[Acer Iconia A500] jjnewb:
Just received my first update, it is build number:

Acer_A500_2.6.36.3_4010.30_COM_GEN1 I had Chinese build on, then I updated

to Acer_A500_1.139.04_4.010.22_COM_GEN1. I updated .22 yesterday and the new update arrived when I started tablet about an hour ago. Can't see any difference. I live in Archbald Pennsylvania if that means anything
[Acer Iconia A500] Justray:
Let's make that +2, I also updated from 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 (stock, Mexico) to 4.010.22_COM_GEN1 (USA), now I'm getting 4.010.30_COM_GEN1, I'm currently in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.

Maybe NOW they're pushing the updates worldwide, at least for COM_GEN1 devices, which is GREAT.

BTW is a 44MB download, I recommend to change the title to 4.010.30_COM_GEN1.
[Acer Iconia A500] ninek:
just got the same update. I was also on chinese one and than .22. I don't see any difference at all. I'm from Croatia.
[Acer Iconia A500] loekis:
Dito - Leaked 3.1 > .22 >.30

First install failed, then restored saved recovery and took off sd-card: second try = success.

No differences found yet....

What a world

Off topic but when you are sitting with your little tablet you don't realize the number of people from all over the world is doing the same thing. It is a big beautiful world. If you could would you please put where your from if you reply.

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] Justray:
Nice, I want to download .22 > .30, mine also failed the first time, unroot and you can update, do it before because if it fails you need to download the whole update again ((arg)), root works once updated sweet! so root.

I'm trying factory reset after my backup to see if it works and if does or doesn't wipe Acer recovery and cwm, 'cuz if it does and enter a boot loop then I'm a little screwed, will waste 20 more min of my life unbricking
[Acer Iconia A500] Pazzu510:
same thing. I had the emea stock of mexico, and i updates manualy to the com with the help of the post here at XDA. Got update .30 20 min ago(i was rooted and everything).

I am glad too see that many people are supporting this great product, specially on mexico where the only real competition the xoom and the ipad monopoly.

Anyone knows what does this update fixes?
[Acer Iconia A500] atipon:
same here in Thailand.
[Acer Iconia A500] Justray:
No, no one knows but acer, and acer does not publish a change log or changes.

And no, Xoom is not competition for the iconia, almost $ 4,000.00 pesos more expensive, that is freaking $ 340 US dollars +, and no USB!?, only good thing is a better screen (color depth), hell ipad2 is a lot better option than a Xoom, did I mentioned is cheaper. :eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] Arnieaz:
I also received an update this morning. It was 49 meg and my current release is 4.010.09_com_gen2.

Got mine today, was about 40 mb. The music off when the tablet sleeps or screen off seems to have gone.
[Acer Iconia A500] [XRSIST]:
Got a 44mb update like others. Update went smooth, rebooted and got to 4.010.30_COM_GEN1

Previous rom was from the " Full 3.1 Update (Not OTA) - Acer_A500_4.010.22_COM_GEN1" thread and was rooted.

I'm in Sydney
[Acer Iconia A500] Justray:
Just for the record, that's NOT a rom, is an update, I think, ;-) because it can be installed without anything extra, no root, recovery, or cwm is needed, but is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED those installed and with those do a full back up, just in case something goes wrong.... basically it saves you time and a headache.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
could anybody pull the 4.10.22 to 4.10.30 update and post it to multiupload, since some countries are not getting it right away.
[Acer Iconia A500] xdachrisandroid:
I have a link were you can find the updates:

1. A500_4.010.22_4.010.30_COM_GEN1

2. A500_4.010.30_4.010.38_COM_GEN1

[Eee Pad Transformer General] coachclass:
There's a lot of comparisons between the Thrive and the Transformer because they're both big and heavy. One aspect that the Thrive often gets points for is the user replaceable battery. I guess user replaceable batteries have two advantages:

1. Cheaper to replace the battery after it wears out

2. Possibly have spare battery charged for extended runtime.

In two years time, when the current generation of tablets start needing battery replacements because of wear, I doubt you'll be willing to spend even $50 for a user replaceable battery. There would be much better tablets out by that time. It would make more sense to dock the old tablet and use the nice screen as a picture frame or weather/traffic display.

On the other hand, it might be nice to have a spare battery for extended run time, like when traveling. The 10 hour run time on a Transformer is long enough for domestic flights, but for long overseas flights, extra capacity would be useful. However, user replaceable batteries probably have to be charged inside the device, not externally. And I wonder how much more bulk/weight is added to tablet because of the hardware needed to accommodate replaceable batteries. You need to add outside contacts, battery cover. Real estate on a handheld device is such a premium.

Have you ever replaced the battery on your cell phone? That's the closest comparable device I could think of. For some reason, I would strongly prefer replaceable batteries on my cell phone, but I don't have the same strong preference for my tablet. Maybe because most tablets are too heavy to hold one handed for any amount of time, so I feel any added weight would be a bad design choice.

What are your thoughts?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
That's another good reason to have the dock.

On my recent trip from London to Shanghai, which was a 12 hour flight, I was able to use my TF whilst in the departure lounge waiting for flight to board, and then on the plane for close to the entire duration of the flight.

In use, I did have the TF undocked for the most part, but when I wasn't using it was put straight back into the dock and the battery topped up. The dock also served as a stand for when I wanted to watch videos etc and didn't want to actually hold the TF.

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Q.Entity:
For a cell phone or laptop I prefer to have a user replaceable battery. For the tablet, I have not had such need.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jimmiesmith:
I Agree.

The Thrive really had me interested with the user replaceable battery, but after much thought, I realized that I have had laptops for over three years (IMO around the time to replace) and never had to change a battery, I have had cell phones for 10 years, and never had to replace a battery. So a tablet, that I will want to replace probably in 12-18 months (actually replace in 24-30 months) will still have a very useful battery. The extra weight is not necessary. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] player911:
Yea I agree. If the device is some chinese knockoff then being able to access the battery is nice but for something like this I don't see a need. The only battery I've replaced was my 6 year old laptop about a year ago.

I'm sure in 6 years, the TF's battery issues will be someone else's problem.

I'm sure hobby shops and the likes can take it apart and replace the cells.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
I don't usually keep devices more than a year or two, so I don't have an issue with the sealed battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
I don't care about the battery. I love the ports. And the possibility that one of those indicator lights will eventually be used for notifications.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
It's about as important as whether a company decides to sel any.

If the TF had a replaceable battery I have no confidence they would actually sell any because as of now they can't even sell a god damn replacement AC Adapter.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryan stewart:
For the tablet I am not as concerned because its not usually mission critical and it lasts a long ass time. I love having one for the phone though because sometimes I rape the battery and I gotta have a phone.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neyenlives:
so what do you do on the Transformer if it hangs and you need to do a hard reboot? I know it happens every few weeks with my Fascinate, which I admittedly have been hard on with custom roms and overclocking and what not.....but at some point the thing hard locks and if you can't pull the battery what do you do?

I dont care about replacing it because it needs replacing because i will sell it long before the batteries need replacing, same with cell phones.....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gary13579:
Hold the power button for long enough and it will reboot.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Carl LaFong:
Fact: Battery technology has improved leaps and bounds in just a few short years. They'll last at least five years.

Fact: Almost no one on this forum will keep their tablets beyond 18 months. Moore's Law.

So a replaceable battery is a moot point.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hardy81:
Maybe it can be replaced?

Since the battery is just a piece of electronic equipment inside the tablet, which many people have already opened up, why could it not be replaced? Just not within seconds and would require tools. Anybody thought about this already?

Or am I missing something?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hardy81:
bump bump bump
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SciFer:
But wouldn't a replaceable battery give the seller a better resale value? If I wanted to buy a used TF in say 3-4yrs for whatever reason I know I'm going to most likely have to deal with a battery issue. Unless you sold it low enough I would rather buy the thrive because I know all I would have to do is buy a new battery. I'm assuming this will be much cheaper than replacing a TF battery (labor cost as well, assuming the average user won't try to open it).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] starplaya93:
Lol. Technology devalues so fast that resell value on things like tablets and cell phones is pretty much irrelevant after a year. Even then, no, having a removable battery wouldn't affect it in the least.

longevity quality and demand are really all that matters.

For example; iphone's are still very expensive even a year after they come out when purchased used, Android phones on the other hands (which have removable batteries while iphone doesn't) devalue much faster after a year then do apple products. In this case it's because of demand. There is a new android phone every month, there is a new iphone every year or so...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jpnkevin:
Battery life is dependent on three key factors, typical charge and operating temperature, and the typical charge cycle profile.

Ambient temperature regularly above thirty degrees centigrade can dramatically shorten Li ion cell life.

Not a usual concern for a consumer device user.

Letting the battery charge fall below fifty percent regularly will significantly shorten life.

Cells will lose capacity over time and the capacity after five years can be less than fifty percent of the original capacity.

Thermal design of the device, charge algorithm of the device, and quality of the cell itself also play a roll in battery life of course.

But for a consumer device I won't worry about replaceable batteries much.

One of the reasons Eee Pad is attractive to me is low cost with the expectation of quick obsolescence in twelve to eighteen months.

Think about how many replaced their iPads for iPad2 in less than a years time. Tablets with true Quad-core ARM Cortex A15 processors will be available late 2012.

I don't see much resale value for these early tablet devices.

If you want to use the devices for an enterprise application deployment that lasts say two years replaceable battery would be valuable as the failure rate escalates after one year .

The manufacturer decision to add complexity of a replaceable battery would depend on majority of customer use cases and profitability of replacement battery sales.

Japanese maker's have been known to over-engineer their designs adding cost without much end user value. Good strategy when margins were high to keep competitors out, poison in the current markets.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] myamex:
I never have spare battery for cellphone or laptop, i dont think I will buy extra battery. The dock is good enough.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hagba:
Here is my experience:

My wife has a 2G iphone since october 2007 its battery is almost as good as day one, still last a whole day.

On the other hand I bought spare battery for my HD2 but the poor thing never had the chance to prove being useful, most probably will end its life sitting in the drawer.

I have just ordered a Transformer from the USA

and hope that its battery will be as good as my 6 years old Asus eeepc 1000H which lasts almost 5 hours same as the day it was purchased.

Hope this helps.

[General Questions and Answers] kfarstrider:
I rooted my Asus Transformer TF101-B1, but I can't get into Recovery. I know rooting was successful because I get the # prompt in ADB shell and can run root-only apps like Titanium Backup. I've tried every method for getting into CWM/Recovery that I've been able to turn up on XDA and Google, including:

* Running "adb reboot recovery"

* Holding Power + Vol down during boot, then pressing Vol up within 5 seconds of the device powering on.

* Selecting "reboot into recovery" from the ROM Manager app.

Nothing works, it just does a normal boot every time. I even did a factory reset to try and get into the stock recovery (a suggestion I found on another thread here), but that didn't work, either (and my device still appears to be rooted).

I'm hoping someone out there can provide more insight/advice, as I'm pretty well out of options.

Device info:

Android version: 3.0.1

Kernel: 2.6.36.3-00003-g8038d35, android 'at' Mercury #1

[General Questions and Answers] kfarstrider:
ok, I managed to get into CWM and now my question is, "where can I get the latest version of CWM?" I've seen several posts that just say, "head over to the CWM thread and download the newest version", but they don't give links and I didn't find much searching the forums.

Sorry for being such a n00b... :o
[General Questions and Answers] walther1337:
Im also having a similar problem though my transformer wont do anything after i choose to boot into recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] ferparedes:
How did you get into recovery? No matter what I do it just boots normally. adb doesn't see the tablet anymore either..and I already rooted it so adb *was* working.
[General Questions and Answers] t2xcrzy308us:
For real. I rooted succesfully. Currently trying to flash a rom, but I don't know how to get into CWM.

[General Questions and Answers] jlscarpa:
I used RazorClaw to root my Transformer, yet when I try to reboot into recovery, it gives me the Android with the Caution symbol in the middle. It looks like I cannot get into ClockWorkMod, either.

On www (dot) clockworkmod (dot) com, it does not list the Asus Transformer as being supported with a version of CWM. Rom Manager shows the same thing, so I am forced to select the Xoom or Nook Color.

What are the steps to get from Root to CWM Recovery?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] OrcD3vil:
Ok so I'm at the same part of the problem everyone else is in this thread.

I've done the following steps:

Installed Java SDK

Installed Andriod SDK

Rooted via Razorclaw

device is recognized when i do "adb devices" in command shell

install ROM Manager by Clockwork Mod from App store

tried to boot into recovery while connected to PC using Vol Down + Power Button and I get Android Man with Caution with nothing going further. if I unplug the cable from the PC I can't seem to get into Boot Recovery. I've asked for help in asus-transformer on Freenode.net with no help what so ever. From what I can tell my model is a B50

Any help would be appreciated from what I can peice together on the forums the install order would be

Root

CWM on App Market

CWM Recovery by roach

Nandriod

install ROM

Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Galaxy S II General] tryklon:
Easy question.

Taking into consideration, power, reliability, build quality and possibility of future software updates. Wich of this phones. do you recommend to someone who is going to use the phone with official firmware only, no ROMS.

And if possible, the whys ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Easy Galaxy S2 as it's faster without any of the sense bloatware and it's pretty much the best phone out there, so why settle for second best?

BUT if you like sense then go for the sensation.

And PS you came to a Galaxy S 2 forum so expect the answers to be biased!
[Galaxy S II General] ianford10:
Well i can tell you now that i had to send 4 sensations back for letting dust in under the screen. I was selling this gs2 and im glad i didn't, got so frustrated with the sensations that i popped the seal and have been using it ever since. Also when the sensation gets the sticky ring as i call it you will get that frustrated you may end up launching it at a wall :-)
[Galaxy S II General] bruflot:
Hmm.. I like how the Sensation has that "quality feel".

+The sensation is even more expensive than GS2 :P
[Galaxy S II General] cue_32:
I've played with the Sensation...I'm a fan of Sense and HTC devices altogether along with their features.

I now own a GS2 and I can honestly say, it's better than HTC Sensation.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Simple Answer, GS II :)
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
The GS2 is undoubtely the best smartphone available there is simply no comparison,read the many online reviews for yourself.
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
Galaxy s II of course,,,,, as some1 already said it,,,if u can have the best y settle for the 2nd best
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
what the heck is "the sticky ring" on the sensation?
[Galaxy S II General] nicpol7:
galaxy s2 is better in everything (excluding sense 3.0 )

sensation is heavier..much heavier..metal is not made for phones..galaxy s2 plastic is very high quality...

screen has high resolution but is a very poor quality lcd..can not compare with the s amoled plus..no way..

ram is less and no internal ext4 storage..no sd cart can be faster than internal memory so galaxy s 2 will always be faster...

battery is 1500..galaxy s2 with the battery drain sorted can last much more..
[Galaxy S II General] ianford10:
The unlock ring to unlock the phone gets very unresponsive, to the point it can take 5 or more attempts to unlock. Then once in you can launch an app then hit back button and that is unresponsive for upto 5 -9 seconds.

I just call it sticky ring as that's just how it feels :-)
[Galaxy S II General] GuestK00431:
Owned both and I stuck with the GS2 its much better. Sensation may feel nice in the hand but the death grip is very real so it went back.

Gs2 is simply the best on the market now.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Its "quality feel" isn't so much any more. The volume rocker has fallen off a few, dust gets under the screen, the power button's crooked, the back cover's delaminating, and there's display touch issues (may be software). If you read their forum, it's not a happy place.

P.S. - The SGS2 is more than the Sensation, at least in the U.K.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
My Sensation works perfectly as does my SGS2. I've had ever dual core device currently out including the Evo3d (which IMO is better than the Sensation). That being said, there are devices than their is the SGS2. It's not only the best Android device available, but may be the best device currently on the market.
[Galaxy S II General] saifbechan:
I choose the GS2, had no regrets.
