[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mo.shishani:
frankly i didn't check or notice such thing, but the moment i installed my latest ROM (GB/JHKG2) i have noticed that the signal strength is very week especially indoors.

thinking off and analyzing this situation i have a confident opinion that the problem i am facing is related to the ROM i am using (GB/JHKG2).

i am thinking of flashing a different Kernel to this ROM and see what will happen
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuvinN1:
When you installed a different rom did you flash back to your original telcos baseband? This makes an enormous difference to signal strength.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mo.shishani:
sorry LuvinN1 i am new to such terminologies and i have no idea about what you mean of telcos base band :o
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mo.shishani:
I have flashed another kernel and guess what? ....the problem is solved ;-)

[Q] The music for settings-->sound-->volume-->media is hot, where can I find it?

When I go into settings, and change the volume of various elements in the sounds menu, it plays audio I recognize:

"Incoming Call" plays my current ringtone

"System" doesn't play anything

"Notification" plays my current notification ringtone

When I change the volume for "Media", it plays a really hot tune. I used root explorer to try and find it in system files, and went through all the .ogg files, but could not find it. Can anyone tell me where the "Media" tune is found on the phone?

Thanks!

I seen the black version of the android Market on the original EVO but it was rooted. I wanted to know if there was any way to get my market to look black without rooting it or atleast what's the easiest way to do it.

If you know anything please let me know because I really like how it looks.

I tried putting pics but it said I can't post outside links bc I am a new user
[HTC EVO 3D] davec1234:
How about a ? in the title so people don't waste their time clicking looking for a themed market?
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
Bump.

I'm curious as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Why not take the new market, add the black images in, compile it, resign it, then use it to update your current market? Gimme the black market apk and I'll see what I can do.

EDIT: Tried messing around w/ some images. Not sure how it'd look but I can't seem to resign it. I'm pretty sure it's considered a system app.
[HTC EVO 3D] jesusballer91:
I tried looking for it again but no luck.

I have been unable to connect using 4G. 3G works very slowly. I can click the 4G widget to establish a connection, I get a 4G icon at the top with full signal bars. But unable to connect to any web sites or even the android market.

I'm not in Philly but maybe 1hr northwest in Reading and that happened to me yesterday. 4G on and couldn't connect to the net or market and even tried a little speed test and nothing. I did noticed it back around 9 or 10 in the night, so maybe it will be a half a day for you guys.
[EVO 4G General] spwt77:
I'm currently about 5min outside Philly but I hit a tower in the city for 4G. I'm able to access sites but randomly pages will fail but if I reload they will end up loading the second time. I've heard issues in other cities so maybe it's a Sprint problem.

[Acer Iconia A500] dr1337:
Hi guys,

Just sharing some official Acer 3.1 ROM love.

You can download the update.zip from here http://www.multiupload.com/P9EHQZXL2F

Flash with CWM.

P.S. Nothing has been removed or touched except for installing su.

P.P.S You also probably should delete your data and cache partitions to prevent contamination.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
tks a lot.
[Acer Iconia A500] dadoreverend:
thanks i'll try install this after download ending
[Acer Iconia A500] simetra420:
Anyone tried this yet?
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
it works besides an error during startup, it states error unmounting -i could not see what- but i will check.

works fine otherwise.

it states 3.1, kernel 2.6.36.3
[Acer Iconia A500] Greenycq20:
trying now

have applied over 3.1 leaked, and coming up with 4.010.02

all apps and settings seem to work.

still have wifi DHCP issues

may be best to wipe data before applying but will see if i get any other issues.

have got books and videos apps
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Any improvements over the leaked 3.1?
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
thanks!

My stock backup got deleted by accident (hdd crash on my PC where I kept the backup).

Will give this a go tomorrow - already have root on advance copy of 3.1 - just need to install cwm and flash, right?
[Acer Iconia A500] dadoreverend:
Olllè

yes successfully installed and all work fine, very very fine!!!! only downloaded and loaded with cwm 5, too many easy for me :confused: :rolleyes: hihihihihi

Do I need to rename the zip file to update.zip or leave it as update_3.1.zip, and when flashing do I use the option to install zip from sdcard or apply update from sdcard

Thnx in advance!
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
if you use CWM, you don't have to rename anything. use install zip from sdcard.
[Acer Iconia A500] simetra420:
I left it update_3.1.zip and put it on the external sdcard, and then I used install zip from sdcard and picked the update_3.1.zip no errors at all.
[Acer Iconia A500] snyph3r:
Thanks guys, will try it out....it's easy enough to re-install all my apps after the wipe...

any difference from the leaked 3.1?

official 3.1 recovery

Will this update break our custom recovery after flash?
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
Its different than the leaked version. That 1080p Bourne trailer the one guy is always asking about plays much better now, just like the ASUS rom. Can't wait to OC this build!

Edit: standby is gone from battery stats...we'll have to see if the change is real or just a gimmick. Phone and Telephony are still there obviously...

After flashing this version with CWM i'm having problems with hardware decode mode on SD videos in all video players (Rockplayer, MoboPlayer, BUZZ Player). It laggs like hell. Software decoding mode works suprisingly very well.

Am i the only one with such Problem?
[Acer Iconia A500] brutalpanda:
I had that problem before when I used 3.1 custom roms. The problem seems to be gone now that I used this. Maybe try downloading the proper codec for your player. Mobo Player prompted me before about it.
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
another option would be to install fasterfix from the market which works great with 3.1, but did not play nicely with 3.0.1.

I usually load and lock in under a minute the first lock and in under 10 seconds thereafter.

Build Number

Anyone know why people seem to be getting different Build Numbers?

I used the update from this thread and my build is 4.010.07_COM_GEN1.

I have seen others with 4.010.08, 22, and 24. Also seen some users with COM_GEN2.

Anyone know what the differences are and if I am ok with 07? Or is there an even more recent build I need to get?

Thanks all.

Yes if anyone has that link (to the build number meanings) that would be great.

Media Scanner problem

Updated OTA to 4.010.24 build, youtube playback in the browser is awesome including some 1080p videos.

Biggest problem is that the media scanner is ignoring '.nomedia' files, therefore including all the images and audio from data folders (gameloft etc.) in music player and gallery. Anybody else facing this?

Also, when I connect it to the TV via HDMI the video out is only 720p!
[Acer Iconia A500] Tam the Bam:
I updated through the leaked version via cwm and I have 4.010.04 but my son-in-law got his updated ota to his unrooted device yesterday and he has 4.010.22. He lives 2 miles away from me in Scotland. This would discount the area that you live in.

I didn`t notice any differences in the short time I tried his a500.

So why all the different versions and are there any differences?
[Acer Iconia A500] marko68:
I have flashed the stock rom of the thread with cwm 2 days ago and I got version 4.010.04......Today I have flashed again the same stock rom and I got version 4.010.01...... are this numbers totally casual?
[Acer Iconia A500] dr1337:
As I've said in my previous posts, the last two digits of your update represent your Flexrom's version.

The flexrom doesn't serve any real purpose except it being a separate partition that Acer can load with region specific bloatware.

I just flashed this rom today and my YouTube buffering time is huge, almost useless app.

[Acer Iconia A500] pacificwing:
Question about the manual update:

Is it going to prevent future OTA updates from Acer? Can anyone say for certain?
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
No, no one can say for certain - but since it is an official update you are flashing, it probably should get future OTA - take a nandroid backup of current rom while in cwm if you want to be on the safe side - I got my a500 with one year extended service from Best Buy and you better bet I keep backups before flashing anything - that way if I have to return this for any reason I can simply restore it to a non modified version.

Hope that helps. Just do a full backup, keep it somewhere safe (read: off tablet) and enjoy, would be my advice. Once you get CWM running a full backup is quite easy.

Dr1337,

Thanks for the share and root. This question is for you or any guru here. What is the difference between yours 40.10.07 and the new 40.10.08? Thanks.

Note. I flashed yours 40.10.07 on my wife Acer and when she clicks on super user, she gets force close every time. I unrooted with iconiaroot version 1.0, then rooted with version 1.0 and force close went away.

Wifi issue

I did a quick scan of the thread and didn't see anybody mention this, but apologies if it's already been covered...

Updated/flashed with this rom, after full wipe, everything working great until this morning... wifi now gets stuck in a cycle when trying to connect to any network (I've tried 3, my home network, my N1 running as a tether, and my neighbors network). In all instances it gets to the point where it says "obtaining IP address from *" and then fails, begins the cycle again, and continues as such until finally auto-disabling the network(s). Has anybody else run into this issue, or have any ideas on a possible fix? All I have tried so far is turning wifi on/off and rebooting the tablet... don't know anything to try beyond that other than reflashing, and don't want to do that unless I have a specific reason to believe that will solve the problem. I'm not too sharp on wifi issues, so thanks for any input.
[Acer Iconia A500] marko68:
So why the number change everytime you reflash the same version in the same country?

It's actually not Google's fault but Acer's shoddy job at assembling a working Honeycomb ROM. I just wish that instead on filling up their ROMs with useless bloatware that they would actually work on fixing bugs, maintaining stability and optimising the system.

extra wipes for peace of mind really... that's why I'd said 110% of system/rom cleaned of leftover junks...etc :p

The wiping cache/data & the factory reset after a new rom installed

is a must

[Acer Iconia A500] :
Get "Acer Recovery Installer" @ the marketplace here:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.interphaze.AcerRecoveryInstaller

It installs the latest version of CWM! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
+1 for good advice. You can brick your device while installing CWM if you do not follow the instructions very carefully. Take it slow if you are doing it for the first time.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Or you can do that - i went for a manual cwm install (I love using adb any chance I get) but I have read of others using this method successfully.

This is an fyi for anyone still interested. I successfully updated from 4.010.04 to 4.010.10 this evening from the rom in this thread. I flashed the stock recovery using Acer Recovery installer before I accepted the update, the downloaded file was about 84 MB, and I still have root. Finally, I am a US user. Hope this helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] Andarthiel:
Hi,

My brother has lended me his Acer A500 Iconia in the hopes that I can update it to 3.1(he was unsuccessful with it). I followed the instructions and used Acer Recovery and the .zip at the beginning of this thread to update via CWM. But as soon as I'm in Clockwork Recovery Mode and the .zip is installing it stops and gives me the error "E: Can't Open /sdcard/update3.1.zip No such file or directory Installation Aborted." What am I doing wrong? It's got root access and the .zip itself isn't in any folders .
[Acer Iconia A500] Nucleotide:

[Acer Iconia A500] nexgenasian:
The OP's stock isn't a US (acer_A500_4.010.XX_com_gen2) is it?

Did you just use CWM and update or did u use the standard recovery? Did it give you gen2 after the OTA update? I'm curious since I lost my first backup and I may want to return to stock when 3.2 rolls out.
[Acer Iconia A500] crombiesooner:
To answer your first question, yes, the OP's stock ROM IS the US version. Attached is a pdf that came with the WIFI patch posted on the Acer support site. It details what version you will be coming from/going to after applying the patch based on what region you are in. Hope this helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] ccbadd:
I did the update yesterday and I definitely had to use the standard recovery as CWM would fail every attempt. Afterwords, I received the update notice and was able to update to 4.010.10_com_gen2 via the stock method. So yes, it did give me gen2. Prior to this, all the OTA updates failed to install and I think it was due to the CWM recovery being installed. I also maintained root.
