[Acer Iconia A500] silverball.slayer:
I have a brand new (June build) unmodified A500 and it's not pulling any OTA updates. The current build of the unit is 1.016.05_COM_GEN1. This is weird that it's not even pulling the 1.039.05(?) update. Yeah I know I can do the updates manually, but I'd rather keep my unit stock for the time being.

For the record, the microphone and gps are working very well on this (june) unit. The color intensity and uniformity is a bit off though.

You can manually update to stock 3.1 though... :-)

Anyhoo, from what I read around here updates are given via serial number lottery, you just have to wait for your number to come up. I don't know if that's true though, just what I've read.

I've never received an ota. I was rooted and running roms on day one.

You don't need to root to install updates, just drop the update on your SD and go!

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] NAZology:
When I have the little pink colored circle show up with the quantity of messages inside of it (1) (2) or whatever the number is, when I hit the messaging icon there is a delay and the phone lag's when it organizes the messages or brings the most recent one to the top.

I basically hit the messaging icon and it takes me to my messages but the phone takes a solid second to organize itself. Essentially the screen show's that no messages are new then it updates after a second and pushes the most recent to the top.

Is anyone else experiencing this? It's annoying as hell.

Also when I send a text, the revolving "please wait" circle is terrible. I am generally typing another text right after I send one, as weird as that sounds, and the "please wait" thing takes a solid second before you can start typing again.

Ouch you are serious? That was main reason I replaced my myTouch 4G and went to a stock android phone.

Actually, use another SMS client, i forget the name, Handcent SMS

I works same, and you won't have any of that lagg of "Please wait"

Yea... call them.. they'll have you factory reset your phone and then send you a replacement.

They're the same ones who told me that downgrading from the 353 rom that came with my RMAed replacement phone back to the 351 that I was used to was impossible. (in case you don't all know... this is very possible as described in these two places:

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BryanNL:
Dell sucks. The reason why Dell-computers are so cheap is because they make it of 2nd hand parts. My friend once ordered a pc and he got a 'new' one which didn't even turn on.

That's offtopic, i know. But i just wanted to 'compliment' Dell.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I find your off topic post rather funny. There are currently six Dell devices in my household (desktop, two laptops, two netbooks, and my Dell Streak) and not a single one of them had a used component in them when purchased. Using two-month old components (based upon date codes) in a system does not equate to "refurbished components in a new computer". Are you sure your friend didn't purchase his Dell from their outlet store?

Dell does use refurbished components and they do sell refurbished computers. The refurbished computers are at the Dell Outlet store. The refurbished components are sent for warranty replacements.

I know that it seems to be fashionable to bash Dell for everything. After all they did screw up in the marketing of the Streak as well as its release. But the "refurbished component in new computer" claims I believe have no basis. If such a thing actually occurred, there would be three things that have not appeared in my search on the Internet: incontravertible proof, an inquiry into Dell's activities, and the accompanying media coverage.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Generally for a large company selling stuff, anything that is sold that isnt brand new usually has to note that it's not new.

someone like dell selling refurbs without listing as such sounds totally implausable and is a quick way to destroy your repupatation as a company.

There's nothing inherently wrong with a qualified refurb, they just arnt labeled as new

Either it was a mistake or your friend was full of it or the most plausable: even the best companies cant stop 100% the chance of a dud making it to a customer. All products have a small (how small depends on the company practices) chance of a DOA.

Saying they use 2nd hand parts is just baseless ranting
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BryanNL:
That's right, I gotta say.

It's been over 5 years now since Dell pulled that trick of. And I actually can't ONLY blame Dell, because the center at which it was bought had a reputation for 'generating profit' that way. Still it carries Dell's name. So indirectly it's their fault. They're supposed to ensure quality of of a franchiser.

This wasn't a refurb. As you say; it needs to be mentioned somewhere.

Sorry for my rant. In previous post.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Now I know why I haven't found proof of the foul deed, a lack of an inquiry into Dell's activities, and no media coverage: because Dell isn't responsible. You can't hold Dell responsible for a center's activities. But just as it's become fashionable to blame Dell for everything short of global warming, it's also become fashionable to blame shift.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alskarl:
Hey, I want to install custom roms on my phone, therefore I need it to be rooted and S-offed, but to s-off it I need to downgrade it, but to downgrade it, I need to root it and what not.

So I decided "just" to root it via Gingerbreak.

It tells me to have a FAT32 formatted SD card. I have backuped all my relevant data, anything else can be deleted.

Can I just plug my DHD into my PC and format the SD Card with windows?

Will my phone work still?

Hi guys,

I sent in my Galaxy SII in for repairs and now I got it back with a really old firmware - I think it has now KE3.

Kies won't upgrade because the firmware won't match its server so I have to do it via Odin.

Now, to the question - I found KF3 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113928

Is this the latest O2 one that I can upgrade to? Or am I better off switching to an non-official KG2 build?

sorry i have been out of the loop for a while on the gtab (ever since i got my thunderbolt) but why cant we get flash to work? i hear it has something to do with flash 10.3 not made for honeycomb by adobe but why not strip the flask.apk from the galaxy tab or xoom?

I will put some up soon. As soon as I posted this my hard drive crashed :( new one installing now.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlbardelljr:
I think we can get flash to work. It looks to me Honeycomb is just glorified gingerbread. This ROM is run by pershoots gingerbread kernel. I have not started looking at this yet. I have only really dug into this the last couple weeks and first goals were external sd card, gsensor and pc mount on the same ROM.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allenfx:
Coming from Vegan 5.1 and Vegan-Gingerbread (VG), this is my first Honeycomb Rom i have bothered trying and its already my favorite. VG is a tad more responsive but i am very impressed with this as an Alpha. Very few negative and "i cant get ______to work" posts here (which is why i decided to try it first).

It works great for the things i use it for. Honeycomb is definately the better ROM for a tablet and i am loving the new interface. Access to the SD card is something i never really got working on vegan and it just works on flashback. I havent yet tried my usb keyboard or bluetooth head phones (frankly dont use those much).

Youtube works fine, i can get most *cough* videos to play using rockplayer lite, and flash actually does work if you are running it from within an app, or at least i was able to play news clips fine using the *cough* fox news app. The issue is the resolution of the Gtab as the image is stretched and distored..im betting aspect ratio of the Gtab is the key issue holding up Flash from working within honeycomb.

Keep up the great work...

I am hoping updates for flashback come quickly so i dont have to bother having to try out the other honeycomb roms (im lazy).

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] transitoyspace:
so is flash working on this rom?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunjabusiness:
Absolutely. Has been since zebwen released his customized flash apk a while back.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] transitoyspace:
so besides camera(of which doesnt matter). is hw acceleration the only thing left to be fix(untill nvidia releases drivers)?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] transitoyspace:
also since i havent installed this yet, is this 3.0 or 3.1?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
It is, but with Zebwen's modified version, not all flash videos work; most other flash content works, though (flash websites, flash in apps, etc.). If you want flash videos, you can download the normal flash 10.3 from the market and use the opera mobile browser; the only problem with this is that flash won't work outside of the opera browser. If you want flash video and flash in apps, you can alternate installing the two different versions, but that seems like kind of a hassle to me. I just stick with Zebwen's modified version, since I don't care about flash videos all that much and I prefer the stock browser.

Pretty much. Certain apps don't work, don't work well, or aren't completely functional, but that could just have to do with incompatibilities with Honeycomb in general. Most apps work just fine.

It is currently 3.0.1, but the dev is working on a build of 3.1. I think he said he's about 50 or 60% done porting it over.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlbardelljr:

I will keep watching for an update... until then i will have to go back to ginger. I use the gtab a ton for taking notes in meetings.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
A couple of things for the dev; they're pretty minor, but the more information, the better, right? I haven't seen them mentioned before, so I thought I'd do so.

In the facebook app, the News Feed doesn't load correctly (people's names and pictures are there along with the updates, but they don't seem to be in the right place and there are two blank white boxes randomly in the middle) and it FCs when I click on Friends or Places. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing cache, clearing data, and fixing permissions and none of this did anything, so I think it might be an issue with the ROM. Also, I've noticed this for the past several versions of the ROM.

The music app that comes with the ROM is version 3.0, so I updated to version 3.0.1 from the Market. The updated version pretty much works fine, but it randomly closes relatively frequently and occasionally causes my live wallpaper (Gravitron) to FC, freeze, or otherwise stop working. I downgraded back to version 3.0 and the issues don't seem to happen anymore, so I'm guessing you already noticed similar issues and that's why you included 3.0 instead of 3.0.1.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamhead:
I had the same problem, but it was resolved when I uninstalled and reinstalled from Market. Sorry that didn't work for you.

Take a look at the FriendMe app (made by the same folks who make TweetComb and Newsr). Very spiffy tablet-optimized FB app.

installed last night. great. didnt do much test, hc launcher is smoother. gallery fcs twice i think, but thats all. also theres a random line(widget or app on the homescreen) dont know where thats from. but easily removed

-plus

flash works..amazing. one of the reasons i stopped usign hc roms because the lack of flash in browser..so thannks

external sd card storage works, yay

-cons

ugly default wallpaper, but i can easily change to whatever i want.

sd card icons, but its fine i can deal.

hc launcher still has some sluggishness to it

-questions

i know there is no hw acceleration, but does that mean that the tablet no longer supports .mov files? i remember testing it in another hc rom, it would open up, but jsut play sluggish, so does that mean drivers/codecs are missing for video, or is that part of the hw acceleration.

some said plants vs zombies worked for them, was it phone or hd version?

i installed hd version fine, starts to load fine, but when the grass loading icon gets to first bar, game crashes.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyperxguy:
I have tried a few HC Roms and this is the most stable. Look&fell mostly like my Asus Transformer (HC3.1). A couple of major issues:

* My trusted 720p videos could only play in Moboplayer but with bad FPS.

* Many apps will disppear (settings--> applications--> icon grayed out. Click on Apps icons will produce application not installed) after a reboot. Apps such as Angry Birds, Samurai 2, Cordy, AirAttackHD....

It's great otherwise. Just as useful as my Asus. Thanks.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
That happens to me too, but only with Riptide GP. Angry Birds doesn't do it for me, though, and I don't have any of those other games. I don't mind that much since it's only one game that I don't even play that often, but it is a little annoying. I noticed this issue was fixed on version a5.3 (for Riptide GP, at least), but that build had other issues, so I think the dev reverted some of the changes he made in a5.3 to fix those issues, which is probably why it's still happening.
