[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegodsmustbecray:
I need to restore my xoom to factory state. I work for a company who resells computers devices and other products and we have these xooms that are password locked. I tried entering android recovery during the motorolla splash screen but that doesn't work. All i get is the android robot with and exclamation point (!) in the middle then it restarts back to the same locked screen.

i downloaded stock 3.1 honey comb images i found at the top but the just show up as .img files on my computer. I have been able to flash other devices like dell streaks, lenovo tablets, etc. etc. but I can't figue out how to restore xooms for some reason. If I could get a step by step clear and consise explination that would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

With pin / password forgotten , recovery is your way, however, with non working recovery, u need to use adb to unlock boot loader, push another recovery thru which you factory reset it...

[Asus Transformer TF700] GCq1w2e3:
I'm juggling with this idea for a little down the road but when I sit back and think about it, I have a hard time thinking of the benefits other than just for fun. What would be beneficial to you if you're considering dual boot for the tf700. This question is directed at android/ubuntu or android/win8 (if possible) users.

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
The main benefit I see is the ability to run Linux applications that are designed for laptops/desktops. Things like full office suites, more robust browsers, photo editors etc. Would add a lot more functionality to the tablet, and also get you all the advantages that a windowed environment would provide for multitasking. You can do all that without dual boot through a chroot, but since you're sharing ram and cpu time with Android its a bit slow and tight.

Would also give you the option to try Win8 if we ever get a port, if it actually delivers on its promises (I highly doubt it) it could save some money initially over buying a tablet actually designed for the OS.
[Asus Transformer TF700] monkey10120:
I actually don't see a point in dual booting. There are not much other applications you would be able to run on Linux or win 8 other than stock apps. This is an ARM device which is not compatible with x86/x64 apps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
That really only applies to Win8. Since Linux and most of its software is open source, applications can generally be compiled to run on (or existing packages found for) any CPU type so long as its physically fast enough to handle it. The only catagroy I can see lacking on the Linux side would be heavily optimimized or 3D accelerated games, which there arent very many of in the first place.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
Is it theoretically possible for me to install gentoo on my tablet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
I thought some Windows 8 devices were to work on Tegra 3 devices? That could mean that over time, Windows 8 could get ported, right?

Not that I care, I -myself- prefer a touch-based OS for a touch-based device.

However, I still believe the are huge possibilities to improve browsing performances on Android.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lovekeiiy:
Actually, being able to dual boot is very nice if you're into flashing different roms (flashaholic). It lets you have a stable go to rom. Then you can have that experimental rom to try out that may not all things thing functional or so forth.

I use Boot Manager on my HTC Evo 4G, which lets you have multiple roms on your phone; it runs them off your SDHC card. I have a stable Sense rom on the phone. Then I have, usually two, other roms on the SDHC card, such as CM7 and CM9.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
Theoretically, it would be possible. They got Ubuntu on the Prime, so I dont see why other variants of Linux couldn't be made to work.

Not quite... Win8 is only for x86 CPUs. WinRT will be made to run on Tegra 3 and has a chance of getting ported, but it wont run any Win8 desktop software, and is completely locked down iOS style so if you wanted to add any additional software without going through an app store (or period for the Desktop) you'll have to root/jailbreak.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
This right here is the only reason I would ever dual boot. I love having a unstable cool new JB ROM but hate losing my daily driver ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wolfman87:
I'd love to dual boot (or emulate). Using Ubuntu/Win8 would massively enhance my productivity.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] yourbrotherrex:
Two days ago, I ordered a couple of these: http://goo.gl/9PSGA, and even paid an extra 25 bucks for overnight shipping because I have this certain instant gratification issue I can't seem to shake...

Anyway, I got a tracking number but noticed it was only being shipped First Class ground, which meant a 2-5 day arrival. Obviously, they made a mistake, and I was a little upset about waiting after paying more for shipping than the cost of the actual product.

So, I went ahead and emailed them this morning at 10 a.m. about the issue.

Thirty minutes later, my phone rang with an area code I wasn't familiar with.

It was a dude named "Michael" calling from Flygrip.

He began by telling me that their shipping department had, in fact, dropped the ball, and apologized up front for that.

But, he also told me that he had just personally just driven over a replacement of my entire order over to FedEx to make sure I get them first thing tomorrow morning (FedEx wasn't the original shipper; it was USPS, and those are still coming).

I was pretty blown away by the quick, personal response, but not nearly as blown away as I was a little later, after I happened to re-watch one of their other videos.

That "dude" Michael?

Yeah, he was only the owner AND founder of the company, and had taken time out of his day to personally take care of my little issue.

I was doubly impressed again, to say the least.

Now, I'm just really looking forward to getting these and trying them out, (I got one for my SGSIII, and one for my Evo4gLTE.), and also wanted to ask:

Does anyone else use the "Flygrip"?

If so, how do you like it?

Or, does anyone else have a similar awesome customer service story concerning your Android devices?

edit: Just noticed QBKING77 already made a review video of these things :

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Aftashok:
whoa. that's awesome though. important to see a business that dedicated to satisfying customers. made me even more likeable to buying myself one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] itzike:
im just getting into car sales and this is one of the most important ways to make the customer feel appreciated and will give them the desire to purchase from the company again. its a win win for the business because 1. you're satisfying the customer and 2. you're building your reputation. What you did with this thread was just show how good of a company they are and subconsciously referred us to buy from them. I know I will purchase from them. Excellent customer service goes a long way.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] blackguy101:
So today Ill be reviewing the Wheng Hook hard case (this is my very first review of anything so im sorry if it is a bit unprofessionally done.

So today I have finally received the Wheng Hook case from a seller on ebay and so far I have to say that it seems like a quality case. The packaging is some what mediocre yet nice at the same time. The seller adds a personal touch to the the packaging by adding a little sticky note saying thanks for purchasing the case (Its a little weird yet nice at the same time) The case consist of an outer bumper and a back plate that is to be positioned inside the case before putting in the phone itself. Something that sets this case aside from many is the fact that it is made for you to hold cards inside the case. This is a good addition for those who commute a lot and has things such as a smart trip card (a prepaid card for metro services for the train or buses). Instead of looking through your purse or wallet you can just place your phone on the pad as payment as you would the physical card. (Basically the metro bus and metro train station where I live does not support nfc so this addition in the case is amazing)

The phone fits very snug inside the case and it just simply feels very secure once placed inside. There are cut outs made for the volume rocker and power button so they are very easy to access. The cut outs for the camera,flash and speaker are also nice and fit leaving no gaps between them and the case itself. It also has a nice dip to it so there would be more difficulty for things smudging the camera. I have also noticed that there is just a small bit of weight added to the phone but this is great for those who things it is a bit too light.

The hook that is connecting the ends of the the bumper also seems very secure. It does not appear as if it will come apart so easily due to the fact it seems a bit awkward to take it out so it should resist falls just fine. The only real complaint I have about this case is the fact that the back plating seems to be a fingerprint magnet. Overall It was only $20 and I find it that you actually get MORE then what you pay for. It is an extremely solid case and I would highly recommend a purchase for those who are interested in it.

Link to the color I have purchased http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SAMSUNG...139051?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cc8b1e36b

EDIT: I should also note that the picture of the bumper in the ebay link is WAAAAYY lighter then how it really appears in real life. The bumper is far darker.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] blackguy101:
Oh sorry here are just a few more pictures of the case that I forgot to add. As you can see its extremely thin,

[Galaxy S III Accessories] v3rn:
Got this case today, it's extremely nice. If you're looking for a hard thin case, this is what to get. It's a million times better than those thing cases that just snap on and don't protect the top and bottom. This case feels extremely nice on the phone and the quality is great. Highly recommended.

Only complaint is I got the black/gray version and the black plate scratches and shows fingerprints too easily. I wish I had gone with the white glossy plate instead.

Hi what is best? i took windows wallpapers they are JPG should i convert to PNG (bigger file size) is it better or just the best jpg?

Or What is best for wallpapers JPG or PNG and dont tell me to Google it cause i could not find the answear
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajoslaf:
PNG is better, JPG is way more compressed than PNG. Even better than PNG is BMP btw. Just try to draw something in MS paint, save it as JPG then as PNG and compare ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dal8moc:
It depends. ;)

Regarding quality png is best since it uses a lossless compression. But since you are asking what format is best for a wallpaper I would go with jpg. File size should be far smaller with jpg. Unless it's a drawing or the like with not many colors and hard edges then png would probably be better again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazeeh4:
PNG is better because its faster and not compressed
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scjoao:
PNG because supports transparency

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prismfire:
why would you convert jpg to png? if the quality of jpg is already low, converting to png serves no purpose, right?

generally it's good to keep photos in png format. but if it is just pictures which originally comes from jpg, just stick with it since its size are mostly smaller.

dont even think of converting lower quality jpg to higher jpg as well.

Hello,

I've done some searching and have seen some with the same issue. When I go to update it says:

"Failed to update firmware due to network or server problem. Try update update.. or try using kies."

Message started out of the blue a couple weeks ago.

Kies says I'm up to date. Tried through Mac and PC

Went to recovery and cleared cache and tried again. Saw that advised on another forum. Tried on 3G and different wifi networks. Possibly Samsung server error, but strange it lasted for weeks?

Baseband is I9300BULF1. Not rooted or anything.

This is my first Android. Mainly trying to isolate if an update is available or not and if there is a problem how to resolve.

Latest firmware to flash is LG9 firmware.

It doesn't matter where you are, you can still flash it.

Go to samfirmware.com and you'll find the latest and you can flash it via Odin, way easier than that ota nonsense.

Going to give this a go tonight.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Lg8 is the same but European version I think so depending where you are it may be advisable to flash that, I'm fairly certain lg9 is the Asian version of lg8 so may not have your csc if you aren't Asian?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Yes, good point.

All custom roms are based on lg9 but then again they are all multi csc.

At the end of the day the csc doesn't really matter, its only related to carrier/location based bloat and crapware.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
It won't do any damage to your phone if it is the intl version, it just may not be optimized for your particular network (HD voice, fast dormancy) and on the other hand it may be just fine.

tbh there is no official firmware for the intl s3 on American networks.

In fact there is a thread here for setting up the intl version on at&t by ceo.mtcl, look it up.

It won't do any harm to your phone tho, I'm in Ireland running a custom rom and its lg9.
