[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
I used method #2 in this link and it worked great for me. Then installed one of the rooted 3.2 roms in the development section and was up and running in no time. No data was deleted and all my apps were ready to go. When you first boot after the downgrade you will get a bunch of force closes, don't worry that is normal. Just follow the directions, install and run iconiaroot1.3, then install the cwm recovery through the acer recovery installer, then install the rooted 3.2 rom and when you boot up everything will be working correctly and you will be rooted. Here is the link:

Also, I downloaded and installed the iconiaroot 1.3 and the acer recovery installer before downgrading so everything was ready to go. After you install and enter the cwm recovery, only wipe dalvik and cache before installing the 3.2 rom. If you wipe data you will loose all of your data. Took me about 10 minutes for the whole process and I didn't loose any data or have to re-install any apps.

tring but not success

i downloaded the zip file and installed the files in the zip file to my external cd card......then when i try to reboot using the power+vol-down keys it starts to load files then the android emblem comes up loads to 3/4 the the bar goes away and the android stays and now has a caution symbol in the middle and then the tab boots normal with all normal software......and help as to why i cannot flash the old software
[Acer Iconia A500] chasmanian:
Sounds like the file got corrupted. If you downloaded from a PC, try downloading it again. If you downloaded from the tab, try doing it from a PC and then transferring it to the tab.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MatthewHenry:
Hi

Just spotted this on Expansys - is it genuine?

http://www.expansys.com/samsung-google-galaxy-nexus-multimedia-dock-225460/

I thought the multimedia dock was going to be landscape?

Or are there 2 options?

Matthew
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] birdster:
Yeah saw this too, my bet is by looking at the triangle construction on the back it can be both landscape and portrait but may be wrong......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Assuming the docks in this video are for the Galaxy Nexus: http://youtu.be/14x9kKgvHkg?t=1m7s

There appear to be two docks. A landscape dock that uses the pogopins, and a portrait dock that uses USB/MHL. I'd guess that the landscape dock is just a charging dock, while the portrait dock is a multimedia dock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
Just a thought: Since MHL just mirrors everything on the screen, a portrait dock would make a terrible MHL Dock for the most part.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MatthewHenry:
Might be a dumb q... but will the landscape multimedia dock charge at the same time?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
i have seen this dock with the galaxy II,in a video.

so maybe the shop is wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
There is definitely a portrait multimedia dock as I have seen it advertised on other sites but not available until 30th November. I looked at a similar dock on the expansys site for the Galaxy SII and it does say it can be used in landscapde mode but I would assume you did that by just turning the dock on its side and the viewing angle on a desk would be pretty bad like that since it would sit 90 degrees to the desk.

It also doesnt say any information such as output ports but the other ones I have seen have an HDMI OUT for connection to a monitor or tv.

The image is also wrong for the Galaxy Nexus as it shows 2 buttons on the right side (presumably for the volume) when there should just be the single button on the right for the on/off and 2 buttons on the left for the volume (which the picture snt showing so we dont know). It probably wont even look like that lol.

Expansys obviously dont have any stock of this dock and the price looks pretty high so I would wait until the beginning of December and see what amazon or ebay start offering.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mstrandbo:
It does say "Note: temporary picture" ... We'll see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestD0215:
it does say " Note: temporary picture."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnnyTrue:
Has anyone seen a dock which just charges the phone? I just want a charging dock, no multi media, no MHL. Thank you.

P.S. through microUSB, no the pins
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
There should be lots of those available on eBay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Good point. Maybe that dock can be used in both portrait and landscape mode, like the Galaxy S II docks.

Anyone find it weird that the Galaxy Nexus has both a MHL port and the pogo pins? It's like they can't decide on how to dock the thing and threw in the kitchen sink. With the MHL/MicroUSB port you can get USB data, charging, HDMI output, and maybe analog audio too, so what's the use for the pogo pins? It just makes docking options more complicated...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnnyTrue:
dont know why but I cant find any (
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
MHL can't be used at the same time as USB as far as I know. When the MHL cable or adapter is attached the phone detects it and it switches over to MHL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Yeah, it's either MHL or USB. But what's the point of the pogo pins? All they do is charge. The MHL port, regardless of whether it's in MHL mode or USB mode, still charges. You don't gain anything by using the pogo pins. It leaves the MHL/USB port open, but then if you want to use it, it's still only either MHL or USB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackDino:
Give it time, by christmas we should have some good accessories :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnnyTrue:
Hope so. It's weird that there are no accessories for Galaxy Nexus. Usually, accessories are sold before the phone is sold.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dgwood12:
This is exaaaaaaactly what I have been looking for. I wonder if there will be a way to get a gnex with a case to fit in it...thats the pain with most docks, not case friendly :(. Any ideas?

[LG Optimus Black] raplus:
LG confirms today that the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) OS will be initially available for the following high-end LG smartphones which were introduced this year: the Optimus 2X, the Optimus Black, the Optimus 3D and the Optimus LTE. We are also continuing to evaluate the ICS OS to determine whether it is compatible with the functionality, features and performance of other LG smartphones to make the ICS OS available on as many LG smartphones as possible.

In December this year, the forthcoming upgrade schedule and additional specific models for the ICS OS upgrade will be posted on our LG Mobile Global Facebook page and on our local LG websites. Please stay tuned for more updates from LG.
[LG Optimus Black] t0g3:

Is the rumor release Q1 2012 confirmed or not?
[LG Optimus Black] RodHQ:
The world is good again
[LG Optimus Black] victorash:
I can see the future:

- this thread will turn into an ICS speculation thread

- reinbow will come and close it

:)
[LG Optimus Black] Altermind:
yeah... this was in my local news site...... I think.. news.com.au
[LG Optimus Black] Rudoslav:
optimus

I hope some more optimuses will get the upgrade...I mean Optimus One or Optimus me :))... but no high hopes :)
[LG Optimus Black] reinbeau:
Actually, if this is the ONLY ICS speculation thread, it will remain open - but if we start getting a bazillion of them, they will be closed.

ETA As a matter of fact, this will be the Official ICS Speculation thread, title has been edited, all others will be closed.
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Erm... I don't wanna say anything negative, but I already posted that like a week ago in the Cyanogen Mod discussion thread, since that already turned into a discussion about everything concering the P970 as it seems... :)
[LG Optimus Black] reinbeau:
If it's reported, it will be deleted. Staying on topic is important ;)
[LG Optimus Black] ajay13:
i won't be expecting it too much... i mean look at our (Oblack users) current condition we are still expecting the GB which is DELAYED. can you tell if someone said ICS for Oblack will come Q1 2012 is when? it means few months after, maybe a year after, or maybe it will never come... going to sell my Oblack, and that's it... i'm going for samsung man...:mad:
[LG Optimus Black] Artyomperec:
As I think it means first quarter (Q1) of year 2012/
[LG Optimus Black] ahahahxxx:
yes u right, i thing so..
[LG Optimus Black] hulkhaugen:
Well, if LG keeps their promise, P970 will be the last handset of these four to get the ICS update, unless they come at the same time. Should be possible to get it within Q1 of 2012, but i don't think so. They haven't revealed the ETAs on their facebook page yet, have they?
[LG Optimus Black] LookedPath:
yes hulkhaugen you're right...

they haven't announced etas of ice so if I think about the gb update we will get ics at the end of 2012...
[LG Optimus Black] kartik1978:
Ginderbread should be out tomorrow

ideally from what i have heard official lg gingerbread for optimus black should be out tomorrow ... 12-Dec
[LG Optimus Black] hulkhaugen:
Would be nice birthday gift for me :), but i guess they dropped GB to focus on ICS.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtimeweb:
Using ACS and Samurai...

sometimes i want to turn my phone off to charge... I know i used to be able to do this on SRF, but now every time I try it boots the phone back up...

Is this normal behavior and if so does anyone know how to make it stop?

:)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmaster1:
you might need to update your ACS rom.. i know with some custom roms there was that problem. but wether your using RFS OR EXT4 shouldn't matter.
[HTC Sensation] jhobert:
Hi anybody knows of a good Bluetooth headset that can be used for listening to music and making phone calls, also one that has descent to excellent sound quality.
[HTC Sensation] shooric:
Motorola HT820, about 6-8 hours playtime. Built-in microphone, buttons to play/pause forward/backward answer calls plus volume buttons. I've been using those for the past 3 years. Great design, not too bulky sweat resistant design so they are perfect for gym.

Cheaper knock-off version - http://www.dealextreme.com/p/x6-sport-mp3-player-bluetooth-headset-w-fm-tf-101285
[HTC Sensation] _HTC_DHD_:
I've been using a SE MW600 with my HTC Desire HD and now with my Sensation, the sound quality is better then with the stock headset.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
+1

Sony Ericsson MW600 is a neat headset. Has FM radio as well. Great value on this headset even though you cannot see/read the tracks because you are not using a SE phone. But the radio does! And lists the song it plays on FM mode too.
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
I am using the JayBird F3, well worth the $100 they cost.

[HTC Sensation] rickvnl:
I've got the Jabra Halo. Works great and people can hear my voice very clear.
[HTC Sensation] jhobert:
How's the sound quality on music and call and does this work with the music app that came with the phone?
[HTC Sensation] philje123:
I have been using Jabra BT3030. Love it as I hate the ones that go around your head and like that I can use whatever headphones I like. Battery life is great and sound quality is really good.

Phil
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
The quality is excellent, not super bright on the treble, all options and buttons work with my Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Lomax01:
I have a Jabra Clipper but it constantly drops out. Does anyone else have this issue? Are there any tips for improving the connection, etc?
[HTC Sensation] Tone503773:
I'm using the Samsung HM3700 headset

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/BHM3700NDACSTA?from_mobile=true

In my personal use it has a good range, it handles bass well. But I am no audiophile so my expectations could be low :D
[HTC Sensation] llsinall:
yeah.maybe
[HTC Sensation] Bonoxx:
I have nokia BH 503 , more a music thing , but plenty of buttons (pick up , play , forward etc..) and real good battery life, nice sound , etc .. :)
[HTC Sensation] bikerg:
+1 for the MW600.

Cheap, works well... 3.5mm jack for your own headphones
[HTC Sensation] krazilogicz:
I just bought the Sony HBH-IS800's. They sound great and I got them off Amazon for $60. Only downside is 4-5 hours of battery life.
[HTC Sensation] wbdennis:
I too am looking for a good, inexpensive bluetooth headset, but I think what I desire is impossible. I am looking for a bluetooth headset that has a FM tuner built in, and has 10+ hour battery life or uses traditional AAA batteries. Anyone have any leads whatsoever?

I wonder if this same topic is in the general forum..........
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
The closest you'll get to that is the Sony Ericsson MW600. Battery life is great but it doesn't use AAA batteries. It does have a good FM radio built in and you can use your own earbuds.
[HTC Sensation] Ouzo:
Kpjimmy's right, the MW600 is very good. You can't charge it and use it at the same time, but I get over 7 hours use on a charge. Sounds good plugged into a hifi as well as with headphones : )
[HTC Sensation] JustANotherMe:
wrong u cant see it because android has not the whole Standard implemented ... every winmo phone 6,5 can do it easily ....

i use the MW600 btw
[HTC Sensation] Ouzo:
True, I was a bit surprised when I moved from the HD2. On the other hand, under Windows Mobile the hardware volume buttons on the phone are disabled when the MW600 is connected. If you're using it to stream music to a hifi this is very annoying. With Android this is not a problem. As the display is hard to read outside, I know which feature I'd rather have. As an aside, if you connect to an iPhone the MW600 will show you the time....
[HTC Sensation] JustANotherMe:
I would expect full support in the next android version .... since it got implemented a few weeks ago...
[HTC Sensation] wbdennis:
OK Good sir, I just ordered one. He is hoping for the best!:o
[HTC Sensation] wbdennis:
After using the MW600 for a few days now, I must say, it works great! Battery life lasts between 9.5 and 10.5 hours, and has good sound quality. The ear buds that came with it are not all that great, but works like a charm with my headset!
[Acer Iconia A500] dman777:
I bought a 10 " inch screen 8 gigabyte version of the A500 Iconia from Best Buy. Seems to be ether a new model or one only made for Best Buy. I haven't gotten it in yet through the mail. I wonder if it will have the same specs as the 16GB model(aside from the memory of course)....and the same quality.
[Acer Iconia A500] camelfoo:
They sell the 8gb version at Costco too. Once the sold out of the 32gb they pulled that in.

Sent from my ADR6300
[Acer Iconia A500] melcali:
how much. hopefully u didn't pay 16gb price.
[Acer Iconia A500] kramer987:
it was $220. i got one too.
[Acer Iconia A500] soreyes:
As of last week, the 8Gb was 350 at Costco here in the Seattle area. Came with a sort of weak free case.
[Acer Iconia A500] Gnoop:
Congrats on the purchase. I picked one up from Best Buy as well. Now if they'd get around to shipping it, I'd be even happier.

The two things that have been noticed on this one is the lack of mention of GPS anywhere (though many of us are hopeful that it has GPS) and that power indicates 110 whereas all other models indicate 110/220.

Haven't seen anything else yet so now we're all waiting for our units to arrive to begin the fun.
[Acer Iconia A500] jaksau:
Hi guys,

I got one too.. I hope they start shipping soon.

Here is the link for acer site for this tab: http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/XE.H8RPN.005

GPS is not mentioned in any of the versions of A500 tabs.
[Acer Iconia A500] kramer987:
pretty sure they all have GPS. plenty of threads exist with a500 users having wifi only models and using GPS. just make sure to apply all the GPS tweaks :)

a stock a500 isnt quite as hot as a tweaked out a500. earl reviews of the stock item at the original retail price were just OKAY at best. but if you tweak the little it turns into quite the little tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] melcali:
say what? i have a wifi only version(a500) and it has gps. no tweaks needed. i doubt these 8gb versions have gps. official acer site and best buy have no mention of gps at all.

can anyone that actually has one in hand check? what a total bummer if it didnt.
[Acer Iconia A500] kramer987:
this is the same a500 model as any of the other a500 models, with only 8gb. every a500 has built-in gps, just like every samsung galaxy tab 10.1 has gps. you dont need to have the 3G (a501) model to have gps.

the acer website doesnt list ANY of the 8/16/32 or 501 models as having GPS at all, so you can't go by that.
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
The 8gb one I bought at Costco has gps. I'm going to return it though because I decided to get a 32gb one from Tigerdirect for $400. 8gb just wasn't getting it done with Honeycomb's inability to move apps and data to the sdcard like Gingerbread. I was using almost all of the internal memory and I only had 8 of my games installed. Those Gameloft games need a lot of memory.
[Acer Iconia A500] ctiger:
I got the 32GB one from costco for a similar price, $350 + tax. But if you can get bestbuy's price at $220, it might worth it.
[Acer Iconia A500] kramer987:
its 429 plus tax at costco... did you use some kind of coupon?
[Acer Iconia A500] firetruck41:
The $229 8gb Acer A500 at Best Buy was a Cyber Monday deal that actually sold out by early Sunday morning. I think I saw "normal" pricing referred to as $380. I was lucky enough to snag one of the Cyber Monday tablets, but even though they say 0-1 day to ship, it is still "in process" and has not shipped yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] Gnoop:
I'm going to assume that means business days. It should be ready to ship today but who knows what the details are. Best Buy may not have them and are awaiting shipment from Acer which would explain why they weren't available immediately for store pickup (which was set at 5-7 days).

Hoping for the best as I'd like to get my hands on this tablet and start playing with it.
[Acer Iconia A500] jaksau:
Has anyone emailed them asking about estimated shipping date? I need to have this by 10th Dec. Has anyone bought from Best Buy before? How much time does the shipment take to arrive at CA after dispatch?
[Acer Iconia A500] touch-aaron:
I got an email on Tuesday that it was being shipped. I ordered it on Sunday, with 2-day shipping(not ground, not next day) and It will be here tomorrow (Wednesday).

From what I've read, it does NOT have a GPS in it. I'll have to find my sources, but if you google the SKU, it's a special, Best-Buy only device (from what I could find).

PS--logged in for the first time in like 2 years to make this post. (and to get my hands dirty again)
[Acer Iconia A500] jaksau:
Hi, is your order status in Best buy showing as 'In Process' or something else?

EDIT: also did you get any tracking number for shipment?
[Acer Iconia A500] touch-aaron:
I ordered Noon-ish on Sunday, and it said "processing, 0-1 days..blah blah" until about noon EST today (tuesday).

Yes, it gave me a tracking number, and the original order (with 2-day shipping) said EXPECTED DELIVERY: Nov 30-Dec 1. UPS shows it as on time, Nov 30 by the end of the day.

EDIT--it does say it shipped on the 28th, even though I didn't get an email or tracking number until mid-day the 29th.
[Acer Iconia A500] TacoSandwich85:
Lucky basterd! I ordered mine on Sunday at around 2:30am. Yeah that early, I don't know why I was still up that late lol. Mine still says order is being fulfilled or something like that so I the order hasn't been processed but it does let me cancel it anymore. The estimated dates I have are earliest Dec. 1 and latest Dec. 8

Yeah the folks over at slickdeals who bought the tab are all arguing on if it has GPS or not and if it has a flash mem or a micro hard drive. HAHA! I can understand the GPS debate, but the other one is just plain stupid.

And the tab does have GPS:

http://tablet-news.com/2011/10/01/a...d&utm_campaign=Feed:+TabletNews+(Tablet+News)

http://www.wirelessgoodness.com/201...ersion-of-its-iconia-tab-a500-android-tablet/

Excited to get mine and hopefully soon!

EDIT: And none of the A500 tabs on acer's official website list anything about GPS, but they obviously do so I would assume that this one does too.

Hope this helps!
[Acer Iconia A500] jaksau:
I ordered on Sunday 5am and have same status as you :(
[Acer Iconia A500] dogswind:
I ordered one of these around noon Sunday. Also hasn't shipped yet. I paid extra to get it by tomorrow or Thursday too..

I didn't know this 8GB version was a new addition though. Should it still be fully compatible with any current mods or roms out there?
[Acer Iconia A500] jaksau:
Well, it looks like exactly the same hardware except the memory...
[Acer Iconia A500] RonShallPerish:
I ordered one from Best Buy on Sunday morning...can't beat the price. Supposed to be here today too :)
[Acer Iconia A500] touch-aaron:
got mine today, and I can confirm it has GPS.
[Acer Iconia A500] melcali:
cool. is the power cord still 3 inches long?
[Acer Iconia A500] touch-aaron:
yeah, I'd say 3 feet tops.
[Acer Iconia A500] CJneo01:
Got mine today

I also got mine today from Best Buy- Cyber Monday. And it does have GPS :)
[Acer Iconia A500] tmacgarris6727:
No luck mines still 0-1 days shipping
[Acer Iconia A500] Gnoop:
Acer also posted in the Q/A section for this specific device on Best Buy's page indicating that it does have GPS.

Now if Best Buy would just get around to shipping mine :mad:
[Acer Iconia A500] dogswind:
Mine shipped out two days ago, but I just got the email. It's on the truck for delivery today.
[Acer Iconia A500] samlot:
I just called Best buy, (I too snag one by the way) and they said if its still under processing, it has not shipped. As soon as they ship it, you will receive another email and the status will change with tracking info. Mine is shipping today from Best buy, so awaiting email.
[Acer Iconia A500] jaksau:
Did u ask them when they would be shipping?
[Acer Iconia A500] samlot:
Shipping today
[Acer Iconia A500] DeanGibson:
GPS?

The actual box that the A500 comes in, says GPS, and indeed it has GPS.

However, the "ghost" box in the sales rack at Costco doesn't mention GPS; nowhere (that I can find) on the Acer web site does it mention GPS; when you call the Acer support center they don't know if it has GPS.

Morons.

The power cable with mine is 4 ft 10 inches.
[Acer Iconia A500] Gnoop:
I'd believe them... except I've been seeing some SD members getting their tablets while the site still shows "In Process" ;) Best Buy's phone message, when last I checked, said to expect the site to show a 5-7 day delay versus reality :eek:

I would hope this is more of a manpower issue than a system-based issue. Even with that, given this is a known big time of the season, maybe look into a bit more seasonal help? Particularly when you know you're putting out a good doorbuster lineup (the big to were the tv and laptop, but they had a slew of tablets and other stuff at good prices as well).
