[Acer Iconia A500] rchrdcrg:
For the record, my A500 can run stable at 1.6 GHz, though I keep it at 1.4 to be reasonable.... the Tegra 2 seems to overclock well.
[Acer Iconia A500] ezhoon:
Just want to chime in on OC..with Thor's v13 ROM, my a500 oc'ed to 1.5G stable day to day operation :cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Running 1.68ghtz. Thors 3.9R3 kernel.

But really, who would even try to compare a TP to an Iconia? Especially considering they are no longer in production (unless you buy a notebook pc, then they toss one in).

HP never was really known for support, but, if you wanna get a discontinued item, hey, you get what you pay for ;)

And talk about backtracking;

1. Let's merge with Compaq (2 losers become 1 big loser)

2. Let's buyout Palm, and change the name to Pre, now lets kill the line

3. Let's put out a tab, but nobody wants it

4. Let's kill the tab line

5. Oh, let's also get out of the PC business as well

6. Wait, all the tabs sold at 99 bucks, let's make another 1/4 mil units

7. Wait, we were kidding, we're not getting outta the PC business

8. And those extra tabs??? well, gotta buy a notebook to get one

Is this a company you really want to do business with?
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
If you're going to get an A500 wait until Black Friday, it's only a week away ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] dfdtitmouse:
I have both & use both as intended (for entertainment, quick email, etc.). For better support, I would stick with the Acer unit, even though very good community support is provided for the HP unit, it still is considered a "dead" unit.
[Acer Iconia A500] systoxity:
i say buy the touchpad. as of now, cm7 runs pretty damn well and webos is a true gem for when you just want to browse, play emulators, use social apps, or schedule your calendar.

Battery life is also phenomenal.
[Acer Iconia A500] flonker:
Thanks again for the responses... Can I hit thanks in the xda app somehow? Or, do I have to fire up my laptop?

I had the original Palm Pre and the only real problem I had with it was it's build quality, but I liked webos. Yes, it's a dead OS, but if I can dual boot into a stable version of android that is fine. The build quality on the HP touchpad seems to be excellent as well.

However, I see myself mainly running android, and would think a device where it is the native OS would probably be the best in terms of community/developer support. I've also never had a honeycomb device and it would fun to play around with until ICS.

That being said, I'm a bit worried of build quality with the Acer. I noticed a door covering the microSD slot, and it seemed kinda flimsy.

I figure I can get both for $300 new, but the touchpad would also come with some extras like the folio case and Bluetooth keyboard for that price.

I'm going to get the Acer. The feature that put it over the top? It's getting a port of GTA 3, it had better be a good port. lol.

If you actually took the time to read through this post, please resume living your life immediately.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
The sd/sim port, indeed can seem a bit weak, but, once you know how to get it off correctly, it's ok. Took mine off numerous times and no issues. But it's been a month since i needed to remove it, so it doesn't happen every day. Just don't be the hulk, as really it's easy.

The android community is number one, bar none.

But really, for a few dollars more, you can get the 501 with 3g (just don't get it from at&t as it's sim locked.

I just love rubbing in my download speeds with my friend (iPad owner). He stopped playing games with me. Or when I flash a new rom in 5 minutes, with a completely different theme and look.

The best is when I whip out my 320gb ext HDD and play films.:D:D:D

[Acer Iconia A500] VitaZora:
They are like apples and oranges. Both are sweet, but oh, so different.

I bought the 16GB Touchpad from a local Walmart on the morning of the fire sale. I would not have done so otherwise. Do I regret the purchase? No. Do I use it often? No. I am much more interested in my Acer A500 or my little Galaxy Tab 7". They are versatile and FUN! I use whatever device is handy and is charged. That means I also use my 1st gen iPad as much as any other tablet. I just picked up a refurbished Acer W500, so that is my current plaything. :-)

Follow your bliss or your wallet, whatever works, works.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bloodflame:
LOL. You hit the nail right on the head :D I'd love to get a TP if I can only find one for $100.It woul be a nice toy to play with for Android ports, but nothing serious. When I first heard of the firesale (literally a couple hours after HP announced it), I dropped into all nearby electronic stores and they were already sold out. I'm seeing all kinds on classifies sites like kijiji and craigslist but they're all $250-300 which is more than I'd like to pay.

So if you can get one for $100, go for it. Otherwise, I'd either recommend the A500 or wait 1-2 months for a newer Tegra 3 device.
[Acer Iconia A500] whatsitsnamenow:
Acer all the way.

As of now the Touchpad is dead with webOS and not stable enough with android yet. You really can't do much with it now besides browsing the web and email. I don't like honeycomb very much but at least the Iconia will get the ICS upgrade.
[Acer Iconia A500] NoUseToRush:
I have the A500 and I am very satisfied, to say the least!

I also bought today the BB Playbook for $199cdn (the deal wasn't to be missed). Very nice machin.

Will be on sale in the US on black friday at Staples
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
I'd rather get a tetra based tablet, the touchpad is nice but who knows how top end games will be supported on that device. I had a nook color Flanders even the smoothness that it got to only made me want a real tablet

Sent from my ICONIA
[Acer Iconia A500] flonker:
So I picked it up today. Got it for $329 with the Acer case. Liking it better than my buddy's TP so far. Thinking I made the right choice. :)

Which leads to my next questions...

I didn't run the update out of the box, I think I'm at 3.01, so I can just run the appropriate gingerbreak to gain root?

I also seen there was an app to flash a recovery, but I checked the market and it wasn't there... Does that work and is it floating around somewhere? Never mind. Found it.

This is what I gathered from the forums anyway, just wanted to make sure that these are still the best and up to date, ways to gain root/flash recovery.

Thanks again to everybody.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
You got a good price with the case for sure!

Cheapest I've seen so far for "Black Friday" is $299.99 without a case! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] flonker:
Yeah, I had a in-store rebate, so technically I paid full price ($399), but there wasn't anything else I needed anyway. If I would have waited for black Friday, I could have tried to get them to match the price and used the rebate too. Oh well.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Not sure where you bought it, but a good many places will refund you the difference if it goes on sale inside of 14 days. Worth a shot! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I say if HP would make a full android touch tablet it would be great. I do love my Iconia but there support if far from that from HP.there products according to national reviews are second tech company in the world. HP is the largest.We have 2 notebook and two laptop computers in our home.have had far less trouble from HP.Thou I had a camera issue with my HP notebook dm1 3020-us model.I pre ordered it as it was the first and fusion product to hit shelf.HP worked with me for 3 days to fix the camera then cross shiped me a new notebook .during that time they escalated my issue to microcrap. And then a patch for every win 7 64 bit computer with internal USB HD web can

I sent the new notebook HP sent me back unopened they sent me a brand new mid grade all in one printer for my issues.They and microcrap both called a week later to insure I was satisfied.

With acer you are lucky to get a return email.dell computers ask for your credit card with automated system if you call there tech support up front just incase after they help you they determined it can be blamed on you.

For tablet tech support get a Samsung....

For best quality but no support get the Iconia.

To forget about all this tech crap a bottle of tequila does the trick everytime.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Aww I'm late, but I would have waited a bit, just since so many tegra 3 offerings are coming between December and January and I'm 100% sure most will hit 350 by February/March. Holding on for 3 months max wouldn't have been TOO bad.

Out of the 2, I'd have recommended the Iconia for sure. I have the Touchpad as well. I haven't put Android on it yet. It's a great devices but believe me you run out of stuff to do on there pretty fast. Most of the apps are paid versions. I've only found a literal handful (like 10 apps) to use otherwise. I prefer stock to modding usually, but I may have to mod the Touchpad to make it more useful. I got it for my wife because all she needs is the internet really but its' wasted potential is tugging at my strings and I know she'd fiddle with apps if she had 1/2 the chance.

As long as you stay happy with the Iconia though, that's all that matters.

[LG Optimus 3D] kmoon:
So, now the official Gingerbread update is here (in Europe), but I have some problems updating. The LG update app on win 7 keeps reporting connection problems.

Was thinking this could because I'm running an unofficial ROM.

Anyone else had any luck?

UPDATE:

After enabling USB debugging mode the update app can connect.

Next problem: It reports that my phone doesn't support updating :(
[LG Optimus 3D] gismo918:

[LG Optimus 3D] Benz-Driver:
I got an update notification by LG Updater, i made the update, but the updated version is still the same i already had, V10K. So the whole download of 375,77mb was waste of time.

Why does LG Updater first check my installed software version, recognizes that i've V10K installed, then says there is an update and all i get is V10K again?!?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Khilbron:
So I am still learning how everything functions with this new setup. My only question that I have right now, is If I want to change the kernel of a ROM prior to flashing it, do I just need to replace the zImage file with the one that I want.

ie. ROM A comes with source EG30, and ROM B comes with stock pulled EG30, Can I just take the zImage from ROM B and drop it into ROM A, sign and flash?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Yes, you can do that. But use 7zip because it doesn't break the signed .zip. Right click on the file after installing 7zip and choose 7zip > Open Archive and just paste the zImage you want in there.
[HTC Sensation] aras1:
hey guys

i just wanted to calibrate my battery but i read that CurrentWidget must show 0mA before calibrating

it is now been 1 hour since it shows 100% but CurrentWidget want to go to 0mV ..
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Hmm, if you don't want to use the CWM battery stats wipe, get the market one and use that. What is Current Widget reporting for the Voltage should be close to 4.2.

TBH just use the phone, from 100% to 3% or so, it'll calibrate itself over 3 recycles or so.
[HTC Sensation] aras1:
voltage is 4218
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Yeap...Look at the voltage, not the current. And mV means volts. (milivolts).

Im sure you were thinking mA, which is current draw. Current draw, mA, should be quite low when charged to 100%, so just go by the voltage. 4.2v for a fully charged cell battery.

EDIT: Your battery is charged. 4218mV is 4.2V.

[General Topics] weaselnoze:
This is my first post so please dont flame me too bad! ;)

Just bought a GS2SR and installed a keyboard app to replace the android keyboard however i LOATHE the keypress sound (sounds like an old typewriter). I really like the galaxy s2 keyboard sounds so here's what i've done to solve the issue so far..

-downloaded stock GS2 rom and extracted the .ogg sound files for the keyboard click

-converted .ogg files to .wav(same format as files i am replacing inside the .apk) and renamed them to the EXACT name of the .wav files i am replacing inside the .apk

-download the keyboard .apk and open in winRAR (didn't change file extention)

-inside the .apk i located directory containing the .wav files and deleted them

-from the desktop i dragged the new .wav files into winRAR and dropped them in the original directory

-close winRAR

-resign .apk

-plug phone in and view on PC as mass storage mode.

-click and drag newly edited and signed .apk into the downloads folder on phone

-unplug phone

-install .apk on phone

So the installation went fine. I go into messaging and the keyboard shows up and works perfectly. only problem is i have no keyboard sounds! why aren't my new .wav files playing when i press a key? what am i missing here?
[General Topics] upichie:
Did you rename the .wav files to be the same?
[General Topics] devinhfox:
From my limited experience, I don't think it's that easy to modify the apk. Me thinks you need to decompile the .dex, muck around with that a bit, re-compile the apk, then rezip and resign it.

Doesn't hurt to Zipalign it also.

Look up Apk Manager to get more info.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
One of the most known new *features* of 2.3.4 is that the PSXperia issue has been nipped in the bud.

But since I have my 2.3.4 rooted where I can wipe the PSPocket app right out of the system/app folder, would using the one I backed up change anything? For the most part, Xperia PLAY's own games have been awesome enough for me not to need emulators, but I'd kinda like to have my Capcom vs SNK Pro back.

I know FPSE and... erm... that other PSX emu are options, but they don't use the analogs (garbage).

I am quite confused at this time in technology we can't have the incons for emails show how many messages are available for individual accounts. I don't mean gmail but exchange etc. HTC does this for sense. Are there any roms that do this or something i am missing here? its ridiculous.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gregrey:
anyone know anything?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
I would love to have some suggestions to this, too.

The included email app has this functionality to some extent. But, it only seems to works if you put in a shortcut to the entire inbox, and not individual accounts. Looks like the functionality goes away if you use another launcher.

And gmail's latest version doesn't allow 3rd party apps access to that information. So, the couple apps and launchers that used to give an unread counter for gmail, don't anymore.

Maybe try another 3rd party email client?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gregrey:
I tried a few 3rd party Apps. No go
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
"Enhanced Email" the app will allow a desktop widget that shows you how many unread emails you have.

You can also add the widget to your lock screen using Widgetlocker as the lockscreen app.

So I don't have to log into my phone to see how many unread emails I have. I simply press my power button and look at the lock screen..

For some reason my pin code to unlock my phone has suddenly become invalid. Anyone know how I can get in without losing all my data? Can't even back up my recent contacts as I can't unlock the phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Depends. If you have 20L installed there's a pretty serious security bug you can take advantage of.

It's easy.

o If you have CWM installed, boot into it. If not, NVFlash CWM first.

o Make a backup

o Reboot

o Shut down, boot back into CWM

o Restore backup

The first boot after restoring the backup bypasses the PIN-screen completely.

(I cannot promise this will work for you, but it does for me everytime. There's a chance it uses a stored copy of the pin-code though, which I cannot test since my PIN still works.)
[LG Optimus 2x] alexdann:
Sorted, thanks for the reply.
