[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
If you Google Acer A700 you'll see that the specs on that tab have been out for awhile. I'll be waiting to see if Acer delivers ICS to this tab first. If they drop support on this tab, there's no way in h3ll I'll be purchasing another Acer tab. If they do give us ICS on our tabs, I'll be grabbing the A700, as it seems it's going to be the best "bang for the buck" among the 2012 tabs ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I agree 120% with this .. I have a birthday coming in MAY .. Giggles..

if my a500 does not get the support it should.. i might just wait and get a win 8 arm tablet.. and Dual Boot it .but there is always battery issues with windows . we will see what the tech word brings us in 2012.. for now my a 500 meets all the HAVE to have needs.. as if i really NEED a tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
Acer always seems to be giving the best bang for your buck, whether it is laptops or not tablets.

One gripe I have against acer is their bloatware. Some may like it but others (like myself) can't stand it.

Also keep in mind that acer is releasing the A200 soon. It's pretty much the same spec wise as the A500 but apparently has no rear facing camera. The pricing looks quite attractive though. I'm still happy with my A500. I actually have no desire to replace it with something newer and better, and I usually drool over the latest and greatest in technology.
[Acer Iconia A500] mkw87:
I've had an a500 since november and the build quality is great. They have been providing adequate updates so far, and I expect them to provide ICS, but we will see.

Ive been wanting to get a second tablet bc my daughter always has this one and wouldn't hesitate to buy another acer.
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
Other than build quality ill be looking at development on market app as well as on xda

Gameloft and other game developers choose a500 as a flag ship for development another reason I choose this tablet over Asus, Samsung, and Mototrola. I contacted Gameloft before I picked up a 10.1 tablet around September and asked them what tablet to pick up they told me Acer Iconia because Acer has been the only company that was helping them out the most with developmental needs.. so of course when I went to best buy they were out of a500s and I had 300 bucks from trading in my Droid incredible and I didn't want to wait so I picked up the thrive because of the nice stuff included with it.. but ended up having nothing as far as xda & others so picked up tf101 loved it but it kept slipping out of my hands.. lol so bestbuy finally called me to tell me the Acer was in so I picked it up answer fell in love with it. So that my awesome story and we lived happily ever after :-)

So I will most likely pick up Acer if top devs do aswell.
[Acer Iconia A500] username235:
Thanks for the replies guys! I still have plenty of time to think this over. Acer is definitely a huge choice now though, and I like this community, way friendlier than the original Asus Transformer. Back before the Prime came out, I made a thread like this, asking about Asus and what to expect in the tablets, and it was immediately hostile responses. Terrible, but glad I didn't have enough to buy that Prime, so much bad reports about it. My choices are now this A700, thanks to your responses and some research, and the Asus TF700T.
[Acer Iconia A500] username235:
Oh, also something else, is Acer good with the bootloader? Like is it locked, or is it somewhat easy to root? Not a big deal, but just curious
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
Lol your welcome too root is simple as long as u dont update u will just install an app that do it 4 you but if you dont know much about rooting you better search thses forums
[Acer Iconia A500] haag498:
The Acer bootloader does some checksumming and stuff that makes rooting hard on the newer FWs, but there's a rooting method around that works (downgrading isn't much of a problem). As has been said, just use the search.
[Acer Iconia A500] username235:
Alright, I was just wondering though, different company's products usually have completely different rooting methods than others; I've only ever rooted all my HTC phones, but thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] F2504x4:
Just thought some would find this info helpful..

UPDATE: Looks like this is indeed the A700. The folks at The Verge managed to find the new Iconia Tab lounging around in Vegas and discovered that it's packing a 1.3GHz quad-core Tegra 3 processor and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, as well as the aforementioned 1080p display. It's also got Bluetooth support, a microSD card slot, and an HDMI port. As far as release details go, the A700 is said to be landing sometime in the second quarter, but no other specific launch information is known just yet.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank the administrators, moderators, and members of this forum.

Unfortunately, it's difficult to find a forum anymore where people behave with common (uncommon?) courtesy toward each other. Here people are courteous and extremely helpful.

Having run a couple of VERY small forums, I know that it's a huge undertaking to keep the trolls at bay.

I thank those that give there time and effort into doing so, and all the members who contribute and help others out.

I hope that I can contribute over time as well.

Thanks, and happy new year.

I'm trying to root a Kindle Fire and I don't know why but I'm having alot of trouble getting ADB and drivers set up right on my laptop. I'm not sure which packages I need to install in SDK manager. When I try to use the adb command at a command prompt it says command not recognized and I'm thinking it's because I don't have the right packages installed or installed right.I didn't have to go through this when rooting a couple other phones I've done.

[Kindle Fire General] 6666:
With kindle unplugged Go into ur comps device manager and remove the kindle fire...then install drivers. Then plug it back in. I had same problem. Windows auto installed some generic driver when I first plugged it in before installing correct driver. If still not working try a diff usb port on computer. Hope that helps

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sark666:
My friend gave me a black berry charger which has always worked for me in stock, cm 7.0, 7.03 but sometimes I have issues with 7.1

I either charge my nook via the official adaptor, a usb cable on my computer or via this bb adaptor at work that has always worked in the past.

But a few times I've left in charging all day at work and then it's in SOD mode. Usually I hold down the button and reboot the nook and it's fine. However the last time it completely drained my battery (even though it was plugged in all day at work) and couldn't get it working again until I charged it with the official charger.

Usually the official charger takes roughly 3 hours for a full charge, trickle charge via usb or this cable takes about 8 hrs. But I've left it plugged in at work and sometimes even after all day it's only 50 % charged and will never seem to reach full charge until I charge it at home with the official charger.

Again, never had the issues prior to 7.1. I've read about the SOD and always considered myself lucky that I never had any SOD issues, but now it seems 7.1 and this charger causes issues, but only sometimes.

Anyone else encounter that?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
oh yeah. with my nook charger, though. until I added the patch, I had to turn the screen off before I plugged in the AC adapter, or else it would just turn off. the patch helped immensely, and I also had no issues when I was running the mirage kang. if antone can find/ make a Pdroid patch for the Mirage ROM, I would be set.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCKevo:
I've had a couple of spontaneous battery drains - once when plugged in. They only happened when I was using a live wallpaper so I always chalked it up to that. I've yet to apply any SOD patch, although I am running the latest nightly 253, so if they rolled anything into that I have it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Largan:
Is it possible to use the Nexus S 4G ICS and port it to our Evo 3D, more specifically Wimax?
[HTC EVO 3D] renzo.olivares:
no they dont use the same wimax keys/ports etc
[HTC EVO 3D] bleaktrotter:
What is holding us back from seeing 4g in our roms and kernels? Why does the og evo have 4g and not the 3d?
[HTC EVO 3D] renzo.olivares:
again cm7 has 4g on og evo because toast and shinzul worked on it and succesfully coded in wimax with specific ports and keys for the evo 4g they sort of need to do it all over again for the 3d

I searched the forums and did not find anything for the nexus s.

I was wondering if you guys have heard or tried Decalgirl skins?

I'm tempted to try out the white skin, since I would like a white Nexus S. There are a lot of choices to choose from though.

woah, they look pretty cool! I wonder if they're available in Italy! I'll try to get one of those :D

[Nexus S Accessories] 309041291a:
I am also tempted to try it. However the black menu buttons would irritate me........ If you get it post a pic man. You can also try Gelaskins and make a custom wallpaper. You can make it fully white (without the menu buttons too) in theory. That's what I want to do. If I do I'll post a pic of that. I have my menu buttons backlights off anyways lol. I'm worried the sides of the front screen will remain black... That would piss me off so much LOL. Right well tell me how it goes.

Ok so my grandparents have a tablet and it was working great for about two weeks but today my grandmother turned it off, and later tried to turn it on but it wont turn on. She plugged it in, wont turn on, she took it to the store and they couldnt get it to work so theyre gonna order her a new one but if we can fix it she can have it now :p anyone have this problem and can I fix it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DT3CH:
Ya, sounds like you are getting the SOD (Sleep of Death) that is if she didnt actually turn it off but just thought she did, anyways it wont hurt to try

To get it to power up you need to hard reset it, hold down the power button and volume down at the same time for around 8 secs or so, basically just keep it held down until you see the Samsung splash screen, it should restart normally, if it happens again which it probably will just rinse and repeat
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minamfm:
Just wait and get it exchanged, if they agreed to change it then there's really no need to go meddling around with it and possibly voiding the warranty ;)

Yeah known issue on the 10.1 Tab, had it aswell very often but on HC 3.1 and when the tab is it's docking (keyboard).

Now with updating to 3.2 oddly enough never happens anymore.

What I did indeed was to hold the power button untill the tab restarted.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-Nexus:
Hi all, this is the very first thread i start here in this forum, so go easy on me if i do something wrong.

Thing is, i hate zooming in and out in email/website, and since we have the luxury of high screen resolution in the galaxy note, i really want to make used of it. first of all is the email. the Gmail app is clearly not designed for such high resolution phone in the first place. but using this "phone" app on Galaxy Note, and still zooming in and out seems stupid to me. Is it possible for us to use the Gmail in Tablet in out Galaxy Note?

Thanks Guys

Does it have to be a CM9 rom rooted G Note? Cause I have a CFroot G Note and I was wondering if I could do it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Yes it needs to be some kind of ICS build (whether CM9 or otherwise). The reason being is that ICS includes aspects of the Honeycomb API which Gingerbread does not. These tablet elements are activated in ICS when the user sets the DPI below 200 (you need root to do this), and thus the phone behaves more like a tablet than a phone in its appearance.

This is how you will get the tablet style Gmail layout. :)

3. Gmail 4.2.1 ( last version will become tablet mode with the following settings dpi :213 screen dpi: 600x1024 font scale :100 xLarge

Try changing DPI to 220/240. for that you need a custom ROM with DPI change functionality.

Here's the issue im dealing with. I flashed onecosmic's ICS and wiped data/factory reset and deleted cache and delvik cache. Proceeded to install nushor's kernel, did so and ended up in a boot loop. So i can't boot the phone and can't access recovery mode either.

I connect my phone to my pc trying to fix the issue, it turns out my phone isn't being recognized in download mode by odin.

to sum it up, i can't get my pc to recognize my phone via usb.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
Looks good for the price. And comes in varying colors.

A quick question as I can't tell from the photos but does the back battery door pop off on this case? The one thing about most cases is unibody design. If you have to remove the battery then you also have to remove the whole protective case as well. I would most definitely be interested in one that has it's own battery door.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilfleck:
Hey Guys,

So I've been having some issues with various ROMs on my LTE Galaxy Nexus. I first tried flashing to bigxie's build last week and that was yielding various bug reports. I flashed again with the same results (even without loading my backed up apps from Titanium Backup).

So I went back to stock... all was well again.

I just flashed to axi0m's ROM with Apex kernel. It has awesome performance but I keep getting force closes for random apps: Chrome to Phone, Trebuchet, etc.

I feel like at this point, its something I'm doing wrong or something wrong with my phone. I have followed the instructions to the T for each ROM install...

My order or process is as follows:

-Format data

-Erase partition cache

-Erase mount & storage /system (for axi0m)

-Load ROM

-Load GAPPS (applicable to bigxie's ROM)

-Reboot

Anyone have any ideas for me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
Well, I'll start by saying that I have ALWAYS run into issues when trying to use custom kernels. I've resorted to sticking with the kernel that comes with whatever ROM I install. This always seems to provide the most stability for me.

Next time you flash a ROM I recommend following the process that's worked extremely well for me on all my previous phones, including this one...

1. Put the ROM on your SD card

2. Reboot into Recovery

3. Do a Nandroid backup of your current ROM

4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset

5. Wipe Cache Partition

6. Go into Mounts

7. Format /system

8. Flash new ROM

9. Go into Advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache

10. Fix Permissions (Also in Advanced)

11. Reboot phone

12. Sign into your Google account (1st step in the setup screen)

13. Let the phone sit for 10 full minutes without touching it

14. Reboot phone again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
You don't need to format data, erase partition.

All you really need to do is:

1. Download the ROM, Kernel (if desired), gapps (if required)

2. Verify its MD5 hash [optional... but I recommend doing it, google HashTab]

3. Put the files onto your phone's internal storage.

4. Reboot into recovery mode.

5. If its a new ROM, wipe data(factory settings),cache,dalvik. If its the same ROM but upgrading, then just skip this step.

6. Flash ROM, Kernel (if you downloaded one.. verify its compatible, meaning don't flash franco kernel on a 4.0.2 ROM), gapps

7. Reboot.

Having FC problems? boot into Clockwork and fix permissions.

Afraid something might not go well? do a nandroid, but I'm pretty experienced at flashing so I've avoided at doing nandroid but since you're still not familiar with the steps. Nandroid backup can be very useful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
I definitely agree with checking the MD5 sum. That should be step 1 after downloading the ROM. I know you don't 'have' to format /system but it's just an extra precaution I've always taken and I have never had a problem with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Oh, I didn't know you mentioned it too. I only looked at the OP. I guess it couldn't hurt, why not? :)

Another thing to mention, when you flash a new kernel.. it's best to wipe dalvik cache (before or after.. preferably before) then flash the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
I didn't mention checking the MD5 sum, I was just agreeing that it is an extremely important step.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilfleck:
Ok, so I seemed to have resolved a lot of issues by wiping the davlik cache. I was flashing to the stock launcher w/ 4x5 grid (without search) and it required a wipe of the davlik cache. This seemed to clear up the force closes. So far, i have been loving my axi0m ROM.

Now if Samsung/Google can push a new update to fix the radio issues w/ data :|
