It seems like now Wifi owners are receiving updates yet my 3G Verizon XOOM is still sitting around waiting for an update. Any others out there or am I the only one on XDA with a non-updated 3G XOOM?
I'm still waiting to receive the update as well
I am still waiting as well.
I'm still waiting for the update.
I was in your boat yesterday and got sick of waiting...p3droid put up a real nice and detailed walkthrough to manually update, and you won't loose any data. Took me about 15 min to do

Saw that, looks good but I think I'll wait. Not worth the small chance of screwing something up during the flashing.
Add me to the list.... weird...but I'll check out p3droid's tutorial.....
Still waiting to get it in Az.
waiting as well...
Still waiting in North Carolina
Still waiting - Detroit suburbs.
I'm waiting too!
I don't have the usb converter deal I would need to flash, which for only 4 bucks on amazon, I'll have soon. But even if I did have it, I'd probably still be waiting....
Not to offend anyone, but I feel that 3g users should get our OTA Updates before wifi.
I got the invite to the Music Beta cause of it, but I'm still waiting on my update to be able to use the Beta properly.
Still waiting here in Tennessee.
Still waiting in NYC.

Did anyone else get their Music Beta invite yet? I have not received mine yet, I was wondering if you had to get the update first and the get the invite but that does not appear to be the case?
Still waiting, Detroit, 3G but not subscribed so use it wifi only, unrooted. Impatient!
Haven't received a beta music invite.

Yeah, I recieved mine via e-mail without even signing up for an invite. I got it yesterday probably around 4 central time. Its 1030 central time now, and still no OTA update.
No update here, either. If they're going of ESN, it makes sense. I bought my XOOM 3G pretty late (like right before iPad 2 came out), but it's not like there are THAT many XOOMs out in the wild. They could have pushed the update to everyone unless they have a really lame update server.
I bought mine on launch day, first in line. Am still waiting....
Nothing here. Stock unrooted Portland, OR.

Do you plan on sending it in for the free 4G upgrade? I think I will, only because in 2 years when its time for an upgrade and Im trying to sell it, it'll probably fetch a higher price.
Yes, I sniped the deal and as of now I have no intentions of using cellular data. Most likely I will send it in to get the 4G modem.
1) Because I may decide I may want it someday.
2) Apparently, there's only a 90 day window after they offer the upgrade to do it. I'd like to get it done in case I decide to sell it.
The upgrade should start in roughly 90 days, but the window is six month from that date.
Has anyone seen exactly where all our Xooms will be need to be shipped for this upgrade? I'm assuming that the address is in the states (or else Motorola is even crazier than we thought), but I was just wondering if anyone had seen which city/state they would all be going to.

No. I will not be shipping it back for the 4G upgrade.
As far as I'm concerned, it'll be the $600 WiFi only XOOM that I wanted Moto to release on launch day. I raised my voice on multiple forums on behalf of the large majority who want a WiFi version, giving solid, valid reasons why Moto needed to release the WiFi version at launch or shortly after. I even got responses from a Moto employee on Engadget and from Matt at the official forum, who both said our concerns were 'being heard' by their superiors. Yet we still only have rumors to go on, and the only official news we have about a WiFi version is that Europe will be getting it in Q2. Since Motorola is failing to give us any info (despite at least 15 messages a day on their twitter asking them directly about it), we can only assume this means that Motorola doesn't plan on releasing the WiFi version here until Europe has it. Fail!
So, do I feel bad about getting a $200 discount? No. For one thing, I thought it was legit until I saw the update on Droid-Life. For another thing, they should have released the WiFi version and they probably wouldn't have had people looking for exploits to save money on their $150 markup (probably more since each 3G radio is under $50 for them).
Sorry for the rant.
*Steps off of soap box*
Carry on.
I'm planning to send my back for the 4G modem.
Has anyone received it yet? On the Track Packages page, the "Items Shipped On:" is blank. When I go to view order, it says shipped on February 24 via one day shipping but no tracking number button. The estimated delivery is Monday - Tuesday.

I'm with you on that and have no intention of using it for 3G/4G but I'm sending it back thinking it may be needed for something in the future so all models have the same hardware.
I hate you all. I prepaid it in advance, and bouhgt it on launch day, only to see "those that didn't do so get 200 bucks off"...
I was too busy playing with it to check the news sites that day, and missed the window.

Im sending mines purely to raise the resale value.

Sorry, dude. I know how you feel. It seems like I ALWAYS miss stuff like this, but it's nice to get lucky for once. It's actually the first time I've ever snagged a deal like this (and I've seen lots of online deals caused by mistakes and BARELY missed them. It's frustrating.) My brother caught a 'mistake' deal from Best Buy a few years ago, and all of his friends were pissed, too. lol
I don't use 3G but I'll be doing the update because I plan on selling my Xoom next year when we start seeing quad core tablets.
I just got this from another forum:
"just got off the phone with Verizon... all 3g versions will get the 3.1 update by midnight EST Friday."
Like the title says: just a rumor. I know nothing else. But it sets my mind at ease to know that I won't have to wait weeks. I'll stop doing the hourly update thing and just let it happen (OK, I might do it again, but not as often...). Can't wait to have resizable widgets and mouse support!
Google are doing a few things right in following apples lead when it comes to announcing updates and releasing updates on the same day, but as someone who lined up on launch day for my Xoom, and who still hasn't got an update it is still terribly frustrating...
Yes their are options for people who just cannot wait, and I understand that OTA updarea have to be managed to for load/ capacity reasons but I almost think the best solution is an either or solution. OTA update or for those that can't wait then an official tethered update....
I wanted to be able to go to work today with an updated Zoom, and stick the update in the apple fan boys eye

oh, man. i thought i am obsessed with my xoom
Do anyone know about the European 3G update?
I guess "3G" for Verizon is not WCDMA, its EVDO.
As someone who also purchase their xoom on launch day and has yet to receive the update, I am equally as frustrated. The load/capacity argument however seems weak with the small number of xooms sold to date. If they can't support that number...
Sent from my Xoom
frustrated here also. Got mine 9am the first day they had them available. No update yet for me this morning. Tried setting date ahead, it did check but nothing new.
Just curious, has anyone with a deactivated 3G Xoom actually received the OTA?
Some postings across several forums refer to the fact they only got the OTA after they activated their service with Verizon.
It seems suspect to me that that would be the case since any deactivated device I had with Verizon still received updates through WiFi (my OG droid and the last update (3.0.1) for the Xoom as examples).

I haven't received one yet. But if I do I'll post on here. Because I bought mines from a local shop brand new and never activated any 3G.
Have any non-US Xoom owners (Wifi or otherwise) received the update?
I'm a UK Wifi owner myself and this anticipation is killing me! I'd have preferred if they just gave a solid date, even if it is a few weeks ago, rather than suffer the vagary of 'several weeks'
It's annoying, I have UK 3G model, but no mention of rollout to international markets anywhere.
I would love to have it before I go to New York & Connecticut at the end of the month. It'd be nice to be able to upload my pics from my Nikon D7000 to the Xoom for a bit of extra storage.
Also, I wonder if I could get it connecting to U.S. Wi-Fi? Although I've heard it's based on Mac addresses and not the location you connect from. Here's hoping though! ;-)

Agreed, this is frustrating. I asked motorola on twitter; they ignored both times but continued responding to US users. Oh well. Shouldn't have expected any difference, considering how much of a farce their original release turned out to be.
I'm curious if anyone from Canada has received it with a Canada WiFi only Xoom?

So true. I just don't get what the big difference is that they have to roll it out that way. I can't help but think that chauvinism plays at least a small part in this.

I have the US version of Motorola Xoom but I am currently not in USA. Will I still get the update or do I have to be in USA to get the update?
I am assuming that since my US version Xoom is the wi-fi version, so it will not make a difference.
I have not yet received the update.

it's pretty stupid that if the power cable is plugged it won't let me update for battery concerns.

Wonder for how long we h to wait
I have the 3G Xoom that I bought the second day after it first came out. I even bought it at the Motorola site.
My question is, how can some wi-fi model get the update before me? I still don't have the update OTA yet. Isn't the wi-fi model suppose to come out after the 3G version. I wonder how this update work?
I heard there is no such thing that wifi users will get after 3G users , at least officially from google.
I think it is kind of scheduled update, batch by batch. So individual case varies.
Hope you will get one very soon! And I did heard Verizon mentioned they will make sure their 3G users get it before end of this week?

It is true that complaining does not make the update to my Xoom any faster.
However, we all have a brain and we think. When thing doesn't make sense, we have to question it.
If the wi-fi version comes after the 3G version then it is logical that the 3G version should have earlier updates. If it is true that the update is done by batches, then the 3G batches should be done before the wi-fi batches. Wi-fi version came out about 1 month after the 3G version.
Now if number order does not discriminate between the 3G and wi-fi version, then that is another story.
That is why I stated in my first post by my statement of "I wonder how this update work? "
both models are basically the same. they were both "born" at the same time in a lab somewhere. just because the 3G version went on sale first does not mean it should get updates or anything special over the wifi version. people who purchased the launch day product feels a sense of entitlement.. and thats fine, however the Google servers dont discriminate and the updates are pushed out by a certain method Google is using. you dont have to understand it--thats just how it is.
it has been proven that the Google servers dont discriminate because in fact some wifi versions are getting the update before the 3G versions. i have a 3G version and the wifi version sprint started selling on may 8 and the wifi version got the update a couple days after my feb 24 launch day 3G version. both of which have gotten the update before you.
so relax and wait for the update. im in the southeast and depending on where you are could also play a factor. you will get it perhaps tonight or maybe you have it already since your last post?
I have a US purchased Xoom, I live in the UK, am away on holiday in Fuertaventura (Canary Islands) and got the update today...
Ran smoothly,all OK.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I thinks its like lottery, Google said in a couple of weeks, that is the time to finish the roll out, if its June already and you haven't received anything then start crying and complain, in the mean time just hold on tight, and check for updates, or do like me and others, build your own OTG and do it yourself.
On a side note...
Just because you bought the 3G/4G version with 1000 years warranty and all the accessories and a contract for 40 years paid in advance doesn't mean you're gonna get it first...
Following that same scheme then The GOLDEN xoom's that were given at the oscars should be the first ones to receive the update. anyone heard of them?

I ordered a 64 GB developer edition on Saturday 4/20 at around 11 am and it has been in picking since. I selected 2 day shipping and the original expected delivery was today 4/24. Yesterday that was bumped to 4/25. Today it says 4/26.
I've gotten more patient over the years, and my current phone is serviceable so I'm just going to sit tight for now. The worst case seems to be 'end of April' which isn't too far away.
I preordered with them, it shipped on Friday and I got it on Saturday. That said, it did sit in "picking" for a couple days before it shipped, and the order also disappeared from their online tracker right beforehand.
Yep, still waiting. I just hope to get it before my trip this Fri

Same here. Ordered on Saturday (4/20) with 2 day shipping. Status has remained "picking" since Sunday. Original shipping date was Monday with delivery today. Has been incrementing each day. Now, it is supposed to ship today... we'll see.
Tried to call yesterday. Got cut off after staying on hold for just over two hours!
Waiting patiently... meanwhile, this post has me a little concerned. I plan to use the phone with prepaid plans on TMobile and AT&T for now... with other compatible international providers as needed. I use data a lot more than voice and so, value a good/fast data connection. Am concerned that the "generic" radio may be a hindrance. That said, if it is firmware related and not hardware, it should be fixable by flashing the appropriate firmware, ROM or radio. Waiting for the knowledgeable peeps to chime in.

Mine too. Ordered on the 12th, couldn't get an order status until yesterday, still in picking. Trying to decide whether to cancel or wait it out. My G2X is crap and I need something ASAP. It was either an HTC One or a GS4, and I wanted the One, but after this mess, it's probably gonna be whichever I can get first.
I ordered on the 12th but it has been "picking" for 5 days now I'm kind of disappointed that I (promised to!) shell out so much money and now I'm waiting considerably longer than carrier customers. I'm quite patient but I wish let's talk would be a bit more finite with their dates, there is no way they have been "picking" my phone for the better part of a week.
I will only be angry if I get the phone and it has hardware defects. I would imagine the RMA process with these guys would be terrible

So was mine, shipping today for 2 days...i called them and she said oh it's because we ran out of stock (thanks for that heads up). So I cancelled and went to AT&T, which i'm glad i did they gave me $150 off even though i wasn't due for any upgrade for a long time..
Ordered on 4/9 and it still shows picking status as well. This is definitely getting ridiculous.
I ordered two 64gb dev edition handsets on the 10th and I'm on back order. I called HTC and they said there next shipment is on the 29th.
I am having the same problem too, it remaied picking for almost a week and hopefully i could get this by the end of this April because i am gonna leave on May 2nd.
