    Help Embedded video problem?

    I've got a wifi only Xoom with 3.2 and Flash 10.3 and using the standard browser. Some videos play fine, others not at all. In fact, if I go to Bing videos, none will play. The still loads and sometimes the audio will play but no video. YouTube plays just fine. Now, if I go into the debug...

    Help Play movies?

    I loaded a movie onto my XOOM. It's only a sample from an app that rips and preps them from DVDs I already own. Works great and I moved the file over via USB. Now, if I didn't have Astro (or another file manager app), how would I play movies in the movie directory? I don't see a player app...

    Prices dropping

    Saw (and bought 2!) wifi only Xooms at Walmart online yesterday for $499. With pickup at the store, there's no shipping charge; just applicable sales tax. Important safety tip, however: If you walk into the store, their price is still $599. Amazon's picked up on this and now has the wifi...

    Finally - Google Sync for Outlook 2010

    The finally fixed Google Sync to work with Outlook 2010. I used it and liked it, but once I installed 2010, it didn't work anymore. I know there's some workarounds, but here's the official update: Getting started with Google Calendar Sync - Google Calendar Help So far, it works great! (Mods...

    Help Camera Volume?

    Is there any way to turn down the camera sounds? The double beep when it focuses is annoyingly loud... so loud you couldn't use it to take pictures of your kid if they're sleeping, for example. I could also do without the fake shutter sound, but I can live with that. Thanks.

    Help VM Icon on dialer tied to visual VM?

    I just got the first VM on my DX. Naturally, I went to the dialer and pressed the message icon (bottom left of the dialer pad) and what do I get? Not voicemail! I basically get asked do you REALLY want to go to your FREE, included voice mail? Or wouldn't you really rather PAY to subscribe...

    2.2 + wifi issue: possible cause

    Since 2.2, I have not been able to connect to my wifi (or any other secured connection). It gets to the "Obtaining IP address from XXX..." and hangs, times out, retries ad naseum. Eventually it gives up and stops trying. If I set a static IP, it connects right up and works with no problem. I...

    Well now what?

    Got my replacement Droid today. Activated it and set up my wifi credentials for my home network. No joy. Same old deal... Connecting. Connecting. Obtaining IP address from XXX.... Disconnected. Scanning. Rinse, repeat.

    What would happen if...?

    Since doing the manual 2.2 upgrade, I've lost wifi and, it appears, bluetooth. What would happen if I re-applied the 2.2 update to the phone? Or even did a 2.1 "update" with a 2.1 release? From what I'm seeing, if FRG22 ever shows up, it won't fix the wifi issues some of us are having...

    Handcent won't do bubbles?

    I've searched, but I guess I'm not putting in the right question. I have Handcent set up do show messages in bubbles, but it doesn't. Anyone have suggestions for what I'm doing wrong in setting it up? Is there somewhere that I'm missing that says USE BUBBLES or something? I have the colors...

    See what apps are accessing the internet?

    Is there a tracker, firewall or other app that will tell me what other apps are accessing the internet? I just went to update BatteryTime Lite and it wants full internet access. Why? I have no idea, but it got me to thinking and I looked at a sampling of other apps that shouldn't really need...
