It should have been addressed by now (two months later) because it is a hardware feature that other tablets releasing with honeycomb already have. If all of the other tablets were releasing with the same non-functional slot, that would be another story.

We do not know when/if this will ever get fixed because Motorola has not officially stated "when". How would you like it if you bought a desktop computer with non-functional USB ports and the manufacturer said that it will be fixed soon and two months later, still no USB fix? As I mentioned before, it may not be important to you or some others, but for me, this is a big deal as I need the extra storage. I bought this device trusting this feature would be implemented in a reasonable amount of time. I think I have been patient enough up to this point. I do not expect you to understand this as it is obviously not important to you. But you cannot possibly speak for those that need this functionality and paid $800 expecting it would be here by now.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Some people do not want to root or hack their Xoom to get a feature that the manufacturer should have fixed by now.
[Xoom General] p-slim:
So you're even going to root? Yeah Motorola is rushing this update for you because 32gb isn't enough, :rollseyes:
[Xoom General] keitht:
I am not rooting because I do not want any issues with my 4G upgrade not to mention technically, you are voiding your warranty on a $800 device and a chance of bricking. Again, you are thinking of your needs and not others. You may only need 32GB, I need 64GB and that is one of the features I looked for when spending the money on this. I assumed I would get my 64GB within a month. Obviously, my mistake for assuming.

I for one am happy moto is taking their time. Half of the Asus users who did the standard update without root have bricked devices. Be happy moto didn't come out with an update and give you an expensive paperweight
[Xoom General] keitht:
Thanks. That is very helpful. Have you ever called them yourself? lol
[Xoom General] zone23:
No but I am temped to call about the LTE Upgrade taking so long.
[Xoom General] p-slim:
Vzw pushed it back because of their lte network issues. Bionic release got pushed back also, vzw fault not moto.
[Xoom General] zone23:
I'm not blaming anybody all I wish for is the hardware and I think that is on Moto. XDA can't fix hardware that the device doesn't have.
[Xoom General] _RTFM_:
OK. Everyone here gets it, you're frustrated. Allow me to teach you some valuable lessons about buying tech so in the future we can avoid all the whine posts I'm getting tired of reading from you.

1. Be satisfied with the product you purchased. You knew there was no SD card support yet. Updates ALWAYS take 2-3 months longer than you think they should. So if you want a feature and are not willing to employ the DIY method WAIT to buy the product you want. Forum *****ing is just irritating for all us informed buyers who either a) don't care and made that decision at purchase or b) unlocked -> rooted and ****ing fixed it ourselves.

2. Nobody important enough at motorola to get you what you want reads anything you say. Ever.

3. You have no idea what the best soluion is, and just cause you think you do and have a friend that agrees STILL doesn't mean you know what the best solution is. The best solution if for you to get educated and comfortable with rooting/adb and fix it yourself. The second best solution is to sell your zoom and buy the tablet you think you want. The third best solution is to get a better job so if you brick you xoom fixing it yourself, you can buy 10 more and win through trial and error. The absolute worst solution is to assume you know anything about dev work or the interal interworkings of motorola/google.

[Xoom General] keitht:
Thanks for the lesson and I do not care to give you my experienced background in tech. I am not speaking only for myself, I speaking for hundreds or even thousands of others that expect to get what they paid for in a reasonable amount of time. I am not expecting Motorola to cater to me personally. I am expecting them to deliver a feature that was advertised and I paid for. The best solution to fix this is not rooting and flashing a kernel. The solution is for Motorola to deliver a fully functional device with the features advertised. Your post is completely meaningless to me. If you are tired of reading my posts, then skip and move on.
[Xoom General] p-slim:
Please post the advertisement of SD card anywhere from Motorola.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Do I need to take a picture of my non-functional SD slot to prove I have one? Give me a break. It was advertised when it was first released. Search it yourself.
[Xoom General] p-slim:
Actually it wasn't which is why I tested you to find it. The only advertisement has been upgradable to 4G.

[Xoom General] hi_its_ryan:
Let the angry guy be angry imo. He may be idiotic and wrong but he'll never admit to it so why bother pointing it out?
[Xoom General] p-slim:
I said advertisement. As in the website, youtubes, commercials
[Xoom General] keitht:
Does it really matter? I am not looking to sue Motorola. You make it sound like the slot is there for decoration or something.
[Xoom General] _RTFM_:
Well...its very sad if you do have lots of experience in tech because it seems you spent your time not understanding the industry.

Class cont.

4. You only speak for yourself

5. Motorola offered you a product without a feature. You paid for a product without a feature. They said they would fix it...sometime. I'm sorry your imagination fixed a specific timeframe on their claim...but that just shows how nieve you must be to this whole early adopter thing.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Really? How many products are released with external storage capabilities that do not work two months after release? Name some please.
[Xoom General] _RTFM_:
This isn't about that specific problem...its about buying a product with incomplete functionality. Your expectations were unrealistic. Say you bought a Samsung Fascinate when it came out (last october) you'd still be waiting for OTA froyo! Both samsumg and vzw advertised that the phone would get the update sometime in the future on the day it was released. It took weeks for notions ink adam tablet to have functional gps. Many archos tablets are still stuck on 1.6. This type of **** is not new, and not uncommon. Buying tech on a companies word for a brighter future is a rookie mistake.
[Xoom General] ChongoDroid:
I personally like getting features unlocked later. Keeps that new phone/tablet feel for longer... I remember thinking I was the **** cause I had 2.1 and everyone else has 2.0.... Then later when 2.2 comes out and its like oh yeah you know that phone you've had for a while? Yeah it creates wifi and is way faster now...

Sent from my Motorola Olympus
[Xoom General] keitht:
No offense but I know what I am buying and doing and don't need advice on that. The problem with the Xoom is that they released an incomplete device. I knew that when I bought it. What I am saying is that two months after release the microSD card slot is still not functional while we have other tablets releasing that have working slots. Then I see a list of features/fixes mentioned here for the update before it was pulled that did not mention anything about microSD functionality. Nothing! Nada! My comments here have nothing to do with my tech background or yours and honestly, I do not care. My comments are based on a two month old device I purchased for $800 with a slot for external storage with a 32GB card sitting here collecting dust that I need to use because I am out of space. Am I alone on this? I don't think so. I know how to root but I choose not to on my Xoom. That is not the point again. Motorola needs to come clean with when we can expect the microSD card to work. If they say in 30 days, ok, I will try to live with it. 60 days later nothing and if the leaked list of fixes is any indication, it will probably be at least another 30-60 days.

Do not even comment on this if you are not in need of the microSD card functionality or are already rooted with a hacked fix because I do not care to do that with mine. I am not asking for a solution from anyone here in these forums. I am asking Motorola to fix it in the next update or at least tell us when we can expect it. If the XDA developers can do it, other Manufactures can do it, why can't Motorola in the next update? Makes no sense.
[Xoom General] texasez:
+1........................
[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
Then ask Motorola directly why complain on XDA? There is a solution out there if you want it but if you don't end of story.
[Xoom General] p-slim:
I remember when the ppc mogul came out, it didn't have GPS enabled until a year and 3 software upgrades later even though the chip was in there
[Xoom General] keitht:
Because this is a discussion forum and I am discussing. There is no end of story until it is fixed.
[Xoom General] _RTFM_:
So ummm...the lesson continues. Motorola will not and should not give us a timeframe for the microSD update. Why? Risk with no chance of profit that has potential to become a class action lawsuit if our expectations are not met. As far as why we don't have it yet...could be as simple as the guys who know how to do it are too busy working on something else, this issue is obviously pretty low priority and Motorola will/should do what they think is most profitable. It seems the majority of people can deal with 32gb storage and no SD based on sales of the xoom and other tablets with no SD slots with equal or less memory. Personally...I may not like it, you may not like it, but claiming you know what motorola should do it pure silliness. They would be well within their rights to release the SD card update with 3.1 (which I suspect might be the case) or even a year from now if they felt like it.
[Xoom General] keitht:
The slot is there so I guess it will not work until they feel it will be profitable to them? That is silly. They put it in the product and it should simply work. I have many things to sell you if that is your thinking.

I have a sock with a hole it in... $800 to the first bidder.
[Xoom General] _RTFM_:
...wow, its like only half of your ability to reason works. I didnt say they'd fix it when it was profitable. I said they could be working on more profitable ventures so it is low priority. It is equally as likely they have a 3.1 fix already and dont want to commit resources to a fix that will be outdated in a few months. Welcome to business.
[Xoom General] SnakeManJayd:
So, anyone had the update yet? Or any realistic idea of when it will come?

This thread is on page 26 or so, and I couldn't be bothered to go back and sift through the dung slinging to find useful info, so I thought I'd ask here.

Thanks
[Xoom General] zone23:
That is true but you have hijacked a thread for your own use. I believe that there are other threads on this very issue that you could go to and be a lot more at home. This thread was to discus the upcoming update not to go on a rant about something that Motorola needs to address. XDA has already provided a solution for this issue. You just keep dropping by to add fuel to the fire. I think we all agree that it should have been working when the device was purchased. Yes Verizon made it clear that it didn't work when I purchased the device. I think we can also agree that we didn't think it would take this long to address the issues. Especially since the a certain XDA member had it working in a month without the source code. I wish the subject would just be dropped but I guess it will take closing what was a perfectly good thread discussing when the update would drop or if it did drop for anyone. Can't you just stop arguing about the sdcard issue?
[Xoom General] timrock:
no update yet. the information was false. should not have been release by verizon.

[Xoom General] keitht:
I am not arguing nor am I hijacking the thread. It is on topic to what should be included in the update.
[Xoom General] zone23:
I will say this:

Congratulations you have just made it to my ignore list!
[Xoom General] keitht:
I am honered.
[Xoom General] Psychokitty:
Hey, can I be on that list, too? I don't wanna have to go through explaining what logic and reason is every time I give my opinion here.

And you other high & mighty rooted Android device owning developer wish-you-could-bes, y'all need to come down to Earth and get over yourselves. Become aware of the fact that you stand in the very small minority of Xoom owners, and as such, rooting to gain something like an SD card support work-around is simply not an option to the overwhelmingly vast majority of Xoom owners.

In short, have some consideration for those people who don't know how to do this stuff. It's not hard, really. I do, and my Xoom is hacked same as yours, as was my V3m, K1M, Canon TX1...

The difference is that I haven't let myself become short sighted about it that I can't sympathize with those who don't have that experience.

Some of you are doing an injustice to the hardworking developers here at this forum by showing such little empathy.
[Xoom General] zone23:
Consider it done.
[Xoom General] _RTFM_:
This post is nonsensical.

This guy bought something knowing it was missing a feature he needed and would have to wait for. A feature that he can add himself in an evening with very little risk. That is refusing the solution provided. That arbitraraly imagined a date he felt he should have said feature by and complains constantly...we said he should grow up and be patient or fix it himself. How is that an injustice to devs? Please explain how the devs have been wronged, slighted, or embarased...we'd help the guy figure it out if he wanted to help himself or messed up. At this point I feel we are way beyond empathy on this paticular subject.

Le sigh people.
[Xoom General] kyoteqwik:
This is a developers forum where the goal is to develop the device here with or without the help of manufacturer . Those not interested in root would probably be better served in a different forum.

[Xoom General] vamp6x6x6x:
hmm...lets just agree to disagree about that :)
[Xoom General] Smokexz:
This thread should be locked, not because of every one complaining, but the contradicting people who complain about the people who complain. FYI you're actually more annoyimg than the guys who actually complain about the topic, now going back to the topic, we need an update like this, when I use my Xoom in front of my iPad 2 using friend, I can barely get anything done, and he doesn't need unstable flash to do it. I didn't buy the Xoom for what it was right at the moment, I knew it was unstable, buggy, slow at a lot of times, and it was Motorola so updates would be very rare, at least accurate ones. I wanted the Xoom for what it would be in the future, a stock stable Honeycomb tablet that would replace my laptop in most aspects. It has done that slightly, but not to its full potential, so that's why I "complain" about updates, because the PlayBook is much more stable than the Xoom, in almost every way possible, and it hasn't had a single update since its official launch.

[Xoom General] timrock:

[Xoom General] mr_delphi:
multiple users have reported this new update today on a chinese forum

one thing to be noted is that xoom was just launched on May 1st in China, and the chinese wifi version has a different model number. I think it is MZ606.

I tried some chinese apps extracted from it on my MZ604 xoom. Most apps launch ok but I can't access internet from those apps (for example, a book reader app launches fine, but I can't download new books; a social network client launches but I can't log in). I believe motorola made some changes to the Internet module...maybe there is something to do with censorship.
[Xoom General] tumbes20000:
Android 3.1 in China is probably some kind of forced "upgrade" to make sure that the xoom can't operate outside the Great Firewall of China.
[Xoom General] Kalavere:
Communism ftw, eh? :rolleyes:
[Xoom General] boranz:
@3devious, sorry about the language, not a native speaker.:D

@timrock, no.

@mr_delphi, I also own a 604 and installed apps extracted from 606, most of them work perfectly except for a navigation app and Moto's Chinese input apps. China's censorship is very unlikely to have anything to do with this. Are you not in China? If so it could be your IP that was causing problem. So far as I know Sina's microblog service isn't very friendly to foreign IPs. Anyway we'll soon find out after updating to 3.1.
[Xoom General] SlCKB0Y:
Yes, you are most certainly hijacking this thread. I am sick of reading your whining and you add absolutely nothing constructive. You sound like a small child stamping it's feet because it hasn't gotten it's way.

There is no way that every bit of the 32GB's of data you have on your Xoom has to be there at any given time. ADAPT. Delete stuff you aren't using at the moment. You can't consume 32gbs of data at any given time.

Now i nearly never post here, I'm a lurker, but you're annoying enough that I feel the need to call you up on this. Please stop repeating the same stuff, over and over cluttering up this thread.

FIX the problem yourself or get an iPad or something dude.

Something completely unexpected to me and probably many.

I think everything from OTA updates and whatever google is cooking up for its first update to Honeycomb will reflect what any competitor is doing closer than before.
