It's amazing to me that people knowingly assume the role of early adoptor, and don't expect issues. It's part of the process. You can gather from these boards what the general experience is: a pleasant work in progress that needs some apps and a little polish. If your experience is wildly different, it's either a faulty Xoom or you shouldn't buy the flagship device for a very new OS. You also might not know how to get the most out of this thing.

Nobody makes an issue out of the Facebook widget because.... it's a Facebook widget. If you that falls into "things you can't live without it until 3.01", then take the Xoom back.
[Xoom General] lanternca:
the price of the device has nothing to do with whether a third party widget designed for a phone should work or not. if this is your only problem, i'd say the xoom's a winner.

To the OP, my biggest problems are FC's of the browser. It used to crash every 5 minutes. I rebooted, and for me, that solved the problem. knock on wood, but no FC of the browser in a day.
[Xoom General] tlogank:
I have to say...I'm surprised at how much I like my xoom. I think you just got a bad model perhaps.
[Xoom General] angermeans:
I think some people expect way to much. Everyone on this forum should know the meaning of "early adopter" (**** look at the nexus on and still that is the best phone I have ever owned). Not just that but all I hear is a bunch of *****ing and moaning over the Xoom. It either costs too much or some other whining. I love it and I can't put it down and compared to the hundreds if reviews I read I figured that hneycomb was horrible but it is actually running pretty well on mine. I mean I get the occasional force close but god its a .0 release and its the first of its class. If a widget doesn't work blame Facebook (or any other 3rd party developer) if anyone thinks the samsung 10.1 will be better theyre in for a rude awakening.
[Xoom General] Sto_Padrone:
I have heard that the Xoom works better with a restart after the intitial one. Don't have mine yet to test, but you could always try.
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
I addressed you in another thread but would like to use this thread since you started it to gather data. Would you kindly provide a list of the apps/widgets that FC when you try to use them? I would like to install one or two here and see if the same results happen. The next step of that process is to contact those developers and ask them if they would be willing to update their software to support the 3.0 Framework.
[Xoom General] Stone 13:
Agreed, I love my Xoom. It does everything I need it to do and then some. I travel frequently and just the fact that I no longer have to use my laptop while sitting in airports or coffee shops justifies my purchase. I think many people came in with expectations that were waaay too high for this class of device. Excellent battery life, email and web browsing on the go plus all of my ebooks in one place for easy access are all that I asked for. Video could be better but not as bad as ppl are making it out to be. Could Gingerbread and the Xoom both be better? Absolutely, but neither is bad by any stretch of the imagination. I think alot of people were expecting netbook power and functionality in tablet form, but you certainly don't get that with any of the other competing tablets out there so why hold the Xoom to such a high standard? I'll be keeping mine until the quad core processors are out and we see a major jump in screen resolution, but for now, I'm completely satisfied with my purchase. I think the Xoom is amazing considering it has the processing power of full size laptops out only a few short years ago...
[Xoom General] codeman05:
well put sir
[Xoom General] jmc2543:
@theahlenius I was waiting for someone to say something along these lines. It is fair to say that for the average consumer this device is not fully ready to be put out. The norm is to only put a device on the market after it is fully ready to be released, welcome to the world of beta (the device is further than beta but still just like beta there can be quirks with a new os and lack of app support.) But I do have a few things that I want to say, 1) it was known that there was going to be things not working, ie the sdcard, flash, and that 4g was upgradeable( the lte network is still new they are still running tests on the thing with real world traffic use, give it time. you realize the crap that could go wrong releaseing a device like this on to a new network without testing its capabilities first *shivers*). Then there are people complaining about apps not working, ITS A NEW OS, The sdk that enables dev's to optimize their apps for tablets hasn't been out that long. Again it takes time, and the dev's haven't had time to make changes and fix any issues. I as well am getting the issue with the facebook app, thats about the only one, its expected though as it was built on 2.2 sdk and not 3.0 or 2.3.3. Guys really if you dont expect issues being a early release adopter return your Xoom and go get a controlled experience where Apple will hold your hand iPad.
[Xoom General] Arun01:
I love my Xoom & I take it with me everywhere so I can show it off too & people are in awe of it...I know no tablet that can compare to it.too my dell streak 7 back & got this & so glad I did.This thing just works with no lags!! My ipod collects a lot of dust too now.
[Xoom General] ryan562:
the xoom isn't perfect but yes we are early adopters. just like the nexus one and now the nexus s when they first came out, there are sure to be problems.

be patient, keep up to date on these forums, and the fixes and patches should roll out via google/moto or here on xda.

aside from all the problems that my xoom is having (random force closes, lag here and there), i'm enjoying this device. just rooted it and not sure if i want to take the plunge in to overclocking. don't feel as safe in doing it vs. my nexus s and dell streak since i dished out a crapload of money on it lol.
[Xoom General] El Daddy:
The Xoom doesn't come with the Power Control Widget. I really like the customizable one in CM7.

I found the location on the Cyanogen Mod github but I have no idea how to compile it or if it will even work on Honeycomb. https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Settings/tree/gingerbread/src/com/android/settings/widget/buttons

Anyone out there have any experience with compiling from CM's source?

If we could get this working on the Xoom it would be great!
[Galaxy 3 General] amm2:
I just installed froyo JPF on my galaxy 3.

I installed update.zip on /sdcard/ to try and root my phone.

No mather what key combo i try (except for volume+home) it just boots as normal and doesn't offer to install the update.zip

Did i do anything wrong when installing froyo ?
[Galaxy 3 General] IonAphis:
Try flashing... seems like a much more tidy choice..

When you install Windows 7, don't you prefer doing a clean install, or do you just upgrade from a buggy and slow vista?

Been having this problem since I rooted and installed the latest CWM recovery via rom manager. I'm currently on cm 7 rc1 if that helps
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proxin:
It's more of a "feature" than an issue I believe. Could be wrong.

I don't prefer it either, I would try another rom to see if it happens on there as well.

[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
Hey all, from what I see, the DS7 on many reviews runs alot of battery draining apps. Was thinking about installing my Taskiller pro on it if others would say its good on a tablet. I know On my HD2 android mode and G1 it works nicely. But on a tablet, I feel its a whole new ballgame and I dont wish to use something that may be worse off. Anyone using any sort of task killer app? Hows it working out? (Cause I do notice with the DS7, it leaves ALOT of apps open in the background when you go away from it, least on the G1 it closed it out)
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
Power manager task master and juice defender. I get about 6-7 hours. Surfing Facebook and texting.
[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
Whats Juice defender like?

Also thanks for letting me know Power manager works! I have the pro version from G1. Good! That means 2 of my fav apps will cross over to tablet. =D

Edit: Btw using SetCPU? It works but I am not sure what good profile setup would be.

Edit 2: Power manager pro been abandoned?? You using the same one? Or a diff one?
[Dell Streak 7] epakrat75:
I haven't had the device more than a couple days but I'm thinking the battery drain might have a lot to do with the 4G radio. By comparision battery used by the apps running in the background might be insignificant? Have you tested out the battery life with the 4G radio turned out, WiFI only?

Anyway, many task killers don't function 2.2 Froyo. They can be dangerous and are often unnecessary with Android handles memory. However, "Go Launcher EX" contains a nice safe, 2.2 compatible one that you can access from it's tabbed App Drawer. Perhaps that's what you want?

If not, take a look at this post as well...

[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
I turn my 4g radio off since I don't have a data plan and just use my mytouch 4g as a hotspot and connect via wifi. With setcpu I have it min 216 max 1000. I also have a screen off profile that sets the min/max to 216 when the screen is off. I'm using advanced task killer to kill stuff as well when the screen is off which I don't do on my phone but feel like it doesn't really matter on my tablet. I also use super power manager to turn off/on wifi when my screen is off/on.

I'm getting pretty decent battery life with medium usage.
[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
Nice rundown! Thanks. =D More info we have the better we all can make of this battery life. Now I do use 4g data plan. So I guess Ill have to fiddle around there. I wish I knew how many mhz it was already using when the screen is off.
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
super power also can control the data connection. So you can turn off the radios when the screen is off. True you wont get emails etc while the screen is off but as soon as it turns on it will enable your data connection and then pull your email etc.. anyway.

I get all my email to my phone so I dont need an "always" on connection with my ds7. The thing that sucks though is I cant be logged into facebook on both devices at the same time. If I'm logged in through my mytouch 4g and I open fb on my DS7 I will get errors. I can only be logged into fb on one device at a time. Now I just use my phone for FB and dont even bother using my streak for that.
[Dell Streak 7] groves226:
Task killers ans Android are morehl harm then good. Look at your running apps and figure out which ones are necessary and remove or disable the rest.

hmmm I turned off the radios and watched 2 movies w/o charging. I think what we have here is a case of ipad trolls... I like my DS7. You cant has one :op

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackal992:
Hi. As many of you I am undecided between the Desire HD and Galaxy S. I'd like to have some advices from you....these are my doubts:

1)there will be more rom support in future (both official producer roms and xda roms) for dhd or sgs? i know...it's difficult to say now, but If you see the number of threads of desire hd is a lot lower than sgs one, even if dhd is newer. This is a negative sign for dhd...

2)SGS has a more powerful GPU, but really in games and normal use there aren't great differences, rather sometimes dhd seems to be faster. Then shouldn't be so important to have the Hummingbird. Is this correct?

3)And even from the point of view of hardware...according to you what's the more interessant compromise between:

SGS: bluetooth 3, 6 axis accelerometer, front camera, superamoled, better battery, tv out

vs

DHD: faster 3G connection, dual flash led, 8 mp camera, more ram, dolby and srs, 4,3", better build material?? (are you sure that dhd lacks of 6 axis accelerometer?)

5)According to me samsung problems about gps and performance (without lag fix) are a very negative thing, because to use sgs performances i'm obliged to root the phone, to install the lag fix and others fix. Instead a positive thing for SGS is that maybe when nexus s comes out users could exploit its rom even for the galaxy, i think that the porting of that os should be easy saw that the hardware is the same.

6)However both htc and samsung announced that there will be the update to gingerbread...or not?

Then according to you what's the best compromise?dhd or sgs?

Sorry for my bad english. Thank you very much

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Born2BeMild:
I used the Odin3 One Click to flash my phone, at first I had to pull the battery and try again, and when I did, it worked. The phone tried to boot up, but is now looping at the boot screen, it shows AT&T, blacks out, and back. I tried going into download mode with the two different key combinations since they worked before, but now either give me the grey battery charging screen when it's off and it's plugged in, or again on the AT&T screen.

I was running 2.2, I had upgrated from 2.1 with root access. it's the I897 Captivate, and it's just that I am now left at blinking screens of either AT&T or battery charging.

Trying hard to get used to the 16x9. Also, the weight of it at times I really notice after holding it in bed for a decent amount of time. Also the fact I did not get a data plan and it cost me $853. When I know a wifi only version is coming out that will be quite a bit cheaper. Honeycomb is taking some time to get used to. There aren't many apps for it, so I find myself getting bored. All i seem to be doing with it is web and facebook stuff. I think may return for ipad 2.
[Xoom General] Trav29:
Of course it's gonna take some getting used to its a new OS. Obviously there aren't gonna be many apps, as it just came out a week ago.
[Xoom General] njblackberry:
Sitting here looking at an iPad, a Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Xoom.

Xoom is a bit too bulky. Love the screen size. Waiting for some more apps (I know it just came out, but there are apps on the Galaxy Tab that I want on the Xoom).

Not sure the Xoom is hanging around.
[Xoom General] EVOme:
mine is going back for sure
[Xoom General] clandest:
then take it back. What makes people think that we care if you choose so and so over something else. You know what you want so get it. Xoom isn't cutting for you then get something you wwill be happy with. No nneed to share with everyone.
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
I hope HTC makes a large Honeycomb tablet. I completely ignored them after the release of the HTC Flyer because I didn't appreciate the screen size, and it didn't run Honeycomb. However it was beautiful, and even had a unibody design. The Flyer was definitely a nicely designed tablet, and I do want to see what HTC does with a larger device.

They seem to be the only company that creates Android products (well, Motorola too) that focuses heavily on build quality and design. I assume if they made a larger Honeycomb tablet it would actually look up-to-par with an iPad. The silver Xoom somewhat does. This post is somewhat entirely irrelevant =/
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
the Xoom is supposed to be a media powerhouse. Which is why the screen is so big. It is a bit heavy, but it hasn't botherd me that much in this last week.

My girlfriend said if I return mine I can go to sunfest in florida next month. Sunfest is going to be awesome with lots of big names including sublime with Rome and ziggy marley. I am 1200 miles away from west palm beach where it will be held. I want to go so bad.

I am not returning my Xoom.

For anyone complaining about it I can see your reasons. I really can. But these were all issues I knew before spending 800$ on it. I knew these issues because I spent lots of Time thinking about it and evaluating my options before I payed almost 900 for it.

If you did not do this you are a fool for spending that amount of money without allowing your brain to process information beforehand.

Someone remind me how many apps were on ios when the iPhone launched please.

Great, since you are both getting rid of your Xooms you can go to a different XDA forum now. Yay.
[Xoom General] theahlenius:
Is there any reason why this couldn't have gone into the other threads like this? I don't know why the 6 (yes, random number) people with the same nit-picky issues can't hold each other's hand through the return process in the same thread. It's not even buyer's remorse. It's not being able to put your finger on what you want upfront, and faulting the thing you bought for being the way it's clearly advertised.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
They have to let everyone know they are returning it.

HEY GUYS I DON'T LIKE THE XOOM, I AM RETURNING IT OKAY. I'LL COME BACK EVERY NOW AND THEN TO TELL YOU WHY I TOOK IT BACK.
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
I think these types of threads are stupid.

Anyone who would return their Xoom because someone else doesn't like is an idiot. Now if you are trying to get more information because maybe you don't understand how a the platform works that is different.

So if you want us to help you understand how Honeycomb and the Moto Xoom work that's great. On the other hand if you just don't like it no one really cares. The only person I need to like my Xoom is me and maybe my girlfriend.
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
Complaining about how people post their complaints won't do any good. They will post it regardless... you might as well ignore it and move on. If I actually had a Xoom and didn't like it, I would sure as hell post in a thread (maybe not a new one) exactly why I don't like it.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
All that I'm afraid of is that the Honeycomb OS itself will never make it past the "nice-try" stage. I love the Xoom so far but it IS a risky business right now. I am convinced that other HC tablets will push the demand for apps and updated software but can "we" win the fight? The only time I would be sorry to have purchased the Xoom is when support for it stops and it becomes an orphan. Other than that - still have to break the news to my wifey :D
