I noticed

1 pixel white (not so bright) on my first one

3 pixel very white (very bright) on my second one

I would like know if any FREE unstucker application exist??? coz I tried some screen checker and after play with I unstucked 2 of the 3 stucked pixel (they was stick together)...

Are you sure you actually have a screen problem or is some random app telling you that you have a screen problem?
[Acer Iconia A500] silverball.slayer:
My first A500 would not turn on, except for only 1 time after numerous attempts. It may have got moisture in it from the application of the zagg screen protector, but I'm not sure. The second unit is ok, no issues to report with it. I also bought an asus transformer today and was going to return the A500, but after comparing the 2 at staples, I think I'll keep the A500 and return the asus transformer unopened. The deciding factor was the sound quality of the built in speakers - the A500 is noticeably better and can be about %20 louder at full volume The display quality seems %99 identical in my opinion, perhaps colour saturation is a little deeper on the asus, but it's so close to be a non issue.

I am having issues with the microphone though. The voice recognition is spotty at best. In the browser I wanted to search for related articles so I said A500 and the voice recognition thought I said 'gay bar 00'. I'm not making that up either! :O

I really wanted to have the ability to run linux as well which will most likely happen on the asus, but may not on the acer. I suppose in 6 months it will be moot as these units will all be obsolete and replaced by tegra3 devices.

I actually bought 3 Iconia A500s (32GB) and have gotten no problems with them at all, no dead pixels, no dust, great experience so far.
[Acer Iconia A500] elec2glide:
I bought a Xoom first & wi-fi went out in a week and seemed built very cheap. I trade for Iconia and build is much better and have not had one problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
this post should be renames since the majority of us are reporting no issues at all. Perhaps some people got a careless shipper of who ever stacks the shelves dropped one or two
[Acer Iconia A500] oasisautospa:
verry happy

Launch day tablet. All good here, fit and finish is still flawless.

Maybe costco is the issue, mine came from best buy and I checked it in the parking lot. Try a new store, most are at about the same price, and most will price match.
[Acer Iconia A500] tkirton:
I had a similar issue when I was in Chicago. I got mad at the voice recognition system on the tablet that, inadvertently, I shouted "Stupid tablet". It picked up stupid just fine, which gave me a list of item related to my search...the last one being the Chicago Police.

Microphone is subpar.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
I don't get what you asking...

I see with my eyes white pixel on the status bar.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Screenshot please.
[Acer Iconia A500] silverball.slayer:
I have tried to enunciate my words better, but unless I am literally yelling at the tablet it does not translate properly. The audio appears to pick up fine with the camcorder utility, so I think this is more of a fault in the voice translator. Louder speech is probably easier for it to translate as the waveform sampling would be more robust.

Rob
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
LOL? Screenshot would make a snapshot of the screen (the way it's supposed to work) so if you make a screenshot on a broken screen it will look ok.

You should request a picture. I'd also like to see one so that I'll know how it looks like.
[Acer Iconia A500] scottxray:
No stuck pixels on any of the tablets I've gotten..but......

What I am frustrated with is that today I loaded gps test and found that my tablet I got Saturday would not lock ANY GPS sats. My wifes tablet I got Sunday locks up to 9 sats easily.

So off to Costco I went to return my Tablet. When there I got the last boxed unit they had ( only the display left after mine). Got home , charged it and set it up...downloaded and ran GPS test...only 4 sats , but it actually locks faster than the wifes.... a little miffed I decided to check the rest out, only to find that the Micro SD card reader is toast.... It won't read any card I try ( I have 3 1, 2 and 16GB ones that all read correctly in the wifes.) It looks like the card read pickup is damaged as I see some twisted copper lands in the new one where the wifes looks clean in the slot. I was careful inserting the card and I think it was just screwed when I got it. So tomorrow its back to another Costco again, in hopes they are still in stock somewhere in town.

Another problem...both my wife and my first tablet had no micro HDMI cable in the box. The one I got today had one....

the strange thing is there is not one called out in the box package contents.

But then I saw that several others mentioned they received one in their boxes.

I absolutely LOVE the tablet. Just hope I can get one that works on ALL functions, tomorrow morning. Maybe I'll buy two...I can always return the extra if the first works well. And costcos return policy is very accomodating.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
hahahah it's by reading your post that makes me think about take a snapshoot...

I was about take a screen shoot with my camera :D

I load them (both tablets in few minutes)

First Picture (mine with a stuck whitegrey pixel) actually I just noticed a second one, but they are not very bright... so not disturbing, just want and hope to unstuck them since they are not black (dead)

second picture the very bright stuck white pixel of her

third picture for the fun because on mine can't see it, her grid is very bright on a certain angle with a certain light.
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
That pixel is really bright! I would return the tablet for another one. It wouldn't even be that bad if it wasn't on the black portion of the screen of all places.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
well it's on the status bar so... not really bothering

and my girlfriend don't even care about it.

if that was in the middle of the screen yeah...

If I took time to check about the tablet during the time I bought it I will change it right away :D

Btw I was not complaining about quality control, I was just checking if someone knew about how to unstuck pixel (coz application I found are made for phone... not for tablet...)

I can let the tablet running whole night plugged and running some flashy coloring stuff but I need that flashing coloring stuff :D
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Try Quick settings. It doesn't flash but it does have an option to show a full white screen (flashlight settings). So you could try turning it on and off. I never used it but I remember that it's an option.

I don't know about the status bar though. It would be nice to know the key combo or something for the service menu (if it has one).
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
does anyone know of a post or link somewhere showing how to dismantle the a500? I would love to get the two specks of dust from under my screen, other than that my device seems well built. I'm thinking there is a small opening near the usb. Both units I've had had dust under the screen next to the USB port.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:

[Acer Iconia A500] scottxray:
Just got back with 2 new iconias. No hdmi cables in either. and both take 10-15 minutes to get gps lock..never more than 5 sats located and only if I take them outside completely. SD card slot is good on both.

Disappointing. both of these are newer kernels and build numbers

than the other three ( one of which works for gps.)

.

old versions is kernel 2.6.36.3-00001-g9b3ce2b Build A500 1.104.02 Com Gen 1

new version is kernel 2.6.36.3-00001-g44a8bac Build A500 1.145.09 Com Gen 1

I am toying with the idea of forgetting the GPS functions since I already have one anyway for the car. But it is supposed to work and others have it doing so.

not sure what to do .

:mad:
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
1) the iconia does not come with HDMI cables.

2) depending on your location your GPS may not get any better. You can always try the GPS fix in the development section.
[Acer Iconia A500] silverball.slayer:
I did some of my own testing tonight and found that my lock takes about 30 seconds. In the car, I had 8 or 9 satellites showing and 6 were fixed (gps status). I did some test navigation with nav-it and it worked, but that program is not very good at all. I am home now, sitting on the couch with my tablet open. After 30 seconds I have 3 (sometimes 4) fixes on 4 satellites.

Google maps does not seem to be a good method to test the GPS on the acer. It seems really flakey especially when there's no internet connection. The map tiles are cached and you would think that you could use that for some basic navigation, but after a few blocks the gps stops working correctly. Nav-it is better for testing, but it's interface is poor and the maps are very basic and not easy to use.

Rob
[Acer Iconia A500] scottxray:
I know that the HDMI cable normally isn't in the box...its just that in ONE box it was.

Why, I have no idea.

Also the one tablet (I got for my wife) gets a lock very quickly (usually 1-2 minutes max, and as quickly as 45 seconds) and finds 5-6 sats at a minimum, usually 7-9 sats found within 30 seconds normally. I am using gps test to check the lock, not google maps. These are all stock 3.01 Iconias. I haven't done any root or other than normal apps.

Every other tablet I have tried rarely even sees more than 1-2 sats within 5 minutes , and even then fails to lock for up to 10 minutes after it sees at least 4 (from the same location my wifes locks quickly in). I have never gotten more than 4-5 sats with a lock on any of the problem units while my wifes locks much quicker with between 5-6 in use for positioning. Since I'm new, and they have a full warranty I don't want to root, so i'll just return these ( again) in search of another that performs like my wifes.

I will try 2 more tomorrow. If they are the same, I might consider rooting one of them after studying the forum a bit more. I do like the tablet...but at $480 I'd like to find one that seems problem freeor at least as problem free as the wifes unit.

thanks for the help, and especially the dev forum info, (for future use).
[Acer Iconia A500] scottxray:
picked up two more iconias at Costco today.

#1 Gps took quite a bit of time to lock the first time but now is locking quickly.

See up to 9 sats and has locked (used) up to 6. accuracy to 30 ft. Restarting tablet results in relock in about 30 seconds. Moving tablet does not cause loss of lock.

Android 3.0.1 build A500-1.104.02 Com gen1

side note ...this box came with a micro HDMI cable . The box had a green sticker on it that mentioned recycling, which is the only differnce externally, I noticed.

#2. Took longer to lock the first time but also eventually did. Never USES more than

4 sats and has seen up to 8. Accuracy generally at 45 feet. Relock takes about 1 minute. Moving the tablet usually result in loss of lock for 30 seconds or so.

Android 3.0.1 build A500-1.145.09 Com gen1

#2 tablet will be returned as good but not needed.

I will keep the first unit ( and the HDMI cable) and call it good.

It seems the older build version may have something to do with the GPS sensitivity, as the higher build versions I tried did not see as many sats and did not use as many for the lock when they did see them.

I will now root and backup both the tablets I am keeping, in prep for the 3.1 update.
[Acer Iconia A500] CSeb95:
No problem with mine neither. Everything is OK so far !
[Acer Iconia A500] rami98:
Ok well wow. I went to a completely different costco and checked the dislpay model (working) and it has a bubble under the glass almost in the same spot as the one i returned. i cannot stand any defects in a screen.

so now i have my trusty old nookcolor with cm7 until my xoom wifi ships from costco. apparently they dont sell the wifi xoom at stores (costco) anymore. maybe something new is coming or they replaced it with the iconia becuase they still have 3g version. I cannot stand the plastic back of the galaxy tab. i love it and how thin it is and the screen is much nicer than the iconia or xoom but the back is nonremovable and a completely white shiny plastic. I have a DROID CHARGE and i dont love or hate the plastic back. its removable and has a texture to it and it doesnt scratch as easily. oh well. xoom for me. my bad luck...
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Just checking: did you read the documentation that came with the IconiaTab? The default background as set by Acer has a spot in the image that people have mistaken for a bad screen time and time again.

Assume you have already checked this and have just had bad luck - bought mine from Best Buy, screen is perfect in every way.
[Acer Iconia A500] rami98:
ya i know that part towards the side on the stock acer green background. it's not that. i ran the dead pixel test and there is some dust under the screen and there are some stuck pixels that only show up in certain colors
[Acer Iconia A500] kwongwt:
I don't think you can get rid of the dust if you open the case. The touch panel is a couple of thin plastic sheets and they should be glued together with the LCD panel. The glue can be dissolved with alcohol, but I wouldn't recommend you to open that up unless you have a dust free chamber. I've replaced a broken touch screen for my old Viliv, and there is no way I can get rid of all the dust that were trapped inside during the process.

btw, I have an A500 and a W500 and both panels were perfect.

Acer A500

Hello, Just thought I'd chime in (in fact I just registered for this!)

I purchased one of these beasties from Officeworks in Sydney, Australia last night. After unboxing, I noticed the unit had multiple air bubbles on the screen - they're just below the surface and inside the plastic. Took it back to the store immediately, the manager apologized and replaced it with another.

Long story short, I was there for a good hour or so as we cycled through FOUR UNITS, all with the same issue (some really bad with up to six bubbles, others only a couple, but near the middle of the screen); these aren't small mind you, they easily span a few pixels.

I finally ended up with a good unit though, and I absolutely love it. The 3.1 update came through a few hours ago, it's a breeze to use and honeycomb is sexy as all hell.

Absolute bummer though, the manager was an apple fanboy (ten year veteran, when I asked, he said he couldn't think of anything bad about apple!). He went on and on about his iPad and how it's superior, citing the faulty Acer tabs as proof :-(

Good Evening,

How i must begin ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
By SEARCHING, then you would have found this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1133650
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
That guide doesn't mention recovery at all.

At the moment, to use recovery, you need to use Fastboot which is only compatible with handsets that can have their bootloaders unlocked - possibly handsets that have already had bootloaders unlocked but I'm not 100% on that, still waiting for an answer from Bin4ry on that.

It's in beta at the moment though, so you may be safer not using it until some of the kinks have been ironed out.

Also, apart from an early version of CM7, there aren't any ROMs available for the Arc apart from stock SE ones, so there's really no need to use recovery just now.

If anybody has seen any of the youtube review video of xperia mini/pro, you know that the phone has that beautiful glowing earth live wallpaper. I want it so bad, but i'm kinda stuck. Some googling gives me result named 'planet earth 6 live wallpaper' but it's not free, and just listed on small scale website.

Does anybody know where can i get them for free? If any that is.. ;-)

Tiny wings is now on market but is anyone else having problems opening this game ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Try 'MoonRunner' or something similar, exactly the same as Tiny Wings. I didn't know it was on the market though, is it free?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iainbp:
Nah not free . £1.33. It says it has installed but I can't c it on my phone and you can't open it from market
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Sorry, only advice I have is to try MoonChaser. Bit annoying if you specifically want Tiny Wings (like I do) but it's exactly the same in terms of gameplay. You are a ninja, who has to beat the lunar eclipse, and the islands (or in the case of the ripoff, mountains) have the same layouts. Very good if you dont want to pay, and I am probably the cheapest person ever, so yeah I recommend that.

For some reason my phone seems to b dieing alot faster then normal...I'm running cm7 latest nightly with tiamat 4.0.5 non SBC...I had two scripts running..vipermod and v6 supercharger...but due to my phone getting hot n not knowing what was causing it I took them off..I would run Netflix with those scripts n like 15 mins into it would get really hot and then reboot on its own. I also had tiamat 4.0.5 SBC n took that off as well...my evo has been running well after those changes...I do want to run those scripts again tho...my battery life is horrible...it wont last more then 6 hours...one more thing. I can't seem to fix my battery accuracy...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I highly recommend backing up your apps with titanium, then do a full wipe, re-install the rom, kernel, and the vipermod. After looking at the B6 SuperCharger, it will work on CM7, but your phone just may not like it; also check your governor settings.

For the battery: Charge it to 100%, boot into recovery and wipe battery stats, let it die completely, so that the phone turns off, charge it back to 100%, and you should be good to go.

[HD2 Android SD Development] mccmjoon76:
If u having problems

1)Make a copy of [1gb data.img] i prepare for u , just in case the build get unstable .

2)Let the Build SETTLE. After each boot & Reboots, let the build settle for 1-2 mins before attempting to use it.

3)Upon boot receive a 'Sorry, system not responding' message,click on wait and all is ok

4) System is freezing a lot ~ Run Fix Permissions in Rom Manager than reboot .

5) High battery drain ~ Kill all apps 'using Task Killer' on Background before off screen. And if still high battery drain just Restart the Phone using 'Quick Boot' app.

6)Robotic Sound when making calls ~ Make a free call press 'speaker' and off again.. Done

7)End button for off or restart Build didn't works ~ Install 'Quick Boot' from market

NOTE: Guys u can update the 'Quick Boot' TO 'Quick Boot Plus' for HOT REBOOT function ~ no need to return to WM for second booting :D

8)Use "morelocale2" to get Traditional Chinese or others Language .

9)Data transfer not stable ~ used app call 'Dual Mount SD' for transfer data .

10)Is there any possibility to customize MAC ADDRESS ~ HERE thanks to 'TarekNajem04' for sharing this :)

11)Regarding to black screen after call - are you using Set Cpu? If yes try to turn it off and check if this helps. I have had similar problem on some other builds - when the cpu clock is set to low it causes mentioned problem.~ Thanks to bigu1975
