So I come across this article today and now I am beyond pissed off.
I have waited patently for over 6months for my Xoom to be updated to 4g as stated when I bought it. I have watched another manufacturer release a 4g tablet and said no biggie anytime. Now i find out Motorola will be selling a 4g tablet in the next 2 weeks and they have yet to make good on the advertised 4g on the Xoom.

Really? It says right in the URL that the upgrade is starting on the 29th.

If the new Xoom goes on sale on this date that means they have been producing them to distribute instead of taking care of current customers first. How long will it take for them to upgrade all our units.

LTE Upgrade Package confirmation

Motorola of CTDI sent _________ 1 FedEx Standard Overnight package(s).

This shipment is scheduled to be sent on 09/29/2011.


I went to Verizon's site and entered my MEID and personal info.

I am trying to enter my info but after it asks me for my address it tells me it cannot complete. Very frustrating.

I'm filling out the stuff for mine right now, it says I get a free standard dock "while supplies last"

Sad that I have the speaker dock..oh wells a little peace offering it seems like

 

[dubsjw27]

just completed the form...had not received the official email from motorola yet however. Don't have an address I can use for signed deliveries however. May have to take a day off

I noticed the dock as well. I guess I have one for the office now... Happy about the update finally happeneing, but alittle upset it took so long.... either way, This should breath new life into my tablet. Let's see if Ice cream does the same in a few months.

R U guys rooted if so what you guys did to unroot or what you guys removed to send it back..?? Will they upgrade it if I send it rooted with TIAMAT..??

 

[pecosROB]

Of course I go to the signup page and put in my info and what happens? I get a message saying it can't connect and to try back later. This is so annoying.

I believe I read something that said they don't care if you have it rooted...

It's about time. I'm more than a little upset that it took this long but we'll see what happens. It's funny, I had just filed FTC complaints and Better Business Bureau complaints a week ago. I had fun filling out the BBB form. If it goes up the chain at Motor, they will be laughing at my list of suggested remedies for a long time.

I unrooted and will wipe everything before sending the device in. I've waited a long time for this and the last thing I want is it screwed up because of a custom ROM. I read some said they were going to leave it rooted and lock it. I think this is stupid for the time it takes to unroot and reroot, just return it to stock. Who wants the send in the device wait three days only to have it sent back without the update because you thought you would be the cool guy and lock your rooted voided warranty Xoom.

I think they just factory flash it. It won't matter if it's rooted. When they hook it up they use a different cable to activate a section in the memory that can be flashed in one step. Sort of like flashing multiple hard drives for pc's. They actually thought about it at moto! It won't matter if you encrypt it, root it, or load the wrong firmware. It will come back with stock 3.2.2 and locked! Already spoke with a friend at moto about it. They just want to make sure we hide our files from prying eyes. They can't just throw a 4g card in and send it back, because it has to be bench tested to show it is working b4 they ship it back out. Trust me that cable is well worth the money too! Even if you brick your xoom, you can flash it back to stock in one click. But you have to have the file and the software moto use with that cable.

I filled in my RMA request, then immediately got a FedEx email telling me my shipping box tracking number. But in true Motorola fashion, the box still hasn't actually shipped yet...

My box arrived and before I could detain the fed-ex guy for 1 minute to package it he bolted. So I'll head to fed-ex shortly I guess.
