Like I said, I was unaware of this until calling Motorola's customer service line. Guess I'll have to pay more attention next time I go tablet shopping. In the meantime I'm still loving my Xoom plus I can just tether through my phone if I need to get online that bad.
[Xoom General] majikfox:
I have the opposite impression of the Micro USB charging: If I need to charge the Xyboard all I need is a standard mini USB cable. If I lose the proprietary charger for the Xoom I'm f***** until I order and receive a new one. I am quite pleased with the change to micro USB charging.
[Xoom General] big ach:
The micro USB charger for the xyboard is not a standard one apparently, if you use any micro USB charger other than the one provided it will still charge, just very slooooooooowly though!

What I like about my xyboard charger though is that I can also charge my phone with it, which is convenient at times!
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
I have zero interest in the Xyboard because it isn't a Google Experience Device. I will be holding out until the next Google sanctioned tablet. I want Android plain and raw.
[Xoom General] wizayne:
Not to nitpick but i would like to point out that the charger for the kindle fire and a Vizio tablet sold at Walmart are both microusb and are both higher. The Vizio charger I am using to charge my Galaxy S right now and it comes in at 2000mAh. It makes charging time drop to less than half the stock charger which was well under 1A.

The rest of your post was dead on the nuts. Happy New Year my friend.
[Xoom General] wizayne:
Hell yeah, I could've gotten any tablet and only grabbed two Xooms because this is THE GEXDEV. I prefer many other tablets to this for a variety of reasons but i love running wing/stingray nightlies depending on which of my Xooms it is for. The other plus? it's built like a tank which makes it great for my 3yr old daughter to play with provided with an otterbox case; I have zero worries as it's survived many falls. But if it did die that would give me an excuse to get the latest and greatest... I just can't see any other tab out there that I want more than the OG daddy.
[Xoom General] wattstek:
I just got a Xyboard from Asurion (Replaced stolen Xoom)

As a Long time Techie and Owner of the Xoom since April 2011, I gotta say I like the Xyboard! Yes no SD Support :( that is the worse. But Damn I like the way it looks and feels! lol.. way thinner and screen looks better :)

It also runs smoother than my original xoom (stock rom). I have only played with it for a few days, so far so good. Yes I agree that there are better android tablets out now, but I'm working with what I got and I like it
[Xoom General] jnc8651:
at first i totally hated having a propriety charger for my xoom but then i realized how much faster it charges because of it. Yes i think it would be better if it could charge via either usb or via the propriety moto charger
[Xoom General] got556:
Really debating picking up one of these but I just can't bring myself to pay the 80GB fee on top of the $400+ for the 16GB based on the hardware.

If only they would have went with Tegra 3 or their own quad core I think this would sell a lot better. Motorola was first to the game with the Xoom, and now way way behind in the game. WTF Motorola. Also they're really screwing the pooch in keeping their bootloaders locked. XDA and it's devs, while a small number of us, are the ones that truly test all the devices, find the bugs, fix the issues, etc. We are the beta testers for all gadgets known to man today.

May run to the VZW store across the street and compare one to my Samsung 10.1.

I really want a 4G tab, but like I said, just not sure I can justify the 80/mo pricetag that comes with it while I enjoy 4G LTE on my phone for $30/mo grandfathered in unlimited.
[Xoom General] big ach:
Where are you getting the $80/month figure? I pay 30/month for 2GB for my xyboard.

If you have a 4g phone with unlimited data why don't you just tether that to your Samsung tab by using either wifi hot spot or Bluetooth? Problem solved :-)
[Xoom General] got556:
I do that already with the 10.1 but a wifi xyboard is not available ATM and who knows if one ever will be. I suppose paying for two gigs wouldnt be bad then just never use the data and rely on my unlimited on my phone to tether...I got the 80 from the 10 gb plan bc I know i would go over the other two options.
[Xoom General] big ach:
Kinda what I do right now.... Use the 2GB from Verizon whenever I need it on the xyboard... If I feel like I will start going over I switch to tethering through my Atrix 2 and my unlimited data plan on at&t via Bluetooth!
[Xoom General] got556:
Thanks for the info. Still think the tab is a bit overpriced however. I'm gonna go to the VZW store tomorrow and play around with one.
[Xoom General] flarbear:
Portrait mode not visible with polarized glasses

I just noticed one thing about the Xyboard display today. I was wearing my polarized sunglasses and when I turned it to portrait the display disappeared. This is a problem with some LCD panels - if all of the LCD cells are aligned the same way then you can't read it in a particular orientation with polarized sunglasses. (It's really annoying that some gas stations have their LCD panels aligned just perfectly that you can't read them without taking off your sunglasses - grrr... ;) ) Most devices should be manufactured so that the conflicting orientation is not an orientation that users would tend to use in practice, but they chose the portrait orientation for this screen unfortunately.

My Samsung GT10, for comparison, is readable at all orientations, but the colors are a little wonky as you spin it. They likely have some of the cells aligned in different directions so that you see something, but the colors may be off. It may not seem optimal, but it generally works reasonably well in terms of usability and the color issues are minor, though noticeable.

I'd prefer that if they are going to have all the cells aligned the same way that they would hopefully choose a 45 degree angle so that you can at least see something in both standard directions. Note that turning it as much as 30 degrees brings back most of the viewability so the 45 degree angle might detract slightly from viewing it in either of the typical orientations (portrait or landscape), but not enough to be a practical problem whereas right now they have 0 viewability in portrait and full viewability in landscape. I'd rather have 80% or so viewability in either, but at least I'd retain the choice.

(And, for those who might ask, both portrait orientations are equally unviewable whereas both landscape orientations are equally bright so this can't be solved by using the "other" portrait orientation - you just have to resign yourself to landscape orientation when you are wearing polarized sunglasses...)

Hello,

Where did you buy you're mz617?
[Xoom General] chevdor:
I am sure (at least I hope!) the folks at Motorola have visibility regarding the release date of the new 4core CPUs. Let´s say that everyone here is right and those new killer CPUs are coming tomorrow. Then why would motorola JUST release new tablets based on the TI OMAP?

That may mean that those new 4core WILL show up but in a while... So it is worth getting a 'Xoom fixed' (ie Xoom 2) tablet in the meantime.

I have seen that the new Tegra 3 may actually embed 5 cores. To summarize, 1 low consumption and 4 'beasts'. That sounds cool on the paper but how much effort will it take to support this in order to keep a good efficiency/power consumption ratio.

I am personnally about to jump for a Xoom 2, still waiting for the CES to get a feel on what´s coming up but I become skeptical (realistic?) that new devices with the new chips will come soon.

Make me be wrong :)
[Xoom General] jaekidd1012:
I'm waiting until after CES to make a final choice on what to replace my Xoom with. The Acer A700 seems promising on paper (my personal feelings on the build quality of their products notwithstanding) and I'm sure Samsung and maybe a couple others will also announce something new next week.
[Xoom General] ld-runner:
i just bought a 32GB xyboard 8.2 on eBay for $450. not bad since i will be able to use data month to month....

my question is;

will the 4g data stay connected when the device sleeps? meaning, will email still get delivered and will programs like IM+ Pro be able to run 24x7? (like the 3g ipad does)

thanks
[Xoom General] f4systems:
Yes the data does remain active while the tablet sleeps. I know that email definetly comes in, also if you don't shut off notifications it makes an alert sound when you get new mail.
[Xoom General] ld-runner:
thanks. can't wait to get it.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Now that we have root I enjoy my Xyboard even more. Just the ability to use Titanium Backup is huge, the fact I now have my Xyboard exactly how I had my Xoom is that much better.

Now if only we had some talented developers to get a bootstrap method and some custom roms going...
[Xoom General] lucasarran:
I have owned the Xoom 2 since the first day it was released in the UK and I could not ask more from this tablet. Does everything I need to do in a normal day without an issue. But the constant reboots in the browser does annoy me alot when trying to do something. What would be great is to see ICS and bootstrap/safestrap on the Xoom 2.

@SamsungSupport: @Zeon45 Sorry about that! The update to your device was pushed by Google. Please contact them for further info. Thanks, ^jc #GalaxyNexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Scottatron:
And the update was what? A version change? Volume bug fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeon45:
The volume fix, I'm still on 4.0.1 it just changed from D to F.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeon45:
The point is if Samsungs twitter is correct my non yakju Nexus gets updated by Google rather than Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snoemannen:
According to Samsung Sweden it is google pushing out the updates BUT samsung has to review the updates and do quality control for local carriers first so I guess it depends on what the nature of the update is if it's going to be delayed or not.

We have yakjuxw here aswell.

This comes from their facebook page though and they have been saying all kinds of crap there before so not sure if it's like that or not but it sounds like they had researched it better this time so it can be correct.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Guys.. it really doesn't matter what your device is you are going to get updates no matter what..

Not everyone gets updates at the same time no matter what so there isn't a point in worrying about it..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
I wouldn't even bother listening to a company's twitter feed. They usually don't know the details (or anything for that matter...)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Precisely. Considering there are staggered rollouts for OTAs anyways, there's a good chance you'll get your update to your "Samsung" phone before "Google" phones lol. It really doesn't matter. Nexus is a Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
This. All updates are pushed by Google, whether you are running yakju, or a localized build. However, as Snoemannen said, the first non-yakju OTA's will generally tend to come out later than the first yakju OTA's, as Samsung reviews them. This is not to say that if you have a yakju build, you will get your OTA before a non-yakju build - only saying that the first yakju update will come before the first non-yakju update. Now, as long as that first person grabs the update URL, then we all should have updates quickly! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meets34:
It's time to stop yakking about all these different builds and be happy that Google will get you all the updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I thought this was a discussion board, where we are supposed to... discuss things. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meets34:
Just sayin' all the worries about the builds were overblown.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Look, everyone wants to be the first to get the latest-and-greatest version. Period. What we are trying to do is facilitate that.

Friends, It seems that some users have successfully run ClockworkMod Recovery, but I myself have had no joy. The past two days I scoured this forum for fixes. I'll admit this is my first attempt to flash a custom ROM, and no little about Android, but as a legacy COBOL/DB2 programmer, I thought I was up to the challenge. Could you please review my procedure and advise.

Reference threads:

[ROM][2.2] »» Cognition 4.5.3 «« | The Original Captivate Rom

I897UCKB1 - rooting & lagfixing [Archive]

[KERNEL] stock+Voodoo stable 5.x for Captivate

recovery 3e modified to work like recovery 2e

[Q] Rom Manager/ClockworkMod recovery - need help

[ROM][2.3.3] Cognition 5 v2 | {4000 lockscreens, deodexed 5 times, rooted 20

[ASK]Answers to all your questions...!

[RECOVERY] 3e Recovery Modded w/ No Verification

PROBLEM:

Using ROM Manager to install ClockworkMod Recovery, ROM MGR indicates current

recovery is ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2 but DOESN'T DOWNLOAD FASTY II ROM or do anything except reboot into Samsung Recovery 3e or the stock at&t ROM. (note: originally I wanted to install Cognition 4.5.3, but decided on FASTY II in the download list for my inaugural installation.)

PLATFORM:

Samsung SGH-I897 Captivate for at&t

Firmware: stock 2.2 I897UCKB1 at&t froyo update from eclair

COMPLETED TASKS:

(note that before executing procedures I would open App Mgmt and force close most running apps including LookOut Security).

Set option Settings/Applications/Development/USB Debugging

Rooted phone

App software intsalled: SuperUser v3.0.7(41) bin v3.0.3

App software installed: Titanium Backup - returned SU auth allowed

Ran backups - normal eoj

App software installed: ROM Manager premium - returned SU auth allowed

Ran ROM Manager ClockworkMod Recovery - normal eoj returned CWM installed and displayed BOTH Current and Latest Recovery as ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2

Ran ROM Manager Download - no exceptions, but result was undetermined.

Here, after perusing the XDA-Dev forum, I determined the following fix was in order to allow unsigned program execution:

App software installed: Root Explorer v2.17.2

Copy modified '3e' Recovery file to \System\bin

Rebooted and flashed CWM again via Rom Manager - same as before: no exceptions, but no variances.

Discovered one post advising to:

Remove external SD card and reboot per forum thread and Reran CWM Recovery, but still no variance or exception.

THIS IS THE CURRENT STATE.

I didn't continue with DesignGears post:

"Also you cannot just replace the recovery file... you have to replace the images

in sbin or in the zImage its self, otherwise you get errors and cannot do anything." because I don't understand the terminology. Could someone please elaborate on this specification?

So, I'd really appreciate a second set of eyes here before I run through this whole routine again. I haven't read every thread here, but if someone could direct me to the answers, I'd be grateful. Thanks for your help.

I went with the ODIN installation and it worked to a tee.

A note for Noobs: Before you start check the specs for your ROM to see if it's based on Android 2.2 (froyo) or 2.3 (gingerbread) to determine which kernel to flash. The chefs use abbreviations (i.e. cognition is based on KB1) that you can look up the meaning for in this post:

IF HAVEN'T ALREADY, READ THIS FIRST
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
It does not matter which you use.

This is a transitory kernel and the entire point of flashing it to get cwm is to FLASH A CUSTOM ROM, which will flash a compatible kernel with it.

So, there is no need to boot into the os after the initial kernel flash, just boot into recovery after, which will now be cwm and flash whatever.

Unless you're going from froyo to gingerbread, then yo will need to flash the correct bootloaders with Odin/heimdall

3e recovery problem..need help on file location...

Hi,

I have been looking at information on putting the 3e recovery .zip file on my phone. I watched a video, this really should be simple BUT, things are never simple for me!

I followed instructions UNTIL I came to

Copy modified '3e' Recovery file to \System\bin

I have a recovery with permissions rwxr-xr-x 404.77k in the ROOT

I have another recovery.rc permissions rw-r -- r -- 1.99k in the ROOT

When I go to the system/bin (via Root Explorer) there is NO recovery in there.

Can I/or should I copy over the recovery (404.77k) in ROOT?

or should I put the 3e recovery file in the \System\bin?

Could this be because I did NOT root with superoneclick and used the Fugu Root Method and it put the recovery file in a different directory?

ConfusedThanks for any help.

If u r still running stock i897uckk4, then just get the .tar version of this kk4 based kernel [KERNEL][KK4][12/10/11] Corn Kernel v6.03 w/ custom CwM5, Ext4, working nandroid and put it in the PDA slot of Odin3 v 1.83 or similar and connect ur phone in download mode to ur pc and hit start after Odin shows recognition of ur phone. It only takes Odin about 8 seconds to install, then ur phone will reboot. Afterwards u can use the button combo (hold volume+ and volume - and power button at same time until u see the att splash screen. Then release and u should be in CWM Recovery).

Here is an Odin (extract it from the .zip once u have it on ur pc. Then right click it and run as administrator, click the PDA tab, navigate on ur pc to the .tar Corn Kernel, and etc.)... View attachment 858759

what was the original reason you wanted cwm? to flash a rom? cause...you have the that you need to do that now.

power down...both volume buttons and power til you see the at&t screen then let go, that will boot into cwm.

from there, plug your phone into pc, go to mounts and storage, and mount usb storage, the on your pc tranfer rom to your internel sdcard...

Got an issue. After following the steps on page 1 of this thread, I then download ROM Manager, installed Clockwork Recovery (but didn't get the Samsung Captivate option), then I rebooted into Revovery, and my screen got stuck. All it showed was "CwM recovery systems corps" and a gray bar at the bottom of the screen. So, I pulled the battery, rebooted, and the Clockwork Recovery mode came up just fine. I think I did something wrong. Can you help?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:

You are absolutely right, not very nice, absolutely right. I realized that NOWHERE to be found were the words ROM Manager on the first page. It's just that I've always automatically used ROM Manager to go into Clockwork Recovery. Anyway, I unstalled it, and the method now works flawlessly.

Have a new and newly rooted NST/N2E/Nook Simple Touch using salsichad2's image which installs ES File Manager.

But this FM will only look at files outside of the OS, like an SD card, or over the 'net...
