppossed optimized for tegra 2 are old apps from the ipad with a little light effects or glom ,etc. but the gameplay still laggy as in the ipad.

Also i like to say that the 3.1 update is a kick in the balls for users and devs. I purchased every game that it has come out from gameloft and they stop wrking after the update, only asphalt 6 after a patch gameloft send me. >Then they send me a link that they werent responsible for faulty updates...and they are right. I downloaded xmen arcade and it happens the same. try reset, hardreset and everything and nothing, support told me to wait for them to fix it or wait for google to fix it...its just the update that messed with games and apps.

My advice if you still going to buy....buy the transformer, they give you more for the money and your not missing anything the xoom have.
[Xoom General] BLACK-ICE:
If your trying to get into the android tablets, then I would say the Xoom is very nice or the transformer has a attachment to a key bored, How I went on of buying one was I was comparing it to the iPad 2 and I'm a sucker when it comes to lil features like the camera Is way better on the Xoom (Front and Back) The stereo speaker is also a major plus, I like how to plug it to my TV all I needed was a 8$ Mini hdmi wire, Pretty sleek body, the 32gigs of space is plenty I can't seem to even fill 5Gigs of space, Idk why people are crying for the SD slot so much, Just root it and install the kernal, No hacking is required for the Xoom just get what you want and be done. My own thing I don't like about android in general, is their apps. but its w/e

also on the new 3.1, there is next to no lag or you can hack it and make it speedier its all up to you.
[Xoom General] timo2387:
Thanks I think i'm going to pick up the Xoom soon! Man Samsung ALMSOT had me sold....they always seem to **** SOMETHING up...its like they can't have their cookie and eat it too, something always have to give....**** they better start eating them cookies lol.. Oh well XOOM it is..
[Xoom General] ShotgunPR:
Oh yes, definitely!

Had mine for almost 3 weeks and for me, this is the best $600 investment I've done. Touch screen response is excellent, I have yet to experience any lags and it feels (in regards to quality and workmanship) every bit as I expected it to be. In some aspects, it has even surpassed my expectations in performance and battery life! Not regretting in any sense the money spent and all the accessories I got for it (leather portfolio case, car charger, mini HDMI cable).

At work, I had the opportunity to play with iPads, iPads 2, Playbooks and I do not regret my decision to go with the Xoom. Everything I need to do I can do with it, that was one of the considerations I made while "checking out" all the alternatives out there and I'm really happy with the end result. Using it daily for EVERYTHING, it complements my HTC G2 phone perfectly and can't hardly put it down.
[Xoom General] matt310:
The xoom is a great device but I don't like that there are two types of screens, neither of which are as good as the in-plane switching TFT design or the PLS in the new samsungs. Vertical viewing angles on the xoom are subpar, especially for the price point, in my opinion.

The light leakage issues on all these tablets is also a concern of mine and seems to be directly related to QC issues with the panel manufacturers.
[Xoom General] crisisinthecity:
Im on week 3. This Xoom wifi is my first tablet but I played with them all and liked the xoom better. I love it. I think the market will come with time. Devs are starting to get into honeycomb. There are a few software quirks with exchange 2003 and FB,for instance, for me, but I have no lag at all and I love this machine.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
This $500 Xoom sales is still ticking..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250829943160
[Xoom General] gogol:
If you are in the US, then maybe.

Otherwise avoid Xoom at all cost.

Also if you don't mind paying overpriced device with non functioning hardware and promised hardware upgrade which is not happened after couple of months.
[Xoom General] Kippui:
If you look at the other forums you hear people complaining about various issues.

With the xoom, you hardly hear people complaining about lag/software glitches/hardware in the general section of other tablets.

But then again I got mine as a present...

I would say for $500 deals jump on it!
[Xoom General] MikeyMike01:
The overtly malicious atmosphere chased people away. I stopped posting in the Xoom forum because you can't have an opinion other than "The Xoom is God's Gift to Mankind. All Hail Motorola the Almighty!". It's like a damn Apple cult.
[Xoom General] timo2387:
I think the Xoom will be a good device I just dont want to regret it.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
@OP

You worry too much.

Buy it. Try it. If you don't like it, return it. Simple.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Sometimes you just have to make a decision--you can jump on the Xoom now or wait for something theoretically better. Maybe you will be happy with your choice if you wait, but you will not have a tablet to play and learn with in the meantime.

I think the Xoom has a great development community and lots of early adopter/beta testers (like myself) who will make sure that they will tweak and squeeze as much goodness out of the hardware as possible. I think it's got a pretty long lifetime as these things go.
[Xoom General] je2345:
I purchased my Xoom the day it came out for Verizon and have loved it up until the BB Playbook came out and have now only touched my Xoom twice. I am now selling my Xoom as iam just not happy with the size and the lag that it has. I shouldn't have to overclock (it is Oc'ed) to 1.4 just for it to run smooth. My next tablet will most likely be the HP Touchpad depending on when Palm 3 comes out for vzw. Will always have my thunderbolt tho for an android phone.
[Defy General] TieuKim:
Does anyone meet this problem ?

While I press power button to turn of screen for than 1' sleep, then turn on screen again then open wifi. Immediately, my Defy get restart.

I tried to flash some rom, and it is still failure.

My Defy is Korean version with green camera len.

How to fix this problem...? Thanks

I had a the Sony DRBT100CXS that were great until I put them in the washing machine! And yes, it had music controls.

Funny, my SonyEricsson MH-100 that was bundled with Aino went through the washer as well. But still works fine and has music controls also. It didn't want to start in the beginning, but I left it in the charger for a day or so and it has been working fine ever since.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] Mesho Arc:
MW600 for sure, I have since I bought the arc, good sound quality.

[Xperia Arc Accessories] Someguyfromhell:
Because 2011 Xperia phones do not have the built-in Bluetooth function, which would send song title to MW600.

CyanogenMod ROMs have that feature, as that ROM's bluetooth modules are custom.

if you get a chance to try an HD7 for yourself and compare the lcd with the focus you will see some Ghosting on the HD7 when flicking the screen in the Home and App screen much like comparing a 60hz lcdtv to a 120hz lcdtv

i thought the tmobile display i played with in the store was defective because i could clearly see a ghosting effect which has been confirmed by friends of mine who own the HD7

now that pentile display driver is easier to bear with
[General Questions and Answers] xakuvo:
I recently purchased an Ericsson X8 E15a and i have been listening to mp3 through i quite frequently, Ive read online that the radiation emitted by a phone will travel through the wire of the headset and cone it directly into your ear canal, is this true when listening to mp3? streaming radio? is it true? what do you all think about SAR emissions? does it worry you that 10 years down the road our generation might have an exponentially increased chance of brain cancer? much like after the 40's-60's smoking buzz. curious.

[General Questions and Answers] marose1:
I have a Samsung Captivate from ATT with Froyo (Android 2.2). I am using a T-Mobile prepay Sim Card with the phone (no 3G/data plan). I have rooted and unlocked the phone, and initially (for several days) the phone worked perfectly without problems.

I took a trip from the US to Vancouver, and while in Vancouver, I texted back and forth a few times to the US and made one phone call (Rogers Network) without problems, using data roaming. When I returned to the US, my problem began. I can still text without problems, but when I make a phone call, my reception consists of mostly or all static through the earpiece, speakerphone or earphones. The person on the other end can hear me perfectly, but I receive static. I also receive static when I dial up voice mail. My earpiece and earphones work OK with music and voice recordings.

There have been a couple of occasions where the static went away and I do not know the reasons for this (the static later returned). Other than the static, I have no other apparent problems with the phone.

I have tried a factory reset and that did not correct the problem. I also installed the simcard from my husband's iphone, and the problem was the same (static on reception). I was wondering what else I could try to correct the problem. Should I reinstall Froyo? How would I do that with a rooted and unlocked phone?
