I wish I could sign up for the soak test. I'm still running stock, unrooted honeycomb and would love the be a guinea pig.
[Xoom General] 3devious:
I'm sorry about that. I shoulda given the pertinent info to someone like you, given Moto your MEID so that you could test it. The satisfaction of telling them to piss off was fleeting at best. Since I already kicked their butts through the proper channels, I should have at least let someone in this community get in. I just assumed they invited everyone who hadn't sued them yet. ;-)

If they ever decide to violate the restraining order (just kidding) and invite me again, I'll try to get someone in instead of me.
[Xoom General] ocdtrekkie:
I'm pretty excited. I'm a stock user, so I've been waiting a long time. And my tablet's no longer got a data plan either, so being stuck with Verizon while the Wi-Fi owners got ICS was pretty painful.

Oh, I gotta hear this! ... So, the procedure of a single entity "kicking the butt" of several multibillion-dollar companies entails what, exactly?!

[Xoom General] 3devious:
I can't say, exactly. Just know your rights as a consumer overall and in your state. There are proper channels and forms you can fill out and you usually get a response and some sort of resolution if you are somewhat creative or atleast patient. After the end of a conversation with Motorola Mobility's counsel, I can sheepishly admit that we've come to terms. I didn't get the meeting in Barcelona that I suggested (an inside joke for anyone who's seen an internal memo) but at least I'm back at zero which sadly counts as a victory (to me) against these guys.

I only had to have a couple of conversations with VZW's customer service to get them to be reasonable about the LTE business. I didn't bother with Google because I reached a fair solution with the other two offending parties. I'm not exactly sure what they could have for me anyway other than buy my Xoom back at a prorated price and get me out of my contract.

My penalty for jumping on new sexy hardware that was kind of a lopsided deal was having to research the process for filing small claims cases, consumer protection agencies, filing out forms and patiently explaining the actual issue and outlining what remedies you're hoping for to stranger after stranger. It helps if you're not trying to get a bunch of free stuff. Will I buy anything from VZW or Motorola again? Maybe, because they eventually came through for me but I hate paperwork so it's going to have be perfect out of the box or cheap.

[Xoom General] kcrudup:
... and "reasonable" being what, exactly?! We did eventually get LTE, and if you felt that meant you were entitled to get your money back over the delay, that's your right, but I build tablets and handsets for a living so have more insight than a typical consumer about what challenges and tradeoffs and such that brings, but damn people- sometimes **** just happens and it's not some dark plot by the manufacturer(s) to screw their customers, it's just bad luck and unforseen problems that don't have an immediate answer. Every device I have in-depth knowledge of has had many tradeoffs and compromises done from the original idea; sometimes it's to get it out on time, sometimes it's for price-point, sometimes for reliability. It happens.

I only hope you still have your Xoom- with Custom ROMs on it it's just that good, and I literally use mine daily- I wouldn't trade this tablet for any device that's not Quad-Core and carrier-enabled. I guess I'm just a little surprised that 8 months after we've got LTE available some folks are still mad at MotoGoogle and/or VZW over "lies".
[Xoom General] 3devious:
(Yeah, all that happened about 9 months ago in Moto's case, almost a year ago in Verizon's case. I wouldn't have put that much effort if there were actually signs of LTE coming.) I just told VZW that I did not see the value in paying $20 per month for 1 gig of 3g. They eventually agreed to let me disable the service until LTE truly was available. Since they were willing to work with me on it, I didn't nitpick over the fact that they made the change in billing while my Xoom was still in transit from Motorola. What is less than a couple of dollars in the end? The lying was annoying but I did keep the Xoom, I just make sure to get everything I can out of it! (After comparing it to some of the office's overpriced Windows 7 tablets, I'm a little more forgiving of the Xoom.)

You do handsets and tablets? Any custom stuff?
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
OK. But FWIW, that was actually one of the best plans they had at the Xoom's intro (it's the one I have now, but I moved the SIM card to another handset; you can't get that plan any longer and I didn't want to give it up). VZ's CDMA data wasn't all that bad, IMO- faster in most cases than the CDMA data stick I'd had with Sprint at the time (although Sprint had the benefit of being unlimited).

What's your basis for saying they were lying?

My "day job"s are large commercial manufacturers, but I do contribute to the kernels for the Team EOS ROMs.
[Xoom General] 3devious:
I thought 1 meg a second burst but about a tenth of that average wasn't that useful but maybe I'm just want-y.

The fact that they hadn't even submitted the LTE radio to the FCC until July infuriated me. That is when I felt the need to get some sort of resolution or just get rid of the Xoom. I was so mad at the time, I didn't care which conclusion played out.

Well both are a lot more interesting than what I've got going on. During the day, do you do software or hardware? Is that why you're sympathetic to stuff just happening? Most of my horribly mundane day job involves the software side and I have seen some things go terribly and sometimes surprisingly wrong. I am just used to an environment where the repercussions were more than bad press and the potential of (oh noes) a class action suit. In my world having integration problems like that is usually the end of you. (The sucky part is that I am in the position to get ended, not do the ending! Atleast it's not someplace like Wadiya where the end is literal.)
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
But this falls squarely into what I was saying about "**** happens". Now, I'm piecing this all together from bits and pieces (kernel logs, side-comments from vendors, my experience with the Carriers via the "Day Job", and being at this for so long), but I'm almost 100% convinced that what had happened was the orginial Mini-PCI radio they'd speced either didn't pass VZ approval (and they're really stringent about what goes on their network, both in the quality of the SW and the HW) or didn't pass FCC approval, or they couldn't get sufficient quality, quantity or pricing. So, apparently Moto had to punt and build their own LTE module, probably from scratch (some of the chips on the module are Moto's own; I'd figured they'd use one from Qualcomm or Sierra Wireless or someone else) and this made them late- and it wasn't 'tlll the revamped radio was ready that they could go to the FCC (which IIRC, runs some $200K) and apply for certification. There was support code in the kernel for the LTE radio as early as April(?), IIRC, and when the shipped radio came out, that kernel code had changed somewhat, for instance.

I'm primarily a "BSP" Developer (kernels, device drivers, bootloaders) but have done some work in the Android internals, as well.

Yeah, having spent the last few years in the handset/tablet business (and some 20+ years before that in the SW industry) I just understand the kinds of tradeoffs that occur. No Engineer wants to put out an inferior product, but sometimes the realities of manufacturing, or pricing, or even management edict mean we have to compromise and/or trade off to get a product shipped out-the-door.

I think people were more butt-hurt because Moto wasn't saying much, but even that could have been due to NDA requirements. What I thought was funny (and had several oft-heated discussions about here on XDA before I realized I was dealing with brainless, hater trolls) was all the stupid rumors going around here that were taken as "fact"; my favorite was "The Tegra2 is incompatible with LTE".
[Xoom General] strifejester:
So far stock 3.2.6 has been fine for me. I am looking forward to ICS but I keep my XOOM stock so that I can use Google Play Movies. My touchpad runs ICS and CM9 but really there is nothing in ICS that I need on the XOOM. If the performance gets better that is great but as mentioned I cannot think of 1 single feature of ICS that I must have on my tablet. Folders is the nicest feature that was added that I can think of. Rooting lately has lost a lot of appeal for me ever since GB really. Not a whole lot of features are added like the OG days anymore. I think this is a good sign that Android is maturing. The biggest feature games and things need to adopt though is cloud storage similar to steam so that if I do start flashing ROMs and nightlies again I can get the data back without having to screw with titanium backup all the time, mostly because I always forget something or forget in general. The new backup feature for non-rooted devices is a huge step now that Android has it built in.
[Xoom General] 3devious:
Yeah, I hear ya but even in May both companies were saying "Spring." The folks in VZW's customer retention were trying to make me feel like an ass because "spring runs a few weeks into June" and I was asking for some help in May (never mind that I'd had it for 2 months already.) The sucky thing is that I still would have bought a Xoom if I knew that I wouldn't get LTE until almost November, just not until right before they got rid of the $20 for 1gb plan.

That might be I have to admit that by the end of August I didn't think I'd see LTE on it. I didn't really care why. I usually don't care why. My issue is more along the lines of "are you really gonna do it or not?" When it's going to happen is only marginally important to me. Most of my favorite bull**** comments about why things don't work out for these devices come from the CEOs themselves. Like ol' Sanjay used to say that their droids don't run slow, it was Verizon, the chipmaker, Google or even some guy who just walked into the room.
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
It IS. It's like night and day- even stock- no question.
[Xoom General] sbrownla:
Agreed. I had Team EOS on here, and if it wasn't for the constant update reminders from Goo, and the way it broke my Google Play Movies access, I'd still be running it. Returning to stock Honeycomb has been a nightmaaaaare!!!
[HTC One S] DownloaderZ:
I'm having an interesting issue.

When looking at really dark images I can see sploches and streaks in the screen which don't move if I pan around the image.

Taking a screen shot didn't capture anything. You can tell it's a hardware issue because when start to slide in the next photo the sploches stay there as the images move. Might go get another handset if this isn't happening to anyone else.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
Would one be able to delete everything on the internal storage where nothing is left on it? As in no radio,fastboot,etc

I remember reading about someone who completely wiped his phone to the point where almost basically nothing was on it anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
why....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckydude:
you can factory reset you phone

every thing must erase
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You can erase most partitions with fastboot (system, userdata, boot, recovery, cache). Although I'm not sure about the radio. And not the bootloader.

A factory reset just erases the userdata partition, nothing more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
Well, if you literally want to delete EVERYTHING, then open CMD/Terminal and type following commands (Make sure you have fastboot, tough...)

First: fastboot erase ystem
second: fastboot erase boot
third: fastboot erase recovery
fourth: fastboot erase userdata

You CANNOT erase/format/delete the bootloader and/or radio, to do this, you need JTAG...

Well, hope I could help!

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

He's right...

Facory reset only erases follwoing partitions:

/data
/mnt/sdcard/Android
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You need to be careful when you make absolute statements like that. What you posted is not correct.

The GNex is still a Samsung device, in other words, there is no NAND lock. If you have root you can erase/flash any of the GNex's 13 partitions (sbl, xloader, boot, recovery, system, userdata, cache, radio, param, misc, efs, metadata, dgs), just not with fastboot. No need for JTAG.

But if you erase some of them and don't re-flash them before rebooting, you could end up with a brick (and I mean brick).

/sdcard is just a symlink to /data/media, so saying it will wipe /data means it will wipe /data/media as well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] AngelosDracul:
Just picked up a vzw RAZR. My fourth android phone. This one does not have service and i am using it purely to learn. Calls and text mean nothing. Using this purely as a remote for my computer, and i might use this as a phone later if my girl and i decide to go back to vzw as Sprint is horrible.

My question is this.... does it matter if i flash GSM or CDMA roms if i am not worried about service? And if i can, can i return it to factory stock if i decide to play around. From my experience on past phones, i would assume the latter is fully plausible.... if the difference between romtypes doea not matter.

For reference: this phone is XT912 (non maxx) no sim, no contract.

Thanks guys!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lovemyram4x4:
It has to be CDMA ROM. It depends on what you flash it with on being able to go back to stock, most it's yes, but some like many of the ICS leaks at least at this time is no. I don't if there's any work arounds but if you do a FDR on at least the stock ROMs you can do anything with the Razr until you put a SIM card in.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ve6ay:
If your DPI is set to 120 or 160, you're good to go - those are standard DPI's and allow you access to the various apps that check your DPI settings.

However, other apps aren't available because the dev didn't specify that it would work on the HP Touchpad (codename tenderloin). This is something that is mentioned many times throughout the forums, and a quick search will give you some answers on that one.

[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Ok. Overclocking has never really affected my phone noticeably in terms of heat.

The sensation has an inbuilt fuse ( it doesn't really it is just to explain it ) so when the temperature gets too high and dangerous enough to damage the phone or cause serious damage to the user the phone will power off automatically.

If you want to reduce the temperature of the phone try:

-turning down the brightness

-turning of auto sync

-using leedroid tweaks or it may be part of other tweaks by now as well to turn off the lights of the four UI buttons.

By doing these my temperature remmains very low :D
