[Acer Iconia A500] monkey10120:
Before you guys go crazy, I have a a500 right now and LOVE it!

But I am looking at the new Asus Prime, at least its not apple! I am a speed freak and I have to have the fastest I can get.

I am looking at this tablet ONLY for the Tegra 3, but I NEED a usb slot. I use my usb everyday and I do not know what I would do with out it. I would not mind using a keyboard for extra battery and a usb, but what if I did not want to use it and Im not at home, I dont want to leave a $150 keyboard just laying around.

Does anyone know if the docks can be reversed so the keys touch the back of the tablet when closed?(transformer or prime)

or do you think I should wait for the A510,700? A 1920x1200 screen would be amazing, and worth the wait.

There is no sure date when it will come out and when they do I have a really bad feeling there is going to be no usb. People want thin, that is the major complaints of this tablet, its actually too thin for me lol, but the usb slot forces it to the size it is now. So I dont know if should buy this now and have usb with the dock.

I know there are people who have both tablets and it would help with any suggestions.
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
Based on what I have seen with the transformer, I would say you probably cannot reverse it so the keys are on the outside. I haven't physically held one of those before so I cannot say 100% though.

If Acer decides to ditch the full sized USB in their Tegra3 tablets (which they better not) then you could also look at the Lenovo thinkpad tablets. They currently have a full size USB and I would be VERY surprised if their next gen android tabs didn't have it. Lenovo builds "enterprise" class products and a USB is quite important in an enterprise setting.
[Acer Iconia A500] monkey10120:
i was thinking about lenovo, because of the 2 gb ram. But my cousin bought his last month (Tegra 2) with keyboard for $750! No tablet is worth that.

I'm just really hoping that Acer doesn't drop there usb
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Im not a big Toshiba fan.But there tablet thou heavier and bulky.it has full size USB full size HDMI and full sized card sslot not just micro.

I have seen some people that own it love it.They too will be rushing a ics tablet to market I'll guessing it will remain with all the ports. Toshiba is known for this.

I do like the lenova products as well.But this acer tablet is super ffast does what I need. Just wish browser was a bit more compatible with web content.such as pogo and so on.

I would say WAIT WAIT WAIT.And see what t3 will bring.

Good luck

It looks like Acer is keeping their USB ports!

This is a link to the a200 video. It looks great but it is only going to be a tegra 2.:-[

Others may know about this already but I had trouble finding it so I thought I should post it for everyone. The pandaboard binary and source is available for download at the locations below. I have switched out a system app and it works with some added functionality where other builds did not (wpa_supplicant).

This info has been extremely valuable to me in learning how to develop for the NT and I'm betting we can use this to work around some of the other limitations of the current system apps. Enjoy!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTXCI:
Okay, so Im trying to do a PRL update on my Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V. I downloaded all the required software (CDMA Workshop, QPST v2.7.323_(2008-09-19), and the newest PRL for Sprint 60683). I installed the LG Universal Serial Drivers v3.3, and then installed CDMA Workshop. I opened Device Manager in Windows start menu, checked the current port of the LG Android Platform USB Serial Port (which is set to COM2), I then enabled USB Debugging on my phone, opened CDMA Workshop, clicked the drop-down menu to connect to port COM2, and it connected, BUT sometimes it randomly doesnt connect. After it successfully connected to COM2, I clicked on the "Security" tab in CDMA Workshop, clicked the drop-down menu under "SPC / User Lock" and changed it to "LG method", and then clicked "Read", itll start to attempt to read, and then in the bottom of the window in CDMA Workshop, it says "Failed..Phone does not answer".

What in the world is going on? Ive tried rebooting my PC, reinstalling the drivers, restarting CDMA Workshop, and changing the ports up but it NEVER reads my MSL!!! Do you all know whats going on? Is it becasue im running IHO BACKside CyanogenMod 7.2? Do I have to be using a Stock ROM when retrieving my MSL? I even tried the method of logging into my Virgin Mobile account, and then clicking that link (this https://www1.virginmobileusa.com/myaccount/login.dofsdf that says Error 404 not found, but the page doesnt even say a 404 Error, it says "The specified URL cannot be found".

What do i do guys???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hackmaster1:
Get MSL LG Optimus Black

I Am Not 100% sure this will work for your model but i downloaded LogCat to my PC and searched the code is under

D/InfoItems( 1572): Msl is filled as : 111221........................ hope this helps... your MSL probably isnt the same but it worked . you may have to search in the edit box for msl and just keep clicking down til u find it.
[Xoom General] mhobbs82:
Please help!!! After I was able to unlock my xoom and went reboot just before the adb remount command it just stays on the red M screen. I am able to get Starting RSD Protocol and Starting fastboot protocol at the top left but that is it. Also I have been able to connect with rsd lite but I dont have the sbf file and can't find it on the web anywhere. Please help!

Thanks in Advance
[Xoom General] treyatl2006:
If you are able to boot into Fastboot Protocol, you probably dont need rsd lite. You should be able to flash all of the files in the command prompt. Try re-locking your Xoom to see if that get you out of the soft brick. If it does, you can then try to unlock it again.

You can re-lock your Xoom by typing the following in the command prompt (while booted into fastboot protocol):

fastboot oem lock

Once you do this, follow the instructions on your Xoom's screen.

If it works, your Xoom should restart back into factory state once it's finished flashing the files.
[Xoom General] mhobbs82:
I got it to lock back now I have Failed image LNX 0x0002 at the top??
[Xoom General] _TB_TB_:
Reboot in fastboot mode (power + vol up, after ~2 secs keep pressing vol-down repeadetly, until Fastboot appears; confirm selection with vol-up) and flash stock via fastboot

fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

You may re-unlock your XOOM after successful update, re-root it, etc.
[Xoom General] mhobbs82:
After the first line of code all I get is (cannot load 'system.img'). I really appreciate the help that I have gotten so far!

I now have managed to get it into CWM recovery... I am going to flash the rest of the steps in the universal root method.
[Xoom General] mhobbs82:
Thanks again! I ended up reflashing the rom from CWM recovery and now I am rooted and back running! :-) !!!
[Xoom General] treyatl2006:
Im glad you were able to fix it.
[Xoom General] sashykanth:
Xoom wifi rooted but OEM locked again without any img files copied

I unlocked using fastboot oem unlock. But was trying to copy CM zip file using adb push. But I was getting stuck at fastboot screen where it says "starting fasboot protocol support" and nothing happens.

So I wiped /data and /cache

it did not help.

so I locked back again (fastboot oem lock). Now I am stuck with the message

Failed to boot LNX 0x0004

starting RSD mode 2

OneWire: Charger is connected....

Battery charge level: 92% (last two lines are irrelevant anyway)

SO I assume now that I dont have any image it wont boot normal. And since its locked I am not even able to get into fastboor or recovery which were installed correctly before.

help pls.

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

I ca run fastboot command. fastboot reboot command does reboot the device. But then it comes back to the screen like this:

--> Fastboot

Starting Fastboot protocol support.

with the Red M in middle.

So I cam not able to run adb but can run fastboot commands. Due to this I can not copy the CM and flash using recovery.

I am able to get to recovery screen too by pressing volume down while rebooting.

But when I try adb push to copy the CM zip, it says error: device not found

Pl help. How do I get the CM zip to the device and run it using recovery (using clockwork).

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

Problem was I was using the wrong recovery image. Did not realize latest one does not work with xoom. Thanks. found the xoom recovery version in this forum.

Prior to posting any tutorial, I'm going to try and work everything out.

Just trying to pool together some knowledge...

I have talk and text, 3G keeps on dropping out. When the connection is established, everything is great. The bad thing is that it only stays connected for 15-30 seconds at best.

Catlog for a disconnect....

It appears that without APNs on this device, it will not even attempt to register on the mobile data network.

rlockwich ran into the same problems I did. I'm sure it will become free public knowledge eventually.

Mine is on Verizon so I probably won't be playing with it again until there is a full SBF out.

give please some info how to flash another network for voice and text
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hyogen:
I got my droid RAZR flashed at a store (thru FlashtoTalk ...flash2talk).

they said for it to work properly you need a microSIM card.

so i went to verizon and bought one for $20 (unactivated of course).

Before that, my calls, and texts didn't even work. Once i put it in the calls and texts worked.....

but internet will not work.

I had the Greenk45 and stuff before so I tried it (I was on 45 dollar plan), but that WILL NOT WORK because there is no 3G icon at the top........

I tried switching my plan to the $55 plan.............internet doesn't work at all. no 3G logo either.

anyone know how to do this?

thanks

About 3 people worked on this phone on CUF, and I think Dina has perfected the method.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sherifone:
Has anyone else noticed that Google Talk behaves quite a bit different on ICS?

In the past, on all my Gingerbread phones 2.3-2.3.7 the chat history would be synced to my phone regardless of where i sent the messages.

For example, if I sent 35 messages on my iPhone and picked up my android 2.3ish device, all the messages I sent would be in the chat log with that person.

Now in ICS on the Galaxy Nexus it does not seem to do that, or does it very inconsistently. Is there something I am missing, or did they try to make it "intelligent" and try to only send messages to the device that you're having a conversation on. If so, thats really disappointing :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paulhobbs:
Did you ever figure this out? I am having the same issue on my Asus Transformer Prime running ICS (4.0.3). I can send a message from the Prime, but it won't show up in the chat history on the Prime. But when I view it on my laptop or phone, it shows up immediately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NathanielCaron:
Miss History

I miss it very much also... And searching for history either in gmail app or in gtalk does not work.

That is another function I was praising about on my phone that's now removed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruda.almeida:
Similar issue

I am having a similar issue. Do not own a Nexus, but a Defy, running ICS / cyanogen 9. The conversations I make on the device doesn't show up on the gmail site. Haven't tested the other way round.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tarzanman:
I have noticed this being buggy also. It usually works properly, but there are a few Google Talk messages I sent that were never synchronized to the log on my Google account.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nraman1:
Hi,

My galaxy s2 has started having several strange issues,

1st problem: when I try power my phone on I get a half full battery sign followed by a thermometer warning sign,and the phone won't turn on unless I plug it in,

2nd problem: computer won't detect phone via USB.

3rd problem, phone says "MPT connected" in notification bar,even when nothing is plugged in

4th problem, phone snows 100% charged symbol in too left and says "phone fully charged" even when phone is not plugged in,

Phone is only a few months old and is on stock there firmware running 2.3.5

Anyone have any fixes or will I have to send it to Samsung?

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Doesn't look good. Might be a job for Samsung.

Had a similar problem with my S1. I think it was caused by a rain drop in the USB port.

[HTC Wildfire S] meanmug:
There seems to be a lot of confusion going on between the gsm and cdma versions of the Wildfire S, and people are causing big problems for themselves by not reading(or cant read), plus its also a headache for other users trying to pick thru useless information to get what they need. Maybe a little to late, but is there anyway to split this forum up?
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
Good idea, was thinking of the same thing to do.

The forum can be split, I've done it on PHPBB3, I don't know whether it works on VBulletin (Isn't that what this forum uses? Correct me if i'm wrong.)
[HTC Wildfire S] thesnaz:
Thirded, would help stop stupid people (like myself) from bricking their phones by flashing the wrong ROM ;_;
[HTC Wildfire S] xxcrashxx:
I agree, this should be done. I too bricked my first wildfire s after trying to use the "stock roms" listed in the stickied thread at the top of this forum. Stuff in that post is kinda mixed, or mislabeled, or even unlabeled. I don't recall seeing anything about GSM only roms on the few I looked at, but there is a chance I did over look it.

but yes, Wildfire S CDMA thread split!!!! :D
[HTC Wildfire S] mbbous:
Idea is gold. Already quasi-bricked one phone :mad:
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
Good idea, will save a lot of hassle and money, in some cases. :p
[HTC Wildfire S] ScottPomroy:
sounds like a plan!!!
[HTC Wildfire S] GotsOJ:
This is a good idea, even more so bc it appears that a lot of people have jumped on the holiday deals for the Virgin mobile WFS. Please split this thread!
[HTC Wildfire S] bsoplinger:
I'm one of those folks but at least I already own an Android tablet so rooting, etc. wasn't a new concept. But since I already lost 5 bucks (not very much I know) purchasing a case for the "other" Wildfire S instead of the Virgin Mobile one I think it's a great idea.

Related question: I searched but perhaps didn't use the correct magic combination of search terms. Is there a thread somewhere that explains the differences between the different versions of the phone? Things like size, location of ports that sort of thing so my case problem will never happen again?
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
The virgin mobile one is called A510c which is a CDMA phone. As you know, CDMA phones don't have a sim card slot. I'm not quite sure about the A510a version. A510b has a slower processor as compared to the A510e which has a 600MHz processor.

Hope this helped!
[HTC Wildfire S] brandonhun:
I agree with this tread. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
In Favor

I would concur. Much like Hero and Hero CDMA or other variants. I tried to port the Euro version over to the CDMA side last night. No working touchscreen; which, sucks when it boots up to a lockscreen ;) Anyway, the devices are quite different.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vMAC:
Are there any kernels that support OpenVPN (tun.ko) loading for the Epic Touch 4G? I'm coming from a EVO 4G so losing this would be a pretty big deal for me. Anyone who can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

I just unboxed my EPIC Touch 4G and before I go rooting it and messing with the ROM's I want to verify kernel support for OpenVPN and setCPU. Thanks in advance.

I have read little about this issue . Instead of renaming or deleting files can we make auto booting script to kill this process so it will no longer looking for a mobile data ?

I have no android skills so am asking somebody who have it. Maybe there is other safe way to ged ride of that battery eating cell standby process

Proudy owner of iconia

Pawel

PS

I have try

(Without doing nothing 50% SCREEN AND WIFI TOGETHER 40 % after change a charg iconia to 100 % and wiape battery stats)

2g/3g mobile data switching best results cel standby takkes only 35% battery

Kill mobile data and prevent to run almost same thing

Cheat with airplne mode same thing

Try to download from market a.k.a batery saver for acer iconia without any results (thor mod with i have is based on assus transformer and market shows incompatible version?)
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
Dear Pavel,

this is a rather old issue, solved long time ago. You can just add the following lines in your build.prop file, located in the system folder:

ro.carrier=wifi-only

Thor's ROM features this tweak by default so you don't have to do anything - no cell standby.
[Acer Iconia A500] pawel_podgorski:
Well thor rom have this line indeed. And when U check settings about tablet battery indeed isnot showing .

When U install any other app to show battery stats actually shows cell standby and phone idle. I using norton utilities but few other ones shows.

I left for a night tablet screen off, gps off , wi fi on, airplanemode on and after 6h i have 15 % drop down. 8 H on my iconia possible when everithing is off.

Ps

Writing this post 3% down... and tablet was bought on black friday is brand new is that normal ?
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
If your tablet is new did you fully charge and then discharge the battery to about where it auto shuts off.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
There are a couple of things to mention. If you are running an over clocked processor, this will of course use more battery power. Especially with thors roms, because the last time I looked, depending on version, it installed over clocked to 1.5ghz. If you don't need that much, try setting it to 1.2 for example.

Apps that are always running and synching. Things like weather apps, mail, fb, etc. And... those lovely battery apps (a waste of time). And this also includes Norton, as it runs as a process. All of these use battery power.

And as briandigital said, let the battery get a few full changes. Usually takes them about a week to settle down.
[Acer Iconia A500] pawel_podgorski:
I agree with U. Those apps using battery. For example weather widget 0.5 % or norton 0.5 % but still shows 60 + % cell standby or 2% phone idle. wifi over night 30 % with checking mail every 15 min.

Over Clocking got nothing to do with this (1000 on screen on 400 on off) system proces phone is running all the time draining battery.

I have thor 14.2 mod and to get 100 % shure I flash again kernel and dubble chec for wifi-only line.

Wipe battery stats and 10 min after cell stanby 30 % after 30 back to 63 %

Or 5 diffrent apps from market are wrong showing cell standby and system process phone working and draining battery or this all solutins are not really working. If it not showing on /settings /battery is not mean process is not working

Anybody know how to kill that process and prevent to run ?

so can write small script to kill it"
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I'll ask you a silly question.

And only because I didn't see it stated anywhere (or I missed it)

Are you running an A500? or an A501?

3g USB Dongle?

Did you run any "update patches" concerning 3g Dongle support?

Reason I ask, is that I did some of the testing for the kernel version you are using. (3.9r3). And frankly, I haven't heard a lot of 500 users complain about "cell standby" with the 14Rom. In fact the combo should be giving you extremely good battery life.

You said it only shows cell standby when using some other different application? I might suggest the app is not telling the truth.

Typically, losing 10% overnight with wifi on, is pretty normal. During testing, I lost 8% on internal 3g, and about 10 or 11 with Wifi. FB and Mail not's set to 1hr intervals. WX at 3hrs.

The fact you still have the menu system for mobile networks (2g/3g) is very puzzling......

Did you post this issue on Thor's site? www.tegraowners.com
[Acer Iconia A500] pawel_podgorski:
Ok from begin

1. A500 wifi only 16 Gb ver, staples for 299

2. No any addons clear tablet nothing plugin, kernel and rom from thor14v2

3. No any updadtes

4. Am not complaining about battery life, am complaining about stupid process what is draning my battery.

5. A can post 5 screenshoots of different apps whitch showing cell standby process draining battery. Whatever i will download from market kit is showing same so i believe they're not wrong.

6. Never post that to thor forum. Here is way more chances to get respond
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You should re-think about posting on Thor's site. He's typically pretty responsive. Unless it's a stupid question, or somebody's not nice.

The cell standby issue is an old one. It's because the 500 and 501 share the same hardware with the exception of internal 3g for the 501. And because of that, the share mostly the same OS code.

Thors rom, was based on the asus transformer. I don't run it, as it doesnt fully support internal 3g.

It's possible, that the process is still running, only hidden from view based on the images you supplied with the modified build.prop set to wifi-only.

In this case, I would ask you again, to post the issue on Thors FORUM under the Rom ver 14 topic. It may take him a day to answer, as he's working on ICS right now.

In the meantime, here at xda in the a500 forum, there are several "older" topics covering cell standby on the a500. One of the fixes at the time, was to "freeze" the telephoney.apk (get some error messages) then reboot.

Just do a search for cell standby, and you'll find them. I found them earlier today through Google (but can't remember where), so you should be able to do the same.
[Acer Iconia A500] pawel_podgorski:
