I'm afraid there probably isn't anything wrong with your Xoom.

Newer Android devices have a feature, lets call it "Quick Boot"...which allows a device to be turned on in seconds! But what is actually happening is, the device is never properly off. The RAM is stored, and when the device is turned on again, it resumes...sort of like your computer hibernating.

You can check this out by comparing the boot times of turning a device off and on, and rebooting...where everything is shut down. Rebooting should take about 50 to 100% longer.

The Xoom however is ever so slightly too old to have this Quick Boot feature. When you turn the Xoom off, it is off properly. And when you turn it on, it has to load everything fresh.

Give it a chance though. The Xoom might be getting on a bit now, but it is still a great device. And if the boot time is annoying you so much...simple...don't turn it off!
