Man its crazy when its such hassle to give THEM money! luckly this is Iphone country so it should not be to much problems finding one, but i prefer to get it from best buy because they are offering the most for the evo4g

If RSS says zero its because they dont have any on hand. They can check the inbound amount but it wont say when theyre coming. If they dont have them by tonight then they most likely wont be available tomorrow till late in the day.

There is only 1 en route in the entire state of Connecticut from what the only helpful and informed person has told me at one store. Radio Shack is completely unaware of when they will have them.

Yea but they still had units to sell.... Sprint did a Fk'd up release for this device .... what type of release is this for the king of android right now ..... bastards need to stop being greedy bastards and get their heads out their a$$es ... screwing us over just to be able to bring the iPhone to their network ...

Bet you they make the iPhone on their network a "First" stupid mophos

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wingzfan:
Im in full blown panic mode at the moment. Ive got my 2 phones hiding at best buy so I know Ive got them but I have a strange feeling the inventory system is not gonna release the hold on selling them till the 20th. Ill find out in about an hour but if that happens Im gonna be pissed. I traded my EVO last night so now Im phone-less. I havent had such an empty feeling in so long. Ive had a minimum of 6 ghost vibrations coming from my pocket this morning.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VonLaserface:
Personally, I think it's somewhat intentional on Samsung's part. When the 3D launched they wanted to avoid the fiasco that was the Evo 4G launch. Now there's plenty of inventory and little demand.

There's no way Samsung or Sprint could have assumed it wasn't going to be insanely hot on day one. Make the initial release limited to keep driving demand, more people hear about it as the "sold out on first day" stories hit the web (generating even more interest), slowly release more and more...it's underhanded and shady but it seems feasible.

[HD2 General] t00tall:
I've recently changed the whole LCD/Touch assembly ... and now my proximity sensor is not working! I didn't re flash the ROM after the service, so I know that it was working on that build before...

When I run Phone Tester app it detects the proximity sensor is detecting Far... and when I place my finger over it it detects Near, but it takes around 30 or more seconds, to go back to Far again...

What could be the cause of this? The Light sensor works normally... I don't see any dirt there... but the "hole" does look "hollower" ... maybe that lens thingy fell out... could this be it?

Thanx :)
[HD2 General] jozsi76:
proximity lens

Hi,

your wrote is a little bit older, but maybe you can me help.

i have the same problem: i lost the lens from proximity sensor. so its function is not correct.

how are you fixed this problem?

i find nowhere to buy this mini lens :-(

regards
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
I think those lenses are not so important, more important is to have a clean space between them and the outer space. It is possible to interfere some dirt/dust/whatever during replacing touchscreen/combo.
[HD2 General] Axel85:
No I can correct you...Lenses and position of those is extremely important to light and proximity sensor.I had to find those lenses here in xda cause my hd2 had many problems without,the backlight regulation doesn t work,and even the proximity sensor was faulty
[HD2 General] krashekspres:
I'm also searching for that lense, does any1 know where can one be bought or found?
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
Maybe you'd have been right about lenses, IF your prox sensor would have been OK...isn't it?
[HD2 General] Axel85:
proximity sensor and light sensor had many problems without the lenses...Light sensor was changing my backlight only under the sun,instead now it s about 5 to 6 times more accurate,and even the proximity one gave me many accuracy problems.I had the same problem in a tmous and an european hd2,maybe there are some hardware revision more sensible,that works even without those lenses.

To anyone searching for those lenses,I can tell you it s really really hard to find,you have to search for someone who sell spare hd2 parts from a broken hd2.I couldn t find those lenses in any spare parts store,I asked to almost any ebay sellers and internet shops,I ve mailed to htc,I ve talked with an htc hardware technician in chat,and I ve tried to buy 3 new middle frame chassis that came without the lenses.I had trouble even to find a picture of those lenses,cause almost no one noticed those,i ve lost those changing my touch screen,and I think anyone with proximity sensor not turning on their screen have lost those lenses,or had gone out of position

Finally after 5 months I ve found those lenses here in xda
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
Ok, I got your point, maybe you're right about those hardware revisions...
[HD2 General] krashekspres:
Ok, found today guy selling broken HD2 parts, got myself lens, so happy :)

works great, no more in call screen on problems
[HD2 General] Axel85:
You re really lucky man.... :D
[HD2 General] jozsi76:

Today at Build Microsoft announced that Windows 8 would launch with ARM support. Does this mean someone could potentially port it for the Iconia to be used in those times when a Window based software is needed but neither PC nor VLC is unavailable?

Please save "why would you want to use Windows" comments. This is a mature developer website, send those comments to Engadget.
[Acer Iconia A500] tkolev:
This being a "mature developer website" has a search function and q&a section. Both would lead you to this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1259742

Anyway, only time will tell if win8 will be ported to the iconia (or any other android tablet). I haven't heard of wp7 being ported to an android phone, so I wouldn't bet on it. Still I can see the potential in it and would gladly try it (especially if it can be made as dual-boot).
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Downloaded and installed the "Developers Preview" of Win 8 last night. Remember this is a pre-beta release, and for certain it's in it's infancy relatively speaking. As of this moment in time, Android has a much smoother interface for touch. Win 8 still feels a bit sticky for lack of a better word. I installed it on my HP Touchsmart TM2 2150 US laptop (core i3 with 8Gb ram), so it's not exactly a slouch in terms of hardware. It's a total touch screen laptop that has a screen that folds down onto the keyboard to create a tablet. As of this moment, Win 7 has a much better touch screen experience, but I fully expect that to change as the builds mature.

There are very few apps that come with it (28 I believe), and no app store as of yet obviously.

I read last night that typical Windows apps will not run on the ARM version of Win 8, and that MS is going to do it's best to prevent side loading of apps on the ARM version to keep people purchasing apps, instead of loading them from a USB stick or SD card, but that is just rumor as of right now.

Long story short, you're not missing much yet. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] twisticles:

I don't think Microsoft will be releasing a beta for ARM chips and we will see Windows 8 run on ARM only during retail. After that XDA will not port Windows 8 simply because it would be considered illegal.

The OP was asking about the ARM version of win8, so I seriously doubt that it is about the w500.

Windows 8 *might* just support ARM. Everyone on the net is talking about it but no one is really sure. But as for now if you want something similar to Windows 8 there's always WinCE7 :-D Cheers.
[Acer Iconia A500] liu2002:
Look at HTC HD2, illegal?! I think no retail arm based version. No retail maybe dev can port. Maybe it is hard to port and that is the be ass.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
There's no "might" about it. Microsoft confirmed ages ago that there WILL be an ARM version of Windows 8, and recently clarified that it will NOT run native x86 applications. It's conjectured that that .NET applications should run with either minimal changes, or straight off the bat.

It's also been demoed running on Tegra 3 hardware.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Pure .NET applications should run just fine as long as they're using the same .NET framework as W8 does, but Microsoft is encouraging devs to use HTML5 for anything simple enough. They're aiming for HTML5 support to be top-notch and W8 and to be all-encompassing.

And yes, I concur with FloatingFatMan: why do people even think an ARM W8 would be able to run x86 binaries? That's just plain stupid. ARM applications will run on ARM W8, x86 applications will run on x86 W8, that's that.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
There was some rumour that Ms would my providing some transcoding layers as part of the ARM kernel, much like Apple did with the first x86 versions of OSX, but that would be horrendously slow and open the ARM platform to x86 malware.

Pure .NET apps SHOULD run fine, unless MS ship the compact framework instead of the full one. As for HTML5... URGH! :p (I'm a C# programmer, and after being shafted by MS over first WPF and now Silverlight, they can blow HTML5 out their asses! ;) )
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I know there was such a rumour, but anyone with half a braincell should've realized that it was just wishful thinking from people who don't know what they're talking about.

ARM devices are first and foremost mobile devices so an emulation layer would eat horribly on the battery. Not to mention that I am not aware of a single ARM processor sporting any kind of hardware virtualization features or transcoding mechanisms, so the performance would be really poor, too.

And if Microsoft did make such an emulation layer it would be Microsoft that would get all the blame for horribly low battery-life and poor performance because people wouldn't understand the underlying problem. Microsoft saves themselves a lot bad PR just by avoiding the whole thing altogether.

They're already churning lawyers at full speed from their arses, there's no more capacity for HTML5 there, too.
[Acer Iconia A500] boofoo_2003:
Guys: What kind of wifi internet speeds do you get on your acer iconia (using speedtest.net)?

I have a real problem. I have a N-router - Linksys wrt150n and a fast comcast connection - 25Mbps. Most of the times I get 30-32 Mbps download with the wired LAN connection (and an upload of 5-6 Mbps). My wireless b/g/n laptop (when tested on speed test) gives me anywhere between 17 - 19 Mbps UP/5-6 Mbps DOWN which seems reasonable to me. However when it comes to Acer Iconia A500 tablet, I only get 1 - 2 Mbps download/4-5 Mbps upload (tested at the same time as laptop). I know iconia is rated b/g/n. So why is there such a difference? almost 1/10th. Is there anything that I am missing?

My phone is 5 ghz and there is no interference that I can think of - If there was anything - it should affect the laptop wireless speed too. I have tried Dolphin browser, Opera browser, and the stock browser. Same results.

Please let me know if there is any setting on the tablet that needs to be enabled? Something else? I have fiddled with router settings also - auto vs n-only - almost same results.

Device = 3.1 HC/Stock Rom/Rooted
[Acer Iconia A500] tkolev:
I just tested this - I get around 44Mbps for both download and upload with my n router. One thing though - I use the dedicated speedtest app, not their website. Can't run it on my laptop as it's still packed (I just got back from my vacation), but I guess the results would be similar because those are roughly the numbers I pay for.

Just tested it with the browser - I get 36Mbps for download and 22Mbps for upload. The funny thing is that after the test is completed it offers me to download Google Chrome - the "faster" browser ;). Yeah, right!
[Acer Iconia A500] tsecreto:
I get 72 from my Linksys/Cisco router and a fast Comcast connection. My laptop will go up to 300 but mostly stays at 144. I think this is because the A500 while using "N" it will only use it at 2.4 band (at lease that's what heard) the Lenovo v560 uses both 2.4 and 5 bands so I think this is the reasons for the speeds. I really don't have a problem at 72, fast enough for me with the tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
I pay for 10 down and 1 up. This is what I get with my tablet (just ran the test), and is typically what I get on my laptop, and desktop. I'm using a b/g router though as it's the only one I could find that I could get a 7db gain antenna kit for. ;)

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

Your wireless speeds are backwards on both your laptop and tablet. Did you invert those by accident? Typically you get, and pay for faster down than up? :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] GCurry:
Wireless N speeds

I have a Linksys 4200 router and get 20 down, which is the level of service I'm subscribed to with Comcast.

HOWEVER, periodically, the tablet will downshift to 2-3 and stay there. If I reboot the A500, it still gets only 2-3. But if I recycle the router, it returns to 20. I'm still not sure what's going on, but in my case, this phenomenon is repeatable. I can always return to my full speed by resetting the router.
[Acer Iconia A500] blueis300:
This is an old post but I know people are stii having problems. I tried to tweak my router ans always got about 2 meg down and 4 up. Was going through my garage sale stuff and found an older hawking antenna. What a difference it gas made in my 2 story house. Not always an option for some. Still havent tried much outside as I just got this.
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
You said you ran the tests at the same time which you shouldn't for several reasons:

1) Sometimes one device hogs more bandwidth than the other giving unfair results

2) The bandwidth will be shared (ie no one device will get top speed)

3) Power management on routers will cause fluctuation on the speeds even depending on how close each device is to the router

If you want a fair test, disconnect everything from the router (wifi and wired) and test one at a time (3 times each and take an average). Only that way can you be sure. Also try and keep each device roughly the same distance from the router when testing,
[Acer Iconia A500] blueis300:
Mine recently is always just dropping signal. Is it the channel? Should I use 40mhz upper or lower? I know the basic channels everyone uses and try to avoid but is there something better. I tried using the upper , upper channels and it wont connect at all.

A500 speedtest problems

I know this is an old post... just wanted to chuck my results in.

I have 120MB DOWN and 9-12 UP (Virgin media) on a "Superhub" Netgear.

On the PC directly cabled I get those speeds +/- a few MB.

On the Acer 500 tablet, 6m away in the next room I get 0.8 - 1.2 mb DOWN - 1mb UP !!! If I sit right next to the router (0.5m) that increases to 2.5 mb DOWN and 3 mb UP.

I just flashed a custom ROM ([WIP]A500/A501 JB-MR2(4.3) - V6 from Tegra Owners), and my browser and wifi transfer speeds are awesome (for the first time since honeycomb). It isn't the router. It's that ICS build that Acer unloaded on us. Unfortunately that custom ROM lags while going through android and won't let me play dots (huge lags). I don't know what I'm going to do because I can't go back to that stock ICS. Browsing the web was like being on a 56kbps modem (most of you are probably too young to remember that nightmare).

I wish someone knew a fix for the definite wifi problem on stock ICS so I could just go back to that.

BTW, when doing a speed test my speeds would ramp up to normal but were sluggish getting there. When browsing or transferring files they were always awful.
