[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prowlex:
on 3.2 rooted. Just got this yesterday. I notice no facebook app.. or yahoo app... I tried Gtalk but gtalk runs terribly (logs me in and out constantly claiming server issues or something) I need a video chat app like yahoo messenger. or skype. Something comeon. Also the lack of facebook app worries me. Is xoom going to get either of these? also i like playing asphalt 6 and gt racing from gameloft. are those compatible. Does anyone know if i have to rebuy them for every device? Also any tips for neat stuff to do with xoom? (already have netflix)

Try this thread for a start.

Personally I use the browser for Facebook. In terms of the other apps, just check out the market. You should see the tablet specific section...there are plenty of great apps that work well with Xoom. Check out the Apps section.

Just to help others that may encounter this problem.

Our company just bought us all the ASUS Tf101 32gb and of course out of all these you know there will be issues. These are the B60 series also.

We had one out of the box the guy started setting it up and the touch response stop working. I tried wiping it with the holding the vol down and pwr up. No luck.

Well I read to just let it drain the battery and I did that and the fastest way to drain the battery is to power it up holding the vol down key and just let it sit. It will stay in the mode waiting for you to confirm wipe. That seems to keep the back lite on and will drain the battery faster. It took over night to drain the battery (I wish my ThunderBolt had a battery like this) and then when I plugged it back in it worked.

Updated to 3.1 and still working... :D:D:D

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Which car charger? The AT&T one?

The AT&T one sucks - very low current limit, and it's detected as a USB charger by the Infuse and not as full-current charger.

If you use the car dock, any high-current charger (like iPad chargers) will work with the Infuse.

If you don't use the car dock, if you use an iPad/iPhone charger, you have to open up the charger and short the D+ and D- pins of the USB connector of the charger with a solder blob, or use a "charging adapter" cable. (Apparently AT&T sells such a cable - the negative reviews for not working for data transfer mean it'll work great for charging from iPhone/iPad USB chargers.) I use the 1A port of a Scosche reVIVE II with the D+ and D- pins solder-blobbed together.

Also, if the CPU is running and the screen is on, CPU and screen usage count against the phone's charge current limit, so will significantly reduce charge rate. (Samsung noobed that one...)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] debra:
I found that turning off the data makes it charge faster!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Samsung noobed it up in this phone's charging design - CPU/screen, and maybe even radio current usage count against the phone's charge current limit. This means that instead of 600 mA going only to the battery, it's 600 mA going to battery and all sorts of stuff - so the battery gets far less. This is why battery can actually drain while running navigation.

However the AT&T charger itself imposes a lower current limit than this, so even if Samsung hadn't noobed it, you'd still get a slow charge.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] reissy:
Do you think it would charge faster under GingerBread? I cannot have a phone like this if it takes forever and a day to charge. That just sucks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
I won't know until I've had a chance to look at the source drop.

Ideally:

They've fixed it so CPU/screen/etc usage doesn't count against charge current.

Workaround if they haven't:

It's possible to bump charge current up to 800 mA (stock is 600 mA). While this initially seems like only a 25% boost to charging, the fact that CPU/screen/etc is using part of the charge current limit means actual battery current will be up significantly more than 25%.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] reissy:
Interesting. I wonder if a custom kernel could fix this issue. Is that possible?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
Would one of these work? I use it on my Galaxy Tab 10.1. It has a data/charge switch.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330565218553&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
It is entirely possible to crank the charge current up to 800 mA - I've done it and have been testing it on my phone. I have some additional stuff I want to do before general public release which is hard because the charge control stuff is major spaghetti code in the Froyo kernel. I'm hoping the GB kernel source is a bit cleaner.

I am not sure if it is possible to fix the fact that CPU/screen/etc usage is counted against the battery charge current limit. This may be simply bad hardware design. There's a slight possibility that it may just be that a register in the MAX8998 is being set improperly, such as the ESAFEOUT bits. When I get home and take a look at the GB kernel I'll know for sure. The problem is that the MAX8998 datasheet is proprietary and so the only documentation for this chip is the kernel source itself - which isn't particularly good for a number of aspects of the chip.

I'll test - I've got a charger modded for charging my Tab 10.1, but I haven't tested it with the Infuse. I know solder-blobbing D+ and D- of an iPad charger works, but not what happens if you mangle the resistors in such a way that Tab 10.1s charge.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazm0n:
I have a charger from Griffin that works with my iPad that is a mini cig lighter adapter plug with a USB plug in it. It comes with a 30 pin cable for iDevices, but if I plug the micro USB cable that came with my Infuse it works great and charges relatively fast... I haven't done any serious testing, but from what I can tell it's much faster than if it were charging off my laptop's USB, but not as fast as being plugged into the wall.

What I think makes the difference is the fact that the charger is iPad capable, which means it's rated to output more power than the basic iPhone/pod versions. The iPad requires something like 2.1 amps compared to the .5 amps the normal usb chargers put out. This is why most laptops older than about 3 years can't charge the iPad via usb.

Now, I know my reference to "amps" I will be corrected or clarified. I'm no electrical engineer, lol... but what I'm going off is he output listing on the chargers. Bottom line is the iPads need a lot more juice and maybe so do our Infuses.

Hope this helps/makes sense! :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
It's not just about the charger's amperage limit (and yes, amps is correct, you got it right.), but telling the phone that there is a high-current charger connected.

The standard way of doing this (which our phones follow) is to short D+ and D- together.

The Apple way of doing things is to use resistors from ground and +5v to set D+ and D- to specific voltages - 2.0 and 2.8 volts to be specific. Our phones usually detect this as a USB host and limit charge current to something like 475 mA. (I forget the exact value.)

Galaxy Tabs do it yet another way - tie D+ and D- together and use resistors to make them both around 1.2 volts. (Edit: Just tried my Tab 10.1 wall charger. Our phone detects this as an AC charger.)

Even with a high-current charger, our phones limit battery current internally to 600 mA on AC. Unfortunately, CPU/screen usage is counted against this limit, reducing actual current into the battery. The charger chip in our phones allows up to 800 mA. I've got a kernel that I use myself that does this but I'm a bit paranoid about it stressing the battery which is why I haven't publically released it.

Good news and bad news from the Gingerbread kernel: The bad news is I don't see anything obvious that would fix the flaw of CPU/screen current counting against the charge current limit. The good news is that implementing a safer way to crank the charger current is a LOT easier. It would charge at 800 until the battery hit a certain voltage (currently I'm thinking 4.05 volts), then 700 mA up to 4.1 volts, then 600 up to charge termination. I might make those 4.0/4.05 to be safe. Doing this in the Froyo kernels would have been painful, the Gingerbread kernel's code is much cleaner and this should be a lot easier to add.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
@entropy512

So are you saying the eBay Galaxy P1000 Tab charging adapter I pointed to a couple messages back should work on the Infuse without having to modify the charger when set in CHARGE mode?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Based on everything I've heard that says the P1000 charging adapter works on the P7510 (Tab 10.1 wifi), yes, since our phones detect Tab 10.1 chargers as full-blown chargers.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tishoo:
I was impatient and picked up the (excellent!) Samsung car dock and can reconfirm (just for another datapoint - Entropy's comments are gold here!) ...

With Waze or Google Maps/Navigation running, background music streaming (Pandora etc) OR a phone call underway (50/50) and a relatively high brightness setting the whole time (65% this morning - it was SUNNY!) my setup *LOST* charge on my 50+ mile drive (from 78% to 73% or so). All sound over Bluetooth the whole way. WiFi off, GPS (duh) on.

My Setup: Cheap Woot!ed Belkin 9V-USB 1A adapter with an Amazon-sourced Samsung original data/charge cable and the Samsung car dock.

Workable - at this rate it would lose ALL charge AFTER my rather substantial gas (diesel!) tank is empty.

BUT the new kernel or a charging fix would be great because then I don't have to remember to enter the car with a fully charged phone, or conversely, worry that I may leave, and thn run out, since charge was depleted en route!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] phillman5:
Cheap G2x mount

I got a cheap car mount at Walmart (auto section, not electronics), its also available at O'Reileys. Its made by Custom Accessories, its called "MP3 Player/Phone Holder". It was $7.96. It comes with a Windshield mount suction cup with a lever to engage/disengage, (and a mount with adhesive to put on your dash then use the suction cup) and a flexible goose neck to connect the holder to the suction cup. It comes apart to ease packing.

Its just barely wide enough for the G2x, so it won't work with any sort of case.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dr. Bogenbroom:
The T-Mobile/LG OEM mount pictured above that several people have inquired about will NOT work with a case. The way the phone clips in isn't deep enough but for a skin. I do recommend it though as it's a fantastic mount and will work nicely with his current Garmin mount as the ball socket is the same. I just ditched my case (was using an inexpensive TPU) and got a neoprene sleeve. Not as robust against droppage but worth the trade-off IMO.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jaw2012:
I really love my Inspire, especially w/ Honeyogen installed. But the problem of viewing the screen in direct sunlight is a major problem for me, one that I cant seem to find a soultion for.

Ive tried different screen covers & different ROMs & even different Kernals, yet the Inspires Slcd screen is still terrible in direct sunlight, as all I see is my reflection.

My question is this... is there anyway to hack the screen to increase the brightness beyond the "normal" or "stock" brightness levels?

I would think that if developers can hack volume levels for the external speaker & also freq values for overclocking the cpu, that the same could be possible for the screen brightness!?

Thanks, i appreciate your thoughts!
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Thank you for this question. I am interested in a solution to this as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] daddioj:
is your screen on auto brightness? take it off and adjust yourself. it will adjust to light depending on how much and how little you get.
[HTC Inspire 4G] evostevo1:
If your rom is cm7 base go to menu, settings,cyanogenmod settings,display, automatic backlight,scroll down to light levels,check use custom, other levels, (this is what I do) change 1st 3 screen profiles from 41 to 61, 61 to 81, 81 to 101, then hit save and apply. The higher the # the brighter the screen. Those settings are pretty good on battery and definitely helps on making the screen more viewable outside and in bright rooms. Hour this helps
[HTC Inspire 4G] jaw2012:
Thanks for trying, but of course I've set my brightness levels myself. Auto-brightness doesn't do it for me.

I'm just surprised that there aren't hacks for screen brightness. Just as speakers levels & the CPU are governed to a certain threshold in stock configs, I would think the screen is governed and has much higher brightness levels it can go beyond.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jaw2012:
Yes, my ROM is CM7 based. But I assume these custom levels are for the Auto-Brightness mode?

Also, where exactly do I make these changes? Because the "screen" values are already at 41, 61, 81, 112 and so forth. So I assume these values have been changed by my ROM developer or are they CM7 defaults? Or do I have it all wrong? LOL. Thanks again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] evostevo1:
Yes, this is for auto brightness. You do have the correct defaults. I bumped the first 3 profiles up by 20 and screen is brighter at lower levels.
[HTC Inspire 4G] exileinoblivion7:
also would like to know if there is any way to do this! bump!!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] jaw2012:
Ok, but my question is does this actually make the screen any brighter than the highest stock brightness level?

Or does this just change the values, so that the lower values are brighter, but no brighter than the stock highest level?
[HTC Inspire 4G] evostevo1:
no brighter than brightest stock value
[HTC Inspire 4G] jaw2012:
So why can you developers increase & hack the speaker and the CPU values and MAX out their potential, yet the screen's potential is wasted and we are stuck with dark screens that can't be seen very well outdoors?

It doesn't make sense to me. The screen backlight must have more potential, they don't push ANY hardware to it's max in stock configurations.

Come on developers, we need you again!
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
FALSE - juice defender's ultimate (maybe even pro) app can adjust it higher than the 100% brightness value. Only problem with this is that you have to let it control your brightness settings, but there's a bug that doesn't allow you to install apk's manually - so you have to disable the brightness while you install apks (or you could just install through adb lol). so yes, there is a way.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.latedroid.ultimatejuice&feature=search_result
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Thanks! Didn't know this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jaw2012:
Um no Juicedefender does'nt raise the screen brightness ANY higher than you normally can w/ the stock brightness slider. All that does is mess with the Auto-Brightness settings.

Alot of people seem to get the Auto-Brightness settings confused with what I am asking. I want to be able to raise the brightness beyond the MANUAL brightness slider. If you raise the auto-brightness setting, your STILL limited to the max value that's on the manual brightness slider. I want THAT manual setting to be pushed beyond the normal "stock" value, which I guess is impossible......can't understand why when almost every other hardware is hacked to allow better performance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
Okay sorry just looked at juice defender again. It allows you to only change the shape of the brightness curve. As for forcing a brighter screen level I'm blank on that. Have you manually set it to 100% and its still. Not bright enough?
[HTC Inspire 4G] SweetPotater:
You cant overclock the values of your android hardware "screen" for brightness and dimness since it can only work properly on a given threshold hence any more than that is negligible.
