Motorola Xoom :: How To Handle Updates With Many Variables And Region Differences
Jun 13, 2011
It has become clear that Motorola's tactic is to provise updates and meet promises in a fragmented way, the main issue with Xoom is the multiple number of models and builds to an extent that Motorola is not sure anymore how to handle the updates with many variables and region differences, and their way to handle this is by creating more fragmentation, the US Verizon Models were the first to receive the 3.1 update followed by the US Wifi ones, later will be non-US Wifi upfate to 3.1 possibly with sd card enabling, followed by non-US 3g with the same update and finally back to the US Verizon 4g upgrade and sd enabling concurretly or sd after 4g.Some have predicted this when the US upfate started and Motorola denied at the time. Now it is clear this is the plan.
how to get Android Honeycomb updates installed onto my Xoom (WiFi)? I've had is since April 2011 and i'm stuck on version 3.0.1. No matter how many times I check for updates, I never get any! Getting really frustrated now about it. I'm based in the UK and the device is a UK device.
I am having a problem updating motoprint in the app store. Whenever I open the motoprint software it tells me there is an update. I click download update and it takes me to the app store, where it lists that there is an update. However when I click install update in the store it throws an error that says update not found.
I have a replacement 4G LTE Xoom that I just received a few weeks ago on warrantee from Motorola. It works fine, except it doesn't seem to be getting the system updates that I have heard are already released. Here's what I have right now:Android 3.2.2Baseband Vers CDMA_N_03.1A.52P ltedc_u_05.15.00Kernel vers 2.6.36.3-g6963abe android-build@apa28 #1build #HLK42BI've gone in multiple times to check system updates and it keeps telling me it's up to date. However, I was supposed to be part of the latest push and got the survey, but never got the update. From what I can see, I'm a version or two behind, but I can't seem to get the newer versions.
Just checked on my Xoom for updates and I get an error message syaing: "Unable to check for updates at present. Please try again later." Could this mean that ICS is about to be rolled out to UK Xooms.
I understand that your hands are loosely tied as Honeycomb is a Google OS and as such updates need to come from them.However, your competitors appear to have been able to launch with things like SD card suppor and there is still no communication about when this will occur.I am not demmanding an update NOW! Just some level of communication on the progress/eta/time-line on when there will be an update to enable all the hardware to function.I also have a number of things I would like to discuss regarding the OS itself but lets first of all see if you can at least communicate with us on the most basic level?
After installing app updates yesterday and today, I noticed app did not clear update section at the top of installed apps. It happened while updating Dungeon Defenders yesterday. It finally cleared to installed after reinstalling Dungeon Defenders three times. Could not uninstall Dungeon Defenders while trying to clear the app from the update list. Just kept reinstalling. Finally stopped showing on update list. App started normally and ran afterwards. Same thing with Angry Birds this morning. Still not off Update app list.
Im looking at picking up an inexpensive Quad Band phone for an upcoming trip to the UK. I have narrowed it down to either the V195 or the V197.As far as i can tell the V197 is just a different color. Are there any other differences between the 2 phones?
I read on Amazon i think, that one person said the black colored center row of keys on the V197 were hard to read. FROm the pictures it doesn't appear that they would.I like the black color better than the blue, so i would prefer it over the V195.
All my merged contacts end up using the Twitter handle, which in most case, isn't the person's name. There doesn't seem to be any way to override this other than unlink the Twitter account, then I end up with duplicate contacts. I know this has been discussed before but I couldn't find it in search. Is there any way to override this?
i have spoken to a few people who have iphone 4s they think there is no real difference between them is this true or is there a major thing i need to know between the two, what are the real differences
Besides totally free navigation (saving 10€ per year), what benefits are there upgrading to 3.03? I use both 3.01 and 3.03 in two E66s side by side, and so far I don't see what is better in 3.03 in normal car navigation.How come 3.03 does not have predictive country/city/street name search anymore? In 3.01 it is very handy if you are not quite sure how the city or street name is written (especially abroad), or you are not quite certain of the name of the street you are trying to find.Why was this dropped from 3.03, or am I using 3.03 wrong way? Unlike some, fortunately I at least seem to get street name searches ok also in 3.03 offline mode.One more thing, does it matter whether you download maps to either 3.01 or 3.03 through OVI suite or PC Suite/OVI map loader? OVI suite map loader has never really worked for me, I am unable to download anything from it. PC Suite variant works more reliably, just downloaded all maps and voices to E66 3.03 over night.
I have a Verizon 8560 which had the internal screen go out.However, it says its only for GSM and not CDMA... that seems odd to me. Are there any overriding differences between the GSM and CDMA versions, or is this guy full of it?
So I had music on my xoom but accidently deleted it. I tried going in my computer files to copy and paste songs from my itunes into my folder on xoom called music but says wrong format. I don't know what to do.
I bought the device few days ago and on very same day updated to Android ver. 3.2. I use internet over my home Wifi and have a Netgear - WGR614 router. The browsing speed is very very slow and most sites dont open.The signal strength shown in xoom is - (-105 dBm 3 asu).Is this a issue with Android 3.2 update or my home wifi is weak? Would i be able to reset the tab to the original version?

Has anyone had any success with using Wifi that required user certificates? I'm trying to get my Xoom to connect to the corporate network (EAP-TLS) and followed the instructions for the IPad and imported my certificated into Android correctly. But when I connect, it hangs at the connecting state for minutes, before finally giving up.
I would like to buy the XOOM speaker dock and play music from my XOOM on a daily basis.... I'm worried about having it plugged (and charging) in too much and that I might GREATLY reduce the battery life by charging my XOOM too much.
I have C3-00 with firmware v8.71. I noticed that when making or receiving a call, even with the volume set to 10 bars, when someone is standing next to me, he cannot hear the voice of the one am talking to. My friend has C3-00 with firmware V8-63, when he receives or makes a call, when you are standing next to him, you can hear the voice of the person he is talking to and you can reduce the volume in order for somone next to you not to ehar what you are discussion. Is it about the firmware or is it just my phone?I want to know so if I have to reverse back to V8.63 by flashing the phone or maintaining V8.71.
What are the differences of these Xperia Active model numbers? In some instances my phone is being detected as ST17 by some apps but it clearly states on the About section that it is ST17i.

Bought two new 900s from AT&T. Wife took a short video on UDH, and burnt up nearly a GB of her small 16GB card...so I'm on the hunt. I have a 32GB in mine, both cards were from our previous S3 Minis.
I have a 64GB in my Tab A, will the S5 handle a 64GB or even a 128GB?
I'm a current owner of the BB 9700 Bold 2 (for private purposes only) and I love the keyboard and the (email) software overall. However, I somehow dislike the overall build quality .I want to buy another BB - the Storm 2. Will I be satisfied with the Storm 2 by means of typing speed and build quality? What are the other main differences between those two BBs (besides the obvious ). And moreover: Should I buy the Storm 2 now or should I wait for a newer device?!
I have 2 personal, 2 work, 2 miscellaneous email accounts. I combined the 2 personal into a "personal" folder, the 2 work in a "Work" folder and left the other 2 alone. I have 4 email accounts on my first 2 rows. You know what I mean, right? How do you manage your accounts? Do you have separate email accounts on your screen? How do you combine them? I know it is a personal preference but I am willing to try a new trick (even as an old dog!)
