Yes, you can odin back to stock from any ver. That is actually what everyone does when they run into trouble in order to start over and fresh. Also, you can easily root 2.2 now, you don't have to waste 15-20 min.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaliscojorge:
I've been searching threads for rooting 2.2 but haven't found one as simple as the update.zip file I used to root my vibrant and family members vibrants as well. Could you at least give me the name of the app or link to the thread you are referring to? That would be very much appreciated. But if I do get a used phone I think using Odin to get back to ji6 at least would be a good thing to do anyway since you never know what could have been done to the phone by prior users. I haven't searched for odin files for 2.2, but if they are available and rooting it is as simple as you say I guess that would be an option as well.

[Android Themes] jadesdan:
So I've set up a spreadsheet to do all this work for me. basically I enter in minimal data, eg clients name and the package they ordered, andy auto fills all of the related expenses and ordering needs, as well as remaining balances. what I'm looking for is an app I can read this information from the spreadsheet and display it better. or an app that I can put all this information into. I'vel try a couple different database apps, but those are mostly for making lists. does anyone know something that would fit the bill?

-OR-

would it be possible to create this in google app inventor? Thanks. ___________
[Android Themes] ebichuman:
If you're looking for something that can open and edit spreadsheets you might want to check out Quick Office. I'm fairly certain it can do both.
[Android Themes] jadesdan:
Thank you for your response. I have quick office and that's what I'm currently. I'm hoping to find (or create) an app that uses the data from a xls (or similar form) on the back end, but has a pretty and mobile friendly gui on the front.

[Xoom General] android_geoff:
I bought my xoom on launch day and love it but on the left side next to the volume buttons i get a creak sound and a loose feeling like the back cover is loose its right under the volume down button

i looked it up on google and saw someone else have the same problem but im not sure if i get another if its gonna feel the same way
[Xoom General] kjdocs:
Mine is solid as a rock. I would take it back.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
I didn't notice having a problem with this either but I'll be double checking it tonight..=)
[Xoom General] angryclubs:
No such thing with mine.
[Xoom General] android_geoff:
its right where the back cover and edge of screen meet on the side with volume buttons

i bought it from best buy and there out of stock so i need to wait. luckily i have a 45 day return policy on it
[Xoom General] ArXane:
nothing wrong with mine. Very solid
[Xoom General] Procinctu:
Swap it out. I just checked mine and it is clean and tight.
[Xoom General] keitht:
No such issue here. Go check a demo unit to compare. I think you need to return it.
[Xoom General] ilogik:
Plastic on top bends and creeks on mine...
[Xoom General] eallan:
Saw this in a search, same problem here. Is this really not a common issue? It's terrible when you pick up your $800 tablet and it makes an awful noise like it's going to break.
[Xoom General] burden010:
Just got mine out my bag to check but it's solid.
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
Noticed a gap in mine today before seeing this thread. What bothers me most is the creak/crack if I press a particular part of the screen. (Jump button in Cordy) .
[Xoom General] eallan:
The creak is absolutely annoying.

I think i may just buy a transformer and take the xoom back and save $400.

Sigh.
[Xoom General] bossjeeves:
i have also noticed mine has started doing this...
[Xoom General] subminimal:
I know mine has made this noise before but it comes and goes. Its a bit annoying but doesn't seem to be consistently happening.
[Xoom General] eallan:
If you find the area, you won't be able to ignore it.

Try this: Go to the metal part on the left side where it starts below the volume/plastic, put your thumb on the edge and "pry" that area away from the glass (towards the back) report back with noise.
[Xoom General] subminimal:
Turns out it didn't matter. I ended up taking my wifi xoom back and exchanged it for another one. My original started showing dust under the screen! Looked on here and seems to be one of many occurrences...
[Xoom General] TheWh0leTruth:
Mine also!
[Xoom General] eallan:
Nice, my power button only works 1/3 of the time at the most, so it's likely getting exchanged anyway, maybe returned.
[Xoom General] bd85:
Same here creak/crack from left side,
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
guys i was trying to see if i could get mine to squeak or groan so I took my xoom between my hands and gave it a good twist from side to side and the damn thing broke.

now what.
[Xoom General] eallan:
I'd probably have a good solid cry.
[Xoom General] atoy74:
Nothing here. As solid as day one (I got mine on launch day too.)
[Xoom General] android_geoff:
I returned it for a new one and I've had no problems with my new xoom.

Maybe since I bought mine launch day they have since fixed the problem

I noticed that the motorola xoom portfolio case might have caused it because when you pull the xoom to setup at an angle or pull it from the case you put stress on the back
[Xoom General] jediman:
Mine is over the 14 day return time frame to staples, but in any event, I bought mine the friday prior to launch day and I did notice that, mostly on the right hand side of the screen, the LCD does that liquidy thing when you press hard on an LCD screen..but only if you tap it slightly harder than normal. Is that fairly common/normal? I'd wager to say no, but who the hell knows with MFG these days...
[Xoom General] Smokexz:
That's uh... kinda normal... it's how the majority of tablet touch screens work, if you apply too much pressure on the touch screen computer my brother owns, you will see the same thing

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom General] ninjalex76:
No problems here

My Xoom has no separation issues. I use the portfolio case frequently also, with a lot of taking it out and putting it back in so that doesn't seem to be loosening it.

Also, pressing hard and it doing the liquidy thing is indeed normal, they don't call it a liquid crystal display for nothing. Brotip: don't press that hard!
[Xoom General] fsunoles157:
I just sent my xoom to motor to fix it along with reboots under warranty

[Xoom General] Smokexz:
I also have this issue, it's surprisingly common, I don't hear a cresking noise though.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom General] jediman:
No i know that. I don't mean like pounding on the thing, I mean like i go and give it a good tap...theres just one part of it on the right of the screen that seems to do it more so. I'd have to seriously press down on the screen elsewhere to get it to do it..not that I'm trying to be stupid to break it.

I first noticed it when tapping around with the stylus I bought for it.
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
XOOM build quality is epic. It's why I'm not spending less for Acer/Asus. Moto really did a good job here.
[Xoom General] eallan:
I don't know... I was impressed at first and not so much now.
[Xoom General] Smokexz:
I don't have that, been tapping on whits screens for a good minute( white screens are where it might be most noticeable) and I don't seem to get it, I have to tap pretty hard to get that. Could you maybe make a video showing this? It might explain it a little better.

[Xoom General] madj42:
Anyone notice the bottom-right corner has some play in it? I push on mine and you can feel it moving. A buddy of mine has the same issue. He bought his a week later from me.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
Weird? I have the portfolio case too. Take it out put it back quite often. The case just adds goodness to the thing. No harm.
[Xoom General] errevi:
Same here. Below volume buttons the back cover is moving....
[Xoom General] D1G1N1XY:
same here. I'm in Tokyo, can I send this to Motorola for replacement? Or do I have to deal with the online seller I bought it from?
[Xoom General] spirit32:
i have the same liquid thingy on the right side of the screen whe pressing hard. unlocking. the xoom is wonky too sometimes
[Xoom General] jonnypedantic:
My first Xoom had the creak and the "liquid" screen. I exchanged it, and the new one does not have these issues.
[Xoom General] airbillion:
Mine has a very little give if I press my lower right corner also. I wouldn't notice it though if I had not checked all my corners for looseness after reading this thread. Not an issue at all, its not like I would press the corner in that hard anyway. I think the xoom has the best build quality out of all the android tablets. I played with the Acer tablet at best buy today and I thought it looked and felt cheap and plasticky compared to the xoom.
[Xoom General] eallan:
I'm hoping the samsung tablet feels solid.
[Xoom General] gorgio1:
not on my xoom wifi.....
[Xoom General] wardo5757:
Mine is loose also, so is the small piece of plastic that covers the speaker and camera.
[Xoom General] qubz:
i noticed this today on the left side when pressing on the screen lightly, no harder than holding it in my left hand. It appears that the creaking comes from the lip of the back cover rubbing against the plastic linning that surrounds the screen. I can even see some movement of about half a milimetre.

I'm going to return mine for repair/replacement under warranty but I'm in Australia so its going to take a while for the round trip to the US and back. I guess that it was one of the first batches cause I got it preordered. Hopefully Moto fixed this defect in the more recent models.
[Xoom General] joe85:
I just noticed this on mine. I got my Xoom on the 10th and I am fairly confident that this is happening on all Xooms. Some people probably just don't notice it, it is kind of subtle. But then once you've noticed it, you'll hear it every time it flexes and creaks. It is really sad that the build quality is so poor considering how expensive this tablet is.
[Xoom General] jiwengang:
Mine feels like a Solid German Made Machine Gun!
[Xoom General] patass:
yeah mine's still totally fine
[Xoom General] romdroid.:

[Xoom General] rubber guard:

[Fascinate General] ezas:
Development is easy as is Themes and Apps. But the line between General and Q&A is hazy.

I think the things that need to be considered is what makes a question technical and what it a general question. Should ANY questions be in General or should all questions belong in Q&A and General be for news, announcements, opinions, sharing other resources, etc.

Otherwise I think the line between General and Q&A will remain hazy.
[Fascinate General] xHoLyx:
Definitely true statement you made it there. Mod gotta do something about it. General/Q&A is just messy.
[Fascinate General] ashasaur:
The point of the general forum is just that, general discussion, not questions. EVERY DAY people post Questions about CWM or Froyo in the General section, and things like that just need togo into the Q&A section.

Not to be a douche about it, but you all wanted a Q&A section, and I got it for you. So stop whining.
[Fascinate General] djblu:
If I might make an observation, suggestion, and offer a possible option fo resolution:

The basic procedural questions may be quelled if the there was a consolidation, collective update, and removal of outdated how to's in the forum all together. As questions are answered amidst the postings following the OP's, those tweaks, exceptions, or side steps, added would prevent new visitors from then repeating that same mistep, thereby causing that repeat posted question.

To further that, as procedures are refined and updated, older versions should be removed or directly notated as outdated with a current link to the most recent and up to date instructional set. I know that most of my confusion has stemmed from to many years in windows mobile mode, and then coming to android, which was greek to me initially. But it is that much harder to functionally self educate when presented with multitudes of outdated threads whith solutions hidden amidst the 1000 posts, only to discover that by the time I have read then entire thread, a newer version or instruction has been posted, and posted elsewhere.

I hope I am making sense, let me know if not. If there is any assistance I can provide in implementing a solution to the process of clarification within the forum I would he happy, and honored to help in any way I can. Thanks for the work you do here, I know I havent eve a fraction of understanding the multifaceted responsibilities involved with maintaining a forum, so I know you must be a busy person. Take care.
