If you root and install custom rom or kernel that supports usbOTG, yes, you can connect thumb drive and large HDD. Camera is possible, but some work (Canon???) while others don't. There is a DSLR thread some where that goes into more detail.

Honeycomb source code has not been released by Google, which is what is holding back more development. But honestly, my Xoom does just about everything I would want.

It's a terrific device.
[Xoom General] madmax85812:
stock 3.2 now supports OTG, so yes you can use ur thumb drives or external hdd directly out of the box...as for cameras...some work direct...some need an app from the market to work...rest u might hv to dig around...
[Xoom General] Deonix:
thanks, i think the camera should work because it is like a generic usb device.

I saw Tiamat Rom's and it's awsome, can't wait to try it. will buy one this month.

Anyway. Thanks for the Info. Xoom really is the best Android tablet and if the next XOOM appears next year with quad core i can still sell mine here in Romania ( as everything is pretty expensive here) for a good price and than add some extra $ for another one from the US.

Hi, how many folks out there that use 4G have noticed their EVO 3D getting really hot. Mine seems fine, however my wife's phone always gets really hot. I have held it and its too hot. Just want to know if she has a defective phone or if its another issue. She has had her phone replaced already and she is not in the mood to go and get it replaced yet again. I don't blame her either.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] shaanwarrior:
not sure what the issue could be...but if you really want 4G then you should probably replace it again. but if u don't really use 4G that much, then I don't think there's any point.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
How hot is it getting? You can use battery monitor widget to check the temp. Mine will heat up a bit if I have 4G on and am using a lot of data, but never gets real hot, about 38-39c.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodar:
Hi.. i just got my sgs2 after using blackberry 9100 and the infamous nokia n97.

I am using Parrot mki-9200 car kit which supports a2dp.

in the two other phones i could stream music but the ring for msgs and other notifications were not transmitted (ideal).

However now with the sgs2 every notification is being transmitted to the car kit and the radio stops playing for a few seconds. it's really annoying..

anyone knows a workaround/solution?

Thanks a lot.

hi, im in taiwan and im planning on buying the atrix me860, but before i do, i have a couple of questions:

2. can i just as easily root and install custom roms on it as the other firmware?

That seems to be a rom specific problem. Most likely the kernel instead of the rom cuz I just tried the game and it played fine for me. But I am on Virtuous stock htc kernel. Have you tried playing on stock htc kernel with the same rom? Are u overclocking as of now? These could very well effect gameplay.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the "auto-brightness" so that it is a notch or two brighter than it is now? Currently, unless it's very bright where I am, the brightness stays at the lowest level.... I would like to use the auto-brightness, but it's just "calibrated" too dimly for my tastes... Surely there is some file that we can edit to change the brightness levels, etc...

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
In case anyone else is interested, I found a solution to my auto-brightness issues... The solution is a $0.99 app called "Lux (Beta)". While it is still in beta, it works great - I can adjust exactly how bright the screen should be relative to the lux value from teh light sensor (plus much more!). As of right now, I'd highly recommend this app! It will even use the camera to determine the light level if the lux value isn't returned properly from the light sensor!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyb3rGlitch:
Hey jtrosky, I'm the developer of Lux. I'm glad you're liking the app! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask!

hi

great site
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
I have never used auto brightness on any device. I always adjust it manually. I have found the auto brightness annoying and it drains my battery. I usually just set it as low as I can stand it. This lux thing found intriguing to me though. Thanks for the heads up on that. If auto brightness had a native way to set it for certain environments it may be useful, but the constant changing of brightness will drain the battery imo.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpavich:
thanks for the tip on Lux...it seems like a great little ap!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timduru:
I find that the auto-brightness is also too low for my taste in low light environments. Might give a try to the lux app. thanks for the info :)

Something that would be nice is also to be able to dim the screen based on battery level, like for example being able to set the different levels in cpu tuner would be great to try to save battery automatically :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manaskb:
I thought light sensor was not working on my TF. Thanks, Will take a shot at using Lux.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Just a quick follow-up... Still using Lux and it's been working perfectly... I love it. I wasted a few dollars on a few other supposed "auto-brightness" apps before I tried Lux (I was initially put off by the beta status of Lux), but none of the other apps worked properly or did what I wanted, so I tried Lux - Lux is by far the best out there now - check it out for $.99...

I'm still not quite sure I understand all of the options, etc though.... Even the four icons on the main interface - can the author please describe what each one does?

Thanks!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyb3rGlitch:
No problem!

(I'll bold the app name Lux so you don't get confused with the unit of illuminance, lux. :P)

The first button merely re-acquires the lux reading, if for whatever reason you want a new value. This is handy if you want to use Lux as a light meter, or if for some reason your light sensor decides to return incorrect data.

The second button is the 'link' button. Basically, pressing this button links the display backlight value (as determined by the brightness slider) to the current lux/luma reading. This link tells Lux that you want to set the backlight to that brightness when the lux is that value. So whenever Lux adjusts the brightness too dim or too bright, you just adjust the slider then 'link' it to the current lux value, and Lux then learns to use that brightness. Also note that Lux will interpolate these linked values (aka 'linked samples') so you don't have to do much linking at all.

The third button is astronomer mode. This saturates the display in a red colour, to make the otherwise harsh white light of the display easier to look at in low light. Astronomers are known to cover their phones in red cellophane to achieve this, and thus stop their eyes from adjusting from the dark environment to a bright phone.

The last button is where all the settings lie. Each setting has a description which should explain its function. To save me writing out pages of explanation, just let me know if you need help with a particular setting. :P

Hopefully that all makes sense.

Oh, and also, you may find the apps FAQ helpful. It's based on an older UI though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Perfect! Thanks for the descriptions (I NEVER would have figured out that the hell the third button was suppsed to do!!).

I'm still playing around with all of the options... One possible enhancement - maybe allow the user to specify special brightness values for when the battery level is below certain thresholds.... This would help to automatically conserve battery life when the battery starts getting low....

Thanks again - it's been working great!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyb3rGlitch:
I've been meaning to add something like that. Will look into it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Oh no - I've run into a pretty major issue with Lux - it seems that after I install and add the Lux widget, I can then no longer install any apps! When the app installer runs, the "Install" button is simply not selectable! As soon as I uninstall Lux, I can then install apps again. Just installing Lux doesn't break the app installer - the app installer doesn't break until the widget is added to the home screen. At that point, I have to un-install Lux to install any further apps....

Any ideas???

Thanks!

EDIT - I'm able to install apps from the Market, but not from .apk files (yes, I have 'Other sources' turned on).... Strange.... Hopefully, the dev can re-produce and fix this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
You could simply be out of space. Have you tried looking? Don't mean to be mean or anything, but I've done that plenty of times on my D1

EDIT: Nevermind, I read that wrong.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
@Cyb3rGlitch - Is there any way to see what current brightness/lux values that you have currently defined? I'd like to be able to review the values I've stored with the option to remove certain "samples"....If that makes any sense.... App oes work good though - just need to figure out the issues that casues me to not be able to load .apk files anymore (manually)! Market apps still install ok.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lytnus:
Hiya,

This app sounds useful! One issue I had was that in a no-light situation, I find the screen far too bright. Astronomer mode sounds like the fix implemented in Lux to deal with that; I don't suppose the screen brightness can be further reduced in an attempt to preserve more battery life in these situations?

I have an app which adds a semi-transparent layer on top of the image, making it darker, but it would not conserve battery life as its just beaming out darker coloured pixels, rather than reducing the brightness of them.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Actully, Lux allows you to lower the brightness to below the normal "lowest" setting as well, so it should do exactly what you want.... Well worth the $1 it costs!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyb3rGlitch:
Odd, I'll look into it. It's probably related to the issue some users are having with gmail. Unfortunately it's one of those issues that only a few people seem to have, so it's hard to reproduce.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyb3rGlitch:
You can see the linked samples by backing up the profiles to your SD card and then opening the file in a text editor. A sample editor is on my todo list, but really, you don't need one - Lux handles that for you.

Lux has a sub-zero mode which does this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
For what it's worth, I don't use the Gmail app at all (just get all mail through normal mail app).

You just emailed me about my app. I found this thread started by you, and now realize why you were asking about the app and no computer.

I think I also see your problem. You state you are using the OEM USB cord - I had a LOT of problems with that cable. Go on eBay or wherever, but look for this cord:

http://www.amazon.com/RIM-BlackBerry-Cellular-phone-cable/dp/B0007P744I

I HIGHLY recommend the Blackberry cables, they are wonderful. You can tell the difference just by looking at the thickness of the cable. The OEM cable has such thin wires, it has trouble transmitting the massive amount of data needed for Android.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] parabola949:
OH and one other thing -

Very important - make sure you do NOT plug the USB cable into a hub, such as frontside ports on the PC. ALWAYS plug directly into motherboard (back of PC). Frontside ports can sometimes be USB 1.1, which doesn't provide the needed 5V. Plus, Android (adb) hates usb hubs anyways.
