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!!!

Received update .30

Just received my first update, it is build number:
Acer_A500_2.6.36.3_4010.30_COM_GEN1 I had Chinese build on, then I updated
to Acer_A500_1.139.04_4.010.22_COM_GEN1. I updated .22 yesterday and the new update arrived when I started tablet about an hour ago. Can't see any difference. I live in Archbald Pennsylvania if that means anything

Let's make that +2, I also updated from 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 (stock, Mexico) to 4.010.22_COM_GEN1 (USA), now I'm getting 4.010.30_COM_GEN1, I'm currently in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
Maybe NOW they're pushing the updates worldwide, at least for COM_GEN1 devices, which is GREAT.
BTW is a 44MB download, I recommend to change the title to 4.010.30_COM_GEN1.

just got the same update. I was also on chinese one and than .22. I don't see any difference at all. I'm from Croatia.

Dito - Leaked 3.1 > .22 >.30
First install failed, then restored saved recovery and took off sd-card: second try = success.
No differences found yet....

Nice, I want to download .22 > .30, mine also failed the first time, unroot and you can update, do it before because if it fails you need to download the whole update again ((arg)), root works once updated sweet! so root.
I'm trying factory reset after my backup to see if it works and if does or doesn't wipe Acer recovery and cwm, 'cuz if it does and enter a boot loop then I'm a little screwed, will waste 20 more min of my life unbricking

same thing. I had the emea stock of mexico, and i updates manualy to the com with the help of the post here at XDA. Got update .30 20 min ago(i was rooted and everything).
I am glad too see that many people are supporting this great product, specially on mexico where the only real competition the xoom and the ipad monopoly.
Anyone knows what does this update fixes?

same here in Thailand.

No, no one knows but acer, and acer does not publish a change log or changes.
And no, Xoom is not competition for the iconia, almost $ 4,000.00 pesos more expensive, that is freaking $ 340 US dollars +, and no USB!?, only good thing is a better screen (color depth), hell ipad2 is a lot better option than a Xoom, did I mentioned is cheaper.

I also received an update this morning. It was 49 meg and my current release is 4.010.09_com_gen2.
I believe it was 4.010.08 before the update.
I'm in Tucson, AZ

Same here! Was about 117 mb though

Why not update your profile and put your location there like a lot of us do? I also like to know where people are from. I'm from beautiful Cape Cod. As you can see on the left of my post.

Got a 44mb update like others. Update went smooth, rebooted and got to 4.010.30_COM_GEN1
Previous rom was from the " Full 3.1 Update (Not OTA) - Acer_A500_4.010.22_COM_GEN1" thread and was rooted.

New firmware release on Friday

Asus support have just told me that there will be a new firmware release on Friday.
The release "is expected to fix a couple of issues with 3.2 (apps related)."
I've asked if it fixes the compass calibration issue. Finger's crossed!

Let's hope it doesn't break root for the rest of us

Great news. Thanks!
Let's see if I get the OTA after removing CWM.
Regards.

Sounds great!
Wish the problems I got would also solved with this version.
TF101 bug list.
Firmware : official 3.2
Model: TF101 16GB
1. Static(photo) shifted to left by 2/3. The right side became black. No problem for live wallpapers.
2. Short cut on home screen became black. Widget content is also black. Became normal after reboot.
3. If apk calls YouTube apk. The screen became half dark but not freezed. But TF101 YouTube apk still work fine.
4. Sometimes got messed lines on screen lower part. Disappear after running other apk.

If it cures the wifi problem, opera problem, adw problem, irritable bowel problem let me know and i'll install 3.2

Awesome ...wonder when will it have Netflix support though

Just don't install, right? I'm sure a dev will incorporate the additions to their respective roms

hopefully this will cure the dimming and apparent hang when you launch and reference an object with multiple viewers. Rotating the screen back and forth is getting a bit old.

You have to love the way Asus really stays on top of things with timely releases and bug fixes. It's why I bought an Asus instead of "that other brand".

Exactly. I didn't buy the Tab 10.1 because its still stuck on 3.1.... and also our keyboard dock just flat out pwns

Hopefully they will resolve some of the browser problems. Also the issue with having to rotate the screen after every power off.

I hope this too. I think they fixed some things while making 3G version firmware and it`s time to release them for the "regular" TF users. I hope they fix the browser because I spend 90% of my TF browsing. Hope it`s smooth and fix the rendering blocks on some sites.

I just rooted mine with Prime 1.7. It seems to be a bit laggy compared to the stock rom. How can I revert back to the stock, so that I could install this update when it comes out.

I wish they could fix the b70 thing so i can root my device!!

I bet there will be only one firmware for both models, WiFi only & 3G, because even the standard TF has a phone.apk.
Let's hope this time we'll see a real update. Last Friday they put 3.2 with release date 2011/08/12 on their website, but after I downloaded it to check, if it's really newer than the OTA relese, I found file date 2011/07/30 inside.
In my opinion the current release is a catastrophy, because of too many issues/bugs. That's why I refused to install it so far.

TF101 ftw!

OTA?
Is the upgrade OTA? Or will you need to do it manually?

Agreed, with the others who welcome the update, it has come pretty quickly. Making small incremental updates is the safest way to work, well done Asus.

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

New firmware "soon"..

My message to Asus.
"[Problem Description]
After the latest firmware update which included Netflix and the app backup program, I
have found that the touch screen no longer is sensitive enough to pick up my stylus.
Prior to the update it worked near flawlessly for note taking and drawing apps. Now
however I am lucky if it picks it up at all. Manila input via my fingers still works well.
Also, the app backup app does not work at all. It consistently fails regardless of the
choices I make, whether it be data, data and app, or even the size of that I choose.
Please advise if these are known issues and if an update is in the works to rectify the
issues. Thank you."
Their message back.
"Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
We will release new FW 8.6.5.19 for this issue soon."
Just as a heads up for anyone also having these issues as I am.

I want the firmware with ICS please.

That would be nice.....but in the meantime I'd love to be able to use my stylus for handwritten notes again....

I really do suspect that they've halted the current update and will be pushing the new one instead... I know there seems to be conflicting information on that score, but why keep pushing a flawed update when you've already made a new one?

A backup app? Haven't seen that? I wonder if that is in the update they pushed today.
-----
yep just found it. 20 minutes?! Not doing that immediately

It definitely fixed the app backup....said 20 minutes...took more like 5. And my screen is sensitive enough to use the stylus again, though it doesn't seem quite as sensitive as it used to be. :-/ ah well...here's to a speedy update to ICS...^_^
