[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koragus:
I also had both and, don't get me wrong, I love my Xoom...

But, hands down, Nexus 7.

Reasons include, but are not limited too:

1 - Same charger for Nexus as most Android and even Windows phones (big plus/Xoom uses different charger...not bad, just an additional charger to carry.)

2 - NFC. There may be ways around this, but when you have it and actually use it, that makes it hard to without...

3 - weight. Xoom is heavy even by tablet standards. Again, not bad, but when you have to carry it everyday everywhere (with charger) it can become cumbersome. disadvantageous when portability is paramount.

4 - Quad core. How many Xoom owners run into the slowing and sometimes compete stops of the OS. Light use is usually not to bad, however...but pile on the multitasking and the Xoom will take a much needed break. Have yet to recreate this phenomenon on my 16gb nexus 7

But, I'm told the Nexus doesn't support MHL...the alternative to HDMI. If that is important to you, go Xoom. That was one feature I missed sorely with my Nexus.

For storage, OTG cables can solve the expansion problem.

The Xoom has a rear camera, but I personally never found a use for it...

Both are phenomenal tablets and I have used them both extensively...but choice would be the Nexus...the Xoom will only get cheaper, trust me...I paid full price for mine over a year ago....

Hoped this helps...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaytronics:
Correct. Why do I like the Xoom over the N7? Quite simple really, I just do.

In all seriousness, the Xoom has a metal housing which gives it that hey! I have a build quality that most if not all others dont have. And now that I have just returned the wifes N7. It being the Xoom does not suffer from the screen lift problem at all. I just read a bunch of posts where the screen crumpled under peoples thumbs where it was lifting. And Asus being the nice company that they are, refuses to replace them even though the dammage in the pictures clearly sides with factory deffect being a contributing factor in the dammage to the screen. My wifes N7 had screen lift. I brought it back before I read those posts about that problem. Im happy that I did. Also like the N7 the Xoom has great development going for it. Granted, it only has a 1Ghz dual core processor. It still does an excelent job. And having a 10" screen as a GPS is much better than a smaller screen.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakubamba:
You are very convincing and I have remarried very well!

The problem is big because now I'm more undecided than before.

Opt for xoom for the sd slot and the big display

I like the Nexus because it is new, mount jelly beans and has an excellent processor ....

I have ti decide because the offer for the xoom to 289 EURO expires Saturday ...

I forgot .. in Italy the Nexus 7 costs 249.00 EUR

Without promoting the xoom is sold at 480.00 EURO
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidem:
Price aside what are you intended uses of either tablet?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakubamba:
I would use the tablet mainly for internet, write notes and then connect via vpn to my office pc
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvbarton:
as mentioned previously, it's simply a matter of taste & expectations. the smaller 7" N7 is lighter, and more portable by design, but the 10" Xoom is such a solid device that has maintained it's own since launch. Given the JB update for wifi versions, and pending JB update for 3G/LTE versions, I would say go with a Xoom. Not to mention that you can pick up a Xoom for around $200 now.

My wife has an Ipad2, and I bought her a refurb Xoom for $199 and she loves it more than the Ipad2! Something about flash and stability, and the fact that she now has a "back" button sold her.

Worst case scenario, buy either one. Try/test it out. If you don't like it, return it and buy the other. Figure out what works best for you personally. That is the best course of action, imho.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyanideJack:
Hi all,

I am trying to upgrade my phone from MIUI 2.4.20 to MIUI v4. I understand that it is necessary to upgrade your phone to Android v4 prior to flashing MIUI v4, so I went ahead and flashed Nik's Project X. Once that was installed, and booted, I rebooted the phone into Recovery, wiped cache/factory reset, wiped Dalvik and then proceeded to flash the latest version of MIUI v4.

Thing is, the phone now hangs at the HTC splash screen. I've tried reflashing the MIUI ROM several times, I've tried formatting cache, dalvik and /system both before and after installing MIUI all to no avail.

Can anyone help? I'd like to experience some ICS lovin' on my phone, but can't seem to get it to work :crying:

If possible, a step-by-step guide would be brilliant.

If you are on a AOKP based Rom then you might have the same problem as I a while ago. When I switched from a stock Samsung Firmware to a AOKP based Rom where your External Sd Card is not mounted in /sdcard/external_sd but in /emmc. You need a Root Explorer to see your files.

This was annoying, so luckily there is an app that remounts your data to the old place: /sdcard/external_sd

I don't understand why there aren't many profiles available for the Galaxy 10.1

I have been looking for months and always come across the same threads, with one or two profiles posted

Are there any other profiles available?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] rvdangel630:
You can't find any because they are so easy to make. It's really not hard to do.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] M@31:
I know it is not hard to do, but it is a lot easier to upload a file to dropbox and share with people.

They are quite time consuming to make, if everyone shared, it wouldnt be as bad.....

Your logic isnt very good, if they are so easy to make, there would be more. Some people do not have a lot of free time (family, work). They rely on the generousity of others to help them out.

Hi everyone,

I tried to install the new ICS ROM for my P7310.

Had CM10 installed and first tried to install the modified one via CWM.

Worked like a charm, but after screen was off it became messed up just like this guy had it.

Then I tried to flash the Stock ROM via ODIN. Installed just fine, but now I have the same messed up screen.

Problem is: It is messed up in Stock Recovery, too

Can I install an older ROM (which one, tab is from Switzerland) or CWM via Odin?

I think I could hit the download mode without seeing what is on the screen ;)

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
(Edit: for a solution, scroll to end of this post)

I've heard "garbled screen" a few times regarding the ICS update.

Have you seen these posts? They suggest a solution... (and there's even another reference to Switzerland...)

I don't have experience with the issue, and can't comment beyond what I read elsewhere.

Edit: confirmed solution

by now several people have confirmed that flashing the P7310UELA3 is a working solution to screen flickering after resume from standby. (Flash the UELA3 using Odin, then flash again the ROM you really want to run)

You can find UELA3 ROM via any of these links:

Back to HC and to ICS again?

I've seen this quote a day late.

" If you're not on ICS yet but plan on upgrading, flash P7310UELA3 first. It seems that for some, flashing ICS straight gives you the weird screen strobing."

Now I have screen problems on ICS when I connect a data cable http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31410065&postcount=21. If I downgrade via Odin to P7310UELA3 and then go back to ICS via Odin, will data be preserved?

Update after flashing:

I flashed the recommended HC version, Tab couldn't get through bootanimation sequence. I turned the Tab off and started download mode again. Reflashed with ICS and all data was still there. Only the homescreens were empty again. My screen problem is fixed though.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:

Hi Everyone :o

I'm doing something wrong here, hope someone can help.

Every time I install a ROM (Jellybean or ICS) I get the garbled screen after standby.

So, I've tried flashing the P7310UELA3 via Odin and I get a fail, do I just upload it to Bootloader or PDA?

My P7310 is a French version and I have tried flashing the French bootloader too, but still get fail.

I am a noob at this, but I am so close to installing a good rom but fail at the final hurdle. Any help would be fantastic.

I've found a copy of the GT-P7310_XAR_P7310UELA3_P7310XARLA3_P7310UELA3 firmware, flashable with Odin.

I've uploaded it to a personal cloud storage account (Adrive). I believe Adrive limits the number of available downloads (per day, or week, or something) so I will start by providing the URL to those who request only.

When I downloaded the firmware a year ago from a hotfile link posted by sammobile or one of these places, I recompressed the .zip as a 7z file, which compressed it smaller. While I suppose that did not introduce any bit-errors, there's always the freakish 0.001% chance that it did. The Odin tool should normally check the checksum that's included in the P7310XARLA3_P7310UELA3_HOME.tar.md5 file, so any errors should be detected by Odin before flashing. Nonetheless, I should tell you I take no responsibility for any issues. I have never flashed this firmware myself, as I have a P7300 and never needed to solve the "garbled screen" problem.

The uploaded file + md5:

efb20f22c15bca5b8c00555263ac1a08 GT-P7310_XAR_P7310UELA3_P7310XARLA3_P7310UELA3.7z

inside of that you find + md5

9ADEB1EF5A3617C39478AC6B95092E9B P7310XARLA3_P7310UELA3_HOME.tar.md5

Use P7310XARLA3_P7310UELA3_HOME.tar.md5 with Odin - as described in this or other forum posts.

good luck

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
while thinking about this some more, I remembered that at the time this issue was discovered, the assumption was that it was the bootloader in the UELA3 that fixed the issue.

Alternatively, any other "recent" ROM, with a bootloader included, could be assumed to fix the problem. (however, not all Odin flashable ROMs have a bootloader inside the tar file - and you'd have to check which one does, and which one doesn't by examining all of them.

OK, I'm not sure why, I received no correspondence from any mods, but my previous post was deleted.

So I'm just posting this to figure out:

A) Why my topic was deleted.

B) What we can do to help users who might want to use the OaT rom.

C) Why OaT suddenly disappeared and took all his roms with him.

Again, I'm not trying to offend or break any rules, but there are tons of unanswered questions, and as a Touchpad owner, OaT's roms are by far the best for this device (that I've used). I've included a screenshot of the battery life I get with the 829 build.

Again, I'm not trying to get banned or deleted, but it seems unfair that some people don't get to use the OaT rom that was publicly available a few days ago for a lucky few (myself included), and now it's just gone.

Looking forward to hearing from a Mod or anybody about how to resolve the situation, and maybe help out our fellow Touchpad owners.
