[Q] Replace LCD Screen with IPS? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Xoom has a stuck and dead pixel, so I'm going to replace it with a new one. However, with the new Xoom coming out (Family Edition), I was wondering if it would be possible to swap the IPS display in the Family Edition with the LCD in the current Xoom?

Nope... checked it out a few days ago.

I googled and couldn't find anything on the subject.
If you could provide reference, that would be awsome.

Yeah, I'd like more details as well.

Ideas to root Atrix 2?

I tried gingerbreak, Super One Click and and the "One click root for Moto phones running Android 2.3.4" thread. Any ideas on how to maybe root a Atrix 2?

Wait until a dev picks it up and makes something for it. I highly doubt much will get done on the Atrix 2.
Speedily sent from CM7 Beta
I didn't think the atrix 2 was even out yet
I saw a few rumors on the internet that it was to be in the ATT stores on Oct 16 (tomorrrow, in my time zone). I called two local ATT stores and neither had received any stock. One of the store guys said they get new price sheets on Sunday and the Atrix 2 was not on this past weeks sheet. He told me to call back tomorrow and ask if it is on the new sheet..
I got the atrix 2 this morning i am also looking for root
I am looking for root can anybody help us get root. Is Atrix 2 gonna have its own section on xda?

Have you tried Petes Motorola Root Tools? It is known to devices the the Atrix 1, Droid Bionic, and Droid 3. Just search it on google. It has it's own website I believe.

Someone needs to make an Atrix 2 section because all of these new Atrix 2 owners will be coming over here and clogging up everything. Atrix 2's aren't really even close to the original so Atrix 2 owners need to stop posting here.

Atrix 2 is Cheaper by 100 dollars and if you go to Wal-Mart and or Amazon.com the phone is $49.99. One MAJOR Reason people will pick this over the SGSII considering not Everyone has money to just throw around. That and the fact that AMOLED Screens get Burn In which No One Ever Mentions. But just throwing those few reasons out there.
If you're signing a 2 year contract I don't know why the extra $100 is a big deal when you're increasing your bill 25 per month for 2 years. The Galaxy S2 will be down to $150 soon too.

your 2 year contact will cost you about $2500 so i find it silly to count pennies in phone cost

Android version on the device is 2.3.5 not the 2.3.4 that is on the Atrix 1.
So far nothing that I have found will do anything to 2.3.5
I started with a Atrix 1 (2 was not out when I decided to upgrade) but the speaker died on it with in a week so I went to the Atrix 2 and so far like it much better.
What about trying the method they are using for the bionic? last night I was looking and it seems they have found root access after their update to 2.3.5? It looks like the way we rooted the OG but with some newer access?
Link me.

What's a good sub-$100 Android phone with huge screen?

What's a good sub-$100 Android phone on the used market (not new) with huge screen? Just needs 2.2 or 2.3 Android. Doesn't need to be fast.
I need something for my Mom who has trouble seeing/typing. Planning to use it with this theme for elderly people:

3.2" display. Kinda small.
What about that Captivate?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
Big screen isn't enough. Some phones have big screens and teeny tiny fonts. (Like the HTC Vivid.) The Skyrocket has nice big fonts, but not cheap. I don't have any suggestions; just warning you that a big screen by itself doesn't mean big fonts.

The font isn't an issue using the theme/app I linked above. Thanks for the warning though!
How big of a screen you looking for? I think you can find the non LTE ATT Galaxy S2 for under $100, as well as the Infuse 4G.
Not sure if you need it new but I just picked up a refurbed Skyrocket from AT&T for $20. Just got it today and I'm playing with it now. Looks new or close enough to new for me. I didn't want to pour a lot of money in either.

Dead Pixel... Verizon Return?

Hi guys. I just realized my shiny new Galaxy S3 I pre-ordered and received a few days ago from Verizon has a dead pixel (or maybe a few in a cluster, it's hard to tell if it's more than one). Since it's within 14 days of receiving the phone, I should be able to return it for a new handset, correct?
Now that I've seen it, it will surely bother me.

I don't like being nitpicky, but I paid good money for a brand new device, and it's technically defective.
I'm just worried they will say "oh, I can't see it" because it is quite difficult to see, but I have good eyes and it sticks out to me.
What would you guys do?

Alright. I believe tomorrow is the date they're supposed to get actual phones in-store, so I figure I can do it then.
Since it's a pre-order, do you think just my order confirmation sheet and original packaging and such would be enough for them?
I've always had bad luck with getting replacements, even when they're clearly hardware defects that are no fault of my own.

What's the best way to ensure my device is cleaned of all personal data before swapping it?
Reflashing a stock system.img and doing a factory reset should be fine, right?

thanks for remember me something....... if the phone comes with Android 2.6 how can i upgrade to ics 4.0 without any custom rom? can i do it just searching any update on the phone?
This phone seams pretty sturdy the only problem my brother faces is when the phone gets hot the screen tends to ghost touch.....which might just be him but its the only atrix around to mess with
