[Acer Iconia A500] deedub334:
There have been some threads posted on the impending update of the A500 to Honeycomb 3.1 from various sources, but Acer itself just posted this on its Facebook Page:

Acer

Great news for the lucky owners of Acer Iconia Tab A500! The update to Android 3.1 will be available at the end of June! Stay tuned for the date of release, in the meantime see the new features in the official Android developers’ blog:
[Acer Iconia A500] thiazzi:
Great news. I only wish the update would come sooner!

They sure are getting a lot of hateful comments on there, sheesh. Facebook comments are the new Youtube comments, I guess.
[Acer Iconia A500] ShinjoSan:
At least we know they mean to keep up with everyone with updates.
[Acer Iconia A500] hlaalu:
yeah we've know about a june update since the device came out.
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
If the sleep mode issue is not fixed for another month and a half, it will hurt sales and accumulate a lot of returns.

Ace has a huge opportunity to gain tablet share and are mucking it up by not fixing the issue now. The recent 23mb update some have been getting apparently does not fix the issue.

The A500 is a sleep mode fix away from awesome, but needs to fix it to get there. Well, that and the unstable wifi in low signal areas.
[Acer Iconia A500] deedub334:
I am aware people have reported the sleep and Wi-Fi issues, but not all of the Acer A500 tablets are experiencing these problems. I know because I own an A500 and it doesn't have these sleep/Wi-Fi problems at all.
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
Have posted many times this is the best tablet for features and function and IMO better than the Trans and even stated I would get a third when the issue is fixed. First one, the main issue was unstable wifi with minimum wake-up issues and the second one was polar opposite of that.

Problem is "End of June" is long time to wait. My gTablet strains the eyes now, in comparison.

Where did you read it? Could you post the link?

[Acer Iconia A500] bahurd:
Honeycomb or Acer implementation?

Maybe not the right thread but...

I haven't had the screen issues (waking up) but I am a little confused on the battery usage looking for a cell connection.

Is it a Honeycomb 3.0.1 issue or the implementation of the OS by Acer that is the issue? Seems to me a major foopah that anyone would release a product, clearly using a battery as it's source of power, and have a part of the system being wasted looking for a cell signal that wouldn't matter even if it was available.

On my unit, it says 7% of the battery use is consumed by the Cell Standby. Do the units actually have a cell radio??

Does anyone know if 3.1 will have a function to turn it off? Having to root, then rename system files especially without the means to recover doesn't strike me as a viable way to reduce battery consumtion.

Just my thoughts...
[Acer Iconia A500] peterasimpson:
I swapped my and it worked great

Hey, I had a WiFi problem, it kept dropping out if the signal was about 50%. I took my A500 back to PC World 3 days after I purchased it and PC World replaced it. Ever since then I have not had any problems with the WiFi dropping out or any other problems.
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
The more the reports come in the more it seems to make sense that some "bad" units are out there. May be earlier firmware batches or just something bad on the IC board, but if a general firmware issue, a ton more folks would be having wifi and sleep issues.

Seems more a batch production/firmware issue, but WTH do I know (nothin')?
[Acer Iconia A500] panda.bear:
I'll take this moment to reiterate my my faith in Acer for providing future updates (a company highlighted as a close partner with Google at their recent I/O conference) and also my prediction that with the better USB host support in 3.1 the A500 is going to be much more attractive.
[Acer Iconia A500] Lorimere:
Hey, Rush. Did you try turning off you GPS on your last tab? Mine still wakes once and a while, but notice I have had a lot less issues with GPS off.

By the way it was your earlier reviews that made me buy the a500 instead of waiting for the TF. Thanks, because I love this thing. Never thought about how handy having USB host on the tablet would be. No way I could go back to a tablet with out that function.
[Acer Iconia A500] karlkarloff:
Just throwing my 2 cents in...I snagged an Acer the other day, and I have to say its by far the best tablet I've played with. I haven't had any issues with WiFi or sleep really, although I have noticed the screen coming on randomly a few times in the week I've had it. Nothing that really seems unforgivable given everything else that rocks about this thing. I gotta admit, my previous tablet before this one was a Gtablet, and I do love it but the Iconia is better in just about every way. The HDMI out was not a big factor on my decision to buy it, but Angry Birds on my 46" screen is pretty awesome to watch. Anyway, I totally recommend this tablet to anyone in the market to buy, it blows away the Xoom and is way cheaper to boot.

I have a downloaded a rom but the of it is -1.zip and I wanted to know if changing it to pyromod.zip will affect it anyway?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Only if you ever want/need to flash it from Hboot (then it needs to be named PC10IMG.zip). If you flash it from recovery, it shouldn't matter what its named.
[General Questions and Answers] ngwww:
Does the asus transformer support using an external dvd drive? I tried connecting my external dvd drive to my transformer to watch a movie on disc but not sure where to go or what to do next.
[General Questions and Answers] ZaelFaroe:
Dead topic revival, but wanted to give the OP some information.

The asus transformer does not support dvd drives out of the box. Two things need to occur before we can watch dvd's on our transformers. The first is a custom kernel with drivers for external dvd drives and the correct file system support (this may actually already be built-in, but I haven't tested to find out). The second is a method to decrypt css on dvds.

Linux has a library that can do this written in either c or c++. In theory this can be ported to the Android eco system. There are existing questions about the legality of the library commonly used on linux for this decryption. In some countries it is definitely legal, in others, the courts have not tested its legality. I would also be willing to bet that a few companies (like the one behind powerDVD) will create dvd software with completely legal decryption in the hopes that Android users with 3.1+ will buy their software for dvd playback.

It is very possible that we will be able to get dvd playback at some point, but it probably won't happen for at least another few months. Best bet for now is probably linux (either chroot if that has access to usb, or dual boot).
[General Questions and Answers] bmw325e:
External BluRay would be great
[General Questions and Answers] AdLentis:
Device recognised, no filesystem mounted

If anyone (like me) found this topic by searching the web: My LG DVD drive is recognised on my Transformer. I can see it listed as Usbdisk1 under Storage in Settings. Mounting doesn't work however, so I suppose the biggest issue here is the filesystem (either CDFS or UDF). The drives LED flashes a few times when I try to mount it.
[General Questions and Answers] swmcdonnell:
I copied my DVD movies to an external hard drive, connected the drive to the Transformer through the USB port on the keyboard dock and it worked perfectly without a problem.

I hav the same problem... Can u help me..?
[Desire HD General] Daz555:
I was planning to return by FOURTH faulty DHD today when I was told at Carphone Warehouse that it could take 6 to 10 weeks for my phone to be repaired.

What a shambles HTC. You should be ashamed.

This seems to confirm the problems:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/18/htc_failed_support/
[Desire HD General] CodeNameUnknown1:
Yeah, i've heard that HTC sometimes make bad phone, some mistakes during manufacturing (but every company does, my DELL laptop is brand new, and the pixels on the screens go all wierd if i dont have the AC adapter plugged in).

But this is your 4th time!!!!, that bad luck man, im so sorry!!!

You should honestly send a message to HTC and tell them that its your 4th phone. i dont think HTC reads these fourms! :D
[Desire HD General] Daz555:
Well I got my phone back after 3 weeks so pleasantly surprised! Well done HTC.....or so I think.

Nice box with "I'm BACK" written big across it. Open it up, turn it on.........NO BATTERY. They forgot to ship back my battery - even though their own ticklist has BATTERY written very clearly on it and it was ticked! :mad:

No worries "quick call to HTC will sort this out" I thought.

I called. They said they call me back. They didn't. Called again, finally spoke to a senior staff member..........he tells me HTC are having supply problems at the moment in their repair centres and it will take two more weeks for them to ship a battery. Two weeks for a battery! :mad:

This will now extend the period that I've been without a working phone (since I bought my DHD before Christmas) to nine weeks - assuming the battery arrives at all of course. Utterly pathetic showing from HTC.

Oh they also said they look into offering me a compensatory gift. Said they'd call back.....guess what?
[Desire HD General] iphonoid:
I've been waiting two months + for htc to send me just a replacement antenna cover!
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
if you returned it via carphone warehouse, your contract for repair is with them not HTC, complain to carphone warehouse. The phone has not been returned fit for use thus you are entitled to reject the repair and demand your money back, hit them up with a request for some kind of compensation as well.
[Desire HD General] vious21:
A simsilar thing happened when I bought mine (well, not four times anyway). It was the third week of March and the battery cover just wouldn't open. I reported it to them and they had it replaced by evening, plus a free media link adapter for the extra wait.

How bout you give them this story and see what they think about it.
[Desire HD General] Daz555:
I returned direct to HTC because the service they offered direct to the customer seemed better that I would have from CPW - who would send the phone to HTC regardless.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doll00:
hi,

I'm trying to solve two problems in my SGS working on 2.3.3 JVH, perhaps somebody can help me:

1. I want to add to my room integrated Android SIP client, but I can't find any which is working well. I tried this one from post 26 but it blocked my phone:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13401355&highlight=sip#post13401355

Does somebody have SIP client to this software version and can instruct how to install so that it can work properly ?

2. I would like to make video calls to person using Skype on his PC, but as Skype on Android doesn't support video calls can somebody advise me how to set connection or which application use to allow both sides see each other ?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
Google video chat works with gmail. You need a hack to make it work however.

For the integrated SIP client you need two things:

a permission file

(optional)modify framework-res.apk in order to be able to make SIP calls over cellular network

1st one is very easy, just take a look into this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12818807&postcount=2
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doll00:
Thanks for this advice.

I had done the same before but it didn't work.

Today I added the small file to permissions once again and it works :)

There is one more question now.

I thought, activating this function I would be able to call all the numbers from my contacts, but I see there is only possibility to call numbers which are specified in contacts at field "internet calls".

Is there any possibility to make SIP connection with other numbers which are saved in contacts or with numbers choosing from keyboard ? (e.g. others SIP applications like SIPdroid, CSipSimple have this functionality)

Yes, but I looking for something what allow me to make video calls with Skype.

By the way, Skype on iPhone has already this functionality :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
Then ask Microsoft to release a real Skype for Android.

You can set the SIP caller to ask before making calls if you want to use your cell network or the internet.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] sh125:
hey guys,

is there any way to run n64iod on our x8?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] wujekandrzej:
yeah, open your x8 and switch defalut cpu with armv7 cpu :p

afaik it only runs on armv7 devices, so currently there's no way to run this. however, the dev has said that maybe in the future armv6 devices will be supported. maybe when puts it again on the android market (he took it off because of bugs) it will support armv6, let's hope for it :)

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgregersen:
Hi everyone.

I just upgraded my xoom to rooted 3.1 using the guide in this forum.

After the upgrade my home network does not get picked up. I cant even see it in wifiscanner.

My phone connects to it just fine, and the network at work is detected by the xoom no problem..

Any ideas? :-)

I already tried to flash the overclock kernel to see if it was a kernel issue... still the same problem. :/
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgregersen:
nevermind :-)

Turns out that 3.1 does NOT support wifi on channel 13.

Moved my home network to channel 11 and everything works again :-)

Note:

Windows 7, Android 2.1, Android 2.2

They all mysteriously support ch13 networks.

Can anyone confirm this?

If so; maybe someone should inform the kernel guys :-)

[Acer Iconia A500] Turbo Brian:
what is the purpose of the row of icons on the "homescreen", multimedia, social, games, etc. it seems to simply load an app that shows app shortcuts with a dumb wallpaper. aside from breaking the standard app drawer into categories, i see no purpose.

and why are there 3 apps for viewing media on this thing? id love to remove some of this bloat but based on some responses in the dev forum, it seems if any stock app/stub app is removed, the system updates dont work. grr. maybe freezing with titanium is the answer so they arent really removed, just hidden...

[General Topics] vbetts:
Smart phones have kind of always gone back and fourth. Iphone came out with and still has the 3.5" screen, the Pre has I believe either a 3" or 3.1" screen, the Galaxy Spica and Moment both have 3.2" screens also like the Dream and the Magic, the droid is 3.5", 3.7" I think? The Evo is 4.3", and the Galaxy S is 4". My touch 4g is 3.8" also. I don't think the screen size will really go up, but I think we'll have an average on all the phone sizes soon, such as 3.5" or lower for the low end market, between 3.5" and 4" for the mid and some high market, and anything higher than that would be high end.

5" and above would be a tablet, even if a small one.

[General Topics] Schnuppe:
4"

4" is OK for me. :)
[General Topics] henrik.dk:
samsung has already release fusion 4g with 4.5".

a qhd phone of 4.7" should be of the same width as 4.5"

If you look at phone from htc, effectively just the top/bottom margin gets smaller.

4.7" will be the game for sure.

4" is a good size for a screen. I would consider a 4.3", but only if it had a tiny bezel.
