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 The price in europe is good if you compare it with other tegra 2 devices but in few months ti omap processor will be outdated ...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.
I have acquired a Driod Bionic Lapdock which mates perfectly with and charges my Photon Q. Has anyone been able to install a version of Webtop that allows them to fully utilize a Photon Q with a Lapdock? I've seen there are versions of Webtop for the Atrix available on XDA - any thoughts on whether or not that would work with my Photon Q? Thanks in advance for any input/advice!
I have the exact same situation. Can't find much of anything out there. It's sad that this phone didn't receive much interest from anyone either. Almost no dev happened/happening at all it seems. The device actually has decent guts and I'd LOVE to figure out how to put webtop on it. Or even something that will just allow the keyboard to interface with the device in mirror mode. I might actually prefer that MORE than clunky webtop but i'm sure there is more of a chance of getting webtop to work on it than that happening
Could you please help me with choice: what is better - photon q+android tablet or photon q+bionic lapdock=mirror mode?
hard to decide, because in Russia we have no lapdock, so I will order one. Is it usable in mirror mode?i heard that with some firmware and mousepad and keyboard will work without issues.
Hello, I just bought my ASUS tf300t tablet and would like to develop applications on it. It came with Android 4.1 and now its updated to 4.2 but neither of those versions have a Wifi-Direct mode enabler in the settings. This is a feature I was waiting for since I bought my HTC Desire 3 years ago, and now finding out that ASUS doesn't offer it is a major let down for me...
But maybe there is a way to unlock it since I've read the Wifi component supports it.
- Does any custom ROMs that you tried offer Wifi-Direct? And does it work at all?
I am on stock but will root if necessary.
Hi everyone
I've just bought myself a Xoom 2 UK wifi tablet. I got it to replace my HP Touchpad which has given me great service over the past two years in its Android incarnation. However, after updating it from its original GB to ICS, I've noticed that a fair few of my daily used apps are missing from the play store. So its fairly important that I root the Xoom. I've seen that there are a multitude of different versions which seem to differ markedly from each other in terms of rooting and upgrading so I'd like some help in knowing if there are any one button solutions to it and the best/safest way to get root. Thanks in advance.
Refer to the sticky on top.

Hi all, I recently found my old Motorola Xoom and I figured it would be perfect for using the PS4 Remote Play Port. I also want to use the Dualshock 4 controller with it via OTG, so I need to root it. I looked around the Xoom part of the forums, but I really have no idea where to start. I can't look at any info on the tablet right now because I'm waiting for a charger for it to be delivered - all I know is that it's an original Xoom tablet that I sent in for the 4G upgrade. If anyone could point me in the right direction with some instruction it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Did you ever figure this out? Dug out my old xoom looking to do the same thing but haven't got it working yet
