on power saving they removed the 70% now it applys only from 50%. With this i think they made a big improvement on battery life.

When surfing the gallery with the scroll now appear a date when the picture was added.
[Galaxy S II General] puiradu2009:
This depends on how much applications you have installed. I'm on stock KF3 and I have around 3650 with plenty of apps.

If you got 3800 in a clean rom is not big deal.

In other way I didn't fell the need to change firmwares in my Galaxy SII compared to my old Galaxy S.

I updated the firmware only once when kies showed me that was available.

Edit: And I'm very pleased of it's performances.

Enjoy your device as it is...

Hi guys, just an info please:

- How do I install this file ( Gtalk_Video_CWM.zip )? If I open CMW and select "install apk" it doesn't list .zip files :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Flash update.

Sent from GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] xavi77:
me too. just flashed it only 1 time for now.
[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
Cheers mate!:) However, I couldn't manage to get GTalk video working even with this :(

Any suggestions? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Astegal:
Hi !

I have just followed the steps and still have no video. Shall I install the apk first and then update ?

How do I install the apk mentioned in page 4 on post # 36 ?

Many thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
Well, as I haven't noticed any substantial advantages over my previous firmware, I'm going back to KG3, in which GTalk video works by default. :D (no substantial advantages apparently, and at least one substantias disadvantage... :cool:)
[Galaxy S II General] androidkid311:
For the life of me sammy need a changelog! Lol. This might just b kg6 with a different file name lmao!!!
[Galaxy S II General] jimmad:
i think KH3 battery duration isn't as good as KG6
[Galaxy S II General] mustaine8661:
Not sure if it's just me, but the BLN no longer works. I've got Ninphetamine 2.0.5 just as before, but when I start BLN Control Pro, it says "This version of liblights is not supported".

I used Intratech's non-wipe version, upgrading from XXKG6 with Ninph 2.0.5.

Has anyone else experienced this or am I just a noob??
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
So is worth the update or should i stick to my XXKG5 ?
[Galaxy S II General] juliano76:
I was asking myself the same question 2 hours ago. Now I'm succesful user of KH3 without even noticing the slightest difference. Thanks to Intratech for the non wipe version otherwise I would be killing myself if I had to reinstall everything back again
[Galaxy S II General] Cane Phoenix:
Looking at battery life and signal strength:

* I have had the same battery life since KE7 (6h/percent), with KH3 i get 7h.

* Signal strength improved between KE7 and KG6, haven't noticed any difference with KH3.
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Any significant performance / feature improvement ? also does google talk video work irrespective of the region ?
[Galaxy S II General] Cane Phoenix:
I'd say that, around 15% increase in standby time, is significant.
[Galaxy S II General] tonymy01:
You need to copy liblights across to your libs again, this is of course removed from /system when a new rom is flashed.
[Galaxy S II General] opdrago:
nice rom, i will try it.

For me (France, with Bouygues) this modem is better.

Can the people who are here for GTalk Video please leave and goto the appropriate topic? A quick OT I don't mind but just had to spit through 6 pages of GTalk Video discussion and that doesn't help me in my quest for a changelog.

Any solutions on this yet? I've got the same problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] nick2k:
so after a couple of months of reading reviews and post by owners, i decided to pull the trigger last night.

after a 3-4 hour charge, i jumped right into it.

+very fast boot up. :)

i played with Honeycomb 3.0 before updating it to 3.1. i noticed that 3.1 had bootup & keyboard sounds, while 3.0 had none.

+the chassis is really nice. i loved the look. reminds me of my HTC HD2. rock solid.

+YouTube plays nice. i can already tell that i'm gonna be using this for mainly YouTube. but it really sucks that some videos won't play because it considers the A500 a "mobile device".

+web browsing is good so far. it even ran southparkstudios.com

uhm...that's all i can think of right now for pluses...

...and here's my cons with the tablet:

-it loses wireless connection when the screen goes to "sleep". but this apparently is a VERY common bug and issue with A500 owners. very annoying that i have to restart the wireless to get connection back. this is the main issue i have with it so far. my phone doesn't lose connection to the internet with the screen goes to "sleep". :mad:

-there's a dead pixel, but that's easily fixed by exchanging it for a new unit.

-lots of my games that i would normally use on my phone are completely useless because it still maintains a phone sized image. OR it just force closes.

-No Netflix app. although i read somewhere on the internet that there's supposed to be an official Netflix app coming out. but there's no way to confirm the validity of that statement.

-No Hulu

-No dedicated Facebook App

i still have lots to try out still like the HDMI out, the functionality of the USB ports, Divx/MPG/Avi compatibility, and MP3 sound quality. plus i want to see if i can install an NES/SNES emulator and play it via a bluetooth gamepad.

i noticed there's LOTS of ports...which means more possibly entry points for dust. which can be bad. ACER (or someone else) should make plastic/rubber port bootcovers to remedy that.

i haven't tried to install a custom ROM. nor have i tried to root it.

i'm looking forward to the 3.2 update. i'm hoping that'll fix all (or at least some) of the cons.
[Acer Iconia A500] kekinash:
As for the internet connection, mine with stock rooted US rom (.13) doesn't do that. I have always internet after sleeping.

For the phone apps no scaling you can use Spare Parts and uncheck the compatibility box.

Facebook you can side load it, it works nice on my tablet.

Hulu is a common problem with all the tablets, you need a fixed flashplayer apk.

Hope it helps you
[Acer Iconia A500] willyampz:
Root the device, for now try virtuous Xoom with 3.2 honeycomb. Once rooted netflix is fairly easily installed. Also, you can set the browser as "desktop". Mine has never lost wifi for any reason other than range.
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
My a500 have never lost WiFi during sleep.

There is a Tablet app "Friend Me" for Facebook and it is very good!

"Spare Parts" with "compatibility mode" disabled will make all apps full screen!

Never had a problem with a game (except those made or specific hardware)

Hulu and Netflics I can't comment! Living in Europe!
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Go to settings and turn that option off then...
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
+1 to that - this is not a bug, this is a setting you can change, and is documented in your user manual.

Click apps. Settings. Choose the "wireless and network" menu. Click wifi settings. Click "Wifi disconnect policy" and modify it.

"Bug" fixed. :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
yikes i almost forgot about netflix

Netflix works great on the a500 - you need to root via Iconiaroot (assuming you are using 3.1) and then simply follow the instructions located here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076150

Just follow the instructions - either use root explorer with system mounted r/w or snag Acer recovery installer from market, install cwm, apply the patch.zip and you are done. Netflix looks great on a 10.1 :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] nick2k:
hmm... seems like the consensus is that everyone doesn't have that issue. maybe my situation was a one time only thing.

but let me explain to you what i was doing when it happened:

i got tired of the Market app on the A500. but i'm also tired of the Market app on my HD2 as well. the new updated Market doesn't show you everything, it just shows you like the top ten for every category. anyways... so i put the tablet down (i didn't turn it off or put it in stand-by) and sat in front of my desktop and used the web browser version of Market. i probably spent about 15 minutes or so sending apps to install onto my device. when i went back to check on the tablet, the screen was off. i pressed the power button to bring the screen back on and the Wi-Fi was showing that it was 'OFF'. the only way to bring it back was to restart the Wi-Fi.

so yeah... it was strange. but like i said, maybe it was a one time event.

maybe i'll just set the timeout for higher like 60 mins.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Nope.

You issue is a result of your settings. If you want your a500 to keep a active wifi connection while the screen is sleeping, you will need to go into your settings menu and tell your a500 to not drop the connection while the screen is off.
[Acer Iconia A500] nick2k:
ahhh... cool. i'll definitely be playing with the settings tonight then. thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] mikel81:
Wifi is my only complaint so far and I am experiencing the same thing. Mine is set to never disconnect wifi, and it doesn't. It shows wifi connected the whole day under battery usage. However, when the screen goes off it seems to drop the wifi and I must disconnect/reconnect to get it working again when I turn it on. Not every time but it is frequent.

To be clear:

When I turn the screen on, wifi is unusable until I go into settings and toggle it off and back on.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Are your wifi settings -> wifi disconnect settings set to not drop the connection when screen is off? Screen set to never sleep will not keep a inactive wifi connection alive - you need to go into wifi and networks catagory of settings and modify the disconnect policy.
[Acer Iconia A500] mikel81:
Yes I know, sorry I meant never disconnect wifi not sleep.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
I am confused.

Are you saying you have wifi disconnect policy set to "Never disconnect", but are having issues holding a wifi connection after turning the screen off?

Please provide more information, very hard to troubleshoot something this vague.
[Acer Iconia A500] arffer:
There is a difference between WiFi turning off and WiFi disconnecting.

Here is what I'm seeing on mine:

1) With my tab on, WiFi connected, browser working, I can ping my tab from my desktop.

2) Shut down browser, put tab to sleep, wait an unknown timeframe (lets say 15 minutes).

3) Wake tab, see WiFi is still connected, do nothing else. Start pings from desktop in a continuious loop, pings all fail, despite WiFi connected on tab.

4) Start browser on tab, browser connects to test website, and suddenly pings respond on desktop.

So, it appears that while the WiFi on the tab stays connected, it does not actually go 'active' and start handling data until an app needs it, such as the browser.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
No shortage of apps that can work around this - I don't understand why you want a network connection when nothing is using it, but to each their own :-)

https://market.android.com/search?q=wifi+keep+alive&so=1&c=apps
[Acer Iconia A500] Moshe5368:
The wifi issue you describe is not a bug. It is an android feature to reduce battery drain. If an app or connection is not in use, it is cached until a process is called.then the wifi connection becomes active. You can disable wifi sleep policy but you will see a battery drain if you set it that way.

Remember the two most important parts of a tablet are the screen and the battery. A poor screen or poor battery life will kill sales for that tab faster than apple can draw up a lawsuit.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Well described.

Not sure why a user would want to bypass this - the moment an app requests data, as long as wifi disco policy is set - network connection is set to active.
[Acer Iconia A500] arffer:
Untrue. I have used a number of applications that when launched, do not 'activate' the connected WiFi. Two for example, 'QuickSSHd', which is a SFTP and SSH server, and 'IP Webcam' a webcam server.

Wake up the Tablet, and see that the WiFi shows a connection. Fire up either of these server applications, and try to connect to them. No go...

Now go fire up the browser, which of course makes an 'outbound' connection, the WiFi 'activates' at that time, and suddenly both of the aforementioned server applications can be connected to.

In other words, when the 'conected' WiFi is asleep, it takes an 'outbound' app to wake up the wifi. An app that is waiting for an incoming connection never sees one until an outbound app wakes up the wifi.

NOTE: This behavior is NOT seen on my Android Gingerbread phone, running the same apps with the same sleep settings.
[Acer Iconia A500] frankws:
It is not the video seeing the tablet as a mobile device.

It is your settings.

You can fix it very easily.

2 things to do.

open your browser

in the URL window (address bar) type about:debug and hit enter

it seems nothing happens but it adds a debug in settings

Next

On the very top right click the 4 lines with an arrow.

Click settings and on the left side click "advanced"

click "Viewing Mode" and set it to "desktop.

Now on the left click debug

click UAString and click desktop.

That's it.

Make sure you haven't saved any bookmarks from the mobile sites or they will still open from the bookmark as mobile sites.
[Acer Iconia A500] nick2k:
Ten days later...

Well, it's been ten days since I purchased and used the Acer A500. I find myself using it mainly as a video player (MoboPlayer using 'software decoding'), a YouTube player (using the included app, not via browser), and a web browser...but web browsing is frustrating. :mad:

The stock browser is ridiculously slow. Ridiculously slow. I find that it lags a lot when I'm typing. It also lags when I try to navigate to a different web page or when I attempt to go back a page. So much so that when I've grown impatient around the 5 second mark, I'll hit the 'Back Arrow' again (thinking it didn't register my finger the first time around) only to have it go back TWO pages instead of one. Also the stock browser has crashed/exited out to the home screen about a dozen times so far.

I've also tried using different browsers like 'Dolphin' and 'Opera' in hopes for a better browsing session. Dolphin does the same thing, except for crashing out. While Opera is the only browser that doesn't have lag...BUT Adobe Flash will not work. And its garbage on the XDA forums (a remember password window kept popping up). So that's a bummer. :(

So yeah...my negatives with the tablet are:

-laggy & buggy web browsing

-the WiFi disconnecting it. Yes, I've changed everything to the proper settings to keep the connection alive, but it still won't stay connected. And when I purposely let the screen time out, it won't receive ANY data (like when I try and push an installation of an app via Market.Android.com).

-the Android Market app takes a long time to initiate a download. Updating and Uninstalling is snappy, but installing takes like a minute and half just to begin.

But my praises for the laptop are:

+great screen (minus the dead pixel)

+it makes a great portable emulator device (thanks to the Bluetooth and the Wiimote Controller app) :D

+the YouTube Application...minus the "This video is not available on mobile/Not Available In Your Country/This video is judged inappropriate" bull****. This doesn't happen on my Desktop with Firefox, but for some reason its happening with the tablet. (Thanks for the debug tip, Frank. But it didn't work on the YouTube application)

I still have yet to try out the HDMI output, installing Netflix, or even bother to use the camera/camcorder. I was planning on returning this to Costco tomorrow, but I decided to wait until the new 3.2 Android OS is released for the A500 (assuming it's not delayed again). If it doesn't solve at least two of the three issues I have currently, it's going back. And I'm gonna buy myself as much Tri-Tip and Bacon as humanly possible with the money back ala Ron Swanson. ;)

Anyways...that's my personal take. :cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] frankws:
Sounds like you got a lemon.

The lag in typing is addressed somewhere here on a thread or on the Android Tablet Iconia site, http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/acer-iconia-tab-a500-forum/

It may be under a thread about the keyboard app.

I suggest you take some time to explore the forums. You will have to go through 7 or 8 or more pages to find some of your concerns.

I also have an Archos 101 and I prefer the Iconia.

I've used the hdmi to my tv with both.

The tv has to communicate with the device and with the Archos, the screen goes black, so I only have 1 second to click ok on the screen to see on my tv.

Some have complained that the Iconia screen stays on, but I think that's good because you still use it to navigate on the tablet's screen.

Tried the spare parts trick for phone sized apps, didn't work. Do I need to be rooted?
[Acer Iconia A500] gramps50:
Mine does not have any of the charactoristics that you are discribing. I had wifi ussues with my phone be laggy and also could sit and watch it disconnect for no reason, this problem would come and go and also had it with different phones. After reading and searching I finally decided to try a different router. I purchased a new one and all those problems went away. It was like night and day difference
[Acer Iconia A500] nick2k:
Just returned the A500 to Costco....

I just returned my A500 to Costco and got my money back. They didn't even ask me what my reasons were. But I would've told them the same things I told you guys. The girl at the counter probably wouldn't have understood what I was talking about judging by her done-up manicured nails...

So... I've had one HP Touchpads for a couple weeks now. I finally opened it Monday and gave it a go. Surprisingly I like it A LOT. Granted it doesn't have the brushed aluminum body, full-sized USB port, and the vast amount of apps that Android has....but it's fast a cheetah (after installing Preware). no lag. the web broswer is perfect in every way. plus i don't lose Wi-Fi connection after the unit goes to sleep (and the range is much better). And the battery is like crazy good. I haven't even re-charged it once yet since the initial charge before booting the first time. and that was 2 days ago with lots of YouTubing & web browsing.

since a couple of you mentioned you don't have the same problems with your unit, maybe mine was a bad egg. (but to be fair, i've got REALLY good luck with electronic purchases, so i kinda doubt my unit was broken) i wanted to like it, maybe i will in future revisions. i just know i didn't want to wait for the 3.2 OS update because i know it won't fix anything that i had problems with (excluding the dead pixel of course).

interesting tidbit: Costco no longer carries Tablets in the warehouse. well, the one i frequent at least. :confused: strange.
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
unfortunately, here in my country Australia, only a fraction of a thousandth managed to obtain a hp touchpad when they liquidated.

I purchased my Iconia today largely due to being fed up with spending day after day trying to achieve the impossible (securing a cheap hp touchpad)

Glad you found a device that is better suited to you.

coming from a highly customized android handset I'm quite confident my experience with my new A500 will be fantastic. (I don't plan on keeping it stock for more then several days)
