Hi everyone,
i desperately need the USA maps for the Sygic software as i only have the Europe ones installed on my HTC HD 2. Could anyone help me on this?
Also, i have tried to install the I-GO my way on my HTC HD 2 but it wouldn't allow me... does anyone know why?
Last, i've noticed that the HTC HD 2 comes with a pre-installed Co-Pilot and a Google Maps softwares. Could anyone please tell me if these worth using instead?
thank you for your help and time.

CoPilot is decent enough for me. Google maps has no voice turn by turn. Good thing is Bing is around with voice navigation.
Went to their site and they do not even offer that map. Also, even if that map was available, it's shareware meaning you'd have to pay for it and asking for it here would be dumb because that would be asking for "warez" which this site doesn't do. Try anything else. Honestly, almost any other GPS software (both online and offline) offer US maps. Bing and Google maps are the only free online ones though.
I have the HTC G2 (Desire Z) on t-mobile. I just purchased a 32GB iPad 2 last week and am waiting for it to arrive soon. I want to use it's video out features a lot with my TV and I also have an apple bluetooth keyboard for typing and stuff.
My main question is are there any apps that allow an android phone to be used as a remote or mouse for the iPad??
Just any apps that allow android and iOS to play nice together would be great to know about. (and I'm not really asking about games, more so productivity apps or remote control type apps) Thanks!
p.s. Please no fanboy/troll comments please. I seriously am just trying to get the most out of what I have purchased. I love android and I love the iPad 2, and I would love some input on making them play nice together as I can't find anything online besides tablet comparisons
Just found this:
http://phandroid.com/2011/05/05/access-your-android-phone-from-your-browser-using-lazydroid/
I'm thinking using it to browse your phone on the ipad? Could work? Havnt tried it as I haven't received my ipad yet. But I think its worth a look.

I would love to have media controls for my iPad on my Moto X, so I could control my Youtube app. It's that possible?
Hi,
So i have a xoom 2 media edition (uk version) .. cant seem to find much out about rooting/unlocking the bootloader.
does anyone know the status on this ?
sorry to post here, but doesnt seem to be a xoom 2 section yet
me too
got myself one too.
MODs, please create XOOM2/ME forum, especially because Xoom2 and Xoom2ME is based on different chipset (non-tegra, and none of the Xoom1 tricks works on it)
For now, the tablet's bootloader is non-unlockable, all root exploits i have found fail.
I suspect after (if at all) the bootloader is unlocked, some of the Galaxy Nexus tricks will work.
On topic, this tablet urgently needs root because motorola in its [motocast promotion] ingenuity locked firewall ports 80,8080,21 etc. on the tablet... so no FileXpert web/ftp sharing, no samba, no way to access files directly.
got one too
Yeah got one today as well and interest a custom ROM as well also quick question to ask, can you add micro sd card and if yes how? and when using Swype is anybody experience very bad lag?
No sd card slot on xoom 2 - although the cover is there
Cheers zonyx I thought that but on the instructions inside the box it tells.you to take out the placholders and put a sd card in but 16GB should be fine
Sent from my XOOM 2 ME using Tapatalk
yeah, i read the same - even the sim card slot is there also.
its a bit of a downer though that motorola couldnt even be bothered to just completely seal the case
Agree with zeer, could a mod create a sub section for xoom 2 and xoom 2 me?
Maybe one is enough as they both seems to have same hardware.
Who do with need to contact to get a new sub catagory
I believe the ME and Xoom 2 are the same hardware just different screen sizes
If anyone needs any system info etc... I can put my ME up for testing
Sent from my XOOM 2 ME using Tapatalk
I agree. IMHO Xoom 2 ME is the best android tablet available that money can buy (i.e. not including Transformer Prime) but pre-installed software sucks. I have no idea how motorola have managed to decrease the performance by so much but root and CM9 would make this pieace of hardware what it should have been by delivery
xoom2 forum plz ... The tablet is very good .great size (the reason i bought it ) great screen , very good built quality , speakers and camera . Needs update to ics and root access .. The price in europe is good if you compare it with other tegra 2 devices but in few months ti omap processor will be outdated ...
I took my xoom 2 me back, it suffered from awful lag on the browser and WiFi kept disconnecting, maybe a bad build but didn't want to risk it with another maybe ics will solve these but got the HTC flyer for half the price and its a lot better and more responsive with GB on as well
But on a positive I agree the sound quality is very good

Hello i just bought my xoom2 from uk
Hello,
I`m new to the Forum, but a reader since a little while.
I have bought a Xoom 2 Media Edition too from UK, and can only say I like it pretty much sofar.
Hope that ICS 4.0 will come soon.
Is there any knowledge at all if a root hack might be possible and when ?
Many thanks for any kind of input or links at all.
Have been googling around for hours but didn't find anything usable...
EDIT: The Fact of the lacking Storage is really annoying (no USB or SD) but that Motorola blocked the Ports mentioned really sucks. I will contact the Motorola Support for this, after failing to make a ftp connection work for hours ....
Cheers & Greetings

Hi,
I have some blinking texts (and also small blinking squares) sometimes in the market for example.
Entering text in the browser (like what I'm currently doing on xda) is very laggy (with default keyboard and default browser) every striked key takes a little time to display.
Also, the green pointer used to move the cursor and the cursor himself are not well aligned.
Do you also have these issues?
moderators can you create a xoom2 forum please we need it .....
I do notice a little lag from keyboard... I dont use mouse on mine at the moment.
Swiftkey is bit better...
ive put a post on the suggestion thread about a xoom 2 sub forum.

Hi,
I've made a video of freezes I have in fruit ninja (it's only an example, I have the same thing in other games, and many other problems previously described here).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xi8_oKDp3Q (look for example at 0:12, 0:18, 0:29, 0:43, 0:46, ...)
before making this video I have hard reseted my tablet and the only app installed after the reset was fruit ninja.
do you have the same behaviour or mine is defective?
Hello, my friends.
I bought xoom 2 ME also.
1. USB host does not work.
2. no sd card
3. I have light spots on border on dark background
4. 16 hours in standby mode (wifi- off, all applications were closed)
Have you any suggestions?
1. I haven't tried yet, I'll test as soon as I receive my cable
2. like every xoom2 ME
3. I also see these light spots on black screens, it seems like it's normal.
4. You surely have a running app eating your cpu/battery, look in battery usage if you see something, I do not have this problem.
Hi there,
Did a quick search like I am supposed to but didnt find the answer I was looking for. A quick search on our favourite online auction site and there are several listings from Honk Kong for a wireless keyboard/mouse (built in tracker ball) and it says that it is compatible with Xoom Wifi that I have. I doesnt say whether its bluetooth or wifi based as Im sure only the bluetooth would be of any use to me. It only states that the frequency is 2.4G but Im sure that some/all bluetooth devices use this frequency. Anyway, I have asked the seller to confirm how it connects and am awaiting a response. Was just wondering if anyone on here has tried one and if it works or not? Thanks in advance.

I would be very skeptical of electronics coming from Hong Kong. In case you were not aware of this, Motorola does actually make a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse for the xoom. If you do a quick search on eBay for "xoom mouse", you will see several auctions with the combo for less than $60. Just my opinion, but I would rather spend a little more money on something that was not only tested with, but design for my device by the same manufacturer, especially when a little more money is only $60. I also looked at Moto's website and the keyboard is listed at only $40, didn't see the mouse. Here is a link to the keyboard:

You can get the keyboard for cheap at Best Buy. I belive it will cost $20.
I use an Apple Mighty Keyboard.
If you have a Android phone there are mouse apps in the Market in which you could use your phone as a mouse.

Hi there,
Cheers for the input and advice. I had a look on ebay for the official Moto keyboard and mouse set and couldt find any for the $60 price you mentioned. I am UK based aswell so would require the UK model aand not the US key layout. The cheapest I could find from a UK seller was around £85 which seemed a little steep. I would ofcourse prefer the official products for my Xoom and unfortunately Best Buy are shutting up shop in the UK and they dont have any in stock.
Thats why I was just checking to see if anyone had tried the product I mentioned. Ill keep looking and see if I can find the official UK set at a better price. Thanks again.
Melchius
Found one
Hi all,
Just want to say thanks agaon for your input and to wish you all a happy new year. I managed to find a UK official mouse and keyboard set for £64 delivered and decided it would make a nice late christmas pressie to myself. Cant wait for it to arrive as my new Samsung 42" LED smart tv is arriving tomorrow. Good times ahead.
Melchius
Happy as Larry.
Hi all,
Got my keyboard and mouse today and my new TV turned up aswell, a very good day all in all. Am also very pleased that the keyboard and mouse work on my laptop perfectly to boot.

Hi everyone!
I just bought an Asus Transformer TF300T here in Shanghai, just to find myself stuck with an extremely limited android experience. I have android on my phone (a Sony "Ericsson" Xperia mini 18 months old) but on the chinese one I cannot sync anything and basically cannot even use gmail, or google play, or maps..
Can somebody help me fix this pretty huge issue? I'm fairly new to any android mods, I never really did much on my phone..
Thanks a lot!!

Keep searching. I'm from the us so I don't havle experience, but I do remember reading a similar story someone else put about flashing the we firmware on a Chinese tablet. It was a tf300t it was done on. I would imagine you would have to unlock the bootloader and flash the ROM but shouldn't be hard.
