[Acer Iconia A500] linter:
i ordered mine at 6:02 am on the 27th and still no action; hopefully, it's the system slow down and the thing is on a truck somewhere ... but i have my doubts.

meanwhile, i'm assuming this comes with android 3.2. that being the case, in order to root, you're going to have to jump through some hoops, like downgrading to 3.2, etc. i'm wondering if it might make more sense for the more simpleminded among us -- ie, me -- to wait until ICS comes along and go from there. what do you think? i sure would like to freeze battery-hogging unnecessary apps an so on but i could wait ....
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I ordered mine at around 2AM on Sunday morning and have yet to see any type of update. I have called 4 times now and have been given very little help. It's been 5 days now and no update whatsoever. My status shows "being processed"

I am so frustrated that I have tried to cancel my order, but my for some reason best buy representatives said their system is not allowing me to do so.

This is inexcusable and I am deeply disappointed with BB.

They have had their money within an hour after ordering it online. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have ordered.
[Acer Iconia A500] Gnoop:
They should not actually have your money at this point. I double-checked and my credit card shows nothing for the A500 purchase. They don't actually bill you until it ships. What they will do is put a hold on a certain amount for a time but many have noticed that those holds are gone now, which hopefully indicates that they're in prep to ship and bill us.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
My tab was shipped out today so I will most likely receive it next week. Although, as some have mentioned (those who have received their orders already) there is ONLY 5.5GB of memory available.

I thought it would be closer to 6. I was already frustrated with BB and have tried to cancel twice, but that was before the tab was shipped out :)

My question now is, do you think that is a deal breaker (only having 5.5GB available)? I am leaning on the side of saying yes. But, I wanted to here other opinions. Help would be greatly appreciated!
[Acer Iconia A500] kramer987:
stupid bestbuy. i ordered mine on the 27th at like 9am eastern time. i just got an email saying it was backordered. i knew i should have just had it shipped to me and not to the store.
[Acer Iconia A500] Gnoop:
Well, I finally got my shipping confirmation. As was the case with the A100 I ordered, they generated shipping but UPS didn't pick it up that day :mad: I'll be watching status on Monday, hopefully all goes well there.

As for the storage limitations, I'm not immensely concerned. I'm not likely installing any games or apps that are going to consume all that much space. It will be more heavily used for surfing and playing various media stored on the microSD card.
[Acer Iconia A500] jaksau:
I got the same mail on Friday. They gave a tracking number but UPS haven't picked it up.
[Acer Iconia A500] Azianpoet:
GPS is equipped in the 8gb model

I've been using one (8gb model) for a couple of weeks and it does indeed come equipped with a working gps
[Acer Iconia A500] jaksau:
hi, i have a question regarding the 8gb tab. There are certain gameloft games that download game data around 300 - 600 MB before playing. where will this be stored? in the 8GB memory or external SD Card?
[Acer Iconia A500] dbjunction:
Few questions for those who already received it

Like many folks, I too ordered this on BestBuy and am still waiting for the delivery. I actually want to gift it to someone abroad and had few questions -

a) Does it come with 120-240V power adapter (to allow for international use)?

b) Does it have international warranty?

Thinking if returning my Toshiba Thrive (got few days back) for this one if the answer to the above two are yes (no probs with Thrive... this is just cheaper).
[Acer Iconia A500] starfcker69:
To summarize the prior posts, the BestBuy 8Gb A500 is identical to the 16Gb model, except for the memory difference.

Since it has a full size USB port and microSD it's fine for me. I won't be using it for huge games, so the 8GB flash will be fine. I get mine this week. With discover cashback and the $10 gc the final cost is about $200. An excellent price for a Tegra 2 tablet with a decent display.
[Acer Iconia A500] Gnoop:
It's stored in the 8gb. The microSD card is limited in Honeycomb.
[Acer Iconia A500] samlot:
I don't know if best buy added this or Acer but mine came with the Acer tablet case when delivered. That just saved me another 30 bucks.
[Acer Iconia A500] nstong:
I believe this is the best buy model

http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/XE.H8RPN.005

Which is only 110v.

I ordered that Sunday morning. Late 12/1 I got an email from BB saying it shipped, but the UPS tracking number still says that it only was a generated shipping label, and they never picked up a package. Happen to anyone else? Where do these ship from? Anyone know how long it takes to get to Philly?
[Acer Iconia A500] kramer987:
got fed up with the backorder status so i went ahead and called and pleaded with a few different reps until one of them cancelled my order and sent me the asus transformer instead. just play a little dumb and give them a sob story. i figured i'd try for the transformer over the 16gb version of the iconia. not sure if i've downgraded or upgraded here, but i know the asus is regarded highly
[Acer Iconia A500] h8isgr8:
Didn't have any problems with my order. Ordered on the night of the 11/26 and picked it up 12/6. 15 minute wait in line at the counter, but no big deal and worth the $10 voucher.

Before all!

Warning! Questions like can this kernel make me a coffee or does it have this and that from that kernel, or will it brick my phone or does it have rating "R" or can it do this and this. Will new version have this and that... Simple answer: I DON'T KNOW! God gave us free will! Let's use it! Use my kernel or someone else's. Like my kernel or don't. I don't f***ing care ;) and on the end enjoy! Mesage to all XDA bully kinda folks: Make love and NOT fight ;)

Kernel base is clean 3.0.1.G.0.75

So in short this kernel is more like game. In sense it will contain backports from diff kernel build's and it will include already ported stuff.

dKernel 0.1:

Included ported: almost all cpu governors, filesystem support + all nls language's, io sched's.

Include backported: msm_fb [ not complete and not 100% as i wanna ;) in 0.2 will be i hope ].

Started backporting: audio, and few io sched's,

First edition has DooMLoRD ramdisk from v0.5 stock based Next will have original mine :D

Link >>> soon
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sahibunlimited:
Thanks!

Carrier IQ - when security software companies behaves like prostitutes

This thing happens when mobile phone manufacturers behave like prostitutes in front of USA services and accept spying programs installed on their manufactured phones.

It's more disgusting when Symantec and McAfee take the same shame way and don't put in their virus/trojan signatures this rootkit used by USA authorities.

Moral: dump Android, return to Windows Mobile and use security products from Russia or China to double verify your files.

Never more rely on Symantec or McAfee where moral and security are replaced by prostitution in front of the USA authorities.

Disgusting.

[HTC Wildfire S] xArctic:
Hi, I'm new to this forum. How do I unlock my HTC Wildfire S without paying for it?

If I root it, will I able to unlock it? :S
[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
Welcome to xda-developers.

As in most fora, you should start reading existing threads.

In short:

If you have CDMA device, unlocking without a special hardware has been figured out.

If you have a GSM device, unlocking without the so called XTC-Clip is not yet possible, but first approaches have been made to even unlock those devices.

Probably it's just a matter of time.

Third big hope is, that maybe Wildfire S gets supported by HTC to unlock bootloader. But this won't make Wildfire S S-Off after all, it will just let you install custom roms and root your device. Radio and stuff will be still locked.

So please take your time to read around a bit.
[HTC Wildfire S] xArctic:
So How do I find out of my device is CDMA or GSM?
[HTC Wildfire S] 73r352:
gms= sim card

cdma= no sim card

Phone: HTC Wildfire S (Virgin Mobile US) A510c

Rom: stock gb 2.3.4 / sense 2.1, rooted (s-off)

Recovery: still playing around

Hboot: 1.06.0000
[HTC Wildfire S] thesnaz:
I would also recommend *NOT* flashing any of the available custom ROMs available to you at this time. In my uneducated opinion, they are GSM roms, incompatible with CDMA phones. So if you do indeed have a CDMA phone (virgin mobile), as I do, don't flash anythin to it. Rooting should be fine.
[HTC Wildfire S] 73r352:
true that (already bricked a phone installing cm7)

cdma atm only has 1 rom working but it's got several bugz
[HTC Wildfire S] helgemania:
Take a look at the website of your provider:

http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile/networks/network_info/gsm-gprs.html

I guess you have a gsm device.
[HTC Wildfire S] nonyhaha:
so not even after htc gave away bootloader unlocking this isn't possible?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Gaugerer:
I normally use the Desktop setting as the User Agent in the Dolphin browser but it still is not as good as using the Chrome browser on a laptop or desktop machine. It is particularly bad when doing a Google search where the options are limited. So I thought I would try the iPad option as the User Agent and what a difference that made. It makes browsing as good and possibly better than Google Chrome on a laptop. It has transformed my browsing experience. What do you think?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] aadilprabhakar:

You won't have flash then.

I tried this method, but I didn't find any performance difference.

By the way, even I set the agent to IPAD, the flash is still could be dispalyed.

I've started a project which you can see here:

Leedrodi Tweaks

I've added the tweak now, so that you can change song with the volume buttons, when teh screen is off.

The tweak is working fine - but now I want to be able to toggle this feature on/off in the Leedroid Tweaks.

The code changes in the Tweaks.apk are done.

So only the implementation in the smali file is missing.

I tried it for several hours, without success:

The edited smali file:

The red box marks the code Ive added

decompiled in java code:

as you can see the code changes also have effects to other lines, which makes teh code unusable.

I tried for more than 5 hours now different combinations - each time some lines are messed up:

The same smali code is used for the tweak to enable the volume buttons to wake up the phone and there it is working fine:

Paging all able developers, please produce an extended power menu. Going into CWM to press the reboot option is really too much trouble.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eybee1970:
I tried to build, but unfortunately no success....

I roughly followed steps here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1169443

No problem with the part on framework-res.apk....everything workin fine, 6 new Hex numbers were generated.

On part with android.policy.jar, I modified GlobalActions.smali the following way

a) I replaced "const/4 v9, 0x4" with "const/4 v9, 0x7"

b) I put in following code above "invoke-static {v0}, Lcom/google/android/collect/Lists;->newArrayList....."

const/4 v1, 0x4

new-instance v2, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$9;

const v3, 0x1080523

const v4, 0x10405c4

invoke-direct {v2, p0, v3, v4}, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$9;-><init>(Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;II)V

aput-object v2, v0, v1

const/4 v1, 0x5

new-instance v2, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$10;

const v3, 0x1080524

const v4, 0x10405c2

invoke-direct {v2, p0, v3, v4}, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$10;-><init>(Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;II)V

aput-object v2, v0, v1

const/4 v1, 0x6

new-instance v2, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$11;

const v3, 0x1080522

const v4, 0x10405c3

invoke-direct {v2, p0, v3, v4}, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$11;-><init>(Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;II)V

aput-object v2, v0, v1

(We have to follow up with GlobalActions$9 because GlobalActions$8 is already used on Note)

c) I generated the 3 new smalis (...$9 up to ...$11) and made the changes the way shown on sicopats HowTo. I took GlobalActions$5 for duplication, cause on Note this one contains Shutdown

After recompile/baksmali of both files I flashed them - but no Menu showing up any more...even the general Power Menu is gone...

So I think someone with deeper knowledge on smali coding has to do that...:(

http://www.facebook.com/notes/lg-mo...40-ice-cream-sandwich-upgrade/316431148368212

looks like the Opitmus 2X and other high end smart phones. So we will see it, one way or another.

We will know more some time in December.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lanlee212:
I hope LG releases it for us but they never say g2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TerryMathews:
In some markets, like Canada (Wind) the P999 is named the Optimus 2x. I think we will be fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I dunno, it's mighty conspicuous they did not say G2X....

Specifically, on Facebook it says:

"We are initially announcing LG Optimus smartphones that will have Ice Cream Sandwich OS upgrade!"

Then on the actual article it says:

"Optimus 2X, the Optimus Black, the Optimus 3D and the Optimus LTE."

That CLEARLY leaves out the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
They are only focusing on the O2x because they originally said it wasn't getting ICS because it was out "before" the Google Update Contract. It was all over the web and now LG publically announced it was a rumor and said they are working on it.

We'll get it eventually. The G2x isn't that old yet. It technically should have been launched with GB. The GB update was promised Day 1 as "GB isn't finished yet, so we'll just launch it with Froyo to make everyone happy". GB update = doesn't count.

So there is no reason why 6 month old phone won't get updated. Probably won't be speedy though.

@above: Optimus 2x = G2x

Same line of hardware. Tmobile has to officially release the update for us... so it won't be announced via LG.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] besthijacker:
By the summer :eek::eek::eek:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Had the same theory with the Samsung Vibrant. Galaxy S phone, right? So when Galaxy S phones worldwide got Gingerbread, the Vibrant should, too, right? Nope, it was different due to T-Mobile radio and T-Mobile didn't care to push an update. So every Vibrant user is still rocking Froyo while the rest of the Galaxy S world is running official Gingerbread. And don't say Cyanogenmod - support was so bad thanks to lack of closed driver support that CM9 is dropping support for the Vibrant completely, and CM7 never ran right on it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sunster:
True. My phone is a 2X from wind but it is a p999.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
That's not completely clear. As I recall, the Gingerbread update was originally directly from LG via their updater, and the OTA from T-Mobile followed that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I am so tired of saying this, but here I go again. The G2X is an Optimus 2X device. To LG it is a 2X. The Optimus 2X line includes the P990, SU660 and the P999. The G2X badging was only for T-Mobile to continue their line of "G" high-end Android devices (i.e., G1, G2, G2X). It was easy for them and LG to just add a "G" to the front of the 2X name. That is why the P999 in Canada is a 2X. Only T-Mobile is allowed to use the G2X name. It is a proprietary name for T-Mobile only. It will get ICS so stop fretting about it already. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
I guess I just get so nervous because I had the same story with the Vibrant... I hope you're right.

Anyway, I did get a response on LG's facebook that I made a few days ago. Not much info there.

It ran smooth, but GPS was flaky (you couldn't turn it off, or it wouldn't turn back on until you rebooted) and the battery life was pathetic compared to stock.
