I really think this is becoming a stupid argument. Please note, I do not own a Xoom nor an Ipad. I would love to have either at the moment, but it's not in the cards right now. With that said, the whole having to use a computer to turn on an iPad is a bunch of crap. You CAN turn your freaking iPad on without a computer, and you can even log into your iTunes account and start downloading stuff directly to your iPad.

You want something from your computer? Well, then you obviously need to connect your iPad to it and transfer it. People DON'T actually have to connect their devices in order to initialize them. My mother in law got a free iPad from work that she used for almost a year without ever syncing it to her computer. I finally helped her with it so she could update to the newest firmware. BIG DEAL.

The silly thing about this argument is that EVERY single person on these forums is a tech geek and definitely owns at least 1, if not a few computers. You CAN suck it up and connect your tablet for minor things. Trust me, no one here will be without a computer - whether it be a laptop or desktop - any time soon. The tablet was not designed to replace the computer for this crowd. For our parents? Yes, maybe. For us, no way.

i removed all 3rd party apps except for native applications preinstalled. didn't have any battery hogging apps, maybe CNN or USA Today app, but I just uninstalled it. i disabled access to mobile network, even though this device isn't activated. i'm gonna keep track of how batt life lasts, see if that made a difference.

i set it to 50%. 50% brightness is the standard I use when testing batt life.
[Xoom General] slshults:
There are a number of apps on the market that can show you battery usage by app. haven't tried any of them yet because my battery life is so far incredible, but it might be worth your while to try a few out and see if any of them are working right for honeycomb/xoom yet.
[Xoom General] sangreal06:
Well the Xoom has HDMI out, so the resolution of the screen isn't relevant. Second, the problem is many of us already have our libraries encoded in 1080p for playback on other devices and the limitations mean we have to go back and re-encode videos specifically for playback on the Xoom. The issue is convenience more than quality.
[Xoom General] opie2l:
You all are jokes!!! Just admit that it is BS that you can't just play a 720 mkv movie (and no I don't want to waste my time converting them too work.) This is supposed to be in newest and greatest.. FAIL .. oohh the xoom so powerful.. dual core blah blah blah. It is pretty sad to pay so much for what you get.

Im not a fanboy of either apple or android.. I hate apples business model and will never buy a apple product. But the build quality of there products are light years ahead of all others. I just wanted something to rub in my bros face but I don't think that day will ever come.

Oh and I also get force closes frequently.

Sorry for the little rant.. by the way I am keeping my xoom. ( apples build quality running android = dream)
[Xoom General] prometheus1010:
I'm also strongly considering returning my Xoom. I am confident most of honeycomb's bugs will get sorted in the next few months in a timely manner, but the quality of the screen is an issue that cannot be solved. This is obviously priced like a premium device, and the screen is simply not up to par. Viewing angles are weak and colors are very washed out. Blacks look terrible on this screen. I don't understand why moto would skimp on the singly most important piece of hardware. We'll see what the new Galaxy Tab looks like. Samsung usually uses top notch panels in their devices.

Foreclosures. haha great.. Friggin ios bores me to pieces. Its just one screen at a time.. Can you even transfer a file in the background while looking at a web page? I can usually be found switching between connectbot/pocketcloud and the browser.. But hey thats great.. high profile it away.. Technically the 1024x768 will be 1024x576 for a 1.77 AR movie... .. which makes the multimedia experience that much smaller.. lets speak in terms of screen size

at 4:3 the 9.7 inch ipad2 screen is 7.76x5.82

at 16:9 its 7.76x4.365

at 2.35:1 its 7.76x3.3

at 4:3 the 10.1 inch xoom screen is 7.137x5.353

at 16:10 its (default) 8.565x5.353

at 16:9 its 8.565x4.818

at 2.35:1 its 8.565x3.645

So the ipad2 is awesome for watching 4:3 movies.. With widescreen it looses just over 3/4 of an inch top and botttom..

did you factor that into your multimedia experience? shaving off 1.5 inches of the screen to watch modern movie formats.. nice

So do you just sit there flipping between screens all day long and not use the device for what it was intended for, running apps?
[Xoom General] android_master:
No i will simply use 4 ipod Touches,,expand them & it will form something equivalent to ipad Size,use a smartphone OS on a Tablet.How much this Womenizer OS has changed from 2007 to 2011.

Running angry birds,asphalt,do you know for how long ipad has been there & when actually zoom was launched.

The dumbness of Steve Crap Jobes lies in the simple fact when he actually showed in his usual crap keynotes the logo showing 65000 apps for ipad & 100 something on Honeycomb.Do they even know 9-10months advantages ipad has in terms of Apps & only Apps.

Motorola Xoom thread in xda is actually the first & only thread where i am seeing so many ifans from past 2 weeks??

Why don't you go to iforums for that?

Again at last it always comes down to one's choice,there always a fanbase & sometimes that is justified,but seriously this is the only time in XDA when i am seeing so much ibase fanboys.

Isn't all these facts regarding apps/rendering & other things regarding Xoom{Android 3.0} already known.Why come & bash here when you can not even wait ?
[Xoom General] ilogik:
I don't think its a case of apple fanboys. I think its a case of people anticipating a great product and realizing that it really isn't living up to their expectations.

[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
it could be that or it could be your at the ground floor similar to initial launch of android since this is a ground up rework and it will take some time to max out the hardware with software updates. Lets not pretend that apple has had major omissions in their software only to eventually add them (MMS, copy&past) or not (flash support)

If you have a SSH term open and you want to use the browser for 5-10 minutes while something on the remote computer is running (compile, download, whatever) - and you want to listen to music that's stored remotely on the computer. Then you wish to initiate a RDP connection with another computer. Can you do that with out timing out your SSH client?

That's what makes it boring. WHen you have an idevice without apps downloaded from app store, what can you do with it? Not much. But even when it's loaded with full of apps, you don't get the pleasure flipping through each pages seeing different things. I admit I have done it. I've set up 7 different screens on my n1 and when I'm bored with all the apps, I'm just gonna pinch zoom to review the whole 7 pages then appriciate the beauty i have just created on MY VERY OWN phone.

I don't know what some of ya'll are smoking but I cannot put my Xoom down.

My GF has had an iPhone 3GS and 4, I was the one to do everything for it. I have always been impressed with the hardware but iOS.. where do I start???I currently have 5 android devices - Nexus S, Nexus One, Atrix 4G, G-Tablet, and the Xoom. Guess which one I use about 90% of the time?

Enjoy the iPad, it has lovely hardware but 3.0 just has me by the balls. I absolutely love the build quality and software on my Xoom. I think the main complainers are people that have no idea how to use Android, in which they're better off with the easy-to-learn iOS. Good riddance.
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
Loved the Xoom. iPad 2 just looks and feels better.. Man, my 720P videos come to life on the screen not sure why as Xoom has more pixels? Camera is bad but good recording. The weight difference is very noticeable.. Really concerned with resale value aswell.

Will be purchasing the WiFi Xoom.

I've had my xoom for 2 weeks now and I love it. I have it rooted and overclocked and my browser has never crashed as amatter of fact I don't think my xoom has ever forced closed. No way i would switch to a money pit like the ipad or ipad2.

Are you sure that after you enter the settings you are hitting the menu button and selecting save? Or are you simply hitting the back key after doing so?

If that's not the problem maybe your only options are factory reset or re-flashing firmware.

Hey Guys,

Added another video with further disassembly instruction to the first post. In case anyone needs help taking out the LCD and digitizer.

Hope it helps!

take care
[XPERIA X10 General] CAYCE_VII:
Digitizer

So, I cracked the glass on the housing of my X10 and was taking it apart to see if the LCD was okay. In the process of doing this i got to the fron housing/digitizer and from the guide that I read the digitizer is glued/double sided taped to the fron housing glass...anyway the guide said to heat the glass/digitizer to make removing it easier (so you dont have to buy another one) and while i was peeling it off, I ripped the ribbon cable for the digitizer. Now, I am looking on eBay for a white housing and black digitizer but a few of these auctions have a lens that is black with the white housing which is a little confusing to me now. So is the digitizer clear and on the back of this so called lens or what?

White Housing w/Black Lens

Black Digitizer

White Digitizer

So you think the digitizer is glued to the "lens" and nobody really goes through the trouble to remove them and just resell them as a black/white digitizer or is there a digitizer that you can just buy that would be clear or something that you would glue to the lens...

[XPERIA X10 General] Z3X:
There is a warranty stamp? I dismantled mine at one point and they took it back... the only thing the look for is the water damaged sticker
[XPERIA X10 General] CAYCE_VII:
yeah there is definitely no warranty stamp, and even if it did, once your warranty is over, it would be much cheaper just to buy the part and fix it yourself rather than pay someone to repair it.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike_52:
Two ways for you :

Installation instructions:

Using Root Explorer:

Mount your phone to your PC and place the bootanimation.zip file at the root of your sdcard. Then using Root Explorer navigate to your sdcard, long press on the bootanimation.zip file until a popup menu appears. Select "Move" or "Copy". Once you select one, "Paste" and "Cancel" buttons will appear near the bottom of your screen. Now, press the back button to move to the root of your file system. Then navigate to data/local/ and then press "Paste". You'll be prompted to overwrite the existing bootanimation.zip. Press "OK". Then reboot.

Using ADB:

Download the zip file and place it in the tools directory of the Android SDK. Mount your phone. Then using a command prompt on your PC "cd" to the Android/tools directory and type the command:

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

Hit enter, and once this command is done processing type reboot and hit enter.

No credit to me just copy paste from another site. Good luck and tell us if it's work !

Downgrade and root, then you have 1.32.405.6 stock ROM + root.

OR

Downgrade, root, s-off, and flash Raidroid Stockify series ROM, then you will have rooted 1.84 based stock ROM.

[Defy General] Gharwen:

he includes those tweaks and fixes in the new releases, so when you install the latest pays rom you get everything in the rom

That he include it is read in the thread, but this is not the question.

I want to know which kind of tweaks and fixes he did.

For example:

Improving radio reception could be a tweak or some kind of bug fixing...???

Update 30.03.2011

I guess I found the answere.

Due to the encrypted and signed bootloader is it not possible to modify the kernel, isn't it?

Therefore, anyone can't do system fixes and make a real custom ROM.

Am I right?
[HD2 General] KARMIK:
Im switching to nand rom,but my laptop will not huck up to my leo vire usb.....so is it poss to flash by bluetooth? Thanks ;)
[HD2 General] PoisonWolf:
OP,

I'm going to assume when you use the term NAND ROM, you're implying that you're trying to install Android onto your device.

Having said that, what do you mean exactly that your HD2 is not able to connect to your laptop?

Are you not able to get "USB" in the tri-colored screen when connecting your HD2 to your laptop? Or has your laptop busted all of its USB ports?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
If you mean your computer is not recognizing your HD2 while pluged in then this is fixable. If you are trying to flash a NAND Andriod ROM you need to hold down the power button as you turn on your HD2 until you see MAGLDR come up and then select NAND flasher then flash the ROM. You can not use the bootloder to flash a NAND Andriod ROM. Also the reason why your computer is not recognizing your HD2 in bootloader is when you installed MAGLDR to your HD2 it changed the drivers for your phone on the USB port you used to flash MAGLDR. So if you ever want to reflash a Wndows Mobile ROM you will have to use a different USB port or manually change the drivers on your USB port back to your stock drivers for your HD2. You can also try using anothet computer. If non of the above helps try anoyher USB cable yours could posibbly be faulty.
