Verizon LTE Motorola XOOM Getting Update HLK75H; Not ICS Unfortunately
It seems that folks with the Verizon LTE version of the Motorola XOOM are being left out in the cold for a while, as far as an update to Android 4.0 is concerned. A new update, version HLK75H, is rolling out "soon" but it is only an incremental update with some bug fixes, and not full blown Ice Cream Sandwich. This update includes only a couple of things: support for dual International Mobile Subscriber Identities (IMSI), and a bugfix for restoring data connectivity after exiting Airplane Mode.
This seems a bit frustrating. We know that Ice Cream Sandwich will work on the device, since everyone with a WiFi version has been enjoying it for quite some time already. It seems that somehow Verizon and/or a combination of Verizon and Motorola are holding back the LTE version. Could it be a technical issue with the 4G LTE, or is it simply corporate bureaucracy at its finest? What do you guys think?

This is depressing! They need to stop wasting time on a useless update and work on getting Ice Cream Sandwich on my 4G Xoom!

A simple reply from Verizon and/or Motorola would go a long way toward calming the waters. At least there would be a whole lot less conjecture. As for me. I am content to wait but would sure like to know a schedule and reasons behind it. Would just hate to think someone is sitting on their hands with this..JMO

I've already moved on...
I've been enjoying ICS on MY Xoom 4G for several weeks now. The XDA EOS team has whipped up a nice, smooth, FAST & CREAMY ROM! I'm really happy with it. Only thing that could make this better is a Butter Pecan kernal! LOL!!!

Mine just performed OTA update... Now at HLK75H. I want ICS...! Would really like to know when it is coming out for Verizon 4G.

I'm also using EOS stingray build 55 to run ICS on the Xoom 4G and it handles nicely so far.
