American Wifi Xoom in the UK - 3.1 Update? - Xoom General

Simple question,
I am in the UK, but I got my WiFi Xoom from Staples in Florida, will my Xoom get the update? Keep changing the date but no update available as of yet.
Cheers

I got a Verizon 3g in the US as well, nothing for me either yet.

Its a phased update, a lot of america might not have it yet. You'll get it soon I imagine.
Macbots drool as I XOOM through the Galaxy to my hearts Desire.

Ok, fingers crossed. I was told it would receive updates, but I don't know if its classed as a UK or American Xoom. It doesn't have the books tab in the market. If anyone in the UK has the update, please shout up!

Had the update this morning, so US Xoom's in the UK are getting it.
Lordao

im in the uk with a uk xoom wifi only running 3.1 although not from Google. I used brd'd 3.1 update on these forums. Works lovely. Its a nice update. I also want SD card support so official isn't good enough for me.
Let me know when. U get it!

I got the update on my US Wifi Xoom in South Africa, so it should definitely be coming to you guys.

Yeah its still there, for some reason the shortcut stopped working. 3.1 is a lot better, so fast and smooth!

Same here in the UK, Xoom bought in the USA 2 weeks ago.

I do, but if I try to launch it says "not installed".

I had same issue with movie editor program. It is just the shortcut that is broken, if you add another one, it should work.

Big thanks SnakeManJayd. Never thought of that

Premature?
Funny how the fedex package secures the Xoom beter than the original motorola box ever did.

Maybe - or maybe the upgrade is coming soon. That's my guess.
I don't like you guys, I'm jealous, I'm in the UK where we don't even get the XOOM yet let alone the dream of ever getting 4G. I'm going to play with the loser kids cause they're nice to me *sob*.

Galaxy Tab 10.1V,Android 3.1 ?!

Any one knows when come upgrade ? wierd, can finde any info....
were probably wont hear anything till it hits.
if it hits.....
Sent from my GT-P7100 using XDA Premium App
its quite sad actually, considering that the LE SGT 10.1 Google I/O already has gotten the official update...
:|
Yeah, if we get it.
What's the reason that we wouldn't be eligible for the current update. My 10.1v device looks pretty stock, but I've noticed other people talking about having access to samsung app store which my tablet definately doesnt have. I thought the software was basicly the same on the devices.
Can anyone explain the actual differences that result in the 10.1v not being able to get this recent update.
Sent from my GT-P7100 using XDA App
the other thing to keep in mind is that the 10.1v is a 3g version while the 10.1 is a wifi. once the 3g slim 10.1 is released we may see the 3.1 update. lets hope its soon

hope u right dude. coz it looks like a crap. all tablets with honeycomb 3.0 already have an upgrade to 3.1, EXEP US! who can answer me this question ? Vodofone? dunno. Sumsung?- no idia, looks like they forget about 10.1v....
What I care more about is, when will we get the source code for the device kernels. So that we can actually change the CPU speed and make a blazing fast device out of this damn thing.
I called a few days ago Samsung support Benelux (Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg).
The man on the phone told me 3.1 is comming also to the 10.1v but all he could say was "this summer".

The Bulgarian Samsung Support don't know anything about that... is there some new info?
As the 10.1V version is exclusive to Vodafone, i think you should ask Vodafone about the update.

yes but samsung provides the updates. vodafone only test and approves it.
Indeed it's not easy to get an answer. Vodafone refers to Samsung and they refer to Vodafone.
Like I said someone from Samsung Benelux support told me "this summer". This can also mean september. We will see, but don't count on getting it before august. Thats my feeling.
Vodafone operates in australia too. Maybe will have to wait for their summer

The same way that u receive an update for android phone.
I Own a Nexus S phone and it was the first to receive the 2.3.4 android update, i got a message that was an system update was ready for it.
I said yes to the update, downloaded it, and installed it without loosing any data.
I think he lied to you. Ive been in contact with samsung benelux 10 days ago. He said the mobile device carriers are responsable for the 10.1v models.... lets hope he was wrong.

3G Xoom 3.2 Update

Anyone know why the 3G Xooms did not receive the update to 3.2? It seems kind of surprising to me that the earliest adopters were not the first to receive the update.
verizon are probably having to test and push it out is my guess

Hmm good point.
i may be wrong... but I don't think VZW has a steak in the fire on this one.
I thinking we will get it when we send in our xoom to get the 4g upgrade. They will probably want to do it all at once, though I could be wrong.

How do you think it would be advantageous for them to do it during LTE upgrade?
Remember, many people will choose not to send in their Xooms.
Also, there's an existing infrastructure in place to handle the updates by MEID, over the air.
I'm not saying it won't happen your way, I'm just not able to think of any compelling reason to change the usual update method.
My only reason I think this, is based on installing the LTE modem, flashing the software, configuring it and testing it to make sure it works. I could be wrong but that's my train of thought. Otherwise I'd assume we would be seeing the update already just like the before. Remember wifi deployed alongside 3g last time. I am just making an assumption so if my thought process is off please let me know

I hope we dont have to wait for the modem upgrade. That being said; I had to wait 8 days for 3.1 here in Austin TX.
Would be nice if they sent the upgrade out on demand.

According to their twitter acct - "U.S. Motorola XOOM users: Android 3.2 rolling out in phases for Wi-Fi only devices. Verizon users can expect rollout in the coming weeks."
So whatever "......in the coming weeks" equates to time but it sure don't sound like soon......
Unfortunately, "In the coming weeks" in Google land means 1-2 months.

It wouldn't kill them to make a public announcement about why on Facebook or their own website. Instead we like leaving customers in the dark.

Netflix callout on Asus TF microsite is gone now...

So I know I'm crazy, but not insane. Checked the TF microsite here last week and plainly saw Netflix was listed under the 'Special APP' section. Happened to look at it for something else today and it's gone. Just an observation.
I, for one, am bummed.
Yeah, yeah, I know I can root and patch...
damn..
ASus wtf you doing man?!

I like Netflix. I like the Transformer. Why can't they play nice? But with this simple Xoom patch, it works fine on the Transformer.... So let's hope Netflix(?) does something about it? Or is it Asus(?) needing to do something? Or could it be Nvidia(?) I don't know!

Well, Netflix is not officially supported on any Honeycomb tablet other than the new Lenovo. Could be that Asus asked for permission to included the necessary lib file and Netflix said no (exclusive contract?).

Dear Customer,
I apologize for this issue. I have been informed that there is no native Netflix app, there are certain certification process that needs to be completed before a tablet can use this service. We do not have a date of when certification will be complete. I apologize.
Best Regards,

Works since this mornings update.
Yup, saw that - thanks though.
Asus hasn't put Netflix back on the list of Special Apps on the microsite though. Guess whoever put it up there last time is a bit gunshy

Taking the plunge

Hey,
This morning my xoom arrived. The after spending £430 of my hard earned money I started to feel rather skeptical as I had never played with any android 3.0 tablet or even held the xoom in my hand before. At 11.00 the postman arrived to deliver, opened the box and switched it on. The initial impressions is that this is by far to best piece of tech I have invested in. Thinking back to my ipad I really did question why did i bother ith tht junk.
Just a quick thank you to all who advised on my previous posts about the xoom, it's brilliant.
Have a good day, and jordan
Glad to see u like it let the modding and fun begin =]
