Motorola Xoom :: Utility Of Tablet Devices?
Apr 16, 2011
As tablet wars have inevitably emerged and one is compared against another; I have to wonder --how much utility is the tablet getting from those who purchase them. Personally, I've been using it to watch streaming TV to which I don't have over cable, listen to local police & emergency scanners, listen to music from the 'cloud', play a few rounds of "Angry Birds" as well as streaming with "Live Radio". I've actually used the Google Navigator once and it's been very useful when finding a final destination.I don't know if I'm using the device to the "best" of its ability, if not, what else can one do with it? I've recently seen some hardware and software that turns an iPad into an O-scope, are there projects out there fot the Android market following the same lead?

I have a zoom tablet that someone else was using for a while and at times it seems like it defaults to their google account information. Where do I look to clear out their information and make sure my login information is the default information.

I turn on my tablet and the screen freezes saying something about starting troubleshooting or something error. I can not shut off or do anything. it gets real hot and i have to wait till the battery goes dead in order for it to shut off. I bought from Staples and i was 1 day past the 14 day return policy and they refused to help. I only had it 2 weeks and this is the 3rd time it happened

As soon as I start it up to set everything up, the stock launcher force closes. The tablet automatically reboots. Back to the set up screen, another stock launcher force close.I finally get into the home screen and do a data reset. I get back to installing everything I had on my previous xoom and just out of curiousity I ran a linpack. The score comes back at 35 which is pretty normal for a stock xoom.A good 30 minutes later, after doing the normal. Setting up my home screen, browsing, etc, I am noticing a very significant slow-down of the response I'm getting on the xoom. I run another linpack and I have dropped 9 Mflops.
So, did I get another defective unit, or is there something I can do to fix this? Best Buy has no more xoom 3's to replace with this one, so if I have to return it, I will be stuck without a xoom. [removed, considering I have a data plan. Motorola won't replace it, they will only offer to repair it. So, send away my xoom for 6 days and not even for LTE, just to be repaired.I'm pretty stuck on what to do next. I really like the xoom, but I'm not going to keep it if it can't perform.

I recently got new Xoom tablet from my senior and I connected it to my Win 7 - 32 bit laptop via a USB cable and it says the device drivers are not installed.I have tried:
1) Enabling USB debugging mode
2) Downloading motohelp drivers from your site the latest one.
3) Switch my tablet on and off and on
4) Restart my machine couple of times.
5) Tried on all the available USB slots on my laptop.
6) Updating drivers via Device Manager ->Update driver.
7) Followed all other solutions which are mentioned on forums and internet.It worked on my Win 7 64 bit in my office but not even getting detected on my IBM T461 Win 7 32 bit laptop.I used USB cable ofmy HTC desire smart phone both times.

Still seems to require the phone fields even though I don't have a Moto phone (just a Wifi Xoom). Also, the serial number selection is not clear since 3G users seem to use the MEID, but I've been asked for my Wifi MAC address before. This time I tried to simply enter my "serial number" as stated in the Xoom status screen. But I can't get past #1 issue above, it is trying to require me to enter a Moto phone as well.

After running an update I found that a new app had been install called Citrix Receiver. I have looked at what this app does, as well as doing multiple google searched for information about it and it is definately something that I will never be using. As such I tried to uninstall it but there does not appear to be any way to do so. I have approached Citrix with this issue, they refered me to my service provider who then refered me to here The other part of the problem with it is that it keeps identifying that there is an update available for the app, which I have not downloaded, and whenever I try to update other apps that I use on a daily basis, skipping the update to Citrix Receiver seems to make the updates to the other apps get skipped as well.Mototola Xoom Tablet Model Number MZ601, running Android Version 3.2, Citrix Receiver App version 2.1

Since updating my xoom, I have had a long delay from 5 to 10 minutes on the honeycomb powering up. Very frustrating, I avoid shutting off my tablet, just let it shut down after a few minues.

I recently purchased a Motorola Xoom 3g tablet. When I try to boot it up, it does not even stop at the "Choose Country" screen but goes directly into a blue screen with the above mentioned error message. It does not even allow me to connect to my WIFI.

I have a XOOM Wifi Only Edition, When Volume Up button is pressed, the tablet reboots. This started to happen after the ICS update, of late, just for no apparent reason, the tablet reboots when using it. especially playing some games...Now, it is not usable, it just reboots in a loop, sometimes when it reboots sucessfully, its hardly stable for a minute or two then it reboots again.I have not dropped it or it never had any accidents.

With recent changes in the market for Android tablets, it appears there is speculation that Intel may be positioning tablets based on the Atom processor. While Honeycomb has not been fully adapted to the Atom, Intel demoed an Atom driven Android tablet in Bejing this week.Here is some of the article's key content:"So, with tablets based on chips from companies like Nvidia (Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab) and Texas Instruments (PlayBook) not likely flying off the shelf, are Intel's chances any better now? "The door to this market is open. The longer it takes for these other products to get rolling, the more opportunity there is for Intel," said Richard Shim, an analyst at DisplaySearch.
And others see an opening for the world's largest chipmaker. "Though Apple has set the bar, it's not going to be alone in this space. Right now it looks like Android will have the majority of tablet sales(outside of Apple), and Intel has a dedicated team of people to make Android work the best it can on its Atom chips. They have a lot of resources they can apply," said Jack Gold of consulting firm J.Gold Associates, who wrote about this yesterday.And Intel, despite its unimpressive start, has another advantage. Atom is not just another cookie-cutter design from U.K.-based ARM. Intel can bring to bear all of its manufacturing, security, and media processing know-how, according to Gold, who believes it will continue to whittle away successfully at the inherent power-efficiency advantage of ARM chips. "My take is that Intel can capture 20 to 25 percent of that remaining market outside of Apple."
Shim has a few words of caution, however. "It all depends, of course,how well Honeycomb (Android 3.0) runs on Atom," said Shim. "That's a big if." And Shim also warns Intel not to put too many eggs in the MeeGo basket, which is a hard sell to developers in a field crowded with Hewlett-Packard's WebOS and RIM's QNX, in addition to Android." url...What do you think about the possibility of Intel Atom competing with the Tegra 2 processor for Android tablet marketshare? If Google has to support mutliple tablet processors with Honeycomb and eventually Ice cream, will that create more bottlenecks or opportunities and options?

The CNBC Real-Time financial markets app is getting great reviews as a Tablet app.I'd love to get this for my Atrix, but in the Android Market, we cannot comment on an app that we haven't installed.I cannot install the app because it is not compatible with my Atrix. Vicious circle.Anyone know of a way to influence getting a non-tablet version of this, or how to get this to be compatible with our Atrix?

How do you delete videos and pictures from the tablet? The only delete icon I see is on the home screens when you want to remove a widget. But going to the videos and pictures themselves, I don't see any place where I'm given an option to delete. I tried holding down on the videos and icons and they don't do anything.

Bluetooth can't find any devices, and can't be found from the other devices.
I have flashed MMB29S via flashtool - doesn't work.
I've updated OTA to MMB29Q (the last one) - nothing changed. What I can do with it?
I am sure that other devices' bluetooth is alright, i've tested it. The problem is in Nexus 5.

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?
