Honeycomb 3.2 for the Flyer is here!

[glenninduluth]

Just did a software update check on my Wi-Fi Flyer (Best Buy) and it asked me if I wanted to updat to 3.2. Went ahead and did it and so far all is working good.

Yep, pulling it down now...

Honeycomb appears to have broken my Flyer. No software buttons, no hardware buttons, touchscreen not responding. All I get to do is stare at the wallpaper. Can't even reboot it because no UI elements are appearing. Awesome.

Just got the OTA for 3.2 just now UK Wifi model.

HC works great as expected.

I would recommend to some people to restore to factory default settings after updates to get rid off all the conflict between incompatible 2.3 and 3.0 apps.

Pulled it down and installed last night. Everything went smoothly, I didn't time it but it was probably only 10 - 15 minutes before it was ready to go.

Still no updates available on mine - is there any way to manually pull this update to my Flyer?

Sounds like things are going smoothly for everyone else, I guess I'm just doomed to never have a fully functional Flyer, whether on GB or HC.

Thanks for the link. Any idea if this works if the bricked Flyer was originally s-on? Mine was completely stock at the time of the OTA.

I'm going to read a few more of your reviews before jumping to HC. I am pretty happy with my Flyer just as it is. It does all of the things I need it to do just fine.

HBO GO and Hulu Plus do not work after the honeycomb update. HBO doesn't even appear in the market.

Same here.

Downloaded it late last night. Been playing with it non stop for about the past five hours. Haven't run into a single problem. Not one of the 30 or so apps I had on it before the update is having any problem running with Honeycomb. No lag, no extra battery drain (no noticeable improvement, either), no problem with the battery overheating as I read a few instances of with the Evo View. It has fixed the two issues I had before. One, it was constantly syncing even when nothing is selected to sync & the cell standby was stealing about 20% of the battery life when it shouldn't even be on a wi-fi only tablet. I used to have to leave it in airplane mode to shut the cell standby down. Not anymore! I do miss the carousel of the home screens but it's really no big deal. Took a little while to get used to the new location of some buttons on the screen but I'm good with them now. I actually prefer the home and back buttons being on the bottom of the screen now. I did prefer the background being white letters on black in the settings menu (black on white now). But again, no big deal. And the big difference is being able to use the scribe pen for so much more! All in all, unless your in love with Gingerbread (which I never had a real problem with) I would go for it.

Mine still doesn't show the update available.

Downloading now!

So far so good here. Downloaded last night before bed. I think things are running a bit snappier like others have said. No issues with apps that were already installed. A couple of apps that I like on my Xoom aren't compatible with this yet. Bummer.

Oh, and if you swipe fast enough you get the little spinny deal still. I think that comment was in this thread.

 

[glenninduluth]

Thanks for the tip on making the home screens spin. Just tried it and your right, it works if you spin it real fast!

Well, mine went well, I thought. After first boot, I could not access the internet <proxy issue>, rebooted again and now can't connect to market, rhapsody, pandora, and various other apps.

Anyone have this going on and or have a solution?
