sorry, you might wait

you might wait, because the system need to be disconnected of the network and reconnect
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Lol its either one or the other bro. The switch takes some time.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
There may be a way to speed up the computational process, fractionally, but the overall speed of change is bound by the pure physics of a connection registering with the variable factor of signal strength.

I find that 2G is more than quick enough to do most of the things I ask of it (have you given it a fair shot?), and the things I need 3G for (d.loading updates/watching videos etc) take a few processes to get to, by which time 3G has loaded up already.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] alexnm:
Aw, man, that sucks... I'll stick with slow 2G. If only we had EDGE coverage where I live.

Thank you guys, anyway :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] davidsteele1975:
Yeah it's a shame that it takes a few moments! It must be because it uses the same component in the handset, whereas does Wifi use a different part of the handset?
[Xoom General] zone23:
Lets just say for fun that Moto released Windows 8 for our Xoom, and that it worked as well as Android. Would you switch to it? Lets not start the license issue say you could buy a copy. Would you dual boot? Just wondering how many would give it a run, I think I would.
[Xoom General] theoner1:
Yes in a heartbeat. Always wanted to try windows tablet and able to use full blown microsoft office products.
[Xoom General] zone23:
I wonder if you would need a special version of office (ARM) or if office 2007 would work? That would be very cool if it did.
[Xoom General] BatGnat:
They have already shown office running on arm, but it was a recompiled version.

All software will need a new arm version.

[Xoom General] liftman-:
wouldn't run windows on any hardware I own lol
[Xoom General] wardo5757:
i would do it in a heart beat! im a verizon customer and love android. but if verizon had a better windows phone i would be all over it. i have an xbox and several winows laptops in my house so i think i would love the intergration. i admit, i dont even know if it would intergrate that well, im just speculating..
[Xoom General] al mon:
Absolutely not. My office just got the Samsung Slate Windows 7 tablet and we installed Win8 beta. The slate has 4gb RAM/64GB storage and an Intel icore5 at 1.66ghz. At almost $1,200, its very expensive for what it is. Heavy and has a gigantic fan in it.....:confused:

The entire concept of Windows in a tablet/slate does not work. Metro navigation is horrible and breaks almost every existing standard for Windows navigation.

To use Win8 Metro without a touch screen, is an excuse for carpal tunnel where every single task now takes twice as many clicks. ESC no longer works as the universal get me back one level.

Overall, my impression of Win8 Metro is very poor. The device we have has an icore5 in it and it is not snappy. Its smooth but not fast. Navigation is horrible and confusing.

IMHO, Microsoft better fire the UX team on Metro because all they've done is manage to muck up the entire concept of touch and Windows into a completely unusable package.

Android ICS navigation, HC and even Gingerbread are light years ahead in terms of efficient touch navigation implementation. MSFT needs to learn that in mobile, do not marry the desktop metaphor into it. It will not work. iOS and its unhappy marriage in Mac Lion is a perfect example of a big failure. Even Apple made that mistake and couldn't fix it.

Well there is an instruction of how to install Win XP in our Xoom.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SII - please forgive if any typos
[Xoom General] double1:
X86 programs aren't going to run on the arm version of win8 so a lot of the programs that I would be looking forward to won't be compatible out the gate.

Things android lacks that windows has? Java, resizeable &stackable window ui, full fledged browsers with extensions.

Can't compare win8 to ics, maybe to cupcake. Give win on arm a few years and it should improve. That said, i am now 100% commited to android and i believe it is the future of os'es.
[Xoom General] 3devious:
That would be the only way I would keep the XOOM. Android is just a toy to me.
[Xoom General] iBuzman:
Couldn't disagree more... if what I'm running on my Wp7 is even half as well implemented on a tablet then I'm on it. Metro is the first decent differentiation away from 'icon' based interfaces and if I'm not mistaken the Android market has just been updated to a Metro like home screen.

I've played with the Win8 beta too but wouldn't judge MSFT on it when they clearly are capable of a top-notch Metro based OS as per WP7.

But opinions are like assholes, we all got one ;-)
[Xoom General] BereanPK:
Hmmm... I'd think about it...

I always was a MS user, probably always will be. I see the opinions on both sides, and understand both of them... I guess my thoughts lean toward "let me dual-boot and try it, and see if it works for me..."

I would like to give it a test run.

~ BereanPK
[Xoom General] Asphyx:
Well I don't know all that much about Metros cept what I have read and from what I understand you can get rid of the Metro interface and go back to the standard if you choose to.

Metro is really not much more than Windows Media Center type interface that runs over the standard desktop and you can dump out of it if you want to get more of a legacy type screen.

That said I would definitly try it on my Xoom if I could Dual Boot from an SD Card but I would be hesitant to flash it directly as my daily driver. It could be useful for some presentation I do and some Classes I teach but as an everyday operating system for my Pad I really don't see the need until I know it allows me to do something I can't do with ICS.

And I have yet to hear of anything along those lines!

And from what I hear about draconian copy protection I may just pass on Win8 for my desktop as well!

I change my hardware a LOT and they seem to think I am not allowed to do that when I run their OS!

And they wonder why people PIRATE it in the first place?
[Xoom General] 3devious:
You can't run OneNote with ICS.
[Xoom General] Ghost-of-the-Sun:
I would dual boot, because I love metro UI (the launcher I use the most on my phone is Launcher 7) and I am very curious about Win8.

I have Windows 7 on my notebook and it's great, the first os by MS which is very good and has no problems. Not a single crash in months of use!

Only one thing puts me in doubt:

-Windows 98: good

-Windows 2000: not good

-Windows XP: good

-Windows Vista: awful

-Windows 7: very good

-Windows 7: ???
[Xoom General] 3devious:
You whippersnappers with no sense of perspective.

Windows: bad

Windows 2: eh

Windows 3: not too bad

Windows 3.1: better

Windows 3.11 for Workgroups: now you're cooking with gas

Windows NT: blah

Windows NT 4.0: much better

Windows 95: pretty good

Windows 98: good but I wish it had some of the NT 4.0 stuff.

Windows 2000: not the best for games but at least it has the NT stuff.

Windows XP: nice but 64 bit was kind of a joke

Windows Vista: fine if you know how to read but a bit of a hog.

Windows 7: this is a nicer cleaned up Vista with a watered down interface for those who want a spoon fed experience

Windows 8: probably something even simpler with a robust OS under the hood (I hope or it will suck worse than Windows ME that I refuse to include in my list because it SUCKED.)
[Xoom General] PopolZ:
windows me was an operating system? lol

no i wouldn't install windows 8 on my xoom... I'll keep ics. it's smooth and pretty stable.
[Xoom General] kylelwalker1990:
I would have no desire to run WIN8 on my tablet. I can see the possible argument for encouraged development though...
[Xoom General] zbee:
windows CE + windows ME + windows NT = CEMENT :)
[Xoom General] fatman42:
Nope

No, I wouldn't. Windows is fine for sitting at a desk being productive. But that's not why I got a tablet. For me, the tablet's about consumption; ease, intuition and efficiency. ICS meets my requirements.
[Xoom General] slattman92:
I feel like I would at least give it a try, but I probably wouldn't stay with it for very long
[Xoom General] iammodo:
yes i would.

but damn this guy is boring.

[YOUTUBE]wQe11XKkJlY[/YOUTUBE]
[Xoom General] dbam987:
I'd definitely want to dual boot Windows 8 and Android 4.0 on my Xoom. I like both Android and Windows, and want to develop for both environments, so having one device do both would be awesome.

Microsoft did a demo of a Tegra-2 powered device running Windows 8 during CES 2011, which certainly is promising that it can be done on the Xoom: http://blogs.nvidia.com/2011/01/tegra-2-cameos-at-ballmer-ces-keynote-with-windows-on-arm-demo/
[Xoom General] pwolfamv:
Definitely. I don't think I'd remove Android but wouldn't mind dual booting. That said, if after using Windows 8 and not liking it in the ARM/tablet environment, I'd just stick with Android.
[Xoom General] willysp:
Yes - I'd like to try it for a while.

But, no, I wouldn't buy a license for 2 reasons (1) XOOM is about EOL and Windows likes to install keys to HW config (I usually buy OEM keys), (2) I've spent enough money on Windows [various versions, multiple devices] to last me a lifetime.

I currently have 5 licensed (and 0 unlicensed) Windows devices, and 8 running Linux and/or Android (includes phones, tablets, 3 NAS's) on my home network. Don't ever see that number 5 getting higher. But total device population certainly will.

And I have no plans to upgrade my Win7 devices to Win8.

And I used to be a Windows fanboy! I hung on to the end of the WinMo 6.5.x mess - felt like I was one of the last 1,000 WinMo users in the world. At least for now - it's Android, and no looking back.
[Xoom General] new-noob:
Tried windows 8 on laptop and there is still long way to get it running smoothly...

The linux would be an alternative and for sure runs better than windows, myself waiting for opensuse for tablets so if anyone heard news post please :-)
[Xoom General] justpratik3769:
Main Concern for windows 8 on xoom would be

UEFI secured boot

[Xoom General] Jaycoke:
No way, i keep windows in a locked box on my Linux desktop, every once in a while i open the box to remind myself why i don't use windoze as my main os anymore.
[Xoom General] Jaycoke:
KDE Sparks and Ubuntu looks interesting

Google: KDE spark active plasma tablet

Now this i would like to see on my Xoom!
[Xoom General] h0lyc0w:
What a waste of effort that would be, unless you just want to be in the "yep, I did it" crowd.
[Xoom General] smg3d:
never

Would I run Windows on my Galaxy Nexus? never! (ICS)

Would I run Windows on any of my past 5 laptops? never! (gentoo-linux)

Would I run Windows on any of my current 5 laboratory Workstations? never! (gentoo-linux/ubuntu-linux)

Would I run Windows on the workstation I use for 3D-display in my classes? never! (ubuntu-linux)

Would I run Windows on my local 8000 CPU supercomputer? never! (linux)

Would I run Windows on my Xoom? Why? To be incompatible with most of my surrounding? NEVER!!!

If you don't have Dropbox account CLICK HERE to open one and get initial 2.25GB* free instead of 2GB you would normally get without referral.

*must download and install dropbox client to pc for bonus to show.

**completing 'get started' will get you another 250MB for a total of 2.5GB shortly after registering

Now for the rest that do:

Those that would rather make that 5GB uploading form computer:

Enjoy and hury while beta testing lasts!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] asfpf:
Thansk mate. Using the latest version now. Hope to get some more free space...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Idan73:
Note that only auto upload gives you free space. Manual selecting files no matter how big they are even from camera folder will not give you bonus space.

Easily solved though. Turn on autoupload in dropbox client (its limited to 25mb per file for GSM uploads but can be changed to unlimited if you so desire and your plan covers it) and take some 3-5 minute videos with 1080p resolution. Those quickly fill requirements and can be deleted after.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] freemini:
Thank you a lot! I'm just recording nothing for 5 minutes and record again. Gonna get 5gb in no time. I love Dropbox!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] TvBTvB:
Thanks for this! :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Idan73:
Fastest way (tip i saw on g+) is to use beta desktop client provided in first post with those blank videos (you can put any avi or mp4 video on usb as well as long as it is in the dcim/camera foler and has not been uploaded to dropbox before and note 'renaming does not work') and use autorun dropbox import function.

must connect in mass storage mode or just plug microsd card ( usb reader and external hard drive does work as long as you keep proper folder structure dcim/camera). allow import to complete then in dropbox client 'pause syncing'. go to dropbox 'camera uploads' folder and delete files. again in dropbox client 'resume syncing' and thats it.

you just maxed 5GB without wasting all that time and bandwith!

note:you must have at least 4.5GB in pics and videos plus that one initial picture

another note: your maximum in pics and videos you want to import can not be greater than total dropbox ammount available to you or it will fail to sync properly. so best keep it around 5 just in case.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mallorcahd2:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] TvBTvB:
1 (Not required) Exit dropbox (right click tray: Exit)

2 Collect 5GB of .avi's on your pc (If you have 5GB storage space, if you have 2GB, collect 2GB of .avi's)

3 Copy the .avi's to your phone in DCIM/Camera folder

4 Install/Update your desktop(Windows etc. Not android!) dropbox client from the first post

5 Make sure dropbox is running

6 Connect your phone in mass storage mode

7 From the action pop-up in Windows choose: Import with dropbox

8 Wait until import is complete

9 While dropbox is uploading the files (After indexing!) right-click the tray icon and select 'pause syncing'

10 Delete the avi's from Dropbox/Camera Uploads folder

11 Right-click the tray icon and select 'resume syncing'

12 Done!

Thanks to Idan73 of course! :D

Reread all 3 of my posts on this page dealing with this and you'll have your solution.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Idan73:
Just small correction and explanation on this.

You can put 5GB of videos right away because you initially have 2GB at least and as long as you have at least largest individual file size free in the account you'll be fine. Cause it will be auto bumped by 500MB increments.

My note in one of the posts above referred to people with for example 4gb free trying to sync 17gb i read somewhere.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kalinof:
The whole concept for script is based on features of iRunAtEvent.exe - Windows Mobile tool, created by [hjgode].

Thank Josef :-))

- script is designed to apply notification events to exe and scripts

- script will store each record for created notification and prevent duplicate of same one

- option to restore all record after booting device (you can set output folder)

- script will restore only notification created by him

- on every call, the exe will write a log (iRunAtEvent.log.txt) to the root dir

- option to keep or not log files

- events library is separated to supported and unsupported events

iRunAtEvent - Windows Mobile tool to list and edit notification database

This tool will start an application given by the command line at a specified event.

On every call, the tool will write a log (iRunAtEvent.log.txt) to the root dir.

The arguments supported are:

set appname eventtype	-sets the event eventtype to launch appname

reset appname	-resets ALL events for appname

list	-list all known registered events and the applications to launch

Although there are unsupported events listed in the log file, this does not mean the tool does not support them. In reality,

the OEM (in this case tested on an ITC 730) of the device decided not to fire them (drivers are responsible for events to fire).

You can simply check with your device by using these unsupported events and see, if they work. Simply use the calculator app in your tests.

================================

known events:

TIMECHANGE

SYNCEND

ONACPOWER

OFFACPOWER

NETCONNECT

NETDISCONNECT

DEVICECHANGE

IRDISCOVERED

RS232DETECTED

RESTOREEND

WAKEUP

TZCHANGE

MACHINENAMECHANGE

Unsupported Events:
