I need to sell mine, $350 central Florida, comes with oem dock and car charger. 2 months old, looks brand new!
[Xoom General] knowledge561:
So wait for a Xoom 2? Only thing I would need a laptop for is iTunes to manage my music.

Whooo! (Cole Voice...)
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Personally speaking, the current Xoom functions as a laptop replacement and more but it all depends on what you expect to do with it. You've heard from at least one person who disagrees with me, but many more would agree. It's an amazing piece of hardware and will only become more functional as more apps and customizations are created for it.

But do as you like.
[Xoom General] knowledge561:
Any scripts to get an external drive connected because 32GB wont cut it. I have lots of movies.

Rooted and running the newest Tiamat Rom, I can use my usbOTG cable to connect to my 750GB usb3 WD Passport and watch my ripped DVDs.
[Xoom General] tonemand:
Couldn't agree more. I have the latest Team Tiamat Moray ROM on here with Bazar617's StockRed UI, and with the current crop of apps, I believe I am getting value far beyond my original expectations. The development community that is behind the Xoom is going to make this worthwhile for a long time.
[Xoom General] almostinsane:
They are $329 from amazon, a damn good deal until the quad core models are available.
[Xoom General] hotdiamonds:
Xoom 2 won't be a laptop replacement either, Android tablets will never replace a windows laptop, especially not what i use my laptop for. I download all my music in .flac then convert them to mp3, try doing that on a android tablet!
[Xoom General] okantomi:
It's unrealistic to expect any tablet to suitably be your only computer. I have my high-powered desktop to do all that downloading, ripping, file conversion, storage for streaming, and for adb, etc...My Xoom goes everywhere with me, something I wouldn't do with a laptop. My desktop and Xoom make a perfect team and I'm mobile as can be.
[Xoom General] hotdiamonds:
Exactly, it's a supplement, not a replacement.
[Xoom General] knowledge561:
I might consider trading my Evo 3D for one. Its not connected anyway.

Whooo! (Cole Voice...)
[Xoom General] eganraC:
not yet, see what the Xoom2 or Xformer 2 has to offer. The browser still is garbage and it will annoy you if you want to surf with browser. the HDMI sound is in mono which is also terrible if you want to hook it up to your flat screen. I love mine to death but will be getting rid of it once either a new one with better browser and audio comes out or another table is comparable..

I hope ICS resolves some of the annoyances.

Hi,

I have been using a Blueant Q2 platinum headset recently with Epic touch 4g and there have been a lot of issues on the receiver's end. Noticed the same problem previously on an HTC EVO 4g with a Jawbone ERA and a Plantronics 975. Are there any known issues with bluetooth stack as I guess these problems started after the GB update. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
Great idea, but i'm not too keen on carrying around a brick in my pocket. I just called motorola and "complained" that my battery life wasn't what it should be. they sent me a 1700mAh battery free of charge.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rruss:
I felt like that too but surpringly it wasnt as bad as i thought depends on the phone really I've had extended batteries for evo4g and 3d the 4g back wasn't bad at all felt nice on hands now the 3d mmm not so much hopefully the

feel of the photon is good and they get it right but the battery life is ridiculous either way a additional 10 hours of use without a charge I would sacrifice some slim for that
[Motorola Photon 4G] daveb101:
If you don't mind me asking what number at motorola did you call. I don't have adequate battery life either and I would welcome the chance to speak to someone who can actually do something ..about it.

[Motorola Photon 4G] cubexg:
I've ordered mine and will certainly post results. Im a commuter to NYC and a consultant that treks all over NYC throughout the day. I have yet to go a full day without plugging in. I hope the extended battery gives me a full day without needing AC.

Go there for the generic photon battery from ebay.....
[Motorola Photon 4G] cutter2668:
Cheap Chinese and CRAPPY

there's no such thing as a good 3500 mah battery for 11.99, if you think this battery is capable of half that mah Ive got some swamp land I will sell you really cheap.

Generic chinese batteries never provide their rated mah, are made from poor quality materials, can catch fire and can damage your device. Also if you look at that battery cover the speaker would be impeded by it as it does not accommodate the speaker appropriately

feel free to waste your money and risk your device though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Yeah, There is probably three of four other threads in the accessories section full of people that have bought the Chinese batteries with horrible results.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nfamisnme:
Whatever man, I just posted it for the community. Actually I bought 1 for my old epic and it lasted me 1 solid year for 15 bucks. I'm not saying its the best battery, but for people who don't want to pay 69.99 for a battery with a ****ty seido label on it, its an alternative!
[Motorola Photon 4G] nfamisnme:
Results vary, u can't compare individual results. Each person with a photon uses them differently. Example, I use my phone all day long. There is no battery for me, But maybe the next Guy needs close to double the life of a stock battery, without the price. It was just a post to the community for the people who don't intend on using the extended battery as a primary battery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] roseng:
Just curious, where do you think the Moto batteries are made? Hand-made and individually tested in a lab on Palo Alto? I don't think so. How many factories do you think make these specialty batteries? Chances are they all come from the same place, Moto label or not.

I bought two generic 1750mah batteries on eBay for $12 total and they last as long at the Moto battery supplied with the phone. Not a single fire.

Stop busting people that are trying to offer help to the community. If you have personal experience then offer it. If not then give it a rest.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bpcivicsi:
I'll have to give that Motorola number a call.. I certainly wouldn't mind a bigger OEM battery for free

Let me know if they give you a larger mah one or not.

Chinese Cheapo Batteries

If you wanna ruin your phone with a generic chinese battery feel free, but people deserve to know the truth about those no name batteries at dirt cheap prices, motorolas oem battery contains japanese cells cheap chinese batteries do not, for your information I was sharing personal experience with those cheap ass knockoff batteries. It is well known across the web that those batteries do not live up to their mah rating. With such disparity between the prices of these ebay batteries and genuine oem's or high end extendeds smart consumers have to wonder why, there are a plethora of bad reviews for these batteries. I say again, BUYER BEWARE.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bridic:
Most Sprint stores will just give you an extra battery if you ask for it. I carry 2 extra OEM batteries with me. it takes like 5 secs to replace the battery and you are good to go.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cutter2668:
A brick really???

I have this battery, its hardly a brick, keep the phone in my shirt pocket with that soo called brick all day long. No problems.

you would rather not carry a brick... just prefer to carry extra battery and a charger in your pocket.

those weigh more than my extended battery.

:D
[Motorola Photon 4G] MultiDev:
What did you say to get this? I would like to get a second battery too.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taylorzhang:
Yesterday, I tried a oneclick root application but turns out only to complete the mission halfway. After pushing volume up and power button, I see

Lock state- unlocked, but Rom manager told me I'm not rooted

Today I found several thread, including the sticky thread on the top of the forum page, to root it the regular way. However, when I proceed to

fastboot oem unlock

nothing happens on the phone screen

Then I tried next step

"fastboot flash recovery 3024v3-i9023.img"

the picture of what happened is attached

View attachment 755063

still nothing on the phone screen

I try the recovery option on the phone, but few seconds later exclamtion sign and android robot show up. I'm able to get out of it and go into android system recovery, which only has 4 option

reboot system now

apply update from /sdcard

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

I tried both wipe option but they are both fruitless except wiping out all my data. They didn't change the lock/unlock property.

My i9023 is on 2.3.6, don't know if it matters.

So here is my situation, this is my first attempt to root the phone.

Guys help me please.

Just in case we are missing the obvious, when you run your fastboot command, is your phone plugged into your computer via usb, and with your phone on the bootloader screen (power button + volume up when your phone is off)?

also, try:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] thorn292:
How can I get my infuse back to stock using a mac? I have tried heimdall front end and the Heimdall One-Click with no success. If there are step by step instructions on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated. I have searched and can't find much info for doing it on a mac. I have the infuse4g-backtostock-one-click.jar but when I click to open it just closes. I have restarted pc, reset permissions, updated java, put phone in download mode. Am I doing something wrong?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
Open it in commands line. Open a terminal window and CD intro the directory. Type Java -jar backtostock.jar or whatever thename of that file happens to be. Clearly you didn't read the thread good enough, but at leeway you found the thread.

You may also need to set up codeless kext or something but I don't have a Mac so I don't know how to do that.

What happens when you try to run heimdall frontend?? And you can run heimdall in command line as well. Linux bozo went over that in the kj2 thread. The only difference is you won't need boot.bin or sbl.bin but may have to add param.ifs too the list. If test it to give explicit instructions but my power is out. I'm posting form my phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] thorn292:
The java I get unable to access and when i put phone in download mode and open the oneclick stock boot infuse.jar file it just flashes on dock then quits. Heimdall front end gives tar header contained invalid file size. I am wondering if I can use the stock rom for i900 with heimdall such as XWJSD 2.2.1 with heimdall seeing I cannot find one specific to infuse?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
Obviously you are using heimdall wrong. Did you try laughing one click from command line? That's how you nerd to open it, its covered in the thread.

Heimdall needs heimdall specific packages if you use a .tar. Don't do that plus i9000 roms don't work. Get the Odin package gtg made and extract the.tar I would make a heimdall package if I though anyone was gonna use it, but people don't like change even for the better, it drives me nuts.

heimdall 1.3 has 3 tabs, one is labeled "flash" open that tab. Get infuse.pit this is the only pit file that works. Then there is an add button, it will give you a selection of partitions to add. when you add a partition you need to add a file to that partition, the files vs partitions are as follows

zimage-kernel

factoryfs.rfs-factoryfs

Param.ifs-param

dbdata.rfs-database

Csc.rfs-cache

Modem.bin-modem

I'm going off memory and there may be a couple mistakes, but once you see how it works its not hard to see where stuff goes.

If you don't feel comfortable with that then get heimdall 1.1. Just extract the Odin .tar file and add files in the GUI., it really explains itself. I dislike the new GUI, the old one was easy. The command line us easy too but i'm not sure I remember the commands exactly right.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] thorn292:
Do I need the odin exe to do this or can I just use the file? I cannot run exe files.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
No just the .tar. Extract it and flash the files inside using heimdall.

If you can't figure it out you can get boot camp and run window.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] thorn292:
I'm obviously not doing something right every time I extract the file in Heimdall 1.1 I get errors. Would AT&T put the stock rom back on if I took it in to them?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] thorn292:
Update: I borrowed a windows pc and got it up in running back to original in about 30 minutes. Thanks for ll your help.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
glad you got it but no att wouldn't do that. ROM flashing voids any type of warranty or insurance, sometime people get away with sending phones to Samsung if they get bricked, if you do that sort of thing make sure the phone doesn't even turn on or boot past the Samsung screen. The repair people probably don't have much time for diagnosis and would simply flash to stock and send it out the door.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
I noticed today that my phone does not vibrate on notifications. When I put it in silent mode, it will vibrate for phone calls but not for any other notification such as SMS, Google Voice, etc. Anyone else having this issue?

EDIT...hopefully this will help someone. After reading the forum for a bit I found a reference to the Sound Manager app. I downloaded it and checked the settings. For whatever reason, vibrate for notifications for turned off on my phone. The strange thing is, I cant find this setting anywhere. Under notifications, all I have is the option to change the ringtone. After turning vibrate on in Sound Manager, everything works. So my question is, why isnt there a vibrate on notification setting in my phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] axis01:

[EVO 4G General] pwnst*r:
...a broken front glass. I've had my Evo since launch, naked, and finally dropped it on something hard enough to break it - the parking lot. Needless to say, the glass is cracked, so I'll need to bring it to Sprint (I have TEP), but first, a few questions:

1) I need to unroot (the phone is still very usable), but if I get an exchange, is the newest version of Android rootable for the Evo4G?

2) If it's NOT rootable, I know a guy who replaces glass on iPods, iPhones, and other smartphones, (including the 4G) and he'll charge me for the glass and that's it (<$50). Problem is, now it has a few nicks in the side, and that will bug the **** out of me.

Any ideas/tips from anyone that's gone through this with Sprint or suggestions otherwise?

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] Sunsparc:
You'll get referred to Asurion unless the tech is feeling exceptionally nice that day.

They've been cracking down on courtesy repairs recently, mainly because the front assemblies are around $100 a pop.

If you get an exchange you will be able to root using Revolutionary (do a search). I've done several.

Go to amazon, the digitizer is anywhere between $11-$20... Not a real tough fix...
[EVO 4G General] xredgambit:
I'd go the amazon route as well. My friend fixed his wife's evo pretty quickly and for $15 I think.
[EVO 4G General] pwnst*r:
Wow, thanks everyone! I do have TEP for the phone, but replacing it myself doesn't look to difficult and I'm pretty handy. I already have the torx and pry tools, so I may just go that route. Thanks for the feedback!
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
And even if you don't want to do it yourself, there is no need to actually take it to a sprint store. They will just tell you to call Asurion.
[EVO 4G General] pwnst*r:
So this third party company basically just handles the claims?
[EVO 4G General] mobius999:
Not necessarily. I'm on my 4th screen replaced at no charge from my local store. I have TEP, the sheet shows $35 for screen repair without it. 3 times I walked in and was out in 30-40min. Once they had no screens and gave me a loaner while a new shipment came in.

Perhaps corporate stores are just referring to Asurion now, but all the stores in my area still repair in shop.
[EVO 4G General] jcorey:
I just had to turn in a phone because the USB data lines were not working. They refused to do any diagnosing while it was rooted. You might be able to try a stock-looking ROM perhaps. But I unrooted following guides here, took it in, got the new phone a while later, rooted it, and I'm back.

Nine days later, I drop the phone on concrete face-down. So now I'm sitting with this new phone and a cracked screen. Ebay has a number of complete housings with LCD for $40-60. With that, swap in your motherboard and it should be all good. I will be going this route over the next few days.

Ifixit.com has a guide to take it apart. You have to do the first few steps to see what model LCD your phone uses. Some have a wide ribbon cable and some have a narrower one. I just looked this afternoon and mine is a wide type cable. Maybe older phones are narrow.
[EVO 4G General] {ParanoiA}:
Go with number 2 because it should be easy to fix to do. And just deal with the side nicks and scratches. After all it was your own fault for not having it protected somehow.
[EVO 4G General] pwnst*r:
Nowhere did I say it WASN'T my fault. It's not like I'm out to **** over Sprint. I think having the phone since launch and never dropping it naked is pretty ****ing good in its own right, thank you very much.
[EVO 4G General] Xedroid:
I had the Otterbox Commuter (which is an amazing case, imo) from day one (Dec 2010), but have since gone naked. The phone is too sexy to cover it up with anything. I gladly take the risk of dropping it.
[EVO 4G General] AHrubik:
Bottom 20% of my digitizer went bad. Sprint said they'd fix it for $35 till they found out it was rooted. They said if I brought it back with stock software they'd still do it. I brought it back with a stock ROM but they claimed water damage and wouldn't fix it. Dirty ****ers.

For $20 and an hours worth of time I fixed it myself with a part from Amazon. You'll need to pick up a safe pry tool kit ($2). I ordered one setup for an iPod and it worked fine. They also say you'll need a T4 driver but you'll need a T5. Lowes has a Torx multitool that works great for $10.

There is a youtube video that shows step by step how to replace the EVO digitizer.

I was being a bit loud in front of everyone in the store and you should have seen teh look on his retarded face. these doosh bag techs at sprint suck!! they would rather find a way out of fixing it than actually fixing it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micro2112:
I havent been able to keep up with NC development as much as I'd like, so after reading many directions and many posts I figured it'd be faster to tap the collective wisdom...

Current setup:: first gen nook, 1.01 rooted with autonooter. (no Clockwork)

Desired setup:: updated to 1.3 with root (i like the ability to jump from ereader to tablet) and CM7.1 on an SD card..

I was thinking of just 8 booting it to restore to stock, then upgrading to 1.3 and using manualnooter... Could I flash that update without the restore step?

then using [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957] to get CM7 working..

Is that all correct? I just want a sanity check before i start flashing.
