[Q] Have you received the updates on XOOM (wifi)?

Hi folks,
I bought my XOOM (WIFI only) in USA, and brought it back to China. Some news said Google has released some updates (proxy, etc) for the XOOM at the end of April. Just want to double check, have you received the updates?
I never pay attention to the registration. Shall I register my XOOM in motorola/us/registration?
Thanks,

There have not been any updates for wifi only Xoom. Wifi only has the latest version out of the box.
There was news (on 28 April) that there will be a update, but this was false news.

I havent received any official notice of update... but I noticed a few weeks back that the stock browser wasnt as crashy as usual.... so I went digging in the app list and find that my browser shows version 3.0.1-110420... which seems to indicate a build from Apr 20th.... I'm pretty sure the original version was March 3rd or something. Anyone else notice this?

I don't think the build number refers to a date.
The original 3G browser was 3.0-101999 and the current one is 3.0.1-109065

That update at the end of April was for the 3G Xoom only.

The update was never released.
Also I don't think they will seperate OTA updates between wifi and 3g devices, besides maybe which batch gets them first. I don't see why they would need to do that.

Just got Asus TF - how and when it will be updated to official 3.1

Hello,
Just got my Asus Transformer 16GB from Walmart...so excited!!(ummm don't be jealous - you will get your own once it's available widely JK )
Ok - I turned on the TF - and does anyone know when/how long my TF will get the 3.1 push from Asus? Or I have to download from support.asus.com web site and manually update it
Thx,
rcjpth

Wondering the same thing here. I went ahead and downloaded the FW update at the asus website, but i can't get the tab to pick it up once i transfer it. I'm new at this so any help would be appreciated!

Same here.. I'm not even sure if it's currently wise to upgrade to 3.1 with all the issues people have noted it having.

No issues with 3.1 here and Asus actually pushed it to my device.

How long was it taken so your device received the update 3.1? I'm wondering should I be updating it manually?
Thx,
rcjpth

The update seems to be rolled out by algorithm unknown - some has had to wait days to a week before they receive their update, some get it immediatly.
I received mine the day after the official release in UK. I did a manual check just a few minutes to early, because I received a message that there where no updates available. A few minutes later I get the pop-up about a firmare update being available.

Took me just past an hour, make sure you have more than 50% battery.

I was out of range from 5/31 - 6/6 (evening)... When I returned it connected to my network and immediately DL'd the update - took about 10 minutes.
I have had my TF since May 5th, 32GB.

Yah sorry. My post wasn't meant to say the update took an hour. Rather it showed up after an hour.

I've had mine on for a few hours and still no sign of the update...

Same here. I guess I just have to be patient.

Got update on Thursday, as soon as I opened the box. WW version in Australia.

Yayyy - 2 hours, no update insight yet - no plan to root it because basically nothing special to run or backup - software or purchased apps are stored in market - be prepared for Netflix,,,patient and patient ---- one day Netflix will be played on Asus TF! hhehehe

Alright - I activated my Transformer at 2:55pm and now at 8:30pm it said it got the update - proceeded to the update
For my case, it took almost 5.5 hour to get the update delivered to my TF
Thx all

My 16GB had the update waiting when I first opened the box and turned it on. I went ahead and updated.
But then I found out you can't root with 3.1 yet, so I had to downgrade to 3.0.1 again so I could flash Primordial 3.1.
So don't even bother waiting for the OTA update since you won't be able to root anyway.

I got mine a week ago from Asus OTA. I went to check updates in Settings>About and it said none available, then shortly after I received a notification that an update was available.

Got my update earlier. I did a factory reset and after the initial setup, I went to try and check for update and it found it on my second attempt.
So far youtube has been fine. I dunno about battery life, yet. I've been using it pretty much all day so it's draining quickly.

Got 3.2 update an hour ago, here in Richmond BC Canada.

Got it here in Burnaby. Too bad it's crap. I can't even type in the browser. I tried to reply to this post and after taking forever to load the page, I could only type in all caps (with caps lock OFF) and the delete key just typed random charactors. Go ASUS...

I did the nvflash to unroot also and OTA worked fine. You have to make sure you flash the stock recovery and boot.img also.
I used the batch in this thread and chose option 5. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104
The update check may take a few tries before it shows the update, but it will.
Then the OTA will install fine.

not for me in Toronto too....

No update. London, ON. B6O Tf.... though I'm not sure I want 3.2 after hearing all the complaining from those who got it.

So, what's the general feedback on this 3.2 update? Is it worth the trouble of unrooting?

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.

A500 Honeycomb 3.2 Update Hitting USA

I turned on the Iconia today at about 2:00 PM and I was greeted with then Update Available window. I downloaded the update and preformed the installation.
All went very very well and no hiccups. Typing this now on my A500 on HC 3.2.
For those interested, I'm in northern Virginia.
Build is:
ACER_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2
Been playing with it for a couple of hours now and so far it is all good.
Couple of things you notice right away is the touch screen operation seems to be much smoother. Mine also wakes up super fast from hibernation mode. You now get a little "SD Card Installed" icon in the notification bar when you boot up.

Got the update
I got my update today as well when I turned it on this morning. I'm in Northern Virginia as well. So far I like it. The browser seems a lot smother to me. I connected it to my laptop to see if I could see files on the external sd card. It showed up as an accessible drive, but none of the folders or files were displayed when I opened it up. I created a folder and it did show up in the file manager.
I was on stock 3.1, no root.

Received the OTA
I also received the OTA today as well. I'm just outside of Nashville, TN. I picked up my tab brand new about 3 months ago. Updated to the same build number as the op. No problems with 3.2 at all. Seems really stable and snappy. This tab has always been stock. Tried the newest build of Netflix for kicks, but no luck. Hopefully they will get it going soon without the need for root.

a lot of nova people on here!
3.2 still isn't rooted though right? wont be upgrading til thats done

got it yesterday (Guadalajara, Mexico). Where can I see the changelog?

You can install Taboonay 2.1 or the near stock ROM from ezterry if you want a rooted ROM based on the 3.2 OTA update. They use a different boot loader. Not sure how long it will be before the developers figure out how to crack the new boot loader, so don't perform the update yet if you think you might want to root it or install a custom ROM.
Look in the deveopers thread if you want more information on the ROMS.
I would be Glad to answer any questions on either one. I have tried them both and they are great. I prefer Taboonay 2.1 because I get to chooce the Acer stock apps I want and skip the ones I don't

Tethering with 3.2
After updating to 3.2 are you still able to tether? I have read where some are having issues getting tethering to work after the update.

Updated to 3.2, lost root, but I was mainly worried about that for Titanium Backup.
I can still tether to my Bionic, but haven't tried connecting to an ad hoc wifi AP yet

Got mine on Monday. No root or mods, never had any.

any update on the 3.2 root?
