I know it sucks having to wait, it's really only been a couple of days and they will all be updated by tomorrow. If you're into doing it yourself there are ways to force the update on your Xoom with just some direction following that you can get in the hacks forum.

I think Google is pretty awesome at software updates, there will even be a new version of Android in 6 months or less.

I totally get your frustration, as I had it myself until I got the update to push though, but once you get there 3.1 has a "check now" for updates button.

Just think yourselves lucky us EU buyers won't see it for months and will struggle on with the crappy browser events, unstable poor performing 3.0. Never going to buy Motorola again or at least be an early EU adopter.

Is this for all people on a foreign connection or just specifically xooms sold in other countries?

I bought mine from the states but currently in school in the Caribbean, I really hope I'm not getting screwed out of the update too.

This is how OTA updates work. They roll the update out to customers in increments over the course of a few days. It's not unique to the Xoom, and you really just need to be patient and wait a few days.

**thr0tt** · 05-12-2011, 05:54 PM

Assumption is that if u don't update via a us server then u wait like the rest of us.

**slackerjack** · 05-12-2011, 06:19 PM

Be patient...I just got mine, wifi only xoom I picked up on launch day.....it looks like its rolling out quickly!

**Major** · 05-12-2011, 06:27 PM

Phased rollouts are not uncommon. Think of it as waiting in line at a store's checkout. You'll get your turn.

You'll probably get it really soon. Weren't people from Europe complaining that they won't see the XOOM for months? Then the EU got it pretty quick?

So now you think it will be months before you see an update. Heck, you'll probably see it next week.

**STEMALO** · 05-12-2011, 08:01 PM

Will Canadian Xooms get the update also?

**bartman8888** · 05-12-2011, 08:35 PM

Keep your socks on... it was 3 weeks before I got my Droid Incredible 2.2 update.... act like you're waiting for Adobe Flash update, LTE upgrade, SD Card support or for developers to write more Honeycomb apps.

**LMO** · 05-12-2011, 09:58 PM

Yeah, all we can do is have patience I guess. I've reverted back to stock, unrooted, and been watching it all day (even doing the force trick by changing the date back and forth), and still nothing. I did notice, however, that each time it checks it is 2 hours later right on the dot. It checked at 4:05, 6:05, 8:05, 10:05... Hmmmm, maybe 12:05 will be my turn!

**derekw68** · 05-12-2011, 10:18 PM

i think it is bad that I have a Verizon xoom and I Don,t have the update and some people with wifi do. I know I have had mine longer than any wifi user.

**freeky1** · 05-12-2011, 10:34 PM

I agree! Mine is a 3g Xoom and day three has just ended and still no update. Totally unacceptable!

Sent from my Etch A Sketch

**LMO** · 05-12-2011, 11:37 PM

YES!!! 12:05 was my turn! Woohoo! Updating now...
I would suggest changing the date ahead a couple days and back (rebooting each time). Then just let it sit all day... mine was plugged in to AC -- not sure if that made a difference or not. I wonder if it checks whether your battery is low and then it won't push it? hmm... Anyway, it was pretty frustrating, but just have to be patient I guess.

**sq0nk** · 05-12-2011, 11:47 PM

Totally unacceptable? Really? I love the whole I'm entitled to these updates instantly and if I don't get it I'll complain and show the world my displeasure. Waiting for update is pretty common with mobile devices so waiting is nothing new. Is this the first time you had a device that offered OTA updates?

It's just an update to an OS, there are more important things in life to get all excited over. Take a breath and relax.

You are on a geek forum. Updates are the most exciting things in life for geeks.

So true. And moto is pouring salt in the wounds by updating people who could care less about the update before us geeks.

**ariurban** · 05-13-2011, 03:52 AM

I have a stock 3g Verizon xoom here in calif. And still no update

Does changing the date and rebooting help? Do I switch the date back before I reboot?
Thanks for any advice.
Wow already Friday morning...thought the update was supposed to be finished before Friday...I think?

**afolgueira** · 05-13-2011, 05:28 AM

Dude stop defending Google, the fact is that Google, oems and carriers are horrible at updates where is GB?????? What phone wad upadated????? None the only

**afolgueira** · 05-13-2011, 05:31 AM

By the way it is friday may 13 and no updates, if the xoom would work properly i would not be complaining too much about the update.

**moosc** · 05-13-2011, 06:04 AM

250000 is a lot if you just drop it to the masses it will crash the servers. they said it will roll out over next few weeks. just the way updates go nothing new. that's why sights like xda rock they have was for you to update with out waiting.

I'm in the same boat as you. It's BS.

**ChuckG73** · 05-13-2011, 06:45 AM

Still no 3.1 here

**nismo591** · 05-13-2011, 07:02 AM

Had my xoom since the day verizon released it. I'm don't like apple any more or less then android but it sure is nice when they push an update everyone can get it at the same time so I don't like the excuse it will crash the servers with 250,000 units since there are probably 2.5 million iPhones downloading updated software when its released.

I also still have not received the update nor my music beta invite.....
