Well the good thing is that it's smooth. At least for me so I don't have any problems with that.

The only bad thing is that you have to jump extra hoops to get access to your external SD card and to have a decent word editor and keyboard.

I've fixed both limitations on my device and I can safely say that it's perfect for me. I've even sold my laptop because of it.

It would be nice to have a resizable widget and browser slide but that's supposed to be in 3.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
@Fluffbutt what was that ?

no religion argument... I don't want see again some stupid people make a religion war or calling racism.

@dizzy33

show your sluggy tablet on video (and not a sluggy video, want see a HD 30fps) when you use it, and what are the website you go etc...

YOU still doesn t reply to my very first request of those...

I posted a video and make the proof that was maybe YOUR TABLET and not ALL TABLET and cannot be disapointed by ACER just because you got a crappy device, or maybe... really maybe... the crappy device is not in your hand, but simply that YOU ARE THE CRAPPY DEVICE.

like we said 90% of the problem in computer are between the chair and the touchscreen :D

A bon entendeur salut.
[Acer Iconia A500] dizzy33:
Why the hell are you so agressive ??? Please stop talking llike that or leave home to do some sport !

If you want a website exemple (like already said before), just browsing through the XDA forum is not fluid at all. Same problem with the Android Market app. But the real question for me should be : what is really fluid on the A500 ? The answer is :

- browsing on google (one of the only fluid sites, whatever the web browser I use).

- watching photos with Photo Browser 3D (but this software is very buggy, it does not display anything if there is more than 500 photos, and sometimes it crashes).

- sliding the icons pages (but it is fluid only in landscape mode...).

Everything else is not fluid at all, sometimes dramatically... Browsing the web should be very fluid, it's the minimum we do with a tablet !

My A500 has only a few things installed on it, no Widgets, no animated wallpaper. So the processors have the minimum to do, and I always kill the apps in memory.

Could anyone see the following video and please tell me if their A500 is so fluid while browsing the web ?

the sgs2 is smooth but Ive read multiple people say it lags in some places. Id have to say it has much to do with optimization. The devs on this forums get things running butter smooth. We know its possible...

Infact look at the playbook that thing is smooth as hell. I think we are doing the intel p4 effect all over again.. racing for the fastest possible speed instead of optimizing the cpu and processes
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
play nice

Life is much to short.play nice go out get your hair and nails done together your differences will fade away.

Ohhh and my tab is close to stock as well now.but I have had to factory reset it several times .there I'd some very not so honeycomb competabe apps out there.

I love my tablet.Apples we for worms.and stuffing in the pigs mouth as you toss in the pit.yummmmmmmmmm
[Acer Iconia A500] hazard99:
wow .. I call em isheep you call em pigs lol.
[Acer Iconia A500] umanko:
A500 hadles three times more pixels then gx2 but still competes well with it that too without 3.1 .
[Acer Iconia A500] iqbalbaskara:
I agree with your reasoning, but do you really have to bring religion into the mix? This is a forum to talk about gadgets and technology for god's sakes. And if you look into the history of mankind, ALL fanatics do that, not only Muslim ones.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
WoW! it's unbelievable how you guys are still feeding the troll!

I really wish I could see his unsmooth iconia but I honestly think he doesn't have one. Anyone seeking help would have posted a video/gone for a replacement already.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
FYI xda website is not the best example, the website is heavy to load, but when loaded it's ok.

take a good example... google HAHAHAHHA kidding kiddo, why not saying about:blank is smooth only.

I posted a video with couple of website opened and not small ones, and that was smooth, maybe smoother than some others people but not CRAPPY at all.

Landscape smooth with front cam on the left side, It's a fact ITS ANDROID ISSUES and NOT ACER.

500 pictures on photo3D... hu!? well that is kind of... humm no comment.. what I could say... overloaded. did you take your whole life in picture, or you are professionnal in photography.... don't you know how to create albums? I don't mean wrong but that have to be checked, and I will check this asap I load 500 picture on my tablet... and what size are your picture ?

Comparing SGSII and A500.... that is simply LAME. no comparison can be done, since one is a PHONE and the other is a TABLET... are you doing such comparison as a TOWEL and BED ?

not same devices, not same system, and not same hardware at all...

Galaxy S II

Type	Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors

Size	480 x 800 pixels, 4.3 inches

OS	Android OS, v2.3 (Gingerbread)

CPU	Dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 proccessor, Mali-400MP GPU, Orion chipset

A500

Type	LCD capacitive touchscreen, 256K colors

Size	800 x 1280 pixels, 10.1 inches

OS	Android OS, v3.0 (Honeycomb)

CPU	1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 Dual Core processor, Tegra 2 chipset

So first CPU of samsung is faster, have less work to do size to render and it's a fact that samsung galaxy S II is a kickass for rendering web etc... but... still

COMPARE the phone with an iphone4 and we will speak normally

compare iPAD2 with A500

or Galaxy TAB 10.1 with A500 (that makes more sense) and then it's ok we can speak

but STOP FOR GODSAKES to compare a ****ing telephone with the tablet...

I own 2 tablets so I kind of able to see if anyproblem occur.

No Video = Liar

Do not think I am aggressive, I am not at all. Do not miss understood.

I will check about the photo3D things soon. I am uploading at this moment over 500 picture to my tablet

each picture are 12Mpix from my Canon Ixus 105. let see but I do realize that will be problematic maybe, even for my windows to open such album is slow.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
543 pictures 12MegaPixel per picture Photo3D

Where are your problem

you are a unlucky guy, or liar, or just you like to complain without any proof..

I just run a test on a big album with over 500 picture on Photo3D browser... and No problem...

UPLOADING VIDEO PENDING.
[Acer Iconia A500] oxbeast1210:
OP

how fast does ur smooth iphone/ Ipad load flash hahah:p

Why don't u post a video like we have been asking it would be easier to believe your issues that way. its a pretty simple request nothing crazy
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
Ouch that's low...

still.... you makes me smile hahaha
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
Smooth or Not so ?

The OP never stop complaining and never give any proof of his saying...

I have to say I feel like this guy is just here to complain and troll like a hell.

I apologize by advance if what he said was true, but NO VIDEO, NO PROOF.

He may have a problem with his own tablet but I suspect that he does have a problem with TABLETS since he does compare always tablet vs phone.

Here 2 videos I made

Browsing web experience.

from his saying : that sux, that slow, that really bad, that crap etc.. etc.. etc..

well let the video speak for itself.

[YOUTUBE]eJadZhyuz4U[/YOUTUBE]

Photo3D Browser with over 500 pictures

from what he said. it's buggy, does not show anything, bad bad bad etc... etc..

well again let the video speak for itself.

[YOUTUBE]eJeZTNqRDCY[/YOUTUBE]

So please stop bothering with your "fake" acer disapointement, and go for buy something fit to your "requirement"
[Acer Iconia A500] spades:
Hey guys, gotta throw my 2 cents in. I'm sitting here browsing on my A500 while my girlfriend is next to me on her ipad2 doing the same. My pages load faster but the smoothness of the I pad is very nice. My Acer is still very smooth browsing...yes, even on the XDA site, but it's not as slick as the Apple toy. But when it comes to functionality, I prefer Android.

If Apple ios had to run on thousands of different devices, you'd get the same quirts. But it only has to deal with a select few pieces of hardware manufactured to Apple's strict standards. It's like Mac OS vs Windows. Compare the number of different vendors Windows has to run on and all the drivers it has to deal with. How many does Apple have to compensate for? Ios runs on a handful of hardware and is still buggy...sheesh.:mad:

That's about 2 cents worth.:rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
IT was an EXAMPLE to demonstrate the fanaticism people have to their belongings and beliefs, for eg. I've seen major fights erupt over the Ford/Holden debate, when they're just bloody cars!! (Australians LOVE their cars..) (or was THAT ****ing racist?) (yes, I know all religions are the same way - it's just been a while since christians invaded jerusalem; it was a current example/reference)

And if you doubt what I've written, re-read this thread - he's been called a liar, a troll, a cheat, a moron (indirectly), ALL because he says he finds his tablet to be 'not very smooth to use'.

Why should he have to prove it to anyone? Why should he have to go to the trouble of making and uploading a video just so you lot stop calling him a liar? He's unhappy with something you love, so you attack him personally..

And where do YOU get off calling me stupid?
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
I did not call you stupid.

first stop debate with religion that's it. It's better to take another example than religion that's it, and I think many people will agree.

I have to say that just "if someone come and read the post, it's looks like ACER = ****"

I am sorry but i have to say what i think

I do love my tablet, i choose acer after many comparison etc.. after trying and be sure that was the one fit to my requirement, and all i did by posting video is prooving that ACER A500 is not a piece of junk.

all this post make thinking people bought acer a500 are stupid, or blind to buy such piece of junk.

what is so hard to post a video ? that takes what few minutes to do and upload... at least we could maybe see what are the problem he got and maybe help.

other point is... he could return back his tablet to the shop and get a voucher.

instead complain about his tablet.

I don't see where is the aggression.... to show where someone is wrong.
[Acer Iconia A500] xManMythLegend:
Just wanna say Honeycomb is just as God awful as every previous iteration of Android in terms of choppiness/lag. Understand something *GOOGLE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT UI FLUIDITY* http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6914

Please read that. Please watch the Google io video in there. Google REFUSES to make the necessary changes. Wp7..ios...webos... Android easily has the choppiest experience despite easily having the best hardware. Make yourself heard somewhere relevant. Start a topic or star respond all those that pertain to the UI.

I love Android. Beats the snot out of ios. But frankly the gap is becoming razor thin. GB/HC both failed miserably to bring anything promised or truly relevant to Android. Android is still the king it versatility and features. But features are the easiest thing to add. Designing a fluid and smart UI takes intent and talent. Google is devoid of at least one if those. And if Matias Duarte doesn't force the issue and fix these UI issues with ICS than I will be jumping ship. I'm loyal but I'm not an idiot like Apple fans.
[Acer Iconia A500] dizzy33:
You're telling me that it's stupid to compare a Samsung phone with the A500, but you ask me to compare the iPad 2 with the A500 ...

The iPad 2 does not have the same processor, same graphic resolution, or operating system ... Just like the Samsung phone !

Anyway, here is a video comparing the iPad 2 with the A500 :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI0vqfoUT5U

When the guy compares the web browsing fluidity (pinching and zooming), you'll see what I'm talking about. If you don't see a difference, or if the difference is not a problem for you, then that's OK, just stop to be agressive with me, it will just mean we don't have the same needs in fluidity.

Also we must remind that in this video the website used for the test is very well working on the A500, which is not the case for every website ...
[Acer Iconia A500] dizzy33:
Thanks for posting your videos,it just confirms what I was thinking : this fluidity seems OK for you, but it's not OK for me. I need something more fluid, like the iPad is.

When you are epileptic, this is a health concern.

But I really don't understand why Google does not make an effort to let it's O.S. more fluid, it should be when we look at the hardware of the A500.

The post made by xManMythLegend help us to know more about this, unfortunatly ...
[Acer Iconia A500] gmelfi:
Android 3.1 can now be installed on acer a500 via custom rom and let me tell you its now par with ipad and i should know i use to have an ipad.
[Acer Iconia A500] dizzy33:
I would hope so but all the youtube videos I can see of 3.1 on XOOM or ASUS did not convince me about fluidity (it's better but not as fluid as on iPad).

I guess I should now see a video of an A500 browsing the web with 3.1 ...

EDIT - I've finally checked this video :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpYPXjV29BU

But again, from my point of view the full ipad fluidity is not there ... A few things go faster but not smoother. It may be better in the final ACER release of the 3.1 but I don't believe so. My A500 is now for sale.

Anyway, thanks to all of you for your help !
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
I'm glad you found some hacked A500 to show us, but we would like to see yours, with no modifications, running unsmoothly as you claim.

Why still no video of your A500 m8? Can't your girlfriend's super fluid iPhone show videos or what??
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
first let me apologize I don't mean to be aggressive,

I also noted the fact that you are epileptic that is not really good and I know well the problem, fkickering is your enemy.

I just want point the fact that you should say before that because your health problem that acer tablet and other as well cause problem, you just started to say that was the worst ever you ever see.

In my point of view.

you should get an ipad if that not cause crisis,but you will say goodbye to flash websites, and also to freedom.

As I said comparing similar and not others, and I saw many video and I was impress by samsung tab 10.1 but when I tried the real device.... your epileptic will trigger more.

I wait the update first week of july, and will post and compare between my 2 acer to see difference.

I was wondering normally epileptic people avoid screed bright, blinking, and every stressing thing...

here some playing video or movie using iconia....;)
[Acer Iconia A500] dizzy33:
Thanks for this post Sanael ! I'm glad to see you are not agressive !

I know well the differences with the iPad as I own an iPhone. So I know what I'll be missing from the A500 ... I originally choosed the A500 because I wanted to access the "open" world of Android, but also because of the benefits of the A500 : better resolution than the iPad, real size USB port, micro-sd slot, etc ...

So when my A500 will be sold I may not buy any other tablet as the iPad is missing a higher resolution screen and USB port ...

To be epileptic is not something easy to live, but my epileptic problem is quite soft, I'm working with computers all days, and the A500 sent me to the hospital one week ago and it didn't happen to me since 1999 ! Because of my disease I'm very sensible to the quality of the animations on screens (don't ask me to watch a japanese anim !), I guess that's why most of you don't understand when I say the A500 is not fluid enough for me.

But again, thanks to all of you for your help.

Hello,

First and foremost I would like to thank every developers and users for their participation in developing the Captivate. The phone has improved in its reliability, speed, functionality, and more.

To the point, from your experience, what is the best combination that you've put together (ROM, kernel, modem and etc...) that gave you the best speed and battery life? I understand that every phone reacts different. I've been using the same ROM since I bought the phone (about a year) and also am not the type to easily try out different stuffs without certainty.

I would love to hear people's opinion on this. Thank you in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Another "best of rom thread". Before this gets closed, no one can answer that as your idea if best isn't the same as everyone elses. Just read as much as you can and flash away or because you're not the type to try things willy nilly I'd suggest you stay where you are. Or buy an iPhone, jk!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GatorsUF:
So one person said ICS would be released in Q4 which is that Sept-Dec?

Either way when can I realistically expect to see a phone with ICS on Verizon?

I am thinking of sticking with my Inc until then. I love my inc, and the current options aren't great IMO (Maybe Sammy Galaxy S II) and I know as soon as I pick one up shortly after the ICS phones will come out.

Now I understand the Thunderbolt, Inc2, Bionic, and MotoDroids will probably be able to get ICS when its released (assuming they can be rooted) however here is my issue with that.

1. If ICS is anything like Honeycomb the need for physical buttons will be no longer. Therefor on older phones you will have buttons that don't work (maybe)

2. An ICS phone will be optimized for running that software. Presumably

I truly hope ICS doesn't disappoint, because as great as Android is with features...it lacks in design. I am NOT getting an Iphone, but the little animations and feel of the phone is much cleaner IMO. Hopefully ICS can capture that in its own way.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renzo.olivares:
Realistically you should expect ice cream sandwich on verizon sometime next year the reasons for this is because google releases their latest android os to their pure google nexus devices first but we could see it on verizon this year if the LG Nexus 3 goes to verizon sometime this christmas but it will most likely be on tmobile or sprint and yes the nexus 3 will be made by LG
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJGO23:
Well according to the latest rumors the Nexus 3 or Nexus 4G as it's supposedly named, will have 4G LTE so that means Verizon but you never know. It would be frickin amazing though; ICS, 4G LTE, UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, and more timely updates than other phones (using timely loosely).

Looks like the new Nexus is going to AT&T.

http://www.neowin.net/news/details-emerge-on-google-nexus-4g-android-40-on-board
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renzo.olivares:
Yup AT&T has 4g lte to but for now they are using hspa + until their 4g lte is ready to roll out so its logical that it will either come to ATT or verizon but most likely since every nexus phone has been gsm it will got ATT
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJGO23:
It seems kind of illogical to me for it to be released on AT&T if it were to have LTE because by that time AT&T would probably have minimal LTE coverage in a couple of markets compared to the 100+ Verizon plans on having by the end of the year. If I recall correctly, Verizon is at 74 markets as of the 16th I believe. It wouldn't make sense to release a "4G" phone on a network with almost no coverage... But then again, I want it to go to Verizon. Lol:D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renzo.olivares:
Well ATT bought tmobile recently so that gives them more coverage and it could go to verizon just like the nexus s went to sprint and tmobile
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJGO23:
I don't think T-Mobile has LTE so it wouldn't increase AT&T's LTE coverage. And the merger if it happens (it probably will) won't be until early next year possibly the end of this year; which would probably be after the Nexus 3 (or 4G or whatever the hell it's going to be called) will be released.

How is it for you owners on tethering when your out and about ? Is it annoying you have to turn on your wifi on the mobile and then turn it off again ? Is there a big drain on battery life on your mobiles ?

I am about to buy the asus but concerned with the hassel of using it outside with no 3g built in and relying on my Nesux One.

Also does the USB port on the keyboard dockcharge other plugged in device ?

Sorry if any of this has been asked before.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Darp:
Tethering my TF was actually really annoying until I started using an app called AutoTether, which lets me turn the access point on my N1 on and off from the tablet. It's kind of like a remote control for tethring, and it really makes things much easier. Still kills my phone's battery life, but not as much as if I had the hotspot on all the time.
