[Xoom General] AndroidFileHost:
its strange because I can get the tv to show the xoom sometimes but i get that test box floating around even tho i can see the image. so it works kindof. little zoomed in and no way to disable the test feature. Really sucks because that was one of the main reasons I liked the xoom so much. wanted to play my N64 emulator on my tv from my bed lol. Tv was free so cant complain i guess. Just need to save for a newer one.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Pretty sure the output is 720p. It doesn't upscale.. it chops off the bottom to fit 1280x720.

Just spent all my money on a HD projector and the xoom so might have to wait for the bedroom TV...wall to small for projector in bedroom so it goes it the media room. Just need a nice media server for it. Haven't found one I like yet
[Xoom General] Zammo76:
Ive been trying to do this too and have discovered why its not working. Basically the Xoom does not output the required 5 volts needed to project the signal through the DVI adapter and onto the monitor. The only way around this is to add the 5 volts the best way I can see to do this is to purchase this (or something similar, I'm pretty sure there is a US made equivalent):

I have motorola milestone with CM7 Ho!no mod RC3

i tried to connect with the phone to the bluetooth "Plantronics Explorer 210" and the phone doesnt find him

what can i do?

thx for the help!:)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] jarlaxlebaenre:
So I have a different problem. I'm using rooted Milestone with stock froyo 2.2.1 and connecting it to Nokia BH-503 bluetooth headset. I have no trouble connecting them, but sometimes despite being properly connected android music app plays music through phone speaker and not the headset. Turning off and on the headset works but I've never experienced that with my previous phone (Nokia E75).

What's more I can't fast forward and rewind the songs through headset either. Any ideas ?

Anyone have the shoutcast button show up in wimamp 1.0?

in the location where the shoutcast button should be:

i have a history button instead. the winamp blog mentions 'SHOUTcast is not currently supported on certain devices (e.g. Motorola DroidX). More specifically, SHOUTcast is not supported on devices that have implemented "PlayerDriver".'

Does the Epic implement PlayerDriver?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] s9ortner:
Works for me
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
no problems here either.

I used to always use winamp, until I found this music player:

http://www.gizmoninja.com/2011/01/2...tually-makes-blur-look-good-download-it-here/

It includes shoutcast, sound hound, and tune wiki. It's pretty excellent :)
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
^^Great find. The only thing missing is that it does not show the names of tracks that are playing in Shoutcast. But, you are correct - a great player, and only force closed once ;)
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
That's what the included sound hound is for :p
[Epic 4G General] edscholl:
bummer. uninstalled and reinstalled and i still have no shoutcast button. :(
[Epic 4G General] DiNoise:
same here, no shoutcast option in this new updated Winamp.

but even with beta version Shoutcast didnt work for me, just like any other galaxy s with any kinda froyo.

i guess ill try that leaked motorola player.
[Atrix 4G General] RPK925:
Before i even bought this phone i called att and asked point blank if i bought this phone would faster data speeds? The person "said" she looked at a map and said i was in hspda coverage speeds area. So i bought the attic about 10 days ago and since then I have gotten horrible data download speeds. I talked to att and even went into the store again asking about their supposed hspda/ higher data speed network, and got every response from " yourselves need to change to a 4g sim card", to "there is no point at all to buy a hspda/4g phone right no matter where you are". But iam getting pretty much the same data speeds as my tilt2. So the last time I went to the store they said that only the 4g phones, inspire, iphone 4, and the attic could get the higher hspda/4g data speeds, so I thought maybe it is guess worth it if later I will get higer data speeds, because it is a pretty nice phone, ill give it that. But I aS looking at the specs of the htc tilt 2, and it says it also supports HSPDA speeds. I think now I have pretty much heard every lie att can tell someone.!
[Atrix 4G General] leadguy68:
Spell check would have made that easier to read.
[Atrix 4G General] dlwoodjr:
I agree... I had a hard time trying to understand the OP...

That said, keep in mind that there are many factors that affect DL speeds... your location, the time of day, the alignment of Jupiter and Mars (LOL), etc... Also there is another post where ATT admits to having the HSUPA disabled right now and that they will turn it on in the future, whatever that means... Taking that into account, perhaps you're in an area where they are still attempting to upgrade HSDPA speeds and haven't even started the backhaul crap. I dunno.

If you aren't happy with the phone send it back before it's too late. If you are happy with it EXCEPT the DL speed, maybe its the phone... Do you have an ATT store you can go to and compare your unit with a display unit to determine? Take all this with a grain of salt; I'm usually full of it. Good luck.

[G Tablet General] raybert:
Hi,

My gtab has been running very well with vegan for a couple of months but two nights ago it crashed and now won't boot. I suspect that while using aldiko in bed, and resting the gtab on my body, I accidentally depressed the power button for a fairly long time and it shut down uncleanly.

When I try to boot I get the normal three splash screens (ViewSonic, g-tabdevs and >VEGAN-TAB), After the last one the screen blanks for a couple of seconds and then returns to the >VEGAN-TAB splash. Repeat ad infinitum.

Based on threads here, I tried several different things to recover but nothing has worked:

* Connected via USB MSD (via CW) to try to back-up my sdcard. Fedora sees the device and activates /dev/sdg but nothing can read it (even fdisk).

* Wipe cache and dalvik-cache.

* abd shell: /sdcard appear empty (it certainly was not before!); fdisk appears to show a valid FAT32 partition

* Ran backups with CW, which appeared to succeed, but /sdcard is still empty.

* Reformat sdcard. Unfortunately, I made an error at this point that may have doomed my recovery. I mistakenly used "Partition Internal SD Card", thinking that this was the correct thing to do. I immediately felt that something was wrong when I didn't get prompted for the size. This didn't fix it. I then tried "Partition SD Card" and got the expected prompts but this still didn't fix it.

I suspect my only recourse at this point is to re-flash but I'm hoping that some smart person here may be able to offer a better alternative.

Also, can anyone tell me what the effect of "Partition Internal SD Card" is (in terms of lost data)? What is the difference between "Internal SD Card" (/emmc?) and "SD Card" (/sdcard?)? Or is /emmc actually the external sdcard? (I was expecting /sdcard2?)

Thanks in advance for your help!

~ray

UPDATE: I just confirmed for myself that /sdcard is the external?! Does that mean that /emmc is the internal? Does the android shell re-mount these or something? I could've sworn that /sdcard was the internal. I may have lost my chance to take a backup because of this confusion. damn...

[G Tablet General] raybert:
Okay. Disappointing but not surprising.

Do I really have to go all the way back to stock? I was thinking that I only had to re-flash vegan...

Also, I'm still confused about what exactly happened here. Was it the power button snafu that killed the machine or was it something I did?

Also, I'd love it if someone could clear-up my confusion regarding /emmc, /sdcard, /sdcard2, "Internal SD Card", "SD Card", etc. I'm probably missing some basic info about the architecture of this thing.

Thanks!

[G Tablet General] raybert:
Hey... I just tried a factory reset from CW (figured I was hosed anyway) and it worked! I'm back. Of course, all my stuff is gone but I was expecting that anyway...
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
Awesome you got it back up. I set my tab in my school pack and it somehow was pressing the power button down intermittently as I was walking. Found mine bootlooping and hot as hell, probably had been doing it for an hour or more. Mine would boot to cwm so i formatted internal sd and then it would only blackscreen. Glad you worked it out. Its handy to know your way arround nvflash but its a steep learning curve.

[Xoom General] dudeimgeorge:
with motorola unrolling a 3.0.1 honeycomb update and flash now giving hardware acceleration, its safe to say xoom is slowly tapping into its potential..and theres more in store.

obviously the hardware thats promised but the performance gain is going to be great.

i guess im sounding like a fanboy when i say this but it really ticks me off to see the IPAD2 score on engadget and the xoom.

if they dont update xooms score as these updates come through and others (4g, micro sd slot, bigger **** in pants) i will have no choice but to eat a great nyc steak medium rare with a nice cold beer after work.
[Xoom General] inrelief:
Dude, get the steak anyways! Substitute the beer for a scotch and you're all set!
[Xoom General] Botero:
Personally, I'm going to go with a ginger seitan taco and a tequila/mezcal old fashioned.
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
FACT - Chuck Norris owns a XOOM and gives it three thumbs up!

Seriously, though. I doubt they'll change their score. Did you read the iPad 2 review they did. He said "iPad 2 isn't just the BEST tablet. It's the ONLY tablet on the market."

Bah! :mad:
[Xoom General] DroidzFX:
Engadget is useless anyways. Who cares what they rated the Xoom. Their reviews hardly ever offer any unbiased information.
[Xoom General] burden010:
I like Engadget but there's no denying that they have an Apple bias. That's fine, as long as I like the device I couldn't care less what any fanbois think.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
I dropped engadget from my feeds after that line.
[Xoom General] JFMFT:
I only read engadget for breaking news, etc. I've found their reviews are extremely opinionated and biased and so I don't bother to read them anymore. They always say Android is good but not great, that it's half-baked and not where it should be, and they always give the iPhone and other Apple products (like the insanely overpriced Macbook) the highest reviews and hardly fault them for anything. To say the least, I find that kind of thing annoying coming from one of the most popular blogs on the web. They call themselves journalists but I'm not sure I believe that...

I will say I do still read reviews done by Chris Ziegler. He uses Android phones daily and doesn't own an iPhone, so unlike Joshua Topolsky, I rarely find Apple bias within Chris's reviews. But Josh does most of the big profile reviews (Xoom, etc.) and so I don't read those done by him. I know what I'm going to find were I to click into the review: an unfiltered display of Josh's love for all things Apple. And he ends every review the same way: "(insert apple product name here) is the single best (insert device category, i.e. phone or tablet) on the market today."

Reviews are mostly just opinion most of the time anyway, so I don't think I'm missing much. If an Android product has a big enough flaw to not be worth buying, I'll find that out before a review would be posted anyway.
[Xoom General] dudeimgeorge:
so true, i love engadget on everything except apple. its boggles my mind how biased they can be, its just not right. ars technica is so good with proper technology reviews.

my theory also is because of the massssiivvee ipad infactuation, this leads to a slow down on technological innovation, really. Paying high amounts of money for standard tech specs (namely their laptop products) and ipad as well (ram, cpu)

anyways, i dont want to sway too far into this flame ****, people like how it looks and thats its highest value. Bleh

Ill probably have a single malth scotch then.
[Xoom General] droidtacular:
Updated reviews would be nice, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I will say that if Motorola is able to get out some significant fixes before the WiFi-only version of the Xoom drops, like Flash support (3/18 woohoo!), then hopefully people would just simply do a review of the WiFi-only version and then say that all this also applies to the 3G version that was available initially. Motorola does need to get their marketing act together as you don't often (if ever) get a second chance to make a first impression. I would love to see a Xoom commercial that copied a bit from the iThing commercials where they simply show the apps. For the average user, showing that Android has a lot of the apps that they want will do way more than implying that your tablet can turn into a space ship... :D
[Xoom General] jvs60:
I just did the same. ****'em
[Xoom General] Xezuka:
Reviews are too biased with them... replaced my feed a while back. :-P
[Xoom General] aohus:
engadget is known to have an apple bias. joshua topolsky even wrote an editorial just praising apple paragraph after paragraph.

but i'm starting to think they do it on purpose to generate more page views. seriously. most engadget readers are anti apple, yet engadget, owned by AOL, is wholly on the side of Apple and its sleazy marketing tactics.
[Xoom General] theahlenius:
Exactly this. I like Engadget for everything else, but they don't give Android a fair shake at things.

When you introduce a "new" line of products*, the base assumptions about it are yours to define. A lot of people can't shake the conception that a tablet =/= an iPad. An iPad is a version of a tablet. It's not the base, simplest (all jokes aside) form of one. Android gets points deducted because it's not iOS when it never claims to be. That's where Engadget and other reviewers get everything wrong.

*I know Apple didn't invent the tablet. But for all intents and purposes, it might as well have.
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
reviews have been a smoke and mirrors show for a while especially in the technology space. there are so many different ways folks use their devices, it makes it tough to do it. I was all gun ho until i found out native mail didn't work with my exchange, then i saw reviews of how touchdown is on par and even rumors they are looking to fix the exchange side certificate issues, might as well get in on the ground floor
[Xoom General] inspiron41:
there are people out there that are absolutely clueless about Xoom and they will always, and i'm sure some of you guys experienced it, say "is that iPad2?". instead of saying "no", i just let them play with it and show them all the applications. then i'll tell them this is actually Google's tablet - honeycomb.

they're just dumbfounded afterward.

[HD2 Accessories] chuck507:
I picked up this color changing USB hub from Radio Shack for $5 and it has a storage area that fits an HD2 perfectly.

I can't post a link so just google "Radio shack color changing 4 port hub" and you'll find it.

After looking at the nice fit I thought it would be easy to put a usb cable in the bottom of the compartment, so I could use it as a docking/charging station.

It's only held together by one screw in the storage compartment and then a couple pieces of double stick tape, so it was easy to open up. After taking it apart I held the phone next to it and marked where the USB port on the phone was using the dry marker that came with it. It had to be placed in the front corner of the storage compartment because of the circuit board directly underneath that storage compartment.

After marking it out I used a dremel rotary tool to put a hole in it, but I think a drill bit would have worked just as well. Then I put the USB jack in the hole so that it stood about a half inch off the bottom of the storage compartment. I took a sharp knife and trimmed those ring like pieces of plastic on the back of the usb jack off so that it was possible to put a 90 degree bend in the cable to fit it in the hub. Then I also put a small hole in the back edge and ran the cable out and plugged it into the hub.

It fits well with the stock rubber cover on the phone, or no cover on your phone, but I don't think it would fit very well if your case was much bigger than the stock case.

The dry marker that comes with the hub doesn't fit in the hole any longer, and you can't reach the buttons on your phone, but the button problem could be fixed by having the jack stand 1" off the bottom instead of the 1/2" I used.
