I hope this a joke.. all of the 7" tablets have a bigger battery than that! The iPad has a 6600mah battery.. and you're claiming less and HALF the iPad battery? We'd be lucky to see 4 hours of usage.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
http://www.wirefly.com/catalog/verizon_wireless/motorola/xoom-black/

Lists it at 3250mah.

Wow, if that is true then it is awful and I am not buying this tablet. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is supposed to have a 6860 mAh battery for christ sakes. The LG G-Slate has a 6400 mAh battery. That will give them over DOUBLE the battery life of this Xoom tablet.

Edit: I wonder if the reports of the screen not being as bright as expected is how Motorola somehow pulls 10 hours of video out of such a minuscule battery. Either way, totally turned off from this tablet now.

Edit: Oh ****, Amazon too:

http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-XOOM-Android-Verizon-Wireless/dp/B004NNVHUC

This pretty much confirms it for me. Unless everyone is seemingly listing false specs for this thing, I am dissapoint.
[Xoom General] schnoz:
Well if that is the case then i am glad im waiting on the wifi version so others can confirm this. I know my heros battery is horrible, i would hate for my tablet to be the same.
[Xoom General] Old MuckenMire:
Yep, hell no man this is the final straw for me. I can already hear it : people are going to claim it has dual core processor so uses less battery. Well, that doesn't mean **** when you have a 10.1in screen to light up. This is going to be another damn device that drains battery like a *****...AND you cannot even install an extended battery! This thing seems more half assed every time I read about it.
[Xoom General] schnoz:
I know what you mean. I was really really excited for this too. I guess im going to have to wait.
[Xoom General] Diversion:
Holy crap, I hope someone got their facts wrong.. 3250mah is an insult.. There's just no way the Xoom could play a movie on loop for 10 hours straight.. even with lowest brightness, with all radios turned off and all other apps killed. Unless the battery being used is some kind of brand new battery technology (which I doubt).. it's just not feasible.
[Xoom General] Old MuckenMire:
Yeah here is the important text from the link:

"The Motorola XOOM weighs 25 ounces and measures 9.81 x 6.61 x 0.51 inches. Its 3250 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 10 hours of video playback, up to 10 hours of Wi-Fi web browsing, up to 90 hours of 3G web browsing, and up to 3.3 days of MP3 playback. It has a standby time of up to 14 days (336 hours) and an approximate 3.5-hour charge time. It runs on the CDMA 800/1900 frequencies as well as EV-DO, Rev A 3G frequencies. This device can also be upgraded to the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network in the coming months."

90 hours of 3G web browsing and 14 days of standby time?? From a 3250Mah battery with Android OS? My ass. I bet Moto is telling the truth about as much as they did when they claimed Flash would be installed.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
LOL, didn't the original Samsung Galaxy Tab, you know the 7" version, have a 4000mah battery??? WTF motorola?????
[Xoom General] socomdark:
remember that we had a user here using the xoom. adub007 i believe his name is. he said out of the box he got around 6 hours. the tablet comes out tomorrow and a lot of us are getting. just wait for people who get it to confirm all this stuff for you. Thats why this thread was made
[Xoom General] Diversion:
Yes, I own a Galaxy Tab (GSM version) and it's got a 4000mah battery.. and I get like 4-5 hours of heavy use... maybe less lol. Android's not the most battery efficient OS out there (at this point in time).. But I seriously doubt Honeycomb has enough efficiency improvements to get these numbers from a 3250mah battery.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Yea, but everyone uses their devices differently. Until someone plays 10 hours of video with the brightness maxed and volume maxed, I will simply assume by the size of the battery that it will have half as much life as my iPad and SLIGHTLY more battery life than my Epic4g.

Edit: You can add "Size of battery in mah" to the questions on the OP.
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
Between this, flash and the “gauge internet reaction” pricing model, I cant help but picture a room full of MBAs that have NO CLUE how to successfully deliver a homerun, blowing smoke up each other’s asses about what “great” ideas they have.

Playing fast and loose with details like this leading into a product launch... that in a day of hyper-blogs will absolutely have a long term effect on the product’s success, is NEVER a good idea.

Damn it.
[Xoom General] Diversion:
Am I reading that correctly?!? NINETY frickin' hours of 3g surfing? I bet "3g webbrowsing" would most definately eat the battery up faster than playing a local movie on loop for 10 hours.. so how is this possible?
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Hey, but on the other hand, if they can someone pull it off, it makes the Galaxy Tab 10.1 into some sort of Jesus device with over 180 hours of 3g browsing and a MONTH of standby time.
[Xoom General] Old MuckenMire:
It's not. Particularly that stand-by time. There has never been an Android device made that will go 14 days in stand-by.

And I don't need 14 days of stand-by BUT I DO expect 10 hours of video per charge. Motorola has been claiming this for two months and if they're lying again like they did about Flash, I'm out. For $799 bucks plus all the data activation crap, a 3250Mah battery is bull****.
[Xoom General] Old MuckenMire:
from Engadget's review:

"Battery life on the Xoom was excellent. Beyond excellent, actually -- some of the best performance we've seen. Running a video on loop with the screen set at 65 percent brightness, we were able to get playback for nearly eight and a half hours (8:20 to be exact). Motorola claims up to ten, so we weren't far off the mark at all. We had a few background tasks going on, and both WiFi and 3G radios were active. We could easily see maximizing this if you're in airplane mode with a slightly lower brightness setting."

I'm calming down a little...but now I am also going to be interested in screen brightness, or lack thereof .
[Xoom General] Diversion:
What's odd is that they list 10 hours of Wifi web browsing.. but 90 hours of 3g web browsing.. that statement HAS to be wrong.. Wifi uses much less of a current draw to operate than 3g.. (Especially CDMA EVDO).. Something's not right here.. And my iPad Wifi model has gone almost a month on standby.. so their 14 day standby seems really pathetic..

But my Samsung Galaxy Tab can only last like a week tops on standby.. And it's got a bigger battery than the Xoom..

So with this said, 3250mah has to be wrong... it just can't be.. I refuse to believe it lol!
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
Same here. I was pretty caught off guard by the "Battery life on the Xoom was excellent. Beyond excellent, actually -- some of the best performance we've seen." comment. The size has to be a mistake...

I felt like a kid who was just told that there wont be Christmas this year... I want a goddamn tablet and I'm really tired of waiting.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Actually I have an evo that looses 3% battery a day in standby...its a test device and there is nothing running in the background. It is also in airplane mode.

Yea this makes me feel much better also.
[Xoom General] Old MuckenMire:
I'm hoping it's a mistake too but starting to think it's not. Imagine what a 5 or 6000Mah battery could have done in this thing!

That's exactly how I felt. The whole reason I still have my AT&T Nexus One is because the Inspire has a 1230Mah battery that cannot be replaced with a larger one.

Yeah that Engadget review dropped just in time to stop me from going into cardiac arrest! :D
[Xoom General] madpoet:
This battery life issue is bumming me out... I'm obviously going to have to give it a try tomorrow when I get mine. BB is putting these things under the Computer return policy though, which means a 15% restocking fee and only 14 days return window :(
[Xoom General] Diversion:
Really wish they'd crack it open and tell us the battery size :/
[Xoom General] familiarstranger:
my g-tab is 3650 Mah and i get 7-9 hours easily with full brightness and constant wifi. i wouldnt worry too much about the battery life.
[Xoom General] troyready:
Ad-hoc networking

Has anyone tried tethering the Xoom to an ad-hoc network (specifically one from the Wifi Tether app on an Android phone)?
[Xoom General] silverwolf0:
Can you change the tron neon lines to something like tron-ish? Can you disable the fade and ghosting? Are there themes that possibly do that?
[Xoom General] NeutronBomb:
Yeah when I went to Costco today to try the Xoom out they had no internet connection on it so I fired up Wireless Tether on my Droid X. Recognized it just fine and worked just fine. Now I just need my damn Thunderbolt so I can tether to so tasty LTE.
[Xoom General] troyready:
Thanks for the info!
[Xoom General] gogol:
Can you output the video via that micro HDMI port straight to TV?

I read from AnandTech review:

" ... The micro HDMI port can't be used for mirroring, it looks to be exclusively for getting video out through some of the docks Motorola plans on selling. ..."

That's not good if we MUST use dock to output the video via micro HDMI port :(
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
According to the Moto Support site, mirroring will work, but video and pics wont work on the tv until later... doesnt seem to make a whole lot of sense, but that what they posted...

[Xoom General] wang1404:
I think it's possible. I'm not sure yet though. But I'll pick mine up today and try to answer your question asap. it may read the drive as an external memory just like an sd card. I'll update this.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
XOOM tethers through the evo also. Testing before walking out the store.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Out of the box Memory.
[Xoom General] AgeOfPanic:
I am very interested if you can just drag a 7 gig mkv file (720p or 1080p) to the internal memory (does the file system support that size) and then if something like rockplayer can play it. Otherwise, I might hold of until Kal-El and stick with my ipad for a while. Please let us know.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Just hooked it up to my pc, windows 7 has the drivers already installed. It shows up like an sdcard. 28.7gb of which a gb is in use.
[Xoom General] Jrockttu:
To answer the very often answered question...If you look at your installed apps, it has a bar for memory used by apps and memory available for apps. The memory available for apps on mine is over 28gb, so the app space is not partitioned like on the phones.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aujbman:
Recently my heaphone jack started malfunctioning so I called HTC and they said they would send me a replacement and as long as mine did not have any damage that was out of warranty, it would (basically) be free of charge. My phone should not have any physical damage that is out of warranty but I am wondering if, when they turn it on and see that it has been rooted, if that will fall under non-warranty damage.

Basically, i am about to return my phone for a new one, and am wondering if I should revert the phone back to stock and attempt to re-lock the bootloader or if it would even matter considering the problem I have is with the hardware?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
You can't re-lock the bootloader but you can revert to stock. This guide should do the job.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aujbman:
Okay, thanks. I thought I had seen a thread about re-locking the bootloader at some point but I guess it must have been a work in progress or something. Plus, even though I searched before, I searched different terms after posting this and saw that a lot of people have returned their unlocked N1's and had no additional charges, as long as they reverted back to stock. So I guess that's what I will do. Really impressed with HTC's customer service!

MOD EDIT: As of November 7th CoreDroid officially moved all its support to another site.

Due to repeated kanging from other Roms as well as needing CST paid version to obtain the latest version of the Rom, anything related to the CoreDroid team is not allowed to be posted anymore on XDA and is from now on considered warez.

This includes: Signatures, links, themes, as well as any work developed by the CD team or included in any Rom.

TL;dr: If you included anything from CD in your work, you have to remove it.

For those of you that have an inspire 4g and havent rooted yet, today would be good day to do that. The roms are coming starting today. Just flashed this core droid 2.5 rom, mainly cause i love having battery circle mod, and just loaded setcpu to 1.22 gighrz overclock and im now getting 45+ Mflops and 2500+ quadrant scores. Audio working without flashing stock kernel and youtube and other media streaming apps now working aswell. Today is a good day!
[HTC Inspire 4G] sprke:
Just flashed this ROM..everything is working so far but the audio is tinny :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
Hoping anyone can post their results with the Rom and if the following is working:

WIFI

Bluetooth

HSUPA Enabled

Hotspot Capable

Audio Quality Okay

Also is an additional Kernel required to get it working on the Inspire?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scabes24:
Yes sir!

WIFI - Working

Bluetooth - Working

HSUPA Enabled - Yes

Hotspot Capable - Yes

Audio Quality Okay - Small amount of static on my end but my girlfriend said everything was perfectly clear from her iphone (I haven't tried any other radios or kernals yet except the telus kernal which worked flawlessly)

EDIT: didnt see your last bit, to answer your question, no you don't need additional kernal, all set after flash :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scabes24:
Audio is tinny? lol, are you saying volume is low? and which volume? (in-call or speaker)
[HTC Inspire 4G] sprke:
The in-call audio is definitely tinny for me. It sounds like the speaker is shot lol. I've had this problem with all the ROMS I've tried and I always end up going back to stock rooted where the audio quality is perfect.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scabes24:
Have you tried telus kernal?

Just installed the latest release coming from stock rooted setup.Everything work as its supposed to but with way better performance and smoothness.Foloowed op's fresh install directions and have no problems to report.

I recommend the themed version all the little things is what really impressed me about it.

Oh yeah Im on an Inspire 4g for those who were wondering.

You need to get an app called Folder Organizer, it's on the market.

Can we get some feedback on the audio? If its the same quality as stock I'm all in :)

I guess a few minor issues. Discovered that the gps.conf file in/system/etc is set to Europe. I took one from s stock rom that is set to North America, and it seems to have made it much better.

Really happy with 5.0, on the weather widget found something very weird, initially it was right on sport with my area in New York, It gave me weather for my town in New York...

All I did then was change the language to English (UK) from English (US) and now my weather shows information for New York State and not my town???

OK changing the language to English US I back to my town weather on the widget....

[HTC Inspire 4G] SNadler:
Question for you guys..

Going from 4.9 to 5.0 and using TB for apps, is it safe to backup "All Apps and System Data" under the 4.9 and restore to 5.0 ?

Normally going between different Base roms I only "Backup Apps" only. But this being 4.9 to 5.0 I did not think it should cause any issues.

Asking before doing usually saves a lot of grief!

What is the general concencious ?

Thanks all......:)

Have you ever had any problems with the battery door? I ask because the battery door completes the Ant circuit for the WIFI (Sim cover for Mobile access). HTC has been giving them out for FREE with a phone call if they are cracked or broken etc. Also they advised me when I called them that they just received a new batch of "Improved" doors. When I got it I could not see a difference but maybe it would be worth looking into? I have not had a WIFI issue but have been following your threads and thought you might give it a try if you already have not....:)

Sorry if this seems off "ROM" topic but if it helps it will avoid ROM troubleshooting........
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sergio76:
The Team is still working on the fonts we are trying to get the best possible size and quality on them. If you want try to flash a Stock font on Rom then you see what we are going throw to get this fonts correct. Desire S Fonts are massive they are not the same size as the Desire HD (ttf files are same) the xmls have different values i corrected them on version 4.5 and 4.6 if im not mistaken was only those 2 versions but there was side effects on doing it from the xmls. If you are an expert try to get them done since its bothering you so much.
[HTC Inspire 4G] carmaruti:
HI

Hi Sergio

I am not an expert to do this hence completely dependent on your guys :)... In 5.0 Quality for the font on emails has definitely gone down as reported by 2 or more users. We can wait and will wait until you get this right, just wanted to make sure you hear about this so you can add to your TO DO LIST :)

Thanks for putting out excellent ROM's
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sergio76:

Went back to 4.0 from 5.0

Hi,

Thanks @California for your advice on ROM backup before upgrade to 5.0. Guess what I had to use it to go back to 4.9 :)... The font issue was really bother me as I do lot of emails and want my email client to look sleak... Another reason I went back to 4.9 was the right button issue, I like it the ways it on 4.9 opens up personal setting directly....

So far everthing seems to be working fine. One question I used restore from backup option in Rom Manager to downgrade to 4.9 (using backedup ROM). Did I do it right or should I use full wipe install 4.8 and the update patch to 4.9?

The phone is working just fine as it was before 5.0 upgrade I just want to make sure I followed the right procedure for downgrade....

Thanks
