How xoom updates work - Xoom General

Updates are sent every 24 hours to each group of people so u only need to check once per day they do this not to over load there server

Which is why those of us that get OTAs last can manually install them rather than wait!

3.1 update received

I woke up this morning and got the update.
It was pretty amazing... Seems it also fixes the AVC playback issue and now I can play much more video than before.

i did the date trick late last night and i got mines.. but no movie tab
I'm still waiting on mine... talk about frustrating! Wifi US XOOM.
What's the date trick?
If you set your date ahead a day or so then set it back your xoom will automatically check for an update.

That's not working for me. I unchecked automatic date and time. Then set the day 2 days ahead and then back. Checked for system updates and it says up to date. Am I doing something wrong? US model in NY.

Try move it 2 days ahead and then reboot. This should force a check.
Unfortunately that did not work. Changed it to the 15th and did a shutdown and powered it back up. Checked for updates and it says system in up to date.

Relax... I have been reading all the threads on how to force an upgrade for 3 days and eventually gave up. The next morning I got the update.
Don't let your Xoom get disconnected from the Internet. That might help.

It will only work if yours update is waiting for you already at the server end!
If they have not put yours as next batch at server end, you move date forward 100 years it wont help...

Security update thread 10/25/11

About to install the security update to my phone and run the logging danger app
anyone who updates Post your results here

If your Rooted DON'T DO IT! Not till you know if it will break Root. Good rule of thumb, if your Rooted do not accept any official Updates. At least until you know what's up.
i am not rooted but because sprint is sending me a new phone in a couple of days i figured why not
i will root after i get the phone(its a replacement)
If your not rooted, and your getting a replacement anyway. Then I'd go for it.

4G Xoom

Is there any ROM that works well with Xoom 4G? Every ROM I look says not to fash on a 4G Xoom.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Simple answer no.
Longer answer is that no dev is going to waste the time getting one up and running just to have ICS drop a few weeks later.
So I'd just sit tight and wait for the Ice Cream goodness to roll in.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
What demecles said, no dev is going to waste there time doing a ROM that will support the 4G XOOM when ICS is right around the corner. There's a few kernels out there that will work with the 4G XOOMs but I'm not even going to bother with that, as long as I have root access, I'm all good and waiting on ICS to come out.

It works great on mine. Its just the stock rom +root but at least you can play a bit.

Good point. I didn't remember about ics but frankly I don't think we are a few weeks away. Motorola said after ics is realeased by Google they will take 6 weeks to release a final note but that the xoom will receive the update. I think it will be more like around February or so
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
I was aso looking for a rom for my 4g xoom and came to the same conclusion regarding ICS.
My biggest complaint since I got my xoom back from the upgrade has been battery life. I used to be able to use it for 7+ hours and be fine. Now I get only 4 hrs or so of usage. Have tried shutting off the data to no avail.
Must have something to do with the new software I guess.
Any suggestions?

Grand theft auto 3 compatability

Anybody know if it will work with the continuum?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
give it a try and let us know.
i just got it from questionable means to see id probably would buy it if it worked but my phone completly freezes when i load it id hold of from buying it until a couple more updates are rolled out.
Are you running the verizon stock rom (2.1) or did you flash 2.2 thanks to the awesome talent in these forums?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
2.2, hopefully they can get it running on this phone, seems like a great deal for 5 bucks
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
id defenitly fork over the 5$ rockstar kind of pissed me off on this one though because if your not sure your phone is supported and u buy it u have to download the 400mb file witch takes longer than 15 minutes on most peoples connections so u wouldnt be able to refund it once u found out it dosnt work
witch is very shady if u ask me
Yeah it is definitely not best business practices
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
If I can slip my two cents in here. The refund issue is supposition, at best. Wouldn't it make more sense to contact the dev and ask him what his refund policy is, if the game doesn't work, considering the timeframe for downloading the data?

Coach Factory Store 50% off sale - Invitation only event

I know this has nothing to do with phones/technology, but I have an invitation only event that I would be more than happy to send you:
50% off the Coach Factory Store Online.
I thought that posting this here would appeal to 2 very different sections of XDA
:laugh:
1 - Those of you who might like to get the wives off your back and a little leverage for that next device you want to purchase
2 - The many Female G33k's XDA members
All I need to send you the invite is your email address.
NOTE: If you signed up with them in the past I will not be able to send you the invite, so please only send me non-registered email addresses
PM me your email and I will get you the invite right away!
Thanks
all 10 invites they will let me do in a day have been sent.
I can do 10 more tomorrow
Sale ends @ noon ET
I will continue to send invites to everyone who asks.
I found out that the invites do take a day or two to show up so you might not get into this sale but you will be on the list for the next one
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Any left?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I can register up to 10 addresses a day with no limit that I know of. The email seems to take a few days to show up, but keep sending me your emails by pm and I will keep adding you to the list
Please dont forget to click thanks too
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
I have had some people tell me that they have not gotten their invites, and some tell me that it has taken a while.
I contacted the coach support contact and they are trying to tell me it is your email addresses blocking the invite, and I think they are full of it
I would like to see how many of these invites are actually going thru. If you did get yours please post back here and let me know.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I got the invite email that took me to a sign up page. But they didnt let me set a password. After sign up they just say sign up complete, no follow up emails. And if you try to sign up again through your email then it just says the invite has already been used.
I am guessing they let you invite people to register but they only approve a few? Its sketchy.
I know that it took me awhile since I got my invite to get the actual email to get into the sale be patient it will come
Once I got the first link I got a new one every few days! :thumbup:

I got your invitation, however I do not see a 50% coupon. I made an account but same as other guy it doesn't let you make a password in order to sign in. I did see that you get $10 PER INVITE SO I THINK THAT ARE SIMPLY GATHERING EMAILS TO CAPITALIZE ON THIS.

There is no current coupon. The deals last about 3 days and then the next one starts a few days later.
The prices in the outlet store are up to 50% off and more and depending on the current selection are very cheap, and safer then buying online and taking a chance at getting a knockoff.
I have no control over who gets or when they get the invite, all I can do is add you to the list.
The only way to get access is to be invited, and someone invited me so i thought i would pass it on to others. If you find a great deal and make a purchase I do get a credit. I get nothing for inviting. Once you get your invite you can do the same thing..
If anyone feels deceived or I have broken an XDA rule I encourage you to ask the mods to close the the thread with my apologies.

Ok now I understand. Thanks for the invite bro hopefully I get an email soon from them.
