Google Talk Problem?

First I would like to say thank you for an awesome rom.

There is one problem that I have encountered, however. When trying to do voice/video calls with Talk, it fails. Not the entire app, the chat just simply does not go through. My friend and I both have the same problem.

Thanks for any help.

Better than Acer 3.1

Dex, Thanks for the great work. I tried Acer 3.1 ROM, but I came back to this.

Since better weather widget from Asus and Storage location. And faster than Acer.

Please continue this line to polish up.

Should we expect a patch for the mounting problems?
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
mounting problem? /sdcard?
[Acer Iconia A500] QuadLight:
In terminal

su

mount -o remount,rw /

rm /sdcard

ln -s /data/media /sdcard

mount -o remount,r /

work well but after reboot..... :(
[Acer Iconia A500] huxflux2003:
Yes what happens for me is that if I boot with and external sd in, the whole system works with the external sd, as if it was the internal. The internal cannot be seen by most apps.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
then you mean the /sdcard pointer ? because /data IS the huge partition on this one. there is no small /data partition and rest split as virtual sdcard.

is that what you mean?

im sure its not possible for /data to point to your external microsd card.

so, sorry, i dont understand your problem correctly..
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
I think he's meaning that /sdcard is now pointing to the external_sd mount point from 3.0.1, and none of his apps can see the internal storage anymore.

By the way, quadrant gets stuck in "Video Decoding - H.264". I don't know if this is a pointer to something.

Could this be a build.prop issue?
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
no, this relate to the video playback not possible and is work in progress on that part.

I've got the same bug here bro!

Everything's working great except my video chat in "talk".

I make a call, it goes to the next screen, then immediately reverts back to the contact screen without even trying to connect via video chat.

Wondering if we can get a fix for it?!?

PRIMEE p8-3 update

This is now using custom kernel with extras..

the problems with my kernel with GPS/BLUETOOTH is found and solved, and PRIMEE is the first base for updating with the change.

See post #1 for other changes..

NOTE:

ASUS Based Quadrant tests are unreliable, as the h264 decoding is wrong, so you get a major score on that test, which result in 4600+ which is far from correct.
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
dexter..

in post 1 in the changelog u said ps3 controller works...

but in bugs , u said its not working yet.. which is true ? :confused:

what about HDMI out ? worked or not?
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
removed ps3 info , its working now...

about HDMI 1080p, asus do not utilize this in their media player, so no.

its a acer mediaplayer only thing for now..(i think)
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
no.

not the hdmi out 1080p but the standard hdmi out to lcd tv,

using primee it can only connect if plugged while booting, now still the same or worked anytime?

thx.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
No matter how much i love acer roms for me asus has the edge. My region locale is correct for most web content so is keyb. Widgets are better with asus like weather and email. Better multimedia performance wid drivers
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Flashed before and so far so good. Can you fix fc on my zine widgets as love them. Flashed path 3 over prime8 as instructed but not shown in about tablet field in settings. Hope no sleep of death and is this using same overclock daemon as unity v2 kernel? Do i need cpu master to overclock this rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
That is a asus thing, so its not changed for now..

i use cpu master, since its dualcore baed, and others seems to be single core based, so i recommend it.

Hey! I would hear if there is anything we can do by the browser. I violated that it does not run so well. It is slow and it moves the whole game when you run your finger up or down.

Otherwise good rum
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
you talk flash now?, you use flash games on pc, if its not made for tablets..

Flash is not invented for our platform for games, although it runs. its for adverts and mediaplayback only.

Do the Asus based roms still have the stupid screen coming on when in standby problem? My tablet was in my bag all day today and the screen stayed on for 8 hours and my battery was nearly dead the first time I went to use it for the day :(
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
this happens actually with all tegra2 tablets.. and the bug comes and goes...

its does NOT relate to apps, or firmware or so .. no one is able to locate the actual problem..

so yes, it happens now and then, and then its gone when you recharge the tablet, and comes back 4 days later..

Its a ghost, and Nvidia even wrote about the issue on their website, so please just live with it. it comes and goes, and we all experience the issue differently, some see it others don't..

Well finally took the plunge today, after watching the ROM development over the last few days. Great ROM, nice and quick now I've overclocked to 1.4.

I know this has probably been asked before, although couldn't find reference to it while searching. I prefer the stock honeycomb button layout on the toolbar? Is there a way to revert back?

Very happy to have Custom ROM's and glad I did not return the A500.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
i did it reverse for acer roms, so i might just do it on this asus based rom too.. let me see what is possible, timewise..

I flashed this ROM yesterday. I cannot get into recovery now? I tried manually with power /volume rocker and the Acer Recovery app? Both maneuvers result in a reboot.

Thoughts?
[Acer Iconia A500] 3c:
Not sure it's the same issue, but I had the same issue and realized that if I used the reboot option of the custom ROM (virtuous) it did reboot, but trying to get into recovery using power/volume down failed! I had to shutdown the tablet then start it with power/volume down... Then it worked.

The Acer Recovery app doesn't even reboot anymore!

Sorry, what patch did i make? "acer button control key"?

you can remove "Phone.apk" & "TelephonyProvider.apk", but please do not complain if your "settings panel suddenly starts crashing at "about" page.. i think its checking some 3g settings. that also needs some build.prop tweaking to remove 3g from the rom (3g.picasso=0)

No news on the encryption yet.

I tried everything I could find but it only made it worse. I did manage to try to restore the factory settings from the Chinese ROM, but when it rebooted I just get the ACER logo then the Android animated graphic and nothing. Can't get to the CWM menu either. I'm seeking help elsewhere and will let you know how it pans out. In the meantime I have acquired another Iconia Tab I can use that I won't change the ROM on! Will keep the bricked one to see if I can unbrick it. I'll have a look at sc2k when I get a chance. Thanks for the suggestion.

GPS doesn't work - no fix

Hello,

thank you very much for this tutorial. It works great. I have the latest ROM and the latest patch, I am very glad and like my rooted Iconia A500.

But I have a problem which concerns the GPS.

The device is able to see 4 or 5 satellites ("GPS Status" ...) but doesn't fix them.

The Iconia is connected to my WiFi rooter.

With "OI File Manager", I can only see in the folder "... etc/GPS" : "gpsconfig.xml" but not the "gps.conf". On the other hand, I am able to see "gpsconf" with "Boot Explorer" but it's entirely empty. It shows a white page, nothing appears.

"Google Maps" and "latitude" are always "blocked" on a wrong map, far away from my home.

I also tried a 3G connection ; in fact the 3G signal allows an internet access without WiFi but is able to transform this signal into a WiFi signal which is sent to my Iconia, so it is possible for me to go to the internet when I don't have a WiFi connection. Even this method doesn't work.

Do you could help me ? This problem, where does it come from ?

Thank you very much for your help!
