I want to overclock my Xoom again but in case I decide I want to go back to the stock kernel for 3.0.1 I was woundering if anyone can tell me where I can get or how I could make a stockboot.img for 3.0.1. The only one I am seeing, unless Koush has updated the stockboot.img file, is the one he has on his site. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I always leave my phone on the charger over night. I hadn't even thought about it until today, but I was reading a thread and it got me thinking that my short battery life may be because I charge over night. Could this be true?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stud421:
good question..

well if you are like me, I only charge when I get home and more times than not I am going to bed. So I really don't feel like waking up just to take it off the charger and then let it sit draining battery while I go back to bed. I just leave it till I am up and ready to leave for the day. With my Cappy it last only about 12 hours anyway since it was new so I am not sure leaving it charging over night is that bad of a thing. I am however interested to know the scoop of how this might effect the overall life of the battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MobileNick:
I don't think it's hurting battery life. On other threads with people asking why unplugging often shows between 95 - 100% charge even if the phone was left on the charger a long time. The answer given was that the charging software will purposely float between these ranges to prevent overcharging. So I think it's okay. And I've pretty much always left my phones charging all night - not just the Cappy - and never noticed any degredation in battery life or longevity.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokhentix:
When your phone is being used (not charging), li-ion batteries carries the - current to the + current, and when you are charging the phone, a external source (an outlet; your charger) applies a higher voltage than the battery operates at, but the same polarity, forcing the current to turn around and pass through the opposite direction (+ to -, instead of - to + like above).

Saying that, each "cell" in the battery has a "voltage limit"[per cell], when that limit is reached, the battery stops charging. Most cell-phone / PDA Li-Ion batteries stop charging at 2.7-3V. And of course, cells also have a inner clock, but this isn't exactly a new concept. All electrical sources have internal resistances, which build up over time, and it reduces the maximum capacity of each Cell, which in turn reduces the batteries overall capacity.

The battery won't kill itself, we're smarter than that. To put this for bed once and for all, it wouldn't matter if you were using the Li-ion battery or not; even if they sit on a shelf unused, internal resistances come with age.

So no, it won't kill your battery. The only things that can speed up the death of your battery is heat. My estimate, is our batteries will lose around 15-20% Maximum Capacity / YR. It's pretty much the average for cell phones.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
I always put it on charge when I sleep at night like 11/12, and pull it out for a second or two when my first alarm comes up (~1 hour before I wake up) and put it back on charge immediately to top up, and pull it out when I am out of bed (~8). Been doing this since I got the phone. And I still have ~3.5 hours display time (with active transfer the whole time) and ~1 hour talk time, with ~18 hours standby.

In short, all our cell phones cut off charge when they are full. So it shouldn't matter.

What kills battery is heat. So keep it charged in an open area. If u feel the phone hot after charge, try taking off its case, if any. Keep the battery cool, and u should be good, even if u leave ur phone on charger all night.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KreacherComfort:

[Xoom Accessories] Paradox5582:
I would caution against the top one. It puts a great deal of torque on the onboard micro usb. I would recommend the bottom one with the flexible cord.

I bought the Nokia CA-157 cable from ebay. Turns out it has a squared off 'A' micro USB connector which doesn't fit. It has to be a 'B' connector (non-square) to fit the Xoom. I didn't even know there were different types! Ah well it didn't cost much. I just ordered this one instead.

I'll post the updates and pics as soon as I get the parts. In the mean time if you're looking for an OTG adapter, the ones I found on eBay might be what you're looking for. And you don't have to pay to ship in bulk from China ;-)
[Xoom Accessories] myv6mustang:
Pretty good idea...would definitely like to see if this works.
[Xoom Accessories] footboydog:
I just received the one I ordered. It works with the wireless keyboard that came with my Acer Revo nettop PC which is very nice! Even the following keys work:

Media playback controls (play/pause, volume etc controlled with Fn and function keys together)

Fn-F4 works as the home key

The right click button to the right of the space bar brings up the menu in the top right (at least in the browser).

The search button (Fn-F2) brings up the search bar

Ctrl-T opens a new tab

Esc seems to map to "Stop" in the browser but back everywhere else:confused:

Caps lock and shift

Tab key tabs between text fields

Arrow keys navigate in browser and home screens

Unfortunately it seems to think I have a US keyboard (@ and " are swapped).

P.S. I am unrooted

I'm really keen to get one of these OTG adapters, especially now that the official update is in the wild for usb support.

This is the type I am looking for

http://www.meritline.com/micro-usb-type-b-male-to-usb-a-female-cable-black---p-62877.aspx

It was mentioned in the OP I think.

I can't buy from them, as they won't ship to South Africa.

And the others look dodgy like they will put strain on the usb port, as was mentioned earlier in this thread.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Anyone check if Monoprice makes an OTG cable? I'll check when I get back home.
[Xoom Accessories] slack04:
Asked this in another thread, but it looks dead now.

Anyone know whether the xoom USB cable or

any

microUSB cables have OTG integrated into them? If so, maybe we could just use USB female to female adapters? What if the USB female to female is a crossover cable? I did a bunch of research on USB OTG, but it looks like most manufacturers don't use the sticker even if the cable has OTG capability.

Please don't answer if your answer is "I think so" or "probably not"... That kills me on forums...
[Xoom Accessories] SnakeManJayd:
Ha Ha, I just asked the same thing on a different thread.:D

USB OTG fun

So, obviously I'm also curious about this.

I might go ahead and buy a female to female to try it out, they should be quite cheap. And I'm sure I will find more uses for it if it doesn't work for this application. Will let you know when I have tried it, assuming I have received the update by then.
[Xoom Accessories] SnakeManJayd:
Ordered this cable on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250817547531#ht_4462wt_905

Thanks to advice from a guy on the other thread that I mentioned.

It was really cheap and they are shipping all the way to SA for free.

Oh, slack04, the standard usb cable that comes with the Xoom won't work for OTG using a female to female on the other end, as far as I understand it.

As far as I know, the 5th wire on the micro B side will be disconnected so that it knows that it is the slave, so even with a female to female, it won't kick into host mode, but it is my opinion that a simple hack (again suggested by others in the above thread) where you connect pin 5 to pin 4 on the standard cable, will enable OTG and then it will work with the female to female.

I hope this helps.

Cheers

Has anyone received the flexible connector in the OP yet? I want to find a known working OTG cable and it seems next to impossible.

Those of you that have gotten usb drives to work?

Are you stock and unrooted or using the custom kernel?

From what I understood, the usb flash/HDD accessibility is not supposed to be available yet, as from what I remember, Google basically hasn't figured out how they want to do file browsing, hence lack of stock file explorer.

I could be wrong.

But it seems that all the guys having issues with no USB drive support have stock 3.1?

I have stock as well, but my cable isn't here yet to test.

I am currently modifying my standard dock to include both female USB an HDMI ports custom fit into the back of the dock. With the OTG cable, what happens when you connect the Xoom to the computer? Since the Xoom is in host mode, it wouldn't show up as a digital camera storage device like it does with a normal cable right? Or does it still function that way?

If not, I'm going to wire a jumper switch to make the host mode selectable. Thanks for any info!

It took a bit longer to get here because I live in South Africa, but it made it and I pluged my usb mouse in and it worked straight away.

Very impressed with 3.1. and the seller on ebay.

*edit

I tried it with my ps3 controller and it works well. You plug it in and it starts working straight away.

Lots of fun playing old games I bought for PS1 on my Xoom with a PS3 controller.

Only gripe is that the analogue and direction buttons seem to be recognized as the same, i.e. if plaing N64 and wanting to make the left analogue the moving around and the direction buttons the c-buttons, it won't work.

But it is still really cool.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
So, you dropped your phone from some height, and now it doesn't go into landscape anymore?

do you mean your phone won't physically open, or it won't tilt to landscape when you change the orientation of the phone?

If its the latter, sounds like you busted your accelerometer.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojo_16:
Yeah I was talking bout the screen orientation but when I reboot my phone it works fine and after a while it doesn't, so I don't think the accelerometer is broken
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tan-ce:
Not sure if this will help, but I have heard of cases where it's an app that's causing the system to stop responding to the accelerometer. I have a friend who owns a Samsung Galaxy S who had his accelerometer stop working, only to find it working after uninstalling a bunch of apps.

So you might want to consider that it wasn't necessarily the drop that caused it.
