Motorola XOOM- Help!

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I really would appreciate help with my brand new XOOM. All I really want to have is the Facebook app and the Words with Friends app, but neither of those are available for me to download in the Marketplace. My kids just got Droid X2s, and they downloaded those apps just fine. However, I can't do it on my XOOM. 
Also, I want to recieve facebook and email notifications on the XOOM. How do I set this up? I configured the Earthlink email account, but am not recieving notifications. 
Thank you!

I agree with both of you.  No real need but... I do like the facebook app.  It is easier.
But the website does load and work great too.
On the otherhand, the facebook apps are also dead useful.
I can see the app in the marketplace.  Not sure what to tell you.

  • Google Play won't allow me to install Firefox onto my Motorola Xoom

    When I attempt to install Firefox on my Motorola Xoom I am met with the follow message: This item is not compatible with your device.
    Is there a reason for this?

    Unfortunately, Firefox for mobile does not support tablets (such as the Xoom) yet. The developers are actively working on adding tablet support. You can help test an [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#Download_Aurora Aurora build] but you may encounter stability issues, among other issues. It should not be considered a replacement for your primary browser.
    You may need to allow installation of non-Market apps.

    Hi, this is the site for the latest smartphones for Flash Player:
    http://www.adobe.com/flashplatform/certified_devices/smartphones.html
    https://market.android.com/developer?pub=Adobe+Systems
    http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplatform/2011/02/update-for-fp-10-2-on-tabs.html   
    If Flash Player is available for the Motorola Xoom, it should be on the Android Market site.
    From what I've read, there may have been a delay, but not sure.

  • Ipad 2 vs. motorola xoom

    I decided to buy the new motorola xoom while waiting for my ipad 2, which is not slated to even ship until april 24. Just wondering if anyone has both and can offer an honest comparison between the two? One thing I have noticed is when I call motorola with a question, they don't even ask for a serial number for tech support, they just help you solve your problem. That is curious. I like having the inputs and outputs, but that is not a major point for me. I have read that the ipad screen is brighter. Any comments are welcome. I am a long time apple person, by the way and have only had macs since way back in 1988, when I had a Mac SE, so I am not a troll. I do love gadgets though.
    thanks in advance,
    Joe

    Joe,
    While I don't own a Xoom, I have an eLocity A7 tablet that is based on the exact Nvidia Tegra 2 Dual Core processor as well as the first generation Apple iPad. There are key advantages to owning an Android tablet versus the iPad.
    One reason is the ability to use Flash. I believe the new Flash 10.2 is available for Honeycomb and Froyo devices. I am running a modified Dexter ver 1.41 Froyo 2.2 ROM with Adobe Flash 10.2 on my eLocity A7 and while people here talk about Flash as being a video thing which you can do with HTML 5, there are instances that forms, multi-media photographic and financial websites that use Flash for graphs, charts, research info and photographs. If you need these abilities to access those sites, you WILL NOT BE able to do this with an iPad 2 period. Not even Skyfire will come to your rescue! This is one reason I had to have an Android tablet to go with my business trip complementing my iPad and the Kensington bluetooth keyboard.
    So my advice to you is to check all your sites to ensure that they do not need Flash.
    Now granted that there are apps available for the iPad that provides the workaround, but for what I use, the workaround was totally useless and painfully slow.
    Having said that, the iPad 2 is a more polished product compared to Honeycomb. A lot of people had said that some apps crash on the Xoom. This is to be expected as there aren't a lot of apps available specifically for tablets and for that matter this new Dual Core processor. This is one of the frustrating aspects owning an Android tablet I find.
    As for Malware stuff on Android devices. That's only pertaining to phones and tablets that's rooted out of the box and given some supervisory role on apps. If you are at that level, then you are a hacker and if you get infected; then well it is your problem and choice! Don't blame on some devices. My Android tablet comes rooted out of the box and I installed a non-factory Dexter ROM to provide great functionality compared to stock; but that is my choice and I accept all of the consequences. But then again,
    there are people with iPhones and iPads who jailbroke them and get problems downloading un-approved applications other than the App store from Apple.
    If you want a well polished device with a good amount of well established apps, I vote for the iPad 2. However, if you need Flash more than 30 to 50% of the time, then the Xoom is your choice and then you need to be wise in populating with the apps you need to use.
    Hope this helps.

  • Reader for Motorola Xoom - Android 3.0

    We have chosen the Motorola Xoom as our tablet of choice for our
    Board of Directors.  Major problem: we cannot install Adober Reader on it. The Android Market says "This item is not compatible with your device".
    Please make the Reader available to 3.0 users!

    Hello,
    I am assuming that you are using the official Android market from Google. A team member of mine was suggesting that you may have an older cache of the marketplace in your device. Adobe does not officially support Android 3.0 for Reader as of now.
    Having said that we are working on it hope to release it quite soon.
    Regards,

  • Is Flash player 10.1 compatible with Motorola Xoom?

    I know that the optimized 10.2 version of flash player is coming for the Motorola XOOM Honeycomb tablet in early spring, but can version 10.1 be installed on it in the meantime?  All of the commercials for the XOOM states that it is compatible with 10.1, but now I'm hearing different information.  I pre-ordered the XOOM tablet, but if it can't support flash until Spring I may cancel my order.

    No, it reads in all other white space, just not at the beginning of the text.  Like if there is whitespace in the middle of the text, it will read that in correctly.  It works fine except with flash player 10.1.

  • Question about motorola xoom browser

    Hello, i just bought a xoom so im new to this. Every time i try to load a web page that has a lot of content it stops working, so i exit out the of the tab then click on the browser again and there are lines going across the screen where the web page is supposed to be. i type in google and nothing happens so i exit the browser and after doing this several times the web browser finally starts working again. has anyone else had this problem? also while typing this its very laggy, is that normal? im running 3.2 and this is the only tab i have up. Thanks in advance!

    This sounds very strange. Have you had any other issues with the Xoom?  When you bought the device did you do a master reset on it to bring it to its original state?  The reason why ask is because when people buy used devices sometimes they are not in the default state and problems like these arise. I would follow these steps and reset the device, if after you reset the device and it still is having browser issues I would return it to the seller.
    Master Reset
    From the home screen tap Apps
    Tap Settings
    Tap Privacy
    Tap Factory Data Reset
    Displays shows: This will erase all data from your tablets internal storage including; Google account, application data, downloaded applications, Music, photos, other user data
    Tap Reset Tablet to confirm and proceed.

  • Virgin Mobile (Motorola Triumph) Help!

    Virgin Mobile raised their plan prices at the launch of the Motorola triumph a few days ago.
    The best buy ad for next week says you get a $50 gift card with purchase and in store activation.
    I would really prefer to take it home and do it so I can keep my plan at $25 instead of the new price
    ($35) by just swapping the service. Would they let me do that? If not, do you think they could swap
    my old phone service to the triumph there so that I keep my old plan?
    *Gift card:
    http://www.mediafire.com/?364xf8itwdf2525

    Unfortunately, you only qualify for the $50 gift card with a new activation, which creates a new Virgin mobile account and phone number.

  • Text input inside webpage didn't work when address bar had been touched or input, motorola xoom JB

    After touch address bar,either input a web site or just touch, text input inside a web page is impossible. The only way I can input text into a web page is to open a web by using the most visited page. Not possible whenever using address bar.

    I found this post on linux forums which say It's a HAL related problem.
    "rmmod ehci_hcd" made it work for some of these guys Which one of them explains It's a data speed issue. Cables.., 2.0 1.0, that sort of things. Read it, I bet you'll get more out of it, It's old though.
    Try removing the module, plugging the drive, check dmesg, and mount manually.

  • Printing from Motorola Xoon tablet to Officejet Pro 8600 Plus via Android ePrint app

    Hello!
    My Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer
    - is connected to my Laptop (Win7 64bit) via USB cable
    - is connected to my router via WLAN
    - is configured to use ePrint with a registered mail address
    My Motorola Xoom tablet3
    - has Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4 installed as operating system
    - has the HP ePrint Home&Biz app installed
    ePrint
    - ePrint app is configured
    - the app identified/shows my printer as it should
    - I successfully registered to ePrint on the HP website
    - I am using a registered mail address for connection between app and ePrint online
    As soon as I select a document on my tablet and try to print it,
    - the app shows up a "rendering document" message for a short time
    - a preview of the document should show up, but it doesn't!!
    - I can see the selected document as "pending" print job
    - no documents will be printed
    - pending documents can't be deleted and remain in the tablet's display
    So, I desparately need help! Why does my printer not receive or print the documents from the Xoom tablet?
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    I understand that It was not a problem with the connection. When dealing with wireless networks, it is always a good idea to set a static IP.  It makes things more stable.  The reason I told you to enter Google's DNS was not to connect you to Google.  All a DNS does is create a pathway to the internet.  Once any device finds the internet via the DNS it then goes where it is supposed to.  It just uses the DNS as a referance for the internet.  Web services should work fine with your router DNS, I have just had more success using Google's public DNS.  
    You never mentioned wether you did all the power cycling that I asked you too.  I know it does not make sense, but power cycling everything on the network so it can all reconnect fresh, solves most issues like this one.  However, if you have power cycled everything and you are still having issues, then try removing the Xoom and the printer from the network, and reconnecting them.  Sometime, you have to completely remove the printer and mobile device from the networks and reattach them before they will comunicate.  
    If none of that works,  you may need to call the cloud services department to have them take a look at the issue.  You can find the number by logging into your ePrintCenter.com acount and looking under the help section.  When you get an agent on the phone make sure to tell them everything you have done, so they do not have you do the same steps.  Honestly at this point if it is not working the next step is a semi-full reset, which will cause you to loose your ePrint email address, as well as reset everything back to factory settings on the printer.  I am not allowed to share how to semi-full the printer via the forums, however the phone agents can walk you through one.

  • Xoom 4G has no signal

    Our company jumped on the Motorola Xoom when it was released, and made sure to get the Xoom in for the 4G upgrade.  We had our devices updated, and the 4G is enabled.  However, the signal is horrible.  I have an HTC Rezound that has full 4G signal, next to my Xoom which has almost no signal (and usually drops to 'No Internet Connection')
    Does anyone have any ideas on what could be the issue, or are we stuck with these until we upgrade them to a different device?
    Thanks.

    Try looking into a 4G LTE amplifer and either an Omni External Antenna or a Yagi Antenna if you have a direct line of site with the tower I would recommend the Yagi. 
    3Gstore has an incredible BlackFriday deals going on this morning, I attached a link to the Amplifier which would help you with the 4G LTE Signal.
