The hardware is great, Acer are a bunch of fscking morons. If they don't have the network capacity to offer the download all at once, put it out as a torrent as well as this stupid @ss method they're using. I've never seen anything like this in any of the electronic devices I've owned. All updates have usually been "download from the website" or "the device finds it and downloads it". Never this tiered crap.

Anyone want to buy a never ROMed/rooted Iconia?

Is no one using logcat to get the download link.

Same here, update just pushed to my tablet, however my power cord is at home and I am at work right now so I will have to wait until I get home tonight to install it. It has been downloaded though. Toronto, Canada. W00T!
[Acer Iconia A500] groaner:
Doesnt take long, if you are charged up. I wouldnt worry.
[Acer Iconia A500] cadeyboy:
im having some problems updating. It doesnt want to install the 3.1 update.

I am from London, UK.

I was thinking maybe I could save the update.zip onto the sd card and reboot it to read off the SD Card. I dont suppose anybody knows where the Update is saved on the A500, so I can move it across to the SD Card?
[Acer Iconia A500] spinz:
Just got the notification and downloaded/installed the update... I now has stock 3.1 ... also in Toronto, Canada !! Wewt !!
[Acer Iconia A500] preynmantis:
In which case, the warranty would be modified to comply with local statutory regulations.

That said, I would submit that a consumer would have a difficult time trying to claim that a device that they had purchased and initially met their need was now no longer "fit for purpose". Further, I have yet to see what has been fixed in any Honeycomb update that would materially affect the operation of the device.

I may need to look at the warranty and statutes from the UK that cover these devices. I am curious to see to what extent the statute holds a device manufaturer liable for software provided by a third party provider and if there are any statutory requirements to provide updates.
[Acer Iconia A500] sherrok:
I am having the same problem. I have un-rooted my a500. All I get is a yellow exclimation when installing. Is this because my wifi was modified for ad-hoc? If so how do I fix that.
[Acer Iconia A500] M..N:
I believe the wifi mod is the problem if I recall

Downloading

I'm downloading the update now. Manually checked. File size is 122.71MB. Hopefully this fixes all the lag problems I've been having.
[Acer Iconia A500] silverball.slayer:
I got the update for 3.1 this morning. My A500 is stock and has never been modified, let alone rooted. The update downloaded ok, but locked up during the unzipping process. I let it sit for 30 minutes and it was still frozen. Now I just power cycled it and will try again.

edit: power cycled ok, tablet stated update failed. Downloading again.....

edit2: unzipped ok, rebooted by itself and now appears to be updating correctly

Having the exact same problem as akkidy

My Acer Iconia did the ota update back a couple of months ago even though it is rooted.

The new ota update that came out July 4th goes through the motions then on reboot says update failed.:mad:
[Acer Iconia A500] triggs:
Updated to 3.1 this morning.

Some of you may have noticed that there are more system languages available with this update in settings. However some languages do not have the native keyboard included. For an example, Korean system language works, however missing the keyboard (using English keyboard and no availability of Korean keyboard), only has the Korean voice available in Keyboard setting change in settings.

I guess this could be included in next update?
[Acer Iconia A500] cadeyboy:
sorry to post this again but I dont suppose anyone can tell me where i can find the download of the system update 144mb (3.1) on my iconia or if someone has the zip file (UK) that i can get hold of..

I still haven't had the update show. my friend who has had his for a month just got his and we live in the same community (Central NY)

is it possible that they are only allowing certain versions to be updated?

oh and my box says the model number is A500-10s16w my friends is a A500-10s16u...

not sure if it really matters but i figured i would add it in for discussions sake.

Looking forward to mouse support from my bluetooth micro keyboard/mouse.

edit: rebooting now... hope it all works well =)

edit: mouse support is great... 3.1 is faster... Acer wants me to register again =)
[Acer Iconia A500] threedfreek:
Happened to me too... I believe it was because my system turned off while downloading and the wifi turned off... tried again this time I touched it to keep it alive the whole time... update almost finished... try again.
[Acer Iconia A500] threedfreek:
I posted this already but I want to make sure you get it too... I think the failure is because the device sleeps before it finishes downloading... keep it alive till it's done... what happened to you happened to me too.. now I'm sporting 3.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] jodiac:
I can assure you, my device was not sleeping while updating. I was constantly checking it every 5 minutes. At the last 3 MB of the download I was all straight, sitting in-front of it, hitting the downloading menu constantly to prevent it going to sleep. Yet! this **** happened! :mad:

I've tried downloading a multitude of times to the same effect. When I try to download on a desktop, I get an identical file (which is not a valid ZIP and is apparently encrypted?), and I see them same thing when I remote into a cloud machine I have on the West Coast of the US.

Is their CDN simply serving up a corrupt file? Are other people seeing a file differing from the above? Is it because I have a 32GB unit?

Installed ok

Fifteen minutes ago received OTA and installed 3.1.

Details as follows:- Florida residence, before downloading I "Defrosted" all my FRozen Apps - Re-enabled the two Telephony processes - Used GingerBreak 1.20 to un-root my stock rom running 3.01.

Now shows ::	Flex Version 08_COM_GEN2

Android Version 3.1

Kernel Version 2.6.36.3

Build Number ACER_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2

Two points possibly of interest (1) After downloading update and during the Install the A500 goes into "Airplane Mode" viz a small plane icon appears in the bottom right notification area and (2) It would appear that if any of your apps show up in Android Market and you update, then there is now a button to "Uninstall Update" - never noticed that before. Anyway everything appears to be performing well.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr.nikunjgaria:
how are you gonna root your tablet again??
[Acer Iconia A500] RJOent:
SUCCESS!

Ok. I got OTA update 4.010.08 (122.71 MB) this morning. It failed. :mad:

So I unrooted my device. Re-started it and tried again... SUCCESS! :D

I tried using Gingerbreak to root it again. FAIL! :mad:

So I used this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138228

What a good question

What a good question. Have just read a post in another thread in this "General Section" where OP did just re-try to install root via the accepted Gingerbreak 1.2 method (Portrait mode ete.etc.) but was on 30 minutes nailbiting wait and not looking good. I guess that I will just wait until one of the genius' comes up with an equally simple method for 3.1

I have acer_a500_4.010.22_com_gen1, speeddaddy has Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2

Is this due to different builds for different regions, or some such thing?

Point of reference but made no difference, it does say to have it plugged in

Tablet will download update, offer to install, after selecting yes will unzipp then reboot. Will show acer logo then android box with arrow coming out and yellow orangish line showing update status. Makes it to about 1/4 each time and then comes up with Triangle with ! inside with a green android below it. It will stay at this screen until I force reboot system. Once it has rebooted it will state "Update Failed"

3.0.1 up-to-date as until this update

unrooted via gingerbreak

unfroze all apps

never modified any telephony or other apks

finally did factory reset

Chatted online w agent -> referred to tier 2 foreign support -> referred to tier 3 US support -> Tier 3 indicated there is no known resolution & to continue to try to download and install the update.

[Acer Iconia A500] buffaloquinn:
Okay. So got my notification of the update a littleago and after a few false starts I got it installed. I think I had two issues; one, I had changed wpa_supplicant and two I had a keyboard plugged into the USB port. Coirrected both so I can't say what solved the problem.

Checked a couple of things. Browser loaded a couple of sites that always defaulted to mobile without a hitch. And someone asked about Google maps. Got a lock almost instantly!

Old Gingerbreak failed to root. Gonna try the new one. I'll get back to you.

By the way, I'm in Buffalo, NY.

This may help/hinder the theories about the ota update sequence.
