The Xoom will fail. I don't even know if I'll buy one anymore, and I was the biggest fan of it after CES. If I buy one, it will likely be the wifi version. The nail in that coffin is the ridiculous restrictions on activation. Requiring 3g activation, plus charging $200 more for a 3g/4g radio is outrageous. I don't think I would have even taken a second look at the $800 price tag if I 1) didn't have to pay more to activate, and 2) didn't know that they're charging $200 just for the 3g radio.

We have to vote with our wallets, and my wallet says that a 3g/4g radio isn't worth $200 and carrier restrictions will not be tolerated.
[Xoom General] Arcadia310:
I think the launch will fail as far as selling a high amount of units and establishing a brand name. Once the iPad 2 and other Honeycomb tablets hit the market, the playing field will be a lot different than it is now. The Xoom will be forgotten about. Even if it isn't forgotten about, it'll be VERY hard for Motorola to get a good amount of sales with it. Since the G-Slate and GT 10.1 are so evenly matched, the sales will basically be split. Unless one of the tablets are much cheaper than the others and has decent television marketing.
[Xoom General] setite:
This is not true. Something I watched today, maybe the Engadget podcast, said that the G-Slate is going to be 1000$. This is perfectly believable because its got what the XOOM has + useless 3D features. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not evenly matched. It has a smaller size but IIRC it's missing a microSD card slot, hdmi, and usb. The only way to get USB, and maybe HDMI is to use hard to find PDMI cables. It might be cheaper out the gate, but any discount will be mitigated or obliterated by the need to pay high price pdmi adapters that 99.9% of us don't have.

I think we will see the WiFi-Only 32GB version released around iPad 2 time for 600$. I am hoping they release a 16GB version too to compete at the 500$ price point, but I don't think it will matter. Honeycomb will not be for people who are happy with the iPad, as such I don't think the 500$ price point is as important as people think.

Of course, only time will tell.
[Xoom General] Arcadia310:
$1000 converted from UK currency? :rolleyes:

Devices in other countries always cost much more than they do in the US. Heck, the Optimus 2X is like $750 if you convert Korean currency to US dollars. I hardly believe that will be the final price. Was $1200 the final price of the Xoom? No it wasn't. Even with 3D technology, it still won't release anywhere around that.
[Xoom General] setite:
Well no one really thought the XOOM was 1200$. Apple fanboys perpetuated that nonsense to hurt the device, but it was obviously a placeholder price as they always are.

About the 1000$.. I just heard it on Engadget podcast, I expected them to use US money. If its 1000$ GBP.. that's crappy reporting. Though I have to say I don't see the LG being competitive with 3G. I'm going to be so i can preorder a xoom in 9 hours :)
[Xoom General] Arcadia310:
If they're "Apple" fanboys what does that make you? I can't stand when people are biased like this its immature as hell dude.
[Xoom General] jiwengang:
There is a huge "Netral" camp of comsumers out there, who should really be the primary target of both Apple and Non-Apple tablet producers.

From this perspective, if , assuming Apple follows the same style by releasing iPad 2 at 499/599/699 for wifi-only version and reduce iPad 1 by 100 USD for each level, XOOM has a VERY VERY hard time to justify its 800 price tag with comparable iPad 2, whose functionality is rumored to be comparable to current "state-of-art" tablets.

And one important point, from marketing point of view,

1. Still a lot of people are seen as very cool by carrying an apple product around, but not by carrying a Dell/Motorola around. Sony may be better.

2. Was there ever/is there going to be a long line like the one on first launching day of iPhone 4 for Motorola's XOOM? where it is gonna be? Best Buy's store front???

Again, I am not an Apple fanboy, and in fact, I hate their arrogant attitude and monopoly behavior (subscription policy etc etc), but just at the time I am about to happily find the best Android tablet come out to compete with iPad, I saw the price tag... ouch! Unfortunate decision, They thought their brand carry such a premium???
[Xoom General] setite:
Correction. LG won't be competitive with 3D, not 3G.

I am simply stating that anyone who thought the 1200$ price was legit is either an idiot, a noob, or intentionally fear mongering. I knew instantly that 1200$ was the typical price holder we always see initially in BBY and other retailers systems in the month(s) leading up to a release. When the HTC EVO first showed up in systems it was listed at well over 1500$, thought I don't recall the number. So if someone is knowledgeable of the industry, and thought 1200$ was legit, they are an idiot. If they were knowledgeable and perpetuated the price, like most of the Engadget raging commenters, they are a fearmongering Apple/Palm/Nokia-boy. Or simply a troll.

I currently choose Android. I do not pretend that Apple is complete crap. They serve a purpose, and I can see that. A fanboy is someone who can't see that.

I wonder what your issue is that you call me immature.
[Xoom General] keitht:
The fanboy comments are always so immature. I just skip past them.
[Xoom General] setite:
I'm confused. Am I being labeled as a fanboy?
[Xoom General] keitht:
No no no... not you :)
[Xoom General] setite:
Ok good. I mean I love Android, but I have always considered myself reasonable in my assessments. I have switched allegiances too willy nilly to be a true fanboy. I was swinging the apple banner till the evo release.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
I hate to compare anything with the idevices. But when you first see the $800 price tag. It makes everybody thinks motorola over price it compared to the ipad. but come on, the ipad has only half the features in the xoom. 64 gb ipad with wifi plus 3g is $829. that's $30 more than the xoom. The only thing that version has over the xoom is storage. Xoom on the other hand has sd card slot.

For the record, I just check best buy site yesterday. pre order is now on back order, so are the accessories. I'm just not sure if I can trust that source though. Seemed pretty fast.

ps: I was the first one pre order the thing at my local best buy.
[Xoom General] dwboston:
The Xoom accessories were "backordered" right off the bat at BB.com. They were never in stock.

[Xoom General] wang1404:
Maybe so. That leaves the question why was the xoom itself placed back ordered?
[Xoom General] checkbox111:
It won't bomb as there's always some 'buyers' that will have to have one no matter what the cost, i'm sure some would have paid $1200 just to have one first :rolleyes:

Look at the Samsung Tab, everybody said it was overpriced, others said it was crap, but now the price has dropped 40% everybody's getting one, they're selling more than they ever did.

I'll get a Xoom but i'll wait until April and pay $450 thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parawizard:
Hello XDAdevelopers,

I have recently flashed my HTC Desire to Oxygen2.0RC7 and nobody can receive my MMS messages. They all get "unsupported media type". I have been looking into my APN settings and it looks like MMS Protocol is completely missing from the list of options in this ROM. Anyone else have this issue?

Would it make sense that people cannot receive my MMS but I can receive theres because of the MMS Protocol option missing?

Thanks,

Bryan
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parawizard:
Flashed to Oxygen 2.0.1 now. Still doesn't seem to work. Gingerbread is missing the MMS Protocol option. Looks like there are only a handful of ISP's that use this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doubletapz:
Yup i cant send/receive MMS too.

i tried AOSP ROMs like ginger, redux and oxygen.

all of them dont have the "MMS Protocol: Wap 2.0" in the APN Setting.

But in Leedroid which is sense based. with the same settings plus the MMS protocol. i have no MMS problems at all.

i have searched the forums, tried different settings but still no mms for AOSP roms.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2Noob4U:
I did search around before posting this.

I am sending in my phone for replacement (Screen issue) I did the rooting procedure that first came out for the device to get S=OFF

I ran the PD15IMG file because I read that was all I needed to do to get S=ON.

The phone says S=ON after unrooting.

Is clockwork recovery totally gone? Is there anyway to make sure it's completely back to stock before I return it?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amac1222:
open up terminal emulator, type su and see what it says

reboot into recovery, if you get the red triangle w/ the phone behind it, thats the stock recovery

try opening any apps you may have that are "root" only and see if they give you permission.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2Noob4U:
I tried su and it says access denied. I trying booting into recovery and nothing is there (volume down + power or vol up + power) tried both. No Red triangle and no blue recovery. Am I doing it right?

EDIT: Okay so I need to use Google a little more. Volume Down + Power gets you to fastboot. From there you select recovery and get the Red Triangle then Volume Up + Power to get to recovery. It's all stock now and good to go. Thanks for your help guys.

FYI for anyone searching for this thread.... This only unroots your phone if you used the original method for getting S=OFF. The gfree method is different.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msyang20:
after u hold volume down and up + power, u have to read the given options on the screen...click volume down to scroll over 'recovery' to be selected then u click the power button to confirm booting in recovery mode...thats when youll see the black screen with a red errorneous triangle and a picture of a phone behind it.

thats wat i tried from also using pd15img to restore...and so far as to wat ppl here say...i confirmed these steps for my phone..i guess this means my phone is completely unrooted and stock as the day it came out of the box. great! :)

What exactly are you wanting to do just make wallpapers like this? Or a pre made theme with everything set up?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] natehoch96:
It looks like they just changed the icons of the apps to be transparent then applied a wallpaper that already said the app names on it. I would love to do this but its tough to do without a Dell Streak. :/
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] McBang2023:
My goal is to have a similar type wallpaper, several if I may, so that I could apply my own icons. (Transparent) and use just one home screen. But as you can see, these are huge and landscape.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] neoseal:
I have a friend that is pretty good at photoshop and will give it a shot for me. The problem that I see on this though is you will not be able to have more than one screen to move between or non of the icons will line up when you move to an alternate screen. What apps do you want listed on it? Do you just want the wallpapers from the other thread formatted to fit the vibrant screen? Let me know so I can pass it on.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] McBang2023:
I wouldnt mind having only one home screen. So long as the general things are avaiable. (Dialer, Gmail, Market, Messaging, Web) a PLUS would be to also have a File Browser section and a Music section along wih a gallery. but these are not essential. The wallpapers from the other thread are landscape and not really for the vibrant. so to resize them would look odd. Anything original is ok. im not picky. i just thought it would be a good idea to introduce these to the vibrant.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
Actually... not entirely accurate. You can use the MultiPicture Live Wallpaper from the Market (free), and assign a specific wallpaper to each screen. You can use the same basic wallpaper with different app text locations, or different ones. Once you set up the screens you want, then add the trans icons, and boom, multiple screens with the same basic idea as what the OP had in mind.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] neoseal:
That's true I forgot about that live wallpaper. But I will give him the info and have him start working on them. Not sure how long it will take bit I'll put some pressure on him to not lolly gag around ;P. It might take a few days but I will post an update in a few days.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaithFor_TheFallen:
Please take in mind that i am 18, and that i might not understand technical terms..

So i am one to like to try different kinds of custom ROMS on my captivate because, quite frankly, the stock ROM is terrible. Last year i flashed Cognition V.2 but i eventually got tired of it, so i switched to Cappy's GingerBread ROM, but did not like how much battery life it used. SO seeing that Cognition had come out with V.3 a couple weeks later, i decided to try and flash that ROM. And this is where the problems began...

AS you might know, the most common way to flash roms is to use ROM manager, and when i transferred the file to my phone and selected "Install ROM from SD card." Normally the phone would restart and then go into recovery mode..that did not happen. It just stayed on the ATT start up screen. So i reluctantly pulled out the battery after waiting on it for an hour.

This is when i realized that i could not enter recovery mode at all! ive tried the volume button trick along with trying apps that send your phone directly into recovery mode..oh and i also tried using terminal emulator and sending a command to my phone to reboot into recovery mode, THAT did not work.

So after that I decided as a somewhat last resort, i tried the hard reset, (where you dial a number in and it factory resets your phone.) Which was appearantly was the worst idea i could have ever done because now when i boot up my phone it will get past the ATT screen but now my lock screen will randomly turn on and off by itself, like i cannot unlock it, the screen will repeatedly turn itself on...then off every 5 or so seconds.

I am so confused on what i am to do, and im sorta stressing out about this point in time. So please if one of you educated forum readers know how to fix my terrible mistakes, the help would be EXTREMELY appreciated.
