[Xoom General] oldblue910:
Yeah, it all depends on what you need. I'm in a bad boat though because even though my Xoom is a Google Experience device, Google has to submit the ROM to Verizon for testing before they're allowed to roll it out to the 3/4G Xooms like mine. This normally introduces delays of at least a month, sometimes longer. Ah well, all good things come to those who wait! haha
[Xoom General] tumpy:
that option is what I did with my Verizon xoom to get ics and I will be doing it again for JB..
[Xoom General] alex94kumar:
False. Not with Verizon. They will always give you the shaft. A big shaft
[Xoom General] got556:
....not what she said
[Xoom General] kdogg78:
Guess your just going to have to pound sand you picky SOB... IF you cant find a ROM you like that's your problem, most are quite happy with the xoom offerings...
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
woop woop JB for Xoom.

I haven't actually rooted or flashed any custom ROMs on my Xoom yet either as I haven't had a need :cowboy:

Nice that the Nexus 7 is so cheap, but I would probably still pick the Xoom over it due to the size - I don't take my Xoom out the house much so 10" is great as a laptop replacement - whereas 7 seems so small nowadays in comparison
[Xoom General] Rblacula:
Hopefully we get it even earlier considering that it leaked for the Galaxy Nexus already! Someone that actually understands how to port it should! ;-)

[Xoom General] shayne77:
Google own Motorola Mobility yeah? hence why we get the updates?

EDIT: I'm international variant so I prolly will never see JB.
[Xoom General] mcnob:
Running EOS ICS on my UK MZ604 and very happy with it. Hoping that they're gonna come through again when the official Xoom WiFi Jellybean ROM hits cos I'm guessing its the only way I'm gonna get it.

More than happy to go custom and rooted to get updates though, especially when its so simple to do.
[Xoom General] SlCKB0Y:
It's sort of a hybrid. Yes, the homescreen is in the style of a phone, but the apps have a tablet layout ...
[Xoom General] jediman:
This ota is half passed and buggy. I said as much to moto during the half assed test window. Its missing a lot
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
Google updates the Xoom in the USA, not Motorola. If you want to complain to someone, complain to Google. All Motorola does is conduct the soak tests once Google provides the ROM to them.
[Xoom General] tincbtrar:
It seems as if Google kinda put this OTA out there just to shut people up. The soak test was pretty short lived which surprised me - how much feedback could they possibly get in such a short window (Unless kids were giving feedback like 'yo this romz is straight up butterz' because it said Jellybean on it)

The 4.0.4 OTA didnt have this many issues...really really surprising to me.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
And face unlock
[Xoom General] g0fwk:
2nd time lucky clearing cache as mentioned.

Thanks for that info.

I did have a problem with the camera app from the home screen but removed that link and launch it from the applist and it works fine.

The only real issue at present is my wifi keeps dropping out and reconnecting with my router, in fact its just happened again while typing. At least it reconnects...

Thanks again for the information

Confused, OTA is failing on me

I have read this whole thread and others on Xoom forums and else ware. A few weeks ago I unlocked, loaded eos-recovery-r6.img and rooted. Now i have tried flashing back to these recovery4.0.4.img and the boot4.0.4.img (someone posted them here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1754838). I am not even sure which one I should use. Tried the recovery one but the update still fails, when I use the boot one it pulls the update down, reboots and skips the little green man part booting back up normally. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I read some places that you have to re-lock the bootloader, some people said no. I just want to get my JB and don't necessarily care if i loose root. Do i need to do a factory reset? Any guidance would greatly be appreciated!
[Xoom General] dweezy108:
got my update and it is nice. runs very fast and my battery hasn't been affected either.
[Xoom General] dannylill1981:
got the OTA yesterday, am impressed so far, but i mainly use the tablet for web browsing on the couch, so not really pushing its limits....
[Xoom General] silverstorm:
Got the OTA, in Great Britain on Olympics opening night.

Previously stock GED, on 4.0.4 and didn't see any updates for last few days (been hammering the check update option)

Was rooted and had CWM recovery. So flashed back to honeycomb US image, and went through the update cycles and it came up straight after it finished upgrading to 4.0.4

Bootloader unlocked throughout.

I like it. Scrolling between hometowns ultra smooth/responsive and the voice recognition is alarmingly fast and accurate. Adobe Flash not found on Play for JB, but no bother, used my apk backup I had from ICS, and it installed fine and working as well as it did on 4.0.4
[Xoom General] LexLuger82:
This was it
[Xoom General] Winesnob:
I'm pretty happy with the Xoom JB. Very fast compared to ICS, which was way faster than Honeycomb. Google Now is fully functional. Yes there are some small elements missing (Sound search widget, no offline voice recognition, apps not ready for JB) but overall it is a big improvement. With a little research some of the small stuff can be overcome. If you want more go buy a Nexus 7 - do you really think the Xoom would get all of the bells and whistles on the advent of Google's first Nexus tablet and the possibility of a Nexus 10 later this year? Be happy with what you have, build your own ROM, or move on and buy something new.
[Xoom General] Obievil:
Forgive me but after going through 20 pages saw no answer, will doing the ota on a non rooted Xoom wipe the device ?
[Xoom General] Winesnob:
OTA does not wipe the device.
[Xoom General] Theme Ishere:
Sorry, but there is nothing i hate more than "buy something new". That is not the point. Nore am i saying that the xoom is a bad product. It is just, taht I am disappointed about the missing features. Why is there no face unlock? Why no offline speech recognition? Google know perfectly well taht the xoom is no competitor to a potential 10 inch nexus device, so that argument doesnt count. Especially considering the way google seems to subsidise their nexus devices lately.

I know, discussing shortcomings in an android forum is futile (as is discussing about a new ****ty album in a bands official forum for example).

I like Jelly Bean (despite the reappaering browser crashes and the lag between switching homescreens right before the screen "jumps" into its final position). Nevertheless, i was hoping for a bit more. Maybe it's my fault for too high expectations.
[Xoom General] Winesnob:
Don't confuse "Nexus" with "Google Experience Device". They are not the same. All current Nexus devices implement NFC. As the Xoom doesn't, there are already certain elements of code not present. If those code elements are somehow tied to other core features, it may explain the omission of select software features. Just speculating as I am in no way a developer, just an interested follower.
[Xoom General] tincbtrar:
Yes...sad to say but your expectations are too high.

Is this the most polished update? No...but at least it gives us the option...on a 18 month old piece of hardware, to run the most current operating system within its hardware specifications.

I'm hoping that another point release will come up...but if not...ill probably go back to ICS.
[Xoom General] lchiu7:
Well I just got JB on my Xoom OTA. Having used JB on my Galaxy Nexus for the past couple of weeks I did know what to expect but nevertheless I am pretty happy with it. The Xoom may not be the greatest tablet out there but as a GED, it's nice to get the latest software deployed to it.

One interesting thing I noticed was the update also updated Netflix to the latest JB compatible version. The JB update to my GN didn't do that and Netflix would crash all the time. I had some problem doing an update from the Play Store but Netflix had also posted a link to the apk you could side load. The JB update on the Xoom also updated Netflix automatically so they must have learnt I guess.
[Xoom General] Geeba:
Anyone in the UK had JB OTA update yet?? I'm still waiting! :(
[Xoom General] Zrbyte:
Yes but not on a stock UK device. I assume you have GED'd your xoom?
[Xoom General] Geeba:
Yep its GED... Its US ICS.... the 4.0.4 update came OTA but have nothing on the JB front :confused:
[Xoom General] qsp:
How is jelly beam on xoom?? Any notical improvements?
[Xoom General] noTHINGface:
Mine came over on Friday last week, UK Wifi only Xoom GEDified. Keep banging away on the update button. You could also try force closing Google Framework Services, Clearing data and then check for updates?
[Xoom General] Geeba:
Hmmm odd that mine hasnt.. how can I confirm that the bootloader etc hasnt been changed?

I bought it with ICS on... the 4.0.4 OTA update came ok...

How do I close the Framework Services etc?:confused:
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
it is noticeably faster and smoother to me.
[Xoom General] silverstorm:
I'm in UK and got the OTA for JB last Friday as well. It didn't show up until I had re-flashed the HW619 (US honeycomb stock) and then progressed through the various OTA updates until 4.1.1.

Now to root the bloody thing... Universal Root method via flashing CWM recovery is not working. It says the superuser.apk is installed, and I can see it in my app drawer, but none of my root apps (DroidWall, Titanium, StickMount) have root capability.

I know you can flash a JB image with the root already injected in the zip, but even that gives me a constant loop to CWM recovery, doesn't get past the Motorola logo, just hangs for a minute then reboots and goes into CWM recovery. I'm thinking of going back to 4.0.4 as my tablet feels crap without root.
[Xoom General] Lakota:
That worked for me. Cheers.
[Xoom General] Geeba:
Ok, it looks like I'm not going to get JB then....

I guess its EOS time?

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

How do you do that????

Wooohoo!! sussed it! its now downloading 4.1.1! :D
[Xoom General] Zrbyte:
Ive actually found it to be less smooth then ICS was and Ive also noticed a lot of other problems have appeared since the upgrade.

Heres a few....

After you have run a full screen app when returning to the launcher the touch areas either side that allow you to switch between home screens without swiping are gone. You have to lock the device and unlock it again to get them back.

Email notifications only come through now on my hotmail using the default email client if I read or delete all, on ICS new updates would come through for each email.

Angry birds suffering loads of graphical glitches.

Lots of app incompatibility (I know patches on a per app basis will sort this but I dont remember ICS being this slow to start off with.).
[Xoom General] Winesnob:
I didn't know this feature existed until I read this post. And after using it for a bit and seeing the beauty of it, I installed a few widgets, opened a magazine, and now the feature is absent. Tried locking and unlocking to make it come back without success.

Overall I'm pleased with the JB upgrade. Very fast, smooth. While it lags occasionally (explainable with background file dwnloads , multiple web pages, etc) it is far better performing than ICS. A few apps were force closing, but after willing the app's data and cache, everything now seems to be working like butter.
[Xoom General] Geeba:
Well what a MASSIVE anti climax that was!

Finally got OTA JB on my Xoom and I'm struggling to see anything different or improved... :(

Google WTF were you thinking! :mad: its a friggin Service Pack!
[Xoom General] LexLuger82:
So, ICS>JB ?
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
Seriously? The transitions aren't smoother for you? The keyboard lag isn't gone? You haven't played around with Google Now? How about the improved notification area?
[Xoom General] sco0ter:
After returning to stock us ROM to gedify my device and doing the whole upgrade thing I had to do a factory reset after JB installed in order to get everything running smooth. I kept getting stuttering and exchange service kept BC. After reset everything is perfect and waaayyyyy faster than ics
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
Anyone who wants a run down of Jelly Bean's new features on the Xoom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbYvEQPyovY
[Xoom General] Zrbyte:
Definitely not smoother for me, Dont really think its any worse either and is also prettier. The weird keyboard lag I had is gone but has been replaced by a worse issue where sometimes mid sentence the cursor will return to the beginning of the text without warning leaving you with garbled sentences. Also noticed that sometimes in google now with typed searches occasionally only the first word in a multi word search will be used (e.g. "where do babies come from?", will just come out as "where").

See my problem with the email app for what I think of the 'improved' notification area.
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
Sounds like you may be due for a data wipe, my friend. :)
[Xoom General] DevilStrider:
I like my Team EOS ICS rom better.
[Xoom General] Zrbyte:
Already tried it. No effect. Though an update to thumb keyboard last night may have cleared up one of those Issues. The Google now and email issue where present when I tried running with no apps after my last datawipe so no joy on those.
[Xoom General] Geeba:
Yep I have this also, I typed half an email reply in the "To" field yesterday:(

It just doesnt feel or look different enough to be a 'Point' release to me... no boot animation, no wallpaper (live wallpaper is still a no go on my xoom too)... its ICS Service Pack 1! Still not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing with Google Now ether?
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
re-apply the OTA?

it definitely is heaps better for my xoom
[Xoom General] Zrbyte:
Can i do that without messing around under the hood?

And don't get me wrong, there are definite improvements, its just that all the flaws seem to be effecting the bits I use most often.
[Xoom General] SamXp:
Does it have offline voice-to-text?
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
I'm just mostly surprised you mentioned it was slower?

I am sure I re-applied an OTA before and it just let me - not sure though - what about flashing back to honeycomb and re-applying the OTA's up to JB?

I wish they would just release the .img files for ICS and JB though rather than making us OTA up to JB from HC.

I found I had bluetooth problems before with FroYo (upgrade from Eclair on HTC Desire) - ran the latest RUU to flatten my phone and reinstall from factory FroYo files and lo and behold the bluetooth issues were gone - sometimes its nice to start a fresh with the latest version rather than applying loads of updates IMO...
[Xoom General] Zrbyte:
Sorry just to clarify I got my OTA the automatic way, I don't know how to download it and flash it manually.

MZ604 WiFi only (UK) is giving me jip with 802.1x EAP :\
[Xoom General] xdatastic:
a bit vague to give help. any error message? i use 802.1x EAP at work with no issues.
[Xoom General] ptruman:
No visible errors, annoyingly.

The tablet picks up the SSID (and that it's 802.1x EAP secured)

I can add my cert (user cert copied over USB to the Internal Storage - then Security > Install from SD - CA cert using the realmb.com installer).

I modify the AP, give it the certs (as per 4.0.4) and it just says "Saved, secured with 802.1x" and never shows attempting to connect.

I don't even see "Trying to associate" that I do when the tablet connects to my WPA2 hotspot from my HTC Sensation...

Target located :)

It's my router firmware.

Switching from "N-Only" to "NG-Mixed" fixes it - but the problem doesn't show on ICS or HC, just JB.

Looking here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34786#c23 I see (from Google)

"We are aware of DD-WRT based 11n only routers having trouble. it will be fixed as part of an update."

Bear with me while I ask a question that may or may not have been answered elsewhere--I searched and read until my eyes were bleeding!

I have an MZ600 with ICS 4.0.4 OTA update that I've rooted. I will assume that this will render the update to JB 4.1.1 OTA impossible. Therefore, I'd like to know where to find a stable, smooth looking JB ROM to install that might allow me to do the one thing that I really want to do--unlock the VZW to allow me to plug in my Sprint SIM card. I am currently in Kuwait, so using a local SIM won't be possible because of the lack of compatible cell towers (mostly GSM here). So...anyone have any tasty tidbits of information they'd like to divulge? :D

[Xoom General] oldblue910:
You need to download the stock images for your device at http://developer.motorola.com/xoomsoftware. Boot your Xoom into fastboot mode and flash all four of the images. When you boot, you'll be running an old version of stock Honeycomb, but you'll get OTAs, so just keep applying the updates as it prompts you and eventually you'll be on Jelly Bean.
[Xoom General] DsturbD:
good point
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
I'm hopeful that VZW will finally approve JRO03H for release to the CDMA/LTE Xoom soon. They have approved Google's ROM for the Galaxy Nexus and Google started rolling it out as of Friday.

When 4.0.4 came out, the VZW Galaxy Nexus update began on a Friday and the Xoom was the following Monday. That's clearly not the case here, but considering that we know VZW has been testing JRO03H since at least early August (when it was leaked here), you figure the release must be imminent.
[Xoom General] Trooper Thorn:
Will the VZW OTA support the MZ600 3G only models as well as those with 4G LTE? Sorry if this has been covered before, but I hadn't seen a thread on it.
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
Yeah. Once the 4G upgrade happened, the Honeycomb builds got forked, sort-of. The non-upgraded 3G Xooms stayed on 3.2.1/HTK75D while the 4G ones were on 3.2.2/HLK75C and received some updates to 3.2.2/HLK75D, 3.2.4/HLK75F, and 3.2.6/HLK75H.

Once Ice Cream Sandwich released, they updated both the 3G and 4G Xoom to IMM76L using an HTK75D->IMM76L update for the 3G Xoom and an HLK75H->IMM76L update for the 4G ones. This brought both devices onto a single build and single update. Now that they're on a common platform, OTA updates going forward will be one and done. The same update works for both the 3G and 4G Xooms now.
[Xoom General] oldblue910:
Looks like the VZW Xoom build would be JRO03T if this is to be believed: http://www.handsetdetection.com/properties/viewheader/Motorola/Xoom/505fb942bfa0909f17004a03

[Xoom General] oldblue910:
Unfortunately, I'd be very surprised if the non-US Xooms get Jelly Bean. The US devices get updates straight from Google. The international models get updates from Motorola. Time will tell, but don't count on Motorola delivering a JB update for MZ601. :(

Hello I would like to know if for the MZ600 is now out the last OTA in my xoom say I am in 4.0.4

[Xoom General] oldblue910:
No...Verizon is still testing or delaying the Xoom Jelly Bean update. The problem is, the Xoom isn't a priority device for them anymore so they'll get to it when they get to it. Motorola's update page says Q4 2012 so I can't imagine it'll take much longer. Keep in mind that the Verizon Xoom took six months to receive an update from Honeycomb to Ice Cream Sandwich.

Once the update rolls out, I'm sure it'll be 4.1.2/JZO54(X) and it will be most certainly be the final update. At least the Verizon Xoom's updates come from Google (after approval from Verizon). The international models get updates from Motorola so I will guarantee that MZ601, MZ605, and MZ606 will never see official Jelly Bean updates.

Unbelievable. How the hell could that update require that much testing?! Christ almighty... the firmware works like a dream on WiFi- only models. Honestly, Verizon probably just hasn't got around to testing yet. The Xoom isn't a priority device so they'll get to it when they get to it.
