[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
After having my A500 for 8 months, I dropped it the other day from about waist high onto this office carpteting (not a very soft landing). I was holding it under my arm while messing with a broken umbrella and let it slip. Quickly checked it to make sure the screen didn't crack.. All was fine.... until....

later that night went to turn it on and immediate "felt" something was wrong. It had landed right on the corner where the power button is. Power button itself is fine, but the plastic kind of buckeled up right next to it, make it hard to press. Then I noticed that the casing doesn't fit tight in that corner anymore. Can't get it to snap in, so now there's a small gap along the upper part where the volume switch is.

Everything still works fine, thank goodness. I think the aluminum corner got bent just a little. I might have to pop the cover off and see how i might fit it back together correctly.
[Acer Iconia A500] Deisel23:
Would like to see some pics if you do gut this thing. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] powercat_:
Had it been an ipad, it'd be shattered in a million pieces.
[Acer Iconia A500] a_rocklobster:
Lol. At least a million. Then auto-billed you for your replacement x]
[Acer Iconia A500] appoaf:
I know this is kind of old, but did you get anywhere? My 3yr old dropped mine, same symptoms: broke part of the plastic around pwr btn, slightly bent aluminum, gap around volume rocker. The volume key keeps falling in... I've taken it apart, and it seems the snap fastener in that corner was sheered... Let me know if you tried any fixes.
[Acer Iconia A500] pinmemo:
my A500 in cheap as* leather chinese ebay case hit the ground just like the OP and luckily the landing point was the reset button not the power. A big chunk of plastic around the USB ports is all gone though..

ACER is known for making fragile devices, however just like the above cat said, "Had it been an ipad, it'd be shattered in a million pieces."
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
My A500 is in a Belkin case. It dropped from carrying height to a blacktop parking lot. No damage... that was Summer, 2011. Still fine.
[Acer Iconia A500] evelbug:
Mine had a similar fall as above. It fell out of my bag while getting it out of the car onto the parking lot. The corner doesn't fit together tightly where the power button is. Since it doesn't fit flush in that corner, the rear camera doesn't focus right, but I never use the rear camera. When I dropped it, I thought it was done for, so I'm happy it faired as well as it did
[Acer Iconia A500] Bull3t_Or_Blade:
Our Bullmastiff has sat on mine, more than once jumping on the sofa. Google Bullmastiff pic and you'll have an idea...:eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] skurtov:
Mine took a tumble down the basement stairs onto a concrete floor. It didn't survive, but I replaced the digitizer on my own:)
[Acer Iconia A500] Deleted member 5143193:
Ive dropped it a couple of times, but only small distances and it has landed flat on it's back.

Thank goodness it's alright!
[Acer Iconia A500] superhotluv:
I broke mine too.

way back in September 2011, I dropped mine from the waist height, and broke the digitizer. Luckily all was working. Though heart broken, still I kept on working with it. Approached Acer, and they quoted a total replacement cost of $250 :eek:.

Started to look for replacements in EBay, but unfortunately the cost was closet to $200

Anyway, I decided not to get it done from ACER. I was just lucky that the damage was in one corner, (mostly in the black border) and few non irritating long cracks across the screen. So I just covered the black border with another Black tape and used the tab in the same condition for next 8 months.

By June 2012 the digitizer cost in ebay dropped to $70. I bought and replaced it myself. Now the Tab is absolutely fit and fine. Now the digitizer costs almost $30 on Ebay. So any one still waiting for a replacement, I would recommend buying one from ebay.

Within a few days of replacement, I bought a TPU cover. This has a very sticky back, and gives you great confidence and convenience in handling the tab. This TPU cover is highly recommended.

Now its 8 more months ever since I replaced the digitizer, and nothing has ever happened it so far.

Though this hardware is 2 years old, but I am still in love with this hardware. I have an additional Samsung tab 2, but nothing to beat ACER. :cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] JGBE50:
Glad to read those ACER hardware stories with happy endings. Hope I won't have to write myself that kind of stories.;)

Im surprised you got it to install, I've tried several times to get Ubuntu to install on my old Toshiba satellite and it always hangs during the initial set up.
[Off-topic] conantroutman:
Probably related to the video card.

I couldn't get any ubuntu type distribution to run on my similarly old laptop.

OpenSeus or Fedora did work though.

If it's a gpu error I actually told another a fix for that in a previous thread posted. :p It's pretty easy, you have to boot into "nomode set" and install the propriety drivers then when you reboot everything should be okay. :) I don't quite remember the exact specifics but it is something like that. For me the gpu problem was that the screen went to boot, then went black. It was a fairly easy fix and hope this is relevant to the OP's post.

Hi Dax,

Is MIUI v4 compatible with different DPIs? In normal MIUI, the UI is cracked is distorted under 182 DPI.

I'm now using 192 DPIs in ICS though, and currently extreamly happy. And to my surprised, I just tried Doctor ICS, which comes with MIUI camera, which isn't distorted.

Gosh, MIUI v4 lock just like ICS with sexy plain white theme! Sooooooo TEMPTING!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hydrokitsune:
So I've been reading threw the forums on EVERY phone not just the Captivate on how to get my phone recognized on my computer when I'm in debugging mode/download mode nothing works. I haven't even ROOTED my phone which is why I was trying to get my phone to connect in the first place but I can't even get this far. Maybe rooting just wasn't meant for me.

ANY help will be greatly appreciated whether it be links to something you think I may have missed or actual information regarding this issue.

Either way, Thank you in advance, and happy holidays.

Also more info on what I've tried already, Re-installing drivers, restarting, trying different USB ports.

I'm willing to go back threw these steps if they are different from the ones I have tried before, hell I'll be willing to go back and try it again even if I have done it if it seems to have worked for you or someone else.

I will try that as well just so I have using my linux box as an option but I finally did get all of my computers to detect the phone with any of my 4 cables. I got desperate and took apart the phone to see if there were any visible issues with the USB port. It looked as though there was lint or grease between couple of the pins to the board on the USB port so I took a toothbrush and some rubbing alcohol and cleaned it up. I let it dry and reassembled the phone and then much to my delight it was detected! I promptly got it into download mode and flashed back to a rooted stock 2.3.5 with GB bootloader and CWM boog kernel. Phone is so much smoother than it was with 2.1 :)
