[Acer Iconia A500] babyboy8100:
I started trying to get my hands on a Transformer but after Asus not being able to bring enough and days of trying to get one i finally gave up on it.

After days on reading and watching videos on the Acer Iconia the more i watched the more i like it and i decided that's what im gonna buy since it offers the most outta the box, I really didnt want the Keyboard dock on the TF so not having USB on the tablet became an issue for me the ips display is nice but its not like the A500 display is bad. at some point i kinda wanted to wait for the Samsung galaxy 10.1 but after seeing the white ones they gave out in Google IO yesterday it finally confirmed Acer A500 is the right tablet for me. i cant imagine not having Micro SD/SD card or a USB it seems Samsung mimics Apple too much that thing looked too much like an ipad 2 no ports only a proprietary port on the bottom.

so im going tomorrow to pick up my Acer ill root it and wait for 3.1
[Acer Iconia A500] bimbot:
nice quick explanation babyboy. you touched on main points and your simple arguments made complete sense.

I was finally able to order a TF and while I've been waiting, I've been in store playing with the Acer. Most of my observations have been on the surface and I just can't get over the camera location on the Acer.

After seeing the IO Sammy, I had the opposite reaction in terms of aesthetics because I'm one of those that do like the look of Apple products. Functionality-wise though, you hit the nail on the head. SD cards and USB are a must since I'm transitioning from an Ipad.
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
Few things:

Build: Not sure how the Acer's build is an issue, since it is more solid and not creaky like the Asus (still great device).

Camera: Cameras on tablets do not seem practical to me and invites mobile handling that may result in a dropped device.

Weight: I still find it funny that folks get up tight about the one ounce weight difference between them, but have no issue getting the keyboard, which adds more bulk and one pound more weight than the Acer. How does that make sense to people?

I prefer the build of the Acer and like the USB connectivity on the tablet, so expect it to weigh a little more. The new Toshiba is the same or slightly heavier.

The A500 is a very good tablet and most consumers posting at Best Buy and other places seem to agree.
[Acer Iconia A500] cdkizzle:
I caved and got the a500, and am very pleased. Weight is a non-issue for me, it just feels more solid. Quite happy about the USB slot, I read that in 3.1 you will even be able to connect a 360 controller to one of these! Can anyone say N64 emulation ;)

Besides from aesthetics, it's likely the Samsung 10.1s will be identical in specs. I may take this one back, but oh boy, HDMI and USB...big plus for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] habs101:
I'll be honest.

I dont own a Acer yet..

but i did own a Asus transformer which i returned.

People were telling me to keep it., but Asus has dropped the ball a bit on quality isssues.

Around the screen there is a black adhesive that holds it close to the bezel, and let me tell you

Someone drunk probably but the adhesive in place, it wasn't even straight, and made it looks out of place.

and not only that, around the adhesive there is a gab between the LCD and the adhesive and dust and crap was getting in there... others have reported the same issues.

I like the ICONIA that i saw at bestbuy because the screen was flush across the unit .. thumbs up!
[Acer Iconia A500] gidgiddonihah:
Yea, I saw, exept everyone I looked at had like two posts... But maybe I didn't see them. Sorry 'bout that!

I went back to play around with the Iconia some more and I love it. It just seems like the screen has nothing on the iPad/Asus (IPS) but I never got to really test the screen with a movie and it seems a bit heavier. I LOVE the USB port, and with 3.1...

Any word on Acer Support? I really have bad luck with devices and don't want to be stuck without help.

Thanks for all the posts and unless people have horror stories about their support I might order one on Amazon as I don't think they will charge me tax :D...

(Edit) They do charge tax... :( And since the tab doesn't look like a viable option for me, the Iconia looks like the best thing out there that is in a price range I can afford.
[Acer Iconia A500] netham45:
I got the Iconia after Asus refused to say anything about the Transformers expected release(Maybe I wasn't trolling their FB page enough?)

I like the camera, unlike some of the others here posted. My cell phone has an awful camera on it, and I generally have my Iconia with me, so it's nice to be able to pull it out and take a good quality snapshot or record a video.

I haven't noticed the issues with the GPS, but I haven't used it more than once, just to play with it.

So far, I've been using the USB port a lot, I got a mini usb keyboard I've been using for dosbox(Wolfenstein 3D!)

I haven't noticed any issues with the build quality; as far as I can tell, I could drop this thing down a flight of stairs and it'd be fine, though I think I'll leave that to someone else to test.

I had an issue with the wifi refusing to join ad-hoc networks(phone tethering), but that was easily fixed by rooting and replacing the problematic files.

My take on the Transformer (from reviews) is that it seems to be a good concept, but a poor implementation of it. It seems to be shoddy construction, like Asus wanted to get their foot in the door and rushed it too much. The software issues on it are driving me away too.

A dock seems rather worthless when you have a USB port, as soon as 3.1 comes out, that is.(USB mouse ftw!)

The galaxy looks blah to me, I don't think I want to have anything to do with it. I wasn't impressed with the older galaxys.
[Acer Iconia A500] gidgiddonihah:
Just looked at the Tab on cnet.com. They didn't say anything about microSD, and when they did a close up around the device it looks like it comes without. Their model didn't come with the new Samsung icky thing over honeycomb? Without even microSD, the tab is out. It looks really nice, but without any expansion ports or USB, its not for me. And from a few people in here the Asus is looking less and less appealing. Hmmmm...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] toddmp:
Any apps out there to txt message from the tablet? Preferably with my actual number (not sure how that would work though).
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] FrayAdjacent:
There was a guy on the Xoom subforum that made an app that uses Dropbox (iirc) to 'sync' text messages.

You could use Google Voice, but then all of the messages are sent from and to your GV number.

I hope someone comes up with a way to easily sync between an Android phone's SMS client and an application on a tablet, so you can use the tablet to easily interact with SMS and MMS messaging.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jratzo:
Yep, this is it https://market.android.com/details?id=com.d0lph1nk1ng.syncsms&feature=search_result

It works great, you can get to the xda thread via that link too

Now i am guessing you need a droid powered smart phone? Will my samung rogue be able to do this or does it just ue the phone number?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] toddmp:
it needs to be droid to droid.

works awesome.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] cowballz69:
Textfree is the best texting app out there that gives u a real texting number. U cannot find it in the app store *also* the newest version constantly crashes on the tablet. Here's a link to a working version of textfree

I haven't had any issues with it. I don't use it most of the time though cause my phone is usually on me.

[EVO 4G General] djlenoir:
Long story short... dropped my EVO and screen shattered. Received replacement today (brand new) and would love to just clone my existing phone to the new one. Wondering if that is possible.
[EVO 4G General] themate1987:
Well if you are thinking what i am thinking than you should: get clockwork file from sd card of your ex evo, flash cwm on your new evo and put backup file from your old evo to clockwork file of new evo and do nandroid restore.

I'm not sure if this would work so i recommended doing nandroid backup on new evo before doing this

One of my favorite sites has New Nexus One's for 269.99 US. I have bought many things from this site and have never had any problems. I bought one just because it was my first and favorite android phone.

[Nexus One General] FastMhz:
Is this the Tmo 3G or ATT 3g?
[Nexus One General] Sneeze1066:
If you click on the read more button it says this in the details...

"3G 2100/1700 (AWS)/900 (except for AT&T customers)"
[Nexus One General] Jayman007:
Att or Tmobile

I saw that in the details but not really sure what that means "except for AT&T customer". If I want to use this phone in Thailand am I going to have problem with the data network?

So is this the tmobile or att version? I'm thinking the att version is the one that would be more compatible with overseas networks.att
[Nexus One General] NardVa:
It's the T Mobile version.
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
damn, here I was all excited... I've had the T-Mobile N1 for over a year now ... I want my 3G :( (yes, I didn't notice the model ## when I bought it from some dude. my bad)
[Focus General] astaccz:
I recently tried out the demo rom in the developer threads and now my focus has a dummy windows live and i cannot add my own nor take it off. I was wondering if someone had a backup of their focus which zune made before updating, I can restore from that since I dont have one. If anyone of you have a backup please share because I really did it to my phone this time. Thanks
[Focus General] xuanphucn:
I don't think that u can restore from the backup of another phone:eek:
[Focus General] astaccz:
I figured so. Each phone has different identifiers or something. I basically have a blank until theres a retail rom smh.....
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Doesn't work (yet), see my post here. I am working on a way to force that.
[Focus General] astaccz:
Yeah I seen your post in the development thread. That sounds like alot to do and I would have no idea how to even go about it. However I was on some other forums and requested a samsung focus backup and an user uploaded a Samsung Focus backup fresh 7004. I tried to restore from it but i just gave up because I did not know how to go about doing it. I dont know if it is a fresh 7004 but I did check the Manifest xml and the os version was 7004 so I am guessing it is. I can give you the link to it maybe you can do something with it?

Also thanks for working on this. You will be helping guys like me out!!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] robitron929:
First let me say that I found this on accident, if you haven't read my other post "GPS SOLUTION FOUND" read it after this, but THIS BY FAR IS THE LARGEST STRIDE IN A GPS FIX FOR THE ACER TABLET.

MAPS STILL SEARCHING FOR SIGNAL, SOLVED, AND THE FIX IS STILL NOMADIC, SO REPEAT THIS EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO USE MAPS, THE SPEED IS WORTH UNTIL WE CAN FIND A WAY AROUND THIS

Instructions:

Required: file manager

1. Open file manager

2. Open "sdcard" folder

3. Open "Android" folder

4. Open "Data" folder

5. Delete "com.google.android.apps.maps"

6. start Navigation.

7. Not seeing best results, read below instructions

GPS SOLUTION FOUND, READ ABOVE BEFORE THIS***

For best results use both methods together. After using both on my ICONIA average GPS lock time under 60 seconds

Method 1.

NOT ROOTED

To clear GPS cache THIS ALWAYS HELPS<<<<<<<!!!!!!!!!

Instructions:

1. Download and install GPS Status & Toolbox from android market

2. Open the GPS Status & Toolbox

3. Press Menu -> Tools

4. Tap on Manage A-GPS state

5. Tap Reset

6. Tap Download

7. Enjoy faster GPS locking

Method 2.

ROOTED***

BUSYBOX REQUIRED

Required:

Root access

Fasterfix app from market

read all of this post so you don't screw yourself.

Instructions:

To speed up google maps nav: Install "Fasterfix" app from market, open app, accept super user permissions, pick region (!!!never change this) then test via google maps navigation. Should speed it up $hit load, just as fast as my incredible when it was new. Hope this helps

Honestly until android comes up with a fix for the maps app I'm going to use WASE GPS found in market you MIGHT get a search for SIGNAL, BUT MUCH FASTER GPS.

FYI!!!!!!!! DONT REPICK REGION IN FASTERFIX APPLICATION!!!!! or you will have to do this:

It appears I was having some issues cingularly in the davlik cache because I changed my region in fasterfix because I figured what the fnck, and that screwed up my speed so when you pick your region stick with it or you will slow the crap out of navigation plus to fix it you will have unistall fasterfix, delete" data@app-private@com.Double.FasterFix-1.apk@classes.dex[/email]" under davik-cache, reinstall pick region, test via navigation.

Info:

Sorry about last post: you will only need to open Fasterfix app once.

Misc:

It appears that fastfix is server based location finder, what ever that means
[Acer Iconia A500] atomicwedgie:
Hmmmmm... even on my totally stock a500, not doing anything but opening the app, inside my house on an overcast day it only took Copilot 1:27 to lock on.

It takes my Galaxy Tab much longer even outside.

Maybe I got lucky with a good GPS.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
great gps

i too have no issues with the gps only google nav for some reason takes forever even after it shows the gps icon.soild as/fixed.

the gps status/and tool box broke my.gps.had to uninstall it uninstall and reinstall co-pilot this was after using it.

the/fast fix i think does give you faster fix at the time of day you run it .I think it remembers the says in view
[Acer Iconia A500] groaner:
mine takes forever to lock on.

I tried the fasterfix on my rooted A500 and I did not notice any difference. I was in the car. looking at GPS Tools I saw ti could see 3 satellites, then 5 but would not connect.

I'll try again at some point.

My Atrix locks on FAST.

I had a Samsung Galaxy S that would not lock on either.

I hope the first update comes with a GPS fix.

Thsi isn't a deal breaker for me but more of an annoyance. I dont expect to use this in the car for GPS much if ever, but I just don't like having something that is intended to work, not work.
[Acer Iconia A500] robitron929:
Well I recommended this way because maps app will lag even when you have a lock that why I use faster fix in conjunction with each other. If you have little satellites in view make sure your outside. Make sure busybox is installed and your rooted when using fasterfix and please follow
[Acer Iconia A500] deathbysnoosnoo:
I noticed a setting in the system DB (/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db) for "agps" (apgs = 1). I discovered this when attempting to apply the change for the cell standby issue. I wonder if this was set to off if GPS would work more consistently. Reboot after the change.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3AstLyBLitZ:
hi guys wondering did trip include jit to his rom 1.0.63. Just wondering because i got very low benchmarking results when i ran the app QUADRANT:(

By the way I just installed the custom kernal straight after i flashed my baseband to .52 so it might be the problem to the low benchmarking results. I dont know??

Apart from that the custom kernal is soo awesome, it feels fast like the iphone and i highly recommend it to those who hasnt tried it and dont want to risk it but ive had no problems with it, the signal works, wifi EVERYTHING.:D

Anyway please reply if I'm wrong with the Jit and if it is already included, then maybe its just something im doing to make such low benchmarking results.

Sorry my mistake, the low benchmark results were only on the first go. I tried couple more times and yeah its all good. So I guess the threads closed now.

p.s if you really want to know the first benchmark results they were just above 1000 which with the custom kernal i expected around 1350 which i got on the second and third go.

:D Cannot believe the speed of the custom kernal. Its like magic:D

Hey,

I usually post in the Nexus S forum, where I review cases (done quite a few now) - I picked up a tab last week and was just wondering if anyone would be interested in me posting reviews here as well. I usually allow people to suggest cases as well!

Not sure why you need an emulator to install a kernel.

Terminal emulators on the phone are painful anyways except for quick fixes. Save yourself some headaches and use ssh http://www.appbrain.com/app/sshdroid/berserker.android.apps.sshdroid. If you never heard of or used ssh before, google some linux tutorials on ssh and download some ssh client app like putty or xshell to connect.
