Motorola XOOM users on the Verizon Wireless network: starting tonight, a maintenance release is rolling out to you in phases, so watch for a notification on your device that will tell you when it’s ready for download. The update includes required enhancements to support Adobe® Flash® Player 10.2 (coming soon); it also includes a fix for a bug we identified with Daylight Savings time, so be sure to install it!

No flash, just support for it... http://www.facebook.com/motorola
Update: Flash 10.2 announced release on market MAR18 http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2011/03/update-on-flash-player-10-2-for-mobile-devices.html
And, Flash leaked! http://www.multiupload.com/5FOUMVZI32
Manual OTA instructions via Koush (ROOT REQUIRED): http://www.koushikdutta.com/2011/03/manually-updating-your-rooted-xoom.html
well, maybe this will fix my wierd clock issue today... hmmm
At least this shows how quickly updates will come... I guess.
how will us with wifi only get this?
Any update is good news at this point I think. I wonder if there is any harm in updating, ie will it remove the ability to root and what not? I wish they would provide more details on what exactly the patch does. Also, it clearly says on the Verizon network, what about those not on it and are only on wifi?

MY droid always popped up updates even when I was only on wifi. I imagine we'll all get it or someone will post the update.zip anyway.
I'm curious if the Tegra 2 versions of flash (10.1) floating around will have something to interact with, and start functioning. They have with everything else. As soon as I get the OTA (no 3G), I have a folder full of them in my Dropbox.

Question of the day. No dialer :/
yesssssssssssss
Glad to see an update but there is nothing listed to get excited about except a possible problem with the upcoming daylight savings time switch. Who cares about the flash update since it does not actually include it. But this will be a good test run to see how the updates are sent out and applied.
Cann't wait for the update to start

You can force a check by rebooting. Not the best method, but it works.
Why do unlocked xooms need to get relocked?
I understand why you need to be on stock boot.img but i don't understand why you need to have the device relocked to get the update.
It makes no sense.

According to the system update tab this didn't happen in 3 reboots since the announcement. Still last check at 5:20. Really want to see if any of the 10.1 Tegra versions work after this. I've been frantic to have Flash lately (PlayOn/Netflix).

It might have a minimum time between checkins. Mine said 9:20am, then showed current time for last checkin when I rebooted.
So would it be fair to say that those of us who have rooted should wait until this update is released to see if in fact we really do need to revert back to stock/locked condition? Because I'd really be pissed if we had to lose all of the data on our Xooms just for this update, when very few of us have actually changed anything with the boot.img, etc. I mean back when I first rooted my N1 but before I flashed custom ROMs, I never had to wipe back to stock to receive OTA updates, so why would that be the case here??
Randomly checked and there's an update out!
Yup it enables advanced calling (hd and video) , voLTE, and when you silence or on vibrate phone the boot up droid sound doesn't come up.
Besides VoLTE, has it done anything else?
Fix the data leak?

It also seemed to have fixed the shutter on back camera (front camera still lags a lot) also battery drain standby has been fixed, last of all the boot up sound is muted when phone on standby or vibrate
I personally haven't noticed any difference in the camera shutter.. With or without HDR on.. But I never noticed being slow to start with..
Does the update break Google voice?
Shutter lag was bad for me and this update definitely sped it up.

Maybe I changed, but this is a good thing. I'm all about security these days.
Root means more toys and freedom for people, but they don't realize the s#@tstorm they potentially bring upon themselves.
Any clue what the new update being pushed today contains ?

Can you try to downgrade after you update and see if it'll downgrade? Thanks. Its ok if you're not interested in all that hassle.

Nothing visible has changed, no new apps. No new settings. June 1st security patch which may be different. I'll maybe try to downgrade tomorrow.

I already checked it. Downgrade safe.
I haven't found a tutorial on downgrading to 5.1.1 from 6.0.1. Is there a safe way to do it?

Not sure what you mean by "safe" but typically you just use Odin to flash full stock 5.1.1, do a factory reset in stock recovery afterwards and you're done.

I'm guessing its just a June security patch.
I'm impressed Verizon is actually trying to keep up with the security updates on this device. BUT, i dont think they have a choice because this device is probably more used then the Note5 .
Anyone tried this update while being rooted?

Seems to have fixed some lag, heat , and battery drain issues I was having. Auto brightness is still borked. Still have to turn the brightness down manually in a dark room, and up to max outside.

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews of Google Fi. Which phone are you going to go with? I've thought about replacing my Note 4 DE with the Moto X Pure when they run it on sale again (was $319 a few days ago). But the Droid Z Force also looks nice.
Made my battery worse! A little less lag though....so got that goin for me!!! Lol

Not really the place to discuss it so I'll keep it brief.
My girlfriend has a Nexus 5X. The phone is amazing, updates are quick and common. It operates perfectly on marshmallow with no noticeable issues. We live in bum**** and she still gets service wifi calling and texting is fine, and no contracts. We pay about 42 a month for hers with insurance.
Well one thing I noticed (not sure if it was this update or the last one) is that when you pick an application to use (like browser) it becomes the default. With the old OS it would ask you to use just once or make it the default. Arrgggg I prefer to pick the application as needed and not make it the actual default.

The MM update made this change to default app handling. I liked the old way too. Now if I want to change the default app I have to remember which app was set as default before I can make the change. Sometimes remembering which app was set as default isn't easy to do.
Deleted. Think was in wrong thread.
Been a long time sense I've posted anything in this forum.
I just went back to the Note 4 and did the MM update and have noticed a heavy draw on the battery compared to LP. Am wondering if letting it did cycle through a few time might correct the battery drain. Was on an iPhone for awhile, but for personal reasons came back android. Has anybody tried that yet. Have been temped to hard reset and start fresh to see if it fixes it.
This update has increased the battery draw on mine and it is running HOT! Need help.
ZV9 Should be dropping soon!

Wonder what's in it besides security fixes?
Its about 353.7mb,but for some reason it wont download. Its downloading,just needed a restart
One thing i can tell you is that the upgrading has changed,instead of the green android showing up when its installing,its now a multi colored circle. When phone restarts from install,the final upgrade look has changed as well
Still doesn't fix messages lag since 7.0 that's highly annoying and I don't even use this line that much for it.
Also for awhile I randomly get Amazon photos has crashed, but I don't even have it installed haha

I get that as well and I have it disabled
I don't think I have gottin the Amazon crash with the newest update but I well could have I have just came to except it. :/ Before the newest update it seemed to happen most for me right after plugging in the charger. And also I have all the Amazon crap disabled so it's rather odd.

I definitely think that is the update that's gonna prevent samFail root method and being able to roll back to previous fw. Thank God I'm already rooted and can't take that update. Hopefully someone will figure out a way to pull the Calling Plus feature from this update so we can take advantage of the VoLTE.

To be honest since I switched from HTC to the Note series I haven't missed rooting and flashing much. I use package disable pro to disable apps and now use Disconnect Pro to block ads.
I'm happy to have simultaneous call and data back. Just used it and it worked as advertised! One thing I noticed is the calls did not connect as HD voice calls.

I agree with you, my reception has greatly improved since this update.
Dang I just rooted my phone 2 days ago and I love having root! Can't live without viper audio lol so hopefully we will get root on this firmware soon
Holy rooster poop, this call plus is awesome. I longed for the day when i could take a phone call and use my hotspot at the same time..Heck yes i did!
That time I envy not being on the Sprint version just happened.. waiting on the unlocked update lol anyone have the unlocked version and flashed the Sprint version yet? Data while on call is game changer
Now we just need the built in samsung caller id lol
Almost worth losing root to get this update. VoLTE is something I really want lol

Shortcut Master finds the app for it and allows you to turn it on, but not sure if it works past that.

Well i have found a weird issue, and i don't believe it was there before the update. Microsoft Word will not open(crashes instantly) same for Excel, and MS apps. Then i notice my icons frame option is greyed out and i haven't a clue.
I have the unlocked note 8 with the Sprint firmware flashed to it and I got the update yesterday. I did not notice any bloatware being added after flashing. But I did get wifi calling and now have calling plus after the update.
Root and calling plus working for me have to move a few files around but it works
