[Venue Pro General] DeekoVB5:
Wifi now works flawlessly for me, which is the most important one. I get a full signal at my desk as is so I really can't comment on if that one is improved - considering my signal was very weak at home (fluctuating between 1 bar of 3G and 2 bars of GPRS), I'll have a better idea of that when I get there. I confirm that there are more camera options, although I haven't actually tried taking a picture.

So far, so good!
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
The only issue mu DVP had was the fluctuating signal strength indicator when I was in areas of moderate-low signal. So far after the firmware update my indicator stays the same. Hopefully this means the battery life will improve too. Love my phone!
[Venue Pro General] neogodless:
A little while after the update, my phone was blacked out/off and I had to battery pull to fix that, but otherwise it's been awesome with the new firmware. I was in the middle of nowhere last night and my signal went from 1 bar G to 3-4 bars 3G and anywhere in between, but for the most part data was zipping along.

Downloaded an app, lots of photo uploads and FB app checking and checking radar maps.

WiFi has been on most of the time and works well - without freezing. Downloaded Tentacles finally.
[Venue Pro General] cnjvh:
Same experience here. This morning the phone wouldn't wake up when pushing the button. Had to pull the battery to get the screen back.
[Venue Pro General] cnjvh:
Another screen issue...hmmm...
[Venue Pro General] bbhead91:
8DVP on T-M, updated yesterday. Had my first complete lockup requiring battery pull after update, not a good start. Signal (cell and data) seems to be a little better, but not too sure yet. I forgot to check radio software prior to update and compare after update. Anyone know if that was also updated, or just firmware?
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
My radio software version went from 2.2.50.15 to 2.2.50.18. I had firmware 105 before.

My phone also locked up overnight while charging. Screen would turn on but I couldn't do anything beyond that.
[Venue Pro General] Wyn6:
It appears at first glance that my signal stays on 3G at my house. Before it would fluctuate between 3G, Edge, and G. Haven't seen Edge since the update. Think I saw G on a call. Not having the constant hunting for a signal also appears to have bettered the battery a bit. But, I need a few more days to fully confirm this is the case.

Haven't noticed anything by the way of call quality yet.

Wifi seems to be fixed, though before I didn't have problems with just having wifi on. My issues with it were if I left it on the charger it would lock up at times and if I were DLing a large file from the marketplace.

DL'd PES Soccer (74mb), have had the wifi on since the update and the phone was on the charger overnight. Still ticking.

So, good so far. I haven't voted in the poll as it's only been a day since the Tmo update.

Edit: Looked at the cam settings but haven't tried them.
[Venue Pro General] cnjvh:
So MikeDupp (in the firmware news thread) and Wyn6 report the charging lockup issue previous to the 212 update. Others, myself included, have experienced it for the first time after the 212 update.

Dont know what to make of it.
[Venue Pro General] bbhead91:
pjfan75 - thanks. I also had 105 prior to update.

I've had the plug into charger shutdown procedure numerous times in past (two different devices, always when battery really low). The lockup I had was about 30 minutes after update completed, took device out to make a call and nothing would work until battery was pulled.

Signal is okay, little more stable, still not good. Might just be T-M out in this area.
[Venue Pro General] Homedesigner:
I had the lockup issue shortly after the upgrade as well, however, haven't had one since. It may be that the phone needed to reboot again after the update. While I didn't have any of the issues before the upgrade (I use mostly WiFi with the occasional use of cellular data - I never approached the 200MB limit I currently have),

it does seem to run more smoothly now, especially with 3rd party apps that didn't respond as well (like Drudge Reader Free Edition).

Current info in the about area:

[Venue Pro General] Hypernova:
It's working fine for two days now. Now I'm on Mango 7714. Totally happy at the moment :) Not that I forgive dell though..
[Venue Pro General] jessej:
Have any of the people that experienced a lockup while charging after the update experienced a second lockup after the reset?
[Venue Pro General] roytellect:
I would say this firmware update is great. And it can be better dell release it earlier. With Mango on it, Dell Venue Pro is one of the best phone ever.

And there are still something to improve. At least the camera issue. The hardware is said to be the same as iPhone, so it should have potential to make it better.

I don't know why Dell dismissed the phone department. While almost every computer company is jumping into this market and Dell already made a good start.
[Venue Pro General] Talkstory:
Meh

Two DVPs (16gb on TMo): 1) Wifi is stable, no lockups in 48hrs when there would have been at least four, 2) Camera settings are nice, but cannot be saved, and 3) Signal strength appears improved, but never had issues with dropped calls (Chicago and burbs) or battery life (chargers at home, in car and work). This is where the unit should have been last December, when I got the first of three sets of phones. That being said, if the hardware lasts (minus defective sliders, headphone jacks, USB ports and speakers) I'm looking forward to trouble-free performance, especially w/Mango.

P.S. I've owned several Alfa Romeos, so this sort of masochism is second-nature. But when it works, it works great.
[Venue Pro General] snipboy:
The combination of the new firmware and Mango Beta 7712 has been rock solid for me. It is like a completely different phone. The only drawback? Tethering no longer works! :(
[Venue Pro General] Talkstory:
Tethering still works for me. I thought the same thing when I got a replacement device and could no longer find the Service Center. Call up EM. Tap twice below MMS Settings. Using the keypad, type qwertyuiop and the advanced tests and Service Center will pop up. Follow the usual instructions from there. This worked for both .209 and .212 (just did it based on your comment, thanks!).
[Venue Pro General] cnjvh:
Lockup after the first night only. No issues since then.
[Venue Pro General] roytellect:
I want to raise an important concern. That is to say with Mango, we can use camera and Bing Vision to search object near hand. But unfortunately, the performance of DVP camera is not so good. So that is a serious problem that I wish Dell can fix. After that, I would say DVP will really rock!
[Venue Pro General] 937dytboi:
Had a few quirkie issues in the beginning but those issues have vanished. No battery pulls yet. Haven't really did much with WiFi just yet. But it works better imo
[Venue Pro General] hipzilla:
I've been scanning a bunch of stuff since throwing Mango on my DVP and the camera has been working fine. In fact, my DVP has been taking pretty decent pics since upgrading to the Mango beta.
[Venue Pro General] roytellect:
Great, cannot wait to update to Mango. But what make the difference? Why Pre-Mango pictures are little bit blur? Have any ideas?
[Venue Pro General] venelar:
Mango has "autofix" in the OS. Thus giving you much better pics.
[Venue Pro General] bbhead91:
Things had been going okay with this device since the update until this afternoon, 13 dropped calls (in a row) and two lock UPS (only power button would work).

This device sucks.
[Venue Pro General] marcox92:
More than Firmware

New Firmware + Mango beta 2 and that phone is PERFECT
[Venue Pro General] cnjvh:
2nd lockup on the charger overnight last night. So it is not just a one time thing after the update. Had to do a battery pull to recover again.

Again, never happened once before the 212 udpate.
[Venue Pro General] ducttape36:
have you tried doing a phone reset since the update? could be worth a shot, though you'd have to reinstall all your apps...
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
I've had the phone lockup on me 3 times since installing the new firmware. Each time WiFi was not connected. It's locked up on the lock screen twice and using Yelp once. Never had this happen with the 105 firmware.

If it continues I will probably have to do a warranty exchange.
[Venue Pro General] deepal720:
I've got my DVP last week for $300 unlocked w/T-Mobile. it came w/new firmware out of the box and everything work fine. this phone faster than HTC HD7
[Venue Pro General] tbvnz:
Noone else is missing the option: lockscreen timeout> never, after the update? Or knows how to get it back?
[Venue Pro General] MikeDupp:
I missed it, but could not find a way to get it back and keep the new firmware. I eventually just rolled it back to the old firmware with the backup/restore image that Zune made before installing the new firmware.

I've been lucky enough to have a problem free DVP ever since I first got it back in Dec. I never had any of the freezing, crashing issues a lot of others seemed to have. I had a few issues of my phone not waking up after an overnight charge immediately after the NoDo update, but they passed. The new firmware didn't fix anything for me, but that's because nothing was really broken. The only 2 changes I noticed after the new firmware were the missing Never option for the screen timeout and some inflated Signal Strength readings. Before the new firmware, my DVP would show zero to one bars with an E while in my apartment. Making calls, texting or using data was next to impossible there. With the new firmware, my readings suddenly started to hover between 2 and 3 bars with a 3G icon, but with the same exact ****ty reception I was getting before. I still couldn't make calls, text or use my data plan at home, so that made the improved signal strength readings pretty useless. Since I wasn't getting a single benefit from the new firmware, it made my decision to roll back to the old firmware pretty easy.
[Venue Pro General] Arcarsenal:
Well the one benefit, noticeable to you or not is the ability to finally use almost all of that 512MB of RAM. Without the update you can only use 226 MB, which made loading some apps and using the proper background protocols impossible.

The firmware update it worth it just for that.
[Venue Pro General] MikeDupp:
Do you care to share exactly which apps I will not be able to run with the old firmware?
[Venue Pro General] Arcarsenal:
Angry Birds and other games and applications that cache lots of textures/information. There is a 90MB limt of allocated memory for phones that only have ~256 MB of addressable RAM. I don't have a list of programs that won't run, but plenty will run slower. Other forums members might have some apps to mention.

Background processes and tasks introduced with Mango need the new firmware to function properly, it's an actual limitation of the pre 212 firmware. Below is the first one a few tweets where it was discussed and then shown working with the new firmware.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Ethere:
Is there any way to make incoming SMS picture messages just show the picture instead of a slideshow? I hate having to "pause" a picture I'm looking at, especially if it's just one picture.
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
Some devices in the market tend to have a higher vsel than the CPU need, this may cause hoverheating, and battery drainage.

Anyone ( with S-OFF ) can test lower voltages?

This will be helpful for those who want longer battery life.

thanks

[Android TV General] Br4nd3n:
1) Modern combat 4: MMOFPS - Nearly an exact clone of the cod series. Supports excellent 1080p graphics (on certain devices). Multiplayer is very stable/campaign is awesome; and with a dual shock 3 controller and custom touch emulation through sixaxis it feels more like a console then anything.

2) Order and chaos: MMORPG - If you like WoW or similar games this is it. It's exactly like WoW. Outstanding graphics, tons of players, etc. Easily addicting for any mmorpg lover. Very polished controls and UI.

3) Ravensword: Shadowlands: Sandbox RPG - Probably the best graphics I've seen on mobile yet. Elder scroll based game. Open world, cliche leveling and tree system. Ability to play in both 1st and 3rd person perspectives. Large world map, etc.

My top 3 games, though modern combat 5 is due to release sometime soon before the end of the year.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbo_kf:
I have a Malata T2 with 3g and have been happily trying many of the excellent roms in development from here with no problemes. I thought i'd therefore try the new 1.2 Build T2 3g rom from the download section of the malata.com web-site but messed up and downloaded the T8 3g rom by mistake but didn't spot this until

after

I had run the NV Flash.

The T8 rom loaded so far but then bricks at the honeycomb screensaver (and the left half of the screen is poor resolution and the right side is a solid white block).

I have obviously tried re-connecting to my laptop so I can re-flash the Flashback rom I had been running but the tablet no longer goes into the recovery mode when starting up whilst holding down the + button; and no longer cannoect to the laptop properly if starting up whilst holding the '-' button.

If connecting to my laptop as I would to flash a rom, my windows 7 laptop makes the normal usb connection sound and recognises the tablet as the Nvida Harmony in my connected devices. However, the laptop now shows a problem with the tablet and when i check the properties it states that the 'WPD FileSystem Volume Driver' has an error code 10 and that the device cannot start. This is preventing me re-flashing an alternative ROM via NV FLASH and when i try to, the nv flash programme says that there is no tablet connected to the laptop.

Obviously, the biggest problem with the tablet is the nube idiot who mucked around and got out of his depth(... me!) but is there anyone on this forum who can help me out and tell me how to get the tablet back to the point where I can communicate with it from my laptop and nvflash a T2 rom again!

Any help would be greatfully appreciated.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Try doing the nvflash on Linux. Follow instructions in this post and run a live CD.

1. You will have to use a Linux version of the nvflash utility that you use on the T2. And, before you ask: I don't know if the Linux nvflash program for the gTab will work on the T2. It may; it may not.

2. After you've booted into the Linux desktop, download all the files needed somewhere. I recommend putting it all--both the extracted .img files and the nvflash program--into some directory in /tmp, say /tmp/nvflash-t2. Boot the T2 into APX mode, run the Terminal Emulator, then type:

$ [B]cd /tmp/[I]nvflash-t2[/I][/B] [I]Change to dir containing all files[/I]
$ [B]sudo ./nvflash [I]... [/I][/B][I]Run nvflash with superuser permissions[/I]
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbo_kf:
anyone else have a solution that doesn't involve running linux cd's

okay with windows, but not with linux
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbo_kf:
still stuck

I have taken the advice, run the linux cd and still cant rescue it. From shell, i can see it is there at ./dev/sdb and it sees the tablet when i type lsusb. But when i try and run the correct malata linux nvflash or other g-tab linux nvflashes, it starts up but then tells me that it is an 'unknown device' before terminating the nvflash.

Any suggestions... going of on holiday next week and woukd love to have it recovered by then
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
1. Most likely, you did not put the T2 into what's called APX mode--this is a common mistake. Please, read my original post more carefully.

Also see this post for more info (it's for the gTab, but, it may also apply to the T2).

2. Did you use the nvflash for the T2 (if one exists)? What were the exact commands you used?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbo_kf:
still stuck... cant get apx mode

I can assure you that i have been trying to get APX mode from the moment it went wrong ...the inability to get APX mode no matter what i try is where the problem is.

i have run the adb.zip i read about on this forum and run dmesg on both the shell (dmesgshell.txt) and normal (dmesgnvid.txt) and have attached the two outputs.

There is clearly some software problem with having run the T8 rom that is preventing the T2 tablet form going into APX mode and a noobie like me just doesn't have the knowledge to work out what i do now...

any help in how to restore the APX mode so i can flash back the malata T2 stock base1.2 rom would be appreciated.

Thanks

Target $399 + $50 gift card

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have next weeks sales flyer. Starting tomorrow (Sunday 7-17-11) Target is selling the A500 16gb for $399 + a $50 gift card *while supplies last.

If my math is correct that is like getting the A500 for $349 .

Best Buy and Staples both advertise the "new low price" as $399.99 starting tomorrow.

I think we are going to be seeing many more Acer A500 owners
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Yep :( Which means this place is going to be flooded with "where's my 3.1?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" posts very soon unless they become more timely for folks.

Boy oh boy.

What Acer needs to do is drop an update file with explicit instructions on their site so people can update themselves. I believe they will do this eventually, I think there just needs to be incremental ones before the most recent one which is why people are getting them that way for now. They'll probably move to a build that doesn't require piece updates hopefully.

Of course, it's still not a win situation because you know some idiot is going to do it wrong and come here wanting to sue Acer or going overboard as usual (even though it's their fault).
[Acer Iconia A500] holmanm:
Bought mine from Target on June 24th for $487 after tax. Called today to see if they would give me difference on price drop, they said only if bought less than two weeks ago.

I went to Target prepared to return and go to WalMart and by another one, but Target said I could return and then buy my same tablet back at new price, $432 after tax. So I didn't have to mess with setting up a new tablet and messing with regetting 3.1.

They didn't say anything about a $50 card but I'm happy with the $55 savings. I love the A500.
