I just got one of these Epad's from ebay.
Auction #: 150590930279
Description: 7" Epad 3G Android 2.2 WiFi Tablet PC MID VT 8650 Cam
Seller: great_seller168
I have a Xoom but it is to expensive to experiment with so I bought one of these less expensive units to hack on. Quality of it isn't even comparable to the Xoom but for something to play around with I think it will be fine. One bad thing is I can't even tell who the manufacturer is, all I really know are the specs listed on the above auction.
I am just looking to have some fun with this and starting by asking all of you.
Does anyone have any experience Rooting or have any Custom Roms for this guy?

This will list various tablets similar to yours. You will have to figure out which is yours. If you have a blue LED when booting up and it does NOT vibrate when booting up, then you have the M009s, which is here:

Dude, open your eyes! If you would actually bother to read these posts you would see that Dawg just told you where to go. Im not trying to be a jerk but this is the second time you have done this on 2 different topics. Good luck.
Hi everyone,
I have my eeepad transformer preordered to buy the 32 or 16 GB model, still don't know which one will be the first one...
But, I know that the galaxy tab 10.1 will be upgradeable to android 3.1, and the same happens with the xoom, but, will our future (or current) eeepad transformer see this android version? I'm only saying it because if android 3.1 won't appear on the eeepad, I think the best thing we could do is to buy the galaxy tab
Thanks in advance

Really? who said 3.1 will not be on the Asus???? It will come but we dont have a eta......but yeah if you really need 3.1 then you should get Xoom on Verizon it was launch the other day. Or you could get the tab 10.1 without the sd slot and hdmi port

Yes the GTab is upgradable but when will samsung do it?
Samsung are notoriously slow at upgrading anything!!! plus the GTab has touchwiz which will take more to time for the developers at samsung to get it ready.
If you really want to be negative, maybe google will have an unexpected downturn within the current economic climate and go broke, then all of us will have obsolete devices and we're be forced to buy ipads or windows tablets
I seem to remember reading on another thread that Asus support said that 3.1 would be available on June.
Check this video of the Xoom running HC 3.1
It looks really fast and much more functional.

Yup......its looking awesome.......our turn will come soon (crossed fingers)

Asus Germany confirmed on Facebook that the 3.1 Update will be available by mid june! So dont worry guys
What's the chance of getting that ported? Nill right cuz google still hasn't released source.....?

I think it's possible, but is there any reason? The official update will come in mid June, less than a month left. And it's possible someone will leak it before.

Got a link to that page please? There doesn't seem to be an official Asus Germany or Asus Deutsche anywhere on facebook.
Edit: nevermind just found it... Deutschland...the one word I didnt try. They certainly do reply a lot more often on there it seems.
Mid June for 3.1 is good news. Thanks for the update
juhuuu good news, also in mid June there should be transformer available in Slovakia. So 1 month of waiting to a judgement day for me
Can somone post the new 3.1 browser apk
that great news. Saw a video of 3.1 on xoom, and guy state that his xoom feels much faster then before (UI)
seriously?

Nice picture. Wonder what that warning triangle is.

The triangle is for when there is an update file detected on the tablet.
Good to see they already have a version they are happy to distribute to regional sales and support teams - means it is stable enough to have internal testing.
Nice!
10 chars..
well just asking because I dont know which tablet should I buy. right now Im thinking in the ASUS transformer but im not sure about it because of the lightbleed issues and other stuff
so just give some responses about it and tell me which tab is best !
Top contender at the moment is the Galaxy Tab.
I was going to get a Galaxy Tab 10.1 because it seems to be the best Android tablet at the moment. At the last minute I changed my mind and got an iPad. I know that sounds like blasphemy, but it really is awesome.
*prepares to be flamed*
So if you're going to buy Android, I would go with the Galaxy. I tried a Xoom and it felt a little laggy.
Im out of budget to buy the galaxy tab Im actually not a U.S citizen and the galaxy tab is really expensive here . so my selection is between : motorola xoom , Asus transformer , aser iconia , and thats it

honestly, if it's between those tabs i would get the Acer Iconia...it has the same specs as the Xoom PLUS a usb port for a fraction of the cost...and as i read another response, the Xoom does feel a little bit laggy at first (top reason i rooted and overclocked it to 1.3ghz a core...no more lag) but after an overclock runs great!! but if you're looking for something quick out of the box with no mods, go with the Iconia...fraction of the cost of a Xoom with the same specs and a little more
Well for me i will prefer asus eepad transformer coz u have both laptop & tablet in one function some more u have double the battery 8 hours on tablet & another 8 hours when u dock back to keyboard for total 16 hours juice!!!
Hi Guys ... and Gals,
Am thinking of getting a TF for my wife ... 16GB without the dock.
The experience I have with Android is ... well, pleasant! I use the Nexus S.
Well, since I'm using the Nexus S, I would be interested to know if the TF comes with the original Honey Comb that can be updated directly from Google or if I would have to wait for updates from ASUS.
Yes I know all things are possible with a root, but:
a) I don't want to be messing with her tablet everytime.
b) I think the ASUS keyboard with the numbers on the top line is nice. Is it available as a separate download? Is it available for the mobile too?
I'm currently on holiday and would like to buy it so ... before I move back to is there any particular problems I should look out for?
Thanks for any help
Updates happen through Asus. Though they seem to be on time with them.
I think all tablet updates come from the manufacturer

Thanks both
So, the only way to get newer versions IF Asus start behaving like HTC or Samsung is to root it and put in a custom rom! Fine ... no probs. Atleast while the going is good, we don't have to worry.
Any known problems I have to look out for before a purchase?
Thanks again.

It's not the known problems you should be concerned about, but the unknown ones.
Get a newer model. Serial code should start with B60xxxxxxxxxxx. B40 is original. B50 middle.
I have a B50 and its nice. Other then that be on the look out for screen bleed. iPad2s have bleed just like everyone else. Some are extreme. Most are barely noticeable. Just keep an eye out.
Asus Transformer 3.1 pwnd

Asus made some subtle changes ( icons on the status bar) but asus was the first company to push out the 3.1 update ( after the xoom )
Thanks ... guess that will help
It's normal that the update come from the manufacturer.
Asus must have to include the specific drivers for it's tablet (not all the hardware is the same, even if the main platform is based on Tegra2)
It also made few modifications for apps integration and visuals.

The Xoom was only first in the US, everywhere else the Transformer got 3.1 before the Xoom. Actually the Xoom only has 3.1 in US, Australia,Japan and China.
it just has a few mods (buttons + some widgets and wallpapers)
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.
