[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Limited_One:
Have you tried using the phone with no sim card in... sounds odd, but seems to be working for me- no freezing while charging anymore and no restarting! Some sim cards apparently do this... so need to change the sim- try using the phone for a day with no sim, and if it fixes it, then it could be the problem!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] liscoe:
Very sympathetic, as this issue is proposed to replace ROM try.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cmarti:
Are you using the stock charger? I seen this problem when people use one of the third party USB wall chargers.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kkroo:
I do not think that it is related to the SIM card, more than it is to the radio itself. When my phone was in airplane mode when I had been travelling, I did not experience a freeze.

I am actually using the stock HD2 charger, or a USB cable directly to my PC.

I too have been plagued with this problem for the last week. Magldr 1.13 here
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] EWP000:
I have a Samsung Captivate running original Froyo but I think this issue is related to Android in general.

My phone in unlocked and I'm using it in Brazil, naturally not with AT&T.

No unofficial software is installed.

My issue is I don't have the "delivery report" option in message settings list, so I cannot set the phone to receive delivery reports when I send messages. This happens for SMS and MMS messages.

When I got this phone I kept the same simcard (line, plan, services and carrier). In my previous cell phone, it had this option which was set to enabled and used to work fine.

To re-check, I recently put my simcard in another phone and the option is there and works fine. So, the issue seems to be on the phone.

I've already tried Samsung support but it is completley useless!

I have already tried handcent, but delivery reports don't work very well.

I saw in XDA that there is a solution for Windows Mobile phones that consists in changing a value in the registry. Is there something similar for Android?

If not, is this related to the carrier or the phone/system ?

Regards,

Eduardo
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xchasa:
After messing around with different roms including stock beta Gingerbread, seearms gb, ultibread and all the darky versions for months on my Galaxy s, I used docs kitchen to make a js7 rom base. Found it very fast with voodoo enabled and no fc's or any problems for 2 days now.

So then I put my sim in my nexus one running official gingerbread and play around for a few hours. To tell the truth I could not wait to put sim back into the galaxy s.

Such a better experiance with better, yes better GPS and faster internet connections.

So maybe we should be happy with 2.2.1 js7 and just wait for official gb as the beta leak already has great features and official will rock, not to mention that the latest froyo has it all over the poor nexus one gb owners.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] a_sc:
I am searching for an rdp client that supports the resolution 240x320. I have tried zaDesktop and other clients but there it is only possible to select 320x240. The problem is that the application on the server has a fixed resolution of 240x320 and on devices with a higher resolution the application appears to small. Does someone know a rdp client with the 240x320?
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
I returned my Xoom yesterday to Best Buy( No Re-Stocking Fee) in Prep for the iPad2.

Sadly, the ONLY reason i'm returning is because of Tegra2 and it's depressing ability for High Profile video.

Kind of crazy all I really need is a great multimedia experience and my Xoom just wasn't it! So many foreclosure's if I have even 3-4 Tab's open in the browser.

I hope Moto/Google fixes this issue I have no problem buying one again in the future.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Bye! You really didn't need to start a separate thread for this.

Come back when you're tired of iOS.
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
Really? Would appreciate if non helpful replies be kept to themselve's as yours.

There will be no getting "tired" of iOS. I want a device that works.

When and if the Xoom will "Work" I will be back. Idc about what Operating System it carries. Android and iOS are both incredible.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
If all you want is high profile video, I hope you don't get a notifcation or 20 while watching all those videos. I hear iOS notifications are wonderful when you're trying to concentrate on one thing.
[Xoom General] jvs60:
If all you're concerned with is high profile video get an Archos 101, and you'll be fine
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
Owned 2 Archos products in my day.. Very mediocre cheap products compared to the rest. iPad 2 is my best bet for now. Obviously alot will hate on my decision but it's clearly the best "Tablet" as of now. Hopefully I will be able to re-enter the HoneyComb seen shortly as I love the potential.
[Xoom General] schnoz:
I like all mobile devices. I like android more-so than ios, but man - you are about as bad a fanboy of android as the fanboys for apple. That is not something you should be impressed by.

I'm pretty sure you can turn ios notifications off if you need to. BTW.
[Xoom General] tlogank:
Just curious (and I mean this in nicest way possible)...why did you find it necessary to create a thread just to tell us you are getting rid of your Xoom?
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
My Xoom never had any "foreclosure's" [sic].
[Xoom General] colbyb25:
Both my wife and I have the Xoom. And we rarely get force closes if at all. The video complaint I can kinda understand but:

A.) How many 1080p movies can you fit on a Xoom or any mobile device anyway

B.) I am super confident it will be taken care by a Dev or Google itself

I will never go back to ios. A screen full of icons is so 1990s :)

I do find it amusing you want "multitasking" and yet you go with the ipad 2. Irony!
[Xoom General] inrelief:
I wonder when all the apple fanboys will go back to whatever message board is most appropriate to talk about apple products....
[Xoom General] jnrandall:
I owned an iPad for 10 months. I got my Xoom on day 1. With all of the Xoom's temporary shortcomings, I'd pick it over the iPad any day. Personally I feel that the iPad 2 is a joke - definately not worth upgrading from iPad to iPad2. It's like when the iPhone 3g got upgraded to the 3gs. Laughable!
[Xoom General] burden010:
+1 explanation please.

Also, you complain about "non helpful" replies yet you started a whole "non helpful" thread. Where's the logic in that?

I wish people would realise that XDA forums are NOT for complaints.
[Xoom General] takkun1946:
You know apple fanboy == attention whore. :]
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
Because I love the community and I will no longer see you folks.
[Xoom General] gogol:
Strange, ...

Are you sure that iPad2 is capable of playing that H.264 High Profile?

Have you checked the official spec of iPad2?

http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/

Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

Nothing mentioned high profile ...
[Xoom General] wang1404:
I'm pretty sure he said multimedia man lol
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
A) Very True. But, I should be able to easily fit 720P video and/or be able to get software that can decode for me correct? Having to convert manually will never be a solution in 2011 for me to play on a Tablet.

B) This is Theory.

I do want to multi-task I actually sold my iPad for the Xoom; because I have all Android phones*.

I love the screen full of iCons once customized. I think this is also opinion. I love BOTH Android and iOS. But "Honeycomb" just isn't ready for the public. And we don't know how long untill we get updated officially. I root my device's but don't like to really tweak to much. So, even if a XDA hack solution is available I and the common folk won't use it.

The Xoom is sexy and I F*(&*(& Miss it like HELL right now!!!

But, I remember how easy it was to just upload a dam 720P Starcraft2 video from YouTube downloader.
[Xoom General] android_master:
Quite funny as to why you actually went for Xoom in first place?;)

Just read 1 of the article & it actually sums up entire Tablet war....

1)Various so called websites{Engadget--funded by Steve Restriction Jobs & others} complaints are glitches, battery life, and slowdowns. Yes, glitches and slowdowns are there. Do they ruin/hinder the experience at all? Heck no. People fail to realize that Android Honeycomb is a much more sophisticated interface than iOS. When you take into account everything Android does over iOS (widgets, customization, live wallpapers, true multitasking, better web browsing etc.), of course battery life and performance will take small hits. But in the grand scheme of things, Android has improved tenfold from Android 1.0 and performs amazingly well for everything it does. iOS is an app driven interface, which isn’t a bad thing, but the user has no freedom to customize the device to make it their own. The experience gets boring for someone who has used iDevices for a few years now. If you took a tech blogger’s iPad and compared it to a random 80-year old grandmother’s iPad, they would nearly look identical. But if you took my Xoom and compared it to anyone else’s in the world, I guarantee they would look completely different.

2)It isn’t fair to compare the performance of Android Honeycomb to iOS for previously stated reasons. I get a laugh when a tech journalist “compares” Android Honeycomb to iOS and says Honeycomb isn’t as fast and continues on to crown iOS/the iPad 2 like it’s perfect. Someone who reviews technology for a living should make it clear that Android has much more going on at any given time compared to iOS.

3)Another funny thing I see people say a lot is the Motorola Xoom/Android Honeycomb will never be as popular as the iPad 2/iOS. Uhh, okay? Why does it matter to YOU which one is more popular? Use both, see which one you like more, and go with it. Android Honeycomb will catch on and so will the Motorola Xoom. They aren’t aimed at the same audiences. Apple markets the iPad as this magical, cute, family friendly device while the Xoom is marketed as this totally bad ass, rugged machine that can turn into a spaceship if you try to grab it.

This guy has just summed up the entire Android 3.0 Honeycomb story.

iPad an oversized ipod Touch Tablet
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
I'm not a fanboy but can someone please explain to me why it's so difficult to play Video on this thing? Can someone also explain why the browser crashes? My device wasn't rooted but it would crash if it had to many tab's open and when I moved to quickly between them. Completely stock with only CNN tablet app installed.

What i'm saying is I paid 847$ for this. I expect it to just play the standard of HD Video. If it cannot handle this standard, you will have to decode the video specifically to this standard. Some as you see on the forums are still having this issue with certain solutions.

This iPad as a ex user didn't have these issues with video. So ofcourse the iPad2 will improve. BUT I feel the Xoom is better hardware so the problem is "how" long will the wait of fix be? I then see an Update that doesn't even list anything about Flash, SD Card Support, but a Time fix?
[Xoom General] gogol:
Yeah, but you still have not answered my question previously.

Are you sure that the iPad2 can play H.264 High Profile?

If you look into the official spec, you cant. It is limited to 720p Main Profile.

Oh and I hope you do understand about iTunes !

That's correct, the iTunes will CONVERT those 720p High Profile for you automatically and transfer to your iPad2 :P

See that? Conversion still be made ...
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
The reason that ARM processors can even play HD video is because they have hardwired decoding on the chip. For whatever reason the Tegra2 can't handle some of the features of H.264 that are in the high profile.

I re-encoded some high profile videos without those features and they look just as good. Sure it took a few hours (while I was sleeping) to encode the movies, but I am happy with the results. It would be nice to just throw any video on there, but I can make do.

There may be software in the future that can strip out the problem features in the video file before passing it to the hardware decoder, I don't know. I'm sure there will be streaming programs that will do it on the fly from the computer. I'm wiling to wait. Honestly I don't care about playing torrented videos that much. Google is coming out with a video service to match iTunes.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
That's if iTunes will even let you load in your favorite video formats. A lot of the time you have to side-step it.

iTunes is the worst feature of the iPad.
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
What your saying is what I don't agree with. Android 3.0 is better than iOS 4.3

Android 3.1 or 3.2 may be.

You will have to wait for an XDA solution in order for Flash, SD Support, better stability, etc. Untill Google officially launches a fix. The ONLY thing I was worried about is just how long untill that is. I want Apple, Blackberry, WebOS, and Android all to excel for competition.
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
I answered your question.

I am able to download every 720P video and throw it on my iPad and play through VLC. I just never had a problem to test and I don't own an iPad anymore if you read what I posted...

So yes it can play 720P and I never tried 1080P but my Xoom couldn't even handle the 720P video until I did some crazy magical manual conversion.
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
Your the man. And answered why I returned my Xoom.

"Sure it took a few hours"
[Xoom General] gogol:
Yes, but that the iTunes does the conversion :P :P
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
iTunes = iPad

Without iTunes iPad doesn't exist. So what are you trying to say?
[Xoom General] Digital Man:
Your sole complaint is the lack of high profile video.

And your solution is to trade one device that has poor multimedia capabilities for a second device that has poor multimedia capibilities?

Doesn't make much sense.

I considered the ipad2 for similiar reasons, but I have yet to learn of a solution that will allow me to throw a 720p mkv file on an ipad without re-encoding and watch it play.

So what do you gain?
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
I converted a 60 minute program in less than 40 minutes.

Computers are fast these days... amazing. If it's happening while I'm sleeping it could take 8 hours for all I care.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
This is a bad thing. You know how you didn't have to do anything to setup your xoom? When you get an iPad you are tethered to one computer, forever. Sync...sync...sync.... sure would be nice if I could move things wirelessly.

If you want to switch computers you lose ALL of your content.
[Xoom General] Just-in-time:
He is saying that just like you had to convert the movies for xoom you may have to do the same for itunes and the pad to work. And to answer as to why the browser crashes. It is a driver memory leak that was found in the open code google gave out just before the launch. Both google and Moto know about it and are fixing the leak. This mem leak may be in this small update we just got today. And to answer your question about the video play back. Its a brand new chip so yes there will be set backs that have to be fixed. All my videos i have were already in the right setting so no manual re-encoding for me. The reason the ipad has better video play back is look how long they already had that hardware out before they made the bigger iphone. As someone that works behind the curtain, and works with networks that have both mac and windows and some linux work stations i know that each has there ups and downs. But with the willingness to work with all of them you come to learn there are ways to get all of them doing what you want. The xoom will be like the ipad when it first hit. Some hated it some loved it. But look at it in the time it has been alive, its a whole different animal now as will the Xoom. I hope this helped in some way in not saying one is better then the other. But both have there reasons for being the amazing tech toys they are.
[Xoom General] gogol:
Your main reason about high profile issue is not valid :P

I think you just don't have Xoom and trolling in this forum.

Just sayin.
[Xoom General] inrelief:

[ten chars]
[Xoom General] burden010:
Here is the reason OP chose to trade the Xoom for an iPad. Yet the iPad can't just play high profile HD either, it needs to convert just like the Xoom does (at the moment). I'm sorry but I cannot find the logic in this argument.
[Xoom General] Eclair~:

[Xoom General] checkbox111:
That should take about 24hrs :D
[Xoom General] Lady756:
I didn't lose my content on my iPad when i got a new laptop. :confused:
[Xoom General] Low023:
I guess I dont totally understand the need to play video in 1080p (720p i understand) on the Xoom or the I pad when the screen resolution on both devices are not capable of it. The aspect ratio on the Xoom is far better then the 4:3 on the I pad though. I hate watching widescreen movies on my I pad because of all the black space on the top and bottom due to being the incorect aspect ratio for playing movies.

Small screens do not need 1080p. I can see "needing" higher Res on larger screens but I truly think this is a argument along the lines of " I want the more p's" catagory. Best of luck in 4:3 aspect ratio watchig 16:9 ratio movies with the black bars on the top and bottom.
[Xoom General] angermeans:
"Obviously alot will hate on my decision but it's clearly the best "Tablet" as of now."

This is nothing more than an opinion. I personally love the Xoom, and prefer a device that can be unlocked as there are a lot of exciting things going on outside of the ios boundaries. I wish you luck in your purchse the ipad is a great tablet I just refuse to own one. I will take the shortcomings of the Xoom and wait for the upgrades like 4G and expandable memory as you will never see that on the ipad. I really wanted to like the ipad 2 and was interested for a brief minute when I heard the rumor of 1ghz dual core (underclocked to 800 that is sad apple let us decide what we want), retina display, and more ram but once again apple puts out a .1 upgrade and calls it good. They will repeat history and android will surpass the ipad this year much like they did in 2010 with phoneS I thought they would have learned but, sadly no.

I have been waiting for a great tablet and although the Xoom has some bugs (as does every early product first to market) I enjoy having'an open sourced (and unlockable) OS built for tablets not just a giant iPod touch. I really thought apple would make some more changes in the os as their Cometitors are doing but, again sadly no. They refuse to see what the market is doing.

[Xoom General] fleon888:
I'm also returning my xoom, but I'm not yet decided on whether to exchange it for another xoom or just give up on it.

My xoom wouldn't boot up yesterday and, after a soft-reset, started up but just loops over and over on the boot animation until the battery runs out. Not a great sign. So I've got to take it back in any case. But, since we're talking about the xoom, here are the reasons I'm currently thinking about just getting a refund.

Updates. Let's face it, Android hasn't really been good about reliably getting updates. My Galaxy Tab? Zero in the time I've had it. Not a good sign. My Captivate? One- that didn't fix anything.

Screen. The xoom screen for a tablet is subpar. The contrast fades dramatically as you get even close to a 45 degree off-angle. I admit to being shocked by this- the Galaxy Tab seems far better. I mean, the whole device is a screen- this should be one of the the primary focuses for the device.

Apps. I don't mind that pre 3.0 apps have some issues. It's somewhat expected. But the browser FCs on me on sites like CNN? How is everyone else's honest experience on this? As stated above, it's a decent bet I have a bad device (or the update killed it). Anyone else seeing more than reasonable crashes?
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
You realize they released a xoom update yesterday right? It fixed a lot of things and for me the browser is much better.
[Xoom General] keitht:
The update notes only mentioned support for Flash and daylight savings time fix. What specific changes to the browser have you noticed specifically?
[Xoom General] Mydnightsorrow:
If the IPAD is a tablet COMPUTER why would I need another COMPUTER to use it?
[Xoom General] roberj13:
One thing I have to mention is as far as the updates you are receiving for your current devices I wouldn't lump in Android in that statement. Google doesn't update those devices. You need to blame Samsung mostly and the carrier as well for that. Google has been updating but you were left behind and will continue to stay behind because samsung has to integrate each android update with their touch wiz ui.

Contrast that to the nexus one and even droid one that have received countless updates. As far as force closes, I honestly haven experienced any at all since having the xoom but my usage might differ from yours.

I do agree with you however the screen could have been alot better in the contrast and viewing angle department.
[Xoom General] aohus:
my problem with the xoom thus far is the subpar battery life performance im getting out of it.

i've had the display on for 2hour and 13 minutes and i'm already at 65%. Something is wrong here...
[Xoom General] slshults:
Yeah, we're all so shocked.

Enjoy the walled garden behind the hipePad2.
[Xoom General] slshults:
something is very wrong. you probably loaded a battery hogging app. check the settings on the apps you have that ping the internet and if they let you set frequency, let them ping far less often. if you have an app that pings the internet but doesn't let you set the frequency or set it to not check uninstall it until the app learns to create apps for mobile devices.
