Sadly said goodbye to my xoom.

Sadly said goodbye to my xoom yesterday, 3 years and it never let me down, yet it was time to move on so i traded in both my xoom and my acer iconia a1-830 for a Sony Xperia Tablet Z. I may buy another xoom in the future for nostalgia and rom testing purposes, but for now it's farewell.

A huge thank you to all the great Devs who support this amazing device, and to the fellow xoom lovers whom i have spent time with in these threads. over the last few years, i will still be here in the background watching developments.

All the best folks.

Hope you have better luck with the Sony than I have.
I thought it was time to move on from the faithful old Xoom about October last year and bought a Xperia Z2 tablet.
The Sony was great to use for a couple of weeks until it flamed out after an OTA software update.
Sent it back to Sony for repair - they reflashed it and sent it back.
Lasted exactly 3 days that time - same problem, would not switch on again, although no OTA involved this time.
Finally got it back again today and it appears they have replaced the main board and battery.
Switches on OK so far but have not used it all yet - fingers crossed it keeps going this time.

Glad I kept faithful Xoom as a standby tablet.

In the nearly 3 months I have owned the Sony Z2 I have had about 3 weeks service from it.
Owned the Xoom 3 years and had 3 years service from it.

My wife and I have semi retired our Xooms and they are now Sonos controllers and Video cam monitors on Docks.

I've bought another Xoom from eBay.

As I still have the original dock, and folio case, couldn't resist, it'll arrive this week. A wee trip down memory lane ?
