The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is TFT... Viewing angles aren't as good as the Xoom's from what I've read. Where are you reading better battery life? Isn't the Galaxy Tab 10.1 the same Tegra 2 processor? Only way it'd be better is if they packed a massive battery in it, but if it's as thin as they're saying, doubtful.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
I thought they gave out the Nexus One last year?
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
The Tab will probably be cheaper, but from all indications doesn't have HDMI out, or an SDcard slot. The battery is probably going to be a bit larger though for sure. Somewhere in the 6900mAh area.

The screen is expected to be about the same as the Xoom's, but I doubt they'd ever do SuperAmoled+ on a 10" if they're looking to hit the $499 price point.

[Xoom General] eaglecomm:
Yeah, from that 11 minute video from AndroidHD, here are some basic specs they gave out on the 10" tab.

- 6860mAh

- 599g

- 246.2 x 170.4 x 10.9 (mm)

- Sorry OP for going more off topic. /threadjack

Can't wait for my xoom to ship (Amazon). :D
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
should be said I'll save people the google. 599 grams is 1.3lbs. The Samsung one seems to have more plastic than the Xoom to cut weight.

And the Xoom's battery is 6500mAh I think? So 6860mAh isn't too much bigger. And the Xoom's battery life is already great.
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
Yes it'll be like the nexus one for tablets which is a sign of many good things to come
[Xoom General] baller2319:
If it was like the nexus then why don't they sell the xoom on Google's site
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
They don't sell the Nexus S on Google, they just tell you where to buy one.
[Xoom General] B Dizzle:
I think Google decided to stay out of the selling business and stick to the OS. But everything I have seen and heard shows me Google is backing the Xoom the way they have the nexus line.

Follow some of the Google devs on twitter and you will see what I mean.

I will be picking my Xoom up on the 27th because Google is backing it. Sorry Big Red ... I could not convience myself it was worth $800. :/
[Xoom General] baller2319:
Ok, why dont they have site promoting it like the Nexus S?
[Xoom General] albundy2010:
I look at it like this. If its a Google dev device then Google themselves updates them. If its not the OEM/carriers do.

Nexus phones don't get updated from Samsung and HTC.
[Xoom General] ryan562:
If it runs stock android then updates should come quickly. I have a Nexus S made by Samsung and have already received three updates since purchasing it a month and a half ago.
[Xoom General] albundy2010:
Those updates come from Google not Samsung.
[Xoom General] ryan562:
True but as long as it runs stock android, updates should come out quick. Samsung delayed nearly all their OTA's on their Galaxy S class phones because of their heavily skinned, TouchWiz UI.
[Xoom General] albundy2010:
G2 is close to stock. No gingerbread for it from HTC or T-Mobile. Simple put if you are one.of those folks that want to basically always have the latest OS. You want a device that Google themselves updates.
[Xoom General] ftgg99:
I purchased the xoom as a development device. Its pure google, easily hackable and most certainly the coolest looking of the honeycomb slates (reminds me of my moto milestone actually).

My guess is that XDA members will allways pick up the slack if motorola is slow updating the xoom.

Already we are seeing some kernel development, despite not having the AOSP. The future looks bright.
[Xoom General] qwerp_:
yes, this is the exact concern i have in mind...

like others says, if this is indeed the developer phone or google tablet, there should be a webpage like the nexus. http://www.google.com/nexus/ that promotes it...

i believe the last OTA patch comes from motorola, not google.. :(
[Xoom General] 1215kids:
To me, it's like the Nexus 1. The Nexus 1 became and still is the tool developers use to advance Android OS. I feel certain the Xoom will have a similar role in the development of Honeycomb.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
It is the developers tablet. Because first, like google chrome cr48 and nexus one and g1 and even the OG droid, the xoom was given away for free by google at the developers conference on the events second day. Second and most importantly, its unlockable. Third, motorola already said it is a developers device.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
Cuz theres already a site from moto conveniently. It'd be stupid to put up another site
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consciousdawn:
Hello all.

I have a t-mobile g2, currently S-OFF, which is sitting in hboot/fastboot right now. I will not boot past the HTC screen.

I attained root last night using this method, and it worked without problems. I then gave a few apps (terminal and shark, to be precise) superuser access. Went to sleep.

This morning, I wanted to delete some apps and change some system fonts around (wanted to use the ubuntu font instead of droidsans). deleted photobucket at amazon mp3. while trying to change the fonts, I changed permissions on the /system/ folder to 777 (chmod 777 /system/). Changing the fonts wasn't working out, so i decided to leave it alone and just reboot my device. upon reboot, it would no longer boot past the htc boot screen. It will, however, go into hboot/fastboot mode without a problem. I tried going into recovery mode and using the update.zip (e4aaacea73af.OTA_Vision_TMUS_1.22.531.8-1.1.19.531.1_release_signed.zip renamed). No luck. Also, i tried researching on the forums and using adb to try to unbrick, but adb doesn't recognize any device being plugged in. fastboot did work, though, and i wrote the original recovery.img file into the phone (although I don't know where it goes when this is done...) and now I don't know where to go next. any help?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandale:
Try wiping your data and flashing a new rom on there. Some roms have a OC kernel so I would also make sure u know what kind of kernel the rom has. If its OCed I would download o non OCed kernel. Reason being some are like OCed to the max which makes the phone not boot, and when turned off sleeping doesn't want to turn back on.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consciousdawn:
I had stock android that came with the phone, I just got it about a week ago. Is there any way to find the standard/stock android rom for the g2? if anyone could link it and let me know how to flash it, that would be amazing.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consciousdawn:
Update:

I've been doing a bit more research, and I found that it might be possible to flash a stock rom (PC10IMG.zip). I downloaded the TMOUS one provided in this thread and shortened it to PC10IMG.zip. Once I do that, I go into Hboot, and when it checks for the different nbh/zip images, it always tells me "no image"/"no image or wrong image!". HELP!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
Which one did you download? The first few on there were pre-release ROMs. The 1.19.531.1 ROM was the release ROM originally. Most recent G2's come with 1.22 (the OTA update) pre-installed, which we do not currently have a PC10IMG.zip for. If your G2 had 1.22 (e.g., you already had wifi-calling and tethering), you won't be able to use the 1.19 PC10IMG unless you used gfree to obtain S-OFF. If you did not (i.e., you only flashed the engineering HBOOT), you should not try to flash this file (it will replace your HBOOT with the shipping version and then quit mid-flash because it sees you already have a higher version installed). Even if you did obtain S-OFF with gfree, flashing this file will cause you to lose your engineering HBOOT and root (though you will still have S-OFF, so it's easy to re-root).

As was stated earlier, the easiest/best thing to do at this point is flash a custom ROM. If you still want the stock look-and-feel, here is a pre-rooted stock G2 ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=836042. You want to flash it through ClockworkMod recovery. I'm assuming you hadn't installed this already or you would have a backup of your ROM that you could have simply restored. You can install ClockworkMod recovery through fastboot though (there is a thread in the dev section or you can search for one of the many guides on it).

Also, you will probably want to get the de-odex version of the stock ROM. If you are doing any kind of theming or UI modifications, that is usually required (or your changes will cause a bootloop). Without knowing the details of what you tried to do, I'm guessing this is what happened to you (since the stock ROM is odex'ed).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consciousdawn:
Do you mean this thread? I have been trying to follow along and it's a bit confusing (although I feel that's due largely in part to grammatical/usage errors). what you are saying does help a lot though. I just need to learn how to install Clockworkmod Recovery through fastboot. *googles away* in the meantime, feel free to link me to another thread which helps me do this. Thanks a million.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consciousdawn:
UPDATE:

I finally figured out what I was doing. So I used fastboot to flash a clockworkmod recovery.img onto my g2. When I went to recovery, after booting into hboot, it went to the HTC screen, as it should. Guess what I got? loopboot, once again T_T. Luckily I still have the official recovery.img, and reflashed that. Did I do something wrong? Please let me know.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
Wait, so what exactly happened? You entered the bootloader (white screen with green Android guys at the bottom), selected to enter recovery (using volume down and power button to select), and then was presented with an HTC logo? That means ClockworkMod recovery did not successfully flash. Did you get any errors when you used flashboot?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consciousdawn:
That's exactly what happened, and no, not at all. It said it flashed successfully. Maybe I don't have the correct version of Clockworkmod? If you could please link me to a good one, that would be great.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consciousdawn:
UPDATE!!

So I found an official clockworkmod 2.5.1.2, and now when I boot into recovery, it shows the HTC logo and then goes to clockworkmod. This is amazing. Thank you guys for all your help, I have learned something new today.

Now, can someone explain the difference between odexed and deodexed? please? lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consciousdawn:
Looks like I cried victory too quickly. While I do get the menu for clockworkmod (every time I boot, for that matter), every time I issue a command, such as reboot now, or install from SDcard, and even advanced, the screen goes black. GRRR, WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? I've been at this since about 1 today T_T
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consciousdawn:
Just wanted to say that I'm the biggest noob on the planet. While I did upgrade to cwm 3.0.0.5, i didn't know it allowed the use of the main controls. I got my phone up and running now. Thank you for all the help. Good night :]
[Xoom General] lazy_rider:
First of all, this isn't a "why I don't like the Xoom" post. Actually, there is a lot that I do really like about the Xoom, and I'm optimistic that once Flash, 4G, and a few more Honeycomb-optimized apps come to the device, it will be a very capable device.

The reason I'm posting here is that I purchased the Xoom online from Verizon when it first came out, but there were a few things that bothered me enough about it that I returned it after about a week to make sure that I didn't land outside the return window. I have however, been considering buying another one, this time directly from the Verizon store so I can spend a little more time with it to determine if I like it enough to justify the $800 expenditure. So, I wanted to post my major nits with the product here to see if others have found them to be not as much of an issue or had found workarounds that solve some of these problems. I know there have been other posts about many of these problems, but I was hoping to get some fresh perspective now that the device has been out and in people's hands for a little longer.

Here's what is keeping me from going out and buying another Xoom right now.

1. I didn't like the display. On auto-brightness, it seemed like it was always too dark, and even the maximum manual brightness setting it still wasn't bright enough to overcome the glare that the screen attracted when I was sitting by a window or near a lamp. I felt like I was always struggling to see what was on the screen, even when indoors. Has anyone had luck solving this with, for example, an anti-glare screen protector? Or was this something that you adjusted to and found to be less of an issue over time?

2. The portfolio case, though serviceable, was unattractive and clunky, but I didn't like the lack of screen protection on the gel case. Is the gel case maybe worth another look, or are there any third party cases in the works that look promising?

3. It can't charge via USB, and the power adapter is a little larger than something I would like to have tucked in my bag all the time. How do you keep your Xoom charged on the go? Do you find that the advantage of being able to charge the Xoom quickly makes up for the fact that it can't be charged by a universal mini-usb?

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this. It turned out a little longer than I had originally intended. Looking forward to your feedback.
[Xoom General] keitht:
1. I agree with the auto brightness. I turned this off and keep the brightness at 75%. I added Zagg invisibleshield and it has significantly reduced glare, fingerprints and smudges. I am happy.

2. I ordered this but it has not arrived yet: http://www.zoogue.com/shop/#xoom-zoogue-case-genius I am currently using the Moto gel case and it works for now.

3. I haven't had an issue with the charger. It charges very fast and the battery life is very good.
[Xoom General] kjdocs:
I love my xoom, though i don't see a lot of resolution for you on these issues.

1. I love the display, agreed it's hard to see in bright light (but this to me is normal).

2. I like the portfolio case and use it constantly.

3. For me the lack of usb chargning is fine, as the default charger charges so fast and my battary lasts me all day. I can charge from empty to full in less then two hours and get at least a good 12 hour day of off again on again usage.

Hope this helps.
[Xoom General] r0guenj:
same here.

i turned of auto brightness and the screen is great for me now.

haven't put a case on it (waiting for a good one to come out).

i left the shipping cover plastic on the screen until i decide on what screen protector i am going to use.

no usb charging was not a deal breaker for me as it has been noted before that the charge time is fast and the use time is high.
[Xoom General] mgerbasio:
1. I use mine on a bus and outside and haven't really had a problem with brightness, the glare is a killer though. Inside, at night when using the kindle app, I'd like to turn down the brightness. I picked up the Steinheil screen protectors (matte) and it really cut down on the fingerprint smudges and glare. Yea, the screen isn't as crisp as without the protector, but the smudges ruined it anyway. I took auto brightness off but keep the display turned down.

2. I haven't seen any third party case even for the ipad that I really like. The portfolio from Motorola is the best I've seen so far and I'm really disappointed. It needs to have a typing position, maybe 20-30% incline.

3. I would have liked a mini usb charger. I'll probably get a second one but by charging it at night I have more than enough juice to get through a day.

Motorola had a $100 off coupon floating around and the wifi models are being released at the end of this month which should be less expensive.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
I have a Zoogue iPad case and have used it for the past 8 months. It is amazing and has held up perfectly. It is an awesome case especially if you intend to watch a fair bit of videos with your tablet. Maybe not the prettiest case around, but it protects the hell out of the tablet and not only allows you any angle of incline, but also a very sturdy base so that it wont go tipping over if you tap the tablet too hard.
[Xoom General] lanternca:
I agree with most people here.

1. Forget the auto brightness. It's useless.

2. I really want the zoogue case, let me know how it is. I'm ok with the portfolio case. It's definitely grown on me. I have two big issues with it though: lack of a 30-degree angle for tabletop use, but i've gotten used to the "low angle", and no charging while closed. someone in the accessories forum suggested punching a hole with a punch meant for making holes in a belt and it worked like a charm (hint: try asking your dry cleaner/alternation shop if you can use theirs, that way I didn't have to buy one). Looks like it almost was meant to be there.

3. I would have liked the 'option' of a mirco usb charger, but honestly, I use it every day at work unplug in the morning, use at home after dinner and plug in at night, and have never had an issue. I even went away for the weekend (sat morn to sunday night) and brought my charger, but i never charged it. I dont see it as an issue.
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
1 - I operate my device on auto brightness pretty much all the time, the only exception to this is when QuickPic fires up because it ramps it to 100%. I have found that in most normal operating environments I can see the screen perfectly. I am not outdoors with it very often but I know what you are talking about because it is difficult to see under direct or even semi direct sunlight.

2 - I'm going to buy a gel case right now, I already own the protective case. I want to try them both and figure that I'll use the Gel case around the house and the protective case out at work.

3 - There is a car charger, but I am unaware of a more compact Xoom charger.
[Xoom General] lazy_rider:
Thanks to everyone who has commented so far. I'm leaning strongly towards giving the Xoom another shot, although I might wait until they start shipping with 4G, so I don't have to send it back to Moto for a week for the upgrade.
[Xoom General] aohus:
I'm still not over the display quality. This is one of the main factors why I'm weighing to sell the xoom and get another honeycomb tablet in the future.

Couldn't say as I've never used it before.

I found the xoom's ability to charge quickly makes up for the lack of usb charging. additionally, when in a car traveling long distances, i can hook up the charger to a power generator i bought for the car that easily hooks up to the lighter port.

I'm going to wait it out, and try and get the samsung tablet 10.1 coming out in about a month.
[Xoom General] BBruin66:
I too use auto brightness all the time, but maybe I live in a dark existence.

I use the gel case all the time, and no screen protector. When I take it with me, its in my protective net book sleeve in my backpack so I'm not really worried about the screen. If I start to hear complaints here about screen issues (other than the gym bag guy) I may seek better protection.

I don't find the charging to be an issue as the battery lasts a long time. I think the car charger (<$30) is a good idea if you are gonna be in the car for even 15 minutes or so. If you can hook up the standard dock someplace in your car you can charge it and play audio from itnto the aux port on your stereo if you have one...
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
Very much so; it charges it so fast and the battery life is so good I just don't worry about it any more. I might get a car charger for the times I can't get home in time, once they get 2nd-sourced (to save money) but so far, so good.
[Xoom General] wynand32:
I suffer under no delusions that a device like this will be viewable in direct lighting (including sunlight). I pretty much assumed going in that I'd still be using my classic Nook with e-ink for reading outside...
[Xoom General] joraanma:
i bought one and I returned it because of the same issues. Then I bought my wife an I pad 2 and i tested it for a few day and I

notice the xoom is so fast and you not handcuffed to apple products that I went and bought the xoom again and this time I'm keeping it.
