Motorola releasing 3.1 update to Wifi users today!!

Hello Xoomers!! Motorola announced that they are releasing Honeycomb 3.1 to Xoom Wifi owners starting today in phases. I believe the updates are based on your MAC addresses on your Xooms, this was what I was told (sources withheld) but I can not confirm this 100%. Anyway, we should start seeing a steady rollout of updates as there have been no issues with the updates with Xoom 3g owners. Please be sure to thank me
Fingers crossed!!
Forgot to mention, the official WIfi only version of 3.1 does NOT contain the Movie tab in the marketplace. No biggie to me, but it will be released sometime later.

I hope this is true bc u have no idea how happy just seeing this post made me lol.

Is ut only the US version of wifi-only that will start to get the update?
How about the European version? Will it start to roll out to us to?
Can only find info that people with the US version have got it. What about we with Eu version,

LOL..I pissed my pants while typing it I was so happy! But yes I have confirmation fro other Wifi owners who have received the update this morning EST. Also there has been official word on the update being released to wifi users. I cant wait to see the popup on my xoom. Remember though, its in phases, so please be patient people. Also, 3.1 does not fix the slowness in auto rotate because this is not a google problem, its an issue with the Xoom models which should be patched soon(again sources withheld) may have something to do with increasing the cache but again Im not 100% sure on this. Good luck!!

FRom what I was informed, it only appears that the US versions will start receiving updates today, there seems to be some confusion on when the Euro and Canadian models will receive the updates...sorry

Got my OTA this morning on my Wi-Fi Xoom in US.
Kinda ticked off that we Wi-Fi people get snubbed out of the Movie app for no reason. Especially when I have a trip this weekend that I was looking forward to using the movie app.

i got my ota update at around 12:30am last night. did a restore to stock and then used power+volup button to reboot and then check updates.

what do you mean snubbed out of the movie app? movie editing or movie watching?

great. seems like you have a lot of info from your sources. so i will ask you this, without providing exact info (dates, time, etc.), are we close to an SD fix? Simple yes or no.

This was not done purposely, looks like their was a "bug" which caused issues with Wifi owners. But I would rather have the update now than to have to wait another few weeks just for the movie tab to be added. Enjoy your 3.1!! I'm told that the auto-rotate issue should be patched also hopefully soon!!

Hey there! yes, the SD issue is NOT Motorola's fault, contrary to what is believed..this is a issue with Honeycomb itself which Google is aware of and will fix. The other tablets that do have the SD card support are using a "work-around" but its not the official fix. From what I "hear" the issue is how Honeycomb sees the SD card, this will be officially fixed soon. I believe that the other tabs will receive an update for the SD card also, as the way it works for them is not "official"

thanks for the response.

Can anyone provide a reliable link for this? People with wifi have been getting updates randomly for the last couple of days, so I'm not sure this is news. Not that I don't trust unsubstantiated conjecture, but... actually, I don't trust unsubstantiated conjecture.

Another post eslewhere in this forum mentioned that Motorola tech support said that a "fix" (not sure if that means Xoom only temp fix or a permanent fix from Google) for the SD card was finalized and would be pushed at close to the same time as the 3.1 update.

OK! That's proof! Of course, means about as much as the 3g OTA updates for those of us still waiting... Gah. Must stop obsessing! Need resizable widgets so badly!!!

3.2 OTA in United States??

Hey has anyone gotten the 3.2 OTA in the USA yet? I'm in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA (outside of LA); but I bought the device in Portland, OR..Idk if that makes any difference though.

3.2 Update
I got the OTA update to 3.2 here in the USA yesterday. New York
Model A500
Version 3.2
Kernel Version 2.6.36.3+
Build Number Acer_A500_7.0006.01_Com_Gen1

I'm in the CA central coast & no update

Still waiting here in eastern MA

Negative in Rhode Island.
I'm not sure I want it based on some of the negative 3.2 threads

What version of 3.1 did you have? I doubt it was 4.010.13

Got it here in MA. If you have rooted your device and haven't done the OTA, I suggest you wait even if it does come available to you. There is no way to root 3.2 and you will lose CWM if installed. So once you get it youre stuck with 3.2/no root till someone figures it out.

In RI here as well and nothing - also, when it comes in, I'll put it off until after all the reports are in.

In MA as well and nothing here.

So far, I don't think any Gen 2 unit has received the update.

That's what it seems like. I have a Gen 2 no OTA

Oh, that's why? What's the difference between Gen 1 and Gen 2? I thought there's only one hardware, I think I saw the hardware info somewhere when I checked it on the tab, and it said rev. 1.
I'm in Socal, and so far nothing, I even went into the settings and manually checked a lot times. But as I said in another post, I doubt the location is what Acer used to decide which to upgrade first. It will be very easy to decide which country your device is in now from your IP, but other than that, it'll be hard to see where you are in the country. And to actually get a GPS location for this upgrade purpose is just an over kill, waste of their time to even develop anything like that and put in the software. If Acer needs to devide the whole population into groups to avoid congesting, there are a lot other ways to do that.

3.2 finally arrives in the UK

Not sure why it takes three months to get the UK update to 3.2 after the US, but it finally arrived on my MZ604 today... perhaps it's translating from American to English

With films now in the market and a slightly prettier Google+ update, tonight's been pretty good
The keyboard lag seems better I've noticed while typing this out

Has anyone on a MZ601 received the 3.2 update?
I wonder if this will fix the Tiamat 2.2.2 market issue of missing apps?

What build is this?

Can somebody get the link or the zip file for the update please?
I am on a US 3.2 but might have to switch back for this.

There's one good thing about this update, quickoffice HD

considered wiping my xoom and setting it back to the UK 3.2 image - but then thought if i stick it out on the US 3.2 image then i'll probably get ICS 3 months quicker than the UK...

iv just got my update aswell let see after the download if all the bugs iiv found are fixednstill contemplating to root it :/ my sgs22 is but might wait till I get board lol

Is this update 66.0.23.en.EU that we're talking about here?
I've got the option to update to this but my MZ604 is rooted using the any update/any version method so dunno if its wise to update or not.
Can anyone clarify if I can apply this update and still be rooted or will it break stuff?
Cheers.

Why on earth do the 3G's (who paid more for their devices too!) get the updates after the standard Xooms? It's a ridiculous situation - it's not as if Moto don't know the difference between the two and can't create the update for both at the same time! GRRRR

Wen will 3g get it? I might just sell up and get xoom two next month

Honestly? Xoom = fail
I don't get upgrades on time and most of uk banks charge for all market purchases (£1.25 on top for overseas transactions) - not like there is anything interesting to look for anyway (most of apps look and operate like s..t).
I wanted to buy something else then Apple and I ended up with clunky, laggy, buggy, overpriced (£570) prototype of a tablet. Now value dropped 50% and all truth came out - it's just ipad-wannabe.
(also I barely managed to write down this rant because of stupid keyboard lag...).
ICS? I'm tired of waiting. Google can't even release one simple upgrade on time... I'll wait for iPad 3 instead and I promise you that - I will have it before ICS upgrade. At least Apple is always on time with their stuff.

I know this is for the UK 3.2 but it's looking good for AUS - I really hope this resolves the Tiamat market issue!
Just in from Motorola Australia facebook page
"Hi guys, we know you're all eager to download the latest 3G Xoom 3.2 software for 3G devices. We wanted to provide you with another update on timings. Approvals are still in progress and we hope to be able to push the upgrade within the next week. We appreciate your patience."

I wouldn't be in a rush for 3.2 if I were you - I recieved it over the weekend and lost the ability to write to the SDCard again! It was there in 3.1, gone in 3.2 - SDCard is back to read-only, unless you connect via a PC.
Sure, you get an Office app, and some printing utility etc, but going back to read-only SD cards is a major backward step for me!

updated yesterday and then rooted using the 'any xoom any update' in the developement forum. Everything ok

Info from the Acer Facebook page says we will get the update 17th May. As its so close, may pay to wait and get the real deal just in case the releases floating around are not the final for us

actually Acer ANZ posted last night that it was now available to NZ and Aussie

yeh they roll out the ota according to the build version number

Anyone else get it yet?

Nope not yet for me.
*twiddles thumbs aimlessly*

Ok, just got the update notification now downloading 1% done

I just got the notification too.
I'm in Melbourne. it's on 2% only after about half an hour. My guess is that the servers are struggling

Got my upgraded just now. Soo far so good. Just testing out the apps and features. Gmail app is crashing a bit. Keyboard lag is much better

just woke up to find a download ready. Reasonably quick, guess not many people on at this hour If it fixes keyboard lag and nothing else I will be happy.

All installed and no issues so far.
Wifi good.
Bluetooth good.
No screen flicker issues.
App drawer is smooth scrolling in either orientation.
Keyboard lag seems to have gone.
All up, very pleased.

Wots the build no. Can any one tell me pls
I still looking 4 update.zip if anyone has captured it.
many thanks

Mine is Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1

Yup, it's downloading for me now as well.
My Build No: Acer_A500_7.014.15_COM_GEN1

Well I've been using my A500 with ICS all day now. Absolutely love it! Feels like a brand new tablet! Factory reset got rid of all the junk I had accumulated, and ICS just feels so much more polished and complete.
No issues at all apart from browser sync (but I'm using chrome beta now anyway so I don't really care)

Ota 4.4.2 update

Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk

Now it’s important to note that while the update is for both the global and US GSM variants of the Moto G, the rollout is more than likely to occur in various stages. In other words, it could take some time before it reaches all Moto G owners.

Only for phones in the US so far, there's no indication when the rest of the world will follow. All they say is 'soon'. But who knows how long that is...

Patience, guys. The rollout is happening in phases, and for now only 1% of two specific sales channels get the update. They are the guinea pigs, so to speak. Once everything is fine, the update will be approved for more users.

That article is talking about the Google OTA process, there's no way of telling if motorola uses something similar. But posting "I haven't got the ota" doesn't help much either, I guess. So yes. Patience.

I need flash to work with firefox so will not be applying this update when it arrives.
If Dolphin browser had the ability to block apps then I wouldn't have a problem updating to 4.4.2 as I know you can get flash to work with Dolphin, so it's 4.3 for me.
