Bluetooth tether cripples Droid X - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever I tether my Xoom to my phone using bluetooth the DX becomes completely unusable. It gets very hot, and after a few hours it reboots. Both units are running stock ROMs with root. The phone isn't overclocked. Xoom is running Tiamat 1.4.3 1.6. This happens on FroYo and the recent GB release. Any help?

[Q] Freeze with adrynalyne kernel and VirusROM

Has anyone running an adrynalyne kernel with VirusROM been experiencing freezes (ie. phone becomes unresponsive)?
I was running VirusROM RC1B3 with adrynalyne's 4.4.2 kernel and was frequently getting freezes during a call. I could continue with the call but otherwise the phone would be completely unresponsive. After a battery pull, everything was back to normal. I'd say I would get about 1 per day, and they would only occur during calls.
I tried downgrading to the 4.3a kernel, but still had this problem.
I was also getting these both with and without SetCPU enabled.
Today I switched back to the latest Ziggy kernel and haven't had a problem yet (although I've only had a couple calls).
Any one else experiencing this?
Thanks!!

[Q] thunderbolt tethering

Really torn between getting a thunderbolt or a charge. I'm leaning towards thunderbolt because I like to use custom roms and the support seems better for that. I saw a review that said tethering on the thunderbolt can be problematic. have other people seen that? If so does it go away if you change to a custom rom or is it a hardware issue?
I had major problems with dropping 4g with the stock tether but after switching to one of the wireless tether apps for root users I have no more issues at all on my thunderbolt.

good to know. the only thing that's holding me back right now is the battery life. I could live with a screen that's not as vibrant. I have the incredible right now, and have never made it through a day without plugging it in or swapping batteries. It's more or less broken for me now (you can see my other posts if you're curious), and I suspect all the battery swapping was a large factor in the issues I'm seeing now. I'm worried if I get the thunderbolt I'll end up with similar problems.
Tethering on the tbolt is seamless and easy. I use the stock app, or Barnacle. Both work like a charm.
Beware, using wifi tether with the stock app over 4g will drain your battery so fast that even if you have it plugged into your pc the battery still goes down. you have to plug it into the wall.
ive noticed that the barnacle app uses less power than the stock app uses.

oh dude, i thought i was the only one. it's really pissing me off and i cant find a solution. i did try the wilress tether app. but same thing keeps happening.
which rom are you using/kernel/radio and which version of that wireless app are you using? i'm on synergy senless 3.0 (nightly) with the ziggy kernel and mr2 radio.
fwiw, I went with the thunderbolt. I guess verizon is worried about ppl getting out of their contracts or something, cause they gave me the upgrade price eventhough it's early for me. I bet if I tried I could have even gotten a better deal, but I'm just too lazy and impatient.
When you guys say it's "dropping 4G" do you mean it drops down to 3G or it stays on 4G but loses connectivity?
Had the tbolt first. Reboot issuers and vzw sent me a charge to use till reboot issues fixed. Long story short. The charge was used 48 hire and sent back. Feels cheap. Os is slower. Battery life was about same for charge as with tbolt

does not get to 3g. 4g icon disappears and reappears three seconds later. but when it appears tether does not want to work. when you try to refresh website on the computer, the 4g disappears. if you take a speedtest on the phone app, it works flawlessly. at the same time as the app runs you use the computer,4g magically disappaears.

That hasn't been the case for me, I"ll often leave the hotspot on all day at work with pandora going and it's always fully charged off of the PC usb port.

No it would lose all data completely and a soon as turned the tether of it would pop right back up.

well i solved all of my tethering problems by going back to froyo. am now on bamf 1.8 remix and loving it. tether works like it should and even works with the screen off. something is off inthe gb kernal that forces tether to close when screen is off. slight remedy is to up the processor speed, until you lose the 4g signal lol.
i think i'll just wait for the official gb, need the internet and all.
This used to happen with me where my 4g would disconnect while using the Wireless tether app.
Im on BAMF Sense 3.0 RC3. and I downloaded the wireless tether app, but the only the stable version worked for me, I had bamf remix before the sense and the newest version worked for me, but when i installed it on my bamf sense version, it wouldnt work, so I had to use the regular stable version not the experimental

[Q] G Tablet Freezes

My g tab is an amazing device as all you can attest to. However ive been running cm7 and now cm7.1 RC for a month now. I get random freezes constantly. Itll boot up and then once i get to using the tavle whether scrolling through a video or the app drawer itll freeze up.And can't do anything unless I do a hard reset ive searched endlessly for answers but got nothing ...please help..
All I can tell you is this. Cm7 has an extremely high volume of reports of problems. I'm amazed its still so popular.
I'm running CM7.0.3 stable for Netflix sake. Time to time I got freezes in Dolphin HD 5.6.
Sometimes I just wait and Dolphin would FC or tablet would go into reboot when I tried to put it in hibernation.
Well, as far as I know and my research on this and another problems - it's a nature of Android OS (not mature OS and buggy software for it).
Though I never got freezes from Netflix.
PS: might be overclock CPU to 1.4GHz is too much for your tablet. Try lower it to standard 1Ghz.

nope. I'm running calk clem and have not had a single freeze. Calk and clem really struck gold with this one.
I run 7.0.3 and it has been the most stable Gingerbread ROM I have tried. No problems at all and much better battery life - Love it!

[Q] WiFi Stock 3.2.1, Rooted 3.2.1 or Tiamat ROM?

I am new to the xoom and was curious which most prefer? I have a DX and bounce between Apex and MIUI, both are better than stock. Why would I want to put a custom ROM on my xoom? Which is preferred and why?
I really love the Tiamat ROM. It let's you overclock and has some other neat features you can read about. The OC really makes the Xoom run much better. Just an FYI, I tried to go 1704 Mhz but had the tablet reboot on me once. I toned it down to 1600 MHz and have never crashed since. 60% CPU boost for free!
Thanks,
What about battery life? Does the battery lasts longer on stock than on tiamat?
I'd be interested to know about the battery life as well. Im running the stock rooted 3.2 on my wifi xoom, and theres been no increase or decrease in battery life since doing all I had to do to root it
Battery life will be different for everyone even if you have 2 units and do exactly the same with them, results will differ.
I was running 221 fine, 222 seems to have given me a few hiccups, I've gone back to the stock rom's and upgraded it as far as the system update will take me, then dropped Clockworld recovery on there and the Solarnz Universal Root and tbh for what I use my Xoom for theres not really any difference and I get access to some market apps on stock that I wasnt getting on the Tiamat ROM's.

[Q] Using this ROM and the update and other thoughts

Since I can't post in the ROM dev due to my lack of posts, I wanted to say to developer that I have Sabsa Prime v8.0. The wifi works fine but on the home screen the MENU option does not. Not a big deal at all. So I get the Sabsa Prime v8.5 which has a fix for wifi not working and the MENU on home screen fixed. Load the rom fix and to my surprise, wifi is not not working, MENU on home screen is working and the phone took 45 minutes to fully boot. Reflashed my radio hoping that would fix and nothing....so back I go to Sabsa Prime v8.0. with wifi working and MENU on home screen not working.
How does one as a nwby get this type of info to the developer......I read through pages and pages....but no one had this issue with the updated rom?
I am a novice to smart phone, but not to building software.....albeit known as dinosauer developer I have learned some coffee(comes from the JAVA bean for those not in the know) along the way, but very good at what I do. I have bricked my phone, unbricked, and now using Sabsa Prime which I like. It has about the same battery drain as Rev6.33 of 1% every 2 hours idle (from what I have read I am lucky on that, but maybe not). I have found that video (Dice Player) plays at a drain of 18% an hour with MP4 formats and I get 16% an hour burn for FLV......which is interesting.
Previous roms, would be AT&T ginger bread 2.3.3 stock and Rooted, 2.3.5 stock from AT&T. Rooted that and downgraded, then Rev6.33, Rev7.04, CM7.2ace, and now Sabsa Prime (ICS 4.03.) Same radio on each rom.
Phone Specs
HTC Inspire 4G with Sabsa Prime v8.0
Radio is 12.69a.29U_26.17.14.11_M
RIL is 2.2 that was associated with the radio.
