[HTC Incredible S] cisoprogressivo:
Hi guys,

this is my first english unboxing of an Android device:

http://en.androidworld.it/2011/03/14/unboxing-htc-incredible-2/

I will have this device for a month so if you have questions about this device please let me know, and I'll try to answer in the full review :)
[HTC Incredible S] TimMun:
Nice! ;)

When I unboxed my IncS last friday I had an unexpected but pleasant surprise! ^^ waha an 8gb sd card :)
[HTC Incredible S] MrForoch:
good job! (bel video :))
[HTC Incredible S] cisoprogressivo:
Thank you!

Also in my Incredible S there were a 8GB microSD inside, but I forgot to mention it.
[HTC Incredible S] ramis7:
and you can also notice this 8GB has class 4 instead of class 2. so this is also +1.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sansart:
Hi I have a wifi issue I can't seem to get working. When I am at my college I have problems connecting.

The network doesn't come up, you have to enter it in the settings.

The directions for setting up the connection are as here http://wireless.fullerton.edu/guides/android/student/Android Student WiFi.htm

However since there is no option for 802 Enterprise on my phone, I chose:

802.1x EAP

EAP method: PEAP

Phase 2: Mschapv2

CA Certificate: Unspecified

User Certificate: Unspecified

Then I put my username in for Identity/Anonymous Identity

and my password into the password field

What happens is this:

It'll says Wireless Connections Available

The network shows up at the top and if I click it, it says Signal Strength: Excellent, so I click Connect

It then says Scanning and the network drops to the bottom and if I click on it then it says not in range. If I wait a minute it will say Scanning again and it will pop up to the top again and the same thing happens

With the Firefly Rom I was able to connect for the first time. Then all of a sudden it hasn't been working. I've tried the DHPCD fix posted by Guardian Bob but I don't think this pertains to me. Any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sansart:
bump! any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
I would have no idea unfortunately... I didn't even know there was a DHCP fix for us (and not really relevant the your current problem).

My only idea is to try and make the phone forget all wireless settings and to try setting it up again... Which ROM are you using? (If stock, 2.1 or 2.2?)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apparition:
Site isn't working for me.

Anyway, What are you using for your identity? It's not only going to be your student ID. You also have to include the domain server too.

for my school (BCIT), my student number is something like: a0123467

so my identity will be: a0123456@ad.bcit.ca

For my other school, we needed certificates to get eduroam working, but i never was able to get it working with 2.2.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sansart:
Yeah it's down for me too. I believe its just my school username that's used for email/logging into our portal...

[Atrix 4G General] zizo79:
just got this from #ATT office of the president about my complaint about HSUPA limitations
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
They're just copying and pasting their official statement as responses to individual inquiries.
[Atrix 4G General] Deminjeans:
Has anyone asked them why the iphone gets better speeds when the test are run side by side.

I have not seen anyone get a response from at&t regarding the speeds compared to iphone. I did read that the atrix does support all the same bands iphone does plue the hspda+
[Atrix 4G General] zizo79:
Yeah..more like read this and shut up and still no official statement !
[Atrix 4G General] zizo79:
That is actually what I asked them...
[Atrix 4G General] independent8847:
They don't even proof read..."when we turning this feature on, you will continue to have a world class experience"

now thats a bad copy paste job
[Atrix 4G General] Claus44:
guess that only leaves us to stage:

1. A massive phone call complain to paralyze their customer service for a few days. I believe calling 611 from our phones are free, we might even be able to paralyze/heavily load their some of their towers if the customer service queue is long enough

2. Schedule a mass return plan if they do not respond to our demands by say, this Friday? If they do not respond, we should get everyone to return their phones on the 20th, right before the 30 day period is up for those that pre-ordered. They cannot resale the returned phones as new, but we can always pick up a new one when they decide to enable HSUPA.
[Atrix 4G General] bms231:
wow what a b.s. response from a b.s. kind of company. just ask how screwed any of the captivate people are. i am now hesitant to buy this phone.

i was doing speed tests right next to the inspire and the atrix was 50% slower than the inspire when it came to download speeds.
[Atrix 4G General] zizo79:
that will actually be cool ...organizing a massive return at the same time and document it haha

[Xoom General] bear1906:
I bought an Ipad 2 on Friday and a Xoom on Saturday...The Ipad2 grew on me because its slick and pretty efficient. The Xoom wasnt even on my radar until I went back to Best Buy to ask a question about the Ipad 2. Long story short, I have 2 weeks to decide. Initially, I wasnt crazy about the Xoom, but its started to grow on me, seems to have more depth. I am a Droid/Inc guy, I root , the whole nine, so I like Android's platform, but I am scared about whether or not the apps and support will matchup with the potential of the Xooms hardware. The Ipad2 is like a lexus, rock solid, uber reliable, intuitive and slick - but also somewhat numb to the feel (experience).The Xoom seems more like a Bimmer...more fun to drive, but also more tempermental.

Xoom fans, please shed light on what you think are the biggest pro's to the Xoom from a hands-on perspective. Thanks!
[Xoom General] aohus:
honestly? Neither.

I really prefer honeycomb over ios. And honeycomb will be available on many different hardware.

Personally I'm waiting on the samsung galaxy 10.1. Its only 10 grams heavier than ipad2 and has better display and 8mp back camera.

[YOUTUBE]rtqXLGPzVMk&HD=1[/YOUTUBE]
[Xoom General] Bielinsk:
For me the iPad isn't an option. Being tethered to their store is just not something I will do.

The apps will catch up. I can't the the iPad as being able to do anything the Xoom can't, but I can see the Xoom being able to do a many things the iPad cannot.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
It also does not have a standard port of any kind. No micro USB, no micro HDMI. Have fun buying adapters..also the oh so frequent updates Samsung is known for... wait..

[Xoom General] inrelief:
I own a Xoom, and I see this getting thrown around a lot -- Samsung's update problem.

They're miserable with their touchwiz devices (I own a Vibrant), but given that Google is using the Galaxy line of phones (Nexus S) to showcase Gingerbread, I would hazard it's safe to say if it's running as a Google experience device, the updates can and will come in a timely manner.

That said, we don't have a release date for the Galaxy 10.1 tablet, so in regards to the 'waiting game', I'd say that's it.
[Xoom General] paulshields:
Android always wins over iOS for me. The hardware is almost secondary :). Lots of 10" tablets on the horizon so personally wouldn't plunge right into the Xoom at the moment, but it's certainly the least worst large format tablet out there right now...
[Xoom General] aohus:
its a google experience device. theres no touchwiz, with virtually the same hardware (Tegra 2).

there won't be a problem updating this device (given that it will be unlockable/rootable, which most likely will be, but will confirm before purchasing).

as for the ports, i have no need for HDMI. theres rarely a time i need to connect a tablet to a monitor/TV. Again, this is my personal preference. No HDMI is not a dealbreaker for me. I never use the HDMI port on my droidx, i doubt ill need an HDMI port on my tablet.

there is no usb port, but USB is supported via charging port. in essence, a PC can recognize the tablet by using the charging port. i'm thinking this will most likely be a proprietary cable.
[Xoom General] rtc1036:
Of the two, I'd take the Xoom. I've owned an iPad when they first came out and sold it after three months. My biggest complaint with Apple is the file management system and lack of access to it. With Apple, if it doesn't sync through iTunes it's a pain in the butt. I love the fact that with my Xoom and my Incredible, I can browse it like a hard drive when hooked up to my PC, I can move folders/files around and have no issues. I love the fact I can change themes, my ROM, Kernel, etc. It provides the "end user" experience that I think any personal electronic device should. Moto Xoom all the way.
[Xoom General] nswenson:
Xoom has a better web experience with the chrome stype browser and flash support. It also has much better versions of google apps such as maps, gmail, etc. The mutitasking is better and widgets are useful too. The Ipad2 is faster, more vibrant screen, better gaming device, sleeker, more app selection, etc. It depends on what's important to you. I'm on the fence myself and that's with the 25% discount. I don't pledge allegance to any device. The ipad2 is a very polished, well thought out machine. The price can't be beat from a hardware perspective. 30% thinner with better battery life and better performance than Xoom while costing less. Hardware wise there is no comparison. It flat out kicks butt on the Xoom. Software wise is another story. I much prefer Honeycomb. The only downside is that it will never be as smooth, fast, and efficient as IOS. We run bytecode due to Dalvik VM while they run native machine code. That gives them 20 to 30% more performance right off the bat even with everything else being equal. That's the price you pay for an open system that supports various hardware from different vendors versus writing an OS for specific hardware.

Anyway, sorry for posting the obvious. Just rambling.
[Xoom General] inspiron41:
if you're making analogies, i prefer this one. Apple iOS is like Windows95, same old OS running for the past 10 years, while honeycomb is like Windows7.

there are many things to love about honeycomb/Xoom....

1. customizable display and widgets - e.g. Thumb Keyboard (MUST!! 5 star recommended)

2. folder management

3. No need for syncing with desktop or itunes (never had to connect to pc)

4. Widescreen (perfect for video playback)

5. Stereo speakers

6. awesome camera (even better than iphone4) - i'm a photographer lover

7. 4G LTE Speed

8. MicroSD card

9. 2x RAM

10. barometer

11. Free Google Services! gmail, maps, places, navigation, youtube, etc

12. free mobile hotspot

13. Encryption

14. better Notification system!

not in any particular order and there's probably more. and i dont find any problems reading outdoors at full brightness. I know i have difficulties using ipad outdoors even with full brightness.
[Xoom General] bear1906:
Awesome feedback...I may try to sell this iPad while I can get more than retail for it.

This is just another stupid thread that should be locked.

You have both at the moment. Try them both and see which one you would like to keep. The end.

Its funny you ask this on a Xoom/Android dedicated place, go to an iPad hang out forum and you'll get the exact opposite response and answers.
[Xoom General] bear1906:
One last follow-up...

What cool things would I get out of rooting the Xoom?
[Xoom General] 1215kids:
I was fortunate enough to get 25% coupon price and I can't believe it will get old any time soon. On the other hand I also am fortunate to be able to get the black 16gb Ipad 2. (Ordered). I understand that there's not much customization but I do look forward to the straight forward functioning of the I pad. While waiting, I've downloaded about 25 apps to iTunes and will sync when it arrives.
[Xoom General] angermeans:
Yes but it doesn't have expandable memory, wont be uogradeable to 4G (biggest difference), both have the same processor and most of all it is built by samsung. I will never buy a samsung product for the rest of my life. To each his own. My hierarchy goes HTC then motorola and nothing else right now but that's just my opinion.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Um, the original iPad is capable of doing multiple things the Xoom can't.

What do you mean tethered to their store?
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
Aside from a handful of apps that don't yet have a corresponding type of program on android, what capabilities are you referring to?

"Capabilities" are one of the areas that idevices will ALWAYS get buried in the big picture... whether or not someone wants an I pad for other reasons is another question... but it won't be capabilities
[Xoom General] ChongoDroid:
I agree with all of those except camera... we need camera mods to make it nice... I don't use it much so I don't mind but it is blurry as hell... iphone produces decent "hdr" photos. Then again my n1 camera only became usable with cm camera mods. One more thing that you forgot to mention is the market... yeah I said it... I prefer android market to ios any day... why? Its not closed... and you don't have to type your password in every time you download something. The fact that you need to enter your password every download is ridiculous... it reminds me of a needy clingy girlfriend. Every time I play with my iPod I thank jebus that it isn't my handset.
[Xoom General] ChongoDroid:
Yeah like viewing any site you'd like and not the ones steve jobs lets you view.... or the fact that the first thing you need to do is plug it into your PC. Or playstation... or n64.. or video chat over 3g... or widgets... or non intrusive notifications... I think that's enough examples
[Xoom General] sleeplessninja:
Hey. I have a Xoom Channel and I am consistently uploading video on different apps and experiences on the Xoom.

http://www.youtube.com/sleeplessninjas
[Xoom General] sleeplessninja:
I completely agree with you. When I take my videos for the Xoom I try to just show the experience uncut and let the viewer decide.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
The iPad original can play high profile h.264@L5.1, which is pretty much covers all 720p h.264. Tegra 2 is incapable of playing high profile h.264@L4.1 or above. Right now I don't think the Tegra 2 can play any high profile h.264.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
The iPad is capable of pretty much all of those things frankly other than flash gaming which no one realistically uses and widgets. Believe me, I am not a fan of iOS and certainly not Apple or Steve Jobs, but there is no need to deny reality. The iPad has a PSx emulator. It has had an N64 emulator for much longer than Android with wii support. You can video chat over 3g with a simple jailbreak tweak. Non intrusive notifications are a simple jailbreak tweak.

There is no need to misrepresent the capabilities of the devices you don't like/use.
[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
I believe he was discussing features without jailbreak. Emulators require jailbreak on iPad along with using a wii controller.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
No, he wasn't. I responded to this:"I can't the the iPad as being able to do anything the Xoom can't, but I can see the Xoom being able to do a many things the iPad cannot." with:

and then he said:

Whether the ipad was jailbroken or not never entered into the picture. I was talking about capabilities, specifically relating to hardware.
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
Can you underclock and overclock an iPad? Serious question~

Edit: Nvm, I assume without the ability to flash a custom kernel there would be no other (easy?) way to overclock. Is there a way to flash a custom kernel?
[Xoom General] odwalker:
Take them both back and get a nook.
[Xoom General] aohus:
no, you can't underclock/overclock iPad.

one of the main reasons why i'm sticking with android. once we have the ability to undervolt our xoom, GAME OVER. i'm thinking we can get 20+ hours of battery life possibly.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
No custom roms/kernels. The most customization you can make is the equivalent of flashing themes in Android.
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
Yea, I heard about that. The iPad themes are lovely.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Yea, they are limiting. Of course you can also do this:

which compensates for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of Apple's crappy iOS.

[Xoom General] ZoinksS2k:
I've got the same dilemma and apparently the same spending habits as you, bear1906 :)

I've got a decently large investment in Itunes media and use it pretty regularly. I also want a decent alternative to using my laptop for watching movies on flights.

The Ipad is probably the best option for this usage scenario. It's the easiest way to get movies on a mobile device if money isn't a problem.

I also use the tablet for corporate email and general web browsing.

Here's how I made my decision*:

Fit, finish and general quality - Ipad2, it is simply gorgeous

Email - Xoom, The ipads client is OK, but there are multiple options with Android

Mods - Xoom, I love custom ROM's and I hope the community produces them in volume

Apps - Ipad2, it has been out much longer

Battery - Draw, both devices last all day which is all I need

Display - Draw, the Ipad2 is crisper, Xoom is higher res

Media - Ipad2

Speed - Ipad2, this is subjective but the ipad feels faster

Network - Xoom, LTE will be available in my area

Choice - Xoom, Android has multiple options for just about everything. Apple is repressive at a minimum

*These are my opinions, flametards

End of the day, I'm keeping the Xoom. The driving reason is mod potential, but this is risky. I believe there will be a healthy number of options in the near future. However, it could end up like the Galaxy Tab which has been slow to start.

Good luck on your choice
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
I also had a ton invested in itunes music, but a day spent with good audio converter and my entire library was DRM-free. Similar things could be done with video.

It felt great to "free" my media... it wasn't the least labor intensive thing to do for an entire day, but well worth it. Nowadays, I've been using the Amazon mp3 store (which is defaultly free of drm) for audio and I have no complaints.
[Xoom General] yassarian:
I think to share our experience will only aid and not hurt the community - isn't that what 'open' is all about?

Anyway I had both Xoom and iPad(1) for a while - I bought an iPad after they got cheaper due to ipad2, Xoom because I'm curious about its potential and I'm sure just like my Evo it's extremely... tinker-able.

At the end of the day, I decided to return the Xoom and have an iPad2 on order (iPad1 is going to parents lol). Here are my reasons.

1) Usability. This is the biggest one for me. Yes you can tinker till your hearts content on a Xoom, it's open, etc etc. But for me, the use case for a tablet is very different from a phone. I want to be able to check my investment accounts, I want to be able to hassle-free watch videos, I want *reliable* long battery life. I want apps that does useful stuff for my needs. Now, tying everything down to iTune is a bore, but I would imagine that to the XDA community, jailbreaking is almost a given - which makes a perfectly usable device even better. Whereas in the case of Xoom, I'm afraid that without extensive tinkering and customization, what you have got is that you just paid $800 to be a beta tester for Google/Moto.

2) Price. $800 to be a beta tester is just as crazy as die-hard Apple fans wait 5hrs and blindly buy what came out of Jobs mouth. It is too expensive for me for it to be a mere toy.

There are many things I dislike about iOS - like multitasking w/o JB. So I miss able to listen to Pandora while surfing the net or checking emails (until JB), but at the end of the day, I realized that at least for me, this isn't a big deal - I would sacrifice that for more high quality apps that I actually USE. Apple's cloud implementation is also rudimentary at best, this is something I took for granted on my EVO and doesn't realize how much I miss it until it's not there.

So at the end of the day, I returned Xoom because I refuse to pay $800 for a beta product. In 6 months I'm hoping to revisit Honeycomb and hope for a product that is both more mature and competitive.
[Xoom General] :
One word, Xoom. Ipad is not competition. But the samsung 10.1 coming out is pretty sweet as well.

I've also been enjoying Google's web-based market. Regardless of where my phone (evo) or Xoom are, I can log into market.android.com and install applications to either of the devices wirelessly. The next time I pick up one of the mobiles, the new app is there, installed and ready to go.

I also like that any app you buy is yours to install on any (or all) of your devices.

You can multitask without jailbreak on the iPad. Pandora and music plays fine in the background. You need to update to 4.2.1 at least though. It's actually really cool, no matter what audio player you use, if you double click the home button and swipe to the left on the multitasking bar there are music controls that work universally with all players including pandora. Also, set up google sync exchange servers for a more android like syncing experience.

Judge for yourself

Its all personal preference in the end. I am working on a collection of videos that show the Xoom in action and particular apps. I try hard to update daily with new videos on new apps. I try to be as unbiased as possible and stay away from direct IPad and Xoom comparisons. Judge for yourself, see if you like what the Xoom has to offer, and if you have any requests to see certain feature or app on Xoom, let me know on my channel page and I'll make it happen.
