I've just been looking at the Xoom 2 but with no ICS and no way to put custom roms on it I think I'll pass. The screen does look nice though :p
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultraman1966:
This review says the Xoom screen is amazing

This one says the contrast ratio is sub standard. I know that there will be variation in measurement but 750:1 and 2000:1 is a huge difference. So who's got the real readings?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mjamocha:
It's a matter of personal taste.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultraman1966:
I don't think you understand, the Contrast ratio should be a fairly stable constant no matter who measures it (obviously different techniques yield different results) but the above two quoted websites are opposite ends of the scale; from being amazing to below average...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
What Mjamocha is saying is important. No matter the specs, if you like the device and it suits you, it's great. If not, whatever the specs, you won't be happy.

As an example, try checking out the Transformer Prime forums. The TP had the best specs but came out fairly broken. Some people are super happy with theirs, some are making do, and many are screaming bloody murder.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultraman1966:
This is very true but a poor quality screen will always remain that; it's a constant that I can't change whereas obviously software I've got plenty of options.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcrudup:
Eh, go find one, and look at the screen; you're either going to like it, or not. Problem solved.

Personally? I have no problem with the Xoom's screen.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultraman1966:
Trouble is few retailers bother having Android tablets on display (in UK) these days. I'm not kidding, just iPads on nice displays...

Besides it's under completely different lighting, plus I can't take it outside...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcrudup:
I hear ya- it's a scavenger hunt to find a US retailer with a Xoom on the display aisles anymore. Pity, 'cause with the ICS ROMs that are out there (for all variants), and the big increase in Tablet-centric Apps since the release 15 mos ago, the devices are still very capable (mine's my "daily driver").

Only an LTE-enabled, Quad-Core tablet will make me give up this Xoom, and apparently none are coming to the US before Q4, AFAIK.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren_Orange:
Has anyone that was buying from Argos received theirs and can they post a few comments.

Ultraman1966 - have you got yours yet off the courier?? I seem to remember reading that it was getting delivered today.

I'm not sure if I should just keep my Tablet S and wait for ICS.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Yeah, I will only pass this Xoom on to my daughter when a spectacular new tablet comes out and only if EOS is 100% into it. I think it will have to be a "Google Experience" tab or at least "fastboot oem unlock" would be nice...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
@warren

/hey

/get the xoom, this device is a beast...

/p.s a select few are testing official ics at the moment so ics on the uk xoom wifi atleast is close, id take a punt at saying withing the next few weeks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren_Orange:
Is ICS OTA available in the UK?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultraman1966:
I got mine delivered today; the box looked it had been opened but everything inside seemed fine so I'll leave it for now (no obvious wear/scratches).

The ICS update is still not live in UK yet but I did get a critical Honeycomb (small) update.

Basically, it's a sturdy tab as I expected but the screen is a bit too reflective. I'm going to try get some matt screen protectors and see if it helps otherwise this will be useless in well lit rooms let alone outside...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren_Orange:
Hi cheers for the update.

That's strange because another forum member who just bought one (I think from Argos too) stated the exact same problem - that the screen was mega reflective and distracting.

I've just got a txt this afternoon saying my Xoom is ready for collection at Argos, now I've had a think last night and I might just keep the Tablet S. I've got till Saturday to collect the Xoom so if I change my mind its there for me.

How are you finding the weight and the quality of the screen panel?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcrudup:
I swear, I'm pretty sure you're the only person I've ever seen who wants a heavier tablet, dude :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren_Orange:
:)

Well thats what got me thinking last night. Is it worth ditching the nice screen and the weight advantages of the Tablet S for the Xoom? Plus I got the Tablet S for £170. So I'd have to sell the Tablet S for about the same and then put another £80 to get the Xoom.

I'm thinking there isn't much logic in that scenario :p

Another important factor in looking at the Xoom was that I thought ICS was OTA in the UK, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

As much as I like the build of the Xoom I think I'm just going to have to put up with the plastic design of the S for now.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultraman1966:
It's solid as a rock, as I said it's very sturdy and feels well built.

How long have you had the Tablet S for?

I think overall the screen is passable (the glare takes getting used to) but the tablet is very responsive to touch and I think I'll stick with Honeycomb till I've got myself more orientated with it.

Did you get ICS for your Nexus S? Ironic that my SGS which is almost identical, is stuck on 2.3.6 :(
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren_Orange:
Hi.

Had the tablet s for a week. Bought it 2nd hand off a forum. I think I will stick with it for the time being as like I said I dont think its worth the outlay to get the Xoom now. If I hadnt of bought the S 1 would have defo got the Xoom last weekfrom argos.

Yeah shame about the Galaxy S. The Nexus hardware is virtually identical. Are there no ICS ROMs for the Galaxy?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zadarblack:
Hello.

Been using my Xoom since day 1 here as well.

I did drop it a lots (like 20 time or more) even one time on concrete directly on the screen lol.

This thing almost indestructible.

As for ICS its should be out internationaly by end of may or half of june max.

Clearly worth it.

My friend using a samsung tab 10.1 got load of trouble and software bug.

I have none. in fact i never had any problem of any sort with it (beside the 3.0 os wich was buggy and not running any app at all or running them in smaller screen not full)

So i would say it is currently the best tablets.

I also dont like cheap plastic feeling (i hate all samsung product because of thats lol cheap ass material and selling the phones and tablet as high as the other is proof they making money on ppl)

As for Sony tablet S i saw some pretty good review its fast stable but the build quality is the same as Samsung stuff... crappy.

I dont have any reflection problem on mine i dont understand what some of you guys saying. I even use it outside in the park (as long as not in direct sunlight)..

Only thing thats make me really really really really (add another 1000 of them) mad... International Xoom wifi are all identical to the US model Only différence are the language files... So its sad thats US version allready on 4.0 and not international version (as i said same hardware and no carrier to slow thing down also software is identical exeption of language only)

Only bad side i ever saw from the Xoom (always 4 to 6 month back from US version in updates)

But hey all other like Samsung and Sony not better most if not all of the device they sell are not at 4.0 yet lol.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultraman1966:
I see, how much did you get it second hand for? Just out of interest.

I can't be bothered to mess with the SGS, now that I have a tablet I'll mainly use it as phone (surprise!) and occasional game of Angry birds; not do enough to warrant the hassle of rooting etc.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcrudup:
FWIW, I got one of these to keep my grimy paws from making the screen unreadable, but it seems to help cut down on glare as a side-effect:

Belkin Screen Overlay for Xoom
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren_Orange:
Got it for £170. So I basically bought it for what I sold my ipad1 for. I like symmetry :)

I'd love to try the Xoom and I think I'd be happier overall with it , but it came a week too late for me :(
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultraman1966:
Hmm, cheapest in UK is 16 GBP but I guess it's worth it in the long run. Thanks for the recommendation.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcrudup:
... which == ~25 USD, which is what I paid for mine at a brick-and-mortar store. There's two in the package (and some screen cleaner and a cloth), too.

It's better than the Zagg ones, IMO, as it's self-adhesive, and you get a chance to play with the alignment a bit before you press it down and "commit"; I didn't have much issue keeping bubbles out where it mattered, either- the only ones I have are off the active screen area.
[LG Optimus Black] xKyrex:
My OB usually lags on some games, on the homescreen, on the camera etc.

Is there anyway to stop this lag?
[LG Optimus Black] raduku009:
what rom you're using ? stock ?
[LG Optimus Black] xKyrex:
Yes, Stock 2.2.2 v10f Rooted

It will be better if I update to the 2.3.4 and root it again?
[LG Optimus Black] BoyBawang2:
As for the homescreen just install Launcher Pro. Its like 4X smoother than it nearest rival. Smoother than my iphone4.
[LG Optimus Black] Antonnzr:
I use CM7 with the stock gingerbread launcher and i have no lag at all in the GUI and most casual games (dont know about processor heavy games though).

As far as I know even upgrading to GB stock (if you can) is much better that froyo.
[LG Optimus Black] xKyrex:
So if I want to update to the 2.3.4 through the LG Updater thing. Is that possible? Will I mantain the root or not?

I really want to reduce some lag...
[LG Optimus Black] darkhokage:
Use smartflash and flash the cracked v20b (2.3.4) software. The only way to update and maintain root. Do backup all your stuff before this and do it at your own risk.

Anyone know if it will work if i flash 2.17 radio over, will it switch back to saying sprint?
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
There are at least 2 threads discussing this. They may not be labeled as such, but they both reference NOT flashing the vm firmware because of this. One thread is in the CDMA dev section, the other I think is in general or q&a.

In a nutshell, you can't fix this. A couple devs are working on it, but nothing concrete yet. Hell, they may not have a solution in the end either, but I'm being hopeful.
[HTC EVO 3D] vat829:
Yeah, I managed to change the lockscreen and pulldown to sprint.. just the call screen still say virgin mobile kinda annoying but i guess i'll deal with. Also i been getting text issues to like getting sms error radio interface resource shortage.
[HTC EVO 3D] jayjam99:
i was having those same sisues (radio interface resource shortage)

Flashed THIS, updated PRL and Profile from within the ROM and havent had the problem since.

Your phone will have the VM crap all over it but it SHOULD fix the SMS error msg that your getting. GOOD LUCK!
[HTC EVO 3D] birddog_61:
Just live with it until sprint gets leaked or released.

TESTED: hw002 retail phone w/ 1.04 ENG hacked bootloader

flashed this, rebooted - and PRI ver matched what i hex-edited into the file, so this is proof the file flashed.

the Virgin Mobile PRI is 1.53.144 this is THE 2.17 SPRINT PRI WITH A PRI# OF 1.54.145 - if your phone reports 145, it accepted this file.

according to Chad he wrote 1.54.145 after flashing but i got 1.53.145 after flashing. Did you get 1.54 or 1.53 after flashing. I wonder if it was a typo by Chad.

Hi,

My HOX reboots after a few minutes every time I lock the screen. The issue started after it was updated to 1.28.

I've factory reset from bootloader, I've re-flashed 1.28 with the RUU and had the same issue. Flashed 1.29 and still have the same issue...

Anybody else had this or have any ideas what could be causing it?

The phone runs absolutely fine if I don't lock the screen.... But that's not doing my battery any good!

wall
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Little more description of your problem would help.

As was asked, does the screen shut off, or does it completely shut down and then show you the charging screen?

Have you checked your logs to see what your phone has to say? (and if you haven't, don't ask "How do I do that?", there's a number of threads that have discussed it. Do a simple google/xda/google play search for dmesg)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chrism.brunner:
My phone does the same. When I plug in the charger ( USB cable plugged into wall unit) the screen shuts off, I hear a click inside the phone, and then the phone reboots over and over. If I plug it in with the power off, I see the battery, with the cursor for about 2 seconds, then repeated over and over.

On my phone the USB port was broken so I purchased a replacement " board", not just the connector, and put it in. Any thoughts. Thanks. Phone is fine otherwise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dogfax:
What I would do is first make a Nandroid backup (I'm assuming you know how to, since you have a custom ROM) and maybe a TiBu backup as well.

Then, try going into CWM and wiping data to factory reset, wiping the cache, and wiping Dalvik cache, then reflashing the latest version of the ROM you already have installed. See if that helps. It probably isn't an issue with your ROM but then again precautions are always good to narrow down the real problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chrism.brunner:
Good thought. Did try that and no better. Sending in for warranty. Pretty sure it is a hardware issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dogfax:
Yeah. Sounds like it would be a hardware problem. Not sure why I thought it might be something else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] izmahoby:
I had this problem. It is due to using an aftermarket battery without Near Field Communication. The batter I have seems to be authentic Samsung, but was made for the i9100, with doesn't have this NFC chip. These aftermarket batteries have to be charged in a separate charger. You will notice the NFC batteries are slightly thicker and have "Near Field Communication" under the Samsung logo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chrism.brunner:
That could be it. I already sent it in for repair, but I did purchase 3 genuine Samsung batteries for the i9100 to use in my i777. They work fine in my i9100. Good to know. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Therightnow:
Samsung knows about this

I know this is an old thread, but I just called Samsung for this problem on a non custom ROM, non-rooted, S2 and the agent didn't specifically say that it is a known problem but he told me he would set up free repair without even asking when I bought it or any other purchase verification. I work for a fairly large tech retailer and in my experience this usually means that it is a known issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chrism.brunner:
I did find it to be the batteries that i purchased. They were for the i-9100. The att version needs a device appropriate battery. They say nfc on them. I sent it in for repair and samsung said that they couldnt find anything wrong
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dzsulius:
What happened at the end ?! Cause I don't get it.

I have the same problem but my battery is original with the NFC logo on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chrism.brunner:

I flashed a custom kernel and it fixed the issue, but it happens all over when I odin to stock. Is this a HW problem with my phone, or just a bad battery?

Can we stop with all the speculation. Look what happened with the galaxy s3.

Wait for official word from Sony.

We had the same speculation about a dual core device last year and we ended up with the arc s.

Have you fellas not learnt anything.

Goodness.

I'll tell you now, besides the S and the Ion, we will not see any other flagship devices from Sony this year.

At the most, you might see a beefed up S but judging by sales figures, that's looking less likely by the day.

One flagship per year. That's the only strategy that makes any sense for all concerned. Consumers as well as for manufacturers.
