Motorola Xoom :: "Pop-Up" Windows/applications Not Working?
Sep 5, 2011
I'm having an issue that has been plaguing me for quite some time now. It's seemed to get worse over time as well. The issue is when I click on something which would normally launch another application or window, the screen slightly dims and nothing happens. I tap the screen again and the brightness returns as if the window that was open is closed now. This IS NOT a screen brightness issue.for instance, I go into the "Videos" app and tap on a video shot from the xoom. The screen slightly darkens and then nothing happens. No video shows. Not even the player. Another example is in Gmail. I can click on a link to a website and the screen darkens and nothing happens. Tapping on the screen brings the original brightness back. Yet another example is from the gallery, I tap on the video I want to watch and it opens up the player. I tap play and the screen darkens up and nothing happens.I've tried a "hard" reset using volume up and power simultaneously to no avail. I have also deleted/removed all of my apps I have installed in the last month to month and a half

When I browse the files in my Xoom MZ604 using Windows the display shows Name, Type, Size, Track, Artist, Album, Year, Duration. The files are mainly jpeg images, I could see Name, Size, Take Taken and Tags. This is what Windows Displays for my internal and external hard drives.
Why does Winodws not regard the MZ604 in the same way? Is there any way to inform Windows that the tablet is actually external storage, or a separate computer?

All of a sudden, when I plug my Xoom via USB into either of my computers (Win 7 x32 or Win 7 x64) the computer recognizes the Xoom, I can see the Internal Storage and the SD Card, but when I open either of these, I see no files. THe only directory that shows up on the Internal Storage is the Android directory.

I want to transfer some videos and photos from my Xoom to my computer (which has Windows XP and Windows Media Player 11). My understanding is that this combination only allows a transfer FROM the computer TO the tablet -- what do I need to make the transfer in the other direction?

I've downloaded some mp4 videos and noticed something strange.1 - When I plug xoom to my Windows 7 notebook, some of these files don't show up, no matter what I do.2 - The Gallery app doesn't show them either.3 - I can play them just fine with the defaut video player if I use any file manager to see the filesIt doesn't really matter where the files are. The videos that do show up can be in any folder and they both show up in gallery and on windows.

I just bought the wifi xoom model and I need to get my music on it. I use napster and need to get it to recognize my xoom. I also tried to get my music from windows media center and it recognized my device but said it couldn't sync but gave no reason why.

Is there now or ever going to be an update for the Xoom FE? I still have Android 3.1. Never had an update and have nearly had this thing a year. It lags in several areas and can't run many applications without crashing.

I'm used to working in a Windows based environment so I might not be using the proper terminology here. When I'm done working with an application on my XOOM it appears that the app is minimized but not closed. How can I do that?

one example- Internet app-full screen only shows in 'normal' orientation, wont rotate- it does rotate in others, so its not the 'lock' setting.

I can't remember where I saw the comment, but another Xoom user mentioned that his handwriting application(s) seemed to degrade in performance the longer he used them (per reboot, I believe). Until today, I thought I was imagining it, but the same thing seems to be happening to me. I was taking notes with Writepad and about one-half hour into the meeting I experienced significant lag between strokes of the stylus and appearance on the screen, and I needed to revert to the keyboard. It's happened with other handwriting applications as well.

Anyone else having trouble with Netlfix on the Xoom following the upgrade to Android 4.0 (ICS)? I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Netflix app from the Android Market three times and Netflix can't connect to the server.
Netflix now works with ICS after uninstalling TV Guide app.

Have got 2 broadband dongles (Vodafone and 3) and used both SIMs in the XOOM and they worked fine (after the obligatory reboot). However they no longer work and try as I might i can't get them to work.
If it helps when there is no SIM in the tablet I don't get the No SIM present on the home page screen.
I have tried everything even a factory reset but nothing. don't make me buy an iPad - i couldn't stand it!
Other symptons are that the battery life seems to be much shorter now but this could be an illusion.

I have noticed on a number of occasions that I have plugged my Xoom into the charger, and come back to find that it was not being charged. Unplugging the Xoom from the end of the charger made no difference, but unplugging the charger from the mains supply and plugging it in again seems to work. This does NOT happen if you plug the Xoom charger into the mains supply, then attach the Xoom, but only if the Xoom charger has been left plugged into the mains for a while without the Xoom being attached.I think this behaviour is by DESIGN - it appears that the Xoom charger switches off internally if left connected to the mains (but NOT connected to the Xoom) for a while. Disconnecting it from, and reconnecting it to, the mains "reboots" the charger, and it works again. This is a good idea, as it decreases the power consumption of the unit (I'm afraid I have loads of non-connected power chargers left plugged into the mains).

I'm new to Android & xoom and being long in the tooth I am enjoying the up hill learning curve. I recently bought a LUVTAB soft case for the xoom which I liked and thought good value but later noticed that the magnetic and orientation sensors weren't working (androSensor app). It took a while to suss out that it was the case causing the fault. With the XOOM 90% into the case all is well, it isn''t until the Motorola logo at the top goes under the case lip that the sensors stop working. So the question is has anyone else noted this effect?

how to get a Bluetooth alarm app working on the Xoom? Something that connects the Xoom to my phone via Bluetooth and alerts me if the Xoom gets far enough away to lose the Bluetooth connection. I want to use something like 'StayCloseToMe' (in the Market) but I don't see a way to keep the Xoom connecteced to my phone. It doesn't stay connected to the phone like a headset would.

So, most flash enabled sites work great on my Xoom. However, ESPN, one that I frequent often, does NOT unless I do the following:
1. Type about:debug in url bar
2. Go to options and hit the Dump v8 counters
3. Then hit Dump navigation cache
Then I refresh the ESPN page I was on for video and it works.You have to do this every time you visit the site...

I have OCS pushed to my device (WiFi only) in late January. It's been working well.But today I noticed when trying to do Skype that the front camera no longer works. I deleted Skype and a number of other apps thinking they might be the problem but no change.If I start the camera app it just presents a blank screen and then Stops. I deleted all the application data for the camera and the cache and restarted it. Now the camera works and shows an image from the rear camera. But as soon as I try to switch to the front camera, the app hangs as above and won't start again until I Force Stop it and delete the application data.

I just bought a Xoom wifi only because I thought it would be handy to have a tablet that I can use to swap files between my pc and my device, and now I see that though there is an sd slot it's pretty much just a decoration at this point. Does anyone know if there is a way to get this thing to work, or when Motorola/Andriod will fix that?And yes, I do know there are apps that I can use to access PC files over a wireless network, but i wanted to be able to bring a few sd cards worth of movies with me on the road when i travel since after i fill the device up with music and apps there's not a whole lot of room left.

Droid-Life is reporting that Netflix 1.3 is working on Xoom 3.2.[URL]Great news for all of the Honeycomb tablets out there wishing they could have Netflix. Today Netflix updated their application to allow support for additional devices, and we sure didn't expect support for tablets. We have confirmation of it working on ASUS Transformer, Motorola XOOM, and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.

I have a XOOM 3G and a Motorola S305 headset. I am able to pair but the pairing is only for media. I want to be able to use my S305 for GTalk and other VOIP applications. Support told me that the microphone is application independent but those "settings" don't show up. I have used other Bluetooth devices just fine and able to use the mic and media functions.

This is on a brand new Xoom 3G + WiFi. The auto dimming backlight does not dim automatically. The slider works, but "auto" setting does not.

In fact, you may want to try it even if Facebook is working.
Facebook recently made some changes to its application and it won't show up any longer on the Honeycomb market. If you have it on there already it should work.
But I suggest you given FriendMe a try. It's a very nice Facebook app that takes advantage of some Honeycomb capabilites. I use it over the regular Facebook app (mine still works) despite a few bugs.

I have a Verizon Xoom running 3.2, and since the update it appers as though I cannot open a link to a web page, or a document from a file browser (File Manager HD and ES File Explorer) or a link from Newsr feed reader. when I click on a link, the screen darkens a bit as if transitioning, but then nothing happens.

When coming out of sleep mode the touchscreen stops working. Of course several times this has been right at the moment I grab the tablet to show how equal or dominant over the iPad it is.

I am unable to transfer files (pictures specifically) from my Win 7 32 bit PC to my Xoom via USB. I can copy files from my Xoom but not to it. The copy progress bar comes up but stops before completion. I have no problem copying files from my old XP machine so it appears to be something in Win 7 or my particular set up causing the problem.

I have the Motorola keyboard and MS 5000 BT mouse. They each work well individually, however when used together, the keyboard frequently disconnects. When I go to a text field, the software/screen keyboard comes up instead of using the hardware keyboard. If hit a few keys on the hardware keyboard, then it seems to reconnect and I can continue using it. It disconnects again once I leave a text field. I'm using a 3G version of the Xoom, but without 3G activated, so just using WiFi.

I finally got 3.1, so I paired my bt mouse without an issue, and it is now displayed as "connected" on my xoom. Anyway, I see no pointer nowhere, so I don't know if there is a problem with my particular mouse (rapoo 6020) or it's that I don't know how to do something...
