Ice Cream Sandwich Update Rolling Out to XOOM WiFi Now

by: Kellex | posted 01.18.12 | News

At the tail end of last week, an Ice Cream Sandwich update file for the Motorola XOOM WiFi was posted up across the interwebs, giving experienced users a chance for manual installation. If those instructions appeared to be too much work, you no longer have to wait to update. The update, according to the flood of emails in our inbox, is rolling out now to all XOOM WiFi models.

To pull it, cruise into Settings>About tablet>System updates.

Cheers Max, Zeph, Brian and Nicolas!

Anyone know what order they’re rolling this out in? I still haven’t gotten it, but my co-worker sitting in the same building as me got it already.

It is most likely done randomly or by modle number (S/N)

I finally got my ICS update at about 11pm MT last night. Gotta say, it is just as good as it is on my Galaxy Nexus.

Hell, yes! Thank you Googarola! Now Verizon just needs to get their sheit together and finish testing for the 3/4G users.

Bah. 11am EST (Roughly) in Westhampton, NY and still nothing.

Tom

same in fairport ny my finger is hurting from hitting the check for update button to many times

rob

What do rooted users have to do to get this?

I remember when google released the ICS source and everyone was sure CM9 would be out by the time Motoroala got around to releasing ICS. Sure there’s a few unofficial CM9 roms out there, but it would have been nice to see CM come out ahead on this one.

Too bad I gave up on the Xoom months ago. Motofail.

yes it is too bad, because now it has ICS. You lose.

Tony Psaltis

Been waiting for this for quite some time. Just checked. No update for me quite yet. ;-(.

I’m sure I’ll be checking frequently as the day progresses. I hope it gets here soon. I don’t think I can wait any longer.

So don’t expect 3g/4g rollout until summer. Thanks Verizon!
Matt

Got mine this morning in CT. I can’t seem to find the face unlock feature, do we not get this?

Jon Wolff

Didn’t check mine to see if it is there, but if it is it would be under settings->security->screen lock

Matt

That’s what I thought, so it looks like we don’t get it. Only things I’m seeing are: Slide, Pattern, Pin and Password.

Aaron Antaya

Anyone know if this will also hit the xoom Family edition? I am assuming they are pretty much the same build.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000106808261 Keith Sumner

nope, different device, different kernel, different software build. When in the history of anything Android has an exact build for one device worked on another device without changing anything? Never.

Only thing the family edition has in common with the Google Experience version is the name, and the Tegra chipset…

startingtohatevzw

any idea when this will be available for the 3G version?

Time to sell my 3G Xoom

Are the SD card issues fixed on the Xoom yet? I just might have to pick up a used Xoom if it is.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 please….

My Xoom Wi-Fi hasn’t gotten the update yet, even when trying to retrieve i get no update, it says 3.2.1 is “up to date”, WTF! I want that OTA too!

Anonymous

Exactly like mine. mine is the American WiFi version. I don’t know why it says this.

They push OTAs in waves so their servers don’t get crushed… Try hitting the refresh, or reboot every now and then, you’ll get it eventually since you’re on the right Xoom (US WiFi)

Finally got the update. Thanx

I spent a total of about 7 hours of hacking and bought a special cord so I could get this on my Xoom over the weekend lol, I should have been patient…. But boy does it run better

droidrev71

Got the update in about 5 minutes, working great. Its like a brand new tablet!
jwoolf

Xoom 3G owners were told they would be upgraded to 4G LTE within two months of purchase. That turned to late June 2011. That turned to the end of July. Then by September. Then sometime around October it happens, right after Samsung is out with their 4G tablet. Then VZ drops the price by a few hundred. First stop is 599 then 299. 3G Xoom was not the worst tablet computer but the worst purchase of 2011.
FU VZ.

James Payne

I have to completely agree with this. Premium cost for sub par service.
bmor06

Yeah but we got a free dock with the upgrade

This is why I will never buy a Motorola product again. Nothing but false promises and delays.

Anonymous

I completely agree. Motorola seriously is garbage. I’ve come to a point that i’m considering going over the dark side “Apple”. Everything runs more fluid and the GALAXY NEXUS was a complete disappointment.

BillyT

How on Earth can anyone credibly label the Galaxy Nexus a “complete disappointment”? What exactly did it promise that it failed to deliver? As an owner of iPhone 3, 3GS, 4, 4S, OG Droid, Incredible, X, X2, Thunderbolt, and Bionic (I manage a HUGE number of wireless accounts ok?) I can honestly saw this is NOT a perfect phone, but certainly the best I have ever carried. I get it – they hype was insane, but those fueling the fire need a serious dose of reality – it is the first ICS phone and it is a great device.

Billy, don’t even waste your time. That’s just another fanboy in here attempting to incite a poop fight. I wish the fanboys would just stay in their forums. How hard is that?

Erik Bond

To those saying that they don’t have the update. Just be calm, and hit the “check now” button every hour or so. You’ll get the update soon.

I hope so.

Yoj

is that only for the US, because I live in the UK and my Xoom didn’t receive an update yet

Though I still can’t pull the update.

Crazydog

Is this the same as the earlier release? If not, anyone know if I’ll get an update if I’m running the earlier one?
P33chy_K33n

Any ideas as to when 3G/4G Xoom will get updated?

Guest

2 to 4 weeks from WiFi push usually. Has to be approved by VZW first.

Xiermail

Look forward to the LTE release…. I have Ipad’s, GTab’s but continue to use my XooM on a daily basis. Love ICS on my GNEX and want to see how it runs on the Tab.

jbon

Totally sucks that 3G/4G models seem to be left out of this.
