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.

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 Euro xoom???????

Hi all.
Im really angry about Euro 3g xoom update.
Motorolas behaviour is unbelievable.
No support for update. No support at all. They says to me they dont knoe when 3.1 update will be avaiable.
Asus released 2 weeka ago the update for is device.

I hear you, ive had the UK Xoom since April and ive been through all the stages....shock, anger, dissapointment and now acceptance
Some point to Google being the problem, but I suspect its Motorola and their distain for anything outside the US. I wont be buying their products again.
As an interim measure I suggest using a 3rd party launcher such as ADW or Launcher Pro. have found the Xoom to be much more stable and a pleasure to use with these great apps. 3.01 is frankly a disgrace.

i know you are talking about the 3g version, but i have the wifi and thought exactly the same, I was reluctant for moto in the first place but thought if google were pulling the strings of updates it wouldn't be so bad.
in the end i flashed the us wifi rom and got 3.1 in a few minutes...
it is pretty poor... a few languages to be added in and maybe a tweak here and there and job done - but noooo

I'm also angry and disappoint. The hardware of Xoom is really good, but the customer service is really horrible if you are non US. I think this will be my first & last Motorola product I will have (unless its for free).

To be honest, I quit giving a ****, I wont get rid of it but moto is on the list of people with **** customer service not to buy from again. There is nothing I hate more than big companies who will take all your money then screw you.

Like Lothaen I have the Wifi only and upgraded to the US image and 3.1. It's great but that doesn't excuse the fact that Moto are holding back the 3.1 update outside the US. When I ordered the Xoom it was my impression that it would be a Google Experience device. That's not the case if you're outside the US.
Don't get me wrong, I love this thing... I just think Moto could be doing a better job.

I added them to the similar list as Comet - although comet still beat Moto for me... I'll definitely avoid buying anything that could go wrong from them again... TV/vacuum etc. - nothing that has the potential to be repaired by them...
and nothing that may require update/support from Moto

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

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.

Becase there is no non us wifi/3g availabel 3.1 update. How suprised are we, after reading all that sweets and Nice in the USA. Hope that we gonna get itm ever.

News on Gingerbread update for P1010L!

Well, just wanted to share some information that fell on my lap with you guys.
I got in contact with Samsung Chile via Twitter here in South America, and I asked about the Gingerbread update for the Galaxy Tab Wi-Fi. They replied saying:
"@Samsung_Chile: Estamos trabajando en el update, debiera estar en 2 meses más. Para videochat puedes ocupar Skype o Quick Saludos!"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It basically translates to: "We are working on the update, and it should be available in another 2 months. For video chat, you can use Skype or Qik."
Well, considering this came from the OFFICIAL Samsung Chile Twitter account, there is some credit attached to it. But then again, the same person didn't know that Skype is a) not supporting video chat for ANY Tab officially and b) that Skype needs 2.3.4 to work for video as far as I know.
So take that as you will. The word comes from the official Samsung Twitter account, so that counts for something. But I think a grain of salt needs to be applied in this case.
Just sharing the news with you guys! Hope this answers some questions for the rest of us Wi-Fi owners.

any news for the GT-P1000 ?

I was holding off on rooting/flashing my Tab because I was waiting for the official update to hit T-Mobile USA customers.
I'm glad I finally said "screw that" and flashed the Overcome 2.3 ROM. It's really easy to do, and if you're tired of waiting I'd recommend going ahead and giving it a shot.

I would, but I have the Wi-Fi model of the Tab. Not the 3G. This clearly says P1010L! Not the 3G model!
And the Firmware isn't compatible across both versions, sadly.

I'm guessing it'll also be in 2 months then. I mean, why not? If they are rolling out the update for the P1010L in 2 months here, it stands to reason that they'll give the P1000L the same treatment... after all, it is the more popular model, I think.

Great news for you!
I have the GT-P1010 and hope it applies to mine as well. I've been holding out as I didn't want to accidentally brick mine trying to root it so this is wonderful news! I wasn't sure they would do it cos I heard the P1010 model has inferior parts which make the ginge update impossible. A sliver of hope is definitely better than none and I'm content to wait 2-3 months for the update to happen...if it does.
Thanks for sharing the news!

Yesterday I recived a response from Samsung Mexico about when and if there will it be an update, the response was this:

You never know, it could be that the Mexican branch has no idea of what they are talking about, or it could be the Chilean branch that is mistaken. There's no way to know, really. I just hope it'll happen because it'd be terrible if it didn't. Froyo is alright and all, but it doesn't hold a candle to Gingerbread.
And with no Dev scene for the P1010, we are sh*t out of luck in trying to get GB on our own...

just so you guys know, you can get Skype working on the P1010 using the modified APK in the android software development forum from user "droidrx". it works on my GF's fine, except that while you must hold it in landscape mode, the camera feed that the other party sees is rotated 90 degrees.

Also, unless the app has changed, only the back camera works so no real face-to-face

I got a tweet back from @samsungsupport on the question of GB on the P1010. They claim that "we (samsung) are not permitted to speculate. Stay tuned!"
Now you could argue that they are hinting that it may happen and to stay tuned for updates. I personally dont think it will happen but they have been slightly ambiguous.
I wish they would though, i need something to play around with on my Tab!

Moto started contacting some device owners asking for their participation in a new Xoom-related project. There's a decent chance this project is actually an ICS betatest program.

I think they did the same thing with the Atix and/or Bionic. Anyone with experience in those devices know how long this beta testing goes for?

Hahahahaha and a double LOL @ this thread. As an early adopter Xoom owner (got it the day it came out), and this really goes for anybody who has owned a Xoom for longer than 6 months, I'm used to software and features (4G anybody?) being implemented by everybody but Motorola first. Hell, with Motorola's track record and commitment to customer satisfaction, you should expect your official ICS to be released about mid August.

But this is a GED.

I would imagine that the GED Xoom will get ICS before Motorola push it out to non-GED Xooms.
I would also imagine that GED Xoom will get ICS before TP...
Unless Moto are taking full responsibility for the GED Xoom the same as the non-GED xooms - I would have thought they would want the GED to get ICS ASAP really...
Moto can then take their time and make sure stuff works really well with the Moto update for non-GED xooms...

As we have seen Google using ICS xooms at live shows.
It must mean its pretty stable, who would risk a crash on a live show when they could have honeycomb on it ( slow but not much crashes apart from the browser)
So Google having a working ICS for the last few weeks and no sign of sharing it it worrying.
If Asus do get the first ICS tablet out in the market beating the only GED tablet available, what does that say for future of GED tablets? does Google care about the tablet market?
The only reason I want ICS is that there is a slight hope the browser will be stable. So many large websites just crash. Normal websites hang lucky to get more then a few tabs open.

I dont think that the 3G and 4G Xooms can really be considered GED's since VZW has to tinker with the software and are responsible for pushing it out
The WiFi Xoom is, in my opinion, the only GED
Wish I had the WiFi version instead of my non-activated 3G version

And yet the Verizon Xoom is actually running the latest version of Honeycomb (3.2.4) while the WiFi Xoom is stuck on 3.2.1. haha

The differences in the versions have to do with fixes and features that are specific to those devices, ergo, the 3G/4G's 3.2.4 isn't any better than the wifi's 3.2.1.
