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

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

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 The price in europe is good if you compare it with other tegra 2 devices but in few months ti omap processor will be outdated ...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.
Dear all,
I am looking for a solution to connect my TF700 tablet with my phone (HTC Touch Pro 2) to access internet on the tablet when out of home (no wifi).
I can do it with my laptop and my HTC phone thanks to active think through usb.
When connecting through usb the HTC phone on the TF700 tablet, the TF700 does not see the HTC phone.
Trying with bluetooth, the HTC phone tell me that the tablet support only the NAP mode.
The HTC phone does not propose to share internet connection through wifi.
The TF700 is with ICS.
Any simple solution ?
(I am not an developper of android application.)
Regards.

Just download Foxfi from Google play store (no root needed), install it on your HTC your tf700 should works like a dream. It also has option to use as bluetooth also. Best of both world.
i think the touch pro 2 is an old winmo phone if im not mistaken. If thats the case there may not be a solution since i dont believe winmobile supports the right type of tethering for the infinity to connect to it.

Really?? it's not android? OK, then you should find a HTC pro 2 forum or try to search on google for solution. I think it's too old, just throw it away and jump on the Android wagon...like the wild wild West.
Try pdanet

PDAnet needs android on both equipment (tablet & phone).
Does not solve my issue. Would need to move from windowsphone to Android.

Thanks
It works with wifirouter !
Pdanet is available for both

yeah chainfire was the first person to come out with a hotspot app right here at xda. he's still here making great apps and contributing so be sure to thank him when you get a chance.
Is the HDMI port hardware limited to output only? Or with development can I ultimately push my sg3 screen to the infinity? I.e. mirror my phone. Essentially let the infinity become a second monitor?

No, you can't do this with an HDMI cable. You could run a VNC SERVER (not client) on your phone, and then use a client on the tablet to display the phone. Your phone would have to be rooted, but it would be wireless (over wifi).
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=vnc+server&c=apps
what do you mean pushing to infinity and mirror your screen? isn't that's the objective of the output?
Or do you mean that you want to send the output to another PC/device?
I think if you can tweak the driver, it might be possible.
Basically wants to use the tablet as a monitor. I tried googling and I don't think a hack was made with any android tablet so far, so I'm guessing it's unlikely.
Hello all,
I was wondering if a DVD/CD drive can be connected to the USB OTG adapter? I know that keyboards, mouses, pen drives and even hard drives are supported.
I will try to borrow one DVD/CD drive to see if it works. But would be nice to know. I saw the different threads that talk about this but none for tab 2. Even I guess would be similar for all android devices.
I believe only the Asus tf300 could do that but there is no stable app for running the DVD, Google it

I am hoping to use my Note 8 for part of my work which is to manage our campus wifi network. Not to worry I get the networking stuff and then some, my question is has anyone managed to setup an ethernet dongle with their Note 8?
I exepct if it does work I need to root, happy to make that happen as I need to add a custom HOSTS file anyway. I just expect there may be some Android massaging needed that I can mange as well with a few hints here and there of course.
For now I was just hoping someone had tried it before I buy this dongle:

Of course I know it will work with my Asus Infinity so I guess it's safe but I don't want to drag my Infinity into the crawlspaces thanks to this horrid but cool brushed aluminum case. Plus the beastie is bigger and thus has a more fragile screen. On the plus side for the Infinity is it has a full size USB port in the dock so no micro to standard USB adapter needed.

I've only tried the Ethernet dongle from the first generation ASUS Zenbook - doesn't work on stock. But does work on a stock Transformer Prime.
With root it would be possible to load custom compiled kernel modules, or it used to be possible on older devices.

Thanks for the tip about the Zenbook's dongle. I did not think about switching kernals. Sure that might be the best bet in the longer term. Thanks for the suggestion.
