i know this is a question, but really more of a rant... Im still sitting here at 836.. and i really have to pee now... gahhh samsung! Making my bladder hurt too!
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
If they have a chat service, possibly that?
[Epic 4G General] darkpoe:
Yeah thats what i said I did.. here is the log :-p

Sheila: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?

Visitor: Yeah, I had an Epic 4g given to me as a gift and sprint told me to contact samsung since I didnt purchase it directly from sprint

Sheila: May I know the question you have for me on Epic?

Visitor: I am having an issue where the touchscreen stops working when the keyboard is open. Sometimes the touchscreen even after closing will still not work.. I have also been losing my stored email accounts and have had to factory reset it every week or so as directed by sprint support.

Sheila: I am sorry for the inconvenience being caused to you.

Sheila: Since how long you were experiencing this issue?

Visitor: about two months now, sprint kept putting me off seeing if they would handle the warranty and they finally told me to contact samsung directly

Sheila: I see.

Sheila: Have you tried any troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue?

Visitor: I know its less then a year old since the phone has not even been out a yar, but they didnt care since i didnt purchase directly from them myself

Visitor: Ive done a factory reset almost every week

Visitor: and they had me do something in recovery

Visitor: i also took it to the sprint store and they said they reloaded it

Sheila: I see.

Sheila: Do you have a screen protector cover on the phone?

Visitor: no

Visitor: I hate those things

Sheila: Okay.

Visitor: and it only happens after i slide the keyboard open

Visitor: to shut it down i have to hit the power button and then use the arrow keys on the keyboard

Visitor: The last time i tried pulling the battery it stopped booting and I had to take it to the sprint store

Sheila: As you have performed factory reset on the phone it clearly indicates that the issue is with the phone's hardware and it needs physical diagnosis in order to get it fixed.

Sheila: I see.

Visitor: The issue I see from your website is that this was a gift to me and I have no receipt

Sheila: However, not to worry, please file a service request for the phone, am I sure you will get it fixed by our service technician.

Sheila: You need to contact our voice support team to file service request.

Visitor: Ok

Visitor: Am i going to have to go over this with them again or is there a case number

Sheila: You need to just explain the issue and troubleshooting steps you have performed they will process you further for service request.

Sheila: You can reach them at 1-877-EZ2GALAXY (1-877-392-4252).

ok.. didnt take it to the sprint store the last time.. i odined it
[Epic 4G General] darkpoe:
well i give up with samsung... 2hrs 37minutesd on hold
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Since the phone is under a year old and I'm assuming hasn't been dropped take it to a Sprint repair center, they don't care where you got it from and they should repair it for free or at most $35.
[Epic 4G General] darkpoe:
I went to sprint corporate store and repair center.. they sent me to samsung :\
[Epic 4G General] darkpoe:
yay 3.5 hours at the sprint store... about 8:55 before they were closing they gave it back and said it was fine... funny thing was that the touchscreen was not functioning with the keyboard closed and I handed it right back... tech didnt believe it... they changed my screen for $35 and it seems i have a whole new body and they put on a screen protector for me ... took them another hour.... no one liked me keeping them there to almost 10

Now that 3.1 is finally out is everyone pretty satisfied with it? I know I am. Seems like a very smooth tablet experience now. Feel sorry for the guys who traded in there Iconia's and couldn't wait for the update.
[Acer Iconia A500] Labby Road:
It's pretty good, although my A500 was already pretty responsive with 3.0. Still, I do notice a slight improvement.
[Acer Iconia A500] gstrou86:
One of the biggest improvements i noticed off the bat was youtube. Loads great now without stuttering.
[Acer Iconia A500] karlkarloff:
I gotta say the mouse support is pretty spiffy. Overall it seems a lot smoother and snappier. I haven't tested it fully yet, but video support is definately better. It now seems to play all the videos that my Gtab plays. The one semi-disappointment is that while some widgets can be re-sized, I can't seem to make them smaller. They go bigger no problem, but smaller is a no-go on all the ones i've tried.
[Acer Iconia A500] rquinn19:
I'm kinda confused by this...

Why do you say that? If anything I feel sorry for you that it took you so long to experience 3.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] gstrou86:
Im talking about the people who got rid of there Iconia and couldn't wait for an update to be released. I'm not hating on the Chinese version or the Asus version of 3.1 :)
[Acer Iconia A500] ahernandez4110:
I love it know and my YouTube plays nice...
[Acer Iconia A500] brutalpanda:
anyone having problems with mouse support? my mouse at the office doesn't work but the one I have at home works perfectly!
[Acer Iconia A500] ingrouille:
don't notice any difference

To be honest I don't really notice a difference. After the first rebot I actually found the performance slower. Rebooted once more and it now runs much like it did before. I think I'm one of the fortunate ones who didn't experience any issues under 3.0.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] patterson12123:
No support for Xbox 360 controllers at this point, the ring just keeps blinking.
[Acer Iconia A500] San Pedro:
It seems like it fixed cell stand by issue :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] OffcerClancy:
Mine is rooted running Virtuous Asus w/Thor's latest. I have not seen, read, or experienced anything that has convinced me to jump on 3.1. I am very happy to keep my current rig and wait for a nice stable custom ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] speeddaddy:
I can now plug my digital camera into the A500 and with 1 click have all my pics download:)
[Acer Iconia A500] dasudevil:
it is a nice improvement from 3.0 . Then again this would be my first real update on any android software going back to the original mt3g days.

I have noticed that my wifi icon shows that I have horrible connection even when I'm next to the router. Snappier, nicer, better feel I am glad I forced my wife to buy this and the fact that xda talks all about this unit.

If it was not for y'all I would be lost.

[Acer Iconia A500] backudog:
Although my tablet does seem a bit smoother now, it refuses to play any of my videos i put on there (moboplayer, arcmediapro, act 1, rockplayer lite, none seem to work now?) gonna try moving the vids to "movies" folder and trying the stock player and see what happens.
[Acer Iconia A500] Chaz36:
Is it me or does it seem that the random shut downs are not happening anymore with 3.1?

Im monitoring for a while now, i havent had none yet.

It was the only thing i was bothered with a bit, but it would never occur to me, to trade the A500 for another tablet, im loving it since day one.
[Acer Iconia A500] spike1969:
One thing I've noticed is video playback is a lot better. Rockplayer lite and moboplayer work fine on mine although mobo sometimes fcs. I'm sure rockplayer didn't let me play vids in hardware decoding mode before. It would always fail but now it works.
[Acer Iconia A500] ingrouille:
I had the same issue in Moboplayer and change the settings to be "Soft decoding by default" This seems to have fixed the issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] FooFooNZ:
Since 3.1 I seem to get randomly booted out of the browser, but not a proper force close. I do lose all open tabs.

Also the onscreen keyboard now seems a lot more laggy
[Acer Iconia A500] snickle:
3.1 wass not bad. Better than 3.01, but still a little sluggish compared to virtuous galaxy. I am headed back to that rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] Ceger:
The tablet experience has been rock solid since updating to the official Acer 3.1. I have had no issues yet and the tablet has stopped its random reboots and lock ups.

Loving it all the more now. And battery has been vastly improved.

[Acer Iconia A500] Oskiee:
Im seriously happy with it. A lot of the little things that were annoying me like going back in the market no longer goes all the way to the top of list anymore... though for the life of me i still cant figure out how to write comments....

the launcher is also a lot faster and smoother, and playing with the unlock thing (i like the swirlys!!!) no longer lags like mad after a couple seconds.

Also hitting the home button takes you back to the screen you left on on, instead of the main screen.

All i need now is a better designed market, and a way to clear notifications en mass and ill be slightly happier than i am now...

Oh, and a bad ass psx emulator so i can play FF7....
[Acer Iconia A500] chipadair:
Happy with 3.1, but........

When I was one of the first to get the OTA update to 3.1 bright and early on July 5th, I was excited.

I played with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, played with resizing the widgets, and a few other updates, I couldn't have been happier.

Cut to the morning of July 6th, I was moving from my home network to my Sprint mifi and it refused to connect.

The wifi would search.. authenticating... getting ip address.... disconnected... over and over. Tried to connect to various wifi hotspots, all with the same results. Rebooted the tablet, no go. Finally ended up doing a full reset and everything came back up normally (well, except I had to reinstall & reconfigure everything).

Honeycomb 3.1 was zippier than ever, everything seemed to be working perfect.

THEN... moving between my office and my home hotspot, boom, would no longer connect. Same symptoms as above. This time, I turned the tablet off, waited a couple of hours, turned it back on, and all is well.

After doing some searching, found a whole XDA thread regarding this very thing, and the fix is to remove a file that you need to have root access to remove.

I have not rooted (nor do I plan to root) my device.

This morning I read that Acer has pulled the official release, and will be releasing a new version soon. I hope the new version 1> comes to us that updated already, quickly.. and 2> fixes the networking problem! This will not do!

Chip
[Acer Iconia A500] Oskiee:
:O( i havent had any of those issues. ive gone from my phones hotspot to my wifi at work to my wifi at my house all with no problems.
[Acer Iconia A500] ferds:
its a mixed bag

Well there are improvements and new bugs, moboplayer only plays on software decode, and launcher just crashed on me while I was fiddling with news 360 widget, and I just noticed that the keyboard lags on browser, (its a pain typing this post) but thankkfully not on docs2go. On the brighter side, the stock browser is more stable, and UI feels more responsive, plus of course the new features are all welcome.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
The desktop mode in the browser doesn't work.....can anyone confirm this?
[Acer Iconia A500] ferds:
It does on mine, but I've read another post that mentioned the same bug.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Is there a fix for that??
[Acer Iconia A500] ferds:
Keyboard also lags with dolphin browser. This is a major bug that they should fix, stat. Just wish that someone from Acer is monitoring this forum.
[Acer Iconia A500] ferds:
Don't know but you can try clearing history and cache, if it doesn't work you can always download dolphin browser and install the plug in for desktop view.
[Acer Iconia A500] nithos1:
Same happened to me. Was working great for a week and then the only way I could connect on my home network this morning was to assign a static IP. But that isn't allowed on my work network, so I did a factory reset. Only now I can't get past the setup, since I can't authorize the device on my work network. It's just been one of those days.
[Acer Iconia A500] pacificwing:
I haven't noticed much of an improvement with 3.1 to be honest. It didn't solve my GPS problems as I was hoping, and the re-sizable widgets aren't very useful for me, since I mainly use the e-mail widget which never seems to populate more than 3 e-mails.

The main bonus of 3.1 is that I can actually import photos off my camera and iphone 3gs via the USB port. It also actually charges my iphone and e-reader, which is awesome. That feature is worth the price of admission alone.
[Acer Iconia A500] sgdossey:
I didn't notice much of a difference going to 3.1. If using the wifi policy to turn off, it still randomly turned back on and wasted battery life just like before and it actually takes much longer to wake up than before. I went back to manually turning off the wifi when I am done with a widget and it stopped the waking up and the lag after turning the unit back on.

Other than that it has been fine and i like the browser better.
[Acer Iconia A500] fogozito:
i was on 3.0.1 for like 20 mins lol, but virtuous made my iconia AWESOME!!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] bigwavesurfer4:
so what do you guys think? So far most if not all of the honeycomb tablets are sporting similar (not exact) specs. If you could do it all over again after your 3.1 update, would you still buy the iconia over the galaxy, xoom, and assus (toshiba, sony etc etc etc)?

Further to my recent post .....

I noticed on a 'QR Reader ' app that it seemed to invoke a 'raster effect ' overlayed ? on screen.

This method - an adjustable speed raster overlay - sounds as if it could be feasible to freeze spinning objects.......

What do you guys think ???

[Acer Iconia A500] HD87:
so I had replaced the original WPA-suplicant file so I could connect to ad hoc networks. Had lost the original WPA file. someone posted up a copy of the original. uploaded to tab. replaced the old (Ad hoc friendly) with "original", now my Wi-Fi states ERROR, rebooted PC, same, put in the other WPA-supplicant file I had originally, still getting the same ERROR on Wi-Fi. any suggestions? something tells me I was suppose to disabled wifi before I did that, forgot.. chit..

FIX:

had to hold on the WPA_SUPPLICANT file and select view permissions

check/tick all the boxes in the first two columns and the first 2 in the last column.

Wifi is back ON! (THANK GOODNESS!!)

now to see if 3.1 installs.. wish me luck!
[Acer Iconia A500] HD87:
Nope. 3.1 failed to install... OMG!!! >,<

So I dont have my original WPA_Supplicant file.

Someone on another thread posted up theyre original WPA_Supplicant file.

I replaced the old one with his original one.

I did not make any other changes to my tab when I had root.

What could be the problem? anyway to bypass this & get 3.1 installed?
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
I did similar and it completely f*cked me up.

I factory reset and now my wifi just scans with out anything coming up. UGH.
[Acer Iconia A500] bigjuju4fr:
Here is the fix for your issue..

i had exactly the same problem that you described and this file (original wpa_supplicant.zip) helped and solved my issue..i'm now running Honeycomb 3.1

Solution posted by Bob here: (just correct the "www" on the link below before opening)

w w w.androidtablets.net/forum/acer-iconia-tab-a500-forum/18444-update-failed-help.html

Here's the WPA_Supplicant from my A500, after the 3.1 update. Hope this works for you guys.

I'm not sure what the extension is for the A500, but I had to add .zip to be able to upload it. Try removing the .zip before using it. Also, remove the 'original'. I added that to keep it straight on my tablet.

Good Luck.

Bob

p.s: sorry i'm a newbie here and can't post any link outside the forum at the moment..

just follow the steps described by Bob!
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
No luck. Every wpa_supp file that I try just gives me an error.
[Acer Iconia A500] bigjuju4fr:
did you change the permissions on the file after copying that on /system/bin?

with gingerbreak.apk, you have to root ur device.(download and install gingerbeak.apk!! is available here in forum)

Then i used "es file explorer" (file explorer with root permissions) from the market. In the settings of the program, go to the root options and check the available two boxes before you copy the file in the system directory.

After copying the file, change the permissions as follow:

you have to check all the boxes for the first 2 columns and the first 2 for the last column; so at the end you should have: rwxrwxrw-

After that, go again on the settings of the program,

1. uncheck the two boxes,

2. go to installed gingerbreak app and unroot your device.. --> device will restart

after the restart go to the system from settings of the device and check if an update is available to your device and download it.. then install

it will work.

Good Luck

Claude
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
Ahh yes, that's it. I remember that originally, but I couldn't remember what the permissions settings were for and that was it!

Thanks,
[Acer Iconia A500] A.C. 1982:
could someone please post the original wpa_supplicant file?

If i try to extract the file i get "cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive." Im at a lost so any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[G Tablet General] j0hnny_5:
Okay I am so addicted to this game, but after the Amazon official app kept freezing on me, i ran into a Tablet Optimized apk of plants vs zombies off google "just google plants vs zombies HD apk" well its noted that a tegra 2 is required to run the game. well afyer sideloading it I was stunned to see the vast improvement in graphics, I was so excited, so then after starting a new adventure, i came to notice all the sprites "Zombies and plants" show up as solid black boxes...... so i want to see if anyone has had sucess running this HD version of the game on their gtabs. ive also noticed this same phenomenon on Vendetta online.. or if anyone knows what is causing the black boxes to show instead of the graphics.... a friend of mine told me to try and install chainfire 3d to lower the detail of the graphics, which does in fact fix the black box issue, but leaves the whole background completely trashed. im stuck. I WANT TO GET THIS GAME TO WORK ON MY GTAB lol:confused:
[G Tablet General] tenet420:
On what ROM?
[G Tablet General] j0hnny_5:
im running it on Cyanogen Mod 7.0.3, i tried it on honeycomb, but would not make it past the lading screen..
[G Tablet General] imdaman99:
I know this is not what you wanna hear, but it only works perfectly on Vegan 5.1.1 stock kernel. I installed that and haven't looked back since. I miss the bells and whistles of Vegan GE but 5.1.1 ain't so bad. In a few days I will probably install Calkulin with the 5.1.1 kernel. There is no chance that it will work on Cya at the moment. You have to learn to accept it.
[G Tablet General] j0hnny_5:
when i use chainfire 3d, and reduce texture quality, im able to load up the sprites, but makes the backroung all funky, but this makes the game playable... but not enjoyable....
[G Tablet General] j0hnny_5:
imdaman ur thinking about the official plants vs zombies app from amazon, this is the HD tegra 2 version ripped from a lenovo Lepad i believe.... i tried this on vegan tab rom, and still get the same issue.... in thinking this has to do with our tabs ram being only 512mb instead of 1gb
[G Tablet General] wtang:
I had the same problem with this HD version of Plants vs Zombies. The Amazon version was freezing for me as well so I sideloaded this HD version on my Gtab running Vegan 5.1.1. The kicker is this HD version looks great and doesn't freeze, but I can't see the plants and zombies... just black blocks. If you get this HD version working please let us know how you did it.

Also, you may want to post this question in the Apps & Themes section because you may get more responses over there.
[G Tablet General] Xargon321:
load chainfire 3d and install the driver. go into chainfire and check the option to lower texture quality. load plants vs zombies hd and start the game when you see the preview of the zombies starting press the home button. then go into the game again this should cause the background texture to display properly or it will be a black background but when the level actually start the background should pop into place.

this fix seems to work until you go back to the menu then it garbles back up quit out of the game completely and restart to redo the trick

I just had an idea. If the problem is that the GTab doesn't have enough memory, maybe it will help to run a swap file. You know, something like Swapper2 in the Androiod Market. Has anyone ever tried to run Swapper2 on the GTab?
