Yea. I feel ya man. It feels dead. I felt the same way but the radio and some rom update seems Alive bbut I only want the new and still waiting for bamf.. but finally saw pr3 so gonna jump on that boat.

I'm seeing lots of new ROMs and some with accompanying radios. Yesterday I installed the Chingy MR2 radio and Gingeritis IX, and all works great, no reboots.

Right now I'm downloading Th3ory of Ginger and and Th3ory3.0CandyV3, and those came with an MR2 radio, so it looks like things are all clear now? I gotta get my flash fix !

Feel free to start learning how to write and hack code, otherwise wait patiently and quit posting threads asking even if it's in a way that tries to be polite :).

Unless you've had experience in writing code, it's hard to understand why things take so long so just imagine you're given a huge pile of parts and only half the directions to put it together (given the half from android and missing the half from htc, which htc was also nice enough to put in a format you cant easily read without translating). Your family keeps asking you "are you done yet??? You say no, it'll be done when it's done. So yeah. Working on a sense based android phone is sort of like that in the best way I can give a metaphor in non technical terms.

Easy now killer... I was just trying to see what was going on with everything. Am I not allowed to wonder what is going on?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
It's okay to wonder, sure. However, dont you think someone would post something if there was something new in the developers forum? Developers might hate being asked when something will be out, but the one thing developers like to tell the world about is something new and shiny they just made.

Just from my experience, the only people that can really pester a developer about when something should be done are paying clients. Even those get annoying, because developers sort of have a pet peeve against giving a set deadline since things generally don't go according to plan, especially when you cant estimate the project scope for something like android.

Might not agree with me and I'm relatively new to developing on android and haven't coded/hacked anything impressive enough to show yet, but I have linux development experience on other platforms and can just say how developers feel from my own experience of working with clients and free advice/work I've given elsewhere.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] load97:
X2. I agree
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feedhead:
Wondering is fine but you might not have posted this if you read the dev forums. Plenty is going on so just your perception is at a stand still.

I just bought my Thunderbolt yesterday...and I'm coming from the Samsung Mesmerize. The difference in dev support is like night and day. Dev support was half the reason I bought the Thunderbolt. Keep up the good work guys.
[Xoom General] TX2000:
i was looking at the dissasembled xoom and for those who overclock there is a posibility that we can use the back cover as a huge heatsink by just putting in some heat tranfer materias on the cpu/gpu so it can make contact. Does it heat that much? i am wasting my time?
[Xoom General] bilago:
I am OC'd at 1.6 ghz and my Xoom has not gotten warm.
[Xoom General] double1:
If it gets hot just turn down the cpu. I think that with the right ROM, running @1ghz is going to be fine. Adding insulation to the heatsink is only going to mask the problem.
[Xoom General] TX2000:
ill check the temps with the cover off.. so far i can run @1.6 stable
[Xoom General] TX2000:
the cpu is under a metal cover that is soldered to the board. and it doesnt touch the cpu because you can press on it and you feel when it touches it. lets see if i dont damage it when i remove it.. all pray with me :-)
[Xoom General] TX2000:
here are some pics of the us wifi xoom
[Xoom General] blackte4:
I just watch 2 hours of tekzilla and hak 5. It never got hot and play great. I'm rooted 1.6ghz n loving it.
[Xoom General] Turkawa:
i have seen 37.8 C max at 1.6 interactive. I dont know if its too much or normal.

Must be ok. But the problem is i failed to find any kind of software to monitor the cpu heat.

I can only monitor the battery heat..
[Xoom General] p2flol:
i've reached 42 so it's okay :)
[Xoom General] TX2000:
operation break the xoom is on hold.... wife stole it for the day :mad:
[Xoom General] TX2000:
operation break the xoom done :D its running @ 1.7 stable .. now im using the back cover as a heatsink and it actually gets pretty warm in that area.. so far so good .. will uplad pics later ..
[Xoom General] TX2000:
here is the picture.. yeah yeah it appeared that i bit it with my teeth .. didnt found my dremmel cutting disk so i had to improvise.. as you see i put in a thermal pad that's connect to the back cover and use it as a heat-sink

5 hours @ 1.7 and rocking hard!
[Xoom General] Alxoom33:
I don't have overheating problems, but I can only run at 1.6. At 1.7 I get reboots, even with the new Tiamat 1.0 Rom.

I saw a pretty cool stick-on carbon fiber decal/cover protector, but I am afraid that If I cover the back, the Xoom will overheat.:eek:

What do you think??:confused:
[Xoom General] TX2000:
i dont think it will overheat it because the cpu dont touch the back cover
[Xoom General] e.mote:
Since ARM has on-demand frequency scaling, are you sure you are running at 1.7 all the time? Did you actually lock the freq at 1.7, or is that a ceiling?
[Xoom General] TX2000:
i just locked both sliders to 1.7

btw is not battery friendly :D
[Xoom General] Alxoom33:
why would you lock at 1.7?? Except when Benchmarking???'

I think that you will ruin your processor if you keep it up, even with better cooling. The processor is just not made to run at 1.7 full time.:eek:
[Xoom General] Alxoom33:
Thanks, but that's not my concern. What I am worried about is that the case will act as an insulator and not allow heat to dissipate through the back cover.:)
[Xoom General] TX2000:
i locked just to see if it wa stable.. and so far so good. and for the back cover there are no worries because it wont make any diference.. im the one using it as a heat sink
[Xoom General] e.mote:
Did you run a CPU-intensive benchmark for the 5 hrs? That's the only way to tell if it's stable.

Good to see someone willing to get his hands dirty with a mod. I have to say, though, that the +0.1GHz added speed is probably not worth invalidating the device warranty. Not sure why you have to cut the alum shield as opposed to simply removing it. Then, you'd have the option of reversing the mod if you ever need to RMA.

Anyway, onto the next mod: how to boost your wifi range.
[Xoom General] TX2000:
i cut it because it is soldered to the board and for desolder it i could damage something with the heat..

the shield is separated from the cpu about 3mm so it was easier to cut.. now im working on modding the dock to get usb output
[Xoom General] TX2000:
ok still testing and everything ok.. now is @ max 1.7 and min 216 :D

and also i modded my docking (someone already did) so i can connect my xi xoom to the computer while in the station .. i passed the usb cable inside the audio out port. ( that is already disabled by this mod)
[Xoom General] Alxoom33:
Nice work! It's interesting that you can run at 1.7 all day. When I run at 1.7 and try to browse, I usally get a hard reebooooot. I had to turn it down to 1.6.

III also get irritatinnnnnnnnnng repeaats with my bluetooth keyboard tthat haveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee to be editedddddd. (see)

Any fix to eiiiiiiither condition??:confused:
[Xoom General] taylorjr:
Nice... will have to try. Can you show a picture of the modded dock inside?
[Xoom General] REHolt218:
Nice work. I'm only stable at 1.6 as it is, I guess this would be an option to push it all the way to the limit. At work (I'm an electrical engineer) we have some blue goo that dispenses as a thick liquid and then firms up. It is used for heat transfer for just this sort of thing. I'm thinking I could force it into the hole in the CPU cover and then put some on top as well. Once I put the case back together it would heat sink to the case.
[Xoom General] TX2000:
nice i think that will work too and will be easier to do instead of biting it off hehehe..

for picture of the inside of the dock . ill try to get some but i already assembled it and glued the rubber >< .. anyways ill try to get it off..
[Xoom General] Kippui:
What can you do at 1.7 that you can't do at 1.6?
[Xoom General] TX2000:
is not just to run it at 1.7 .. i was just checking if that overclock problem was a cooling situation , and it was. right now i am @ stock speed .

anyways 1.7 i think is overkill but heh we all want more speed.
[Xoom General] TX2000:
here is a picture i took of the inside with the cable passed trough the audio connector.. as you can see i simply spliced the cable and soldered to the new one.. just matching the colors.
[Xoom General] bilago:
I don't recommend having the xoom in the kitchen
[Xoom General] TX2000:
Lol
[Xoom General] Almighty1:
TX2000, I have a question for you. After you use the T5 to take out the two screws where the charging ports are, the cover slides only half way and then it locks, what did you use and how did you get the cover to continue sliding all the way?
[Xoom General] TX2000:
To get it out you need to use something to get off the locks. I used a nilon strap. Slide it where the back cover slides to release it. I think there is a guide on the net with pictures. Ill look for it when i get home.
[Xoom General] TX2000:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Xoom-Teardown/4989/1

here is the link
[Xoom General] Almighty1:
The link you posted was how I figured out how to open the thing. What is a nylon strap? I just couldn't figure out what to use to get it off the locks or what the locks actually look like.
[Xoom General] TX2000:
Is a bent flat metal. And yes was a nylon strap. The lock is more like a hook
[Xoom General] Almighty1:
Thanks, I'll have to take another shot at it one of these days. Is nylon strap basically the nylon ties people use to tie cables, wires with?
[Xoom General] TX2000:
Yup those ones .. get one that fit the track

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] longhorniii:
Just got a myTouch 3G off of eBay. Great phone but It will not read my memory card or sim card. Was told there was a problem but not like this.

Phone Details

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.261

Can get into fastboot and hboot. It is running android 1.6

Phone will boot up just will not read sim card and keep getting the memory card has been unmounted. Is this a software problem? or a hardware problem? Have had some exp with the myTouch so If anyone can just point me In the right direction. Can It be fixed with It not reading memory card?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] longhorniii:
Can anyone at least tell me Is this a software problem? or a hardware problem? and can It be fixed via ADB because It won't read a memory card.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] longhorniii:
I can get Into fastboot usb via ADB. Can anyone tell me If anything can be done? Please
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hubh98:
To check whether it is a hardware problem or a software problem of the SD card reader is simple.

1. Make a gold card. You can use any HTC android phone to make it. It is SD card specific.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_Fender/1.2#Installation

2. Copy any zip file on the sd card, and rename it as SAPPIMG.zip. Don't use an real sappimg.zip.

3. Install the sd card. Volume down + Power button to enter HBOOT.

4. Wait to see if the phone can find the SAPPIMG.zip file.

If it finds the SAPPIMG.zip, it is not a hardware problem. Otherwise, I don't know for sure.

There will always be more information sent through the air than you can see.

I turn wifi off when i leave my house, put 3g on when needed(around 9 hours a day). pocket mode disabled and the option above it aswell(don't know it in english, have the dutch one) but the one that turns the volume down when picking the phone up, no auto-sync and that's it, but if you still have battery drain, you should change your radio and RIL to the ones it baadnwz.com's addons it has drastic effects;)

I'm on Cool Kingdom v7 (Sense 3.0) now. Flashed it 2 days ago along with my first ext4 partition:D

Used Oxygen for a long time but fel in love again with HTC Sync and skin.

Cool Kingdom is offcourse much laggier than Oxygen with is very very quick. Also the battery get's quite hot when using it (probably because overclocking). Must say the battery life is not as good as in Oxygen, wich i also wasn't expecting, but it is virtually thesame as in HTC Stock Froyo which I was running before rooting my phone 8 months back.
