You can download the update.zip but it won't do you any good unless you have a USB Host Cable (or whenever a flashable file for rooted Xooms is released)

You can update without OTG / OTA: http://forum.androidcentral.com/xoom...pdate-now.html (update OP w/this as well) - it's straightforward, not that tedious.

yea..I saw that. Does anyone know any more about having a 3g with VZW but not having a data plan? Do we need to activate our data to get the update?

**zmenchhofer** · 05-11-2011, 02:42 PM

no you dont have to activate your data plan to get the update... might take a little bit.. however, by the end of week you will have it.

You shouldn't no. As long as you have an internet connection it should still work.

**douhunt** · 05-12-2011, 01:05 AM

**KoukiFC3S** · 05-12-2011, 02:03 AM

3G and still no update.

**alphanu22** · 05-12-2011, 02:03 AM

me either, 12:03 Washington

**genoist** · 05-12-2011, 07:33 AM

Your physical location has nothing to do when you will get the update.

**dhendriksen** · 05-12-2011, 07:36 AM

I'm going to grab a USB OTG cable today and do it that way.

I may do the same thing, it'll be nice to have since we can use it now with the XOOM.

**Maikai.Guy** · 05-12-2011, 08:25 AM

This is frustrating. I bought our 3 XOOMs in the first moments of the first day. None of us have received an update. I don't begrudge WiFi people from getting the update, but for Pete's sake, we had our units a month longer.

I wonder what criteria is used to select who is included in the batch upgrades. And why can't the batches go out in one day?

Not feeling the love. Glad I have the XOOM, but the complete lack of communication (after signing up for notices with both Motorola and Verizon) is negatively affecting my ownership experience. This is not the way to foster loyal customers.

At this point, you don't know if you've somehow fallen off the list or not. Before anyone says that can't happen, that's exactly what happened with my Incredible. 2.2 was sent out and I never got it. I called Verizon and was told "Be patient, it's coming." About a month after the initial push, a Verizon rep clickity clicked something and the push came as I was on the phone with her. She apologized and said she didn't understand why I was forgotten. Doh!

just got my update this morning, so far pretty nice. does feel snappier scrolling through windows and opening up programs. Notice the Wifi icon now shows send receive activity. I like the ability to size the widgets. The new Videos app/icon is nice giving you a new means to access rentals and personal videos. When using it to access the videos on the device has a similar layout to the google ebooks layout with the arcing scroll feature. So far enjoying it.

Nice to hear, overall speed is what I am looking for along with better browsing and Flash integration.

How do you force it? Mine checks every 24 hours and I don't see how to force it sooner.

**lchute1158** · 05-12-2011, 10:13 AM

Still not update for me.

Mine seems to check on 12hr intervals, and all you can do is see when it checked last, not force it like you could with 2.2
