So i was leaving for work yesterday and laid my xoom on my fender and went around to the other side to strap my daughter into her carseat...dropped her off at daycare and get halfway to work when i realized i never got my xoom off my fender. So i pulled over and pretty much had a panic attack then sped home to look for it..long story short, it was nowhere to be found..backtracked my route 3 times and found nothing...i had no insurance on a 2 year contract...moral of the story is..get insurance people because im not even done paying for it and i now have no xoom and a data plan to pay for until my contract is out...i still feel sick to my stomach thinking about it

Why dont you install Plan B from market.android.com
It uses your devices GPS to locate it

Real moral of the story, have it tied to you at all times...
login the market from your pc. Install Plan B to your device remotely, it will auto start, and email your gmail account the coordinates if the device is still on

never tried it for the Xoom, but I did it with my phone and it sent the stuff via gmail, but it may need to send the text to turn on gps etc
Maybe there is a option to do it via gmail instead?
Sorry to hear that. I have issues with forgetting drinks, keys, phones, etc. on top of my car as well. I've grown accustomed to putting all of my devices into my Targus backpack and throwing it into the back seat before doing anything else.

Most of the time the insurance company needs to see a call made from the phone after u add insurance but since the Xoom cant make calls should be no way for them to know

Please, Please, Please make a thread about how you want to purposely brick your moment so you can make the switch.
I love love love! watching the brick police come in and throw hissy fit temper tantrums claiming you're ruining modern society by making false phone insurance claims.
When man has bricked the last cell phone only then will we realize we cannot eat refurbs
Well, if you decide to break it, please think up something creative and video it for us to see. Do something cool like the guy who got angry at his lawn mower and shot it in public with a shotgun. Please
I just my hero in February and I want to get the Evo. My phone is prestine I have the invisible shield on it and the otter box shield on it and its rooted also running the 2.08 Damagecontrol Rom. What would be a good price to sale it for. I was offered 85.00. I feel that's to low.

I hear thermite bricks phone pretty easily.
My main problem with the moment is this: Radom Airplane mode and EVDO lockups for no apparent reason. Only way to fix is to reboot the phone. Other than that the thing ways a freakin ton. I like the keyboard and the AMOLED screen though. Also, I miss you guys and installing a new ROM or theme every day

yeah my buddy just got the moment the other day, had it for less than a day and it was stuck in airplane mode lol if you have insurance then just tell them you lost it???
Gunny, do you not have 30 days to return it?
(rant)this is why I posted a straight trade for my hero from that buggy ass hardware in the moment...some sucker took the bait and did a trade for that pos..
been loving my hero ever since..things to hate about the moment..no matter what rooted rom you use that phone always locks up into airplane mode or random reboots..samsung should be ashamed of that phone they put the android name on
if you blow the phone up or anything make sure you youtube it and post a link..my buddy is going to make a video of what a moment looks like after getting blown up by a 50 caliber round by his service spier riffle at 300 meters....it will be an epic video lol.well when he gets back state side...almost makes me want to buy another moment just to annihilate one...that phone pissed me off so bad...(/end rant)

The Moment really sucks. Check the Sprint community forums at their official website, there's a known issue with the Moment experiencing fake-airplane/CDMA modem lock ups. The only way to get the connection back when it happens is to shut the phone down and turn it back on. I went through six Moments. The last time I swapped it, I just hung out at the bookstore next door until the data connection would break, then take it back over there so they could vainly try to fix it, then replace it with another Moment; rinse and repeat until they finally agreed to give me a Hero like I asked when I first walked into the store. When I went in last time, they said that if I had came in in May, and not June (the third in this case), they could've swapped it then with the hero (said something about swapping for a different device if there are so many swaps within a 6 month period). PITFA.
Anyway, I have my Hero now, and it works wonderfully, and has way better battery life than the moment. -AND- multitouch works on the Hero, which it won't on the Moment, even with the 2.1 update... I'm never buying Samsung ever again.
yeah you should definitely just go back to the Hero
Found someone who wants to trade back to the Hero for me

Ok guys, weird question...my screen is totally scratched up, no idea how it happened, but I am really pissed off about it. Anyway, I have the best buy extra insurance (Black tie?). I want to brick my DX so they can give me a new one. ****ed up I know, but I am paying for it, so I might as well take advantage. How do i do, or what is the best way to make it irrecoverable?
If you bought the accidental plan, just drop in in a puddle. I told them i was gonna hack it when i bought it and they said no problem but if anything happens and I have to bring it in, I better make sure it doesnt power on at all.
Best solution, pop it in the microwave for a couple seconds. It will nit power on after that.

Hes turning in the phone, so they are able to repair it and give it to the next person that breaks their phone. This saves us cost, because the other alternative is him reporting it lost and just keeping it.
You could always do the OTA then sbf 2.1. done brick. and you dont have to break anything, and now best buy and asurion will lower our insurance costs! jk

and if/when you get a replacement, may i recommend a screen protector....
Maaaaan all you have to do is say the on screen keyboard doesn't work its a software issue it only works when it wants to. Just remember The customer is ALWAYS right...I did it over the phone threatned to cancle my service and 2 days later new phone that was the droid 1 though. Id still take a fat **** on it though just so you can say you did it for conversation sakes.

It is the Wall Mart 'Always rolling back' effort. In the real world, your wife did not go shopping, she did not spend one hour there. These are not the droids you are looking for.
since i know where you are located... you are located near a diff time zone. your wifes nexus probably picks up the other timezone, in walmart, and switches accordingly. thats my 2 cents.
Wal-Mart is so big it has dual time zone?
crap man! You are supposed to use a space after a period.

Ok, now that we have something readable... it sounds like you are connecting to a tower that has it's clock wrong. I believe each tower has it's own clock that updates your device. That way each device isn't going out over the main network to get time and other things.

So At&T caught me tethering. I turned on mobile hotspot for the first time today since last week and then **** hit the fan. Script running now that is renaming files, permissions and is even searching my dropbox files. It is looking for APN related files. That is just the beginning. I don't have much time to explain because im on the phone now and my data which was deactivated at 6:59 PM is now connecting me to a diffferent server and trying to change SU and telling me false information about servers and data. This really sux big balls like a hardcore virus so im pulling the battery until tomorrow. I will post logs and db files when I can. Don't tether using APNs [custom] because you'll get screwed. I don't see how this is legal.

I said the same thing as you today and over the weekend on here. **** came on fast. My phone is crippled and I never got a letter or anything. I've been with at&t 13 years with 3 lines and I was grandfathered on the unlimited data. Im getting UMTS speed even though the phone lies and says HSPA. I can't mirror HDMI, MMS is gone, not sure about SMS. Im not a developer but looking at the log file I wanna say root is is trying to be revoked and ROM is.being altered. I thought I.would never lose my hotspot but its gone.and I can't be the only person experiencing this. The log is telling the phone to appear normal to me so I guess someone might not even know they got throttlled if this happened to them while not using the phone. This all.started 7 hours ago and if they take anything else from me I might just throw my sim into my good old.Nokia 6120 because this blows. I hope nobody has to deal with this but get prepared!

Ok ball breakers. I might never post but I was trying to give people a heads up. Screenshots coming in a few minutes. I put the sim in my backflip and it crippled it as well. When you see the proof this quiet daily XDA user deserves an apology and expect some ball breaking in return....I can't tether and its gonna take me a few to get the proof together (I used tethering instead of paying for my old ISP) so I had to email all the logs to myself. If I uploaded the entire log files the message would take up half of the storage over at XDA so give me about twenty minutes to cut and paste. And before anyone says I photoshopped the pics let it be known that i'm far from clever enough to know what half of the stuff means. I compiled the first release of redhat about 15 years ago but forget the majority of what I knew. Stand by ball breakers and ball breakettes.

this thread is hilarious.
OP is a troll, ATT would get sued to high hell if they did ANY of the things you described.
OP, either youre a sh*tty troller or you have a really bad virus.

I said the same thing as you today and over the weekend on here. **** came on fast. My phone is crippled and I never got a letter or anything. I've been with at&t 13 years with 3 lines and I was grandfathered on the unlimited data. Im getting UMTS speed even though the phone lies and says HSPA. I can't mirror HDMI, MMS is gone, not sure about SMS. Im not a developer but looking at the log file I wanna say root is is trying to be revoked and ROM is.being altered. I thought I.would never lose my hotspot but its gone.and I can't be the only person experiencing this. The log is telling the phone to appear normal to me so I guess someone might not even know they got throttlled if this happened to them while not using the phone. This all.started 7 hours ago and if they take anything else from me I might just throw my sim into my good old.Nokia 6120 because this blows. I hope nobody has to deal with this but get prepared!

There's no way this is being caused by AT&T. The most they would do is change you to a tethering plan. Also, the Nokia 6120 was a TDMA phone, it doesn't use SIM cards.

Ok ball breakers. I might never post but I was trying to give people a heads up. Screenshots coming in a few minutes. I put the sim in my backflip and it crippled it as well. When you see the proof this quiet daily XDA user deserves an apology and expect some ball breaking in return....I can't tether and its gonna take me a few to get the proof together (I used tethering instead of paying for my old ISP) so I had to email all the logs to myself.

If the shoe was on the other foot, you would have to admit that you would be a little suspicious.
Anywhoo... I'm looking forward to what pics you have to post later...

Where this thead does appear to be hilarious this is true what im telling you. I am still working on screen shots but if this is not a tethering crackdown then what else would have initiated this script to take apart both my atrix then my backflip. It started the moment I turned wifi hotspot on last night and the motorola services and some other system services started going nuts. Webviewglue started killing all my apps, motoblur.contacts.unconnected appeared and took all my contact data, I think fluffy was another process killing and admob was having info sent to it non stop to do some weird ****. Root was not taken away but MMS is down and data is UMTS on boh phones yet they are showing their normal values. All of my APN related files were tampered with and dropbox is showing an x in titanium backup and the logcat said 27 files were noted. Maybe this is something else but motorola.xxxx blur.xxxx and system.xxxx files are the ones doing damage. I just find it very odd this would happen the moment I turned hotspot on. And one other thing is that when I pullup testing through *#*#4634#*#* the values when the radio are on are all false but when I shut the radio I get the true info. Is there someone that wants to see my logs who knows linux in and out? If this isn't tethering throttle **** then its something real bad that is ruining both of my phones.

It very well could be. Just very big coincidence that it was the moment teathering was used for the first time since the 30th. I know the network speed issue is coming from at&t. Im no genius but its pretty obvious by the logs and db files I have.

Ford jacked my car on the way to work this morning! All of a sudden it started to break really hard on the freeway, then the radio changed channel to a Ford commercial, my car turned around, and it drove me right to the nearest Ford dealer. They told me they reprogrammed my Mustang on the fly via WiFi to be an Escort because they caught me going to a Meidas and not a dealer for tires. My car changed colour now, drives very slowly, and the computer keeps changing the timing so I backfire all the time! Am I screwed? Please help me XDA!
Funny... something similar happened to me

So my phone has this problem of only intermittently vibrating when I get a text/call. So I got an RMA and sent it in. First off, the lost it, and took several days and several phone calls to find somebody who was able to locate my phone. They then told me that it was not under warranty because it was physical damage. They said the main board was bent. Somehow I was apparently able to bend the phone enough to bend the main board but not crack the screen or back or anything else. So they said they could sell me a phone for $179 (no way). Sounds like crap to me........ I'll be buying Samsung next time.
cool story bro.
I prefer Samsung too. But in the long run I'm going to go with cool story bro

This post is confusing as hell. He broke his phone and they won't replace it is that the gist of it? Why's he so mad?

His father left at a young age.
His mother never loved him.
And his first love... Well, we all know what happens after their first love.

I swear stupid **** threads like this need to be deleted as soon as they are posted.
Some days I wish I was a MOD, dumbass posts like these wouldn't happen.
And, to be honest, I believe OP is only presenting a very small part of the story.
Notice how, toward the end of his ramble, he said he dropped the phone?
Sir, facts like those are important if you're trying to get people to rally behind you.

you
did fingerbang my cat, now you have a friend for life and he has a companion.
Who cares which company .... all that matters is that it has Andorid inside and got a development forum in XDA

Except Samsung has always been on top of updates. The only time Samsung hasn't had a timely update was due to networks, namely AT&T, not approving of the update for a long time.
I agree! Samsung makes good phones, but the touchwiz icons make me feel like I should use velcro shoes, safety scissors, finger paints, ect.
I posted this to get up to the 10 post limit for the dev forums, thanks. I feel validated since it was already towards the top of the page, and my post adds about as much to these forums as the OP
