All legit androids use microSD, as does the XOOM.

I don't know what you mean by hardware slot.

USB Port? Are you asking how the microSD slot interfaces with the device? Your question is good, because I too have been wondering where the SD Card goes.

http://www.androidcentral.com/motor...ardware-upgrade-4g-software-patch-microsd-use
[Xoom General] keitht:
I am not seeing any mention of SD card slot in the specs or in the user manual. Am I missing it somewhere?

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Motorol...rice/1946179.p?id=1218305636450&skuId=1946179
[Xoom General] jvs60:
There is a microsd slot at the top of the device. I think i remember seeing it in a hands on video
[Xoom General] keitht:
I saw it in a video but it was not the same model. It had a different color for the back. But it is odd that on Best Buy site the specs show NO for sd slot and no mention of it on Motorola site or user manual. Not sure why this is a big secret since it is a big deal and in fact, deal breaker for me if it is not there.
[Xoom General] Jrockttu:
I think I remember hearing somewhere around CES that the SD card slot didn't work and was going to be activated by a later patch. What's up with the Xoom being shipped with all kinds of missing functionality?
[Xoom General] dwboston:
The BGR hands-on with the Xoom this week mentions the microSD slot is on the top of the device, along with the headphone jack and SIM slot (if applicable). There is a microSD slot on the device. It's been mentioned several times that it will require a software update from Moto to activate it - it's not clear whether that's a Google issue or a Motorola issue. There has been some speculation that it was because Android 3.0 didn't yet support SD cards at the time the Xoom was being demo'd.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Perhaps that is why it is not mentioned in any of the official specs. Pretty lame for a $800 device. So I wonder if the slot is there, when it will actually work? Very sloppy.
[Xoom General] socomdark:
on page 10 of the manual theres a reference to microsd card. as for where it is i remember seeing it on the top of the xoom during hands on videos.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Thanks, I missed that:

"Tips & tricks

• Photos and videos are stored on your micro SD

memory card."

I just hope it actually works without waiting for an update. It is odd that Best Buy specs for the device do not mention an SD slot even exists.
[Xoom General] setite:
Yes. Support WILL come. I would love to know how they are having trouble with something so basic. Based on the Viewsonic G-Tablet labeling internal memory as SD 1 and the SD card as SD 2.. perhaps they are working on a more fluid integration of it. As long as they let me put the 50,000 apps I plan to install on the internal memory similar to App2SD I'm happy for now.
[Xoom General] dwboston:
I'm not bashing the iPad, but do the expensive iPad WiFi+3G versions support microSD? No, they don't. MicroSD support will come, likely shortly after launch, and 32GB of storage will be enough to tide people over until it does. I'm not worried about it.
[Xoom General] keitht:
I don't understand this comparison. If Apple had a MicroSD card on the device, it would most definitely work out of the box.
[Xoom General] setite:
An interesting point. iPad doesn't have the functionality at all and never will based on current devices. You have to decide how much space you want at release, which I find annoying as I always bought the cheapest device.

On one hand, I agree, Apple never releases a device unfinished. On the other hand, they accomplish this by taking a long time for a device to come to market, and they are always behind in both specs and features.

Apple has proven the merit of a wholly controlled ecosystem that lends to a more solid device. Many people don't care about specs and advanced features.
[Xoom General] jkurl:
Apple does take their time and won't rush to just release a product.

I am sure motorola will have a patch ready to go soon if not already. they may have already gotten it done and put on the device.
[Xoom General] ogar1978:
Being an early adopter of gadgets I understand that sometimes the first release can be a little buggy.

However it bugs me that Motorola did not clarify these issues. No flash and no SD support out of the gate is something that should have been clarified to everyone. I have followed pretty closely the last month and did not realize either of these issues until today.

Having the promise of working features after day 1 is not always a lock as my Galaxy S phone was promised to have an update for flash support and an update to fix the GPS issue yet that has never happened.

i am still buying one on Thursday but will be deciding on the 29th day if I feel I can trust Motorola.
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
MOTO just wanted to wear the hat of "first to market a honeycomb tablet". Its a race for that hat, with solid patches coming down the pipe pretty quickly.
[Xoom General] acidone:
Not sure why we are talking about the Ianything.. But Cut and Paste wasn't initially supported ... enough said.
[Xoom General] gogol:
This has been answered by the Motorola supports:

https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/45325?tstart=0

So, apparently, this could be something NEW to Android.

There is only 1 single partition for all apps, media, files, etc.

That's good!
[Xoom General] generic.imitation:
I think I talked about this in a different thread, but the reason for the delay in sd card support is because the sd card will not be mounted/unmounted whenever you plug it into the pc. Which I would prefer. Having my sd card mount and unmount every time I plug it into the pc is annoying.

This is the reason for the delay. Rebuilding the wheel takes some time.
[Xoom General] setite:
Especially when you are running a music streaming app via app2sd and the app stops suddenly :). Since I can push/pull files over ADB it makes sense that this functionality is possible. This would be a significant useability advantage over other platforms if they could allow a device to be synced while remaining functional. I almost never synced my iPhone because it meant no phone for the better part of an hour.
[Xoom General] SKaustin:
Well, this thread shows that people are not thinking about the SD card the same way as me -- you all seem to think of it in terms of expanding internal storage. I was hoping for an actual SD card slot, not microSD, so that I could load pics from my DSLR camera to the Xoom while traveling. The iPad accomplishes this by selling an add-on dock connector-to-SD Card for $30. Wonder what my options are with the Xoom. Anyone hear about accessories?
[Xoom General] Badger2point0:
I wanted an SD slot for this exact reason too, would be nice to carry this around and be able to dump/edit some photos on the go.
[Xoom General] vazagothic:
How about using a microSD card in a SD adapter with your SLR? That way you could view/edit your photo on Xoom and shoot directly to the card.

Just a thought ..
[Xoom General] Badger2point0:
That isn't a bad thought but micro SD cards (any that I've seen anyway) just aren't fast enough to be shooting RAW or HD video, maybe doable at lower resolutions/jpeg stuff.

edit: Looking around, there are some pretty speedy cards online but they aren't cheap and I already have a small army of fast standard SD cards.

Booo to extra cost of buying high end microSD cards. lol
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Couldn't you just buy a USB flash reader like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/SanDisk-SD-Mobi..._Accessories&hash=item2a0e4dd99a#ht_556wt_804

and plug it into the USB port?
[Xoom General] jaeisber:
The Xoom does not have a full USB port
[Xoom General] SKaustin:
And I'm not holding out any hope that Honeycomb has camera profiles that would let me hook up my camera direct to its mini- or micro-usb connector either. So, other than an Eye-fi card with a wireless connection, it appears there is no way to use the Xoom with a camera. I find this a serious limitation of the device.
[Defy Android Development] |ErosizeD|:
That is my problem, i can't full reset the phone and then i cant install new roms... because yesterday i installed sense, and the phone stills on bootlop...
[Defy Android Development] edition-:
If you only see a black screen you can still flash, just connect to the PC, open RSDLite, if the phone isn't there just use the power button till it appears.

If you are in a bootloop on bootanimation you need to do a full wipe, just press VOLDOWN+POWER till you see the greenandroid and then press VOLUP+VOLDOWN to access the menu.

If you only the white and black moto logo you need to flash boot_only.sbf

Ok, it's fine now, but stills give me the cache error, but... it seems to be working ;)

Hello Guys,

Please help me.......

I am not able to access internet wifi......... though it already working perfectly on my laptop.

Although, it shows that wifi is connected when I check my settings in my phone... but i am not able to browse anything........ it doesn't open anything.

Please help.

Regards,

more info would help us help you
[Galaxy 3 General] Bytecode:
Try to reset phone from settings.
[Galaxy 3 General] khemraj7:
just turned off and turned on the wifi.......still not working.

is there any other way?
[Galaxy 3 General] khemraj7:
What sort of more info do you need......... please elaborate
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
stuff like info about the wifi network, if you've checked several networks, signal strength, which browser (stock or other browser), have you tried other internet based apps etc...

In the OP you are pretty much saying "hey, i connect to a network and cant open a website, help!" How can anybody deduce the exact problem from that?
[Galaxy 3 General] khemraj7:
Well, bro I've just bought this fone two day back, no not quite comfortable with its functionality and all that stuff.

It would be highly appreciable if you could help me
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
I would if I could, but with this amount of information all i can suggest is to do a reset.
[Galaxy 3 General] khemraj7:
Please tell me what should i tell you.

I simply connected wifi and it got conected......... it show in the settings that wifi is connected....... now, i trying to access net via the default browser which comes with galaxy 3, but it is not able to open any page. even I tried to connnect gmail it is also not getting connecting.......showing connection error............

this is the real problem :(
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
Does this happen on only one wifi network or on more networks? If its only on one it might be a network specific issue, like having to set DNS, or something else. If you have only experienced it on one (even if you only tested on one) what can you tell me about the network; is it your home network, school network, work network or whatever, what kind of protection it has.

Tell me us anything you can about this situation, since we cant conclude what the situation is, is it a problem with the phone, with the wifi network, aliens disrupting your phone to get some laughs out of it. It could be anything!
[Galaxy 3 General] khemraj7:
It happens with all the network, it tried accessing from office as well :(
[Galaxy 3 General] khemraj7:
I am trying to access wifi from my home network....... tried from office as well......

both the connection are not protected....... though I am that technical for such stuff..... but knows that anyone can access my internet. I just realized this, when one of my friend was browsing net on his laptop from my wifi connection :(

even my phone says that wifi is connected. but there is problem with browser... none of app is connecting....... not even FB, games or any other application
[Galaxy 3 General] debaj:
Before resetting try to reboot the phone.
[Galaxy 3 General] khemraj7:
done, still the same problem

Which rom do you have ? have u flashed any ??
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:

[Galaxy 3 General] 2happy2beu:
Hi.

I have wi-fi problem too. Just appeared 2 days ago. Wi-fi was working normally at my friends house and after i've selected "forget" on his wi-fi and now i cant connect wi-fi at home. It says "unable to scan networks". In phone status there is Wi-Fi MAC address unavailable. If you have an idea just write it down!

Didnt try factory reset yet, hoping you have better idea!

Sry for bad english..
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
you have to be roooted:

delete or rename(i suggest an extension change with the date) bcm_supp.conf in /data/wifi/

I suggest using root explorer, terminal is also an option.

warning, you will lose saved wifi networks/passwords.

you can open the file to retrieve some passwords.

if you have a titanium backup of system data i think you could restore it with that, not sure about it.
[Galaxy 3 General] 2happy2beu:
I dont care about passwords, will get them easy.

But i'm not that good using Terminal Emulator. What should i write in it to rename/delete bcm_supp?

EDIT : you are my hero! just installed root explorer (really cool apk), renamed the file above and works fine!

If u ever come to Croatia you got a beer :)
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
Yup, root explorer is a nice app, I had to do it via the terminal myself a couple of times, not as pleasant as with root explorer.

P.S. I got a beer, yay! Where in Croatia?
[Galaxy 3 General] 2happy2beu:
One of the most beautiful city at the coast - Split :D

Now i gotta find some nice ROM, this original has become boring.. :cool:
[Galaxy 3 General] khemraj7:
Sorry, I din't get you.......... What is ROM

I am from India, if it is somehow related to the country, I really don't have any Idea....

I believe I should not have bought this phone, I am just illiterate in this regard.

People here are talking about terminal, root, blaah.....blaah, but unfortunately I am not aware of any such term but I can surely try finding these thing if will help me......

This will be highly appreciated.
[Galaxy 3 General] khemraj7:
how to check if data connection is turned on or not.... I've not been using any other internet connection, not even GPRS, no LAN.

Wifi is connected as it shows in my phone that WIFI is connected

Please help
[Galaxy 3 General] braveBuddy:
at the top status bar it shows "E" symbol if your are connected to GPRS/EDGE else if you have 3G then 3G or H as symbols other wise if connected to WiFi then that usual WiFi symbol.

Also the power widget shows them active.

you can turn on and off your data connection for WiFi and network settings options.
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
Well, if you want to learn and are willing to learn, that will change. Regularly read the forums here and do the occasional google search and that should change in a week or so.

If what the person above me suggested doesn't work you could try:

go to wifi settings, menu button (left one), advanced, check static route. For DNS 1 enter 4.2.2.4 for DNS 2 enter 4.2.2.6 leave the rest empty. The probability that this will help is low, but it doesn't hurt to try.

If you by any chance already have something in any of the data fields of static route let us know what they are.

Well then maybe I'll get the beer this summer :P

Osobito ako nabavim karte za Hajduk-Barca ili Hajduk-Real :D

P.S. Ja sam mostarac :P
[Galaxy 3 General] khemraj7:
Thanks for you suggestion, I'll surely be start using this forum and google to learn more.

Besides, no there is no data entered in any of the field except the "MAC address" i.e. 3c:5a:37:ad:af:8f which is not enabled.

Also, as I already told you that I've no other network activated on my phone, so no other network is appearing in top status bar except the WIFI active status. It shows that WIFI is activated, but I am not able to browse.

Thanks for all of your help thus far......

Look forward to get the solution for this Issue......... I hope you guys would surely help me with this

Hi guys,

Hi People, i came with maybe a stupid question but i need to do it.

I currently running Racht's Floyo 0.10 and the rom is so stable and smooth but how everybody know there are some bugs in that rom some of them like 3.5mm Jack and video are useful to me so i decide to go back to a stock SE but there is a thing that is kind of boring in the SE stock Eclair and is the Contact, Dialer and other stuff related interface and with the Floyo 0.10 this part is so nice but i dont know how to call it if is an APK, and module ported to the rom or what.

So i like so much if you can tell me what it is and if i can install or use it in the Stock Eclair ROM

I leave some screenshots of what i'm talking about that i like so much in Floyo 0.10.

Thanks in advance
[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
I believe that is just the stock Android dialer/contacts/etc. App. It may be possible to find them online and put them on your phone.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Desire4a:
Desire LeeDROID 2.3d

Hope someone here can help me? Since I have rooted and flashed my Desire with LeeDroid 2.3d, my custom ringtone went away.

I still have the ringtone on /sdcard/downloads in mp3 format.

However, since I have Leedroid I can not select custom ringtones anymore, and only have the default ones in the selection box.

I found that the default ringtones are stored in /system/media/audio/ringtones. But this folder is Readonly, I can not copy my ringtone into that folder.

Now my question is what do I need to do to get my custom ringtone back?

Best way I guess would be to set the default ringtone folder to Read/Write, but how to do that? (I am not an Linux/Android crack)

Or is there an app which could help me out of this?

Would be great if someone here would have a solution or workaround for me

Kind regards

Peter
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Just make the media/audio/ringtones folder on your sd and put the mp3 in there.

Many thanks brother, I am already trying to put the Gallery2D and the Camera app which opens Gallery2D instead of 3D, the sooner I am able to test it on my Kaiser :)

And I am still a hand back regarding Gingerbread since (maybe) the kernel is not fully supported or (maybe) its the horrible feedback. Also I am afraid to put my Kaiser into risk coz changing kernels leads to stampeding the Disk on Chip. I will do soon but after alot of testing and stripping here and there.
