http://www.androidcentral.com/motorola-xoom-finally-getting-its-4g-lte-upgrade-starting-sept-29
So I come across this article today and now I am beyond pissed off.
I have waited patently for over 6months for my Xoom to be updated to 4g as stated when I bought it. I have watched another manufacturer release a 4g tablet and said no biggie anytime. Now i find out Motorola will be selling a 4g tablet in the next 2 weeks and they have yet to make good on the advertised 4g on the Xoom.
Really? It says right in the URL that the upgrade is starting on the 29th.
If the new Xoom goes on sale on this date that means they have been producing them to distribute instead of taking care of current customers first. How long will it take for them to upgrade all our units.
LTE Upgrade Package confirmation
Motorola of CTDI sent _________ 1 FedEx Standard Overnight package(s).
This shipment is scheduled to be sent on 09/29/2011.
I went to Verizon's site and entered my MEID and personal info.
I am trying to enter my info but after it asks me for my address it tells me it cannot complete. Very frustrating.
I'm filling out the stuff for mine right now, it says I get a free standard dock "while supplies last"
Sad that I have the speaker dock..oh wells a little peace offering it seems like
just completed the form...had not received the official email from motorola yet however. Don't have an address I can use for signed deliveries however. May have to take a day off
I noticed the dock as well. I guess I have one for the office now... Happy about the update finally happeneing, but alittle upset it took so long.... either way, This should breath new life into my tablet. Let's see if Ice cream does the same in a few months.
R U guys rooted if so what you guys did to unroot or what you guys removed to send it back..?? Will they upgrade it if I send it rooted with TIAMAT..??
Of course I go to the signup page and put in my info and what happens? I get a message saying it can't connect and to try back later. This is so annoying.

It's about time. I'm more than a little upset that it took this long but we'll see what happens. It's funny, I had just filed FTC complaints and Better Business Bureau complaints a week ago. I had fun filling out the BBB form. If it goes up the chain at Motor, they will be laughing at my list of suggested remedies for a long time.

I unrooted and will wipe everything before sending the device in. I've waited a long time for this and the last thing I want is it screwed up because of a custom ROM. I read some said they were going to leave it rooted and lock it. I think this is stupid for the time it takes to unroot and reroot, just return it to stock. Who wants the send in the device wait three days only to have it sent back without the update because you thought you would be the cool guy and lock your rooted voided warranty Xoom.
I think they just factory flash it. It won't matter if it's rooted. When they hook it up they use a different cable to activate a section in the memory that can be flashed in one step. Sort of like flashing multiple hard drives for pc's. They actually thought about it at moto! It won't matter if you encrypt it, root it, or load the wrong firmware. It will come back with stock 3.2.2 and locked! Already spoke with a friend at moto about it. They just want to make sure we hide our files from prying eyes. They can't just throw a 4g card in and send it back, because it has to be bench tested to show it is working b4 they ship it back out. Trust me that cable is well worth the money too! Even if you brick your xoom, you can flash it back to stock in one click. But you have to have the file and the software moto use with that cable.

I filled in my RMA request, then immediately got a FedEx email telling me my shipping box tracking number. But in true Motorola fashion, the box still hasn't actually shipped yet...
same here...
Mine and my wife's boxes are out for delivery. Now if I send them out today when do we get em back?

edit* dur. nevermind.
Double check ur numbers. I left out a zero and mine did that.

My box arrived and before I could detain the fed-ex guy for 1 minute to package it he bolted. So I'll head to fed-ex shortly I guess.

I was in the middle of tweeting, when a pop up notification ask me to take part in a survey, so i said yes. The next message said a system update may be available and they wanted me to plug my phone to a PC. I'm about to do it but wanted to know if anybody else got this message aswell?
That's not an update, it's just sending information to Microsoft.

a couple of other HD2 owners reported updates too. Goto your settings after the update and let us know the software versions listed, to see what it updates. Thanks
Unless your handset has a completely different SOFTWARE VERSION and/or ROM VERSION afterwards... you didn't receive any sort of "update".
T-Mobile USA would publicly address a system update for the HTC HD2.
Trust me, I work for them... I would definitely know, considering my manager is the VP of Human Resources and Communications.
I bet you're merely submitting information to Microsoft, nothing more.

Well, our store in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area had 3 as of last night, but of course we sold all of 'em before we could get the FedEx guy outta' the store.
Our store also carries the most volume and moves the most in the state... so we typically come across more of the HTC HD2 handsets, but sell 'em the quickest.
All I can suggest is... keep trying. Persistence will eventually pay off.

Now I cant get it back, I've tried everything, its GONE. I went to a local Tmo store and show the lady, she told me "if thats an update, it'll be there, just go back to settings, and than updates" and I did, it was there still but that was before my phone died and I could update.
this has happen to me in several diferent devices.no updates were available to any of them .
I just got a call from a guy named Josh at HTC Quality Care Department. He called me back regarding there customer satification survey I did on there site a few days ago, I had left a comment letting them know the many of issues I was going through. He notice I had a couple of open tickets with HTC CSR Lindsay, so she passed me up to the Senior HTC Quality Care Dept. Josh said I will be getting a call on Monday regarding these issues because HTC is trying to figure out why the phone is having troubles and nobody has seem to help them out... except me he says. I laugh and said sure, Im willing to do whatever it takes to help you guys . He thank me and said look for a call from a senior advisor on Monday.
your gonna get a email or a call 3 weeks after. when i damage my touch pro 2 door i called them trying to buy a new one since the device was brand new on the market they said they will call me when they have the door for sale actually ebay beat them by 1.5 months
I just got one ofthese surveys or updates.....idk. I already had my HD2 plugged in a PC charging.
The rep on the other end told me that they know that I was the guy who stapled Amy Rabbinowitz's maxi pad to the blackboard in 9th grade. They say they can tell that and a whole bunch more from pinging my phone because it's rooted. The say that if I don't publicly apologize on her Facebook page with 72 hours they'll cancel my contract. I told them no way they can't do that but they told me to read the fine print of my service contract, they can. No courtesy call or anything. Worst part is, Amy Rabbinowitz won't approve my friend request, so there's nothing I can do. I'm just sitting here waiting for the 72 hours to pass and my Evo becomes a paperweight. HELP, WHAT CAN I DO?!?!?!?!?!

Remember: it's not enough to unroot and go "s-on." You've also got to check the "ROOT OFF" checkbox under Menu-->Settings-->About Phone--->Superuser Settings. In fact, you must do this BEFORE you unroot or Sprint will cancel your service and charge you a double ETF.

But only after they kill your hamster and eat it. They said they would do that to me if I didn't stop looking at an iPhone.
Sprint Brother is always watching!!
LOL! That's really funny...
There has to be more to the story. I think Sprint is tracking the rooted users that use the wireless tether and have large amounts of data downloaded. Not just the mere fact that your rooted. Just my .02 cents.
Its like modifying a car. You get a programmer to reprogram the car to perform better the manufacture i.e. Chyrsler, Ford etc cant call you up and say you cant drive our cars anymore. But if you have a warranty yes they can decline your warranty because of it. Same goes for the phone you root it and have a hardware issue that is when Sprint can decline against repairs etc.
I have found that a small aluminum foil tent placed over your EVO will prevent anyone from gathering information from it, this is especially important to do at night when it is charging or whenever you are tethering.

well, i bought 16gb n7 and they delivered n7 with transformer rom installed, im thinking this must be other customer's n7 returned product, anyway, i emailed them asking for a replacement, just got an email an hr ago showing the instruction, with the return shipping to service center, they didnt say they going to cover for the cost of shipping or that's must come out of our pocket.
last week i tried to installed stock n7 rom on this and it works great again without any problem
so should i return this and waiting for the next n7 which maybe have problems?

You ordered a new device and received someones return? That just goes to show you how little they are paying attention to the details while they try to push as many of these things out as possible due to all these pre-orders. Another reason why I feel the need to wait it out for a few more months and see how things are then.
Was the package sealed like new?
I'd honestly return it just because, obviously it had a problem for someone to return it, fixed or not you basically received a "refurb" instead of a brand-new unit. That's grounds for a serious discount.
What makes you so sure it had a non standard ROM?

It might not necessarily be a customers returned unit. If it was just a blank Transformer rom it could be a mess up in the production process. Rememeber Asus make both devices so they will have all those roms floating about. I had a strange rom on my Galaxy Nexus when I bought it but it was defo a new device. It might just be a mistake when they initialy built it.
But if you flashed the N7 rom with no problems and the unit is ok I would just keep it. Opening up a whole set of new potential problems if you swap it..

NVIDIA has announced a recall of its SHIELD tablets, sold between July 2014 and July 2015:
Information on how to obtain a replacement device: http://www.nvidia.com/support/tabletrecall
Official nVidia notice: http://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/notice-for-nvidia-tablet-customers
This should be stickied - this is big news.
Actual Nvidia statement here:
http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/notice-for-nvidia-tablet-customers-nasdaq-nvda-2043927.htm
Coincidentally I'm just awaiting a replacement. My defective unit (not for overheating) reached them yesterday. Hoping they send me out an unaffected replacement by close of play today, though may be subject to delay now I guess.
Yeah new tablet for all \o/
also, double check this: http://tabletrecall.expertproductinquiry.com/registration/registration
how to check battery type on non-stock ROMs?
does anyone know how to check battery type on non-stock roms? I have CM12.1 currently installed and I would rather not need to go back to stock just to find out I have the non-recallable battery type.

The battery type check was added in the latest OTA along with a recall app that is opened if you have the right battery type. You will probably have to flash the new stock build to check.

Have a look at the faq: http://tabletrecall.expertproductinquiry.com/faq/6x1gnn
Q. How do I know if my tablet is affected?
A. The recall includes NVIDIA SHIELD tablets (both WIFI and LTE) sold between July 2014 and July 2015.
Model numbers P1761, P1761W and P1761WX and serial numbers 0410215901781 through 0425214604018 are included in this recall. The model and serial numbers are etched on the left side edge of the tablets and printed on the packaging.
Please go to www.nvidia.com/support/tabletrecall and follow the instructions. You will need to update your tablet with the latest software to determine if your tablet is affected.

Having literally gone through the RMA process myself for an unrelated issue, I'm assuming you complete that online form and they will send a replacement. You have to agree to a statement that your old affected device will be remotely wiped on receipt of your new one. I'm assuming they'll include a prepaid label for you to return it (goes to an address in the Netherlands).
Usual RMA process is you send the defective unit back and upon receipt they will send out the replacement. Has it been made clear what the process is for this recall? It looks to me, given that statement you consent to, they will forward a replacement right away. If so, that is pretty trusting.
I knew unrooting was not a problem, prolly a factory reset suffice but I'm not sure. The problem is the unlocked bootloader. That can't be undone afaik. In any case there is no word about the roms/root/bootloader type we flashed in the meanwhile on the nvidia official faq pages. This an hadrware defect and looks quite serious to them if they ask for a worldwide return, so I'm not even sure we need to worry about whatever software we flashed in

Thanks Cris_c81. Ive to come home and use the reclamation process from the shield tablet.
And Im glad that Nvidia makes it smooth for us consumer to get a safe product now when the current one is proclaimed unsafe to use.
Also, is it ok to make a RMA and then unroot the tablet while I wait for a replacement?
Just did the whole process.
Yes you could call and check your serial number without restoring back to stock, however the RMA process has you using the app( built into the latest OTA) to retrieve RMA code to complete the online process. You do agree to the remote wipe once your replacement is turned on. It also says it will render the tablet in usable. (They likely has a kill switch in the latest OTA also). Just got the confirmation email and it looks to be here in 2-4 weeks. No where during the online process does it say of they want the old device back, however in the email it seems to imply they do. Only way to know for sure is if there is a return postage in the RMA box.

I did the whole process as well for Romania and for some reason i have not received any emails yet -_-
Also i see that they want to return the tablet and i have no problem with that as long as they send any UPS/DHL/DPD courier to my door to pick it up and they pay for the transport since it's their stupid fault.

See this is what I don't know. Because the standard RMA process they ask the customer to foot the cost of paying for FedEx or similar. Unless of course you complain to support and then they send you a prepaid FedEx label, which is what I did

Consider the ginormous screw-up that they did with the battery and reading the process on the page it would seem that they will send you a new tablet and when you open it, the other one will be rendered unusable which basically makes it a giant ball of turd or a brick
Not sure if they want it shipped back or not but by what i'm reading they won't. Even so i don't mind keeping the blank one for spare pieces.

Time to send the phone back, locked bootloader makes this pretty useless.

It really sucks because I paid off an installment plan early to get it, because I love the device.
Now that I've got to return it, I have no idea what I'll end up with. Sprint no longer sells Nexus devices, they skipped the V10, and it'll be a while before they get either the G5 or the M10, and idk whether I'll even like those devices when they do, or whether or not they'll be locked down as well.
I might actually be stuck with the G3 for a while.
over in the tmobile thread we have started a social media campaign... search on twitter for #freethes7edge and #bootloadergate start tweeting to sprint's CEO and to @Samsungmobileus the more we get the better our chances of getting a tool to unlock these phones.
I've been tweeting all afternoon. Hopefully we can get enough people to voice our frustration.

KEEP THOSE SPRINT TWEETS COMING!!! The more we have on board, the more our voices are heard!
Hoping over from T-Mo forums... Help us out too guys! If our device gets unlocked we can probably share the goodness with you as well since it has to be done with a software update or software. Sprint doesn't have someone like John Legere.... if we ***** at him enough he'll ***** at Samsung until we shut up. He hates having his Twitter spammed.

Gave mine back
I'm returning mine this weekend I think. If they unlock it I will get it again, but I'm not paying hard earned money for something I can't fully use.
Let's not give up so easily guys. I have more faith on our developers. They've faced much adversity and this one will be overcomed.

Yea, so I bought my s5 on Swappa about 2 years ago, tried to reactivate today, turns out it slipped through Swappa's verification process and it was a stolen device. It was immediately blacklisted last Tuesday when I activated my s7, so I'm pretty much screwed right now.

Yea, it sucks. Swappa is trying to fix it and waiting for Sprint management to call me, so mad.
