I got this problem with Browser when playing flash on 2.1b, after I applied 2.2 I no longer got this problem. but thats directly a flash conflict. for yours its some problem with gmaps.

did you do a wipe before you flashed up to the 2.1 version of taboonay? if not, i strongly recommend a full titanium backup, erase, flash 2.1 full, then flash 2.2 update then a partial titanium recovery (no data, recover only most essential apps) then see how gmaps goes

it may be a pain in the ass but its the best way to resolve this if it is an isolated issue. :)

edit: wait, i dont think its isolated now, since I flashed 2.1 clean, then 2.1b then 2.2 tested it then and I get the same problem. :(

I went from Stock 3.2 -> 3.0.1 -> Rooted -> Taboonay 2.1 -> Taboonay 2.2

No settings were changed. I didn't touched the build.prop and my market is reverted to the phone version. I looked in the build.prop for anything related to LCD Density (which I never changed) but did not see anything. Do you have any other suggestions? I just rooted/installed custom rom last night and I'd hate to go back but I see no other option right now. Thanks again for the help.

So I downloaded the update but when I checked the file on filehd it says it's a zip but it certainly doesn't look like one. It's just a white box-looking thing.

[Acer Iconia A500] bhalbower:
I guess the best thing you can do is to follow the instructions posted a few pages ago to downgrade your Market to an earlier version. Technically, the Market version 3.2 isn’t a phone version. It’s for both phone and tablets. I started using it on my Nook Color running CM7 months ago and I don’t like the way it looks either. I prefer the old Market much better, but I tend to force myself to use the latest so I don’t get stuck in the past. I can’t tell you how many times I hated the improvements to Microsoft Office and the Windows Operating system, but I would still be on Windows 95 if I didn’t force myself to get used to something new.

Follow the instructions a few pages back to downgrade to the earlier version and you will be good to go.

Good luck.

[Acer Iconia A500] TEPEM:
was wondering if it's only me who experiences wi-fi disconnection problem after the upgrade.

My A500 I have purchased recently was running stock 3.1 (GEN_3) after that I decided to upgrade to 3.2

My choice was Taboonay 2.2 after all and I went ahead - since then wi-fi connection keeps dropping for me every other 5 mins (whether I actively use wifi connection or not).

I tried resolving the issue as per the solution provided in this thread but it didn't help.

After performing reboot with cache reset and even after manually deleting wi-fi network and then rebooting with cache reset the problem still persists.

I looked up the bugtracker for the ROM but there's nothing related - hope someone can suggest the solution.

Many thanks in advance!
[Acer Iconia A500] sw6lee:
omg im so frustrated. After i just installed taboonay 2.2 the market force closes right away after i open it. I wiped data 3 times cache 2 times dalvik 2 times and fix permission once to make sure there is no left over that may cause this rom to not function well. I tried installimg marjet 3.1.5 and if i try to install it, it show red "x" and says application not installed. I tried moving the jarket app to home screen and it still force closes. I tried the old market fix for non google certified tablets, and the market still force closes.

Please help..i want to keep this rom.

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] rickenbackercriswell:
This method worked for me... don't forget to change settings from r/o to r/w in your file manager program and rebooting is often essential. Shout back if you struggle... I had to learn this too!
[Acer Iconia A500] lostsoul3471:
Same thing here.

Have been using 2.1b for a while with no issues. Up'd to 2.2 today and within an hour I lost my wifi. Other devices had no issues, but couldn't lock a connection with the a500. Tried a reboot and same thing. Based on a couple posts off the thread there, reset my router and all is fine. Now we just need to see how long it lasts.

Based on this and the prior version, there's definitely something not quite right with the wifi settings/drivers in 2.2.
[Acer Iconia A500] FormerSelf:
Thanks for the reply there. I read back through what I had posted and it sounded as if English was my second language. Had a few too many brews at the bar that night. =) I've tried following the instructions and it doesn't seem to work (guess permissions. File Manager HD says I have rw though) but from reading the other replies here I know I'm just doing something wrong so I'll have another go at it. Thanks for the back and forth with me and pointing me in the right direction.

[Acer Iconia A500] maris__:
Just renamed the original vending.apk in /system/app into vending.apk.original and copied vending.apk version 3.1.6 into the same directory. Then rebooted, and everything works fine. Additionally, you might reboot into revovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache.

First of all i wanted to say thanks for the great ROM.

So.... Thanks :D..... a lot!!

It really runs nice and smooth, especially with the 3.7 OC kernel.

But also to report that channel 12 & 13 do not work out of the box in this ROM but the OP states that it does.

No big problem, i just ran Richardtrip's channel 12 -13 fix myself and now it works as advertised :)

Edit: Also in the build.prop the line that should disable mobile standby "ro.carrier=wifi-only" actually says "ro.carrier=wifi-onlyro.carrier=wifi-only"

which results in #ro.carrier=wifi-only ;)

Thanks for sharing your great work!

With 2.2 and the 3.7 kernel my build.prop shows "ro.carrier=wifi-only" as it should. I haven't edited it at all, installed 2.1 and updated to 2.2 straight away, avoiding 2.1b then added 3.7 after a couple of reboots (not sure if thats needed on the Iconia but my Desire would have a hissy fit if you didn't)

The notifications are there but the system just doesn't reckognize them and I can't even set them under Settings/Notifications (only shows the silent option).

Tried to go to 2.2 lost root even after restoring from CWM backup...sigh...

I installed the 2.2 update from 2.1b. It just sat at the Iconia Tab cylon screen for 10 minutes. I powered down and installed trips 3.7 kernel...rebooted and same thing.

Went back to my CWM backup but now I don't have root anymore. Had root right before the CWM backup because I did a Titanium backup right before attempting the upgrade.

How do I get root access back without having to drop back to 3.0.1?

hi vache, can you add the new Acer Ring app and lockscreen shortcuts in the a500 ??? its possibol?
[Acer Iconia A500] kiwi_mat:
I found my tablet took 5+ minutes with the 2.2, the problem being the new init script (/etc/init.d/09data) which goes through each database file and vacumes them, that takes ages with many apps..

I moved the script (/etc/init.d/09data) to the storage (so I can run it later), and now the tablet boots in about a minute, I have a fairly large number of apps on it - the above script takes about 4.5 minutes to run on my tablet..

Its really not necessary to vacume the databases all the time, its only going to save a little space, any speedup in database access will be tiny on memory based storage..

Hi guys,

I updated my A500 from Taboonay 2.1 at 2.2 and the Root problem are resolved.

Now I have a new problem. WiFi connections.

When I try to connect to any wireless lan, my tablet loop in continuous search the IP and disconnect to reconnect at the SSID.

Some one have any suggestion?
[Acer Iconia A500] klaus9000:
I had that same Wifi issue on 2.1b. I had to set my access points with static IP addresses. But when I attempted to connect to a public Wifi it would just do the search-connecting-disconnecting over and over again... I was about to ditch this ROM when 2.2 came out. The upgrade fixed the issue (for now). Sorry that won't help you but I find this issue really annoying because even now when I take my tablet with on a trip I feel I need to have a backup netbook in case the problem comes back.
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
Titanium backup all your apps and minimal user data/settings, duplicate your titanium backup folder to your sd_external for extra measure, full wipe, apply 2.1 full zip, apply 2.2 zip, download titanium, restore backup. dont backup/restore wifi settings, enter your wifi credentials manually back into your fresh copy.

remember to turn off that silly google auto sync data backup feature, its can cause ('restore') problems.

not fun, but if you try it, it should fix the issue. :)

The devoloper who created the USB Mount All software has a free test software you could download off his website that will allow you to see a large partition but not read or write to it. If it works, you can purchase the USB Mount All software to mount the drive.
