No, that's totally impractical, sorry.

THAT's a practical solution ;)

I'm very happy with it, cause it works in ALL devices needing SD or microSD. I can shoot photos with my Canon G12, take out the card adapter and put the microSD directly into the TF to view the photos.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] mocelet2000:
Of course, if you use microSD cards in your camera then you don't have to read SD cards, which makes this thread useless for you xD

However, for that particular problem, I don't have good experience using microSD adapters in digital cameras, I'm glad you do. It wouldn't be the first time I have to remove the adapter and put it again in the camera because I was getting reading/writing errors because of a bad contact.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Aymara:
I got me a pair of micro SD plus SD adapter from Samsung and it works like a charm ;)

I only paid 12 Euro for this set (8 GB) including storage box.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Aymara:
Regarding Germany's biggest electronics shop the official Asus USB adapter will be available on 15th July for around 20 Euros. I hope so, cause my DSLR uses CF cards and I need a reader.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] mocelet2000:
Yes, thanks, I meant an actual cable, the Asus USB adapter is a somewhat bulky box, like the Camera Kit of the iPad.

And who guess about stock, finding accesories for the Transformer is almost impossible now. In local shops here in Spain it's just impossible, no separate dock, no cases, no chargers, no propietary cables, nothing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Aymara:
Yes, the same in Germany except the dock. I think the rest will follow until the end of the month, maybe sooner.

The 16 GB TF is available since a few days here ... so far only the 32 GB version was available.
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
Yesterday my tablet offered to update, but it failed the update - tried twice. The only thing I've done is root the tablet, I haven't uninstalled any default apps or anything.

I figured no big deal I'd try at work from my development machine today where I could unroot it and check adb logs and such.

Today I check for updates and I get "Your device is up to date" but I'm still on 3.0.1.

--- UPDATE ---

Checked the devel forum and found that this appears to be the case - they pulled the update and promise a new build tomorrow:

hmmm, I wonder if it's anything to do with getting kicked out of the browser on a regular basis since I installed 3.1. And maybe the laggy keyboard?
[Acer Iconia A500] simonsgray:
so.. what'll happen if you successfully updated and aren't having any problems?
[Acer Iconia A500] orbix:
Seems like nothing if you already have 3.1 installed successfully... My tablet is still on 3.1 with no issues there.
[Acer Iconia A500] eersfanpilot:
I got a message to update to 3.1 today and have tried 3 times to apply the update, failed each time. I have unrooted, factory reset, and still failed. I am hoping that it is on ACER's end and not something in my tab.

My tablet is back to stock and still only gets 1/4 of the way through the application of the update before getting the orange ! in a triangle.

I spoke to ACER yesterday. They said there is a known problem with the 3.1 update and they should be releasing a new one soon. I asked how soon, but got no response. Once I got the update notification today, I thought maybe it was the new one?? Guess not.

Model: A500

Version: 3.0.1

Kernal: 2.6.36.3-00001-g9b3ce2b

Build: 1.104.02_COM_GEN1

EDIT: I am in ATL and bought my tablet from BestBuy in Kennesaw GA opening weekend.

Any advice?
[Acer Iconia A500] kinnerc:
I, also, am having no operating system issues with 3.1. Overdrive Media Console has gone flakey with respect to audiobooks, but I was blaming that on OMC, not 3.1. I was very surprised to learn that Acer pulled the update. This begs the question, of course, what will happen with regard to the new update for those of us who successfully updated to 3.1? I had no problems and I had a rooted tablet, but had not made any other modifications.

[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Is there a source other than what someone on XDA has "said"?

People lie. I'm not saying the original user lied but I've already seen a few posts linking to that one claiming along the lines, that 'Acer has said they pulled the update' when there is absolutely no official source.

The update has worked and is working for many of us. A friend of mine also got an update yesterday, which doesn't fall in line with the update being 'pulled' by Acer.

As you can see, many of us are getting different builds. What I SUSPECT is the case, is people are rooting and changing their build.props and it's confusing the update procedure on some units. People who don't know the ups and downs of rooting have done just that. They've switched files and components, wpa supplicant files etc. and noone knows the exact process that the device/software users to grab an update. This is just complete speculation on my part, I updated fine and so did a friend of mine that owns it. I did not root, he did not root. We both got the same build of 3.1 and he got his weeks after I got mine.

The point of my message is this, post rumor or something in the title so people don't just read your message and run with it. Because down the line, people are going to quote your thread as well and then lots of people will think "Acer pulled the update!, what's wrong with the one it put out originally!?" and that isn't necessarily the actual case.
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
It does explain how I was able to get the update days ago, but now cannot.
[Acer Iconia A500] HamerPlyr:
Quick question: If the "No update Your device is up to date" window somehow managed to appear thousands of times in a relatively short period of time, is it possible that it will permanently burn itself into my display? Thanks for your help. (lol)
[Acer Iconia A500] zolhof:
I'm not rooted, didn't change at all my A500 and yet can't update my tablet. "your device is up to date" :(
[Acer Iconia A500] TFordham:
Be patient young padowan....it will come. Or use a ROM like I did. 3.1 working flawlessly.
[Acer Iconia A500] BlakeACullum:
Which rom do you suggest?
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
It absolutely does not. This happens on phones as well. If your device is showing an update and you decide to factory reset or even reboot before you download the update, there is a possibility that you're moved down a bit in the server queue.

It's very rare that it happen on a reboot, but it is def. possible if you do a factory reset. Any number of things can explain a stalled update, it doesn't at all mean Acer pulled it.

I'm still waiting for an official source...nothing so far on Acer's FB or anything like that. If anyone could provide one, that'd be great.
[Acer Iconia A500] rasmith3530:
I just bought my new A500 yesterday. It is not rooted. When I connected to my home network for the first time, I received a message telling me that an update was available. I assumed it was the 3.1 that everyone was talking about. It downloaded and installed with nary a hitch. I got confirmation of successful update. After the update, I realized that I was having some of the same issues that others were talking about, namely a dodgy keyboard and the inability to activate CAPS Lock. It is then that I discovered that I had NOT received the 3.1 upgrade, but rather, something below. Here is what I found when I looked at Settings > About device.

Android Version: 3.0.1

Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3

Build Number: ACER_A500_1.141.07_COM_GEN1

Whatever version this is, it too is not quite ready for prime time. I hope they release a reliable update soon!
[Acer Iconia A500] captfx:
That is the Build that I had to be at before I was moved to Build Number ACER_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2 and VER 3.1.

Good luck with your new A500 hope you like it as much as I like mine.
[Acer Iconia A500] mnaderi:
ok, i just got off the phone with a senior acer tech, yes and actual technician not from india. So this should put your mind at ease. Acer sold more units then they expected and it resulted in google not having enough server to service all of the android devices. So for example acer put out 4 million units but there is only 3.7 million on the google registery as of yet. all the people including my self that have 2 units and one updated and on didn't will have to wait a little. PS the 3.1 update is loaded with bugs as well. Don't think it's the holy grail.

problems with 3.1 are less then 3.0.1 but they are there like random closes, slow downs even though it's doing nothing, late coming out of sleep and wifi issues and still no support for external hard drive, and most keyboards don't work.

all in all if you don't have it yet it's coming, if you do well wish and hope for 3.2 update soon :) like me

You're kidding - and after I got right royally slapped for saying exactly the same thing a month ago.

[Acer Iconia A500] tekmoe:
lolz @ mnaderi. my experience has been completely opposite. i've been on 3.1 for about a week now and it's waaaaay better than 3.0.1. the browser is much smoother and rarely ever force closes. hooked up my keyboard and mouse, no issues at all. hdmi out to my 1080p tv. everything is working great. i will admit it does have a few bugs here and there but compared to 3.0.1 it is a very nice improvement. i've had far less issues. i'm even using the stock launcher because i can resize the widgets now. was using launcher pro previously. all in all, a great update. still waiting for my mom's iconia to say its ready to be updated to 3.1. got the 1.141 update last night.

btw, i've never rooted my iconia. these things are too new, it's not worth rooting right now because the development is so weak. i'll give it another 6 months when we start seeing some really nice custom ROM's from some of the amazing developers on xda.
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
I agree that development is weak, but I root for getting rid of ads and access to all folders (and a restart button on screen).
[Acer Iconia A500] boganslaw:
Some 3.1 info this morning re update for peeps in AU and NZ.

Acer Dude: Okay what's actually happening is we have many devices which are trying to update at one time. What has been done to make sure our servers do not crash whilst the updating is being downloaded is to only allow a limited amount of users to update at any given time.

Acer Dude: At the moment our servers service both Australia and New Zealand.

Acer Dude: I would suggest waiting a few for days just to let the number of updates lessen.

So there you go, sold to many units.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TEKKxSUPP0RT:
Hey guys,

Im wondering what ROM will give me the least amount of problems. CM7 Ginger Bread, or VEgan Ginger Bread (Both Clemyns, and stable builds)

-TEKK
[EVO 4G Android Development] MultiDev:
As many of you know, wireless N support was removed in all the GB updates for the Evo (both the 4.22 and 4.24 stock ROMs lack Wireless N support). The newest OTA, 4.53, also lacks wireless n support.

Luckily, xHausx has kindly modified the stock driver to include N support. He provided me a copy of the driver and I turned it into a flashable zip.

This zip has been tested by me on the stock 4.24 deodexed ROM provided by xHausx available here. It should work on odexed version as well as any other 4.24 based ROM (like Fresh EVO 4.2 etc.). The 4.53 zip has been tested on the stock OTA 4.53 available here.

For 4.53 ROMs, please use the zips labeled with 4.53 instead of 4.24. The 4.53 zips have been kindly provided by ca1ne.

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING METHODS REQUIRE THE REPLACEMENT OF A DRIVER. NANDROID BEFORE APPLYING.

----Method 1: Flashing the zip----

-Turn off wifi.

-Reboot into recovery.

-Flash the zip '4.24 WiFi N fix-signed.zip' or '4.53 Wifi N signed.zip' provided below. If you use Clockwork 3/5 Recovery, it does not support amend scripting. You will need to use the edify version instead. Simply download '4.24_WiFi_N_fix_Edify_2011_0713_signed.zip', provided courtesy of Smurph82**. The 4.53 should work with Clockwork 3/5 Recovery. The zip will wipe cache and dalvik cache, so the initial boot will take a few minutes longer. Be patient.*

-Reboot.

----Method 2: Manually replacing the driver----

This method is for those that do not want to flash a zip or cannot get the zip to flash.

-Download and extract the right zip file for your ROM. All 4.24 zips and 4.53 zips are labeled as such. Either zip should give you a 'bcm4329.ko' file.

-Move the 'bcm4329.ko' file to SD card on your Evo.

-Disable wifi.

-Open Root explorer (or similar file utility with system partition capabilities)

-Navigate to '/system/lib/modules'

-(Optional) Rename 'bcm4329.ko' to 'bcm4329.ko.bak'.

-Now move the downloaded 'bcm4329.ko' from your SD card to '/system/lib/modules'.

-Change the permission of 'bcm4329.ko' to 'rw-r--r--'. It should match the permission of all the other files in the folder.

-Reboot to recovery.

-Wipe dalvik cache and cache.*

-Reboot.

*I'm not sure wiping the caches is absolutely necessary, but do it just in case to prevent any problems.

**The edify version should work now. Thanks for the help, Smurph82.

----Compatible ROMs----

This fix has been confirmed as working on the following ROMs:

-Stock 4.24 ROM deodexed (linked to above)

-Stock 4.53 ROM deodexed (linked to above)

-Synergy RC1

-Fresh Evo 4.2

*I'm going to stop updating this list as most ROM chefs are baking this fix into their ROMs. If your ROM does include this fix and this fix works on that ROM, please reply to this thread or PM me with the name and version of the ROM and I will add it to this list.

----FAQ:----

What will this fix work on?

This fix is for 4.24 or 4.53 sense based ROMs only using the HTC #1 kernel. The driver is kernel specfic. If you or your ROM uses a custom kernel, do NOT flash this. It will break your wifi. Most custom kernels like Freedom already include wifi n support.

I have CM7, MIUI, or some random ASOP ROM. Will this fix work on those ROMs?

It will NOT work on CM7/ASOP ROMs at all. Do NOT flash this onto a non-sense ROM. CM7 already has Wifi N support build into the ROM. Flashing this on an ASOP will break wifi on that ROM and who knows what else.

I tested my internet speeds using the speedtest.net app (or similar). My speed hasn't changed after this fix. Why?

Speedtest (and similar) tests your WAN speed; basically how fast your internet connection is. The only way to increase your internet speed is to call up your ISP and upgrade your internet package. Now some of you lucky bastards might have FIOS or Comcast DOCSIS 3.0 in which case your WAN speed is higher than the max speeds possible on Wireless G. In this specific case, your speedtest should be faster on your phone after this fix since wireless n has faster possible throughput.

If this fix doesn't increase my internet speed like you said above, why should I use it?

This fix allows you to use your Evo on a wireless n network. This has many advantages. First, wireless n allows a much faster wireless LAN connection. A faster LAN connection allows you to sync files, musics, videos etc. with your other computers faster. Second, Wireless N supports a greater ranger and you can move further away from your router while still maintaining a connection. Third, any g device you add onto your wireless network will slow down all other connections (including other n devices) to g-speeds. By allowing the Evo to connect on wireless n, your Evo no longer will slow down the wireless connections of other wireless n devices.

For me, the Evo was my only g-only device. Once I had wireless n support on it. I could and did set my router to Greenfield 802.11n-only mode (though if you have other g-only devices you can't). This allows you to get the fastest possible speeds on your wireless LAN or the greatest range (though not both).

I have a dual band router. My Evo cannot connect on the 5 GHZ band wireless n. Why not?

The Broadcom chip inside the Evo does not support the 5 GHZ band. Please use the 2.4 GHZ band for wireless N.

Does this affect battery life?

No. What wireless mode the Broadcom chip is running in does not affect the power drain in any meaningful or noticeable way. Only turning on/off the wifi cheap altogether will affect battery life.

How can you tell if your connected @ N speed? I've never been able to figure that out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mystery_tx_man:
Wireless G speed is 54Mbps. If you get faster than that then it is N speed. It depends on the settings of the router and the type of wifi card with how fast of a connection you will get. I set my router to N only and I get 65 Mbps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gershee:
any word on if this works with CM7 RC1 and does this drain more battery while using wifi with g not n?

thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eeeeeeeeek:

[EVO 4G Android Development] gershee:
i want to flash this on cm7. any word?
[EVO 4G Android Development] One4mNoWhere:
I get 65mbs after flashing
[EVO 4G Android Development] MultiDev:
This fix is for 4.24 sense based ROMs only.

It will NOT work on CM7/ASOP ROMs at all. Do NOT flash this onto a non-sense ROM. If I recall correctly, CM7 should already have Wifi N support build into the ROM. (Let me know if this isn't the case and I will look into it.)

I will update the first post to clarify this.

Wireless N support is easy to test. Simply set your router 802.11n only mode (also called Greenfield mode on some routers). If you can connect, you're good. What speed you get does not necessarily reflect the type of wifi used.

Keep in mind the Evo's hardware does NOT support 5ghz 802.11n, only 2.4 ghz. Make sure to use the 2.4ghz band on dual band routers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] WalleO:
I also get 65. i can confirm this patch works
[EVO 4G Android Development] skydeaner:
I think 72mbps is the maximum it supports if that is your question. I rarely get that much though. Most of the time it stays at 65 even with great signal strength right next to an awesome router.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mystery_tx_man:
I think the problem might be with the router config. Make sure the router is set to n only, channels 1, 6, or 11, and encryption set to aes only.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Huskies88:
Yeah not sure why no one reads but its for sense roms only, im running decks 1.2 aosp rom and highest speed i have had is 65mbps with my N router, so its implemented in that rom

[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
The wifi modules are paired with the kernel so it's very specific about what it will and will not work with. For this to work you'll only want to use it with the HTC #1 kernel, using it with any other one will break your wifi and you'll have to reflash the kernel to fix it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yowhatup:
Silly question, but how are you getting Wifi speed? Using speedtest or something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mystery_tx_man:
Just go into settings, wireless and networks, wifi settings on your phone. Long press on the wifi connection and you should get the speed.

Did you just hex edit out the nmode, or are there other tweaks?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
I hex edit the nmode. Since HTC is in violation of the GPL by not posting the kernel source there isn't a whole lot that can be done with it atm.

Try this with the CWM v3+. This is a Edify script it should work. The driver is the same one from the original post.

UPDATE 2011_0712 12:27 pm

The attached zip has been updated and should be working now Sorry about the formatting issues with Edify there are two ways of formatting one with two variables and one with three variables. It should work now. I have tested the formatting part on my Evo now and everything runs fine for me. Again let me know if there are any problems. Thanks

[EVO 4G Android Development] Maddball:
I've always gotten 65m.. Phone's IP is. 103
[EVO 4G Android Development] MultiDev:
CM7 already has 802.11n support in the ROM. This fix is unnecessary for CM7 users and does not work on CM7 anyway.

If you are using the Stock sense ROM (assuming the one linked in the first post), then you need to flash the provided zip.

Once you do, you will get 802.11n support. If you switch to another ROM, you will lose this fix. If you NANDROID your stock sense ROM after applying this fix, but before flashing to CM7, then will the fix will be a part of that NANDROID and you will get it back after restoring that NANDROID.

Hope that helps clarify things.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nagrom Nniuq:
Perfect, thanks.
