[Q] What's in the box?

Would someone please tell me what is supposed to be included in the Elocity 7 box when purchased?
Is it supposed to include a USB to USB cable? If not, how is it supposed to be connected to our computer (if necessary)?
I saw the following and wonder if if is correct (it doesn't mention a USB cable):
What is in the box:
eLocity™ 7-Inch Internet, Tablet with 4GB internal memory, rechargeable lithium polymer battery, user manual and safety guide, warranty card and AC adaptor with power cord.
Thank you.
Bobby

That's all folks!!!
Yup, that was all that was in the box. I actually had a screen protector in my box, but it got ruined when I tried to remove the tape from it. It was taped to the A7 to hold it.
I bought 5 bluetooth dongles from eBay - only 2 bucks each - and plugged them into my computers. I can easily transfer files now between all computers and the A7 - and my phones now - and each other.
Really there was nothing else in there.
I did buy a case....the USAGear neoprene black one. Bought it on Amazon. On sale now for about 13 bucks. Fits almost perfect. It could be just a touch longer, but looks good.
Make sure you do the upgrade to latest firmware from website, then Dexters mod 1.41 - makes it a great machine!
I have a bluetooth gps receiver coming - have heard they work with the A7.

Thanks.
What firmware update are you referring to?
I already have PBJ8000.2.0.0133.
(I'm personally not too 'fond' of the updates because they keep replacing apps I previous removed. And I understand every future update will do the same.)

The A7 need a dedicated dev to work on it, thanks Dexter but your legion is to motorola, was using Dexter mod but went back to the stock rom, have less issue with stock than with Dexter mod..don't have to reinsert SD or USB and It show the correct SD card size ..

Firmware update
I believe the latest firmware update is 2.2
It was out in February - i think the 24th, but not sure.
Anyway, i did install the latest firmware, then in order to get the Market place app, I "upgraded" to Dexters mod 1.41 so I could install almost any app from marketplace.

i never seen sdcard (external) reported in stock rom reported correctly or even found? i know it mounts it at /storage/sdcard-disk0 but thats it, for previous releases.. can you tell me how you see it better or do you actually mean internal storage, because "correct sdcard size" is fine here too?
btw(little OT),
for those using stock and want all the new gameloft HD games running, you cannot use stock, as /storage is not supported, it reports "no free space".
if you want to use the usb cable, you still need to be able to switch between host/device, which is not working in our firmware...
you can manually switch but the OS do not acknowledge it correctly.

I believe you might be mistaken. I have gone to the following site and it states latest firmware update is PBJ8000.2.0.0133, which is what I have.

(I don't know what the other posters are talking about as I am a beginner and it seems their posts are not answering my original question or are way "over my head.")

The newbie on his grandmothers account is right.
He is naming the fw version
2.2 is the android OS version.
Not directly related.

Guess with dextermod were running android 1.41 ? Lol

Ya im looking forward to dexterbread 2.3 and maybe if were lucky even
dextercomb 3.0 LOL!
And in back to the topic,you only received the other accessories if you ordered
your tablet off of Amazon back when it first came out.It was a bonus package,
the only items in the box now are tablet with battery,power cord screen protector
and the paper work.

as no folio owners read here, i can tell you i seen 3.0 on my toshiba folio, very bad for now(soft egl), but its work in progress. but of course, its because we had part of the kernel source available, and im not alone on this at all. but kernel source helps when board changes are needed...

I can remember having some of the same problems with the droid 1 in the beginning but it got worked out and I am still using it as my main phone running gingerbread and can do anything that the newer phones can do and a lot of the things they cant.The ones of us that love this tablet for what it is and can understand even the basics will get a long and happy life out of the A7.

Dexter. ASUS has the 3.0 kernel on their site, can you use it to build for the A7?. Its a 97mb file..

checked it already and its not complete, for compile.. and no details on how to actually making it compile..
tried to copy it on top of 2.6.36.3 but some scripts were missing, so its nice, but not really useful.
anyways A7 has different hardware, and is similar to the Harmony board (called naz10) where Asus the much newer Whistler board for their kit, which has more video mem and some other functions on the board we dont have here..
similar but not quite the same when you get technical.

Alicez, you are right about the firmware. I was mistaken on that one. Looks like you have the latest.
By now you are probably trying to find a case to put it in? I found a great one that just barely fits at amazon.com. It is made by USAgear - neoprene black.

Free Keyboard Mouse for UK Xooms

That's because, if your signature is to be believed, you're running a US rom on your Xoom, and that has a different UAString to the stock UK image.
I've been trying to find someone on the boards who has the stock UK image who'll share the UAString - but either everyone is already on the US image, or they're not willing to share.
Shame

I've got a stock 3.01 UK wifi.
How can I help?

Visit somewhere like whatsmyuseragent.com on your Xoom, and post back with the entire User Agent String it tells you.
(Note, because this panicked someone else I asked earlier, we do not want or need your IP address, which the site also tells you!)

Running stock except for root.
my User agent string is:
[FONT=&quot]Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 3.0.1; en-gb; MZ601 Build/H.6.1-38-1) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.13

Yep - got the same string off a friend, and can confirm that works on the promotions site.
Use something like the firefox extension "User Agent Switcher" to let your desktop pretend to be your Xoom, and away you go.

same here - i got mine on day one - is it worth even trying to get the free keyboard?
what grinds on me more is I just bought the UK keyboard (which runs as a US language) for £50 too

I just posted in the other thread, I had my xoom on pre order from march. filled in the form using FF browser with modified string. Didn't realize there was purchase conditions on it until I had submitted.
I took a picture of my PDF pre order receipt and submitted it, Had an email the next day, yesterday to say it had been dispatched.
I missed the delivery today but am picking it up from the local depot tomorrow, so yea, ignore what it says and apply anyway

Just filled it out with ua switcher, hope I get it using the wife's Bluetooth keyboard for a Mac.

I don't have my packaging so where am I supposed to find the serial number?
I can't see anything in the tablet info beginning with "M0" as the site suggests.

I tried that but it just has my IMEI printed in there which isn't valid. How fantastic of Motorola not to bother to put it on the device itself.

Why didn't you keep the box? Contact Motorola custom support maybe another way to find it.

Okay try
via ADB (assuming you have it installed) connect Xoom to PC at pc
command prompt: adb shell at prompt on xoom: getprop ro.serialno
Via Google. Also on Motorola its a MSN number not serial.

Mobile Dock Update Notice

Hi All:
I received notification this morning that a dock firmware update was available to be installed. I am running the B60K series dock. I did not take advantage of the update just yet, until I have a better idea of what it does, but I wanted to pass this information along. Maybe a battery update ??

That's funny, I got no notification......

I know, quite frustrating; and I checked, this is not on the Asus website yet either. Also, I have not seen the notification since; but, I will keep an eye out for it if it makes another appearance.

I think I may just leave my tablet on and see if anything shows up. We can only hope.......

New firmware "soon"..

My message to Asus.
"[Problem Description]
After the latest firmware update which included Netflix and the app backup program, I
have found that the touch screen no longer is sensitive enough to pick up my stylus.
Prior to the update it worked near flawlessly for note taking and drawing apps. Now
however I am lucky if it picks it up at all. Manila input via my fingers still works well.
Also, the app backup app does not work at all. It consistently fails regardless of the
choices I make, whether it be data, data and app, or even the size of that I choose.
Please advise if these are known issues and if an update is in the works to rectify the
issues. Thank you."
Their message back.
"Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
We will release new FW 8.6.5.19 for this issue soon."
Just as a heads up for anyone also having these issues as I am.

I want the firmware with ICS please.

That would be nice.....but in the meantime I'd love to be able to use my stylus for handwritten notes again....

lol i havent even received the one thats out now yet

I really do suspect that they've halted the current update and will be pushing the new one instead... I know there seems to be conflicting information on that score, but why keep pushing a flawed update when you've already made a new one?

You're correct. On their fb page they said they temp stopped cuz of problems. This morning 8.6.5.19-20111107 is out.
Asus really is responsive to peoples feedbacks.

FYI 8.6.5.19 came out today. Just updated my Transformer.

yay. this is for us, nvm i got it also =)!

i've got an update just now..dunno any changes they make for this update.. xD

i gotta say asus is shining as a company with these frequent updates. now only if they'd come thru for the sbk v2

A backup app? Haven't seen that? I wonder if that is in the update they pushed today.
-----
yep just found it. 20 minutes?! Not doing that immediately

It definitely fixed the app backup....said 20 minutes...took more like 5. And my screen is sensitive enough to use the stylus again, though it doesn't seem quite as sensitive as it used to be. :-/ ah well...here's to a speedy update to ICS...^_^

Then you'll need the keyboard. I have a USB to Ethernet adapter and it works just fine, with root. I don't believe there is a Bluetooth to Ethernet adapter, which leaves you needing the USB ports in the TF101 keyboard (and probably the TF201 keyboard as well, but I haven't tested the drivers I linked to with the Prime/ICS yet).

Yup, if you're looking to do that then you're going to need the USB from the keyboard dock. Original Transformer is my recommendation.

Will it work with the slider or go with the tryed and true transformer
Going with the transformer. Im going to wait for the prime to get more support and also i can get it in store.
