Honeycomb 3.2 update rolling out.

Just got my update. Browser feels alot faster. Haven't tried the SD card yet though.

Wifi Zoom.

You're right the browser does feel alot quicker, pages are loading quicker and it feels more fluid when scrolling.

I'm still on the fence about zoom to fit screen as it distorts the quality but of course that's a given if you're using an app made for a smartphone, but I do like how its an option and not a standard.

I haven't tried the SD card slot as I don't have one but I'm going to pick one up after work. Does this mean rooting will be easier with SD enabled?

Anyone with the update check to make sure bluetooth tethering is still working???

You lost me here. People who have wifi only devices will tether to a 3G device to get internet where there ins't any wifi available. What do you tether to a wifi only device. This doesn't make any sense to me.


EDIT:

Just figured it out. You want to make sure the option is available to Bluetooth tether to another device. I found the bluetooth tether option in xoom menu you were talking about. I'm not on 3.2 though.

Just curious, has anyone gotten the update since the initial rollout? Like, you checked on Tuesday and didn't get it, but got it some time after that?

I'm never sure with Android updates if it's a gradual rollout or they just release it to a certain percentage of devices as a trial and then push it out to everyone else at once a few days later. I suspect that my relentless checking for updates is futile if I wasn't in the first batch.

updates are issues by ID. its a back office/Google thing. you can hit check all day and it wont matter if your ID is not on the batch list.

and you are pretty much on the right path.. Google roll out the update in stages.. if there are no ill issues, then they move it out further. same as with any update.

be patient. :)

OK, just got my update and the bluetooth tethering still works!

Another little change I noticed is when you activate the screen, it shows the name of the wireless network next to the wifi icon. That's a nice touch. Once you swipe to unlock, it goes away, but when you tap the corner, it shows it again in the notification/status box.

Haven't noticed anything else, but I've only had the thing for a week, so probably won't notice any of the subtle changes.
