Two unrooted Tabs (one for me and one for my boyfriend) bought at the same shop, at the same time. Have been connecting via the same ISP, same router, same house since we opened the boxes.

Could you dump your system.img. boot.img. and flexrom.img. and upload them for people that did the chinese update so we can fix our devices
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
OTA updates don't roll out to everyone at once. They go out in batches, usually depending on the serial numbers of the devices as well as initial build numbers. That being said - just be patient, you'll get the update. No need to be hostile about it.

I was on 1.104xxx and have been bumped up to 1.141xxx.

These are very similar to phone updates, have you ever heard of them getting otas at the very same time? No. They roll out in batches as well usually dependent on the imei.

Hopefully at some point Acer will narrow the build numbers to one or two, and that way they can provide an update on the website and perhaps a way to update easily from the tablet itself completely manually (meaning download a file and update, vs. OTA).

I wouldn't compare the update process with the TF the way the OP did because there are essentially 4 TF builds, Wifi US 16 and 32 and Wifi International 16 and 32. Take that and multiply it by 2 for Acer since they will be adding a modem to all their current wifi models for various carriers and the software is essentially the same. In the end, it's a very different update process and one closer to phone OTAs than bonafide tablet OTAs right now - though I suspect that when they start shipping their 3G models they'll narrow them down to actual Wifi vs. Wifi+3G builds.

to me, this is very annoying ... and time consuming due to too many different build # ... members are not comparing oranges to oranges ... etc :confused:

Vague update from Acer

Hello to everyone in the Malaysia region that is waiting on the OTA update from Acer. I sent an e-mail to their support department regarding the update and got this in reply:

Well, if you're in Malaysia then you may as well use the images from

this

thread to update to the newest ROM because it doesn't seem like we're going to get anything from Acer until 3.1; which shouldn't be far away at this point anyway. The service rep said it will update to 1.139.04_AAP_GEN4 which I'm assuming is the Asia/Asia Pacific region. Seems strange that the tablet I bought is 1.016.04_COM_GEN1... I guess I'll reroot and play around with SU access for a few weeks. =D
[Acer Iconia A500] azraeljarah:

I've had a D2 since day 1 and I'd like to get another one for my wife. But I discover they're no longer selling them. Just great. Is the Droid 2 Global close enough to make use of all the same accessories? Namely the docks?

I'd rather us both have "the same" phones for the sake of support. She's upgrading from an ancient flip-phone. For work everything's done on her Blackberry, so carrying two devices isn't a problem. I'd rather not have to deal with trying to explain how an HTC handles things a little differently. And it'll be a cold day in Hell before we ever buy an Apple products. The keyboard is a requirement, that and the X2 is just too large.

So can I still get *new* Droid 2 phones anywhere? I really don't want to get into used stuff for this.
[Droid 2 General] rusty815:
all accessories should work fine on the d2g, i have a multimedia dock myself and it works, just keep in mind that if you want to mod the phone and put a custom rom on it, d2 roms do not work on it.

I was kinda thinking the same thing. Maybe improvements to the software will be made in the release version resulting in better quality. Either way, this trumps my crappy Samsung Moment camera!
[HTC EVO 3D] crabjoe:
It looks like the camera on the E3D really SUX! The pix don't look any better then ones taken from my old Blackberry Curve.

HTC build nice phones, but they need to really do something about their camera sensors/software. Don't they realize it's 2011 and not 1999?
[HTC EVO 3D] sdc177:
This is the one area Samsung owns HTC.
[HTC EVO 3D] crabjoe:
I don't understand, in this day and age, how a camera in a phone is as bad as those pix look on Picasa!

Where does HTC even get their cameras from? It's like they went into a old junk drawer and found a bunch of 10+ year old camera sensors, so they decided to use them.

They say you can take 3D pix and video, but with a camera like that, you won't be able to tell what you took a pic or video of. It really makes me think the 3D part is really more a gimmick then anything else and any pic or video you take in 3D will be a joke.
[HTC EVO 3D] djdisturbed:

[HTC EVO 3D] Nsandhu23:

I would certainly trade the 3D part for a single high quality 5 megapixel camera on the new EVO. Oh, I'll throw in Sense too!
[HTC EVO 3D] vinterchaos:
if you were going to give up 3d, wouldn't you trade it in for a 8mp camera instead of a single 5mp

[HTC EVO 3D] Mr.Shroom:
Did anyone else notice that these pics are only 3MP?
[HTC EVO 3D] killakarl:
We have a 5 and 3mp setting in our cameras someone could have messed with the settings.
[HTC EVO 3D] connerrs:
Where do you see that they are 3MP? I guess I'm blind...
[HTC EVO 3D] Mediocrates:
just download the pics from the page, open them up in amost any viewer, right click on the image, check the properties, or info tab, and it will state PG86100 took the picture. It's the model number of the Evo 3d, so there's your proof. I doubt somebody would edit the EXIF information on a picture just to make the camera look this bad, but you never know who upped these pics either, could be a competitor.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mr.Shroom:
Open one of the pics and on the right it says

2560×1440 pixels

= 3686400 pixels

=~ 3.5MP unless I wrong
[HTC EVO 3D] connerrs:
Also 2 of the pics were posted by a Sprint employee (assuming it's a real profile). If you look at the user's profile (Jennifer Ruggiero) it states that her employer is Sprint. Not sure why they would have shot the pics at 3MP....

[HTC EVO 3D] killakarl:
It also depends on the upload also
[HTC EVO 3D] Mr.Shroom:
My guess(obviously i don't know) is that these were 3d images are 3MP, and when they were posted they were converted to 2d, and thats why they are 3MP.
[HTC EVO 3D] SuperSonicEJ8:
I think you guys are getting way to excited over nothing. so what if these pictures are really from the evo3d and they are at 5mp. even if they are you can't judge how good the camera is by viewing them on an online database such as picasa. when you upload images online a lot of picture quality can be lost. take facebook for example. I took a picture with my olympus evolt e520 the other day and put it on facebook and it looks like complete crap. I'm not saying picasa has the same result as facebook b/c i haven't used it before, but it's certainly possible. I'll wait until i have the phone in my hands to judge the picture quality
[HTC EVO 3D] Mr.Shroom:
Totally agree with ya, but it's fun to speculate.
[HTC EVO 3D] connerrs:
Agreed but at this point any information is good information. I'm not at all putting any stock in these pictures being representative of the final version.
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
Megapixel's don't matter. Even if it was taken in 3mp it wouldn't degrade the image as much as you think. Samsung will always have better camera's than HTC. I am going to wait till I can visually see the 3D effect on the EVO 3D. The camera and screen of the Galaxy S2 is very hard to ignore.

[HTC EVO 3D] maxawesome:
I guess I'm not seeing what's so bad about them. It's a 5MP camera, guys. You were expecting DSLR or something?
