Any other 3G XOOM owners not received an update?

I'm still waiting for the update, located in South West Michigan on a stock 3G Xoom which I picked up on Launch day. I have also received my invite for Music Beta and that is actually working on my device already...... (Updates through the Market place)

The idea of OTA updates is fantastic. In practice google are showing us that it is not fantastic. In fact it is frustrating for the users...... This update was announced as rolling out 2 days ago and some of us are still waiting.

They should either roll out OTA updates quicker, or offer the option of a tethered update (via PC etc) as soon as the OTA updates start rolling out.

I'm not sure Google appreciate just how much they are annoying owners with the current OTA update method. I am slightly biased as I get impatient, but come on...... Many of us are slightly frustrated with our devices as it is and when an update comes out that is supposed to fix these problems and add functionality we are going to want them at the same time as others...... Anyway, I need to end my RANT..... RANT ENDED

I was in your boat yesterday and got sick of waiting...p3droid put up a real nice and detailed walkthrough to manually update, and you won't loose any data. Took me about 15 min to do

I didn't see that where is it at?

EDIT: found it at MDW... don't want to root to update, guess I'll keep waiting

Amen, brother. Although I would never want to be stuck plugging my device into a computer just to get the update (I'm looking at you, Apple), I don't see why they can't make the updates more accessible. On the XOOM, we can't even check for the update unless we want to change the date on our device and restart it (which isn't exactly fast) and that's just lame.

Do we know who is actually delivering this update? Is it Moto, Verizon, or Google? If it's Google, then I don't get the hold-up. They have more bandwidth than anyone.

It's not because of bandwidth - they want to avoid bricking all XOOM users if the update is bad...that's why it's done in phases so if there are issues they impact the least amount of people.

Stock 3G Xoom, launch day, received unsolicited Music beta invite (which I signed up for, and downloaded Music app update - works great).

Still waiting...

Does anyone know if there's a hacked version of flash that works with 3.1 for Hulu? (Sorry OP, don't mean to hijack the thread)

I agree, I do find it maddening to know that there is an update out and you have no way of getting it by traditional means. I'm totally on board with both the rolling OTA update as well as the day 1 tethered update for the power users.

I very much over the carrier barrier in all of this. If they say its out 'today' then it should be. You would think they would have this ironed out by now.

Xoom Stock 3g in Pheonix and Xoom Stock 3g in Detroit burbs (brother) still waiting on the update.

Still waiting on my 3.1 update in nashville.

Havent gotten an invite to music beta either.

I never get Google invites. They don't like me..... haha

If you don't mean to hijack the thread, then don't ask unrelated questions.... just saying that you don't mean to hijack doesn't cure it...

I'm still waiting too. Stock unactivated 3g in Oregon.

I think I've read that people who are rooted have gotten it, but they lose root once installed.

This whole rolling out updates is a bit ridiculous. I can understand for the average user who doesn't keep up with things it might not be an urgent matter. For us early adapters who know it's out there and can't get it (officially), it's frustrating. A company as savvy as Google should be able to come up with options to manually force the update, for those of us who choose to do so.

Still waiting in Jacksonville Florida. Purchased mine on launch day...

Getting extremely annoyed at this point. Maybe I am soured being an iPhone fan. When apple announces an update, it is immediately available to everyone.

 

[MWFD]

still waiting in Phila, PA. No Xoom update, no Music Beta invite, getting pretty frustrated

 

[ericbergan]

In Mountain View, CA, wife's Xoom updated over night, mine still says it's up to date. Go figure..

 

[MiloCP]

Twin Cities, Minnesota.

Stock 3g, bought opening day.

No update, no Music invite (despite signing up).

Waiting...

 

[Ryououki]

Still waiting in Sacramento, CA.

 

[pecosROB]

In East Texas, no update yet. Got mine the first week of March and have data with Verizon. Stock/not rooted.

I also didn't get my invite - I signed up just in case. I was able to update my Music player through the Marketplace by clicking on My Apps and there was an update for it.

 

[slowrey]

Still waiting in Austin, TX

 

[boxmander]

Twin cities, MN. No 3.1 HC OTA update yet. Bought my xoom 3G without Verizon service day of ipad2 launch, I did get the Google beta music invite via Motorola.
This is frustrating, there should be a way for power users to apply the OTA update in an official way.
