Motorola Xoom :: Temp Display In Notification Bar?
Oct 25, 2011
The temperature display in my notification bar updates only sporadically. I noticed some discussion of this in the past, but no answers. I'd like to know either how to make it update more frequently or turn it off!
I ordered my Xoom from amazon.com, and exactly one day after their 30 day return period my tablet awakened showing only vertical lines. I am able to do a forced power-up (Volume up, power) but all you can see is the tablet going through the appropriately-colored start sequence, complete with the pulsating blue and purple honeycomb sequence - but with only somewhat compressed vertical lines. You can't really see where anything is on the screen, which has made it impossible to really acheive a factory reset start sequence. I've tried searching for this problem and haven't found it anywhere. I was wondering if anyone else had seen this.
Motorola suggested checking with place of purchase for return/exchange policy and/or returning the tablet to them. Mainly I'm curious if any others have experienced this and to let anyone who is know that they aren't the only one.
I love my Xoom, and after only 36hrs without it I am already missing it. Not looking forward to another couple of weeks.
Wondering if anyone else has experienced 5-10 thin blue lines/streaks in their display (red on a black background). I first noticed the issue when using my Kindle app a few months ago. Eventually they disappeared but now they've returned. It has been several days and like last time, don't go away with a device reboot or reset.
For the first time, I took my Xoom outdoors to see if it could log on to my neighbor's WiFi. The display was so washed out in the sunshine as to be unreadable. It looks so great indoors that I was somewhat shocked.
I have wifi XOOM with ICS 4.04. I had never realised there was a notification light until recently when my daughter with the same model came back from college and I saw the light flashing on her unit.I then realised that my unit's light has never flashed on any notifications, whether they be updates waiting, new Gmail etc. I know that the notiifcation light option has to be on in settings (which it is) and the unit has to be in standby mode with the screen off but even with both those conditions active and notifications pending, there is no light.
Xoom - LTE (ICS). I have HD docking station and would like to know if there is an option to keep the display on. My Android 4 phone/docking station has options to show time/date. Does the Zoom (ICS) have options as well? If so, where can they be found?
After the update to android 3.1 my Xoom no longer plays the notification tone when I get Email, Calendar notifications, Twitter messages etc. etc. But it plays fine in the system settings menu.
I have the original Xoom 4G, Android 4.0.4 and use it every day. Here's my issue .... When I delete an email message, I get a new email notification shortly after. If I delete 3 messages, I get a notification that I have 3 new messages.Of course when I check, there are none. I tried removing the email account and reconfiguring it, but that didn't help.
My notification light is blinking. it is blinking slow and is dim white when lit. Is this an error code? I have no emails and I'm not showing any updates. It has done this before I reset my Xoom and it went away. I can reset it agin but I'm curious as to what can cause it.
I see you have updated the locked update topic. Once again I did not receive any email notification.I did verify that the topic is aware that I should be receiving them.
I receive lots of email from friends and family that contain pictures that have been inserted between lines of text. They show up fine in outlook and webmail, but on the Xoom they show up with tiny placeholders (boxes with green question marksressing on "show pictures" does not help. Emails with regular attacements can be viewed by clicking on attachements, and advertising pics are shown after clicking "show pictures" Only embedded or inserted pictures are not displayedI have seen posts about this on the android forum, but could not find any answers.Hopefully there is a solution, especially since the Xoom has the latest
I have a XOOM WiFi I bought from Staples on launch day. A couple of days ago the screen started turning blue. If the device sits unused (such as overnight) the next morning it is fine for about a minute or two. Then it turns blue again. The blue corruption moves. If I try to scroll up on a list that is already scrolled as far as it can go a blue "halo" appears at the bottom of the screen for as long as I hold my finger on the screen. It disappears after a few seconds. I've already tried a soft reset. I haven't tried a factory wipe yet as I was hoping to avoid that.
After a few days of using my Xoom (not powering it down) the notification light begins blinking for no reason that I can discover. I have used Android App Killer to shut down everything that is running and I cannot find a reason for the light to be on. Even disabling the light in settings will not stop it, nor will turning off notifications. When I reboot the tablet, it works as normal again for a few days. This started after I upgraded to Jelly Bean.
In the last two weeks, something is causing my 4G/LTE Xoom to ring like a phone, but there is no notification and no trace of any app running that would cause such a ringing. I have System Monitor installed, and tried closing/stopping processes one by one, but I could not identify the cause. When I stop ALL applications/processes at once, the ringing stops. In fact, besides rebooting, this is the only way to stop the ringing. I have tried looking at running processes/apps when it occurs, but no app with a ringtone like this is apparent. I know it is a rogue application, but I cannot isolate or identify it Lookout and McAfee both show no issues when Xoom is scanned.
I recently purchased the xoom 32 wifi and got it up and running. It is using the 3.2 system and immediately when I turned it on I noticed that the boot up screen (blue honeycomb screen) was very blurry. Once it booted up I went on the browser and noticed that some of the ad boxes on the browser, dolphin and default were fuzzy and grainy. I also noticed that videos that opened and played from web pages were a little blurry. This is not the case with my friends aseus. We did a side by side. Is this normal for the xoom? Especially the blurry boot up screen?
I have noticed that the WIFI- Network Notification ( Notify me when an open network is available) is ticked after the 3.1 updateI am presuming this means its always looking for a open network and chewing up power doing so.To save some battery, and alien networks, untick the boxUnless you ok with open network hunting and shorter battery life.
1) I have recorded a couple of videos with my phone, They have sound when played on the phone but when transferred to my computer the sound is suddenly not there anymore. What has gone awry?
2) While the Triumph has way more memorythan my OV had I am finding myself hovering around the 30% point on the actual phone memory. When I imported my pic and video files to my computer from the phone tons of non-pictures (attachments, logos from sports teams who pages I might have opened once, twitter and facebook logos, logos from various apps, attachments from emails etc) showed up in the photo file on the computer. Could this be what is causing some of the issues? I am cleaning the cache quite regularly and 84% available on the SD card still (and it is still the one that came with the phone). And if it is part of the cause how do I get it to quit saving all of these things? I also can't seem to find where they are on the phone right now (tried using the Android Assist file manager).
I tried the HDMI output connected to my 46" tv the other night and liked the result. However the "navigation bar" at the bottom of the Xoom screen is not displayed on the tv. It would be handy to have this as part of the hdmi output so that I could navigate from across the room with my bluetooth mouse.
I have never been able to check for updates from my home PC - I can sync songs etc OK, but ever since Day 1, every time ive connected, I get a message "The server is temporarily unavailable due to maintenance. Come back later to check for updates"This is clearly not true, as I plug the unit into my laptop 2 feet away, and it has no problem connecting to the server.Both have identical MotoCast SW (1.2.9) and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, to no avail. I can see no difference between the 2 setups. I am especially anxious as I am awaiting the pedometer fix being discussed in another thread, and my main PC is univ
Please note a couple of minor bugs.1) Date displayn the options of the MotoACTV device you can set the date display format to the ISO unambiguous yyyy/mm/dd format, which is what I prefer. On the motoactv web app Under Display Preferences/Data Format, there is only dd/MM/yyyy and MM/dd/yyyy. Please provide the more sane unabiguous yyyy/mm/dd format so this can be consistent.) Display Units My Display Units are set to Metric. However on the MotoACTV web app when I select Workouts/Latest Workout/Workout Stats, the distance and pacing are recorded in km, but the elevation shows in ft. I am not sure at this point if it is the 'ft' label is wrong, or the actual numeric display and/or conversion is wrong, but you guys I'm sure can figure this out. You can verify this here:
on my E63 these would only display when mail was recieved, however on the E72 they remain displaying with a (x) where x is 0 or the number of emails unread.
I am a new HTC user and there is one thing that is bothering me about the software and that is the new text message notification. Is there a way for this notification to only say "new message" instead of saying who it is from and what the message says before the message is even opened from the home screen?
When I unlock my phone, there is no notification bar where it usually displays BBMs, App updates etc. The bar that contains this has disappeared and I cannot see my notifications. I don't know where the setting for this thing is or how to fix it.
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?
Is there no way to have a little battery % meter displayed next to the battery icon in the notification bar? It was super easy to find on my M8, but I'm just not seeing the option on here.
My Lumia 610 doesn't display notification (unread messages) for outlook when the screen is locked. However it does display the notification such as missed calls, text messages, face book messages, Gmails, Yahoo emails, Windows live emails. But nothing for Outlook.
I'm not familiar with Maemo (Linux), but in Windows there are temporary folders that start filling up and need emptying every so often.
Now I've installed and uninstalled a few apps on my N900 and opened a few email attachments and in Windows there would be left-over temporary files that should automatically be deleted but aren't, and because of this there are windows apps designed to remove all unnecessary temp files and folders as well as cleaning out the registry.Does the same sort of thing happen in Linux/Maemo? Does Maemo use a Registry that can get 'dirty'?
When viewing an email attached image, I can view its details which tell me it's stored in a folder called something like '69987334' inide a folder called 'var'. Where is this 'var' folder? And is the image and folder deleted when I close the viewer or am I building up a collection of viewed attachments?
