I'm happily running CM7 from SD on my NC, but stock NC had a few things that I miss:
Power-level popups when plugging in or out.
WiFi login help: when connecting, it tests for redirection and offers to forget or pop up the service's login page. This really helps at hotels and on commuter rail.
Magazine subscriptions, but I know that's being worked on.
Anybody got pointers to any of these?
Thanks!
There are a whole bunch of battery widgets that will give you power level at a glance.
As far as magazines go, it's not as complete as the native BN capability, but Zinio can be made to work. Do a search here for "WORKING Zinio on CM7"
I've got a couple of functional subscriptions working.
It's a workaround, but if you go to Settings | Wireless & Networks | Wi-Fi settings you can select any network in range, forget previous or current networks, or manually add networks that don't advertise. Its not automated, but it's pretty straightforward.

I do have the battery level in the status bar, but I'll go look for popups, thanks!

I'll have a look! I was hoping to use BN, to reward them for producing a cheap tablet, but they're not making it easy.

It's not that it doesn't see the access point or connect to it. When it connects, it checks and notices that you don't get full access until you log in (room number, good behavior button, whatever) and pops up the access point's login page. Pretty slick, actually.

That is a pretty slick feature. I'll have to take a look through the market and see if there's anything like that.

Found one! It's called "WiFiBrowserLogin" and I've used it now on the train and on a closed portal network here at work. Seems to work fine. It pops up a browser window with the clickthrough page and off we go.
Thanks for the update. And I'm sure you are aware magazines can now be read through the nook app.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is exciting about web access to the market? Is it supposed to be better than our regular market app?
The Hotness! Logged in. See all of my apps. Can download apps from the website will sync immediately into your phone!
Way to step up android!!
You can browse on your computer, then install the apps OTA, so to speak. Easier to link to apps you like, install them without taking the phone out of your pocket, for example, that kind of stuff. It's just more convenient in some situations.
Well, I just thought of something.... does it work with custom ROM's? I just downloaded something on the net, and it hasn't really downloaded on Bionix V. Maybe I should go on over to the Bionix V thread and ask.
Unfortunately, it is so pointless right now because it can't function correctly over wifi only* connection. It just lists it in my market place under "My Downloads" and not actually installing the application.
I am using wifi only, because 3g is cut off in my office building.

Well I'm pretty sure all developers keep the fingerprint as the old eclair build for proper regular market access. Obviously I have no idea if this website would react differently. Who's to say it's not just as problematic on stock builds though? It is a brand new site after all.
Edit: Well I tried it out for the fun of it. It shows the download trying to take place on my phone, but the progress bar does nothing. Then again, I get this fairly often with the regular market too.
Anyone know why the Citrix receiver force closes after entering the cloud information?
Was really hoping that I could use this for work when I'm out of the office.
It actually looks optimized for tablets...
Nope... really bumming me out
Same problem here... hopefully they fix this soon!
For me doesn't force close but after logging in the application icons are just unresponsive.
Out of curiousity are you using an AGEE? Token auth? I'm gathering details to send to the product managers.
not exactly sure to be honest... I'll give you as much as I can though...
I'm entering...
Username
Password
Domain
Description (although this doesn't matter)
I'm checking "use Citrix Access Gateway"
Gateway Type: Standard Edition
Gateway Authentication: Domain Only
--------
After I enter in the right info (i know this because it works on android phones fine)... it auto logs into the cloud and then FCs when I open the app.
If you need an error report... I can try to get one, otherwise let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks man.

I really hope this works. If you load the app you can tell instantly it loads differently than the phone version... which is sort of odd.
The other day at work a guy got the atrix and the dock... but the thing is loading anything through the phone on the laptop dock is sort of meh because it just expands it as much as it can while keeping it in the right aspect ratios.
So it stretches it out and that's about it, while running it on the phone. There is a minimal few that run on the dock fully.
So that's why I was hoping the Citrix app would run well on the Xoom. I/We can hope!
Well I tested it on my EVO, and it works perfectly. On the Xoom, it connects to my app store but the published apps themselves won't open. I can see the app list, but tapping on them does nothing. A bit odd, and no FC's.
I tried to connect using Enterprise and RSA. I got the force close after I entered my rsa and tried to connect. It thought about it for a minute and then FC. I got the same thing using the Labs Receiver.
Same issues on my end. I put in the information for our external web interface, set to Enterprise and correct auth and immediately after hitting OK I got FCs. I tried both the Citrix Receiver and Lab version, same on both.

Well, if Citrix support is anything like most other front-line support rep's, the person you spoke with may simply not be in the loop with software releases.
Honeycomb is begging for an update to the Citrix Receiver, it would really entice a lot of other admins like me to adopt these into the enterprise. How many of us would love to be able to whip out our tablet and remotely reboot a server?

Awesome news! Tested, working as it should!
anyone having issues with installing a trusted source certificate? like register.com. My xoom errors out saying that the certificate is not a part of the trusted store.
THRILLED to see the CR updated for 3.0! Works just as well as the previous version for 2.2. This app alone (for me) makes the Xoom well worth it's purchase price and monthly dues.
It always worked on my EVO, but a tablet screen is oh so sweeeet.
So I dont know how many of you have the tablet yet, and have played with it, but here is my short wish list of things that I am SURE will be added in revisions to come.
1. Clear all notifications button - If someone knows how to do this, just let me know.
2. Gmail Instant HTML email rendering - Instantly show email images - NOT make me press - Show Images (is this like patented by Apple or something, why havent the done this on the mobile side either)
3. Gmail Autofit Reading pane - Auto fit the email to the right pane, in addition to number 2.
4. Task manager - They missed this first on the mobile, then they added it back in, now on the tablet - i dont see a rudimentary task manager. Regardless of whether it affects the functionality or not.
Anyone else have opinions or additions
R.
-USB on the tablet would have been nice
-multiple exchange email account support (activesync)
More when I get mine in this week.
I'd like to be able to move the notifications and menu buttons to the top of the screen instead of always at the bottom. This is probably a honeycomb thing. That's because I keep hitting them by accident while trying to type. If anyone knows how to do that let us know.

I use Touchdown for Tablets (works nicely, but I dont know if you can do more than one account. You can do a corporate account (Exchange Activesync) with the built email client as well. Is that what you are looking for? or just multiple support. (Remember there is always IMAP as well)

setting-applications you can manage tasks (shut them down, see what is running, etc) I believe. I only had my tab for a couple of hours before asus bricked it, but i'm pretty sure this is there.

I am not sure if honeycomb allows that or not, gingerbread certainly does not.

Lil help? Still tetherless here...
IIRC the TF needs an infrastructure Wi-Fi connection, not ad-hoc.
Most tethers are ad-hoc.
Just guessing from what I've read elsewhere, and experiences I've had tethering other devices.
When browsing the marketplace, installing an app and then going back my scrolled position in the marketplace is lost. This is very frstrating and makes browsing and installing from the marketplace a pain.
Am I missing something?
Cheers, John
Same here. Another issue: I can search and find apps to install (for instance "Root Explorer" that I wanted to use to replace wpa_supplicant) but when I click the link to view the details and install it, I get a dialog that says the detailed view can't be found. If I click OK, it goes back to the search results. If I instead click back, I can read the detailed view, but clicking "Install" results in it telling me the application can't be found. Looks like Google is blocking the app.
+1 same problem here! (Using the tablet outdoors and I must say the feeling is great but....the screen is awful!!!! I can see my every detail reflected in the screen ...lol)
By the way is there no way to comment or rate an app from the market app???
Is there perhaps a way of installing the gingerbread marketplace app?

I've been having the same problem today. Lots of Apps in the market seem to be giving this response but if you try and see the details of and install a featured app then there's no problem. I think the Android Market may be having a few issues today. Try using the Android Market website instead, worked for me.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
I'll give that a go, thanks
yeah I noticed the same thing
I would also like to know where to rate and comment on apps
I hate it loses position on back. I like to browse through the app list to what is available for us honeycomb users but the fact that it goes back to the start makes this a pain in the *ss.
i agree, this is horrible, especially when browsing a long list. The marketplace is pretty average all round really.
Would it be too much to ask for a dedicated tablet section?
Just chiming in agreeing that this is a real pita.
Another +1 for the position loss on back being a pain in the ass, especially if you've just scrolled through 400 or so apps only to have to scroll through them again.
+1 here as well. I'd also love to see a section in the market just for the newest apps. I still can't figure out how to comment or rate anything there either. Some of the stuff I have tried and had to just uninstall I would love to be able to comment on. Any suggestions?
I use the online site
Regarding rating apps, here's what I've found:
Menu + Purchase History
Click the name - pick to open with browser
Rate it from the browser.
Yeah, it sucks. Honeycomb fail.
+1 on losing position in the marketplace when going back to it from an app page - very frustrating. I've also had numerous occasions when an app wouldn't properly download or install - the animated bar would continue but no notifications would show up and/or the install would fail leading to the animated bar on the app page continuing to animate but no progress. Going back then finding the app again then going into the app page and clicking install again seems to be the only way to kick start it.
UPDATE FYI: As far as I can tell from what I am hearing, this update is the same as the one in SOAK right now. I do not know if this is true, but the version numbers add up. Once the update goes live, we will see what happens.
I figured I would put this little change guide up for some of those who are on the fence about updating. So far I have updated and couldn't be happier. I will continue to update this when I find a new change or feel like going into more detail on some of these items.
Changes in 2.3.4
- Revamped UI: New MotoBlur, Different Color Scheme, New Icons
- New Apps: Rich Location, New Tasks App, Music Store, Help Center, Mobile HotSpot
- Updated Apps: Gallery App, Camera App, Camcorder App, Email App, Task Manager, Text Messaging App, Music App, Calendar App
- Profiles option: Choose between Everyday, Work, and Weekend
- New Settings: Media Audio Effects, SD Card Notifications, In-Pocket Detection, Unknown Sources and others
Motoblur -
- UI: The update implements the New Motoblur that has been seen on a few other phones. Included in this UI update is the ability to use multiple profiles. The Menu Dock has changed along with some locations of settings and menus.
We Also have some new Icons for several programs such as the Internet Brower. The Transition screens and the lock screen effect has also changed. When you turn off the screen now, it acts like the Gingerbread animation (CM7). The apps drawer also has sorting features now via a drop down menu.
Update: New feature added to the Notification Bar. You can now remove individual notifications from the list without affecting the rest of the notifications.
New Apps -
- Rich Locations: A new app similar to Google Maps that gives you local places, couples, and even local singles (match.com). You can even view local singles profiles.
- New Tasks App: Included is a tasks app that is rather quick and easy to use. Gives the option to send notifications to the task bar, and persistant reminders. Several different options for priority. No sync to google tasks though.
- Music Store: Well this one is rather obvious and if you don’t know how to use an app store or music store, please return your phone and purchase a dumb phone.
- Help Center: Guided Tours, Tips and tricks, User guide and FAQS.
- Mobile Hotspot: I have not tested this one, but from the menu options you are able to manage the hotspot information and the actual devices allowed to connect by typing in their mac addresses.
Updated Apps -
- Gallery App: Now shows Facebook photos, Camera Roll, My Library, Online Photos from Facebook. New Layout.
- Camera App: Changed the buttons to match the rest of MotoBlur
- Camcorder App: The HD video can now record more than 30 minutes at a time (using the full size of the storage medium), extra click to turn on the LED lights.
- Email, Calendar, and Text Messenger: Just UI improvements
- Task Manager: Seems to have small improvements, but basically the same as before with just a UI revamp
- Music App: Similar Changes as the Camera App. However there is now an option that allows Moto to identify your music and send “anon” info about your music preferences to Moto.
Multiple Profiles-
- Profiles: You now have three profiles to choose from (work, Everyday, and Weekends). As far as I can tell the same ringtones, silent settings, and what not apply to all three profiles and can not be individually set for each profile. It looks as if the Home Screens are the only things that change with the profile (widgets, background, app shortcuts).
The widgets in multiple profiles along with any live wall paper may contribute to battery drain similar to using multiple launcher. I have not tested this as I need my phone and do not want to waste battery testing it when I am still using it. If anyone wants to give it a go and post their results, please do so.
New Settings-
- Media Audio Settings: Multiple settings that include bass boost. May have been on the Froyo version but I have never seen them.
- SD Card Notifications: You can finally turn off the damned sound notification when your SD card is added or removed and when you boot the phone.
- In-Pocket Detection: It locks the phone when you put it in your pocket.
- Unknown Sources Checkbox: Yup it’s finally here and you can now check it and install the amazon app store without having to root your phone.
- Windows Media Sync: Allows you to choose where to sync your media from your PC.
- Secure Network Notification: You can now be notified when a secure network is available
- Peer to Peer (Ad-Hoc) Channel: Choose a channel to setup a Adhoc network.
- Text Message Reply: Gives the option to turn off the Send a text message to a phone caller.
- Contacts Settings: Allows you to change which contacts are visable. Rather nice if you ask me
Updates:
- SD Card Data Encryption: Finally a feature we all wanted!
- Device Encryption: No more police officers looking at your phone...at least in some districts.
- Blue tooth Bypass: Allows you to bypass your bluetooth device and use the voice commands on the phone vs. the bluetooth.
- Advanced IPSec VPN: Not entirely certain if it works or not. We all know it didn't before, so if anyone can test it and let me know, that would be great.

For the most part, rich locations is an rss feed app mixed with a gps mapping system that gives you local information such as restaurants, coffee shops, local singles ads, and coupons from various websites such as yelp, match.com and so on.
Sort of like places on google maps but with a twist. I doubt I will use it often around town, but it would come in handy when I was on vacation and what not.

would like to add that this includes the "new" version of the Forest Live wallpaper, complete with blue Gingerbread theme to it and if you tap on a blank space, a pop-up will appear with the current location and temperature! Tap TWICE to go directly to AccuWeather to see the full forecast! someone must have read my mind because that was exactly what I knew was missing from the original one that came with the Atrix in 2.2....
I don't want facebook photos. I want contact image sync and nothing else from the gimmick motoblur is.
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.

You can turn off the facebook photos in the gallery settings. Just fyi

I am enjoying my update for what it's worth.
New Blur!
I have to say, I kind of liked Motoblur's functionality in Froyo, but it was just so damn slow... The new Motoblur (or whatever they want to call it now) is finally usable, and looks very nice
Some parts seem a bit slower now (e.g., the integrated webpart in Pulse), but still very smooth.
I don't regret updating - finally a Moto Android worth having!
it's awesome.
I am really liking the new screen off animation.
Anyone's Timer section of the "Alarm & Timer" app not working?
Still has the same crappy selection of ring and notification tones.

Hater.
Seriously though, seems this update is what this phone should of been at launch. Definitely worth the wait
