[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ad78:
even they sell it for $450 i will not buy it. i had xoom for just a week and the problem is its so heavy, auto brightness sucks, screen washed-out. it has SD but it will take you a lot of effort to get work..(root, etc)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
I wouldnt buy the xoom even for $400. There is simply no reason to. Its bulky, the screen is washed out and has poor viewing angles. Micro sd card slot does not even work either. Tab 10 has all the same ports.

Even if you on a tight budget and really want a Honeycomb tablet you can get the transformer for $400 w/ IPS screen. No reason to buy the xoom.

Dont waste your money on a tablet with a junk screen like the xoom. Its the most important part of the device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Itaintrite:
Xoom vs SGT at same price. Should be an easy decision.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ansextra:
I originally had a Xoom but ended up returning it to Costco after 80 days (Costco allows 90 days). I liked my Xoom. I love my Galaxy! 'Nuff said.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dcc22:
xoom has a ****ty display. even the transformer ist much better.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BlackOtaku:
If the Xoom's screen is as lackluster and pathetic as the OG Droid's screen is (nice phone, but the screen is rather disappointing), I wouldn't touch the Xoom. A tablet is more or less a giant screen, so I'd make sure I got a good one.

IMO, OP, you're asking the wrong question. It's not Xoom vs. SGT 10.1. It's Asus Transformer vs. SGT 10.1. You'll get everything the Xoom has, only a better screen, working SD card and it's $100 cheaper than the Xoom and the SGT. The SGT 10.1 is a better finished product IMO, has the best screen and is more comfortable to use, while the Transformer has build quality issues and is less comfortable to use. But if more built-in functionality is important to you, $100 cheaper is almost reason enough to get the Transformer over the Xoom.

Basically: If you want a netbook replacement and don't need the absolute best tablet experience, or are on a budget, get the Transformer.

If you want the best Android tablet experience available and don't mind buying accessories for extra functionality, get the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Canadoc:
hmmm xoom with twice the storage hdmi and microsd slots while heavier and thicker it is dimensionally smaller. At 450 vs 600 for smae memory on gtab i would be thinking twice.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dcc22:
there is still the transformer. it's display is nice but it lacks build quality.

you can find gaps between the screen and frame.... :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] verusevo:
if the xoom were thinner and had a beter screen i would chose it over the tab. I really liked the build quality of the xoom(no knocks to the Tabs build). Plus im one of the few people who actually really appreciated the placement of the xooms power button. Plus its a google experience device so i know itll get regular updates
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ky0nkyon:
My gf just bought a transformer and the screen isn't bad at all. Granted, it is a little less colorful, it is a very beautiful screen. It also seems to be faster. I kinda have lingering doubts with my GT10.1, but both devices are great imho.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BlackOtaku:
Heh, I saw a Xoom on display at Best Buy Mobile... I felt like such a pathetic idiot while standing there for fifteen minutes trying to find the power button. I could have just Googled it from my phone, but I almost felt like that would be cheating! :p

I thought it was really ergonomic though when I did finally find it, if it hadn't seemed so out of the way to me at first. Guess it just shows how expectations can blind you from what's right in front of you!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Haas360:
So are you all saying the galaxy tab gas a better display? Hmmm I dream of the day with super AMOLED tabs ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] krips2003:
Yes, it has the best display and one other thing people forgot to mention, the speakers are awesome. I have xoom, thrive and GT 10.1 I just got these within this week for comparing and keeping the one I like. So far, even with those extra slot flaws, I'm still inclined towards the GTab 10.1. In fact, Thrive has edge over xoom in display quality.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] madsquabbles:
the xoom has a more responsive screen, so it feels a bit faster (even faster than the tf's response). i preferred the button on the back since it kept accidental powering down - i'm always turning on my gt10.1 when i don't want to. the transformer has a better screen only if you're lucky enough to get one with minimal bleed.
[HTC Sensation] EtherealRemnant:
Does anyone else have this problem and if so, is there a fix? My Sensation 4G is not automatically syncing GMail or Voice even though they are both set to sync automatically. I'm missing important messages and e-mails right now and I finally have it set up how I want it and I don't want to do a factory reset just to potentially have the problem again...
[HTC Sensation] djmaz:
Mine was, then I done this temp root thing and things seemed to go quiet. Then my phone started going rather laggy so I rebooted it (not hard reset) and bobs your uncle, everything is syncing as it should, which is rather worrying to me as to me it seemed my phone didnt like root, or temp root any way. But ye, if you have temp root try removing it and see if it helps
[HTC Sensation] mathrania:
well i dont know if it would work for you, but it did work for my brothers SE XPERIA ARC...

he had all the settings complete... but on the home screen, he had a power control widget with the option to control "auto-sync".it was turned OFF, though it was ON in the settings... so as he turned it on, the Gmail were being pushed at the instant...

no gurantees if it works for HTC, just give it a try.
[HTC Sensation] EtherealRemnant:
I'm not temprooted... it was working and then one day stopped. Now the irony is that Facebook notifications work which I've never seen one before on any other phone.

I checked the power control widget and syncing is turned on. :/
[HTC Sensation] recondo1202:
I'm also having a syncing issue but slightly different.

Beginning July 1, my Google Voice and HTC News Widget will not update. In addition, my calendar no longer shows all my appointments but they still exist when viewing my calendar via the web on a PC. I did not make any changes to my phone.

So far I have tried selecting and unselecting the auto synch options as well as individually going to the accounts & synch for each category, "News", "Stocks", "gmail", etc...

Any help is appreciated...

Thank you,
[HTC Sensation] EtherealRemnant:
Sounds like an unfortunate HTC bug. *sigh*

I have SIM unlocked my HTC Desire long time ago

where the original lock was for Telus.

Now my volume button does not work and I want to send it back to Telus/HTC

for fix and just to be 100% with the procedure I want to re-lock the SIM

back to telus

I have the unlock code which I used the first time and I guess I can lock the SIM

using the same code

Does anyone know the procedure for re-locking the SIM to a specific network

and do I need a telus sim card for that?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.c:
Rooting and sim unlocking are different procedures. I doubt that flashing stock will relock your phone.

Anyways unlocking your phone with an unlock code doesn't tinker with your software so it shouldn't affect warranty. But I guess that is up to the provider to decide.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prince_72:
Right now I have CM rom

I will flash the original Telus Desire ROM and I want to re-lock it

As paul mentioned by flashing the original rom it does not mean the phone

will be sim lock again to telus

There are some codes with *# but I can not remember the procedure

hi all got my dhd today and I've replaced the 8gb memory card with a 16gb one

I've formatted the card in the phone and then transferred videos music and pics to the phone via hard drive mode. I then change there phone back to charge so the card mounts all the content is missing it appears that it goes into lost

I've also tried transferring via a memory card reader and same happens

Please has anyone got any ideas what's happening ?
[Desire HD General] AndriodLover:
If I was in that situation I would format the sd card in windows as fat32 and give itanother try.
[Desire HD General] naturelle:
Try to format on your windows PC. If that doesn't work, the card is a cheap chinese copy and no 16GB-version...
[Desire HD General] ProreX:
I did the same replacement and it worked fine.

I formated new card in PC as FAT32 (like original card). Then I copied all content from old 8GB card through USB disk option on my phone directly to new 16GB card pluged into my laptop. After copying was finished, I replaced cards and all was working fine.
[Desire HD General] Daz555:
I did this:

Shutdown phone.

Eject 8GB card from phone and plug into PC.

Copy contents to temp folder on disk.

Plug 16GB card into PC.

Format FAT32.

Copy contents from temp folder to root of 16GB card.

Eject 16GB card from PC and plug into phone.

Switch on.
[Desire HD General] tolakos100:
I had the same problem.

I bought my sandisk 16gb sdcard from ebay, at the beggining worked fine but after a few months started to act weird. I copied media files and the one moment was there but when i unplugged the usb cable it's gone, other times it kept some files.

I tried to format the sdcard, use big block size, i even used SDFormater which is for sdcards specific format but nothing happens.

I thought it might be the usb cable but after i used back the 8gb samsung sdcard works like a charm.

As for the sandisk i would like to contact the company to see their opinion.

Try with a different card, and see what happens.
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
Check if the price you bought the card is at least close to the real price of the card. Many ebay cards are fake. The fact that it says "Sandisk" on the card doesn't make it genuine. From my experience Sandisk are the safest and one of the most expensive card on the market. I use their Extreme series for my cameras and never had a single problem with them.
[Desire HD General] tolakos100:
Probably it's fake. I bought it the half price of what it costs in my country.

Hello ppl. I`m using Tap Tap App for unlocking my DS because I don`t want to destroy the power button and my question is this: this app or similar ones (like pocket sensor) can destroy in time proximity sensor?
[HTC Desire S] Glibberman:
The proximity sensor sits under the screen, you can't touch it, so howdo you think it could be destroyed? Just by using it, i highly doubt it.
[HTC Desire S] stonedandhappy:
Not that I'm aware but you will run your battery down quicker because of the proximity sensor being on all the time

I seem to be having a lot of email discussions recently between groups of people. Having such discussions over email obviously has some big disadvantages compared to discussion forums.

What I need is a website that will allow me to create an ad-hoc discussion topic and limit it to a closed group of people. Ideally this will be achieved by having an obscure URL to the topic such that people do not need to register and its simply a case of sharing the URL (similar to how you can share private YouTube videos or Picasa albums).

Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

Yeah. But the service is still in Beta. From the track record of the company though, it'll never leave BETA.

Hi, I I tried searching for this issue but couldn't find any thread specific to my problem. In darker lighting and on dark images or video I notice some bright blotches in the left center of my screen. It's a pain watching videos with it, but does not impede use of the device. Forgive me if this is common light bleed, but I thought that was exclusive to the edge of the device. Is there any fix I can do on my own or should I try and rma?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonitfcfan:
I would personally suggest an RMA, that doesn't look right somehow...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeminiRx:
U have heavy lightbleed on the top and bottem left side of your screen.

But those blobs in the middel should not be there.

I would suggest a RMA
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digiguest:

Thanks guys I'm going to try and return it to Fry's and get the new samsung galaxy tab instead.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tubular:
You're the third person I've seen with this issue in the past week which is an alarming trend to say the least.

Did it develop over time? Was it there in the beginning? Check your serial number on the box for the revision code (starts with B, EX: B5O, B4O, B6O), which is it?

Definitely RMA. It's unacceptable when there's tons of light bleed on the edges but when it's in the center that's just ****ed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thewalrus0034:
Looks like I'm too late to return, I'll have to RMA. The serial number is B4O, and I suddenly noticed it, though it's quite possible that it happened over time, I don't recall it being there when I got it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dills2214:
I am having the same issue, though not as bad. I will try to post pics when I get time.

I just can't decide if a RMA is worth it.... sigh.

My Serial starts with B4O as well.

Edit: Is this actually light bleed or something else? It looks like the IPS screen was impacted before install.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparky32:
I just sent one back for having a white blob in the middle of the screen about 4mm in diameter I assumed that was light bleed of some description there was plenty round the edges too..

The really worrying thing is the replacement that has just arrived, if I apply light pressure on back of tablet about two inches above asus logo it looks like something is pushing against the screen you get all those rings and what looks like a rainbow effect. I noticed it when docked and moving the screen back and forth the same effect occurs.. I never saw this on my other one, is this just cos the unit is thin and flexes or is it another badly put together tab?

I love this product, why cant it just work
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dills2214:
I only notice mine at near full brightness, and with the room pitch black. They are pretty small too. I think I may just try to live with it, as it seems RMA isn't a 100% fix either. I'm afraid I'll be without it for 10-15 business days, and possibly end up with something worse!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparky32:
yep mine seems to be much worse
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dills2214:
That's ridiculous. I shouldn't be afraid of more problems after sending my unit in as a RMA. I think I am just going to hold off and reevaluate the issues in a few months. I'm just worried that the dust in my screen will continue to get worse and worse.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thewalrus0034:
Can anyone speak for a device with a different serial? Also, should I wait and see if ASUS actually fixes it, or RMA as soon as possible? On a side note I thought for RMA they would send me another one and I'd ship this one back when I got the other one, does ASUS not do this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thewalrus0034:
What's your S/N prefix on the replacement?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tubular:
This is how it will play out:

1. You call Asus and set up an RMA with the extremely rude customer service.

2. You pay return shipping (about $14-$20) to ship it back to them.

3. They take two weeks to wait for parts and then a week to repair and send it back to you.

4. They end up replacing the LCD and not doing a replacement for the whole unit. You get a "repair", not a "replacement".

5. If you so much as leave a single ding on the unit the service center will mark it OOW (Out of Warranty) and claim no liability for repairs because you damaged it.

At this point the light bleed is so bad you really have no choice.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thewalrus0034:
So at this point my options are to RMA and most likely not get a fix, keep it and try to ignore the lightbleed, wait for better manufactoring/repair and then RMA, or sell it for $180 on Gazelle or maybe more on Ebay/Amazon and use that to buy the thrive or tab instead. I'm leaning towards the first and maybe the last, but I'd be paying about $750 on the last one (calculating new tablet price by adding old price and subtracting the difference.). Suggestions?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawliet:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkonex:
How'd this work out for ya? I was curious how the Galaxy camp was doing so been reading through the Galaxy 10.1 forums, geez I thought we had problems, lots of similar complaints over there about build quality, keyboard lag, reboots, etc and worse of all evidently alot of them have what they call Newtons Rings effect on the tab where the top glass presses against the LCD and makes water looking blotches some of them over half the screen and it changes with temperature lulz. I have seen that stuff before on anything with an Otterbox Defender case with that built in screen protector, those always do that and it's hideous I couldn't live with my tablet doing that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparky32:
I have just sent my tf101 back for the newton rings effect you describe.. Maybe galaxy tab ain't the answer either then
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparky32:
Rubbish...just got the replacement and its got the same dumb newton ring type issue, touch the screen and you get rings n blotches.. Time for a refund.. Wonder if its a bad batch
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degeneration:
My first one had a blotch like that. Stupid me thought it was a thumb print under the glass. Mine had it from the start though. Hopefully my new one won't get any rings... shoot... knock on wood.

Edit: only semi related but I just noticed that in 3 days of owning a new transformer I have the keyboard burned into the screen. SRSLY? Ugh...

Edit2: seems it was temporary? Anyoneelse notice anything like that? Maybe I am just hallucinating...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dills2214:
no burn in for me, and there really shouldn't be... weird.

For people that don't want to go through the RMA BS, what are the alternative if you are outside the store return/exchange policy. I feel stuck with no options really but RMA and pray. :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degeneration:
I noticed the problem right after posting but then the ghostly keyboard faded. It was weird but relieving.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dills2214:
I had to be a software bug... I really can't think of any other reason for it. IPS screens should not be susceptible to burn in. (My plasma TV on the other hand is just terrible)
