How did you guys load videos onto your xoom? I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit and whnen i try to copy movies from my PC to my Xoom, it simply fails to copy to the Xoom.
When I first drag the file to the Movies folder on the Xoom, I get a notification that the file is not compatible and might not play. I then hit copy anyway, and simply doesn't copy. The progress indicator doesnt budge.
Any ideas?

I get the same popup, but they copy once i hit do it anyway. Maybe try renaming them zip and once its down rename back?
I'll try rebooting the xoom later when I get home.
I have the same question! My Xoom doesn't load as a drive, it loads as a Portable Media Device.
I open it and browse to 'Movies' and I try to copy this mp4 video and it says its an invalid format [Skip, Skip All, Cancel]. I'm using WinXP. If I use my Win7 Pc, i can choose skip or continue anyway. What gives?
I tried an avi too.
edit: Ok, and to add to the confusion, I made a video on the Xoom (.3gp) copied off to my WinXP box then deleted the file from the Xoom. I THEN tried to copy it back to the Xoom and it gives the same error....

This is total fluff, but...if you're tired of the Sprint Ahead animation during startup of your device, and are sick of iPhone users whipping out their 'units' to show you how purdy they are...try this on for size.

I made this the same size and frame number as the original so you simply have to drop it into your \windows directory...right-click the image above and 'save picture as...' and rename to 'SPCS_startup.gif' (btw - it doesn't loop...so if you didn't see it, refresh your browser)
Enjoy!
-E
you could just turn off the startup animation using the configuration tools available on this site.
Yeah...I'm aware of that...but where's the fun in that? (also, mine doesn't seem to boot any faster without the animation)
-E
how would i go about this on a vzw xv6800? i am not seeing the SPCS_startup.gif in the windows folder. I'm assuming the startup animation is under a different filename. Anyone know?
can you explain how to do this step by step? sorry just got my phone and still trying to figure out everything
Tried to do this per your instructions on my Mogul but the original file on the stock rom won't delete and it also won't let me copy this one in it's place. What now?

Yea I had this same issue..It doesnt allow you to rename it...or delete it either. Guess its not as easy as he made it seem.

Try copying it to the device first (like in my docs) and then use the file explorer in the device to overwrite the old file.
If you try to do it from your desktop it will simply say the file is protected...
But if you do it from the device it will ask you if you really want to overwrite the file and release it just long enough to let you change the file.
I did this from my Mogul not from the desktop. Used the device to go to this thread. Copied the .gif to my storage card, re-copied and tried to paste to the Windows directory. It asked if I wanted to replace the file with this one. I tapped yes. Error message: File cannot be replaced. Tried to delete the original file. Error message: File cannot be deleted. I appreciate your help with this. I'm not a noob, I just don't really post or upload anything.
use total commander
worked great thanks
Sorry for not explaining it further...and for not getting back to those who were interested. I guess I never even tried to copy directly from the desktop OS...I always pull data from my desktop to storage on the device before doing anything with it.
I'm glad that somebody else out there thought this was at least a little amusing and decided to throw it on their device.
What is the best way to roganise my phone?
I plug in my phone and all i see are folder's after folder's and file's after file's
totally, unorganised it looks a complete mess and to be honest i dont even know what most of the files are for as well as folders.
102 items in the root of my phone & Sd-Card, am trying to tidy it up,
I want all my music in a Music folder as apposed to 3 which I have Music, Music Junk & Music_online , its really unorganised. Photo's and Video's need to be organised as well.
So i have applications that create folders in the root. , can i not add a folder called Applications, and then the apps will create folders in their or somthing?
Anybody got any idea's and will i be ok to delete most of these folders and files?
Thanks
I too find it a complete mess, although I have organised my media folder. Here's what mine looks like right now...

I've rooted mine so think some of what's on there will be needed, so I'll just have to put up with it. I've had to flash it 5 or 6 times already by tinkering, only had it a week too lol.

First, get the game on your Phone!
If it's not available in your country, you can change your operator with Market Enabler (to T-mobile for example) and one of the 3 versions listed by EA will become compatible with your phone.
Run Worms and let it download it's database in sdcard/android/data/com.ea.worms_NA_vzw
Create a folder called com.ea.worms_na if it's not there already and paste the content from the one above inside it.
You should now have an identical content in the two folders and the same size ~34mb each.
Then locate your worms.apk file (com.ea.worms...).It should be in or data/app; if it's not go to your program manager and select "move to phone".
Then paste the folders in sdcard/android/data on your tablet and worms.apk anywhere you like and install it.
Voila, you have worms! Don't forget to say thanks if you enjoy this game too
Let's see how long it takes for EA to "port" since the only thing that's not in place is the cross-hair, it's a little too big but the game is totally playable.
ill try (did this on my nook) but since the last update the game doesnot even start up
Make sure you have the two folders synched right, the app is bugged and doesn't do that by itself.
If anything else fails, delete the folders, uninstall, start over.
I use a Appkik Backup to get the .apk, then I email it to myself from the phone.
On the tab, I download the app and install it from email.
Same process, but easier (the backup .apk's are always in the same folder) and it's wireless. Plus some paid apps are hidden.
Then occasionally I will plug my phone into my PC and make a copy of the backup folder. Then all apps are on my PC should I clean sweep and want to reinstall all of them.
I have tried this several ways, but it tries to download the files to support and then says unsupported device. Any suggestions?
OK - after playing around I finally got it to work. Do I need to install anything to get the sound to work? No luck here.

Turn off Dolby.
Been getting touch screen issues with 3.1 custom roms. Have to check around more.
Please try a round and report.
Hello
My girlfriend borrowed her dads HD2, and now it stopped working. She talked to him and most likely it requires an update of Android.
I'm usually pretty tech-savvy, but the language spoken on this forum is beyond my comprehension.
So, I have a HD2 with both win & Android installed. To boot into Android i need to go into windows and press two files on the SD-card: "CLRCAD" & "HARET".
The files look like this in Windows (pc):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Her dad mentioned Boxmax 6.5, so I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100560
The files I downloaded from there looks pretty similar, aside from a few additions on the phone.
Downloaded the SD-one, but now i'm lost.
How do I update the phone? Just overwrite the files with the new ones or clean install? If it's a clean install, how do i do it? Do i need to backup something?
Backup all files on the SD card to a safe place (pc).
Delete folder Android on the card.
Copy the Android folder from the archive you downloaded.
Pop the SD card back into HD2, and start Android from winMo (clrcad, haret) or better yet install the exceller autoboot.
Thanks alot, sounds easy enough
When i pop the things back on the SD-card from the backup-folder, I still need to install all the apps and widgets again right?
Edit: Oh, and what about all her messages? Are they stored on the phone?

Yeah, you usually use titanium backup, heh.
sent from my phone using my fingers
Thanks so far for all the help, I got it working fine except, and this might be a really n00bish question, how do I turn off the phone?
Nevermind, found Quickboot
Obviously the default method of moving files (MTS I think) is horrible. I can remove the external SD card and copy files over from and to it via an adapter, but while that is faster it is annoying to do day in and day out (as I want to continually) update the device as I consume information (read TV shows and Movies) on the train. Also this method does not allow for easy access to the internal storage. Is there a way to change the access method so I can mount the disk as I would with with my ATRIX (MSC I Think). Or should I look into using a network mounted FileSysem?
Thanks,
ERIC
Paw Server
so what you want is to transfer files from/to your tablet to/from another device? if so, i can suggest you Paw server. I use it on my A500 and my I9000: it turns your device into a kind of web server: file transfer, send sms, .... very usefull and all you need on the other device is a web browser. you can then access your device through a web page. see screenshot.
