will be interesting to know whats changed
Good stuff, who knows we may get that filtered down if enhancements to the euro eos xoom build, heres hoping.
Good news, I hope the head phone jag issue is fixed.
Since Jelly Bean mine stopped working.
Rob
would be nice if sdcard1 was rw
and external keyboard layout can be configured
For me sdcard1 was read only at the first time I used JB. But after removing then re-inserting (maybe several times) the SD card then finally became RW.
The thing I'm waiting for the most is the ability for Google Search to speak some other language than English ... French please !!!
Has the soak test started yet? Anyone know?

What's strange is that we cannot find any informations about this update except on this thread ... I wonder if there will really be a new JB update, maybe the email shown by androidcentral was an old one talking of the 4.1.1 update ...
Im starting to wonder this as well...perhaps this 'soak' was in reference to the old one.
Sure seems to be quiet on here.
no follow up yet on this next test.
Looks like this was a new email regarding a soak test. New string on the Xoom Owner's Forum asking why there has been no follow up the emails some users received recently. Unless Motorola had an email glitch, there may still be something in the works. As I recall the original soak test announcement for JB had quite a delay from message to rollout.

Judging by that changelog, it appears a new LTE radio is on the way for Stingray...07.23.00. We know the leaked JRO03H build that hit back in August had a new CDMA radio included...03.1A.66PS, but the LTE radio remained the same. Sadly, since the radio firmware on the Xoom is flashed to the actual radio hardware rather than to a storage partition, it can't be dumped for flashing, and thus the only person that actually has that new CDMA radio is the guy who leaked the JRO03H Stingray build originally.
Maybe now that 4.1.2 has updated the LTE baseband, we'll FINALLY get an official Jelly Bean OTA for Stingray. It seems like Google and Motorola have done their part with providing an OS build and radios respectively...now Verizon just needs to approve it.
On a slightly depressing note for those who have ever built AOSP for Stingray...I had a very brief conversation on my G+ with JBQ tonight about the situation with binaries after noticing that every single device had updated Jelly Bean binaries...except Stingray. The latest Stingray binaries are for ICS build IMM76L.
He told me that Stingray binaries will no longer be provided for AOSP. Even though they were always marked as "archived, for reference only" (due to the fact that they don't have a license to redistribute the LTE/CDMA blobs), you could still download up-to-date AOSP binaries for Stingray that at least covered the basics like WiFi and graphics, even though it was on an unsupported basis.
JBQ said tonight "We stopped trying to support stingray when it became clear that we wouldn't be able to license the network stack." So I guess that means that securing a license for Stingray's CDMA/LTE blobs is a lost cause and as such, they've just stopped providing binaries altogether. Sad that they were able to secure redistribution licenses for the CDMA/LTE blobs on toro (VZW Galaxy Nexus), toroplus (Sprint Galaxy Nexus), and crespo4g (Sprint Nexus S), but not for stingray. *shrug*
This, of course, has no affect on actual OTAs. As long as Google keeps releasing OTAs for Wingray, Stingray will get them too albeit on a delay due to Verizon.
It's just sad that, for the longest time, you've been able to build AOSP for Stingray, just without a working radio. Now, if you build it, you'll have to pillage the latest OTA for drivers that cover even the most basic functionality like graphics. Ah well.
OK rant over.

They haven't pushed a new update for quite a while on any Nexus devices. There has never been an ICS version on the AT&T GSM version so I don't think there is just a CDMA issue at this point but an overall issue fixing ICS problems.

I know, think of all the sites and all the articles written about how OEM's can't get their updates out fast enough. Now when Google can not update it's only phones (a lot fewer than any OEM) with it's own OS (something they obviously had the source of for a lot longer than any OEM as they were the ones who built it) not a single article on any gadget blog or Android blog. It strikes me as odd after all the crying about the OEM's on all of theses sites, not a one can muster up a single paragraph about Google and their huge failing at the very same thing.
This is so disappointing. To me it means there's no Android I can safely buy and assume I will receive timely updates. And since I want timely updates it may mean having to look at other platforms. For now I guess it means that the CM team (or other custom ROM) is my upgrade path from now on. But custom roms still get better when official code is released.

issues???? where are these issues people keep talking about??? I've never had any!!! I've used almost every aosp available, as well as the 4.0.4 leak, and my ns4g has never had a single issue!!! **** them and their sorry ass excuses!! They need to hurry the hell up and update us. This is just becoming a giant joke....how can google even show their faces at MWC next to MS who pushed their update to every single device in under two weeks??
Google is starting to lose some serious credibility here, and I'm very close to jumping ship with my next device. I've always been a HUGE fan of google, but with this being my first experience with any nexus updates, you can't exactly expect me to stay loyal after all of this!!
Ok lets clear something up.
MS and Apple can push updates because SHOCKER...... they use cords!
Its not OTA like Google. Right now MS requires a cord and a computer to receive updates.

iOS 5 does its updates OTA. Again, how they are pushed has nothing to do with it. Deals with carriers does have an effect. But the issue with ICS on Nexus devices is not carrier hold up at this point.
According to twitter (last week JBQ responded some tweets), 4.0.4 still has some issues (telephony and kernel issues). Once that's fixed i bet we get our updates. All the OEM ICS OTA right now are on 4.0.3, which does have issues (at least on Nexus S).
Engadget reports that ICS is coming to nexus s in next few weeks.
What do you think, This will be a new version or same 4.0.3 for nexus s 4g and i9023?

What a mess Google made with Android.
Right now, ICS is becoming Android's Vista and if Google don't step up they will lose a lot.
I would expect, at least, some sort of official statement by Google or Android team this but I realize now Google is some mute giant.
I mean, even ZTE communicates better than the big G. Get this, they would talk directly with rom development community. I thought "if ZTE does this having a Nexus must be the balls!" I was wrong...

"It's coming in a few weeks" - that's how Google always announces any updates.
The only info you get from it is: "there will be an update, ics is not officially shelved on the nexus s." No reason to get agitated, anyone can "predict" this as long as Google doesn't let out an official statement.
Define "a few weeks"... it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

That is true, but all this ignoring the more "geeky" and update friendly community doesn't do them any good.

Korean manufacturer Samsung has kept its mouth shut about Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update. Until now, there is no official word from the company which of its devices would be getting Google’s latest mobile operating system.
However, experts believe that the company is just trying to tease everyone who is intently waiting for the much anticipated update. Eventually, it will come before this year would be over, others say. Analysts also say that Android 4.1 Jelly Bean could become one of Samsung’s weapons to pose a competition with the upcoming Apple iPhone 5.
SamsungGalaxyS3
It is not a matter of whether GS3 will be getting Jelly Bean or not; rather, it is all about when the update would arrive. Being the most popular and best-selling smartphone, the manufacturer couldn’t just afford to leave its patrons in limbo. While there is no official word from Samsung yet, rumors and reports suggest that Galaxy S3 may be receiving an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update via Samsung KIES or over the air in the last quarter.
Sam Mobile reported that the company might release information about Jelly Bean update this month or in September, at least, that’s the good news. On the negative side, other reports suggest Jelly Bean update for GS3 is pushed back to 2013. But then again, none of these reports were confirmed by Samsung.
But what do you think? Will it be this year or in 2013?
SamsungGalaxyS2
Samsung is reportedly testing Jelly Bean for Galaxy S2, however, there is no confirmation whether this handset will be getting the latest OS or not. The test is being conducted to determine whether Android 4.1 will run smoothly on the device without issues.
Galaxy S2 was originally released with Android 2.3 Gingerbread pre-installed and it was only just recently that it received a generous update to Ice Cream Sandwich. The porting of ICS was actually successful and the OS works like a charm on the device.
Considering the fact that Jelly Bean uses the fundamental architecture of ICS, there is a greater possibility that it will also run without issues on Galaxy S2. If the result of the test would be successful, GS2 owners may be able to receive the update in 4th quarter.
SamsungGalaxy Note
Being one of the premium devices from Samsung, Galaxy Note couldn’t just be left hanging with ICS on it. There is no information for now whether it would get the latest OS but if Samsung is testing out a Jelly Bean port for Galaxy S2, there’s a possibility it is also seeking to update this handset.
Originally released with Gingerbread out of the box, Galaxy Note performs perfectly with ICS after updates were rolled out. That should be enough to assume it could run Jelly Bean as well.
XDA Developers, a group of Android hackers who develop custom ROMs, have released a teaser showing Galaxy Note running on custom Jelly Bean OS, although they are still in the process of fine-tuning the firmware to work perfectly on Note’s hardware. The thing is, if third-party developers found a way to make the firmware run on the device, Samsung can too.
SamsungGalaxyNexus
Google started rolling out Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on July 11th with Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ as one of the luckiest devices to receive it first. The update was actually rolled out after the device was made available on Google Play Store following the court ruling to continue the sales of the said devices.
For the benefit of those who haven’t known yet, Samsung is in a nasty battle against Apple over patent infringement and Galaxy Nexus is one of the devices subjected to sales ban in the U.S. The Korean manufacturer, however, was able to convince the court to let the sales of Galaxy Nexus continue. Google did not waste precious time to promote the device with Jelly Bean.
SamsungNexusS
The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update for Samsung Nexus S started rolling out on July 20th as reported by Gotta Be Mobile. During such time, many Nexus S owners also reported to have received notification about the update so Google actually kept its word.
For owners who have not received the update yet, it is advised they will contact their carriers for more information about the roll out. Some carriers have actually pushed back the update and many are still waiting until now. But the thing is the update is coming for Nexus S for sure.
Ina Nutshell
Jelly Bean is an incremental upgrade and it basically uses the architecture of ICS to deliver the features Google promised. That explains why it comes as Android 4.1 and not the rumored 5.0. Samsung is yet to provide information regarding Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update and the abovementioned devices are among the ones that would surely get the latest OS.

its said that all devices will receive updates for 18 months after release.
I highly doubt the S2 will receive it, I think the Note might just squeeze into that time frame.
Either way I dont care If I got JB I wouldnt be using it stock anyway, And im 100,000,000,000,000% sure we will get a stable JB Custom ROM Theres already a few in progress at the moment!
I think they will be releasing the Note 2 with JB (or should I say im hoping they will)

Indeed my Friend. We are all learning and will always continue doing so. It is imperative we list our reference(s) and give credit to the original author(s). Thus, avoiding being deemed as plagiarists.
Anyone believe we get this? any talk anywhere of what this might beam for legacy (GED/Nexus) devices? Im pretty sure it was in some server logs.
I would assume it would be late Nov/possibly not even till January for that to happen.
Considering its an incremental update, we're only just approaching 2 years of age and I doubt there will be any major changes that would preclude the Xoom from handling it, yeah I think we'll get an official update.
I'm excited to see this Nexus 10 though. It will be the proper successor to the Xoom; the successor we deserve.
More than likely will receive, though as noticed in JB and even some parts of ICS, we didn't get all of the features bestowed upon the products bearing the Nexus name. There is ( in my opinion) a defining line between "Nexus" and "Google Experience Device".
Xoom will likely handle all 4.x iterations of Android, but would not expect to reach 5. All depends on hardware requirements and coding to accommodate older and newer.

Face unlock
JB stock wallpapers
New X (Nexus) boot animation
Sound Search widget (Google ears)
Single finger expandable notifications with 4.1.2
These are the top omissions that come to mind on the Xoom, there may be others.

didn't we get sound search widget? was it removed in 4.1.1? I thought I had it at one point (maybe I sideloaded, IDK)
also didn't realize we missed so many features (not gonna include wallpapers/screen boot though)
forgive my lack of knowledge, but do we need an updated kernel for these updates?
The Jellybean wallpapers change with the dpi. At its stock you get the old ics wallpapers, but if you change it to say the dpi to that of the nexus 7, you then have access to the new wallpapers.

None of those things were removed/omitted because the Xoom can't handle it though. I think some were just overlooked and some are just not practical (face unlock - we used to have it and it was stupid on a 10" device).
I have sound search widget on my Xoom (albeit not stock - is this not included in stock?). JB wallpapers and boot animation, well those are easily added and the Nexus animation was probably not added because the Xoom is not a Nexus by name. The only one that is significant (i.e. not easily added by the user) is the single finger expandable notifications and I would definitely like to see that but oh well.
I needs me some Project Butter on my 4G Xoom
Google had submitted the JRO03H 4.1.1 ROM to Verizon for testing (it was leaked here back in early August), but now that 4.1.2 has come out, I'm sure Verizon is testing that ROM now. On Motorola's official update page, it lists the VZW Xoom as getting Jelly Bean Q4 of this year, so it should be any time now...unless they're just going to wait for 4.2, then submit THAT for testing and have it be our official JB update...which means longer waiting. Ugh.
Owning a Verizon Xoom and Galaxy Nexus is very frustrating from an update standpoint. Updates direct from Google, but only after Verizon tests the ROMs and approves it for rollout. If only Verizon's network wasn't so goddamn awesome and the LTE so freakin' fast.

Awesome reliability, but my Nexus switches back and forth between 3G and LTE so often, its not worth keeping the LTE on. As soon as I get two LTE bars, it tries to switch to 3G. Freaking stupid Nexus radios

Yeah, even on Nexus devices, the radio firmware is the one thing that the OEM still handles. Samsung has had one hell of a time trying to get those Galaxy Nexus radios working right.

I've never seen face unlock on the Xoom. Was this in Honeycomb? When I got my Xoom earlier this year I let it update successively to 4.0.4, and never saw face unlock. Why was it stupid on a 10 inch device - it still does its function, correct?

No, no stock ROM for the Xoom has ever had face unlock. Some of the custom ROM developers included it and it works OK, but definitely not as good as it does on the Galaxy Nexus or Nexus 7.

Ah thats correct, face unlock never came to stock. As someone else said, custom roms had it but it was removed. I remember using it on my Xoom and it just wasn't practical with a 10" device.
How come 4.2 will still be JB? 4.0 Was ICS, 4.1 was JB ..

It has happened before. 2.0 and 2.1 were both Eclair.
Personally, I'd prefer it if they saved name changes for X changes where version is X.Y.Z

The rate at which Android evolves, this would be a perfect way to move forward and create less Confusion.

We can as xoom owners look at ourselves and think yeah they will give us 4.2 but I think the xooms death for updates is looming. The nexus.10 is rumored and.that will almost certainly.replace the xoom if real for updates and as a product. We have had ics and jb now and if you look at other devices we have got our fair share of updates. I dont think.we will get 4.2 officially.
