Motorola XOOM reset
We've been testing the Motorola XOOM tablet for a couple of weeks and we ran into a new problem today, the system totally froze up. It wouldn't shut off and the whole system was locked. Normally I would just remove the battery on an Android phone and let the system reboot. Alternatively there is usually a way to push a reset button with a paper clip inserted into a small hole. But not this time. I did a bit of research and this is what I found:
Soft Reset for Frozen Xooms:
To reset your Xoom when the screen is totally unresponsive, press the power and volume up buttons at the same time for about three seconds. The two buttons are right next to each other on the back and side of your Xoom. This is a soft reset. It's the equivalent of yanking the batteries or totally powering the device off. Once your Xoom powers back up, it will still have all your software and preferences. It just (hopefully) won't be frozen anymore.
