[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
OK, and now the even longer answer.

There is no way to increase the resolution to 1280 x 800. Our display is an AU OPTRONICS B101AW06. Look it up on the net & you'll find max resolution is 1024 x 600. What BK553 is speaking about is a change in text DPI. You can see this in Windows where you can change the DPI. Manufacturers normally set the DPI to give the user the best readability but not necessarily the highest DPI. If you change the DPI, text & icons will become smaller (or larger depending on if you increase or decrease the DPI). To see what effect LCDDensity Changer may have, see the attached picture. Icons are smaller & text is smaller, giving the illusion of higher resolution. Notice how the backbround is the same while the text & icons are smaller.

Again, you can not change the resolution...videos, pictures etc will always displayed at a max resolution of 1024 x 600.

By the way, check this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=864338&highlight=lcd and you will see that atleast in Dec 2010 there used to be a field in build.prop that you could change to change the DPI. I looked for it in mine (I'm running Calkulin+Clemsyn Combo v6) and that field no longer appears.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlscott1111:
I use blade and spare parts to tweak the dpi. don't think you can get up to 1280 with any software though.
[Motorola Droid X2] KurioHonoo:
Is there any type of hack or mod we can do that allows us to stream at least 720p content fluidly, I noticed a slight change from 2.2 to 2.3 just a tad bit more smooth,it just needs a little more,im starting to think its our lack or ram, seeing as we only have 404 instead of the 512...god damn Motorola

Never have had issues with streaming HD material on youtube. Even on barebone stock froyo, probably the ****ty coding, doubt its the physical amount of RAM.

[Motorola Droid X2] zetsumeikuro:
I've streamed with wifi and have had no issues so far. 3G is a hit or miss sometimes it'll not be able to keep up with the video, sometimes it will. If I'm on 3G I generally use the app or if I'm patient, I let it load and just drag back to beginning w/o hitting replay.

I can't watch any 1080p or 720p video- online or regular mp4 video from internal storage.

It goes like 4 fps. I looked in the atrix forum, and apparently the tegra 2 chipset likes only certain kinds of HD video (something to do with how the video is encoded).

Anything encoded with with a High profile will not play smoothly on the Tegra 2 chipsets.

Froyo kernels are really weird.

All of the ones I've tried have done this: I press and hold home button and it just registers it as if I pressed it and let it go. I keep doing it until it finally registers me long pressing.

Is there a way to fix?

[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
I ran across this in the PPC geeks Forum. He modified the back cover to incorporate a 32GB SD (read: not MicroSD) card, which have much quicker read/write capabilities. That alone is pretty cool, IMHO.

What interests me more is the fact that there are a bunch of 64GB cards, and even a few 128GB cards out there, and the prices on these drop all the time.

Can you imagine having 128GB to use for data? Or is that something we really do need for the EVO3D,(what with the size of 3D movies, pictures, custom roms, and these huge Nandroid files? It'd be nice to have a copy of EVERY Custom Rom for the 3D ALWAYS at your disposal..(Lol) I wonder if I'd ever get anything done...

Seriously, though:

I'm definitely gonna take a look at this.

What'dya think?

[Acer Iconia A500] vanisleguy1976:
I'm just a little curious wheat everyone is using their Iconia for?

Is it strictly business? All about the games? Are you a social media star? Or is it a little bit of everything?

And what are your must-have apps?

For me, I've found it's a very usefull tool. I'm a chef, and to be able to have all my food costs, invoices, budgets and recipes at my fingertips is invaluable. I'm liking Polaris for this, it's a way better layout than Docs to Go, and it's way more powerful. It's really helped me out at work!

As far as games, I'm mostly playing galaxy on fire 2. Really takes full advantage of the accelerometer, and I've always liked flying games. It's not really what I had in mind for a flying game, but I'm keeping my eyes peeled for something more realistic (anyone working on a flight sim???)

Other than that, I watch youtube, and the occasional movie on here. I'm using TubeMate to grab videos off youtube, and Drive Mount keeps my movie selection fresh between the tablet and my external hard drive. There's an app I found here called Mizuu Movies that has a really slick interface that displays your movies using the DVD covers. Way more eye friendly than a file browser.

Ummm..... I also have the Ultimate Guitar app and mobile metronome for when I'm strumming my guitar, plus the usual tools like quickboot and titanium backup. Oh... And McAfee is my security suite of choice. I like having site advisor on my tab!

So world, what's your tablet for?
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I find myself using it mostly for browsing, movies and reading. None of the available games really appeal to me, I like my games with rich storyline and well, no one seems to bother with such on devices like these..
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
mostly media, basic web browsing and such(big loud gaming rig can be off for paying bills), I also use it to remote into my HTPC to run conversion and update things and get some movies downloaded
[Acer Iconia A500] kylec:
i use mine for uni mainly. Its great in lectures and far more convenient than a laptop to lug around campus all day.

i use it for games here and there but not so much
[Acer Iconia A500] neurod:
I use for casual browsing and media but mainly for my Med school studies. I can easily throw this and a book under my arm and get to a coffee house or library and not worry about finding an outlet. My laptop is getting dusty.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
I use mine for communicating away from my office, reading, jotting down short (but important) notes and as an awesome alarm clock (:

When I step away from computers for lunch or just to hang out and watch tv, I'll turn on IRC/eBuddy and I'll still be available. Having a collection of books and Magazines is nice for lounging in bed or out back etc... and the bonus to all that, I can carry it easily to a friends and hop on their WiFi.

From time to time I'll use it for reference - like say, I'm playing a game on the desktop (even thought I also have a laptop beside me) I'll often kick up the tablet and have walk-throughs or other assorted helpful information on it.

I store ALL my art and pictures on it and a large chunk of (about 6gb) of music. So I have a concise portfolio of my work available anytime and music to play even if I have no connection.

I don't game on it. Except a little Solitaire.
[Acer Iconia A500] bahurd:
I use mine in sales to bring up and show customers products via PDF files and PPT presentations (Polaris or OpenOffice... haven't settled on either yet). I do use EZPDF for bookmarked PDF files as I find it much better (although it doesn't do landscape scrolling or else I haven't figured out how...).

Browsing and some lookup during the day while using the WifI hotspot on my phone. News360 is nice.

Used to carry a netbook but now carry the A500 + portfolio and leave my HP Laptop in the bag. If you put it in sleep mode it turns on really fast to show a customer stuff.

Also, use it for pricing lookups via Dropbox.

One game I use is Pinball.
[Acer Iconia A500] lilirose:
The two Iconias in our house are used mainly for keeping up with newsfeeds, web browsing, and watching video. That might make them sound like toys, but the benefit is that my partner \and I spend far less time in front of our computers- the tablets (along with the Android phones that came before them) are freeing us from our desks. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] lynxznet:
It's more of a toy to me than anything, although.. It is used as an e-book reader as well.. I mean, books aren't toys right? =P
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
Mind's about equally tool & toy. I e-read, browse the web, remote desktop into work, email, Netflix, and PhotoShop (lite).
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
It started out as a toy, mainly to function as media player, net surfing and light gaming but its evolved into more.

Not only has it replaced my notebook for most light work and play but its also replaced books and magazines. Its a tool for me in the kitchen when I feel adventurous. I use it at my bedside, paired with bt speakers for soothing music to lull me to sleep. Apart from all this, its also managed to put everything at my fingertips more comfortably vs. my smartphone (in terms of a bigger screen). I can get by without it but at this point, its as much a daily tool as my smartphone and I would rather not.

Toy or tool? Both I'd say.
[Acer Iconia A500] techpreneur:
I use mine for my businesses. I have an IT and web development / marketing companies.

For IT I use logmein and an rdp app.

For web I use it to show customers websites and review their website. Most of my marketing apps are online base so everything works with a browser.
[Acer Iconia A500] kolaf:
X-plane (one of the best light simulators out there) works great on my A500. Although, I must admit that the flight Sim experience is that it reduced on a tab compared to a full computer. Perhaps is better as a companion device?
[Acer Iconia A500] strider_mt2k:
100% toy.

Web consumption, media of all kinds, movies music books, gaming, and ironically enough surfing the various Android tablet forums for the latest information on my tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] Sector51:
+1 exact the same
[Acer Iconia A500] Ragnorok64:
I've only had mine for 5 days, but it's definitely proving to be a toy. Mostly games and emulators thus far.
[Acer Iconia A500] captainregedit:
Mainly used for itself, meaning browsing xda forums and testing different roms (hope virtuous team will continue their excellent work).

My children love the iconia for playing angry birds, talking tom and other games. I use it for work, too but only reading, sometimes answering emails. Most of the time its fun, but i don't want to live whithout my new toy.

My lovely Thinkpad isn't happy because it is used fairly about 40% of its former usage:D
[Acer Iconia A500] vanisleguy1976:
Funny you'd mention X-plane! I found it yesterday. Played a bit, and I'd agree, it's not quite the same as PC, though still a cool novelty. And I see two companion apps to fsx in the market, if that's what you mean! Cool :p
[Acer Iconia A500] qhinton:
Tool and toy. I do some word processing, movies, and games. I try not to use it for work but I cant resist becasue its more effecient then my netbook.
[Acer Iconia A500] Trinnity66:
I think I would have to answer this as Toy if I wanted to answer honestly. As much as I would like to think otherwise mine is 99% a leisure machine.

I take mine to work daily, but purely for reading ebooks at lunch or keeping in touch with my social world via facebook. At home it is my armchair companion. Once again reading ebooks, surfing the net, playing a few games (words with friends / Shanghai / pool), and a mobile facebook interface. I also watch movies/TV shows on it.
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
Well, I've got wifi signal analysis, OpenVPN and SSH on mine.

I use it extensively for work email over secure LDAP, GMail, web browsing, Pulse news and CNBC Realtime.

But really, it's still a toy. Mostly I use it for playing on the web, Google Plus, Pocket Legends and a few other diversions.
[Acer Iconia A500] mr_malina:
I bought mine to replace my desktop and to play with. It is working out well, still figuring a few things out.
[Acer Iconia A500] Tevac:
90% toy, 10% tool with the effect that my netbook is getting dusty ...
[Acer Iconia A500] Thanar:
At the moment I use my Iconia for browsing, YouTube, Netflix (rooted with patch), and games. Once I get back into school in the fall I will be using it to type up notes in class as I've gotten pretty fast in typing with one hand.

Some of the games I play are Dungeon Defender, Samurai II, and Spirit HD. I currently use Notes to type up notes but I'm currently looking for an app with just as good of a GUI but with GDoc integration.
[Acer Iconia A500] ipigi:
This would be a lot better for work if it basic features were working as intended.

Some stuff is missing and that I find important for work. but that is probably an Android issue.

I mean, how can you mess up L2TP/IPSec VPN? Isn't this a standard?

That aside I still like it for browsing, exchange e-mail/calendar and video.
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
I bought my A500 to be a notebook replacement, and it is serving that purpose very well for all aspects that one would use a notebook PC (business, play, etc.). In fact, I rarely even turn on my desktop PC these days unless it's just something that the A500 simply cannot do (major video and photo editing mostly).

Just like the HPCs (Handheld PCs) that I owned back in the day, I think that these tablets are HIGHLY underrated for business use and for home use. So many people think of them as useless for business or an extra, luxury device for home, but for what most people do with PCs for business or home, a tablet would 100% suffice.

JMHO. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] primus123:
I use mine for school, and some play

I have "dropbox" I play "pocket legends" I use "documents To Go" (although i cannot open any of my school protected PDFs.) been looking for something to help me on this.

Use for movies, no antivirus software, use for internet browsing, and twitter. pretty basic.

Love doing my powerpoint presentations for school on this. so easy.

Toy

I stand by my statements ever since the iPad that tablets are toys and cannot be used for real work. I use my PCs for real work and my A500 has completely replaced my DS.
[Acer Iconia A500] mr_malina:
What is your definition of "real work"?
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
Spreadsheets, graphs, Word documents, printing, long emails.

Sure you CAN do them on there, but without a hard keyboard and full feature sets within those apps, what's the point?

Sure you CAN attach a hard keyboard, but then now you have a laptop. Just buy a laptop and you'll get more powerful interfaces and applications to do the work on (MS Office).
[Acer Iconia A500] fasteddy86:
One of the main reasons I bought mine was to control my mpd server. Currently, I use mpd to stream music to my main floor stereo, the bedroom, and the backyard patio. In the past, I used a combination of web client (Relaxx Player) and desktop client (GMPC) to control it, but using a tablet is pretty slick (though it's still easier to create playlists from the desktop). I use MPDroid to start/stop music, turn on/off particular rooms, and choose songs. When I have guests over, they always get a kick out of using the tablet to control the stereo.

Outside of that, I use it for surfing, weather and remote control (VNC) of other machines in the house. When I can pry it away from my angry bird addicted wife, that is...
[Acer Iconia A500] mr_malina:
I don't really do graphs but I do the rest of what you listed on mine. It works well, for the most part its used as a tablet but for a lot of typing it gets connected to my 65" TV with usb keyboard/mouse. Its can be a hassle at times but the mobility/space saving/power saving is worth it.
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
If I wanted to do that, I'd just buy a media center PC and have it permanently connected to the TV.
[Acer Iconia A500] dongimin2:
replaces netbook

mine replaces a standard netbook. plays not-so-great games, and does all the office needs for a daily high school student. Only drawback is my course in AP computer science needs a Java IDE, and i need my laptop on alternate days. :(
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
I think the point is that you CAN do that...or not....depending on what you want to do or how portable/simplistic you want or need to be. Connect a few peripherals to it and it can be pretty darn close to a full notebook in terms of functionality, but it can also just be an on-the-go tablet with no strings attached.

I think the capability to easily do either makes it far more than a toy.

Maybe you're thinking of it too much as an iPad and "you're not holding it right"....? Haha. (still love the signature by the way!)
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
Yeah, but it's easier and more logical to have a PC for that work that it is to have a tablet. But if you're limited by money, that's a different story.
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
Well....not entirely.

Because a PC (even a notebook) can't be a tablet, and for those times that you only a need a tablet, then that's the best and most convenient way to go. When you do need a PC, a tablet can do a pretty good imitations/substitution for one, especially with a couple of inexpensive peripherals and the right apps.

I just disagree that it's so much of a "toy". I actually play more games on my desktop PC than I do my tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] thomasc_dk:
95% work

I've been trying to avoid paper for some time and that meant bringing my laptop to meetings, which is not ideal. The tablet is perfect for this, so now the laptop stays on my desk where I'm spending perhaps 20% of my working day.

I haven't played a single game on it though.
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
If you still needed the tablet for other things, then get both. Using a tablet for work is cumbersome and equivalent to using a 17 inch laptop as your car's GPS unit.
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
We'll just have to say that our opinions differ on tablet usability for work. Judging by the majority of other posts in this thread, I definitely don't feel alone in my opinion. In the end it's all just opinion though.
[Acer Iconia A500] jetsetwilly:
Bit of a toy for me, easier than grabbing the lappy for web browsing but more difficult when it comes to typing (especially in online forms).

Just been looking how much they're going for on ebay right now and it's a little but upsetting - seems to have gone down almost £100 (about 1/3 of the RRP) in the 2 months since I bought it. Although, every cloud has a silver lining - with a depreciation like this, I think I'll be keeping hold of it for a while. Just a shame all the developers had a big row and took all their toys home. ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] lord_voldemort666:
The point is that we don't all have money to have a laptop for this, and a desktop for that. So why not use the tablet, which offers nearly the same functionality, plus the ability to do all these other things, while being way more portable.
[Acer Iconia A500] vanisleguy1976:
I agree with you here. I've been referring to my tablet as. A 'netbook, but without the pesky keyboard'... Unless I WANT a keyboard, in which case I use my wireless.

And regarding charts, which were mentioned a few posts up, Polaris makes charts just fine! So that point is somewhat moot!
[Acer Iconia A500] vanisleguy1976:
Using a tablet is cumbersome?? I couldn't disagree more! In my opinion, it's the polar opposite of cumbersome. It's small, compact, discreet, unobtrusive. Anything but cumbersome!
[Acer Iconia A500] splatoid:
Both for sure. All my electronics are both My home computer my cell phone and my tablet. I use all the options on all of the devices. Internet Office or text editors games music tweaking the device which is real fun. You name it Ill do it.
