[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You can flash rom's till your heart is broken. You still won't get 3g unless you run on an AT&T network, with AT&T's own data sim. That's the harsh reality.

That specific ATT Acer a501 is specifically made for ATT. Currently there is no method to "unlock" the Sim portion like you can on most phones, as it resides on a separate chip inaccessable to Devs, and no possible workarounds.

Flashing a different rom has no effect. And contacting ATT will result in a variety of answers, each ending with no resolution unfortunately.

A lot of people bought these tab's, then went back to Europe only to discover they couldn't use them on a network. Should have read the fine print.

You may however, be able to run a 3g dongle. Don't know and never tried, but I suppose it's possible.

Being in Europe may give a chance that a different sim may work, but I haven't heard yet. I've heard that some people with phones, had their sim's reprogrammed in the Ukraine to simulate being on a US based network to, but when they returned to the US, they had to get a new sim ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Ummm bro, OP clearly stated it was an ATT 501, and he was using ATT sim card ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
He needs an ATT Data Sim. I think I stated that in the beginning, but you know KJY, I need new glasses bro. ;)

The rest was just info from some other poor souls who bought those tabs assuming the would work under other networks.

Just like I can't use my Beeline Sim in my Tab. 2 different Sims.

Again, in case I was misunderstood. ;)

But then again, I could be wrong.
[Acer Iconia A500] SErooted:
really appreciate the info guys. Ill have to look more into it. Yes I am running an art sim. But like stated, they don't like someone running unlimited 3g in their tablet. I'm trying to figure it out and have tried Harmon ROM but no luck. I'm wondering if it was cause I had WiFi on. Anyone at all had the 3g art sim working in one of these?
[Acer Iconia A500] SErooted:
Harkon rom did work. My first install must not have loaded correctly. Thanks guys for all your input. I appreciate it!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
What is an "ART" Sim? or was it a typo for ATT? ;)

Also, you can check you APN settings in the mobile network settings if you have another issue, and make sure they reflect the carrier.

When you have Wifi connected (not just turned on, but an actual connection, the Wifi takes presidence over 3g. This is normal.

Leaving Wifi on all the time has an advantage. You can travel between locations without losing data connection.

The disadvantage, is it uses unnecessary battery power when not connected.

You should be free to try the other 501 roms. Just do the complete wipes and formats between flashing as per the instructions. There are cases where risidual files leftover from a previous install have effected a new install.

Glad it's working for you.
[Acer Iconia A500] SErooted:
it was meant to say att sim, sorry didn't catch the typo before sending. Yes it is work great! I won't be changing my rom again anytime soon. If I find one that work and functions the way I want I keep it for awhile. Once I start my web design and development classes, I will be making my first official rom. Thanks for all the feedback guys. I really do appreciate it.

The community here is more welcoming and quick to respond compared to the community on my

mobile phone. Thanks for this also.

hey all,

I'm having an issue with CyanogenMod 7.1 on my SGS, it was working perfectly, but i have a strange problem that only happened this evening.

I backed up the rom as i want to put a new image onto my SGS, but the initial backup failed, so i used the 3 button combo to perform the backup via the recovery menu which succeeded.

Now here is the issue i cannot get the device to boot past the blue Android with swirling blue ring logo, i have tried to restore the backup image with no success. If i perform a factory reset everything works but i have lost my data.

I have cleared Dalvik and cache with no success.

I need help with this one
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Nice heads-up :)

Have you actually had the chance to play with a HC Prime before?

If so can you tell us if you noticed differences in speed and all those things?

I am pretty sure we can re-activate that dev-mode via custom ROMs :)

Did you see whether that powersaving - contrast reducing - broken feature when changing to powersave mode is present in ICS?

How about the custom Quicksettingsbar, does it look like the HC one?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flight777:
Yes I have one myself and they had a few HC versions there too :-) Sadly I did not noticed alot of speed differences between HC and ICS. Neither did other people who were testing them. It was still really smooth however, maybe the transitions were bit smoother than HC and the browser was a big improvement (no lag :) ). Also the keyboard lag was almost gone completely. But in terms of speed that was it, I think. Keep in mind that this was still a development version ;) It did had alot less FCs than HC.

The quick settings bar was exactly the same as in the HC version (but with the Roboto font). I do not know about the power-saving feature, did not really paid attention to that but I did not see anything bad or funny happen when I switched to it (it did reduced the brightness like normal)...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jptech:
dev mode

there are other things for dev mode like power saving being disabled, no timeout for screen and wifi always on, that sort of thing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flight777:
Yes true, I will upload the video tomorrow (getting late now and it is a large file). It is not very good quality but it shows the UI a bit and if you look carefully you can read the DEV menu settings :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Nice to hear. Dev versions are normally

way

slower than release builds. So if the dev version runs the same speed we can be pretty sure ICS won't leave much place for complaints :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Yea but those things are normal for any Android device. But ICS has

way

more options, that's pretty cool :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
Bedankt!

Did they also tell if the OC function was going to be a option in the final version which we get via OTA? Would be pretty cool, less need to root/unlock at least.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flight777:
Graag gedaan ;)

Nope it won't like I said in the original post, only for ASUS devs :( At least, that was what he said... But I think our XDA devs have no problem to restore this feature :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cbyankees3:
Did you ask about the bluetooth and wifi issues
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flight777:
Nope, but I tested it with both my HC version, the HC version they have there and the ICS version and they there was almost no impact on WIFI performance when bluetooth was on and vice versa. Wifi was fine during the party but they also placed one of their high end routers in the center of the room ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I think the Prime on HC is plenty smooth and fast in general and don't really expect much improvement from ICS in this regard. However, if ICS manages to make for a better stock browsing experience, I think it'll pretty much live up to my expectations.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cbyankees3:
Good to hear. Hopefully my unit will not have any problems. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rakeshchn:
Did they already fix the hdmi audio issue, multi channel only relaying to left speaker?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
Yah I agree. The speed is top notch. The smoothness is just a bit below ipad standards but its fairly marginal and doesn't effect actual usage. I have been pleasantly surprised with the speed and even smoothness of HC after hearing so many complaints about it on tegra 2 and other devices. Heck even text input for me has been very good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I wonder if they fixed:

1. browser bookmarks sync function, which simply does NOT work

2. battery details on apps in the settings does not work. We need to see app battery usage, not just system processes. ICS has a greatly advanced function they showed at the ICS conference, it better make it into the tablet and Asus better have improved the kernel to collect and display the data with the cool new ICS battery usage display

3. we need more and better widgets as the selection is a joke
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
YES! I love posts like these from people on the inside. Another reason to love xda so much. I'm really interested in that Dev. overclocking mode. if its said it can easily be clocked over 1.4Ghz then with developers here we might could possibly see 2Ghz or a lil higher. of course stability and heat is a major factor. This is all great news. plus I like how they said they will still release software updates to improve GPS as best as possible. ICS sounds like its nice also. Thanks again for this info OP. Prime seems to get better by the day. Plus I got my NEODROID(NeoGeo emulator) installed. we on a roll :D

edit: I wonder if those overclocks are across the board, all 4 cores, or on a single core. regardless it'll be faster n more powerful. I WANT IT NOW! lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
you're not going to notice the problem with Bluetooth and Wifi both just enabled. When Bluetooth is turned-on but nothing paired and in-use for then it is just as good as being off.

You have to pair a Bluetooth device and operate it in conjunction with the Wifi,

the best way is to stream something like video (i.e. Netflix, Youtube, Hulu, Amazon) on the Prime and listen to it in stereo with some stereo Bluetooth headphones. You're going to notice the problem in 1-3 minutes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
i really wonder if we can use all5 cores at once lol!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flight777:
I was sending some photos which I took with the prime (8mp) to my mobile and in the meanwhile was browsing the web... :P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flight777:
Sorry, I don't know that :( They did not enabled sound on the devices that were hooked to TVs because it was in a club and there was "loud" music in the background.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flight777:
1. Couldn't test so dont know ;)

2. They have put in the ICS battery stats and functions :) was really nice!

3. There were some more but not alot
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
Can't wait for ICS to see how it handles on this
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flight777:
Added a video :) sorry for the out of focus :( only had a really short time to film so couldn't do it again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
Now how is that suppose to be the same as what i just described? :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flight777:
Bluetooth was not stationary and was transferring files to my phone (large files 8mb/piece about 10 - 12 of them) and in the meanwhile I was browsing internet and I do recall that I also tested the youtube app then. So it is not exactly what you described but still some sort of indication I think ;)

Edit:

Oh wait, missed the word CONJUNCTION :P Sorry, disregard what I said above!

hi

I tried to install custom ROM but when phone reboot it stuck on "triangle android" seems first i have to unlock my boatloader.

Can you post me link..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
It means that you didn't flash the file that removes stock recovery reinstaller - and stock recovery is reinstalled on stock ROM boot.

Reboot back to ROM, root again, this time when you reboot to recovery first time, flash the file. It's found in Nexus One Wiki, section "Recovery".
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1newbie:
Its not at all necessary to unlock the bootloader. Did u install custom recovery before flashing a custom rom? I think u skipped that step.

Simple and best way for starters like us :) is to

1.root via super one click root

2. Install rom manager from market and wid the help of that, flash clockworkmod(cwm) recovery.

3. Install Titanium backup from market and do a backup up of ur apps.

4. Choose the correct rom of ur choice by reading the OP and the thread.

5. Download it and install it via rom manager.

6. Before that back up your current rom and wipe the system,cache,dalvik cache.

Thats it, u r good to go. :thumbup:

This is how i did n doing good :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
Whenever I am in CWM & I let the phone sit idle, after about 15 - 20 seconds, it'll suddenly say "back button disabled." on the screen & then only the vol up/down works(power just makes the screen go off/on). At that point i'll have to do a battery pull... Yet it's only if I let it sit idle.

Is this some sort of setting that's on by default? Can it be disabled?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
No idea, but it happens to me.. also happened on previous phones though so I don't think it's a problem unique to the GN.

Sometimes it happens to me while I'm navigating though not if I let the phone idle :/

Continue to cycle through the menu and it will return to normal.

I've had a similar experience with cwm. But if I just scroll back and forth a bit usually it reenables itself. You might not need to do the battery pull if you give it a few seconds.

[Thunderbolt General] bolt_of_thunder:
So the last few days my phone has had a constant data connection unless I manually turn it off. I have uninstalled all recent app updates and even stopped syncing my corporate email thinking those were the problems. Not so. This problem started randomly.

I believe I have heard about an app(a) that monitors for rogue apps/processes. Anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

[Thunderbolt General] number5toad:
there's an app called Watchdog (paid, but with a free Lite version) that monitors your apps and alerts you when one loses control so you can kill it - I think it's monitoring CPU use rather than data use, but I imagine they're not completely unrelated?

I used it when I first got my 'Bolt and it was pretty handy, but after I decided to just uninstall the two or three apps that were really going nuts, it became fairly useless to me. might be a good thing to use in the short term and see if you get any insight.

[Thunderbolt General] movielover76:
It's possible

It might be the rom, I've never used that one, but I use push with my work exchange server and I've occasionally ran into problems with the exchange setup with a few roms, mostly sense roms. AOSP roms have always worked fine for me. Using an app like juice defender is just covering up the problem, it's not a via resolution to the problem.

Generally I stay away from using apps like juice defender, you can save battery life simply by monitoring and ensuring that all of your sync data connections are set at a reasonable time for your particular usage and battery needs. Juice defender and apps like it are like using a sledgehammer to drive a small nail.
