another popular xoom forum say japan have got the 3.1 update
According to one Russian forum this 3.1 Japanese update supports SD card! There is directory /sdcard-ext, which is actually SD card.
It has build number: H.6.4-15. Kernel 2.6.36.3 [email protected]#1 and it has Firmware configuration version string: GAS_ASIA_HUBKDDI_P007
interesting indeed...
maybe 3.2 for US xoom's will include sd support after all...?
see also here https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/410288 ?
Sooo, if you've updated to US 3.1 it's worth changing back to UK just for SD support.
For slower updates for 3.2 etc. I am thinking not still...

Nah, if you've already updated to 3.1 and need SD support, you're better installing Tiamat kernel.
isn't the japanese version a wifi only?
does it matter? its sd card support
its been said that Non-US xoom will get sd card support.. and good thing is, it is suppose to be rolling out as we say..
Any chance we could see a full system dump?
so far, i think the rollout only started in japan today, with a "special" build for japan/asia
i think europe will follow in the next few days.
just checked on my euro 3g xoom in germany and there is no update available at the moment

android police on it too
I wonder when Canada will get it, they make no mention of Canada besides saying *non-us* I'm hoping its soon.

sound same time as UK/EU I'd say.
I remember aaaaaaages ago that MotoCA on Twitter said something about the SD card support coming soon and sparked a lot of rumours then
Canada are non-US too

Relax Fellow US Xoomers
i think we the US Xoom will still get the SD support. it is just a matter of time. this 3.1 update was given to us about a month or so ago. and it is just now hitting the rest of the world xoomers. so let hang in there, as stated in other thread. the US Xoom is a GED (Google Experience Device) so all the updates are coming from google directly. and the Xoom will be the US Xoom's will be the first to get any direct update from google.
this 3.1 update that is now rolling to the rest of the world was the same 3.1 we got with a few tweeks from motorola which implemented the SD fix. that's becasue the international Xoom is not a GED. it is MED (Motorola Experience Device). so all updates will come from Google to Motorola to International Xooms. i can bet that we will get the 3.2 fix soon, and it will take another month or so before the rest of the world gets it. that's just how it's going to be.
the US Xoom is the best experence you will get from Google. and in the future i can see Google making some feature exclusive to US Xoom. that's all part of the GED. i am going to wait it out, becasue i still have a good 15GB on my Xoom, even after a total of 515 apps install. i keep my media in the cloud, so i don;t have to worry about media files taking up space.
got this via notification email this morning...

Want news about updates to non-U.S. Motorola Xooms? Follow this thread. Android™ 3.1 for Motorola XOOM™ will soon be available over the air to all Motorola XOOM users in Europe. We expect the over-the-air deployment to begin in early August, with the package being available for pull by August 9th.

Meh too little to late, gave up waiting updated to 3.2 with my UK 3G xoom. Methinks Moto would be better served hiring the Tiamat team...LOL
Lordao
I'm sorry but how can it take that long to add in different locates the app on the market does it in 10seconds.
Motorola has no reason to delay it this long.
when people use my xoom and say yer i might get one.
I have to then reel of a speech about putting us firmware.
motorola why isnt the uk xoom a GED?
The only thing I can think they are putting in is support for non us external keyboards.
Other than that. Everything is in 3.2
In fact they should push them up to 3.2 anyway

I thought the Non US 3.1 is more like 3.2 anyway? Didn't they get SD Card functionality with 3.1 instead of 3.2?

If I remember correctly, the SD fix with non-US 3.1 is a Moto fix and not a Google one so, technically, it's not like 3.2 at all. It's 3.1 with a Moto SD fix.

Too late Motorola, announced the Update for Canada "soon" been over two months and nothing not even a peep if it follows Europe or Asia or anything. I am ahead of 3.1 anyways. Been running 3.2 and happy no thanks to Motorola.

Stupid people complaining about the keyboard layout. They don't think of people in other countries who are then made stuck with an UK-layout while their country uses US-layout. Like here in The Netherlands. US-layout is what we use here, but the keyboard sold here for the Xoom is UK-version. If that turns into an UK-layout, then screw those yankers asking for UK-layout. They don't think of other people!

Dear Fans, due to some policy changes from Google where Acer has to comply, the A500 Honeycomb 3.2 OTA update will be postponed to 25th August, we apologize for the disappointments and upsets but we will be bringing the final and stable update to all of our A500 fans asap! Please be patient guys

Very interesting considering that Xoom and the Transformer are getting 3.2 updates already (and are continuing to get them). I do appreciate that Acer is at least updating us compared to our last udpate (3.1) which Acer did not give straight answers about. I'm not trying to start a controversy here but I wonder what's really going on with this update delay?
F-ing typical...
I'm guessing they're trying to Sync up all OTAs for every region. The 25th sounds reasonable for the 2 week delay; like how HC3.1 was initially released June 21, and when it finally hit all markets, July 4 here in the US.

We got our 3.2 update about 2 and a half weeks ago.It will be nice to see 3.2 update from acer finally,but it did'nt bring many changes to asus,except the ability to zoom in on non tablet campatible apps.It did'nt fix the internet problem or video.I also noticed it said milaysia,so it will be longer for us i guess.
Coming from an American Samsung phone, this seems like an early release rather than a delay

Can you output ton 1080p through HDMI out of your Eee Transformer? I'm hoping 3.2 for acer will let your output to 1080p, currently its only doing 720p.
Also your acer, did you happen to make a backup before all the custom roms? Like just after rooting and clockworkmod? -__- i'm in need to get a backup for a a500 USA a500. Super file manager deleted my whole micro SD card with my backup.

But what were the policy changes and was it really a change or a "hey you're ****ing up fix it before we yank the license" type thing? Given the similarity of the hardware, what was Acer doing differently than Asus or Motorola that they have to postpone the release? There are so many things I can think of that it makes my head spin.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Acer worse than I hate any other corporation(The FSF and similar entities being ones I'd actually trust). I just wonder is all.
did they say "final" ?

I used the same app that I used to root 3.0 to root 3.1.
Acer have a contract with Google to release the devices with Android.
so if Google change policies Acer have to follow that... and cannot violate the contract...
look far more than your devices please.
many things have to be taken in consideration.
so far I do not care anything about 3.2 ... what really that will give to me... nothing more, nothing much...
maybe the 4.0 will...
why people want more and more and more and more and more... and when they got what they want, they want more and more and more and more again...
Patience is mere virtue...

GIVE LESS MONEY TO GOOGLE WHEN THEY DO THE CONTRACT ? as an answer totally reliable
I'm perfectly content with 3.1. Some people just NEED to have the new because they feel it's their right. Be thankful that they are pushing to get 3.2 out as quick as they can.
I eagerly await the 56 posts about the OTA update not working.

Only if they can let us know earlier? Although I would like to get the update a.s.a.p, it's not that of a big deal for several days/weeks sooner or later, but have no where to know accurate info made me feel bad.
At least now I can quit checking for updates every five minutes.

Running 3.1 stock, rooted, custom kernel, overclocked, Netflix modded, GPS modded - take your time, Acer. In no hurry to factory reboot
Because its for Malaysian owners, Acer america doesn't post ****. They did however today say there is some new upcoming news to be announced in the next few days, but that could be anything... Acer really sucks with the social media era.

It would be great, if only ICS wasn't slated for Q4 to say the least, and you should add Acer adapting and testing time... And that's IF they will bother to release it at all.
Regarding ICS, I put more hope in the Community than in Acer.

I understand the GPS issue is more of an issue with 3.2 since this versions seems to be the same for a500 and a501. On a500 it was less of an issue since it is not planned to be used on moving around tablets whilst a501 is supporting 3G and hence GPS might be an issue. Since both tablets have nearly the same hardware it will be fixed all at once and has to be working, otherwise at least a501 customers might complain about it. So why not wait for another 10 days and it is done well.
You need to check your facts.....that was the old CEO/founder of Acer, as in not currently working for Acer who made those comments. Akin to Paul Allen saying something like he doesn't like Win 7 or something like that.

ASUS Transformer ICS update leaves tablets unusable
By Ed Burnette | February 29, 2012, 2:00pm PST
Summary: Anxious to upgrade your ASUS EEEPad Transformer to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)? This time it doesn’t pay to be an early adopter.
Late last week ASUS started rolling out an over the air update for the original EEEPad Transformer. If you haven’t installed it yet, don’t. It can cause random reboots and generally make your tablet unusable.
I installed the update over the weekend and have had nothing but problems ever since. The main problem is that every couple of hours it will decide to reboot itself, and then to add insult to injury, the reboot fails. The tablet hangs on the startup after rebooting, and you have to turn it off and back on to clear the problem. The Transformer doesn’t have a removable battery, so to do a hard power-off you hold the power button for about 10 seconds. Luckily that works.
Dozens of frustrated ASUS customers have posted irate messages about the problems over in the XDA and Transformer forums. Besides the random reboots, some report intense battery drains and crashes of common apps. Here are a few of the threads tracking the issue:
ICS boot problem
Random Reboot Investigation
Working solution for random boot issues (not really)
Read this now !!! Post all ICS and ICS related info here only !!!!!
[SOLVED] Ice Cream sandwich update basically bricks TF101 (still bricked, sorry)
[HOW TO] ICS update problems? - fix them with these steps (didn’t help me)
My TF101 randomly reboots after Ice Cream Sandwich update!!
Reboot loop less than 36 hrs after ICS upgrade
Some people have reported no problems at all, so it’s a bit of a crap shoot whether or not you’ll be affected. Some say that factory resets, clearing and wiping everything has fixed the problem but it did not fix it for me or a lot of others. My advice: Don’t upgrade until ASUS retracts this ill-fated update and puts out a better version.
Have any one new news for the update for G users?

I would think Asus would want to address some of the issues reported with the TF101 release first before they release anything to the G.
Asus Italia stated "tf101g will receive ics update by the first days of March"..
So.. We are at the 11th..
Dunno what to think about.

Considering some of the issues with some users with the TF101 and ICS, it may be better that they are waiting to release the TF101G until that is fixed.
Unless you want to be one of the "'lucky" ones who have random unpredictable reboots due to a firmware issue.
I think I can wait but there is no communication from ASUS on G version at all. This is even frustrating.
