[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImHuge07:
When I power on the phone the boot screen is fine and the screen you get when holding power and vol down but then any other screen, including clockwork, is all scrambled with different colors and has streaks and is all glitchy to the point where I can't do anything because I can't see what I'm doing.

It started out as a minor thing that would happen mainly when I opened the keyboard(the screen would glitch a little and be off centered) but it would fix by turning the screen of and back on. Now its unusable.

I booted the phone holding power and down vol and cleared storage but that didn't fix anything.

Is the phone bricked?

Same thing happened to my sons slide and it ended up being his flex cable, had to replace it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImHuge07:
Whats a flex cable?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimczyz:
It connects the LCD screen to the motherboard in the phone. I picked one up for 35.00 and followed a video of how to replace it and it has been fine since.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImHuge07:
Hmmm i wonder if it's worth it to fix. I upgraded to a Sensation and was going to sell the mytouch on ebay or something but probably can't get very much for it.
[Gen8 General] Zoidpilot:
Well... I guess its about time.

I'm selling my Archos 101t. I'm moving on to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 :).

I have to say, I will miss you guys in this secton... It's been fun, and Mr Clown is moderating an awesome Forum. Thanks to everyone who has ever helped me in this section and thanks to all the Devs working on the Gen 8 devices. I figure this post will end up in the "Trash" section anyway, but I just want it to be known that I loved my Archos, and I had a great time and that I'm thankful for all you guys who decided to throw caution into the wind, and tweak their hard-earned devices into the perfect Android in their eyes along with me.

For now I'll be in the Supersonic Evo forums (soon to be in Evo3D forums:cool:)

and of course soon to be in the Galaxy Tab forums as well.

btw, here's my post in the marketplace in case anyone is interested:

[Motorola Droid X2] ryoxsinfar:
How much memory do you guys generally see as "available" when you first start up your phone. I generally have 160-180mb of supposedly "used" memory. This is after a root and almost all possible bloatware being removed. Normally I would just figure it'll be freed up when I need it but I have had such issues playing Dungeon Defenders which is memory intensive. Sometimes it plays smooth as a champ, other times it stutters a lot. Other times it freezes during load times.

So is all that memory available and it'll just free it when it needs it? Or is that number unusually high?

Oh also my comic book viewer will force close sometimes on some images, even with its options set to use less memory, and I don't think it takes hundreds of MB of ram to open a zipped 500kb image. Then again I could be wrong.
[Motorola Droid X2] veeeee:
Memory is used differently on Android than on your PC. Just because you have 100+ megabytes of available memory doesn't mean an application can use all of it. Each app has a hard limit of how much RAM it can use, which I believe is around 16mb but differs from device to device.

If you experience issues when running a game I would check to see what background services are running at the time that could be using up CPU cycles.

I know HTC is gonna release an ota for bootloader unlock ..I'm from India and i'm thinking of buying the phone in US and when i go back to India how do i get the OTA update???

Or IS there other method to update the phone through PC??

Or is it that i cannot update at all ...

PS: If u want to delet this thread , atleast PM me the answer before doing so ..:(
[HTC Sensation] borodin1:
OTA, if one is released, will come to you no matter where you are. Even if it doesn't get to you over the air by official means, copies will certainly surface here and you will be able to apply it manually. HOWEVER, there is no guarantee that HTC will release such an update. They never said anything officially about Sensation or EVO 3D, they only stated that they will not be locking bootloaders on future devices so for now it's all speculation.

[Xoom General] keitht:
Not sure if there is any truth to this, but check out this article from Android Police and judge for yourself:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...-day-one-7-tablet-support-bug-fixes-and-more/
[Xoom General] mazodude:
looks good, if it is anything like that describe it.

It should make the xoom soooo much better.
[Xoom General] nubsors:
Really? Because I didn't get that impression at all from the article. The impression I got is that it adds support to smaller devices, qualcom processors and an update to the video editing app. That doesn't really qualify as "soooo much better" in my mind.
[Xoom General] lostboy702:
It took just a couple mouse clicks and I was able to learn that 3.2 is for the smaller (e.g. 7") screen and 3.1 is for the larger (e.g. 10") screen tablets, beyond that there is no significant difference.

Remember.......Google is your friend.
[Xoom General] RampageRR:
I guess if it is true, at least it'd get us closer to the possibility of source code being released since they would have taken care of the smaller tablet size porting issue.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
From the ThisIsMyNext post, the main benefit is different res & CPU support (well, QualComm at least). It supposedly also improves "hardware acceleration," which would be a perk for existing Teg2 devices. But apparently, any substantive improvement will come in ICS.

My impression is that HC is a ICS beta, released early so that Android vendors can establish a tablet market this year against the iPad juggernaut. One wonders if that means ICS can at least make Q4, or if it will miss the Xmas shopping season altogether. If it's pushed to 2012, and assuming Win8 beta gets good reception come Sept, Android may have a steeper path to adoption than envisioned.
[Xoom General] ghoticx:
There is nothing "to die for" in the upgrade...
[Xoom General] e.mote:
3.1 wasn't a major upgrade either, but it was still welcomed. As it stands, 3.1 is still a mixed bag, which is born out in lackluster sales. 3.2 reportedly will be in time for back-to-school, and hopefully will make Android tabs presentable enough to be a viable competitor to the iPad.
[Xoom General] qwerp_:
"As for timing, we’re told that current tablets like the Motorola Xoom will get the update in the “next few weeks,” with new seven-inch tablet hardware to follow in August."

here we go with the term next few weeks...

its going to be next few months again before we even sees it..
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
Ok - that's great - we don't know what other additions are thrown in to 3.2 but the major thing is support for more processors and smaller sized screens - knowing Google they have probably thrown in heaps of other little minor changes...

like 3.1 which was touted as loads of bugfixes? then throw in that usb host and xbox controller goodness and bluetooth mouse stuff...

let's just wait and see what officially gets announced as 'fixed' or 'upgraded' in the 3.2 announcements...

also is this the first time an Android OS has gone through three (major?) revisions, from 3.0 (-> 3.0.1) -> 3.1 -> 3.2

I think if I recall wasn't Eclair 2.0 and 2.1 ?
[Xoom General] Psychokitty:
This should have been the title of your thread. Or, perhaps more accurately, "I didn't bother to research this because I care much more about being the first to post hearsay than about the validity of my posts."
[Xoom General] rschenck:
I think we can assume this is pretty well confirmed, due to the recent announcements of 7 inch Honeycomb tablets by Huawei and Acer. 3.2 seems to be basically a maintenance release aimed at setting up the infrastructure for ICS. Google needed to get the 7 inch tablets on the same version as the 10 inchers so that they can focus on phone integration in ICS.

However the news is not all 7 inch focused. I think hardware acc. improvements is good news for the Xoom and other larger tablets and I am sure there will be general improvements and performance tweaks. I would expect to see other fixes related to the recent movie rental abilities of non-rooted tablets.

While not a world shaking update it will be welcome to US Xoomers, and I for one am already looking acquisitively at the 7 inch Iconia tablets running HC3.2 that Acer has announced.

As for Euro Xoom users, can we hope that Moto decided to just jump 3.1 and focus on a 3.2 Euro update?

...

Nah, me neither.
[Xoom General] burden010:
I'm sure that line will be bandied about but I don't know if there's any truth in it. Tbh, I'm sure BRD and the rest of Team Tiamat will have the update ready for us before Moto even think about a Euro release. /sigh.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Nice contribution to the thread.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
I had the A100 on my radar since 10" is too large for my preference, but its announced specs were disappointing. It has half the RAM (512MB vs 1GB), half the storage (8GB vs 16GB), and half the battery capacity (1530mAh vs 3260mAh) of the A500.

http://www.blognotes.in/compare-acer-iconia-tab-a100-vs-iconia-tab-a500/

At USD$350, it's only $50 less than the Asus TF, which for the Acer brand is grossly overpriced. Acer's waffling Android support is also worrying. It's going for the shotgun approach and sees what sticks, releasing a ChromeOS laptop and a Win7 (Iconia W500) tablet at the same time. Yet it has cut its tablet sales projection by 60% for 2011. Not exactly a vote of confidence in Android.

Another downer is that when it comes out in Q3, the Tegra 2 will be close to the end of its short life cycle. And if ICS shows up in Q4, then it's a triple-whammy of outdated hardware & OS, and halfhearted vendor support. Imagine getting a Teg2 in Jul/Aug, and 3 months later, ICS pops out the chute with the quadcores in tow.

I suppose it boils down to whether it serves one's immediate needs. But too many consumers will buy into these things expecting continued support, and disappointment then ensues, as to wit here.

Weirdly enough, I'm actually looking forward to seeing the Vizio 8" specs, as I like the 4:3 format anyway. If it sports 1024x768 with 3.2 and anything other than the Teg2, it's on my short list.
[Xoom General] rschenck:
The Vizio is an interesting option...since I really want something in the 7ish size bracket and the Galaxy Tab and HTC Flyer strike me as steps back in terms of OS with 2.2 and 2.3.

As for Huawei....I have too much experience with Huawei's build quality across their overstretched industries to actually pay my own money for their products.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
I'm sure the GalTab 7" will be updated for this year, as Samsung is all-in for the Android effort. Ditto HTC. Once 3.2 hits, I think we'll see new products (or updates) from both.

It's the PC vendors like Asus, Dell, and Acer that Android is more of an iffy proposition. They have strong existing relationships with Microsoft, and will likely be Win8 launch partners. If I were in their shoes, I'd be biding my time for Win8--if its schedule doesn't slip of course.

Huawei...reportedly the 7" is going through carrier channels only. Not a mass-market item. It has no presence in the US anyway.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
Motorola will probably say they were waiting for the 3.2 release before pushing an update out to the 3.0.1 non-US models.... :p

although you'd start to hope that 3.2 actually comes out with the sdcard fix by now - in a few more months its not going to be worth it with ICS coming out probably with, like the rest of the 3.x tablets, a working sdcard slot
[Xoom General] robbiev80:

[Xoom General] Lothaen:

I haven't 'rooted' + new kernel (but I have flashed US rom on UK wifi) because I don't need the sd support - it'd be nice if it was there - I could stick my old 8gb sd from my htc blackstone in it - but other than that - I'm fine as it is at the moment with 3.1

Improve Multitasking? Any thoughts on how? didn't they improve multitasking a fair bit in 3.1? apart from literally having them side-by-side I can't think of a way to improve it much more off the top of my head? Although having them side-by-side might be cool, but then that's like having Windows...

I'm a UK model Xoom owner too (in Malta) and wondering if the process to flash the US rom onto it was at all painful? I have rooted an htc wildfire before, but it seemed a lot easier than what i'm reading for the xoom... plus the hardware was cheap compared to the xoom... really wouldnt want to throw away over 500quid of hardware cos its bricked

Do you have any advice for me or links to go to for newbie-ish instructions?

Thanks!
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
You can't increase the brightness, that's hardware.

Multitasking is fine, do you want a card view or something?

Honeycomb has been fully GPU accelerated from the start, it's up to developers to enable it in each application.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
Flashing the US images is as easy as unlock, flash from fastboot, if wifi only. I didn't go as far flashing a custom kernel

The bits I did are on the moto website where the images are
[Xoom General] jdavid_t:
a) Brightness and color saturation can be tuned by the OS. Look on the Internet for a nexus update that did so.

b) Multitasking can always be improved. Not maybe on the user-interface, but internally in the OS to keep applications running more efficiently.

c) Turn your screen so your Moto logo is on the bottom and try to switch among screens. You see the lag? That is something Google said it would be addressing, and I think that's the GPU acceleration is about.

[Xoom General] vamp6x6x6x:
All I really want is for them to fix the sd card slot, make it so mass storage devices(500GB and up hard drives) will work, and make the rotation from portrate to landscape better. Anything else would just be a bonus.
