I love my xoom

After reading all the problems people were and are having. I was very nervous to receive mine. But I have had it a few days now and am in love with my xoom. I haven't had one reboot or anything. One force close on an unsupported app. It has played ALL my videos so far. (Rock player) I don't have high quality 1080p videos though. Anyone else not having problems? Or is the xoom a bust?

i love your xoom too
I've had minimal issues with mine. I already started a thread for those, however they were just minor glitches that a simple reboot solved. I have been unable to get 1080 to play on my xoom though, so I'm currently rocking 720. Maybe I should look into rock player, I'm just using stock.

I love my Xoom too. I've had it since Thursday and have been playing with it off an on. I'm impressed with the battery life. I haven't had too many problems with it so far just one browser force close and the Weatherbug app misbehaved so I manually closed it causing its widgets not to show up properly on the homescreen until I rebooted. Other than that it has been smooth sailing. I can't wait to see more tablet apps!

Only 3 peoples love self xoom? This is so sad! I just wait GSM version and realy think, maybe select another Tablet?(((

No, not only three people! lol. I love mine as well. And for the Weatherbug FC, that does not count because it is beta.

I love mine!

That is pretty sad. Post a xoom problem thread and that mofo will fly with posts. Mine is arriving Tuesday. I'll know then. If I don't come back and post, you will know what happened.

Love mine.

Usually, the "complainers" are the loudest. Satisfied people are satisfied, no reason to shout about it.

Wife loves the one I bought her. I will love my wifi only one when I it comes out...It will only get better with time but love it right now.

I love my xoom too!!!!

I love mine too! ...except the stupid portfolio case nicked a piece of rubber off the top edge which makes me sad

Mine's fantastic.

I don't love mine but I do not regret the purchase. The hardware is fine but the software has some ways to go. Still overall it is an interesting platform.

My xoom is beastly yo. Lol and I work for t-mobile hehe

The Xoom is probably the best tech device I've ever bought. It's blazing fast, easy to use, top quality device. Great hardware, and fantastic software, that should only improve additionally. No real problems whatsoever, even if there were some hiccups the overall experience would push that aside. Only minor quibble I can even think up is lack of Google Voice support at launch... but that's just being picky. Family and friends flock to use it or just watch whenever I pull it out. My favorite way to browse the internet and use Google Reader, compared to either my Captivate or my MacBook Pro... there just isn't a comparison, the Xoom blows them anyway. I love this thing.

Thank you Asus

Just wanted to add a happy voice to the discussion here. I'm involved in social media as a consultant, I must always be on, always connected, using my TF via a wifi hotspot on my phone is a LOT more pleasant an experience than working via my phone with it's tiny little screen
Love sitting outside on my porch,working while sipping cofee without having to lug a hot,heavy laptop with me.
Thank you Asus for this terrfic device, I also thank you also for listening & responding to the feedback users are giving you on this forum!

i agree, this is a pretty awesome device

Ya~
ASUS did it well this time. Good job !

same here.
The only thing stopping me from using the TF exclusively is that there is ONE app not available yet....when it is...bye bye laptop....you' stayin' at home!

Lol Wooot

I agree, this is the best Android tablet release to date. ASUS has done a great job in designing (and pricing) this device.
I use it for business, and this weekend my wife asked if she could use it to look up something on the internet - it is now on her birthday wish list. She is an iPhone user, BTW.

I love my TF a little more each day! I love the freedom it gives me, no more having to pack and lug a laptop bag around with me!

Its the unhappy folks who tend to make their voice heard, while the happy rest of us enjoy life, right? glad to see someone give praise to the awesome device Im sittin on my porch drinkin a beer, listening to the radio and browsing the web on my tablet right now (colorado) Much love ASUS, and asus, please give us tegra3 transformer2 as soon as possible! haha

lol.. I just posted my own TF love post before reading this one. I totally agree!

If he's referring to netflix then just use splashtop and stream it as it runs GREAT on the tablet. Being able to text message, make a call, and watch netflix is a great feeling
I used to ask myself what was the point of a tablet and now I can finally understand the answer to that question.

Next week I think I am reordering mine. I sent it back to Amazon because it was having problems, but I am moving in a few days so I will wait until the move is done.
I like the lazy factor of a tablet I still feel much more productive on my PC, but I can't lounge around and poke at things on it. I also kind of miss dungeon defenders... I was thinking about the fact that the TF2 is just over the horizon, but I can afford to get a new TF and gift that to my little sister. That seems like a win-win if I ever heard one.

Amazon is sold out now but they last had the B6O revision so the next batch will probably be the same or higher. If you're going to reorder, now would be a good time.

Living with the Galaxy Note: Thoughts After 5 Days

Friends,
I thought I should share this review video I came across. I have gone through so many galaxy note reviews, but this has been straight up the best. Really feel connected, and I think a lot of the galaxy note current users who love the phone would connect with the review a lot.. and those who are still thinking of buying a Note, definitely check it out.

Excellent review but you should have posted it in the review thread, I can smell the Ganja...

Interesting. I've come to the stage with the SGS2 where I need to gift it to my partner & get a new phone, it being a bit small now it seems to me. I've wondered about the SGS3 but that may not be a lot bigger, 4.65 rumor? So bottom line, the Note is really OK for everyday use?

the Note is supreme, the one to rule them all...The only thing I can see missing is IR port, so it could be used as a TV remote, then it would have been the complete phone..the ultimate..
Ericsson P800 had everything, it was supreme...crappy screen and touch function, but not far from the best.

That's amazing! I congratulate you on your great luck!

Same opinion, this Note is great.
So great that my Archos Tablet is lying on my table and I nearly don't use it anymore

A great review, and he's very entertaining! I agree with him about the size and power of the note making it more than a phone. Any future upgrade will have to be to something very similar to my note.

Great video. I think alot of people thought the same way when they first take a look at it.
Its funny how normal the note is once you get use to it. You only really notice how big it is when you use another device.

Great review couldn't have said it better myself!

Yeah i'm subbed to that guy....great vids! And yes....the Note is the BEST!

It is an awesome phone. I've had mine for about a month mine. Switched from an iPhone 4S. Took me a while to get accustomed but after trying multiple roms and kernels, I now don't think I'd go back to the 4S.

mine arrived yesterday, and its a great device, other than I am still wiping drool from it..

Upgraded from SGS2 last week (loved the S2) for the screen... VERY happy!

Why must all you note users taunt me D:! My paycheck isn't until this Friday!

Need a detail review

i want a users review about the device, most tech sites are being paid to show manipulated results. the only feedback that is worthy enough is the direct user review.

I've been watching Technobuffalo's reviews on products for years, he always gives his honest opinion and isn't afraid to tell everyone if a product sucks.

Not sure if it's paid. But I "WTF"ed when I saw S3 camera got 7 and Lumia 920 got 6.

Yeah, with all the controversy coming out about Samsung's paid 'user reviews', I would say definitely check out Anandtech's review - amazingly thorough and very hones. Covers casual and hardcore phone nerd interests very well.

Here's my review of the phone, trust me I got no extra money from HTC

Hey folks, planing to say good bye to my S2 to HTC One, but the questions i have are that the call quality, wifi reception, signal reception, battery and ear phone experience, any goods in HTC One?

Oh wow, the 9 for the S4 is weird. He/she is definitely a big fan of the S4 camera. The discrepancy between the rates are too high to be taken seriously.

I have also switched from s2 to one.
Call quality - very clear and loud. Perfect.
Wifi - i have recorded speeds of 25mb download
Battery - solely depends on case by case basis i have not used it to play games or watch videos yet and lasts me days and a half before it dies.
Ear phone - its ok for free ear phone. Other members in this forum rate these better.
Hope it helps.

This phone is WAYY better than my nexus 5.

Absolutely loved my nexus 5. Was a great phone but I wanted a bigger screen. I really thought about the OPO for a while and finally pulled the trigger. Two days in and in couldn't be happier. Battery life is insane, camera is so much better, feels way lighter, double the storage, and I got it for the same price I sold my nexus for.
Only cons I see so far is 3rd party accessories are lacking big time and doesn't seem to be as many ROMs but stock rooted is working great for me anyways. So glad I went this route.

Just be patient. Due to the whole invite system, these phones are not that popular at the moment. Once they will become easily available for everyone, I'm sure the accessories market will explode.
As to the "slim offer" of ROMS you're refering to... You should have another look really, as there are quite allot of them.

i hope so, cause the nexus 5 is couple years old.

it is almost one year only, sorry. seems a lot longer for some reason.

I cant wait
I cant wait to get mine in the mail. I am currently using a Nexus 5 so this is great to hear.

Feels way lighter though its 30grams heavier? Wow... that's a huge difference for a phone.

Ya feels lighter to me at least. Maybe because its not so compact.. I don't know. Don't care if there's already a thread either. Lol. My voice must be heard.

Came from a Nexus 5 myself which is in my opinion one of the greatest smartphones ever made, so I had high hopes for this and it hasn't let me down. Although I did love the feel and size of the N5, the OPO simply outclasses it in every category. I may even keep this phone as my backup when the Nexus 6 drops instead of selling it towards the purchase cost. Although I love my OPO I'm definitely getting that ish, I've been dreaming of a Moto-made Nexus for years. And if I don't I still have the next best thing
