Lucky xoomers...get to play around with 3.1 while we're still stuck with 3.0. Grrrrrrrr.....
[Xoom General] burden010:
SD card support.
[Xoom General] csseale:
Yea we paid a premium price..thus we should get a little better treatment.
[Xoom General] nubsors:
SD Card Support, Overclocking. Also didn't Tiamat get rid of some things? Personally I couldn't stand the Tiamat Kernel. I kept getting random reboots.
[Xoom General] dubie76:
premium price? Overpaid is more like it. My wifi version can do everything your 3g model can.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
Except be on 3G without tethering and soon to be LTE.

Oh, and get updates first :)
[Xoom General] burden010:
You paid for the 3/4G feature, not for premium support.
[Xoom General] dubie76:
In case you didnt know, your LTE update is going to cost you for Moto to put that upgrade in. Sorry to burst your bubble. SO now you pay even more.
[Xoom General] Xevilious:
Edit: wrong thread
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
The fact that it's Verizon's flagship android tablet means we have more than one company pushing for updates. I'm certain the wifi xoom will be updated in a few weeks as well.
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
It will have bluetooth mouse.
[Xoom General] dubie76:
I hope so. The Wifi users dont have anyone pushing for them, so we get left behind. I wouldnt be surprised if we never get the update. Every time there is talk about an update, the 3g model is mentioned. Nothing about wifi.
[Xoom General] csseale:
Ummmmm no.
[Xoom General] just19more:
Has anyone got the update yet? Or are we all still waiting.....I hope not.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Please stop spreading false information, the LTE upgrade cost is already built into the device cost. Check Verizon's website.
[Xoom General] csseale:
No I paid for premium support through a carrier that will try to make customers happy. Where as the wifi has no backing eccept motorala who has your money. Verizon wants to keep us on the extra data plan and thus push for certain things to make certain we don't leave. Moto could care less...sorry but I absolutely paid for premium support.
[Xoom General] sfld:
I shall vaporize some grand daddy purp take a shower and hopefully my xoom has a update msg lol happy fighting xoomers
[Xoom General] jediman:
Current TIAMAT kern works great actually.
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
Maybe you haven't heard that Verizon is not supporting the device. All exchanges go through Motorola.
[Xoom General] umbra6:
Hmmm...why are fellow Xoom owners, whether Wifi or 3G, bickering with each other about "support"? We actually all should be unified here as we all pretty much have the same device.

I for one didn't buy the device for future implementation of things. I got it for what it is. A tablet to use now. I knew what the device was capable and not capable of when I bought it. All the things that are coming out for the Xoom in the near future are just bonuses. I've been in this mobile game way too long to get antsy for updates. When it shows up for download it shows up. In the meantime, I will use the device as it is right now.
[Xoom General] jsnryn:
Change the date to tomorrow, it will re-check, then change it back...
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Ridiculous statement. Think about everything that has to happen at Verizon when an update comes out... customer service training, documentation updates, website changes.. you don't just let the manufacturer update a device by themselves.
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
Everyone can thank the early adopters of the Xoom for this update. Also, the fact that it is 3.1 not 3.02 is significant.
[Xoom General] csseale:
.....some people have no clue about logistics....back on topic...

I am super pumped about this update. Hoping for some much needed stability for sure.
[Xoom General] rjoudrey:
I was referring to hardware support, the statement is true, try to get an replacement from Verizon.
[Xoom General] bjarnia:
Stability? My Xoom is rock stable and I've had it overclocked to 1.5 ghz since day one.
[Xoom General] trhonda2000:
I'm so excited I just ordered a wifi Xoom from Sprint and now to hear the few concerns I had are going to be fixed soon is AWESOME! This purchase seems meant to be. #androidnation
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Which is the same as the ipad or galaxy tab.
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
you're welcome!

now gimme updatesssss :p
[Xoom General] SuperFly03:
rentals != netflix. I enjoy streaming things like South Park and Family guy when I'm out of town.

It's one step away from netflix... so I'm sure we'll get there.

Side note: http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.1-highlights.html

Patch notes are live.
[Xoom General] jerses:
they should have demoed a playstation controller... i mean they have like 4 playstation phones and more on the way. An xbox360 has its windows phone 7... but its great to see it work. I wonder if theres going to be a plugin or driver manager for all those controllers
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
They list PS3 support on the android developers website. Linux already has kernel support for these devices, there would be no need for a manager. They will show up as input devices to choose from just like keyboards.
[Xoom General] s.t.s:
Hmm ... getting confused as to when all this when this update will hit. And to only announce it for Verizon customers? What about the Wi-fi or international users.

Up until fairly recently I always felt fairly priveleged and on a par with the US here in the UK, but the Amazon Android App Store being US only, and then Google Books (which was a total surprise that I hadn't realised from all the reviews) and now Google Music also not being available outside of the US it is really starting to hurt. I know there are licensing issues etc but if Apple can do it then surely Google can too?

Not saying I would swap my wife's iPad 2 for my XOOM just wondering why people don't see the merit in at least emulating some of the cohesive elements from Apple regarding announcements and prompt updates/features etc.

Finally ... has anyone actually got an update anywhere ... there was a post earlier where "a friend" had it but no direct experience from a user yet?
[Xoom General] ClydeB1:
The "friend" was mistaken - only got 3.0.1 ;)
[Xoom General] Just-in-time:
Hate to break it to you but i dont see the PS3 controllers coming anytime soon. Unless they can get it with usb hosting the BT part seems to be locked down. They dont use a norm passkey like wii controllers do or even BT KB/Mice use. Last time i looked in to doing this with both my netbook and my android device it couldnt be done. But that was some time ago.
[Xoom General] troy22:
so can i download this update now? can i update from tiamat rom 1.4.1? how can i update from the rom? im such a noob :(
[Xoom General] sfld:
No one knows yet troy
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Apple doesn't have a cloud music storage product yet, and google doesn't sell music. They are only demoing the cloud storage in the US because they don't even have an agreement from the RIAA and labels for it yet.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
USB Host and able to connect an Xbox controller may make me buy an xbox controller, rather than thinking about getting a wireless wii classic controller...

was hoping for some SD Card support though still.... and for it to be available for Xoom WiFi would also be nice!
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
USB PS3 controllers are supported. No Bluetooth.
[Xoom General] ClydeB1:
AFAIK you would need to unroot and go back to stock to get the OTA update. Once the updates start one of the clever people here will make an update that can be applied to a rooted device.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Just guessing, having looked at update scripts before.. but I think being on a rooted kernel is fine as it will just be overwritten. However if you have modified or deleted anything in /system the update verification will fail and the update will not continue.
[Xoom General] sangreal06:
Change the date

Or if you have phone enabled dial *#*#2432546#*#*
[Xoom General] xguntherc:
hopefully this leaks soon or OTA's so someone can root it and make it flashable for us all.

I'm excited for 3.1 and the scrollable multi-tasking panels and everything else they have included, things are getting really exciting.
[Xoom General] s.t.s:
Fair point ... but if they don't have an agreement with the RIAA (the most litigious of those types of organisation) then perhaps they should have tried the UK or even further shores :p
[Xoom General] ClydeB1:
For those wanting to still be able to root their xoom after the update BRD is suggesting not to take the OTA update but to rather wait for a release from him.
[Xoom General] crackmulah:
will rooted xooms recieve this?
[Xoom General] ClydeB1:
Not via OTA, you'll have to wait until BRD or one of the devs tweaks it to work with a rooted device, or else unroot again.
[Xoom General] vamp6x6x6x:
Would be nice if we wifi only owners knew when to expect the update.
[Xoom General] _RTFM_:
It is always a good idea to wait for the dev update if you are not purely stock.
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
yup, learned that well on my N1 - waited a few extra days for 2.3.4 and good to go :p
[Xoom General] xxspark89xx:
I got the update!!! Downloading now on Verizon Xoom. Set to 3G and changed the date!
[Xoom General] tysonstephen:
Probably been asked already, but if you have a verizon version of the xoom, but no data with verizon (Esentially only used like a wifi version) will it still get the update before the rest of the the wifi only xooms? or does the verizon version need to be activated with verizon first?....

Also has anyone actually updated their verizon version yet?....

No update as of 1:40pm PST.
[Xoom General] umbra6:
Oh boy...lol
[Xoom General] _RTFM_:
You WILL be posting first impressions asap...
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
hahaha.... oh boy indeed.

I'm in the same boat, guessing we'll have to wait as they'll probably push it out over 3G. Hoping not but guessing it will be......
[Xoom General] foldog22:
I tried the same and didn't work.
[Xoom General] burden010:
Please provide a pic of the About Tablet screen... exciting stuff!
[Xoom General] ericdabbs:
That is another thing that pissed me off about this 3.1 update. They didn't even address the SD card issue to make it official. I would love for google to officially add SD card support on honeycomb.

They sorta addressed the USB host option in that you can insert different peripherals and the google will now recognize this.
[Xoom General] SnakeManJayd:
This thread is getting really exciting.

I read through the whole thing, useless flaming part in the middle and all...

My excitement might be misplaced as I have a WIFI Xoom and am in South Africa, but hey... I can still get excited that it exists at all. ha ha

Let us know when you guys have tried out the new features that they claim are now working and if anyone makes a youtube clip (PLEASE!!!), remember to post a link here.

Thanks
[Xoom General] DroidHam:
lol @ BRD's name now brd|patching

lets hope this can be ported to the wifi and not make us wait for the wifi release
[Xoom General] JayWheelz:
Yup I am also in that same boat. I got mines at a local shop brand new for cheap and never got a plan. I was wondering if I was in the same Wifi only boat :)
[Xoom General] SnakeManJayd:
Ya, I also noticed the missing SD support, but I suppose USB is the next best thing. portable transferable storage is what I really need, so plugging in a flash drive(assuming that this will work) will substitute for removing SD for a while still.
[Xoom General] xxspark89xx:
Here is a snapshot of the About page:

I'm going to test this out and see what's new, will keep updating on here.
[Xoom General] Philio25:
I wonder how long we have to wait to get this in the UK!
[Xoom General] timrock:
sd working?
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
I got an email from Motorola saying that I was selected for the Motorola Feedback Network, when I forced a check, it started downloading the update.

Updated, rebooting now.
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
yeah one thing that kinda bugged me is when I bought the XOOM I was under the impression I'd have a USB port. Not a micro-USB meaning I'd have to buy a HOST cable as an extra and "hope" it works .... when descriptions for tablets say "USB port and SD card slot" they should specify "Micro USB port and Micro SD slot"

2 different things really...
[Xoom General] slack04:
SD is xoom specific, not related to the 3.1 update... please stop asking.

sent from my face
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
I can confirm that the sd card is not in fact recognized. I have a 32GB in the slot, but it's not showing in Storage.

However, there are a lot more information categories in Storage now.
[Xoom General] xxspark89xx:
So far, no SD card support. :(
[Xoom General] tysonstephen:
ZanshinG1....over wifi or 3G?
[Xoom General] MWFD:
I could not agree with you more. I felt and feel the same exact way.
[Xoom General] ukc101:
Well how long extra did we have to wait to get the xoom?

I'm counting down from 7 days but we can be optimistic!!!!!
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
I downloaded it over wifi, but I'm on a Verizon 3g Xoom.
[Xoom General] timrock:
thanks for answering.

[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Awww... Bollocks!

There's no way to set UAString permanently that I can find. :/
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Anyone on WiFi only Xoom getting it? Mines sitting on my desk at home can't get to it till later....
[Xoom General] umbra6:
If you do the about:debug and change it in there does it stick when you reboot now?
[Xoom General] arrtoodeetoo:
Please tell me you grabbed the update.zip!

I need this update. I froze work on my theme so I could get the update first, and would like to start working on it again as soon as possible.
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
you tried booting up the XOOM with the sd already in the slot? I noticed on the Tiamat kernel that you can't just slip the micro sd in ... gotta have it in before booting up the XOOM
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
Nope. Nor does it stick when you force close the browser.
[Xoom General] mac35:
Those with 3.1:

How is speed/stability compared with 3.01?
[Xoom General] umbra6:
That sucks. Thanks for checking though!
[Xoom General] s.t.s:
Getting excited again... watching the keynote now and getting all energized... last year I nearly quit my day job and bought a html 5 book and became a google groupie web developer!!

Glad there are a few people actually winding up with the update "in real life" :)

ohhh yeahhh I hope they made switching from Landscape to Portrait and over again snappier ... very slow when you have widgets.
[Xoom General] MWFD:
Have we determined if we can (and how to) truly force a system update check? Does the manually changing date/time theory work?
[Xoom General] 3devious:
When I plug in a USB stick it lights up for a bit, I think Android is trying to find an app that can use it.
[Xoom General] hausman:
That's the point. According to Google, we don't. Verizon 3G customers (some of whom are claiming that they "paid" for something more than the same device with all the benefits of a 3G radio) have a different device. One that gets updates rolled out beginning the day they are announced.

Anyway, this is kind of backwards to me...coming from a world where VZW traditionally cripples hardware, to be getting the update first.

At first I was unhappy about this, but the more I read, it seems 3.1 adds no features I actually care about (except maybe browser zoom speed) and doesn't address any of the most basic software functionality issues that I feel are lacking on the Xoom. Unless the official changelog is only a very high-level view and doesn't cover everything that has actually changed.

I read a quote somewhere (I don't have a primary source so I'm not quoting it) that other devices aside from VZW will get this over the coming weeks. If that's the case, then it's no big deal; I can understand staggering deployment for a host of reasons. But I first thought it would be VZW Xooms over the next few weeks with no timeline for anyone else, which would be more frustrating.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] axw820:
My Phone won't turn on, even to load into magldr when charged. The phone sometimes vibrates when I plug it in, like it's trying to turn on, but doesn't have enough battery to load into magldr to charge...

The phone worked fine before (except semi-regular restarts, probably due to the memory card), so do you think the battery is the issue? If so should I just buy a new one and hope that it has enough charge to load magldr, then charge, or is there a way to charge the battery whilst it's not in the handset?

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hector93:
Try making sure that the pins are both aligned to the battery.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] axw820:
thanks, you just saved me a tenner :)

can't believe i didn't think to check that...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hector93:
No Problem :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
Incidently, i know you got it fixed which is great but for the record and anyone else searching for this.

If your battery is nackard and you cant get to WP7 and MAGLDR isnt able to load to start charging that way you can try to warm up the battery a bit, dont use a direct heat source, but just warm it slightly, dont over do it, or it might blow up, you'll help the chemical reactions inside which "might" be enough to get you in to magldr or even WP7 its self

anyhow, glad you fixed it!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Hamburg:
If my battery dies completely, sometimes it wont turn back on and wont charge. But I found that if you pull the battery, plug the charger into the phone, and then put the battery back in while its plugged into the charger, it seems to fix the issue. It turns the device on and begins charging once again.

Can anyone get greader or greader pro to work for cm 7.02? It will not show articles and hangs on the loading after I open a feed. I have pro but installed regular to test if it was a problem with pro. Also I've cleared the cache/uninstalled etc. If you're not on cm 7.02 and it works please tell me what version. Thanks.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] drx69:
i have the pro version... running build 68 of cm7 (today's build) and have no issues. I have a ton of groups in google reader too.

May want to try a clean install... I have had to do that a few times... also try doing a fix permissions from rom manager.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] chadamir:
Clean install of what? Greader or cm? I don't want to lose my home screen layout. Updated to newest daily cleared dalvik and reinstalled greader pro just keeps fcing and not loading. Also ran fix perm.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] runhopskipjump:
You aren't alone on this one. I am having the same issues. I recommend sending a copy of your logcat and a brief description of what you are experiencing to the developer and posting a copy on the forum. I am unsure if it is the application or cm7 which is causing the FCs. I use a free application called alogcat to get the logcat. I am hoping this gets resolved because I use this application everyday. For now I just use my HTC Thunderbolt for my rss fix. I started experiencing this issues since nightly 65 I believe.

Cm7.1.0 beta2 (clean wipe)

I am happy to say the lastest cm7 2.6.32 beta 3.1 works with greader. I used it this morning without any FCs or issues. The clearing of the cache bug is the application's problem not cm7. But for now it is usable. Thanks Dalingerin, Fattire and the rest of the crew.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] runhopskipjump:
Both free and pro. I am on cm7.32 beta 3.1 with the overclock kernel 5/13/11. Try clearing the cache within greader because it has a problem with doing it automatically. Also make sure you are running the latest version of greader. Did you every save a logcat after the application crashed? I am not an expert by I would like to see if you are experiencing the same issues I had. Also contact the dev.

Hello, today i noticed that my phone was pretty warm so and my battery was going down pretty fast. I used a system info app and found out that this app was maxing out my cpu. The app is excellent so i just wanted to know if maybe it was just having a bad day or if anybody else noticed it as well.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] WiredPirate:
I had an app like that called ArcLauncher I think (Amazon free app sometime last week). I used it for a couple hours and noticed it was also using a good amount of cpu. I uninstalled it.
