[Acer Iconia Tab A100] thinhletien:
Hopefully thing will go the way what u said :D I dont even care Jan or Feb, just need to confirm A100 will get the ICS, thats all ^^

But for me, i dont think Acer will be update ICS for our A100 :mad:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jschall:
Where are you seeing that version information?

(BTW, EMEA stands for ''Europe, Middle East and Africa'')

If it's under Build, mine says: ''Acer_A100_2.007.04_COM_GEN1''

If it's under Flex Version, mine says: ''04_COM_GEN1''

I doubt if your ''EMEA_GB'' will affect your updates or your Market access, but you never know...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] shadowskater555:
Probably already know this, but the battery goes out kind quickly, if you turn off wifi(I use a wifi toggle widget since I dont like going into the settings to turn it off), you can save a ton of battery power.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Diknak@gmail.com:
An even easier way to do this is to use the Airplane Mode toggle that is already built in to the notification bar area that pops up. I find it easier than backing out of an app that I am in to turn off WiFi.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ntan97:
How long are people seeing their batteries lasting. I applied the custom build.prop in development and did some tweaks of my own and I can squeeze out a day and a half ...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] BigGunn:
About the same here with stock build.prop. More than adequate for my needs.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] danifunker:
I am using it for a lot of hours at a time and it usually lasts me through the day. Sometimes if I'm on it too much I'll have to charge in the evening though.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
ive got 4 days straight standby with wifi on...mind h thats no screen on time just it sitting in deep idle.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ntan97:
Yeah... I should clarify I use it a lot too... this would be moderate to heavy usage. I'm using it all the time with customers. So in my opinion that's good... but yeah ie heard some reports of bad battery on this tab but I've seen none of it.
[General Questions and Answers] neon_skunk:
Is there an official method used to gain superuser access to android phones? Like correct me if im wrong but the majority of android users choose android due to the fact that it is an open source o/s right?.They have apps in the official android market that requires superuser access so why wouldnt Samsung, HTC, LG etc have a official method of granting superuser access? Rather than forcing their customers to trust third party sources to gain root to your phone their own phone. Which in turn could brick phones if not done right in turn leaving the company with that much more repairs to deal with?! :p
[General Questions and Answers] linkinparkfan007:
Depends on what brand you have. z4root and superoneclick are very popular methods for rooting your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] neon_skunk:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4g, and neither of these programs works. What is the official way to gain root access that google supports? I cant seem to find out anything on googles support page.
[General Questions and Answers] MacaronyMax:
You won't find anything there, look in the SGS2 section and root from there, the reason Manafactures don't give ways to root your phone is because if you do it to them your waranty is void as you can cause many problems which wastes theit time and money, if they gave people a way to root many more people would be doing it without knowledge and breaking their phones giving the company a bad reputation and costing them money :D
[General Questions and Answers] neon_skunk:
This is exactly my point, the companies do not give information on how to root your phone leaving users with no option but to trust unofficial sources to gain root access to their handsets(risking a chance of a brick). Most people who buy android buy them because they can get root access to their operating system and will try what ever option they can to do so. I just dont understand why the companies make it so hard for those who would like root access to their handset as it is a key feature of owning a linux device... even if they understand that doing so will void the warranty. You are right. More people probably would brick they're phones but rooting the phone does void they warranty but then they get to charge a fee to unbrick phones :) Sometimes paying the company to fix your phone is your only bet when you have a hard brick on your hands.
[General Questions and Answers] notriddle:
edit: If you want, the Nexus devices, such as the recently released Galaxy Nexus, can be rooted officially.

[citation needed]. Many? Okay. Most? No way.

Android is way bigger than that. Most Android users never have or will root, and would certainly brick if they tried. That's one reason.

Another heavily argued reason is that ROMming extends the life of the device, destroying planned obsolescence. My DInc runs Abdroid 4.0 unofficially. That's one less TBolt sold.
[General Questions and Answers] Badd_blood:
I assume it's because rooting will allow the user to do things like overclocking which would void the warranty. So why would they freely encourage their customers void the warranty?

There is no way to root .62 for now.

Unless you unlock your bootloader.

First unlock the bootloader the SE way.

Then flash the rage kernel with flash tool and you are automatically rooted.

Download the WotanClient application

[General Questions and Answers] GreyWilliams:
I can never decide on these things so i thought i would ask a community with more experience what their opinions are and which they would choose.

Which phone should i get? HTC Focus or Sharp FX Plus
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jehan1:
I'm about to buy a small new smartphone which I'm planning on using mainly for sports.

However, I'm curious about GPS performance on this device and how it compares with my current Galaxy S.

I'm very interested if anyone already used this device in the woods as I run alot in forests. My SGS can track me really poorly (constantly jumping coordinates) in forests but normal tracking is not that bad.

Which small device has the best GPS antenna? Xperia Active is nice because IP67 (so I can still run in the pouring rain), but if another device has a much better antenna I would prefer using a cover.

(I use Endomondo or Runkeeper for tracking)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chompiz:
Not that it answers your question but I find that I get a much more accurate GPS route in Endomondo when I use Tracker Booster at the same time on my arc aswell as on my mini pro.

Is the GPS antenna in the active the same as in the mini/mini pro?
[Hero CDMA General] Rich3077:
DOH! Flashed to Zero Hero and my phone is now displaying the wrong phone number. Will someone please clue me in on how to fix this?

Additional information: I have 4 Heros all activated on Metro PCS. The other 3 are working and have Damage Control 1.0 installed on them, so possibly I can retrieve settings from one of my working phones?

I have flashed ROM's before and this hasn't happened, not blaming it on the ROM though, could have been my own stupidity. The ROM looks awesome and I cant wait to get it working so I can test it for replacement on my other 3 phones.

Many Thanks!

EDIT: Been searching Google for hours now.. so I guess the fix is not an easy one??

Edit 2 to add that this cant be done. When the phone was originally flashed the guy didnt use my phones MEID for whatever reason.. therefore the phone is not in the MetroPCS system. I tried to get the info from MetroPCS but no dice.

I will not go back to the same place to get it fixed.
[Hero CDMA General] ajrty33:
Hahahaha!

Sorry.... that's all I got.

Are you sure you're not looking at the wrong thing
[Hero CDMA General] Rich3077:
Yeah, looking at the phone info under settings. If I try to make a call I get the standard Sprint "Your account can not be validated" recording.

Not gonna give up.. I know its possible. I may be a nOOb but I know how to follow directions and be persistent.

Will probably need to update the PRL as well.. but I have found some info on that.. just not able to find for changing the MDN. I am guessing I will need to download QPST workshop.. been looking for a download of that as well.. well I have a copy but its from 2006, so I am guessing thats why my phone wont connect.

Its always something.
[Hero CDMA General] whoshotjr2006:
lol well first of all if your supposed to be on metropcs and your getting sprint recordings, definitely change out your prl to one that works with metro.

second of all, if your getting a weird phone number, flash back to stock sense rom and use the ##msl# (? i think thats the one) to switch your mdn and msid to what they are supposed to be. if you dont know what they are supposed to be im sure you can call metro and find out.

good luck and ask more questions if you need more help

edit: pm me if you need more help, i may be able to help
[Hero CDMA General] Rich3077:
Yeah I guess changing the PRL is a good place to start... I need a break from trying to fix the MDN anyways.

As far as the msid is concerned.. do you think MetroPCS has that information? Or even willing to give it to me? I dont want to go back to the place that originally flashed my phone to Metro because they charge $65 each time. What would I tell Metro for the reason I need my msid?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA General] Rich3077:
Okay got the MSID #. According to the CS rep its the same for all my phones, hope like hell he knew what he was talking about.

Now I am still stuck, unable to get QPST set up properly as I have no options to install any com port at all...... Back to Google.
[Hero CDMA General] whoshotjr2006:
you shouldnt need qpst, just flash back to a stock rom, nfx stock is pretty good for this, and enter ##msl# (your 6 digit msl number instead of the word msl) into the dialer, and there it should give you the option to change your mdn or msid.

keep us updated, hope you get this phone working again

edit: if you want to use qpst, i know for cyanogenmod you can open up adb shell in your command prompt on computer (or terminal emulator from market i beleive) and enter this

echo 1 > /dev/qct_diag_enable

and windows will see the diag driver needs installed and adds a com port. YMMV but i would think it is universal for roms, but dont quote me on that. here is the link i found this at: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...t-cdma-codes-on-dialer-need-diag-mode-solved/

good luck
[Hero CDMA General] Rich3077:
I have tried

echo 1 > /dev/qct_diag_enable

and it didnt work for me. If I connect my other phone to qpst or CDMA I get the com ports and can connect so I know I have that part right.

Installing another ROM kind of defeats the purpose as I suspect that this ROM is what overwrote my settings, so if I install another ROM I would be back at square one when reinstalling this one. Unless of course there is a way to back these individual settings up that I am not aware of?

I wouldnt go through this much trouble for any other ROM as I feel that Pico Gingerbread is exactly what this phone needs. I like the stock look and feel.
[Hero CDMA General] whoshotjr2006:
i know it seems inconvenient, but if you cant enter diag mode or use ## codes on zero hero (which i know you cant use the ## codes, those are only able to be used on stock rom) then your hand is pretty much forced to go back to stock. i've flashed many roms on my hero after getting the phone settings set, and never have i lost the phone number, data, etc.

try flashing back to stock with nfx's sprint stock rom, and get your phone all good to go again, and then try to reflash to zero hero. it shouldnt take much time, and if it does it again (where you lose your phone number) then we know something is going wrong in the process, at which time you should ask mattcrystal in the zero hero rom thread.

edit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849024 is nfx rom, i suggest it over stock but remember to flash the kernel that comes with it or your phones cpu will be pegged down around 200 mhz
[Hero CDMA General] Rich3077:
Thanks for your reply.. I did as suggested and installed nfx's sprint stock rom.

With that I was able to get into diag and I played around with various programs ALL damn day.

Problem was the MIN was wrong. On phones flashed to MetroPCS sometimes the MIN is not the same as the MDN.

Now when I call 611 I get the proper MetroPCS recording.. but when I make a normal call I get a strange recording about "if I would like to make a prepaid call"

(Virgin mobile perhaps??)

But, progress is good. In the end I will try the Zero Hero ROM again.. at least if something goes wrong I will know how to fix it.

At the rate I am learning I should be cooking ROMs in a couple weeks. :D

EDIT: I have the information I need to make this phone work, but I am doing something wrong. Gonna make a new post in a non-legacy forum in hopes that I get some much needed help.
[Hero CDMA General] whoshotjr2006:
your mdn is your phone number, and your min(msid) should be the routing number (a generic phone number that i think is like a routing number, metro should be able to give it to you, it sounds like you already have it.) your close to being done, just program your mdn as your phone number, and your min(msid) as the number you have that isnt your actual phone number. (that metro gave you)

hopefully you get it going, your close to the finish line

"EDIT: I have the information I need to make this phone work, but I am doing something wrong. Gonna make a new post in a non-legacy forum in hopes that I get some much needed help."

theres no need for that, i told you what you need to do to fix it, whether you take my advice or not is now your problem. if you dont have your msid(min) whatever you want to call it, call metro and tell them you need that info, and they should give it to you.
[Hero CDMA General] Rich3077:
I have tried and failed at entering the MIN. I have tried in CDMA tools, QPST and DFS CDMA and the phone itself. No matter what number I put in leads to the phone not working. I am at a loss of anything else I can think of to try.

What I think I might need is someone with a lot of CDMA experience... but then again I have been wrong before or I wouldn't be where I am now.

Thanks

Edit 2 to add that this cant be done. When the phone was originally flashed the guy didnt use my phones MEID for whatever reason.. therefore the phone is not in the MetroPCS system. I tried to get the info from MetroPCS but no dice.

Recently having a problem using Rom Manager. Have downloaded clockwork recovery.

When using "Reboot into Recovery" or "Backup Current ROM" from ROM Manager it takes me to the green recovery and stops.

If I then go to "Advanced" followed by "Reboot Recovery" I then get the red ClockworkMod Recovery.

If I use the power button (Bionix 1.3.1) and chose "Recovery" it then goes to the proper "Red" recovery.

I have been using ROM Manager for approximately a year to do backups and restores, but not it seems not to be "associated or connected" with the clockworkmod recovery.

Any advice? I recently wiped cache and dalvik. Was this a mistake?

I have uninstalled and re-installed ROM Manager but had the same results afterwards.

Thanks,

rblancrt
[Vibrant General] rblancrt:
No ideas?

No one else had this problem before?

If I select backup current rom from ROM Manger it goes to the green recovery. If I then reboot recovery it goes to the red recovery.

Worked fine for probably a year.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
[Vibrant General] rblancrt:
ROM Manager still not working properly

Thought I would try again.

When I select "Backup current ROM" from ROM Manager my phone goes to the green recovery where I have to scroll through and select backup.

Part of the purpose of ROM manager is that it is a front-end application for CWM, but it is not working as such.

Anyone know anything more about the details of how ROM manager works? I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times but it doesn't change anything.

Have been using it for almost a year with no problems until recently.

Thanks for any info.

And after the backup is complete it goes back to the green recovery and I have to select reboot system. ROM Manager used to and should do these things automatically.
