Motorola Xoom finally getting its 4G LTE upgrade starting Sept. 29

http://www.androidcentral.com/motorola-xoom-finally-getting-its-4g-lte-upgrade-starting-sept-29
So I come across this article today and now I am beyond pissed off.
I have waited patently for over 6months for my Xoom to be updated to 4g as stated when I bought it. I have watched another manufacturer release a 4g tablet and said no biggie anytime. Now i find out Motorola will be selling a 4g tablet in the next 2 weeks and they have yet to make good on the advertised 4g on the Xoom.

Really? It says right in the URL that the upgrade is starting on the 29th.

If the new Xoom goes on sale on this date that means they have been producing them to distribute instead of taking care of current customers first. How long will it take for them to upgrade all our units.

LTE Upgrade Package confirmation
Motorola of CTDI sent _________ 1 FedEx Standard Overnight package(s).
This shipment is scheduled to be sent on 09/29/2011.
I went to Verizon's site and entered my MEID and personal info.

I am trying to enter my info but after it asks me for my address it tells me it cannot complete. Very frustrating.

I'm filling out the stuff for mine right now, it says I get a free standard dock "while supplies last"
Sad that I have the speaker dock..oh wells a little peace offering it seems like

just completed the form...had not received the official email from motorola yet however. Don't have an address I can use for signed deliveries however. May have to take a day off

I noticed the dock as well. I guess I have one for the office now... Happy about the update finally happeneing, but alittle upset it took so long.... either way, This should breath new life into my tablet. Let's see if Ice cream does the same in a few months.

R U guys rooted if so what you guys did to unroot or what you guys removed to send it back..?? Will they upgrade it if I send it rooted with TIAMAT..??

Of course I go to the signup page and put in my info and what happens? I get a message saying it can't connect and to try back later. This is so annoying.

It's about time. I'm more than a little upset that it took this long but we'll see what happens. It's funny, I had just filed FTC complaints and Better Business Bureau complaints a week ago. I had fun filling out the BBB form. If it goes up the chain at Motor, they will be laughing at my list of suggested remedies for a long time.

I unrooted and will wipe everything before sending the device in. I've waited a long time for this and the last thing I want is it screwed up because of a custom ROM. I read some said they were going to leave it rooted and lock it. I think this is stupid for the time it takes to unroot and reroot, just return it to stock. Who wants the send in the device wait three days only to have it sent back without the update because you thought you would be the cool guy and lock your rooted voided warranty Xoom.

I think they just factory flash it. It won't matter if it's rooted. When they hook it up they use a different cable to activate a section in the memory that can be flashed in one step. Sort of like flashing multiple hard drives for pc's. They actually thought about it at moto! It won't matter if you encrypt it, root it, or load the wrong firmware. It will come back with stock 3.2.2 and locked! Already spoke with a friend at moto about it. They just want to make sure we hide our files from prying eyes. They can't just throw a 4g card in and send it back, because it has to be bench tested to show it is working b4 they ship it back out. Trust me that cable is well worth the money too! Even if you brick your xoom, you can flash it back to stock in one click. But you have to have the file and the software moto use with that cable.

I filled in my RMA request, then immediately got a FedEx email telling me my shipping box tracking number. But in true Motorola fashion, the box still hasn't actually shipped yet...

same here...

Mine and my wife's boxes are out for delivery. Now if I send them out today when do we get em back?

Double check ur numbers. I left out a zero and mine did that.

My box arrived and before I could detain the fed-ex guy for 1 minute to package it he bolted. So I'll head to fed-ex shortly I guess.

return or not?

well, i bought 16gb n7 and they delivered n7 with transformer rom installed, im thinking this must be other customer's n7 returned product, anyway, i emailed them asking for a replacement, just got an email an hr ago showing the instruction, with the return shipping to service center, they didnt say they going to cover for the cost of shipping or that's must come out of our pocket.
last week i tried to installed stock n7 rom on this and it works great again without any problem
so should i return this and waiting for the next n7 which maybe have problems?

You're saying you received a 16GB N7 from the Google Play Store with a modified ROM on it?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

if after installing the normal n7 software it works fine, I would keep it. If there are problems then I would return it
good luck

So did you take a system dump of the transformer ROM? What version was it?

Yes, the transformer rom preibstalled on it, i didnt take a system dump yet, i got the pic of solfware version but,

i was just trying to get back stock asap so yeah, because the rom isnt stable, it restart constantly! anyway, >"< what if they shipped the replacement?
i must return or else they ll charge my account... jez

You ordered a new device and received someones return? That just goes to show you how little they are paying attention to the details while they try to push as many of these things out as possible due to all these pre-orders. Another reason why I feel the need to wait it out for a few more months and see how things are then.
Was the package sealed like new?
I'd honestly return it just because, obviously it had a problem for someone to return it, fixed or not you basically received a "refurb" instead of a brand-new unit. That's grounds for a serious discount.

What makes you so sure it had a non standard ROM?

It might not necessarily be a customers returned unit. If it was just a blank Transformer rom it could be a mess up in the production process. Rememeber Asus make both devices so they will have all those roms floating about. I had a strange rom on my Galaxy Nexus when I bought it but it was defo a new device. It might just be a mistake when they initialy built it.
But if you flashed the N7 rom with no problems and the unit is ok I would just keep it. Opening up a whole set of new potential problems if you swap it..

[Q] Please Help! Phone Overheated and now unresponsive!!

A week ago, I traded my like new One X for a like new Nexus 4. It seemed flawless when I got it. It was rooted when I got it, and I put Paranoid Android on it when I got home. A couple days later, I decided to try a couple different kernels so I could adjust the RGB and gamma. I installed Franco kernel, and his kernel management software. I adjusted my screen, and also turned on fast USB charging. That night, I woke up in the middle of the night to find the phone extremely hot. It was plugged into a standard wall charger. The touchscreen was also completely unresponsive in the os, but was responsive in the bootloader and in TWRP. I quickly reflashed to the stock kernel and let the phone cool down. It became responsive again after cooling down. I figured it was an overheat protection thing, so then yesterday I tried another kernel on it but did not turn on fast usb charging, figuring that that was the culprit. The phone charged fine during the day yesterday, and all seemed well. Well this morning, I woke up to an unresponsive hot phone with the battery only at 70 something after charging all night. This time, the phone was also unresponsive in TWRP as well. The only thing I was able to do was hard reboot. I cant even power the phone down by selecting power off in the bootloader- it just reboots. I have completely wiped the phone, and reflashed and the issue still persists, My wife is pissed at me cuz she hates it when I get new phones, and now this phone is consuming more of my time and she says I was stupid for trading my perfectly good one x for this phone. I don't know what to do, as this is obviously not a software issue. I'm going to try to give as much info as possible, as I'm really pissed off right now and I want to make sure I give as many details as anyone needs.
(list borrowed from another help post)
* yes my phone is rooted
* no I haven't dropped it ever
* no I haven't exposed it to water or anything else that is abnormal ever
* yes I flashed a custom ROM.... cm10.1 and PA, both from Goo
* yes the MD5 matched
*yes I flashed a custom Kernel (last night) ......... Franco Kernel and
* no I didn't have any issues afterwards, just after it was charging and overheated.
* the phone worked fine with the os until the overheat
* yes I fully wiped prior to flashing
* yes I am completely sure I didn't drop the phone and/or expose it to anything specific
* yes I have a seidio surface case and zagg shields front and back on the phone.
Is my warranty voided now that my bootloader is unlocked? If I return to stock and return it, can they find out and not honor my warranty? My wife will KILL me if they keep my $300 for any reason!!

Its working again now, after sitting unresponsive in TWRP I rebooted it so I could save some files as I planned to unroot. Im sure this will happen again. What should I do? Call Google? And pretend its still having the problem?

I would flash the stock image first and see if the problem persists.
I also don't think Google will be able to help you since you aren't the original owner of the phone.

So the warranty is void when you sell a phone? Because it's back to being unresponsive again.

If i were you, i would return it completely to stock and re-lock the bootloader using one of the toolkits and send it back to Google, sounds like its defective. I don't think Google will screw you around on the warranty just because you weren't the original owner.

I am frantically emailing and texting him as we speak. This was a craigslist deal, so who knows if he will help me. He did mention the warranty when we did the swap, so I hope he does.

It has happened with the factory LG charger, and a Blackberry charger as well. I know that sometimes chargers don't work with another phone, but that's rare from all my years in wireless. And that's all that would happen, is that it wouldn't work.
As of right now, it's working. But that's just right now. I can't rely on this device, and as much as I like it, I'm missing my One X right now. I traded a perfect phone, for THIS. My wife is still angry at me. Every time I get a new phone she complains that I have to spend time doing everything with it. I swore up and down that this Nexus was it for a while. Now THIS.

And of course, it's back to not working again. Any ideas on a cause or if this if fixable in someway on my own? Digitizer replacement or something?? Any recourse if I can't get the info Google wants? And does anyone know how quickly I can expect to see an RMA device if I am successful, or if there is a paid expedited shipping option or something? Ugh sorry to ask so many questions but I'm just so upset over this.

I think the RMA turnover is roughly a week. If you manage to get the email for the warranty, you have to pay the shipping 1 way afaik. Worst case scenario you have to pay to get it fixed Good luck man.

During one of the brief moments the screen worked, I had the foresight to pair my bluetooth mouse to the phone. It allows me to navigate the phone even when the digitizer isn't working, but its extremely stupid to have to do. The kid I traded with still has yet to respond to my numerous texts. I really hope he isn't gonna screw me. I just don't know what to think anymore.

actually you might be able to get warranty service still.
you will need to find out if it was purchased from the play store. if it was, you need the email address it was purchased with. google can then transfer the warranty to you and get you service.
i went through this just yesterday. i bought the phone from someone who bought it from the play store. i called google for an exchange, they asked for this info and then emailed me with a request for serial number, address, name.. etc.
IF you can't get the gmail address of the original buyer - google can process it as a gift which means they don't need the email address but it MUST have been purchased through the play store. otherwise they won't help.
again - i just called google yesterday and this is what they told me.
i know how you feel man. i sold my perfectly good galaxy note 2 for this phone that randomly shuts off. mind you this was back in january and the random shut off thing has just been recently.
anyhow, google will help you as long as you have the info they need. good luck.

I hope you're right, but the third sentence in the warranty contradicts that, and says:

If anything, once I get this non-responding, possible scammer/jerk to give me the info, maybe at the least I could pretend it was given to me as a gift. Every hour that goes by, makes me angrier and angrier that I had a PERFECT HTC One X, and I couldn't just be satisifed with that. I just HAD to roll the dice AGAIN. It seemed like a fair trade, unless he knew it had issues. But if that is the case, why would he go through the trouble of trading/scamming someone and having them know his address and phone number when he could have easily gotten Google to replace it himself?

Well Seraldo, so far so good. I called again and didn't mention my first call. I said that the device was a gift and I didn't know the email address. He asked me for the IMEI instead, and it's worth noting that the previous rep did not ask for anything else. He saw an opportunity to close the door on helping me, and took it. The helpful rep also sent this email to summarize our conversation:
Hi David,
Thank you for contacting Google. I do understand how not being able to get your device to respond can be very frustrating.However, I will be more than happy in assisting you with this issue.
As promised over the phone, I have consulted this case up to a specialist. We will look over this case as thoroughly as possible to get this resolved as quickly as possible. Also as promised, I am going to be keeping you updated with ever new information.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please respond directly back to this email.
Best Regards,
James
The Google Play Team
I will keep you guys posted on how this develops. I do want to ask tho, are we 100% sure that they wont be able to tell my phone was unlocked/rooted/unrooted/relocked? Cause if they suck $300+ out of our account saying the warranty is void, that night you all will be watching the news and there will be a story about a guy in Rhode Island getting castrated by his wife. And no... I'm not joking. On a lighter note, I do have to say that the hold time for calling Google support was almost nonexistent. Very pleased with that =)

Whenever you make a deal on craigslist, you had better count on never seeing/hearing from the other party once the money/items have traded hands. It's common sense.
I also for the life of me cannot figure out why men these days get together with a female only to let them become the boss of everything, and show fear of them.. even in public. From reading this thread top to bottom, it seems as though you're getting angry at things you cannot control.
I'd start with your relationship, then work on the phone.

Agreed. This wasn't my first rodeo, and I'm well aware of what goes down with CL deals. The only reason I even bothered is because the existence of the warranty was discussed by him and I as part of the sale, and also the fact that what I required from him to take advantage of the warranty was merely a two second text message containing his email address. He would literally only have to lift a finger (or two) for a second to enable me to have use of the warranty that the owner of the phone is entitled to. I gave him a perfect device, and had something gone wrong with the One X I would have gladly done the same for him.

Well, Mr. Rockefeller, I'm not sure of your financial situation, but money is pretty tight over here. I have a wife and a child to feed/clothe/house, and losing 300-some-odd dollars on a phone would be devastating to our finances and my wife would be well within her rights to be upset about it. However, the castration comment, and subsequent 'deadpan' statement about me not being kidding, was in fact, a joke. I'm sorry you couldn't see through to that.

Angry at the guy for not sending me a two second text? Yes. About the rest of the situation? No. More sad and disappointed. I was really venting my frustration on the entire situation, and reaching out for productive suggestions for the matter at hand, which you have provided none of. I have also read this thread top to bottom, and I fail to see where you showed me your PhD and I requested relationship/life advice from you. Maybe I missed something? Kindly troll another thread, and maybe come back if/when you have something useful to offer =)

At least one blog says the sale is only for one hour. If so, the invite system would seem to be intact.

That's right, the preorder will just accompany the invite system. Means, if you get an invite, you can "jump the queue" of preorders and get your One directly.

It will be a ddos on request...
That site will go down, taking in hardly any pre-orders.
Enough with the hyping, start selling the device already.

The don't have the cash flow or capital of some other companies. If they produce too many phones and they don't sell, then they are gone. The way they do it at the moment means their inventory comes straight off the production line and out the door, it's a much safer bet for a new business. What concerns me though is how they intend to grow the business on such thin margins.
Mmm bacon

Does anyone know if this site is selling the international version (just in case I wasn't able to pre-order for a reason or another)?

Does anyone know if this site is selling the international version (just in case I wasn't able to pre-order for a reason or another)?

I'm pretty sure this is the International (CyanogenMod) version. The chinese version comes with ColorOS.

It may be chineese version but CM11S installed. International version is available only on the official OnePlus site.

I can't wait to witness the aftermath of the "1 hour preorder" disaster. This forum is going to be FLOODDED with people who weren't able to get their order completed due to the OnePlus site being overwhelmed and crashing. There will also be others *****ing because their payment couldn't be processed due to lack of funds (and somehow blame OnePlus for this...).
It's going to be entertaining.

EXACTLY... I just sold my spare in-box OPO, and I think I'm selling my daily driver and pre-ordering a 64GB N6.

Internet tears will flow stronger than the Amazon river in the days after the OPO pre-order. The stories will be so sad it'll be funny! I guarantee you that they have a fixed number available for immediate order and as soon as they sell those within the first 5 minutes the system will just claim that the servers are overloaded and to keep trying.

So, I should probably wait until the 27 to sell my extra OPO in order to get the best price if all this is going to do is cause chaos

Just a quick question of opinion..
Do you guys think I should skip the preorder the 27:th and wait for an invite instead?
My concern is that I might wind up in the bottom of the pile of all the orders that'll be placed and I heard that invites will have a higher priority.
Thanks!

Get set up for the pre-order online as its worth a shot and try your best to get an invite as you'll still be able to use it.

Due to the technical difficulties with the first pre-order session, OnePlus is giving their customers another crack at it:
Besides deciding that an apology was in order, OnePlus has decided to give consumers a second chance to pre-order its flagship phone. So on November 17th, starting at 10am EST, another OnePlus One pre-order period will begin.

If you are attending the event...

I would say this thread is a some-what continuation of the attendance thread located: here
**What is our device**
Our device in the US is the: ZE551ML as indicated on the ASUS website.
If you are attending the event tomorrow, please be sure to ask many questions.
It seems like clemsyn contacted ASUS support and ASUS support said our bootloader is LOCKED!
One question that we have to ask is when will we be expecting a bootloader unlock tool? As you know, we can't do much with a locked bootloader. It won't be possible to flash custom ROMS without an unlocked bootloader, so please be sure to ask that! I'll be attending the event, but the more people that ask the more ASUS knows that we want to support this device on this forum.
What is there to do once we receive the unlocked bootloader?
1) Obtain Pre-Root (Already achieved and can be located here)
2) Compile CWM/TWRP Recovery (Not sure, I've never tinkered with recoveries)
** The Lenovo K900 uses an Intel processor and Recovery has been compiled on their forum on XDA**
Maybe we can use their GITHUB as an example: https://github.com/lenovo-k900 & https://github.com/xxx-man?tab=repositories
3) ROMS
Once we receive the unlocked bootloader and somebody compiles the custom recovery needed, it should be smooth from there!
I've developed lightly versions of stock ROMs in the past which is great for performance and battery life and have ported themes over from one device to another device.
I used to be an recognized contributor when I used to develop all the time for devices that I've had, I've been invited to the event tomorrow personally by ASUS and look forward to seeing the device and getting it in my hands!

Noble Series is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 5.0 (L), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
And..... I do look forward to bringing my "Noble Series" to the Zenfone 2 in the near future once we have the recovery compiled for our device!​

I'll figure it out and see tomorrow when I attend the event.
I'm going to come back with as much information as possible, I'm already speaking to a developer and asking him to help us port a custom recovery.
Baby steps, baby steps

I'm here, hi!

NA got the 64GB 4GB Z00A which is the ZE551ML model.
Oh yeah and... bootloader is locked but in the near future they will be looking to unlock it..

I spoke to one of the Asus guys at the event. The bootloader is currently locked but he told me they were working with Intel to get a bootloader unlock. Apparently it's in Intel's court

I spoke to somebody as well and heard the same thing.
It'll probably be x weeks-x months to see if we receive a tool which sucks, I wanted to develop some cool things

I know.. it's such a nice device. Much nicer than I imagined. I asked for a red one and they gave me one hehe
I know Dees Troy has one coming to him but until we get the bootloader unlocked we are down the creek without a paddle (I know the expression is up the creek without a paddle but always thought this was wrong..if you're up the creek water flows down so it would be easy..if you were down the creek trying to go upstream without a paddle then I think that's worse so I say down instead of up)
The ASUS guy did say they know it's important to get it unlocked. He told me to email him to check on the status. He actually came up to me to talk to me because I was wearing my xda shirt

Hey, I was the dude who walked up to you and asked you if you are developing for this phone! Haha, I hope we could get the Bootloader unlocked soon! I'll be checking in every other week or so with an ASUS employee that I know. I will make sure our bootloader will be unlocked!

I think it's cool they gave it to us with a active sim to use right away. I think it's good for like 10 days or so (my friend checked his)

This phone is incredibly fast.. I'm shocked how fluid everything is. Scrolling in Chrome or even through Tapatalk is buttery smooth. Usually one of the first things I do on a phone is go into developer options and set animations to .5, I don't feel I need to do that on that device. It just flies
