I have never had issues with mine and personally like it a lot (minus the obvious like glare). Although some say that the Xoom has a "lower" image quality than other devices.

What in particular are you referring to?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaFi0s0:
Well according to my friend, when using word selection on the keyboard he will press the 3rd word but the 4th word will be selected instead.

My Nexus One was just a nightmare, was unusable when in bed, and generally poor everywhere else.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omac_ranger:
I am able to select single character words like "a" with the screen completely zoomed out on a website without any issues. As far as keyboard goes, I use Thumb Keyboard and have never had a issue with word selection or correction
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:

Thanks guys, I went and got a xoom, very happy with it, I found out it uses a touch sensor by a company called Atmel.
[Captivate General] Vinhwut:
My phone is a SGH-i896, Samsung Galaxy S Captivate from Rogers,

I am extremely frustrated. My phone isn't rooted. I recently found out my phone was available for a 2.2->2.3 update so I decided to do it.

I downloaded Kies and connected my phone to the computer. Kies picked it up and told me to initiate the update. I did. After a while it told me there was an "error" with the update and I'd have to do an emergency firmware repair... what the hell? I proceeded to do what it asked me to do an emergency repair, but even that failed and it told me to "try again later"...

So, I tried "again later" but this time instead of getting the digger android I when I initiated the recovery mode (Hold volume up+down and connect the USB) I get the "phone-!-computer" screen. Now I'm stuck like this.

I searched around and someone said if you hold volume up+down and then hold power, and then when you see the BSOD, and it flashes, release power and it should boot up in download mode... but when I attempt there it just flashes then goes back to the BSOD.

What are my options to fix the phone aside from going to a service center and most likely having to send it in for repair?

Kies broke my phone. Ugh.
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
In your case, try (from a powered-off state) holding Vol+/Vol-, and then plug in your USB cable. That should kick you to download mode. If you still get the phone--!--pc screen, just try flashing from there. As far as ODIN and other programs are concerned, that's download mode.
[Captivate General] Vinhwut:
Doing this still shows the phone--!--pc screen... I've tried tons of combinations and fiddling around with it but nothing works it seems.
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
Just so we can give you clear directions, at the end of this, where do you want to be? On the stock rom, on a custom rom, Froyo, Gingerbread, etc? The steps to do those different things will vary what you need to do.

As a first step in all of those, though, you'll need to use either Heimdall or Odin to flash your phone, and you should have the Samsung drivers downloaded and installed (if you haven't already).
[Captivate General] Vinhwut:
I want to be able to upgrade it to 2.3 more or less. If that's not possible, just to get my phone back in working condition... I'm close to calling Rogers to see what they can do if I can't figure this out on my own.

I guess I'll look up some information on Heimdall/Odin then about flashing (I really have limited knowledge in this area) - will doing any of this void my warranty?
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
I was hoping that would be your response. Go to this thread. TRusselo whipped up a bunch of Odin one-clicks to get you back to stock Rogers packages, one of which is called "2.3.3 Gingerbread WITH bootloaders" (you can CTRL+F for that exact phrase). That should get you back to a working state.

Just make sure you don't pull out the cable or lose power while you're using it. That would guarantee you'll end up having to send it back.

And technically, it will and won't void your warranty. Flashing anything but stock stuff directly from Rogers probably voids it, but if this works properly, it's going to look exactly the same as if they did it, so you should be fine.
[Captivate General] Vinhwut:
Thanks jm, I'll give this a try and post my results
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
Good luck. Just make sure to read the directions very carefully - it should be pretty self-explanatory, but it's better to be as safe as possible.
[Captivate General] Vinhwut:
All fixed following jmtheiss' instructions! Thanks plenty!
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
Glad to hear you are back up and running Vinhwut. And jmtheiss, you provided clear instructions to get him there. That's how help should be given.
[Nexus S General] SS2006:
which of the recent governors gives best performance?

lazy, interactive, smartassv2?

Thanks guys
[Nexus S General] tkgod:
I just use Ondemand. I've tried others but I always end going back to it.

I've heard interactive is good for performance. I was under the impression that lazy and smartass were more geared towards battery saving.
[Nexus S General] corythug:
I use lazy or ondemand typically.

Follow the leader @corythug ;)
[Nexus S General] simms22:
for performance, ondemand with a sampling rate of 15000 and up threshold of 98.
[Nexus S General] Naa Laa:
simms, I am assuming this will drain battery faster as the default sampling rate is 40000. Am I correct?

Sampling Rate – An interval (in microseconds) at which the governor will poll for updates. When this happens, the governor will decide whether to scale the CPU up or down.

Up Threshold – Defines a percentage from 1% to 100%. When the CPU load reaches this point, the governor will scale the CPU up.
[Nexus S General] surveysays:
i like smartassV2 1200 / 100
[Nexus S General] simms22:
no. itll actually be a little better on battery, a little more efficient than the default. and itll give the ui a little speed boost.
[Nexus S General] SS2006:
Isn't interactive supposed to be a 'better OnDemand'
[Nexus S General] dpeeps74:
I'm thinking it's the opposite, that on demand was an improved interactive, but I could be wrong. I really don't notice much difference between any of them. On lazy and smartassv2 I seem to get more random problems. Really though, what's best questions are left for you to explore and find out. Some people on these threads use their phone for most their computing needs and some barely even use their phone.

[Nexus S General] neo_x22000:
i use smartass 1200/200 on matrix 10.0 kernal n havent had any issues..i get awesome battery life 18+ hours with light to moderate use
[Nexus S General] Paleryder:
I'm voting for interactive, I've had great battery life and performance from it fwiw
[Nexus S General] gellow:
What's actually the difference? Is there any guide to read?
[Nexus S General] Naa Laa:
ondemand – Available in most kernels, and the default governor in most kernels. When the CPU load reaches a certain point (see “up threshold” in Advanced Settings), ondemand will rapidly scale the CPU up to meet demand, then gradually scale the CPU down when it isn't needed.

interactive – Available in newer kernels, and becoming the default scaling option in some official Android kernels. The interactive governor is functionally similar to the ondemand governor with an even greater focus on responsiveness.

conservative – Available in some kernels. It is similar to the ondemand governor, but will scale the CPU up more gradually to better fit demand. Conservative provides a less responsive experience than ondemand, but can save battery.

performance – Available in most kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the “max” set value at all times. This is a bit more efficient than simply setting “max” and “min” to the same value and using ondemand because the system will not waste resources scanning for CPU load.

powersave – Available in some kernels. It will keep the CPU running at the “min” set value at all times.

userspace – A method for controlling the CPU speed that isn't currently used by SetCPU. For best results, do not use the userspace governor.

smartass – Included in some custom kernels. The smartass governor effectively gives the phone an automatic Screen Off profile, keeping speeds at a minimum when the phone is idle.

SOURCE: http://setcpu.com/#7
[Nexus S General] Sykkr0:
I've tried different configurations but always end up going for ondemand.
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
There is no "best governor", just like there's no best brand of beer. My favorite, however, is smartassv2. Great performance and battery life - probably one of the better compromises.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resetreflectt:
I'm sure many of you have heard their plans to drop unlimited.

First we started getting ****tier service (My 3G has been horrid lately) and now this.

Any thoughts?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enik_fox:
Last time I checked they are dropping it from everything but phones
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resetreflectt:
Check technobuffalo or phonedog or any other tech site. It's also phones. I'm praying it's only for new customers if not then I guess I have no reason to brag about Sprint anymore.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzake:
If they get rid of it for phones I'm off to verizom
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resetreflectt:
That's what I said too but people are saying the plans are just a little bit cheaper with sprint. But I am considering Verizon considering a ten dollar difference, I would so rather have faster speeds and LTE. But the expenses of transitioning and new phones sounds annoying.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kijp15:
That's gay.. is there a specific date on when they were gonna drop unlimited?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vansmack:
I did.

http://www.technobuffalo.com/mobile-devices/sprint-lowers-its-data-prices-undercuts-the-competition/

And no it's not:

"The $49.99/6GB and $79.99/12GB plans are both compatible with all Mobile Broadband devices sold by Sprint, including tablets, dedicated mobile hotspot devices, USB modems, netbooks and notebooks"

That does not say phones.

Nor does Sprint's press release:

http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=2105

IT DOES NOT APPLY TO PHONES PEOPLE.

Yet.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resetreflectt:
Breath of fresh air lol. But there's the yet part. I wouldn't doubt them doing it soon the way they're headed. I blame the iPhone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Windst:
I believe I have unlimited data on my plan.

When I was with ATT, when they changed unlimited to data caps, i stayed grandfathered into unlimited, as did my boss who is also still on ATT

so shouldnt i still be grandfathered into having unlimited with Sprint?

.

nvm. I understand what this means now.

I hope the phone plans never change, and if they do i hoped im grandfathered in... Caps in the US are ridiculous.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
Frankly, I think, the only thing Sprint has going for it is the unlimited data on smartphones and even that doesnt help. For the few customers that have good sprint coverage, well...they win. My coverage is disappointing at best and I told an exec rep today that the unlimited data is the only reason I'm staying with Sprint. I dont care about etf's and contracts, if Im not getting what I think I should be getting, Ill put my money to better use. I doubt Ill still be on their network by the time they finish the Network Vision process. And coincidentally my contract ends when its supposed to be completed(or almost), May 2013. So, death of unlimited data or my wit's end(coming sooner than data caps) is when Ill be switching to Verizon.

But for now, Im [hardly]thankful for the [super slow]unlimited data.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punwik:
I agree, I havent even been able to use my 4g since I got with sprint over a year ago! I knew this would happen when they said the bull**** iphone was coming to sprint. I guess I will b going to verizon after my contract is up as well!:mad:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
Same for me I'm so tired of this crap. They're on breach of contract if u ask me. We are all paying for a service that we can't even use. I can't wait for the galaxy nexus to come out for Verizon and boom I'm gone to big red.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryandoubleu:
it does not apply.....

This change does not apply to cell phones. Sprint has already updated their system and if you go to their website you can still get unlimited data phones. Even if they did apply this to phones, existing customers would still keep their unlimited just like when AT&T made the switch
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YourMainDude:
I just went on there and there unlimited is the same price as my unlimited for AT&T ... only thing is that here in Miami speeds suck even on 4G...

[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
LOL all the builds do that -.- gb, froyo....
[GT540 Optimus General] tejasjadhav:
GB source was ~2.5GB big. ICS is almost 3 times. So I think it would be around 180 - 200 MB.
[GT540 Optimus General] mikegapinski:
soruce is 10gb just after download and 35 after swift build :(

To developers:

Ics repo is using different device configs so quarx, mur4ik or any "ready" device folder won't work :( And framework audio files are not maching GB ones so i will need to use generice CA audio witch should work nice ... And I needed to add extra ram to even start the build ... 16gb of ddr3 is min and at least 4 cores at 4ghz is needed to build ICS fine

But anyways !

[GT540 Optimus General] mikegapinski:
Who cares ! It is enough to run Ics - I am 100% sure
[GT540 Optimus General] wwenigma:
two basic requirements to run Ice Cream Sandwich update smoothly, all android devices must have 256 MB RAM or more and also decent GPU since Hardware-accelerated 2D drawing might be needed, 2D acceleration depends on your phone GPU not the CPU so, there’s no problem if your smartphone still powered with ARMv6.

Yep. :) For smooth run. :)
[GT540 Optimus General] eoghan2t7:
Maybe Mike could work with pebe or another dev to get this made quicker?
[GT540 Optimus General] G00fY2:
I'm very sceptical about that. The GUI seems to be much costlier then GB, so I don't think you will be able to create a smooth ICS based ROM.
[GT540 Optimus General] eoghan2t7:
I think it should run smooth Google updated there API for better hardware support for CPU and gpu.
[GT540 Optimus General] G00fY2:
But that have no effects in lowering ram usage.

But we will see.:)

I was thinking along the lines of a cool master box nice big one a decent mother board decent graphics 8gb ram then build from there i saw one in the shops $1200 when i will have that kind of money to play with god knows.

Before you say it i would really prefer not to sell my tablet lol
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
yeah i saw a magazine on the best custom built computer. everything is top end including the best windows7 64 bit version but for building roms you just need to install ubuntu or any other linux so cuts abit of the cost amd processors cost a lot less then intels
