I got my Xoom upgraded to 4G, who else got there's?

I filled out the form a few weeks back to get on the notification list. Is there anything else I need to do to get myself an invitation?

It's not an invitation it's just part of the upgrade your supposed to get when you bought your Xoom with VZW. As far as I know, it's supposed to start after September 1st.
 
According to another forum, government and business owners will be upgraded first. At least the process has started...
 
What if you purchased the Xoom from someone else. Would we have to contact Verizon on the upgrade?

Would like answer to this as well, bought my Xoom on CL about 3 months ago. Would we need to activate Xoom on VZW before getting upgrade for LTE?
 
Bump on the battery life. Can any of you comment?

I notice a significant difference in power consumption.
I notice a minor difference in power consumption.
I notice no difference in power consumption.
OMG! I actually have more power than before!!! It now acts as a power generator for all my household appliances, including my electric car! ;-)

Please check one.

I think you would need to register it with Motorola. VZW has nothing to do with the upgrade since Xooms are shipped back to Motorola.

If you don't activate on VZW, what would be the use of getting the 4G upgrade anyway? 4G is a service from:eek: VZW that you subscribe to. Getting the modification and then not activating it would be a complete waste of time. That said, the notification will come from VZW, the form to fill out is through VZW, so no. If you do not have service through VZW you would not be able to register or get the free 4G upgrade. If people don't want to pay for the service and complain about paying for the service, why the excitement to get an upgrade to equipment that would require a subscription in order to use????

You don't need a contract. You can buy data access on a non-contract basis. So, for people who only need 4G when they travel, this makes sense.

Only thing that stinks about that is you have to pay the activation fee each time you want to start up service again. Just don't understand why you can't just pay each month you want it and not have a activation fee if you decide to stop service for a few months and then want it back.

Yeah, that stinks. It should be like the Ipad which is a post pay plan. When you want it you just activate it on the device and, can stop anytime on the device, with no extra fees.

If you re-read my post, I never said you need a contract. I said you need a subscription. This means you must pay for the ability to use the 4G service on Verizon. You can sign up for a day, a month or 2 years but the contract is always optional. The contract decides the price of the equipment. If you have your own equipment then there is absolutely no contract required. However, to use the 4g service from Verizon wireless REQUIRES a subscription of a length of your choosing. You cannot legally get 4g service from VZW without it.:p

If you want to stop for a few months then you want to suspend the account, not cancel. That way you do not have to pay th activation fee again. I believe it is only set up to suspend for a few months so if you want it longer you may have to suspend multiple times or they may automatically start back up again.
 
I assume no one else has got the 4G upgrade yet, I'm sure ready for it. it will be just in time for the upcoming football season were I can stream Sunday ticket.

True but I heard you can only suspend 1 time every six months or 1 time a year and can only do it for so many months at a time. Not sure what one it is but it is limited.

I hope they start sending out the notices to us "regular" people soon. I got mine on Day as soon as the store opened. I hope I'm one of the first in line to get an upgrade, or I'm going to be pissed! :mad:

Why they insist on making it difficult for users is beyond me. I think there is a fee to suspend the line/account too so it really doesn't make a lot of sense to do that regularly. As soon as my Xoom gets upgraded, I'm selling it. I'll use my Galaxy Tab with wifi only and tether it to my phone.
