Help Did 3.2 mess up your Xoom?

Hey there!
Has anybody else noticed their Xooms running strange after the Honeycomb 3.2 upgrade?

Mine has become terribly sluggish, file manager apps no longer open files, and there's an overall feel that something isn't healthy with the system.

But the MicroSD card works now, at last. ;P
 
Something must have gone wrong with mine.
I tried shutting it down, restarting, shaking it while praising the IT gods... nothing worked.
So I backed up my stuff, did a factory reset, re-installed my apps and everything is working as it should once again. Yay!


...scratch that, the problem just came back.
Gonna be contacting Motorola tomorrow. :\

Yes...I have an issue that is extremely frustrating. I can't get the browser to open - unless I open the app.

For example, if I am reading an email that has a link in it; I click on the link and the screen dims (almost a grey) but no browser opens.

There are other slight problems but this one is really bugging me. I have cleared cache, rebooted, etc.

^ OK...a little investigating in other forums and I found the issue - or at least the workaround. My problem has to do with the intent.chooser. When you click on a link, a dialog box should come up and ask how you want to complete the action (Opera, Dolphin or Browser). The screen greys out like it used to when that box appears but no box appears.

Solved this by uninstalling all other browsers and only using the stock browser. Easy enough for me because I only use the stock browser anyway.

It's also like that with opening video files. I wanted to watch a movie I put on my xoom and behold, the black screen. Flipping orientation does seem to work but IT SHOULD NOT BE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
