I just got on PC to check it out. Pic doesn't work because it seems it's in a private Dropbox folder.

Anyway, can anyone put up a screenshot of the details please? Want to compare to the 'soak test' ROM. (Although, it is IML77 too..)
[Xoom General] F14Scott:
Sorry. Pic is now in PhotoBucket.com. These pictures are kicking my ass; I can't get them to size down.
[Xoom General] sgastel:
received my update

Yep just received my update also... Was stock no root.. Just living the dream.
[Xoom General] TheStickMan:
FYI the 'soak test' is exactly the same. Seems there were no problems with it.

A bit disappointing considering the missing functionality, but congrats on your official ICS. :-)
[Xoom General] willverduzco:
Hmmm... What is this? http://www.xda-developers.com/android/xoom-receives-official-iml77-ice-cream-sandwich-update/ ;)

Awesome news, guys!
[Xoom General] Wiggz:
<Sitting here with his UK purchased 3.2.1 Xoom - hoping!>

We'll see what happens eh.
[Xoom General] Zacky32:
I'm from Singapore and I haven't receive the update yet :(
[Xoom General] willverduzco:
I believe that the update will only be pushed out to GED (Google Experience Device) Xooms, thus precluding UK Xooms to the update. You could try using the Motorola GED fastboot images to "restore" the GED firmware, and then waiting for the OTA. At that point, though, I'd wonder why you wouldn't simply just want to install one of the custom ROMs I mention in my XDA portal or BriefMobile posts.
[Xoom General] Wiggz:
Indeed. I'm starting to find the approach to OTA updates by Google a bit hap-hazard quite frankly. It's the same with my Galaxy Nexus. Some people I know who have purchased the phone recently have 4.0.2 on their GSM phone. I can't even get the OTA for it!

I've never stayed stock on any devices but as these devices get crisper I've tended to look at staying stock.

The only reason for me not to currently is the piss-poor way in which OTAs are managed. This Xoom update might just be another example.
[Xoom General] willverduzco:
Don't even get me started on that issue...
[Xoom General] redmaner:
Xoom eu version no update yet

What if i flash us rom?

[Xoom General] cdesai:
Why do i see Kernel Version 2.6.39.4 ?

^Should have been 3.x :p
[Xoom General] willverduzco:
This is Nvidia's fault, as far as I can remember. That said, it still works perfectly, and should not cause any issues for now. :p
[Xoom General] maverick340:
MZ601 : Still waiting :(
[Xoom General] speedsys:
Bought the xoom just as it came out in the US..now in India for the holidays and haven't got the OTA update yet....upgraded to 3.2.1 here in India...so will I be getting the update anytime now or when it comes out internationally?
[Xoom General] TheStickMan:
It comes out according to your ROM location (which is US?), not your actual physical location.
[Xoom General] vodnok:
So how it is ? Do you see a boost on reactivity and browser experience ? I'm on Transformer 1 so i have to wait 2 weeks... But want to know how Tegra 2 is dealing with ICS
[Xoom General] TheStickMan:
Everything is so much smoother. The interfce doesn't have awkward pauses. Browswer is faster and doesn't lock up as much, or crash.

I also remember hearing that ICS properly uses dual-core, unlike HC where it would use 2nd core only under stress.

Overall, pretty noticeable improvement.
[Xoom General] Kr0nos:
So no European Wifi Xoom got the update ....

Diasappointing but expected.

But they get the update across the atlantic in less than 4 months this time ... i would like to hold on to my warrenty

Are there any hardware differences between the US wifi and the EU Wifi model?
[Xoom General] Wiggz:
I have a feeling the first thing I did was flash a stock US ROM. I'm waiting for it now then. What build should my Xoom be on 3.2.1 then (if a US ROM)
[Xoom General] jiwengang:
Can you confirm that there is no face unlocking in official ota. ? Thanks
[Xoom General] Ahmad Alsaeed:
Xoom 3G from uk

Still 3.2 :mad:
[Xoom General] TheStickMan:
No face unlock in leaked, which has exactly the same build, version, kernel.
[Xoom General] Chubby_Skunk:
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!! Just got mine (WiFi US XOOM 32GB)

AMAZING DAY!

1) Snowing in Seattle = no school

2) ICS update for XOOM!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D
[Xoom General] genericmessage:
Here I got all excited and checked my xoom.

"no new updates available"

.............my xoom is a liar

How is it available to some and not to others? And is this OTA

only

push? Or are people pulling this off the servers as well?
[Xoom General] senaca:
no update here either. patience is a b*tch!
[Xoom General] tryeland:
I've been checking for updates every 10 minutes all day since I heard this news. Nothing yet.
[Xoom General] bloke:
Its for USA wifi xoom.

I've.got mine in the UK, got the update this morning, works smoothly. Definite snappier.

Apart from that...
[Xoom General] bloke:
I can't find face-unlock, its not in the security settings :-(
[Xoom General] willysp:
I updated from 3.2 to ICS a few days ago using the "early" update. I'm confident that I now have the same config as people who applied the OTA have.

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

It's not in the stock Moto ICS. Have to use a custom ROM if you want it.
[Xoom General] yetronii:
F

I compared it to my transformer prime and in terms of smoothness there is a slight lag in the xoom when switching home screens but honestly I rather deal with ICS on the xoom than the transformer prime with all its glitches.Overall the cursor moves much smoothly, the realtime voice dictation is not true real time.I notoce turning off animation really makes it even smoother.No typing lag...woohoo
[Xoom General] paulh306:
Still waiting too. :(
[Xoom General] jonx15:
Got the update as well.....

Overall a bit snappier...Browser is improved...especially when typing...

Only problem I have noticed is that Netflix lags badly...it still works but scrolling is very bad..
[Xoom General] willverduzco:
Try forcing 2d GPU acceleration in settings -> developer options. That did the trick for me.
[Xoom General] te0o:
I'm so jealous of you guys in the USA. Has Moto said something about how long it will take this time for the update to cross the Atlantic?
[Xoom General] Akik:
I'm on a french Xoom WIFI with US ROM 3.2.1. Got all my updates via OTA but I can't get this one actually... Is it very long?
[Xoom General] nthknd:
You guys are so lucky to be the first ones.... sitting here jealous
[Xoom General] Akik:
Do I need to relock my Xoom? I think it's unlocked but with official 3.2.1 US via OTA for sure.
[Xoom General] Tech_Zealot:
I suppose non-U.S. wifi-only xoom wont see an ICS til next month some time? :mad:
[Xoom General] nMIK-3:
Can anyone please post a list or even better a picture of the System Languages available for the XooM after the ICS update? Also the default Android Keyboard input Languages if possible too.

Thanks in advance.

MOTO xoom support says

So in the frustrating wait to get my update and reading on how to install it myself. I contacted Motorola and spoke to Judd (mind you he did not sound like a Judd)... and he states that only 100,000 people will be getting this update and does not include the Xoom Family edition or Verizon Xoom. He also states that the update is still in the Testing phase for the next 2-3 weeks and at that time OTA will begin around that time to all users. So looks like those that don't get it will have to do it themselves or wait.
[Xoom General] got_milk:
I don't think "Judd" knows what he's talking about:

https://twitter.com/#!/Motorola/status/159713779599421440

It's definitely not a test. That's what the soak was for.
[Xoom General] jonx15:
Thanks man......That did it for me...!!
[Xoom General] PeteCat:
also got the OTA update today (IML77), stock US wi-fi only. been using ICS on my Galaxy Nexus for a few weeks now, cant wait to try it on the Xoom!

looks like holding off on rooting (aka, my laziness) may have paid off this time.
[Xoom General] namelez:
ok tired of waiting

Ok i have tried to update this myself as i have not received this update yet can anyone point me into the right direction
[Xoom General] JuggernautGray:
Still Waiting on my Ice Cream Sandwich

I been waiting all day and pushed my update button about a hundred time. Does anyone know how this update being push out.
[Xoom General] TheStickMan:
Update is being pushed out to Xoom's running US-wifi ROM, via OTA. Here is a motorola release PDF:

http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles...aticFiles/RN_MZ604_ICS4.0.GED.WiFi.1-6-12.pdf

Here is the exact same ROM (update, not ROM sorry), rooted:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21548948

Otherwise, search for TeamEOS build for a custom ROM with overclocking, or CM9. There are a couple more custom ICS builds too.
[Xoom General] JuggernautGray:
Any word...

Thank you for that, I have the 4G version but only use it with WIFI, anyword on the update for that. Dont tell me I will have to wait on Verizion........ :(
[Xoom General] TheStickMan:
Pretty much. Unless you flash a stock US wifi ROM, and upgrade with that.
[Xoom General] protour73:
WOW ..... I've had my US Xoom WiFi (MZ604) for only 3 weeks, looked at it during lunch today ..... BINGO .... an Ice Cream Sammich for desert

Everything works so far, haven't lost anything. Although, I don't have this tweaked at all waiting for the ICS push, so I don't have tons of apps and things added yet.

-Luv the new stock font,

-Additional new settings: grouped Wireless & Networks/ Device/ Personal/ System

-The Equalizer is GREAT, even with the tiny stock speakers

-Stock Calender Widget is improved, which I have been using since day one

-Widget selector is MUCH improved

-The lockscreen now gives you the option to go directly to the camera

everything seems smoother not as laggy, definitely seems worth the wait
[Xoom General] navossoc:
Well, I have purchased a MZ604 in Brazil.

I unlocked the fastboot and flash the rom of the USA's official MZ604 (Build HWI69 for U.S. Retail)

However I have not received any notification about the update, also tried to check manually, but no results.

Is it because I'm using the CWM recovery and I am as root?

Or maybe it will be because my device is not really a U.S. GED?

Although I managed to get to the update of 3.2.1 (HTK75D) with the same rom, before becoming root and change the recovery.

If it were the root, it should at least see the notification, but should not install? as other people say?

Any ideas? ^ ^
[Xoom General] TheStickMan:
Rooting disables OTA.
[Xoom General] navossoc:
Thanks for the info, so, now, what can I do?

My plan is: unroot (if that is possible), update, root again.

Any directions?

[]'s
[Xoom General] TheStickMan:
Flash the USA official 3.x ROM (from moto dev website). Then either hope for an OTA for ICS, or install this or other ROMs.

Bootloader unlocked =/= rooted
[Xoom General] navossoc:
I know, I unlocked the fastboot and rooted it (I got su bin, superuser, etc)

Damn, but I will lose everything, maybe it's better I wait for a "update.zip" for this OTA, right?

There is no way to unroot without reflashing and lose all data?

(remember it's a stock rom, just rooted with "universal root")

[]'s
[Xoom General] TheStickMan:
Actually, my bad. This thread can help you. It's what I'm running, and it's the soak test update.zip - which is exactly the same as official OTA update.

Note the first few paragraphs - this is for MZ604. Load onto your device at your own risk.

It does work. Just Clear and FC it and it took me the 4th try. It does work.

AWESOME!!
[Xoom General] TheStickMan:
Will never work if rooted.. Because your ROM then automatically fails the eligibility test. Ergo, no OTA..
[Xoom General] ghodzilla5150:
I woke up this morning (Southern California) & there was an update waiting. I was on Stock, and NO Root or Anything. ICS is really smooth and LAG Free. It's Fast going from page to page. When you grab & move an App (icon) , and there is No Choppiness in the Movement.

The one thing that still SUCKS is we can't Access the SD Card and Delete Files, and Movies etc.. Etc. No Face Recognition. I was really looking forward to Accessing the SD CARD Internally WITHOUT Root or using the PC but I guess Google does NOT care about us using OUR GED Xoom's to their best ability. I highly doubt we'll ever get to use our SD CARD like Non-GED Xoom's. Boooooooooooooooooo.

Other than that, ICS is really good. Smooth, Fast and LAG Free. Had to uninstall and reinstall Netflix.
[Xoom General] genericmessage:
The update is awesome. So smooth. The keyboard is awesome, the camera is stupid fast now. The widget adding process is a bit annoying, and no face unlock? Lame
[Xoom General] jonx15:
Is there now built in screen capture..?
[Xoom General] vamp6x6x6x:
Ty for making me aware of this because as soon as I read this I checked for update on my Xoom and got so happy because there was one, and now I have ICS.

A little bummed out about the no face unlock thing though.

_____________________________________________________________________

This Software Update includes new enhancements.........

There is a Retry download button that I must of hit over a 100 times already today and nothing seems to happen. I've also rebooted the Xoom a few times.

Why did it fail to update?

Is there any way for me to get this update to work?
[Xoom General] tehNickSays:
Is anyone else having issues waking up their Xoom? It seems like when my Xoom goes to sleep, more often than not, I have to reboot it (volume up + power) just to get the screen to come back on. I'm bone stock on the OTA update.

It is certainly more polished. Speed is improved. It's not the "OMG it's like a new tablet improved". I wonder if the EOS rom is different in that regard?

I'm so jealous of you! :D I'm gonna have to wait months to get the update for the 3g version in my sparrow-fart country. :D I heard ICS has issues with the tablet going to sleep. Can someone give a more detailed description of the known issues with the new OS so far?

Yey just changed my UK Xoom to US GED and got the update straight away, so far so good, no complaints yet :-)
[Xoom General] matthewsammut:
Just did the same thing tonight.... really loving it... so much smoother than before.

Thing that sucks the most is that you can't delete files off the SD card as you could with the UK software.

And battery seems to be goin down much faster too! Anyone else?

Oh and has anyone got Google currents running on ics? Mine won't seem to install using the apk
[Xoom General] Accophox:

[Xoom General] crisisinthecity:
You are on the non rooted stock Honeycomb right?

Try this:

Go to Settings-Applications--Manage Applications

Click All tab.

Scroll down to the Googe Services Framework. Tap it and clear data. Then go to Settings-About and hit System Update/check for update.

I know this is a **** option, but if it happens to me (hasn't yet), I am going to do it.

Now that you are on ICS, try a factory data reset. Maybe that will do it? I know that it has helped me with issues in the past after flashing custom ROMS.
[Xoom General] ionSeven:
Agree completely about the battery but suppose that may get sorted sometime, and the deleting off the SD thing, I'm sure I read somewhere that there's a way around it, but still...yeah I'm well chuffed and pleased I did it.
[Xoom General] DroidVPN:
Does anyone know when will they release ICS for 3G version?
[Xoom General] latteladyla:
ICS Update, smooth so far

Got the OTA this am for ICS. Update was smooth & fast. No issues so far. Uninstalled & re-installed Flash as rec. Updating from stock this is a big improvement:D .

Makes the tablet run much faster, especially if you have not rooted & were running stock. I really like the new sizable widgets & the easy screen capture. Neat little feature is you can drag one app shortcut on top of another & it quickly make a folder for you, automatically.

Now if HBOGo would just update their app for tablets/ICS, I would be thrilled!

[Xoom General] PitbulI:
So just to confirm. This ICS update is only for US Wifi Xooms?

I tried looking on Motorolas site for a US Rom which I thought was found there but I didn't find anything. Are there any issues with going from a Canadian XOOM Rom to a US one?
[Xoom General] fondoo:
came home last night from work and ICS was waiting for me. ICS is so much snapper than honeycomb. the xoom is like a new tablet now. also, i can finally do screen capture without rooting it. i was holding back on rooting my xoom for so long.
[Xoom General] vishrb:
Very happy with the update so far. I had read a negative review or two but I have not experienced any issues. Noticeably faster. I did turn on force 2d in settings but it was snappy already. It is very smooth. I enjoy using it more now. The lag was at times annoying.
[Xoom General] Tech_Zealot:
Probably a silly question but has anyone heard anything on the timeframe for the ICS push for non-U.S. specifically Canadian Xooms. Have heard a few people say it's unlikely to see any kind of update before June some time, I question the validity of this time frame though. I know I could easily just root my xoom, but I am reluctant to do so as I am quite new to android o/s. Though I do have technical knowledge I dont know that rooting my xoom is worth the risk involved. Suggestions and or insights on the matter would be appreciated.
[Xoom General] blair287:
Anyone got an issue with the external SD card being reconsed but not accsessable. Also where has the stock file manager gone
[Xoom General] PitbulI:
I'm thinking I might call Motorola to ask that question. They may or may not be able to help me.

I heard that we can simply install the US ROM and we'll get prompted for ICS quite quickly. Does this involve rooting or is this pretty simple stuff that I may go back to a Canadian ROM once ICS is out in Canada too?

If you look at 3.2 Wasn't Canada about a month behind the US for that update?
