Re: Charging - The Xoom uses a 7.4V/24.1Whr battery, so can't use USB charging which is only 5V. The iPad2 has a 3.8V/25Whr battery, so it can. (All current HC tabs AFAIK use 7.4V batt.)

The iPad2's USB wall-wart is 5V/2A, and users report it takes 3-4 hrs for a full charge. Based on this, charging from a PC's 5V/0.5A USB port would take a long time (charge time isn't linear to current level, but we're simplifying). So practically, you'd still have to lug along an AC charger for the iPad, although PC charging exists as an emergency measure.

Re: Charge adapter - Moto Mobo is a phone vendor. The Xoom is its first tablet, and it's likely that some components were common-sourced from existing phone parts. The smallish charge adapter plug is likely one. Ergonomic issues should be ironed out for the Xoom2, which undoubtedly will be thinner and lighter.

Re: Tablet as productivity device - It'd be interesting to see how much app support ICS gets, as HC didn't get much love from devs, or consumers for that matter. The major thrusts for ICS are phone+tablet convergence and cloud computing, at least as inferred from Google I/O '11. Productivity wasn't mentioned. It'd be a step up for Gbread phones, but I don't see a big improvement for current HC users.

On the flip side, if ICS is indeed incremental, then it should be here relatively soon after 3.2. My SWAG says Oct, which would be enough time for holiday shopping. If true, vendors would likely hold their 2nd-gen tablet offerings until that time. Else, we'll see the second wave starting in Sept. Moto's Xoom2 will serve as a bellwether.

Speaking of the Xoom2, my money is on it having the TI OMAP 4460, with the 7" probably using the 4430. Both are a big step up from the Tegra 2 wrt multimedia support, and the 4460's 1.5GHz speed will make for easy marketing pitch ("it's 50% faster!"). Pricing will likely be the same as current, ie USD$500 for 32GB wifi base model, and probably $400 for the 7".

I bought a really expensive power drill but it's terrible at hammering nails and useless for painting my walls.

I'm mad and posting about it.

I think a tablet pc would be great OP?
[Xoom General] rockhumper:
my fav part of the gripe is about not using the worlds most dominant microsoft software... Of course they are not going to use it... Microsoft competes with android... Its the same as crying that your iphone cant run flash or windows programs...

I know it sucks but a tab is not a direct replacement for a laptop just yet... Theres a lot of ways to get around some of your gripes.. Like dropbox app for posting and syncing all your files to all your devices.. Docs to go.. It aint perfect but it helps... Etc...
[Xoom General] brandogg:
My only gripe where I agree with the OP is the charger and not being able to charge when in the folio case...but when you consider that the battery lasts at least 24 hours with normal usage it's really not s big deal. I can get a good 5 work days when I use it to stream Pandora or Slacker over WiFi without needing to recharge.
[Xoom General] lev777:
Remote control your PC from your tablet. Then you have the best of both worlds.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
Umm... someone already mentioned it, but... there is NOT a "correct" way to hold the Xoom, or any Honeycomb tablet for that matter. The soft keys are located on the screen itself, and will follow the screen when rotated, meaning you can hold it any way you want. Just unlock the screen rotation option, and then rotate the Xoom to position the charging port to the way that fits your needs. That is what sets Honeycomb apart from the rest. If the OP has this "complaint" he should think again before opening his mouth. It's called rotation... it's a feature. The Honeycomb developers want you to hold and position your tablet however you wish, not force you to hold it one way. Look it up, or better yet... use it. ;)
[Xoom General] joshndroid:
its interesting to see the posts we have here...

personally i think a tablet is pretty close to becoming a laptop replacement... for some...

now... my laptop at the moment will probably crush many many desktops out there by a long shot (i definitely moved from desktops 5 years ago) but in saying that my battery life is HORRIBLE... i cant even go through 1 class and my charger is the size of a house brick lol but personally i love how i could whizz through a thousand, tabs, programs, music whatever with not one instance of lag and it dual boots like a boss and the 18 inch screen is amazing..

my xoom i bought it to hopefully be able to replace the aspect of taking my laptop to uni as we have alot of classes with just a powerpoint and we can type our own stuff from there (i just received my hk cheapo folio keyboard case today; as i dont see paying $50+ for one with a wire i would have preferred a bluetooth with trackpad or something) and i think im going to try and leave my laptop at home next time.. i agree the word compatible apps are sometimes uses, i cant find one where i can edit the notes section of a powerpoint but what i would really love is too have 2 programs open side by side on the one screen as this would be even easier to multitask but i will be finished uni before these will be met and then simply put my needs now/future are minimal in the 'business' area.. but this will NEVER replace a laptop for me im on it everyday for 6+ hours easy and the necessity for ease of access, large screen, etc for me negate the tablet switch for sometime if at all

for those who require specified proprietary programs your needs may never be met and if so they may only be met in the apple arena for sometime to come.. apple is the in thing at the moment and for the average joe as we all know cant understand alot of techno-babble (this may be a good argument for proprietary stuff to come out on the more tech android, but in business there are alot of people with their head in the sand)..

as for the OP i say this...

1. really consider rooting/flashing a custom rom you can always revert back to stock for warranty (i purchased mine overseas so i have NO warranty, im a poor uni student and saved for mine and honestly it was cheaper than my phone but yeh)

2. get an OTG cable (i got mine for $3 from hk) and use your flash drive for everything you want from the tablet/computer transfers (get a 32gb if you really need a large one).. that will remove alot of file transfer issues with bluetooth, etc and if you need to have constant backups then copy the file to the sdcard of the xoom to be super safe

3. have a better look in the area of printing.. i can wirelessly print from my android devices and they come out great (not good for photos) but documents come out pretty clear

4. burn the folio case, dance around it and move on try something else (if so inclined lol)...

5. the battery life is awesome.. absolutely awesome... i can go 2 full days without charge and using it all day on the train, music, wifi, internet.. bla bla

sorry for being long

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nemoboy07:
is there any way to wake my phone screen up when locked using the menu button? or home button? or search etc. im so tired of pressing the power button just to wake my screen up sometimes its just so irritating.. ive tried using widgetlocker and the easywake mode that allows volume buttons wake up still feels uncomfortable to me..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
I'm not sure how I feel about this one. The power button makes sense because it is a physical button. Its really easy to accidentally turn the phone on by hitting they led keys. would kill the battery fast. But I'll look into it once I get a chance. Work is killing me right now.

[Acer Iconia A500] kiark:
Hi,

as i'm using my iconia a500 i noticed some heavy Performance issues. i rooted and installed several Roms but my Quadrant score keeps being low. right now i am on lightspeed 1.0.1 with Richard's Kernel and my Quadrant score is only 656!!!

i'm really curious about this any suggestions?

thanks in advance

kiark
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
Just a guess, but the cpu probably is not running full during the test. Might have to use a app to force to 1000 during the test.
[Acer Iconia A500] Jigga0o7:
Running 2.4 kernel? If so, the default intersctive scaling governor is borked so either use setcpu to change to on demand or flash back to 2.3. Im personally running 1.6ghz as max speed with on demand.
[Acer Iconia A500] kiark:
thank u very much, setting the cpu up with setcpu worked!
[Acer Iconia A500] naturallight:
CPU really does not have much effect on quadrant score. It is the combination of the Rom and the kernel it self.
[Acer Iconia A500] harlaquin:
IM using the xoom 3.2 rom

My acer is over clocked to 1.5 and here are my benchmark scores.

Useing Quadrant I got 3421 (best of three runs) and frame rates around 45

Useing Linpack I got 45.438 mflpos on single thread in 1.85 seconds and

71.53 mflops on multi-thread in 2.36 seconds again best of three runs

Useing AnTuTu Benchmark I got a score of 6159 and frame rates right at around 60 fps

Useing Vellamo (its new and a benchmark tool for a tablets browser to see how ell the browser performs does things like java and flash stress tests and load speeds of web pages) I got a score of 1072
[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
not sure on this. if it doesnt have much effect why do you see such a huge difference between 216 Mhz and 1.5 Ghz clock speeds in quadrant?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] paulsg63:
I purchased the "Innocell 1750mAh Slim Extended Life Battery" from Seidio online.

I was getting just enough from the stock battery to get me through until I went to bed and put my inc2 on the charger.

Now I can go a day and a half before I need to charge! :)

All this and it fits with the stock cover. Definitely worth the 45 dollars!

Just me 2c
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jobu3434:
seidio is the way to go. my 1750 should be coming today!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] paulsg63:
you will love it!!

Give it a couple of full charges... before you start getting the full advantage of batt.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
I hated the ones I got for my Inc1. Lasted just as long as stock battery and that wasn't worth $45. I traded it out twice thinking it was maybe a bad battery. Same problem even after waiting a couple days of use. Sold it to my friend and he hates it. Best battery I bought was the 1600mah oem TP2 HTC battery from ebay for $5. Lasted two days on that thing plus it was OEM. I'll consider Seidio again but I wasn't happy the first time around.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsweetness:
Agreed. Typically third party batteries (including Seidio) have exaggerated mah ratings. The batteries that are marketed as being extended batteries might have a little more juice, but not nearly as much as the rating indicates. They often tend to wear out much quicker.

Glad this one seems to be working for the OP though. Perhaps this one is different than most of the rest.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
Yes it'd be great if it did. I wish someone knew of an OEM HTC battery with a higher capacity that would fit our phones. Even if it's from another model
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mr Lime v2:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ben805:
I bought 1800mah Mugen Power instead, heard good things about their battery, it's slim so I don't have to use different back cover. still waiting for mine.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] LowFire82:
Love my Mugen slim extended, definitely significant more life out of it over stock
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] edster00:
I have the Mugen also; I tried the Seidio 1750 w/my DInc1 and while it was an improvement over the stock battery it did not perform well over time. I've had the Mugen for ~3 weeks now and am quite happy with it...I hope I can say the same thing in a few more months.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wyatta4:
Do you think those cheapies on eBay are worth it? Could they damage my phone? 3500 with extended cover for $11...

And what about this?...

http://cgi.ebay.com/2-1800mAh-BATTERY-HTC-Droid-Incredible-Evo-4G-/180682623732
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mr Lime v2:
That's for the Droid Incredible 1, not the Droid Incredible 2. They are not compatible unfortunately. They won't fit.

Sent from my Locked Down Droid Incredible 2 :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
I've gone through a lot of batteries for my Inc1 and best results come from the OEM batteries.

Ordered a lot off eBay and only seller bidallies sold legit OEM. The generic work but lose capacity over a few weeks and are off on the ratings, Seidio is good but barely better than stock and not worth the $$$ on the original Inc. I'll be trying a Mugen next.

So I recommend saving the money you'd waste on the junk batteries and buy a good one that'll last.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mr Lime v2:
True that. I purchased several junk batteries before getting the Seidio 3500 mah battery. So much better than the other "high capacity" batteries.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
I have 2100 oem but with different back cover
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
Yeah I'd like to keep stock back cover. Like I mentioned with the Inc1, the HTC Touch Pro 2 battery fits fine and it was a 1600mah while the stock Inc1 battery was (in HTCs infinite wisdom) a 1300mah. Fit snug but still fit under stock battery cover and gave extra few hours of life.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shoman24v:
Save the money and just order a couple original stock ones on eBay for $10 a pop.

Don't need to go into details about how your paying for a placebo affect. I made the mistake. Never again.

Absolute ripoff.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Well my 2100 was free and does actually give me more use
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Kinz1980:
So what is the best one for a stack cover? I would like to use the stock cover because of my otter box. I am assuming with the extended cover my otter box will not fit.?.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
Correct. I'd recommend the mugen over the Seidio. Haven't tried the mugen but it has to be better than the Seidio. Tried that one several times like a fool and each time they sucked
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wyatta4:
Ok, I just bought a $3.99 1800 mah battery off ebay. It is for the Evo Shift but is said to work in the Inc 2. It will take a while to get here so ill let you all know how well it performs, if it does so at all.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OlSTAg:
hey guys, the market isnt workingg on mt4g. i get the stopped unexpectly message

so far i have tried cleaning the data for market and the market updater plus deleting the market for a newer market

i think its some problem because of the update, any ideas how to fix

also the phone is ccurrently stock and i dont really want to root it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andrew121:
It happened to me once when the market updated. But after the market updated, it didn't give me another error. The problem can easily be fixed with a factory reset, but I know that is tedious. I recommend rooting and backing up your apps with titanium backup and then factory reset.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OlSTAg:
i guess thats all i can do

do you think getting the gingerbread update from tmo can fix it
[EVO 4G General] freejack347:
Has anyone had issues with the screen getting discolored down by the menu and home keys. I just noticed today that when I use my camera or if I load messages, or anything else other then a black background that my screen now has a grey splotch at the bottom part of the screen.

Only had the phone for a couple of months never dropped, but also noticed I have 2 cracks in the bezel one similar to the other issue around the power button and now one by the HDMI output...my phone is falling apart:(
[Blade General] Carlos_Manuel:
Hi all!

Can you tell me how I can fix the battery?

I use ZTE V880 (china blade) lealed GingerBread which are fixed for ZTE!

It is good and fast but battery ends too fast: I don't use it still battery ends 12% in 2 hours!

Can fix it easily?
[Blade General] omgomg:
Unfortunately I have that exact same problem, no matter whatever ROM I use.

I'm now trying CM7 nightly 151 and crossing my fingers.
[Blade General] k0zmic:
Have you checked whether an app is draining your battery e.g. always trying to connect to GPS or something?
[Blade General] Carlos_Manuel:
OK, I use now good ROM stir fry or what it is the ROM name :D

it is good and battery life is pretty nice... :)

CM 7 nightly is maybe good but my phone widgets not work if I use CM7
[Blade General] omgomg:
Yes, I've thoroughly checked everything, I just don't know what could I have missed.

Set the phone profile to smartass, using setcpu helped a bit too.

GPS, 3G and WiFi are only connected on demand too.

I've noticed a constant CPU usage around 30%, though I don't know how to check which apps are the responsible for this.

Which widgets? I didn't have any of those problems.
