So you put

your

SIM in

his

phone and it worked just fine? Okay so that means its your phones hardware.

Depends on the damage. It might be easy as bending some prongs, might be as much work as replacing the SIM tray. Unless it dropped at a really weird angle though, I doubt the SIM tray got damaged... the reason I recommend it is its the easiest thing to check without disassembling the phone. Everything else inside is much much harder to diagnose.

Like I've said over and over, if you've done a factory reset (and are on stock firmware) / reboots and the problem persists, its not a firmware/software issue. Also, if your SIM works fine, then likely you severely damaged something

inside

the device when you dropped it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
OK thanks in advance... I'll make sure to check that out as soon as I can. One last question... Do you know any place near Niagara Falls (Canada) that does phone repairs? I know this is a weird question, but just in case you know somewhere and just in case I need a backup plan...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I have no idea...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Dammit.... I heard that fixing hardware related stuff is very expensive... Hopefully it's only some part of the phone that you can replace that is damaged, not something that I need to replace motherboard for... Thank you so much for your efforts... I guess if it's not sim tray problem, I am officially screwed and probably have to put down over 100bucks...

The Motorola Xoom. Of all android tablets, it was the experiment; the first ever of its kind. Winner of Best Of Show at CES 2011. Pioneer of Android Honeycomb. I bought this spectacle of computing technology the day it came out in the US, on March 27th, 2011. While I was watching loads of coverage from CES, and even afterwards, I anticipated what the Xoom would be like. Proponents of it were saying it would be great, that it would be able to keep up with the iPad. Critics of the Xoom, and android alike, were saying it was inferior, and would not get many sales. When I finally got my hands on one, (the last one in stock for a few days at my local Staples), I was blown away. Of course, there were few apps for it at first, but I am a patient person and knew more apps would come for it in the future. For months, I used it daily, along side my laptop. I tethered it to my Droid 2 (also Motorola :D), which I had a grandfathered unlimited data plan. I took it with me as much as I could, and used it at school daily. I look back on that time and chuckle at myself; I stayed on the stock ROM, since I was afraid to flash/unlock bootloader/etc. Once I got enough courage to do it, I realized that my Motorola Xoom could do so much more. More months went by, and more tablets came out. The Galaxy Tab. Asus Transformer. HTC Flyer. Motorola Droid Xyboard. I realized how much more technology was seemed (and advertised) to have been put in these; however, I looked at my Xoom, and saw that it was keeping up. Even the processors of new tablets were increasingly better, but the Xoom (and it's workhorse Tegra 2) was staying in the game. My stock rooted honeycomb was still a daily driver, months and months after it came out. Even with the introduction of quad core android tablets, like the Transformer Prime, Xoom was staying around. And then i experienced TeamEOS. It was the first ROM i flashed for my xoom. TeamEOS's ICS rom. Faster than ever before, I was overjoyed that my Xoom had new life. Fast forward to now, with the introduction of Jellybean. The Xoom is still one of the very first devices to receive the OTA. This shows that the Xoom will still be at the front of Android tablet technology for a very long time.

tl;dr: The Motorola Xoom, which I bought on day 1, is still one of THE best Android tablets in the world. Mine runs TeamEOS 3.0 Nightlies, and will for a very long time.
[Xoom General] eyriiii:
I love my Xoom and TeamEOS :good::laugh:

Thanks for all the work guys!

PS. I flashed TeamEOS the first day I received my Xoom.
[Xoom General] alex94kumar:
realistically though, I give the Xoom a year to a year and a half before it starts becoming obsolete
[Xoom General] Bux1982:
all I can say is, I love my xoom.

But I´m a little dissapointed with moto´s customer/update service.

I know you guys in the US got the official ICS update long ago.

I´m from germany and we have the mz601 aka the Euro 3g/umts version with mobile data.

The only official update we got was from 3.1 to 3.2.HC.

We would be totaly screwed if there was no Team EOS.

EOS releasing the latest JellyBean Nightlys for the euro model gives me 4.1 before official moto even rolled out ICS over here.

Considering the xoom got hyped and is still considered as a Google Experience Device this kinda sucks.

Anyway, since Team EOS is around, I´m a happy xoom owner and I see the hardware nowhere near its limits, leaving plenty of room

for performance upgrades with upcoming android releases or dev tweaks.
[Xoom General] jagdomar:
A very good review - I fell in love with the Xoom based upon the CES show and knew I needed one - and one I bought.

I bght the WiFi only one, the plucked up the courage to root and there has been no looking back. I recently bought a second hand 3G Xoom and gave my WiFi one to my younger brother and we are an unstoppable force.

This device really exceeded my expectations and truly has kept up - I do however wish that Motorola had provided these updates - who nows they could offer the developers on here programmer and developer jobs - then we would see fast worldwide updates.
[Xoom General] bbygfy:
I agree. I use my Xoom everyday and I love it. I didn't think I needed a tablet until I got my Xoom. I am also running Team EOS and love it.
[Xoom General] tumpy:
Excellent post from OP, my wife say she has to compete with the Xoom for my attention..
[Xoom General] okantomi:
My family says the same thing...
[Xoom General] Jimmiray007:
Probably the most disregarded and underrated tablet out there. Love ICS on it waiting for a stock jellybean before I root it.
[Xoom General] ghodzilla5150:
I bought my WiFi Xoom the day they went on sale & use it everyday. I have not rooted mine yet as stock ICS (soon to be stock JB) work fine for me. The Xoom has a fantastic build & having a GED unit can't be beat. I have no need for any other Android Tablets. The next Tablet for me will be the Surface Pro.
[Xoom General] penorwood:
I concur! I've never figured out why it has been panned by so many critics though! I never thought I'd use it for more than e-books originally but the VERY first time I saw it at Costco (and just happened to have my tax refund in my pocket) I instantly got it (3G/WiFi). I use it everyday, more than I thought I ever would. I'm a web designer and I actually find that showing my designs to clients works very well and I hardly ever bring my Mac Book Pro to meetings.

I think I'll be using my Xoom for a long time still. A couple of times I thought about getting something newer but every time I find my Xoom matches or beats the alternatives.

(And yes I do read a lot of e-books on it!)
[Xoom General] 3devious:
Part of my initial beef with the launch of and the way this device was being handled was that I saw the potential for this device and jumped on it immediately. The lack of LTE until 6 months after launch made me want to punch the responsible party in the throat. I was fairly disappointed about the way USB and SD cards are being handled but am pretty confident in the community's ability to improve that. I think it sucks that their efforts are being wasted on what should be core functionality instead of cutting edge things this device was meant for.

I have run this device hard and hung it up wet. I believe that I have gotten my money's worth. I use this thing everyday. It isn't quite the geospatial data collection tool I had envisioned it being but I blame most of that on my hatred of the cloud and failings as a developer who can't really do much from scratch. Once ESRI fleshed out its Android API, I'll be able to adjust my vectors via my tablet.
[Xoom General] DsturbD:
after having mine for 12 days now the only thing i don't like about it is the location of the speakers

and that's it, everything about it is just simply great, i could not have gotten a better tablet
[Xoom General] alex94kumar:
I think the speakers on the Xoom are better than most speakers of tablets/phones
[Xoom General] okantomi:
I think you are right!
[Xoom General] alex94kumar:
I was actually surprised how good the speakers on the xoom sounded. like, really surprised
[Xoom General] ilikegames:
yeah, xoom has 2 speakers... its great for movies, especially since i always lose my earphones...
[Xoom General] R1150GSA:
I've got a confession to make. I just got my new 16 GB Nexus 7 today. As always, these things are fun to unbox and play with, but I can already tell it's not as nice as my Xoom. Perhaps things will change over time but, if pressed, I'd keep the Xoom over the Nexus.
[Xoom General] alex94kumar:
How is the speed on the N7, compared to the Xoom? Like, overall UI and game performance
[Xoom General] n7slc:
I bought two of the 32gb WiFi versions last Christmas. I use my Xoom daily and I love it. Probably the greatest thing among many excellent points about the device is battery life. It may be chunkier than most tabs but it's got one of the largest batteries of any tablet.

Being a GED, it's still a solid choice for those in the market for a tablet. Refurbs can be had cheap making them a real bargain.
[Xoom General] Eun-Hjzjined:
+1

I works nights, most of the time from just before dark to 7am. Running music over Bluetooth and typically get home with 70-80% remaining. My note gives in after 8 hours without fail, and my Xoom can get ~60 hours just playing a bt media stream.

[Xoom General] Fadox:
Well, unfortunately my xoom only lasts about 6hr with screen on.. Everyone talks about the good battery life on xoom. Since i got mine 6.30hours was the best i could get.

Dont know what i can do to improve it.

No gps,no data, only wifi and screen on, and the screen wastes about 85% off total battery . Any hint for this??

Edit: Otherwise it is a fantastic tablet, super well built, everything works as it should. I already had the first transformer, the screen was better than xoom however its built problems were too much for my likes...

Hoping to solve the battery life time.
[Xoom General] eyriiii:
try to calibrate the battery with the app "battery calibration" from market
[Xoom General] Fadox:
Well guess i'll have a record on this. Already did a battery calibration trough CWM, nothing happened. Now i have my brightness set at 20%, is this battery time compared to what you guys have??
[Xoom General] johnzelix:
I agree. before I got my xoom i can't think of any use for a tablet as a student. But now I can't leave home without my xoom.
[Xoom General] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Lmao, you have over 5hr screen on time @ almost 14 hours and still have 46% battery left? Most devices would kill for that. That's pretty awesome imo. The screen is huge and will always be the largest power draw. Leave the screen off for 6 hours on boot and take a look. Its really hard, just do it before bed and check in morning.
[Xoom General] Fadox:
7:30hr with screen on

About 1d9h overall, lots of wifi, tapatalk, youtube,music. Screen brightness at 20%.

Well, what do you guys think compared to yours?? I guess that it is the first time that i am happy with xoom's battery life :)

Atm 12% left.

As students, what uses do you give to your xoom?
[Xoom General] wiesman2613:
I use my xoom all the time in class...

Ever note, quick office hd, with a bluetooth keyboard.. And all the fun stuff if I'm bored in the class ;p
[Xoom General] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
I need to write my notes. But I do use splashtop to RDP to my home desktop to do eclipse and some school sites don't work with browsers on Xoom but do with desktop and of course Google docs (Drive). The Moto BT keyboard that has connection issues with the BT Microsoft mouse forced my to modify my stand to take a wireless mouse receiver. This past couple weeks with Jelly Bean though the pairing seems to be a lot better with less keyboard drops when the mouse is connected.

If there was a math writing program like latex or similar I suppose I could type my notes. I guess I could from my desktop like I do everything else but writing notes is better for my retention.
[Xoom General] DaPoets:
I use my Xoom for both work and pleasure, while these days it's mainly reading financial news and using communication programs, my Xoom is more powerful and faster than when I 1st got it way back in week 1 of sales. (verizon 4g) I think I will keep my data plan as I like the convince of always on data w/ out having to tether all the time and drain my Gnex. My Xoom became really nice w/ ICS but now w/ JB it's like a brand new toy that I can't put down. Can't really find a reason to use another tablet.
[Xoom General] tjrocks91:
Hey guys I just bought a Verizon 4g lte Xoom off of eBay for around $200. Can't wait to get it in the mail and flash teameos's jelly bean builds! This is my second tablet I'm coming from a kindle fire, I've heard a lot of good things about the Xoom'
[Xoom General] DrGreem:
Tears of happiness dropped after i read the 1st post.... Im so touched...

I <3 My Xoom TEAM EOS (<3 <3) OverPowered! :crying::crying::crying:
[Xoom General] alex94kumar:
I am flattered by your (presumably :fingers-crossed:) emotional reaction :o
[Xoom General] aldope727:
Love my Xoom, the best tablet so far...

I use my Xoom everyday for work, sometimes just for fun. I am also running Team EOS with backtrack 5 and it is absolutely great. :D
[Xoom General] alex94kumar:
I use my xoom at school (going to buy a bluetooth keyboard soon), and pretty much every day :D
[Xoom General] marcio_roberto:
I love mu xoom, and use with the official 4.1 .

But in this update I notice that performance in YouTube drop too much. After some time on the YouTube becomes a little more stable, but ics has more speed and fluid system.

any one perceived this also ?
[Xoom General] pjcons:
I wish ppl would f'ing stop bagging on about updates and Motorola.

A) the Xoom rocks

B) the Xoom is one of a very few GED devices

C) unlocked bl means u don't have to wait for updates - but if u had wi fi xoom u would have had JB already!

Sent from my Razr machine
[Xoom General] alex94kumar:
or if you dont care about losing 3g/4g, then you can just flash the wingray JB on your stingray device. i think
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kamishki:
Honeybar description says that the app is unsupported in ICS.

Having never used ICS...is it needed or is there a built in way to hide the bar.

Does honeybar indeed, not work?

Is there a functining alternative?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] pawdog:
I have found GMD Gesture Control to be a better solution and it works great with ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kamishki:
Great.....just what i needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mk23169:
Well kind of... The screen is shattered but it works perfectly otherwise. I still payed the $100 deductible and am awaiting my refurb replacement :(. At least its rooted with CWM so i can restore easily!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lrs421:
The Nexus is Chuck Norris approved!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wind784:
The horror!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moeahmad1995:
Lol not gonna lie that looks awesome. I wouldn't mind having it like that but it would get annoying pretty fast I'm guessing? Switch with me for a month :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mk23169:
Haha I would totally do that :). It does have some character.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chancy319:
Wow. Of all the ways for a phone to get damages. How did your phone ens up in such a position?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moeahmad1995:
I'm not even joking if I knew u, I would do it lol. It would be cool to show off for a month
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andr3wchong:
no damages to the back side of the phone ? only the screen ? wow
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
shoulda posted a pic with the screen on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgyberg:
I think you missed a couple spots. Better run over it again! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsnstuff:
I too would love to know the story of how something like this happens! LOL

Should make a video showing off all angles and how it still works :)

Wonder if a screen protector would have helped.

If anyone is asking if the iPhone fits anywhere into this conversation, here it is:

this is nothing. I have seen on the news, iPhone have survived drops from airplane during parachute jump. Also the iPhone helped saved people in every big natural disaster since its inception.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MakoVince:
Nobody even mentioned the iPhone in this thread. Nobody cares. You see it on the news cause apple whores itself out to the media.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brad2taylor:
It must be a bad week for phones.. I traded my Evo 3D in for the GNex on Tuesday.. Dropped it a few hours ago and now I have hairline cracks everywhere.. I'm so mad! I guess I under-appreciated gorilla glass because my 3D made it through some rough times.. This screen didn't even survive a 3 foot fall!

Not downing this awesome phone.. I'll never buy anything but Nexus again.. but ****!

I guess I'm looking at a $100 deductible? And it will be a refurb? Any other options?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brad2taylor:
This is on sprint by the way with TEP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] exzacklyright:
I wonder too

Maybe it landed in a bouncy castle?

Are these all the GSM Nexus' that have been getting destroyed on drops? I've dropped my nexus twice from waist height onto concrete and thankfully it just had a tiny dent in the plastic on bottom corner.

Not sure if you were being sarcastic or not, but there is always this video = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elKxgsrJFhw

Is there a way to replace this? Cause display underneath is perfect..

Help! I'm in the same situation with my GNex

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Perf_white_gt:
You have to replace digitizer and screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Can't you just replace the digitizer?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xc8118:
Can't believe that still works... nexus FTW!

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tjotte:
Nope.. they are glued together to keep dust from getting in between digitizer and screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jfcooley:
Put case on mine after reading this and dropping mine 3 times in one day. Keep my device in my left pocket with nothing else, didn't realize a hole had happened just big enough for the device to fit through. Dropped out on concrete, blacktop, and metal. Not a scratch. Phantomskinz helped the screen survive without scratches.

Hate cases but don't want to push my luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hinouchi:
Hey cool! what app did you use to get that kind of screen effect? :P hahaha jkjk OUCHIE~ I'll cry if my Gnex have to go through something like that :crying:

Can you buy the replacement on eBay or amazon? How much it cost?

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MДЯCЦSДИT:
You know... Samsung makes their screens...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gilbot:
Nope. You can kinda tell it hit on the bottom right at an angle and it would have probably cracked regardless. I wouldn't use one anyways I like the feel of glass over those protectors any day.

Lol i guess. His does look pretty hardcore.

[Galaxy S II General] Redsandro:
Got a new SGS2 a week ago. Came with stock Samsung Android 4.0.3.

The WiFi connection keeps dropping when not actively used, which is unwanted because I can no longer receive SIP calls (or Skype/Viber/WhatsApp/Gtalk/... for that matter) at that point.

Please note that this is not the "Wifi During Sleep option won't stick" problem half of the similar threads are about, nor is it the "Cannot connect with Wifi" problem that most others are about like these:

Wifi problems with latest rom ICS, an idea!!

SGS1/SGS2 Wifi connects but no Internet data transfer

Galaxy S II Wifi Problem (Need to Restart It to properly work)

Experiencing Wifi Drops / problems? Try this solution....

.. plus a lot older similar threads.

I do not have those problems. The setting sticks perfectly, and my phone connects to WiFi perfectly.

This problem is that WiFi drops the connection (is suddenly totally disaboled) everytime nothing is happening (e.g. screen is off), even though it is set to stay connected.

I have tried this at 3 different networks, so it's probably not because of the WiFi router.

According to hwaddress.com I have a Samsung Electro Mechanics WiFi chip so there's no correlation with suspected trouble chips like the Murata Manufacturing.

I have tried the open source https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wahtod.wififixer]Wifi Fixer which claims to be able to keep the connection going, but it can't keep the connection alive either so it effectively just reconnects when the screen is activated, in stead of reconnecting manually.

I don't know if these readings are relevant, but interestingly, Wifi Fixer always claims that the "connection is bad" and shows a signal quality of -200 (I assume 0 is best quality). The indicator in the task bar shows no 'bars' at this point either, although at the same time the 'networks' tab from Wifi Fixer shows that this network has best quality. And the connection is perfect at this moment and I can stream video just fine. Some time later, the connection does show a valid quality, and bars in the taskbar.

Some pics to illustrate:

Any hints on how to tackle this issue?
