Motorola Xoom :: Early Adapter Blues - How To Proceed
Jun 10, 2011
I was a day 1 Android phone user and found features that were lacking. I did wait and now the Android is a real workhorse.For the tablet, I should have know as well. My question is not so much the hardware. I can wait for SD card & 4G LTE. My main issue is that that major content providers are ignoring Honeycomb and the Xoom. I regularly watch news sites. When I saw the majors launching the iPad app, I though the Xoom was right behind it. Nothing on the horizon.How can we get the developers to port to Xoom? I can get my eMail on the Android. I don't want video feeds on the Android, rather the Xoom.
Will I be able to use an Ethernet adapter with the Xoom? I thought with the new revision the Xoom had this ability but I tried one we have in the office and I can't seem to get it to work.
I'm trying to unlock my Iphone 4 version 5.1.1, I have an OK from AT&T to unlock, the question is Can I use Tmobile unactivated sim card just to proceed with the unlocking procedure?
I am trying install Ovi Suite onto my PC at work so I can get back up and running again, after upgrading my Nokai handset. However the product fails to install. I keep getting the message: Initializing Failed. Unable to proceed with the installer execution My operating system is Win XP (SP3). What's the story?
Since the M does not have an HDMI port nor support MHL, I was just pondering another alternative. My televisions are not DLNA compatible and I really don't care about HD quality, so I was wondering if the 3.5 port was an option for basic video out. I know some devices used to have a compatible adapter for this process, but thought maybe it was terminated because of new technology. In most phones the 3.5 seems to only be an audio port, but just figured I'd ask.
My 3 week old Atrix 2 will nolonger charge from the AC adapter that was included with the phone. It will only charge when connected to a computers USB port.
I've tried:
an old Iphone AC adapter car charger different USB cable removing SD card removing and reinstalling battery factory reset
I own a Milestone2 handset, nevertheless I wanted to ask this in Droid2 community because it allows to access wider American users globe, I want to know if MHL adapter works on Milestone2/Droid2 in their raw state? And how to restore Motoblur interface when I first skipped it during first time motoblur account setup?
I have a stereo with no bluetooth, but would like to stream Pandora or other music from my phone to the stereo. Now, I use an aux. cable from the headphone jack to the aux on the stereo, but I hate having the cable running from the phone to the stereo. Anybody know of a bluetooth adapter that plugs into a stereo to do this?
I know this is an old phone, but I like it and plan to keep it a while longer. It works well; however, I just purchased a 2.5mm to 3.5mm stereo audio adapter for it.I can not get the adapter to work with standard stereo headphones. When I attach them there is no sound in the headphones and music is still playing from the phone's internal speaker. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong so any pointers would be helpful.
how to switch the adapter plate on the HD Station? I am trying to get my RAZR MAXX to fit without taking off the cover each time and it appears that the additional adapter plate will do the trick. Problem is I cannot remove the one that comes installed.
So I had music on my xoom but accidently deleted it. I tried going in my computer files to copy and paste songs from my itunes into my folder on xoom called music but says wrong format. I don't know what to do.
I bought the device few days ago and on very same day updated to Android ver. 3.2. I use internet over my home Wifi and have a Netgear - WGR614 router. The browsing speed is very very slow and most sites dont open.The signal strength shown in xoom is - (-105 dBm 3 asu).Is this a issue with Android 3.2 update or my home wifi is weak? Would i be able to reset the tab to the original version?
So currently At&t will charge you $325 if you cancel you contract after 30 days however if I read correctly, you can cancel you contact before the 30 days and not get charged at all? But of course you would still need to pay for that month off service..You can check this out by clicking 'terms of service' http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/ar...less-terms.jsp
Has anyone had any success with using Wifi that required user certificates? I'm trying to get my Xoom to connect to the corporate network (EAP-TLS) and followed the instructions for the IPad and imported my certificated into Android correctly. But when I connect, it hangs at the connecting state for minutes, before finally giving up.
I would like to buy the XOOM speaker dock and play music from my XOOM on a daily basis.... I'm worried about having it plugged (and charging) in too much and that I might GREATLY reduce the battery life by charging my XOOM too much.
Now I understand that the main argument is that it would free up some traffic for the 24th when people were activating through Itunes, but I've heard from several Iphone 4 early owners that the activation process was just as slow as the times when the 3GS came out. And at the same time, would releasing maybe 15%-20% of the phones early, free up that much traffic for launch day.
I've also heard the conspiracy theory from Addictive Tips, which doesn't hold much water. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=947533 What do you think the reason was that led Apple to release the phone up to two days before the actual launch date?
I was a lifetime VZW customer and switched to AT&T in January for the 9700. When I looked at a 9800 two days ago, they told me that they would give me an early upgrade if I wanted one. ( Contract price + $75 ) What exactly determines if you get an early upgrade and how often?
I just spent an hour speaking with AT&T "Customer Service" and was appalled that they will neither waive early termination fees ("ETFs") nor unlock iPhones for customers moving to foreign countries. Although they have never been willing to unlock iPhones, they used to waive ETFs until a discreet policy change around January 2010. If you make the company whole for their iPhone subsidy by paying an ETF, how is it fair to leave you with a locked device that is useless outside AT&T's network?
Does anybody have tips for getting around this? They will not even let you switch to a prepaid plan or suspend your account for more than 6 months if you want to keep your phone number. The only option is to transfer your contract liability to someone else who is willing to accept it, which is an unlikely and generally useless option.
I have owned every iPhone to date and purchased the 3GS last year, DAY ONE. As of June 19th, my contract will be one year old. Yet, I am not eligible for even the early upgrade price. AT&T says I will be eligible 2/11. But Apple says I'm eligible in December 2010. That's one issue I'm having. Why the difference? And why are so many iPhone 3GS owners eligible when the majority of them renewed their contracts the same time I did, so most contracts are no older than mine. I don't understand why some people's dates have been pushed back and other haven't been. I understand that those eligible for upgrade in 2010 had their dates pushed ahead 6 months, but WHY were they eligible in 2010? If they renewed their 2 year contract for the 3GS, why were they eligible in 2010 to begin with? I don't understand why "Account Holder A" buys a 3GS in June of 2009 and is eligible for upgrade this month, but "Account Holder B" whom also bought a 3GS in June 2009, but can't upgrade to the iPhone 4. why?
Finally, I'm trying to figure out how to get around things. Please advise. If I cancel my contract and pay the ~$100 ETF ($175-5 per month), a few people have said AT&T will not let me open another account for 6-12 months. Is this always the case? Second option, what if I add another line and get the iPhone at a subsidized line, then cancel the first line and pay the ETF. This would work, right? I'd only lose my number? Third, most legitimate option. I was thinking about adding a line for my brother. He's dying to get an iPhone 4. If I added a line and selected a family plan, shouldn't this give me "VIP status?" I have read that those with VIP status have had their upgrade eligibility pushed forward. If I went to AT&T on preorder day and opened his line first and bought the subsidized iPhone 4, chose a family plan, would I immediately be upgrade eligible on the original line? This way I could buy my iPhone 4 at the discounted price as well?
I factory reseted my phone recently and I cant seem to get my alarms to trigger, i do NOT use the phone default alarm software, (mainly because I do not want the alarm sign icon at the top of the screen reminding me what I already know), so I use another software, I currently have 3 other alarm software's (Tasker, Alarm Clock Plus, Alarm Clock Xtreme) and while they do trigger when I test the alarm just a couple mins from now, the problem is at the morning, I assume its because my phone goes into deep sleep? here is my CPU spy screenshot which confirms my phone going into that mode, are alarms not supposed to trigger there?
After the clocks went forward again on Sunday morning my iPhone has yet again succumb to the bug of the hour delay in alarms. Has anyone else had this recentley happen again or is it just me? Also has anyone figured out a working fix for it
I purchased an iphone 4S on AT&T plan and had to susspended the services earlier. I made the early termination fee to AT&T but still the phone is unlocked and am unable to make use of it in India.
So, here is the deal. I canceled my AT&T contract and went out a purchased HTC One developers edition (64g). Dialing out and getting calls, have no issue. Load up Google Voice app. Now when I make a call the screen goes black right away.
Steps to reproduce: * Unlock phone (just screen not dropping new image on phone or anything) * Start HTC one phone app (after loading google app on phone first). ** After installing google voice, tell it that you should use it for all outgoing calls. * Go to history (I see it the most here) * select phone number in list
I was trying to correct a problem with birthday calendar entries appearing a day early, and I followed a post that said I should go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings, and now it's asking me whether I want to set up as a new iphone. I haven't recently done any manual backup. Where should I back up from or if I chose "setup as new iphone" will all my data be lost?
Can anyone recommend an app that will allow me to show .ppt files diretly on the Xoom non-US model? I had an idea it was possible with an app included in US Xooms but not to us outside the USA.
