I did some phoning round today.

Called Dixons first to be told they just had the 9th April listed and that there was nothing else goodbye.

I then called Motorola, the guy said he was expecting people calls for help today as he expected the product to of been launched on the previous Saturday (9th), asked what Motorola's official launch date for this tablet was but he couldn't give me one nor if the product had been shipped to distributors.

I moved on to call PCWorld to see if they had any in stock (I realise this is the same company but I want my Xoom!!), the person said yes, so I was like :eek: But he was just going off the website, the fact you could order it, so with this in mind I called back Dixons.

Was a different person at Dixons this time, she mentioned she asked HQ due to the amount of calls she has been getting over it, they are hoping for the stock to come in today (I called at lunchtime) but wasn't 100%.

She also told me that preordered were going to be dealt with first before giving the remaining stock to the shops so only preorder people will have it in their hands before anyone else.

acer honeycomb tab found at currys

This afternoon, I went to currys, hoping to get the xoom...it wasn't there, the staff I talked to had no idea what xoom is...but fortunately, there was acer's 10 inch honeycomb tab. played with it for a while...seems very smooth. however, there is no internet signal there, and I can't try those google apps, as it asked for my login which I certainly won't give out...anyway, it isn't too big, its price is around 450 (it says it has 3g, but I doubt it). Anyway, I will keep waiting for the xoom

btw, no all currys stores carry this
[Xoom General] culac:
I'm also waiting patiently for my pre-ordered Xoom from Dixons. Hope to see it this week.

In the meantime, here's something to keep you motivated to wait.

[Xoom General] akalias1981:
Just got off the phone from Dixons myself. I had it confirmed after explicitly asking the question several times, that Dixons do now physically have stock, and that preorders will be dispatched tomorrow, to be delivered either Wednesday or Thursday at the latest.

Frankly, I don't believe anything I get told anymore from any of the retailers or Motorola themselves. I can't understand how something so simple can be made such a mess, and why companies ever think telling customers nothing is better than telling them bad news.

Fingers crossed now anyway. Dixons can rest assured they will be getting several more calls from me tomorrow if I don't receive a dispatch email. Buying new tech is usually an exciting process for me. Moto and DSG have between them made this quite an unpleasant experience.
[Xoom General] braingravyuk:
That's good to hear! Had a try of the eee-pad tonight too, was really impressed, like the metal surround and the screen is very nice (IPS like the iPad), going to order one of those now, think I'll be exercising the long distance selling regulation on one of the tablets... hopefully the Xoom.. this whole experience has put me off Motorola.
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
Sad to see so many defections from the XOOM even before the damn thing is available for.me to buy and judge for myself. Either way, its the premium device.

Ill keep my preorder just because its the XOOM and any other HC tablet just wouldn't be the same to me.

[Xoom General] alias_neo:
Wifi or 3G?

Which device are you guys waiting on?

I'm waiting on the 3G from Carphone, at this rate I'll be getting it first.

They claim they'll have them by Friday to pick up in store on Tuesday.
[Xoom General] burden010:
I won't see mine for a while as I used a credit card. I'm less worried about that than actual delivery. As far as I'm concerned they could keep the £20 if I could get it today... or even an email saying it's going out today!
[Xoom General] footboydog:
I ordered mine from Currys on 3rd March. The £20 discount went back on my Visa credit card today but I have not had any emails about delivery. I am working from home today so I will post if it gets delivered (not holding my breath though).

Apple have a huge advantage with their own physical and web shops IMHO.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
my £20 went in to my account last night/this morning :)

now just need a xoom!
[Xoom General] j1mmyg88:
Same here :) woould just love to hear my front door knocking with a delivery guy and my xoom, now i know that aint never gonna happen today but one can dream
[Xoom General] burden010:
I guess it's the same old story. Because they control everything from production to point-of-sale they know exactly what's going on. Dixons obviously have to wait for Moto to get the gear to them so any delay on Moto's part will delay Dixons. I accept that.

What I can't accept is that there's no proper information out there as to why or for how long there is a delay. It's a big issue with me. Even bad news is better than nothing at all.
[Xoom General] Derentis:

[Xoom General] PsyMonkey:
Just got off the phone with Dixons and the story of the day is:

The have in stock and will start shipping today.

I really hope we get it before the weekend. Does anyone know if they are sending with DHL next day?
[Xoom General] j1mmyg88:
I reckon we will get it before the weekend, im hoping before friday as I am back to work then and that would be very annoying to have it delivered when im at work
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
that's what annoyed me anyway - they had on the site that deliver for 9th april - i should have known it was too good to be true
[Xoom General] j1mmyg88:
Yeah, me too, spesh as that date is my birthday, definitely too good to be true

Brand new A7. Flashed newest official eLocity firmware (now I realize I didn't need to do that), Wiped, then Installed DexMod v1.3 then BT Fix.

Android Market, after initially opening up and having me set things up, just force closes when I goto the Apps section. What can be done to resolve this or is this caused by DexMod and I should not install apps via the market?

Calendar FCs and YouTube just closes immediately without any message.
[A7 General] jtodaro:
Looks as if Calendar also FCs.

I had the same issue so i went to apps setting then manage apps then to the program that was fc i then cleared the data and restarted that program and it worked just fine. Hope that helps

Hey guys, does flashing .zip themes on xrecovery multiple times without full wipes cause a battery drain? My phone's battery life dies out faster with each theme I flashed. The only reason I did it was because the battery usage indicates that the display was using it up most of the time. But the length I used my phone each day has is kinda constant and my brightness is on 50%. Anyone can pinpoint the reason? On 2.2 with wolfbreak's CM Rom.
[General Questions and Answers] bella92108:
I want to listen to streaming air traffic control from Listen to Live ATC (Air Traffic Control) Communications | LiveATC.net but when I play a stream I can either play in vPlayer or Streaming Player, but both apps turn off the audio when I do anything else... kinda defeats the purpose if I can't stream in the background...

Why would Android package in "Streaming Audio" app if it doesn't multi-task? Do people really just stare at a black screen that says "Live" for hours without being able to do other things?!?!?

Anyone have any suggestions for me?
[General Questions and Answers] marlar:
Stream media player works fine in the background:

I am not allowed to insert links, but search for it in market.
[General Questions and Answers] bella92108:
This is for video from local sources... not applicable to my need for background streaming audio :-(
[General Questions and Answers] bella92108:
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I just played around with this app and it works PERFECTLY. :-)

Lets me stream in the background. I have asked this question no less than 10 times in 10 forums, and nobody has had an answer. Thank You!!!!!

The only thing I can't figure out now is how to turn it OFF, hehe.
[General Questions and Answers] marlar:
Then it was good I came along and saw your post.

I am only glad I could help you since I was in the same kinda desperate situation lately. I could listen to streaming audio with the built in media players and other from the market, but they all went to sleep when I backgrounded them. Pretty useless, as you have discovered!
[General Questions and Answers] bella92108:
Yeah, I agree, so strange they'd make a "Streaming Media" app when there's no way to stream without staring at a black screen. In several other threads people told me it wasn't possible in Android, but I assumed better so kept pushing, thanks again for saving my day :-)
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
I had a thought today about these "extended" batteries like the Andida that are supposedly rated at 1600 mA or larger.

What if it is not that the battery won't hold more charge, but that the chargers are limiting the battery to the same capacity as the OEM battery?

I mention this because I have three batteries, two Andida 1600, and my OEM. All three of them register at 12296 mA when fully charged. This is when charged via my external charger or charged by plugging in the serial port.

All of the external chargers are made for a specific model, what if they are programmed to stop charging at a specific mA?

Can someone with the Mugen and NRG ROM tell me what mA is listed in tBattery (tools folder) with a full charge?
[HD2 Accessories] Axel85:
Yeah i was thinking of this too... i would like to try a direct battery charger,like the chinese one where you have to move the pins to meet the battery contacts and an andida battery...Maybe with those universal battery charger we can go over the 1200mah of the original one
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
I HAVE a Chinese charger, although one does not have to bend any pins. But it was made for the HD2, and these things have circuitry inside them to prevent over charging. I just don't know if the same circuits are stopping the charger at the "normal" charge level.
[HD2 Accessories] Mister B:
For Li-ion and NiMH batteries, once battery is close to fully charged the the charging voltage decreases, which indicates to an intelligent charger that the battery is fully charged.

So basically the charger has no data regarding battery Mah size, the charger keeps inputting until it registers a specific change in input voltage drop.

All the standard sized batteries listed as 1600Mah are fake, end of story. tbattery ain't the one lying.
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
Thanks for the explanation. So the electronics for overvoltage protection are in the battery?

RE: 1600 batteries. Well, they do make adequate replacements for the standard OEM battery, but yes, they do not reach their advertised capacities.
[HD2 Accessories] Mister B:
Overcharge is monitored via battery temp sensor & bat has protection circuit.

Andida 1600mah is ok as standard replacement but they will not last as many charge cycles as a quality brand replacement or OEM bat.

TO_install_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Ubuntu,_a_Step-by-Step_Guide

NOTE: I have not tried it. You are in the DEV section, any mod attempts that YOU make to YOUR phone are YOUR own responsibility.

So it probably has not been attempted.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] dicksteele:
I tried a couple of steps too, dependency hell. Not sure if it will be figured out in DEV section since it's more of an app thing.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] the2dcour:
You would need an x86 emulator or VM to run this I believe as it is only coded for x86. Running it through an emulator would be slow and unreliable or just plain broken most likely. Not to discourage anyone from trying.

XBMC Official Hardware Support List

Asking for a port of it would go in XBMC dev forums ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zanzee:
Nope I've seen XBMC running on a beagleboard native, As well it ran very well. We have 2x the ram and 400mhz x2 more speed. So it should run.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] brunnogama:
I downloaded the XBMC through official site and one of the Readme file (README.armel) talks:

"

This is a port of XBMC for use on ARM Architecture.

As this is not an official version of XBMC, in-depth testing on various setups has not been done. USE WITH CAUTION!

For the purpose of this port, the following Hardware and Software was used.

Software: Scratchbox (cross-compiler) on a Linux (Ubuntu) machine.

Hardware: BeagleBoard (ARM Cortex-A8 with IMG POWERVR SGX).

The source code is based on XBMC for Linux - version 9.11 (Camelot)."

So, I think its possible to run on Atrix, correct? But I have to do a lot of hard things to try it and I´m not able to do it, but it´s a good news.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dicksteele:

Takes awhile.

Step 3: After synaptic installs, run it from inside the same xterm window you installed in. This is the DEBIAN linux install on your sdcard-ext.

Add

deb ftp://ftp.debian-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free

and

as repositories.

One of them *****es about key. No worries, the other one works. RELOAD to read additions.
