[Acer Iconia A500] xendrome:
So guys, what is the latest update, I just got this A500 yesterday and it says no update avil. when I manually check on WiFi.

Right now I am showing

Model: A500

Android ver: 3.0.1

Kernel: 2.6.36.3-00001-g9b3ce2b

Build Number: Acer_A500_1.104.02_COM_GEN1

It seems like I am missing an update, since I can't get Corporate/Activesync mail in E-mail client and I see others saying they received an update last week and it may have been pulled?

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Have you looked at my thread this will fix anybody who has not yet received the 1.141.07_COM_GEN1 update. If it helps give thanks and support good sir. The instructions are pretty straight forward you do need root. Also Euclid's Brother was nice enough to help by making a tool so if you want you can skip the ADB steps. :D
[Acer Iconia A500] xendrome:
What if my current system is never meant to get 1.141.07_COM_GEN1, and then later on I can't update OTA to 3.1 because of the manual upgrade to 1.141.07.

I could see this happening, it happened with the Samsung Epic at one point.

Any way to go back to an old update if need be?
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Yes all you would need is the system.img and the boot.img from your device also acer is updating devices for free that have an update issue. you just have to send it to them. The reason you are not getting the update I would think though is that your kernel is different from the people in the USA since there are 2 different kernel versions. Have you registered with acer through your device?
[Acer Iconia A500] xendrome:
Yes I have already registered, can I copy the existing system.img and boot.img from the system? If so where are they located? I am already rooted so I should have access to them if they exist.

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
you can you either need to know how to use adb or get an app called terminal emulator. Either way the steps are the same.

1. Open ADB or Terminal type su hit enter.

2. type dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/system.img (hit enter)

3. type dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/boot.img (hit enter)

4. type dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/flexrom.img (hit enter)

There you go you just backed up your current system :D
[Acer Iconia A500] xendrome:
Well great.. looks like the SD card slot is damaged..

Put an SD card in, pushed down on it to get it to click and it made a noise like something broke... now it doesn't see the SD card.... lucky me. I bet one of the pins is bent.

Any tutorial's on how to pop the back off?
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Look on youtube its not that hard
[Acer Iconia A500] xendrome:
Well sure enough one of the Micro SD card slot pins was bent all to crap and broken. I took the unit back and did a swap at the store.

Now I am back, I have rooted and backed up those images so I have a good backup.

I guess I am still concerned with flashing the boot/system img files and then running the update.zip for 1.141.07.

I mean, if it was released for the US, why isn't it still being pushed OTA, and if it was pulled for a reason.. then there must be a problem with it?

What is the source for the files in the first post of this thread... - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1101859
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
It has a different kernel if yiu start on step one in my thread it replaces your kernel.so all would be good
[Acer Iconia A500] Magaboo:
To Crsdr37

Hi,

I also have the build, 'Acer_A500_1.104.02_com_GEN1', on my Iconia and patiently waited for an update. I guess it will never come?!:confused:

I found your thread, but was not able to find the app that would allow me to update without ADB.

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks
[Nexus One General] pakalrtb:
On cm7 , but my system apps are missing, even though I've separately installed them 100 times. The installation process in recovery seems successful, but still no google apps after reboot.
[Nexus One General] britoso:
meaning you installed the gapps update.zip correct?
[Nexus One General] pakalrtb:
Correct. if i go to setting-applications-manage I have the market and market updater listed but with all the options greyed out. No sign of.gmail or other gapps.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Fix permissions, then try again.

I recommend fixing via ROM Manager, because it appears to do a more thorough job...
[Nexus One General] albundy2010:
Go to the market and downlad the Google apps you want. You're installing the tiny gapps zip and that's what it is supposed to do.
[Nexus One General] FLAC Vest:
If I recall you have to flash that google add on pack to get the google apps. When you do this you'll reboot and setup your google account.

Go read the initial installation directions and see what it says.
[Nexus One General] munchy_cool:
I have had this issue with other apps which I flashed to /system from recovery, flashing successful only to see them not come in the app drawer and then I realized that I had bad sectors in /system and just flashing CM7 eats up all the /system , I have created a thread about that here. may be of help to you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shotchacokov:
I can't recall with all of the posts lately, but is there a voodoo lagfix for our beloved sgs4g? is there something stopping it from being applied? My coworker just got a charge and has a custom rom and kernel with lagfix already...

Just wondering if i missed something.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
Nope, not ported over yet. Do you need it that bad? My phone is flying with the bali kernel coupled with the fugu mod, and if i wanted to OC it to 1.3-5.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
Lagfix would be sick
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
I'm sort of experiencing lag as well, but how are you overclocking?

Tegrak wouldn't let me do it, nor would SetCPU. It wouldn't go over 1GHZ.

~little off topic, sorry
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fatherof4:
u have to have one of the bali kernels installed and then u can use tegrak. Set cpu will not work. I have also applied the fugu fix and have bali 1.4 and Tegrak has me oc'd at 1.3!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
I already have the Bali kernel, and it looks like Tegrak all of the sudden works...

hmpf.

fugu fix (CWM Flashable 0.1) doesn't seem to have helped that much, maybe a tiny bit.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1020196

should i follow the steps inside that post to overclock? or are there new steps...

sorry about the off-topic discussion again, this is my last post, i promise :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eric-1987:
Yeah setcpu does work once you've changed the frequencies in tegrak first.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
I used tegrak on stock kernel overclocked to 1.4 and was also using set cpu before I flashed bali. All is still working w/ bali even set cpu.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
You don't notice that the apps pull up quicker. They just burst out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
Those using Tegrak, once you changed the settings, did your phone started to vibrate nonstop??? I had to pull out the battery. Did the fugu tweaks, and have latest bali kernel. Is it supposed to vibrate like that?? Thanks for the help
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
mine did not, i get a vibrate at loading module then when i set the speed i get another vibrate. thats it. what are you trying to OC your phone at?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
Mine did the constant vibrate once, although I don't recall what I was doing prior. Holding down the power button forced a reboot. Never happened again.

Also you will need to raise your voltages if you are going to go higher than 1.3 with pro.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shotchacokov:
I don't need it... I might deere a tiny bit of lag once in a while. I have linked it to the weekly Lookout scan so it's nothing to worry about. I, just wanted to ensure that I didn't miss anything. Thanks for the replies.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
I'm trying to get the same settings as u guys nothing drastic. Just want to learn where on tegrak you changed the controls. I am a bit confuse because there are like five levels of CPU under optimization not sure which one to touch. Just trying to oc 1.3 or 1.5 like I read some of yous have. Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
I know it drippings cool but why sacrifice the longevity of the cpu..i could understand it when the first gen phones were out but know that's just ludacris..

[Defy Themes and Apps] ATXiceman512:
Sorry off topic, Did you have to flash CM7 with RSD or what? If so could you provide a link to SBF file, kinda new to all this, thanks
[Defy Themes and Apps] ABC_Universal:
It won't install, I tried. And moving it to the system\app and changing the permission won't work as well.

If you want to try, download a 2.2 nandroid backup and extract with unyaffs.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legacystar:
So I'm sure most of you are having trouble with slow charging on USB. My problem is that my tginderbolt is seeing my car charger as a USB charger instead of an AC charger. Its a ggrffin dual USB charger, 1amp per port, so pretty high power. My Droid x sees the charger as AC and charges at near 1amp. It appears they haven't enables fast charge on USB yet. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this.

I have tried a few different kernals, wiping, reinstalling, different cables, disabling fast boot. Anything else?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dbagjones:
I had the same experience with a single port Scosche 1A adapter I bought at Walmart for about $15. My phone only showed USB when hooked up to it. Returned it and bought a 1A USB adapter from monoprice.com for less than $2 (minus s/h) and it shows as AC when charging.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legacystar:
Funny thing is my Droid x sees it as AC. When I was running gb with the fast charge it was charging my phone at near 700mA.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dbagjones:
It is strange... My dad's Droid 2 would show AC as well, no idea why. The significantly cheaper price of the second adapter kind of made me give up being bothered to actually pull out the multitester to find out.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
It's really annoying to me how the Infuse 4G handles messages longer than 160 characters (or whatever limit it is). It knows to combine them, yet it makes you "click for more" which then shows that single message in it's entirety full-screen ?!?!!? What is this. 1995 anyone?

Anyone know if there's a way to ditch this silliness and just display the text like a text? lol

Samsung made a nice device, but some of the **** they do really make me wonder if they have trained monkeys writing their apps.

What is a stable gingerbread rom that supports camera?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Most consider stable, fully operational. There is NOT a GB rom that is this.

CM7 and MIUI have no FC issues or anything like that.

With cm7, expect poorer (not terrible) battery life, NO gps and they are nightlies/experimental so issues will pop up. There is NOT a stable build.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] SurgeCentral:
Got a call from T-mobile today saying i owed $300+ for text messaging fees, apparently when i bought the g2x from amazon, it upgraded to 4g data plan and removed my data+unl text android plan, got things cleared up and restored my old data plan back, but the Rep said if i wanted 4g data service there would be an extra $10 charge a month on top of my Android data plan, so it wold of came out to $40+ instead of $30....

First off this aint Sprint for an extra 10 surcharge on 4g, I have a Regular Vibrant and the G2X and both hit the same speeds, so i said no to the 4g data plan and keep my android data/text plan.

Has anyone else heard of this?????????? any Tmo reps care to comment????
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrharvey:
Thats odd. T-mobile charges the same for 3g as they do for 4g
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SurgeCentral:
Thats what i thought but according to the rep i spoke too, to get 4g data plan I had to drop my data/unl text plan and get the 4g plan (no text) and i would stay at $30, or keep my data/text and add 4g speed for 10$ more....

so according to the Rep

$30 3g data/unl text (my OG plan)or

$30 4g + $15 unl text
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
No charge for 4g
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gshine:
Back when I got my daughter her G2 she came from some other phone that had some kind of bundled text messaging plan. The store I bought the G2 from didn't add text messaging to the plan with the G2. We've had unlimited texting the several year we've had the account and it's never been an issue before with a new phone.

So the next month I got a $1700 phone bill. My daughter texts a lot.

After the red haze went away, the pounding in my chest subsided, and I picked myself up off the floor, I went back to the store. They immediately saw what happened and called in and fixed it. No problems since.

Not exactly your situation I know, but they should fix an honest mistake.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] prettyboy85712:
Just go with your OG plan. There's no difference between 3G/4G. It's marketing. They don't have a way of controlling it per line anyways.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rauelius:
My thoughts exactly, just say you'll stick with 3G. The 4G on T-Mobile is HSPA+ so basically 3G with a turbo. But as far as I know there is no way to switch off HSPA+ without also switching off HSPA, and then you'll get EDGE speeds which is not what your paying for and can raise a stink about it if that does occur.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Soldi3rxx:
Ya I agree with everyone else, that rep must of been dumb or confused or maybe they did change it but I highly doubt that, when i switched over to 4g it was no price change. The rep told me it's basically the same plan, just phones that can do 4g will gt the 4g speeds and those who can't stay on 3g, that is all
[T-Mobile LG G2x] airborne3e9:
tmobile doesnt have 4g
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jjdill:
Really? Because I get 15- 20 mbps download speed and so do lots of other cities. My hspa+ is faster than my Cox internet.

Soo what do you consider 4g?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CrazyCharlie:
Ignore this troll. He's sort of right though. In the strictest sense the "4G" branding in the US is for marketing only. It doesn't actually meet the speed requirements set by the ITU. If you want to read more look here 4G - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rauelius:
Yeah I get 11 down 2 up myself. It's much faster than Att and feels more stable than verizon or sprint (friends and family complain...is it me or do CDMA phones seem to have more robot voice issues). Yeah these are 4g speeds...at least my phone has beaten my buddy's Evo 4g in a speedtest.net. Yay cell phone drag racing!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
I like TMO's customer service. Maybe 1 out of 5 calls, I get someone that stumbles around, but for the most part.. I do receive knowledeable and friendly people that have been very good to me.

Except last week, I got a new hire? I said, "I cannot find on my bill at my.tmobile.com a way to see my itemized breakdown of charges for apps." The rep: "We can see it here, do you have a pen to write them down?" I said, "I want to know where I can physically see it myself on my monthly online bill." She said, "Well, they are...<started to read them off>." lol. "Ma'am, I want to know where this is itemized on my online bill so I can see it myself." Her, "it's on your paper statement." Me: "I don't get paper statements, I said I'm on my.tmobile.com trying to find the itemized listing." She puts me on hold.. comes back. "These are the ones we see.. <she starts to read them off again>." lol.

It was like an Abbott and Costello skit. Finally, while on the phone.. I hit the "print bill" link... and the page that came up shows everything broken down.

"Never mind ma'am, I found it myself." Her, "ok.. would you like upgrade?" me: "What kind of an upgrade? Any free upgrades?" Her, "upgrades to your service." Me: *click*. lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] airborne3e9:

Frankly, when you can stream video at full 1080p resolution and still have bandwidth leftover, I really don't see the point in hemming and hawing over the fact that you don't get "real" 4g speeds.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] michaelkahl:
I went to my local VZW Corporate store to pick up an extended battery. To my surprise, they were sold out. I inquired about the inductive charging back, the salesman thought it was in but no dice. He tried selling me a quick charge pack but I turned him down.

I was just surprised to hear that the battery was sold out and maybe that's a bad thing. It tells you just how demanding this phone is of it's battery. I'm currently running BAMF Remix with IMO's lean kernel and it does well. I average around 5 hours awake time and 14 -15 hours off the charger.

I also work in an office where my signal is -65 to -75db. Today I was out of the office bringing up a remote site on a point-to-point connection and my battery went to hell in a hand-basket filled with lead. I was only 11 hours off the charger and 3 hours awake when the battery hit 5%.

Anyway, I ended up going home and ordering it online. This perplexes me because the VZW sales agent tried to order one for me but said there were none in stock. Maybe corporate stores have a different pool to order from? I dunno but I find it silly that I can order an item with overnight shipping online yet they can't do the same thing in store.

My battery has shipped, hopefully I'll see it tomorrow!
