[Acer Iconia A500] mspec:
So I have had my A500 for a week now and love it but still getting used to it. When I first purchased it and opened it up on first boot I setup the wi-fi etc it came up with update available, Said ok and it did the update.

When looking at the about side of things its saying its version 3.0.0.1 or was it 3.0.1 (am at work and cannot remember exactly. So has the 3.1 update been put out and that's what I updated to or is there still the update to come ??.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
20 seconds of searching would net you your answer.

3.1 is due out at the end of June, but no exact date as yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
on 30 June @23:59:59 exactly PST!

[Acer Iconia A500] CrArc:
Oh man, is this it? 6/23?

I've had my Iconia for a day (upgrade from Advent Vega). It's awesome, but I miss being able to use my Xbox controller for ye olde sega/nes/psx games.

Very much looking forward to 'official' xbox pad support, and hoping it brings analogue stick functionality with it (I'm guessing it does - right now, I only get dpad/button/triggers working on the Vega).

The 23rd... an agonising 11 days.
[Acer Iconia A500] AZDR1V3R:
yeah I can't wait and I really think why it took so long is cause Acer had to add things to improve a500s quality with honeycomb, more than motorola and Asus had to.
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
I think many, many people are thinking the 3.1 update is going to be the holy grail of Android.

I, for one, will be waiting to update - you lot can be the 'first adopters' and get all the bugs, I'll wait for 3.101.

3.1 will not be the all-fix thing you think it'll be.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
3.1 the holy grail !!!

I didn't heard about something after 3.1... such as a 3.x or 4.0 ... what the future of Android ?
[Acer Iconia A500] 4dthinker:
Afer 3.1? Ice Cream Sandwich. It is the unifying firmware to run both phone and tablets and anything in between. The holy grail of a smartphone OS. After that? Ice Cream Sandwich 2.0. Etc..
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
no

after that

Honeycomb will become Spicy Buritos 4.0 Ultimate Android version with the tequila notification and the samba starting screen :D
[Acer Iconia A500] gasparzim:
Yeah, mexican food and brazilian music. That would be nice :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] sarcasmo:
3.101? That could be a long wait :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
To be honest, I don't think so..

I think there will plenty of bugs in 3.1 - this forum will be FULL of posts about gps not working after update, or wifi, or mSD card, or whatever.

3.1.001 will be out before the end of August to address those faults.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
Why do you write such nonsense?

the port which is already made, which is not even perfect.. and its still pretty good..

fast browsing

is

the major i think for this release..

launcher less laggy

wifi,gps etc.. works pretty ok i think for a asus port..

so please.. false arguments.. 3.1 is already on our device in a unofficial port, and initial reports are good (if you please ignore media playback)

the official 3.1 can only be better, if acer do just as good!!

but we seem to have to wait alot longer for the official to get out..
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
And what makes you think, out of all the things Acer have done (for eg. ignore all requests for unlocked loaders, ignore emails (well, ignore the first 3-7 emails), they'll make 3.1 'better' than it is.

EVERY time there's been an update from Acer, there are a flood of posts here about something not working after the update - why do you think 3.1 will be any different?

And, to paraphrase you - initial reports are good, but only if you ignore something that's bad.. and you really think that's a logical statement?

1940 - 1945 were lovely years to be alive, if you ignore that silly war thing.

3.1 is very likely to be better than 3.0 - if only because they've managed to fix 3.0's bugs (like ANY update).

I just think it'll come with it's own slew of both new and old-unfixed bugs, and this forum will once again be filled with posts about xx not working, or yy force closes when it didn't before, etc.

Lets face it, there's been, what?, 3 or 5 Acer download updates this year, all supposedly fixing something found wrong in the previous releases..

3.1 will have a host of bugs, and there'll be updates for it within 4 to 6 weeks of its release.. I've just said I'll be waiting for those updates, rather than bow down and praise the holy 3.1.

That's my opinion of the 3.1 release, you have no right to call it nonsense when it's based on the number of updates released to 3.0 this year.
[Acer Iconia A500] lord_voldemort666:
I think you're thinking of the Asus TF... :-P
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
thats what i think too.. they person is wrong this time. as its no business of Acer, but actually done by another comany..

people just want someone to blame for something...
[Acer Iconia A500] netham45:
I think Fluffbutt is just arguing to argue. His arguments suck, and are all pretty much unfounded.

There's only been one update for 3.0 per region that I'm aware of.
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
You fanbois ARE kidding, right?

I've had my A500 for about a month now, maybe six weeks, and it's updated twice from original in just that time!

You lot REALLY do love your Acers don't you.. you can't stand ANY dissension or disagreement about how wonderful things are (you should be on their payroll for marketing!)
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
you are in a developer forum, with all the custom roms for any model you can think of (almost).. so wtf would you care about what Acer can deliver of updates, if xda have the suppport required to get your tablet working..

we can only be so lucky that nvidia tegra2 is getting so popular and that platforms are almost 100% compatible.

i only ask acer to open the kernel source, so kernel developers can add the functionality missing.

but updates from acer? i dont need updates so often.. we need xda forums and more supporting the developer community..

if you can say "fanboy", you should associate that with nvida tegra2, and not the vendor here.. i chose Acer because of the hardware, not because of the company and its reputation.

Who wants a usb less tablet, if you get one with both sockets? (here i mean asus/motorola)
[Acer Iconia A500] pixiejoe:
don t have to be sarcastic but you are right
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
By your reasoning we all have to invalidate our warranty and root the A500 in order to do the updates?

I care about what Acer produce becasue i want to keep the warranty I paid for...
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
honestly.. have you read alot of warnings and people not getting help when they root'd their phone? im sure you can find a few, but! this forum is like 1Mil+ , so come again. just because you dont want to, does not mean all the others feel the same way..

you sound like a guy afraid of the dentest, so you never open the glass of candy, or the dentist will point fingers...

If you dont like your hardware, sell it.
[Acer Iconia A500] babyboy8100:
I don't know where this is going but Dexter is right, I for one didn't choose Acer on brand recognition but simply on hardware. Regarding warranty no one is force to root and "void" it your more than welcome to wait for OTA's like Acer intended. but for some people myself included love getting together with the development community and experiment on our devices getting the most out of our device little by little day by day the devs making custom roms better each day. I don't think were fanboys here as we welcome constructive criticism but not false rants leading nowhere and serve no purpose but to troll..
[Acer Iconia A500] lord_voldemort666:
I've had my Acer since launch day, and I've only gotten one update. What is this second one you speak of?
[Acer Iconia A500] El Philou:
Wich version have you ?

See this tread... [OTA] Full Package and Update... ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
not to make a joke out of 3.1.. but i have a Folio100 and A7 and another unbranded beta product.. all of them pre-3.x..

they all play mkv,avi by tegra2 hardware.... who would think that a 3.x device, "Google experience" would lack such essential functionality as many wants to view clips, trailers and other media.. and now the device looks like its not possible at all, and 3.1 does not help much.. i got a few more mp4's working, but no mkv or avi..

Sad! I dont call it a bug, but a vital missing function in the tablet from Google's side..

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Staunch:
Is any able to advise me if the Telstra version of the Atrix would have similar issues to the Bell OS, if I decided to load up Motobread, Ginger blur etc etc.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makmegs:
I may have missed something but i followed the steps to install gingerblur and well, it bricked my Telstra atrix that I only got yesterday :(

Luckily i made a backup of the telstra firmware as soon as i got it so its all good. Just got no idea on how to install CF. The telstra atrix i'm assuming is the same as the AT&T atrix because they are both "Motorola Atrix MB860" but i could be missing something
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makmegs:
Uh oh, radio's and fingerprint reader aren't working :(

Oh, and it also wont turn itself off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
You guys should probably be following instructions for the Bell Atrix. Bell users have been successful at flashing the telstra firmware and then installing grey/ginger blur and so I'd start there.

Hope it helps

DarkRyoushii

PS: OMG Atrix is released in Australia now? I should go find a telstra store and check out the differences, my Atrix that I've had since launch (from AT&T then unlocked) is the only one I've actually used so I'd love to see if the bugs in mine still exist in telstra's hahaha

EDIT: Oh and if u need a briefing. Bootloader Bypass has basically dropped off the radar and turned silent, probably still being worked on in private chats to avoid spam and offtopic posts. 2nd Init works (a different way to install custom ROMs however unable to modify kernel) but there are no ROMs developed yet, probably also being worked on in private chats if you are interested check out the freenode IRC #moto-atrix

All ROMs released as of writing are pseudoROMS that only theme and lightly modify the current OS
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Staunch:
Thanks

I had a really bad feeling that that would be the case. Bell users appear to have a limited range of options compaired to the AT&T users. Now it seems that the Telstra users will have even less options than the Bell users. :(

I have at least managed to load HeLauncher, Pyramid & Fancy widgets tonight and now I've have more of the options that I wanted from the HTC desire sense UI.

Still trying to work out how to get my hands on the widget/live weather wallpaper that has that Super Cool looking windscreen wiper that clears the rain away.... Any ideas on how to get ahold of it? :confused:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makmegs:
So i can guess we can all agree that Telstra's Atrix cannot be flashed with custom ROM's from AT&T. I just tried it again tonight with different roms and all works up, shows "Ginger Blur" or whatever it is and then the red blinking failed boot and it just tries over and over to boot. I'm gonna flash back to OLYEM_U4_1.4.2_SIGNED_USAOLYEMTELSTRA_P029_A020_M005_HWolympus_1g_1FF and just sit and wait till something comes up unless someone's got something they wanna try
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2whisper:
they should be able to flash using the gingerblur/greyblur guide by seven2009. you may not be able to deodex with the same instructions but installing should be fine, you would need to flash grey blur and factory reset the device before installing gingerblur.

If that route doesn't work you may need to start by flashing the french rom that is mentioned in that thread first.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Staunch:
You are doing better than me so far, but I must admit that going for custom ROM's has me a bit worried. I flashed my Nokia 5800 and it was better for looks and customisation, but it crashed alot. Then I jail breaked my iSheep (iphone 3G) and that was a little better than stock iOS, but it also crashed alot too.

I am hesitant to play around too much with the Atrix, simply because it's so new, and I was patient enough to wait for the Telstra release (instead of an imported AT&T version). However I found this thread that may shed some light on the topic at hand.

User "LeChuck" has some great knowledge and info about this Telstra firmware.

I am just not adventurous enough at the moment to have a crack at it. All I need to do, is find out how I could hard reset back to stock firmware if I don't like mods, then i'll give it a go. Even since rooted it over the weekend, I've notice3d more little issues each day I play around with things.:confused:

Can it be "Un-rooted" (is that an actual term used???) back to standard?

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siscim23:
That looks like a Xoom issue. When I had mine plugged in, I had the TV flicker a little because I didn't plug it in to the Xoom completely, but the Xoom didn't flicker at all. I'm using a little adapter, not a cable.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ifiuse:
I test the same video playing with the galery and its work fine...

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbotd:
Xoom Issue

I'd say there is a problem with the file or the Xoom. I had a bad HDMI connector on my Acer A500 and it would lose the signal and picture to the screen, but never lost the image on the A500.

I would try to output the desktop from the Xoom and not a video. Connect the HDMI with the home screen showing and see if the Xoom plays it on the LCD. If it does it is most likely a video file issue. If it doesn't, it is probably an issue with the Xoom.

If it were a bad cable I don't think the Xoom would lose the image on its screen.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
This Mod is flashed through CWM to enable 2 simple all-in-one commands to Freeze/Defrost SNS, DRM, and System Updates. Downloads at the end of this post. Read on to learn what they do and how to easily use them!

Fully Flash-able Test Version HERE

Freeze SNS, DRM, and System Updates for Better Battery

These services are, generally, best kept frozen 99.9% of the time. Not deleted, as I've experienced problems if they are actually removed, but disabling them saves me noticeable battery life.

You can use Titanium Pro, MyToolbox, ,Bloat Freezer, or Mybackup Pro to freeze services, but that's only after you've installed a rom. Then once you boot in, you have to buy and download that app, and then navigate a huge list of services to freeze.

But it only takes one line of code per service you want to freeze. That's right, the following commands can be entered into a terminal like Terminal Emulator to disable these processes:

su [I](Gains root)[/I]
pm disable com.sec.android.providers.drm [I](Disables DRM launcher)[/I]
pm disable com.sec.android.app.sns [I](Disables sns)[/I]
pm disable com.samsung [I](Disables updates)[/I]

However, these commands are lengthy, not easily memorized, and just a pain to write. The best solution I can come up with is to simplify the commands.

[Note] You do not want to do this if you don't understand how freezing these services may affect your day-day use. This will save some battery at the definite cost of DRM content functionality and Facebook Contact integration.

How To Use This Mod:

Still using Terminal Emulator, after you flash one of the linked .zip files, all you will have to type is the following:

To Freeze Services:

su
superfreeze

To Defrost Services:

su
superdefrost

If you like my work, click the Thanks button or donate a beer!

I am still in the works to make this work entirely solo once flashed from CWM.

PS: If you're looking for a free alternative to any of the apps I listed up above, this isn't it. This is only one small, dedicated part of those apps. I highly recommend buying one of them, you'll find them very useful. :D

PPS: This mod, and subsequent versions of it(hopefully!), is for the Epic 4G. I cannot guarantee that the script is accurate to any other phone. But the commands themselves are universal across Android.

Thanks to paulobrien for his explanation found here!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
I can't answer you script question, but I have one of my own. Are those commands permanent, or will I have to type those in everytime I turn my phone back on? I'm assuming the latter, since you want to be able to do it easier.

Sent from the only thing i need.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
These commands are indeed permanent on reboot. Pm Disable is exactly the function apps like Titanium use when "freezing" services. The goal is, I would like these commands to be executed while my rom is installing. I used a similar .zip file as a skeleton for the layout, but I'm just not sure what additional coding is required to make this work. I'm 99.9% positive it can be done. :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
Oh ok. So I now don't have to disable the drm or sns anymore. Cool, if I ever needed to re-enable them, what would I type in?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwallersv:
I'm guessing that the Android runtime system has to be fully initialized and running for the pm command to work, and it's not in the limited runtime of the recovery environment.

Sent from my mind using telepathitalk
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
That seems to be the problem, because I've gotten the tiny files themselves to run in the terminal, which is at least useful for streamlining this operation! But I can't get them to do anything in recovery, it just has no effect.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
So I have come to the conclusion that this cannot be done from CWM due to reasons I've explained in post #1.

However, I have posted a workaround CWM flash-able which, still using Terminal Emulator, simplifies the commands down to 2 simple codes.

:D

UPDATE: Turned out I posted bad .zip files with out of date updater scripts. The links have been fixed and should work as described in Post #1!
