I was about to post that yesterday. I don't think the chart is true since HP has not sold over 10% of its touchpads and I do not know anyone who even knows about the touchpad. If there was better advertising the Iconia might be farther up the chart.

[Acer Iconia A500] lord_voldemort666:
I question that graphs validity.

I find it very hard to believe that more people would choose the Playbook or flyer, over the Acer.
[Acer Iconia A500] goodintentions:
I agree with you guys. Both acer and asus have been struggling to keep up with their product demands. My gf had to wait a month to get her docking station for her transformer. And yet they put the asus and acer at the low end of the graph. Gee, I wonder who funded the study... Heck, even the moto xoom couldn't sell that well. Their vice president even said their sales figures have been "underwhelming".

I'll tell you this much. When I got my iconia, I had to drive out of my way to get it. I talked to managers from 3 stores. They got plenty of xoom. They couldn't supply enough iconias and transformers. And I wasn't the only one asking about them.

Edit.

This article is still bad news for the iconia and transformer, though. It shows that most mojos out there don't know anything except the word "ipad".
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
I also question this mainly because I really struggled to get my Acer in our country.

It only came in stock a couple of months ago. I had to get mine from Germany.
[Acer Iconia A500] kekinash:
Well most people here in the US love Charlie Sheen, but I don't give a damn about it. So ok , most people want an iPad, but what they are buying is the important, and I see that Android is doing fine, even with all this fragmentation and all market issues (some have , other not). Of course iPad is right now the king, is a closed system, controlled by Apple, software, hardware, music, films, applications... But if Google repairs the damage done with the 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 android versions at the same time and the market fiasco, they gonna be the next king.

Right now at my home we have 3 tablets and 3 phones, none of the from Apple, but Android.
[Acer Iconia A500] willyampz:
..but good news for android, which is all I care about. I calculate around 26%, not counting "other", which is good and will only climb.
[Acer Iconia A500] vanisleguy1976:
If the poll on the right-hand side of this page (http://hcapps.blogspot.com/) is truly indicative, it seems the Iconia is DOMINATING the android tablet market!

You sure that list isn't about what people dislike the most?
[Acer Iconia A500] Ragnorok64:
The study used for this article only had a sample size of 1114. That seems kind of small.

Edit: actually that table itself is only based on 531 people.

It's amazing how biased that report is. It's probably as bad as how biased consumer reports has gotten.
[Acer Iconia A500] rueben68:
Who came up with that poll????........ Apple
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
insane

The sample size that this poll is based from is a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction of a tiny group of a few people.

Would have purchased an ipad myself - but things like MicroSD, custom rom images, over clocked kernels, full size USB support, Adobe Flash support, and a truly hackable customized device kept me from considering the current apple tablets.

Sure, they move more units. That does not in any way mean they are "Better" units.

The simple fact is - i cannot be the only be the only person smart enough to compare features and check the specs before purchasing the product - but no one has ever and probably will never ask me to be part of any group of hardware owners that results in silly charts like this.
[Acer Iconia A500] pplude:
As a Best Buy employee, specifically with tablets, I can tell you this, in 1 week of my sales (we have to personally record every sale at my store, the info was easy to get):

15 Galaxy Tab 10.1

27 iPads

4 Acer Iconia's ( ran out of stock, could have ordered ~ 5)

2 Asus Transformer

2 Toshiba Thrive

0 Xoom (wifi or 3G)

0 Touchpad

0 Playbook

0 Huawei S7 Slim

0 Galaxy Tab 7"
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
These numbers I can believe.
[Acer Iconia A500] OhToSee:
So how many more would you have sold if you didn't run out? I'm guessing another 5 more based on another BestBuy metric -- go online and checkout their tablets sorted by bestselling.

1. iPad2 16GB Black

2. iPad2 32GB Black

3. iPad2 16GB White

4. iPad2 64GB Black

5. Iconia 16 GB

6. iPad2 32GB White

7. iPad2 64GB Black 3G

8. iPad2 32GB Black 3G

9. Coby Tablet ($180 7" tablet)

10. Galaxy 16 GB

11. HP TouchPad

12. Galaxy 32 GB

I guess this does measure something different than that original survey. The first is asking as much about name recognition. When asked to name a tablet, the most well known one will get named the most. But when you go out there and actually see what $180 dollars (Coby), $300 (Iconia), and $500 (iPad) gets you, the Acer picture changes a bit.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
You can't really use a single retailer's metrics to judge how well something is selling. Hell, if you look at Amazon UK, this noname tab is their best seller and the iPad not appearing in the list until 5th place with the iPad 2 16gb wifi model.
[Acer Iconia A500] tedpc01:
I agree with you guys regarding the most dubious numbers on that survey. I originally got my Acer Iconia A500 at Rent-A-Center to try it out. I had to wait for them to get more and get my name on the list, as they were so popular! I loved it so much I bought one and returned the rental.

Bad news for HP TouchPad owners

I think it is bad news for HP TouchPad owners!!
[Acer Iconia A500] frankws:
as it says, it is based on 531 respondents. Big deal. No one asked my opinion. It was probably rigged.
[Acer Iconia A500] daswahnsinn:
I would have to agree with FatMan saying people are morons when it comes down to them wanting Ipads. One question. What's the most popular thing that people own and want to stick in a PC/tablet? Answer. A USB Storage device.The Iconia is the only tablet I know of, until someone corrects me, that has a USB port built into the device read to read and write data.
[Acer Iconia A500] pplude:
Toshiba Thrive. Also the Asus Transformer with the lapdock. And the Galaxy Tab 10.1and Xoom with the adapter.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Out of the box, without any additional hardware at all including special cables that don't come with the device, or docking stations etc, how many have this feature?
[Acer Iconia A500] dito33:
I think the only one so far is Toshiba Thrive, and asus coming with another updated model of transformer with usb, that's so far I'm sure the rest will catch with the trend.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
If ACER could get there act together and hire some good developpers just to make their software more reliable, possibly they also should get a quality departement to make sure everything works before they OTA. Then i am sure they will have more success, since hardware wise they have improved, they also jave to improve the software now.

I work at a large store that happens to sell the Acer Iconia A500, the HP TouchPad, and the ViewSonic 8" tablet. Both the HP TouchPad and the ViewSonic are lucky to sell one or two per week, however the Iconia is selling every day. And for good reason.

Anyone been to the mall lately and noticed the Apple stores? they are packed ,the sheeple are flocking in and buying everything Apple sells , thats good news for the economy , however , that being said , you can see how dumbed down the American people have become .

[LG Optimus 3D] precsmo:
Hi everyone, been having this phone for 2 over weeks now. This phone is definitely fun, but, at the moment, I find it extremely annoying to having such sleek and fast phone, but by any means, it is extremely sluggish to me during all 3d modes. Turning on the 3d camera needs a long wait, switching between 2d and 3d modes in the camera takes some waits. Viewing in between each photos take some waits. Turning on any 3d apps take some waits, we just need to wait here and there during any switching in 3d modes. Playing videos files take some waits. But other than that, at the moment, even with Anrdoid 2.2 the phone feels very responsive enough in 2d mode. I really don't find this enjoyable at the moment in any 3d modes with all the annoying waits. or is it only me?????:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: I really really hope this is entirely rom and software related issue not because of the huge burden processing the 3d data even with the sleek chipsets a phone ever has???:confused::confused:
[LG Optimus 3D] Echts:
The camera app is sluggish at best, takes for ever to load and an eternity to take a picture etc, in short the camera app sucks in most cases :/

Loading the first 3D pic takes a few seconds but scrolling through the gallery is fast and easy for me and I've even throttled the CPU to 600Mhz instead of 1Ghz.

Movies load pretty fast and I have no problems jumping back and forth in them etc, most slow down on this phone is Software, it's not the worst I've seen but it's far from fast ^^ Hopefully CM will change that, also as Android becomes more dual core optimized with the next version there should be a good boost to the system :)
[LG Optimus 3D] precsmo:
Yes, i think the same too. And the 3d gallery, the thumbs preview is at the moment very lousy to, in the way it is sluggish, and look at the thumbs quality, it is way too much as unacceptable. Also, everytime loading the pictures or the recorded videos, how ridiculous to see the rediculous low quality preview (which is sluggish) before the real 3d pop into the eyes. Hope everything will be fixed with future custom roms, and most importantly the original lg roms.
[HTC EVO 3D] bvang89:
Anyone know if this fixes the app icons on the screens too?
[HTC EVO 3D] Compusmurf:
If you're referring to icons for apps on home screens for apps you've moved to the SD card, it's NOT happening.

It's a gingerbread/sense issue due to the way the OS starts up file systems. The only workaround HTC could do is cache SENSE icons with the assumption that the app will be "installed" once the SD card is mounted.

If you're referring to something else, disregard this post.
[HTC EVO 3D] bvang89:
Yup talking about that. That's fine sometimes they'll just appear with the. Normal icons but that doesn't last long if my battery dies. Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luizffgarcia:
Hi guys,

In my opinion, the notification LED blinks way too slow in Atrix... I used "Blink" application from the market when i had Froyo to change that but it doesn't work in Gingerbread :(

Does anyone know how to change that notification LED blink rate for received SMSs? Any working applications or configurations?

Thanks in advance

The flashing speed for lightflow "fast" is the same as Gingerbread stock notification, i need it much faster since i always leave my phone in silence mode when i am at work...

Any other options?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrunkFuX666:
It works quite well yes... but you may want to watch out for battery drain since it tends to cause partial wakelocks... just observe for a few days... if your still happy with battery no need to worry... if its draining... you know what's causing it...

Sent from my Motorola Atrix
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrunkFuX666:
Never used blink so wouldn't know... and well... I highly doubt the led will burn out... they tend to have very long lives... if it burns I would prob say just really bad luck... its not a bulb afterall, its a LED... Not to mention the BLN app which is used on the galaxy s and galaxy s2 for the backlight leds of the softkeys to come on for notifications is based off that due to lack of any actual notification LED...

But its your call... I would just say look around for if keeping those leds on constantly will cause any harm... if not... go for it...

Good looking out. Will I see LightFlow in my battery stats as the culprit? Im stock OTA GB still with a out 22-26 hours between charges. Ill report back after a couple days. I setup a bunch of notifications.

I will do that!

But if someone knows other ways, just please let me know :)

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrunkFuX666:
It didn't show up on battery stats but did show up on Better Battery Stats as it doesn't cause a direct drain, but keeps the phone awake which leads to the system draining in general...

Does anyone know when 4G service will be available in these 2 cities?

I tried calling Verizon on the 22 of July(the day after the big 4G coverage in San Diego county) asking when it would be available in ether of the 2 cities above and they just told me they don't have access to that information.

It just really sucks that it's been 6 months now since the Thunderbolt came out and still no 4G here.

[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
Can I just make a quick comment about freq_min, freq_max, and governors? I like to equate them to a car's engine. At idle (freq_min), it's should be just loafing along, doing the least needed to keep things going. At red line (freq_max), it's chugging down the fuel and kicking out all the horsepower possible to haul that ride down the road. And your governor is kinda like your cruise control. You're cruising across Nebraska, not a hill in sight (you're phone is doing nothing) and it's just BARELY tipping that throttle in to maintain. But, you hit Colorado with those big ol' hills, and now it's flooring it, letting off, then flooring it again to get over those hills. Think of those hills like you making your phone do stuff.

Here's my point:

When you set your freq_min to 800MHz with, it's like running your engine at 5000RPM, all the time, regardless of load. Setting your freq_max at 800MHz is kinda like jamming a stop under your throttle so it will never make enough power to pull you over those big hills. The idea of a governor is to throttle the speed up and down relative to the load... kinda like your cruise control. Some could do it better, some have very limited real-world application (performance and powersave), and some are pretty much ideal. It really depends on how the dev has set them up or how you've tweaked them.

I post this because I'm looking at some of the setting some of you are using and I KNOW they could be more efficient. I would encourage you to look at your time-in-state and experiment with your freq_min, freq_max, and gov. As you can tell from mine, though I have my max set at 1.49GHz, it spends VERY little time up there. It's more like the nitrous shot if things get real hairy and the system needs the extra power.
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
i currently use BURNTH3ORYX V1.5 w/ the MR3.5 (802) radio, also have the 2750mAh battery, and i just use the built in "performance" option. I set it to 'OnDemand' and overclock to 1.5 Jigga Hertz.
