[Motorola Droid Bionic] Unrest333:
I've been meaning to ask, did they say they were to file the replacement under insurance, manufacturer warranty, or Verizon's own cost? Also did they discuss any fees or upgrade costs?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BPB21:
I flashed to ICS 4.0.3 stock, rooted and have had great data connectivity since. Data connection dropped once in an elevator but it connected right back.
[Acer Iconia A500] soul_0830:
This could be really bad for us since two to three months after we get ice cream sandwich. Our tab will be out dated.

Or this could be greater news if Acer plans to support A500 to Jelly Bean.

Anyway hard to believe a tab is outdatedwithin 1 year of purchase. Any thoughts?
[Acer Iconia A500] Jigodie:
Most likely, if Acer makes the move to J.B. as fast as for I.C., we`ll have it in 2014:D
[Acer Iconia A500] colonel187:
Our tablets have been out dated for months now. Lol
[Acer Iconia A500] M..N:
Well if there aren't any major changes to under the hood wise, devs could port jelly bean pretty easily. That's hoping no libs have changed etc
[Acer Iconia A500] Tapek-AU:
If our systems support Jelly Bean, we are better off. I read they are pretending the attrocious rollout of ICS didn't happen and are going to make sure JB goes to everything a lot quicker. Just hope that means our older devices as well...
[Acer Iconia A500] firetruck41:
It's the same as every mobile device these days, nothing to get excited or disappointed about. It's not as though they have lost functionality because some other, newer device has some new bits or bytes. If it worked for you when you bought it, chances are good it will be doing the same jobs for you next fall, whether it has JB, ICS, or HC. If you want to guarantee you have the latest and greatest for the years ahead,well, you will have to continually buy the latest and greatest.
[Acer Iconia A500] DarkSeL:
This is stupid on Google's part. How many devices have ICS so far? At least give ICS its time and keep making J.B. better.
[Acer Iconia A500] wtatters:
There were reports from way back before ics was launched that some planned features were being bumped to jellybean ... it was more important to get a unified core with missing features than to delay till it was all done ... as such it was always expected that jellybean would be the final stage of unification ...
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
Both Acer and Google have been pretty good about updates on our tablets. ICS was teased a long time ago... before the 3.2 and even 3.1 HC updates pushed. Google will release Jelly bean, and probably late decemeber or early january, we'll see it pushed by Acer. Worrying NOW whether OUR tablets will get it, when ICS isn't even out yet, is a waste of energies.

(but, Acer, please please PLEASE get some new naming pattern. Jelly Bean? Really? "Hey, Fred, I have the new Apple MOUNTAIN LION operating system! What are you running over there?" "Jelly Bean, teeheehee!!!". Oy.)
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
awww i think its Quite Cute.. Its a Powerful mobile o.s in a perfect little tasty package..
[Acer Iconia A500] netham45:
I fully agree, but that's Google's call, not Acer's.
[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
Would be great to get it on our tabs, but I doubt it.. sadness.
[Acer Iconia A500] soul_0830:
I hear the main features of Jelly Bean is the ability to dual boot. And the main reason for Google to launch ASAP is that when Windows 8 tablets comes out they should pack android with it.

Heard any other features for Jelly Bean?
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
Android 4.1 Jelly bean (Details and specs)

Even if Acer does not release JB for a500 officially, I have faith in our devs as long as it will support Xoom :D
[Acer Iconia A500] kiwicasperguy:
:highfive:

I hope you're right. I came here to get my ICS, because acer hadn't delivered after 6 months. Just kept releasing newer Tablets. I appreciate all the work that the Dev's do for us on thisa site, and consider xda the first stop for anything that I want clarified.:good: for my A500. I'll have my fingers crossed that the Gifted Team of dev's here give us JB. I like the A500, but for Acer as a company to trust, Next tablet gonna be an Asus I think and hopefully a dual boot Android and Win 8, now cool would that be.

Cheers
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Uh, since when is mid-July in the autumn (fall)?
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
So, to sum things up...

I LOVE MY TABLET!

>>>a new OS is released

I HATE MY TABLET! I NEED THE NEW OS!!!

>>>a new OS is released

Repeat as necessary
[Acer Iconia A500] go.george:
Today it is worth watching the Google I/O that they will talk abot the new codecs the JB will support. Note that JB will support NEON Instructions. Isn't that the only limit that prevent us from watching 720p mkv videos? I mean that maybe with the new OS we will be able to do so. If that's true then that's awsome because it is the only feature that I miss.
[Acer Iconia A500] yazyazoo:
I thought what was limiting us for 720p MKV's was the Tegra 2 and not codecs? I thought the Exynos w/ Mali could play MKV's easily vs the Tegra2.

Tegra 3 is supposed to play MKV's.
[Acer Iconia A500] go.george:
Well, they used to say that tegra 2 is capable of Mkv but Android limited it's pRocessing capabilities... The funny think is that not even tegra 3 can play all mkv flawlessly....:thumbdown:
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
I watch 720p mkv's on my A500 just fine... Always have.
[Acer Iconia A500] jnktechstuff:
Would it really matter because there is always porting, As long as acer supports the other devices the port would be almost flawless
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
+1 on that

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Tegra#Tegra_2_series
[Acer Iconia A500] go.george:
I guess that you are overclocked or have diceplayer and not default settings or the bitrate is not very high, or something... I have tried a lot of solutions but the truth is that a tv episode e.g. at 720p it may start play well and smoothly but in the bright frames they tend to drop... If you have any other solution glad to hear it:good:
[Acer Iconia A500] ctiger:
It is a warfare, there are three parties in the war, Apple, Google and Microsoft. All other players are not really in in big time, but this three. This is the way they fight, NEW THINGS. Apple brings out iOS 6, the response from MS and Gle is to release Win 8(tab) and JB. Not that ICS or anything before has big bugs or whatever, it's just the rolling wagon. If you stop, you lose. People will see the advantage of the new things from other companies and jump on those. That's basically what happened to MS on the winmo wagon, they took a nap and the game's mostly done for them, they now need to spend billions more to play catch up.

BTW, this also means, you don't want to put all the best ideas in the next release, because if you have the ultimate thing, there's less for the next...
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
MY tablet is up to date ...FLEXREAPER EXMTREEM V5.1........job done jog on acer.

I know your update might kill my tab so forget that.:D:D
[Acer Iconia A500] jnktechstuff:
Motorola xoom will have it so expect it on ours, the port will be easy
[Acer Iconia A500] ibeqa:
You never know, maybe Acer surprises us with official JB :)
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
was about to say the same, im sure ive played mkv format video's before.

Hello im new to android and i have a galaxy nexus running 4.0.4 i rooted my phone last night and was wondering will i be able to upgrade to Jelly Bean when it comes out or will i not be able to because i rooted my phone?:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
I'm sure the people in the Galaxy Nexus section of the forums could help you.
[Acer Iconia A500] gingernick30:
think before you update too android 4

Flash is waving a tearful farewell to Android, with Adobe confirming that it won't be supporting Flash Player on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and furthermore will be blocking people from installing Flash Player from mid-August.

On its blog, the company behind Photoshop confirms that Jelly Bean kit won't get Flash support, matter-of-factly writing, "We have not continued developing and testing Flash player for this new version of Android and its available browser options."

From 15 August, Adobe is going to limit access to Flash Player updates to devices that already have the Player installed. That means that if you don't have the app installed by then, you won't be able to get it.

Moreover, Adobe warns that when devices get updated from Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to 4.1 Jelly Bean, the player "may exhibit unpredictable behaviour, as it is not certified for use with Android 4.1". Adobe recommends uninstalling Flash before upgrading your phone or tablet to Jelly Bean.

If you own a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Xoom or Google Nexus S you should take note, as these are gadgets that Google has confirmed to receive Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in mid-July.

Flash comes pre-installed on many current smart phones, but it looks like this won't continue, as Flash -- once one of Android's biggest selling points -- continues its quiet exit from Google's operating system.

Apple denied Flash access to its own iOS platform from day one, something that forced many websites to switch to HTML5 to ensure anyone browsing on an iPhone or iPad could still watch video. It looks like this is one battle Apple has won. This is why I might not update to android 4 as and when it comes out

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

Sorry I was ment too say Android 4.1 sorry for that
[Acer Iconia A500] Rippster:
If I understand it correctly, Adobe is abandoning support for new version of Android but still maintaining the currently version. Flash is already buggy in ICS, but should work the same in JB. So long as the APK remains available, I think the Devs can make tweaks to the OS to keep it working as an option.
[Acer Iconia A500] bungaboy:
Yup and call it iSomething. LoL
[Acer Iconia A500] Danny2:
How exactly?

Would you be kind enough to please explain how you get your A500 to play 720P mkv's?
[Acer Iconia A500] Timelord83:
i was able to play 720P mkv's over my wireless with it out of the box full of ATT bloat-****. I have an A501
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Simple, MX Player. Never had any problems whatsoever with any of my large collection of 720p videos.
[Acer Iconia A500] elmerq:
Try BSPlayer - the best in my opinion :)
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
yeah thats what im using thats how i must have had mkv's:highfive:
[Acer Iconia A500] Danny2:
I used MX player on my cheap crappy Coby tablet & it played 720p mkv's flawlessly, so I tried it on my Acer A500, no diece, so, I tried DicePlayer, works better, but still not acceptable. I have never been able to play 720 mkv's, except by re-encoding to something you would never watch on anything but a tiny screen.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bobg1231:
Did you try MX Player using software mode instead of hardware?
[Acer Iconia A500] lyme:
The official vlc beta plays virtually everything fine, nightly link http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-v7-tegra2/

I'm personally expecting cyanogenmod will be our only upgrade path in the future.
[Acer Iconia A500] mtmerrick:
I fully expect a port of jellybean from another tegra 2 device within a very short amount of time.

Does anyone know if the OG transformer will be getting JB? That seems to be the source of a lot of the a500's ports.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Why don't you just look in the dev section? Randomblame already has an AOSP port running, no longer from the SDK. Just Wifi and audio to fix, so we'll have fully functional very soon.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bobg1231:
I think camera still needs to be fixed also.
[Acer Iconia A500] SmashMatt:
Hopefully Acer will notice that this device got the first Jelly Bean port of any non-nexus device. But if they choose not to, at least we have Randomblame and Waydownsouth working on the port.
[Acer Iconia A500] one80oneday:
Acer doesn't make money on upgrading sold hardware and they cannot compete with Nexus 7
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
I remember hearing that about us getting ICS.

And HOW can you say they can't compete with the Nexus 7?? NO card slot, only 8 or 16gb memory, so you're really limited. Hell, with my 64gb card, I'm at 80... and could still use more. No HDMI port. Only a single, front facing 1.2mp camera. Only 1 USB port... a micro. I don't care if it has a Teg 3 or not, I have no interest in such a small screen on such a limited device.
[Acer Iconia A500] kdejong2012:
CM10 JB rom beta for A500 tab

Waydownsouth just released CM10 JB rom available in the dev section. I'm currently using Randomblames previous JB rom with Wesvista's fix and everything is working pretty smoothly less GPS, camera, and few other things that don't matter much to me.

Hoping Civato makes a JB ROM and makes it available. May happen once JB is released for A700.

Suggest you give the available JB roms a try if you're okay with a few issues and want to help out the dev.
[Acer Iconia A500] MrWareWolf:
Mirage beta, and vplayer are very good as well. bs player just released their non-free version also..
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
MX Player with the updated codecs (prompted to install) works fine on a 500/501 at 720. The only exception, is that if strange codecs are used that are not widely accepted with android.

Most of which (strange codecs) are downloaded from torrents apps. And then, we have to ask the legality of such torrent apps. If one ripped the video CD, which they are entitled to do, then it would have been compressed with the correct video codec.

You can also switch between HW and SW mode, with SW usually offering better results.

If you are trying to run video from a video recorder, some video recorders use a proprietary codec, Which has to be re-encoded using their software.

How to put it in ur sig? Sorry for not being good at that sort of stuff. I can't even get my avator icon to work
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jblah:
no need to be sorry we all gotta learn the new stuff at some point.

first dl the image that you want and upload it somewhere like imgur.com (do not upload it directly from computer to xda..this will not work for sigs).

for signature to work go under private message (top right under the Welcome (yourname)).

This will take you to a new page..you will see on the left side there is a "your control panel".

Click on edit signature.

in there put in the DIRECT LINK that you get from imgur.com in the img tags..which goes something like this {img}http://i.imgur.com/LK8vW.gif{/img} where you will need to replace all { and } with [ and ] respectively.

thats it :). let me know if you have any questions.

on xda avatars can not be animated..so you will have to select one of the static avatars. hope this helps.

Option 2. Copy all contents in gallery to PC and then again copy to Phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
also (just in case) make sure there is not a file named .nomedia anywhere above the folder your images are in. When the scanner gets to one of these it back out (great for hiding game images & pron).

You best be kidding. Samsung will be looking to make you salivate and throw money at them for the Note 2 when it eventually arrives.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CGI_Ram:
Mobile technology is moving too fast to get 5yrs out of a device - especially if you are driven to take advantage of new technologies. (Which probably is 100% of the XDA member base).

I expect in 10-16 months the next generation Note will be out there. Will it be a worthy upgrade? Probably.

Will it be a necessary upgrade? Probably not.

The average person probably goes from Gen 1 to Gen 3... Gen 3 to Gen 5, etc. I'm basing this on my circle of friends, anyway, iphone and ipad users.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ueihtam:
I usually change my phone after 3 years, most of the time cause its not supported anymore, or cause the new OS isn't optimized (was on iphone and iOS 5 ask more power than the 3GS can provide). I'll see with the futur phone generation, one thing is sure, i cant go back to something <5,3" :p

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Blue1k:
5 years!?

5 months might be a better time frame given how fast phone tech is evolving.

What I don't understand is why people lock themselves to a device. I make sure I keep my phones in mint condition and when I want something new I trade or sell it on craigslist.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] carhigh:
Give it up already. Where is the streak 2. Fez people make phones up that don't exsist or never will
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ueihtam:
Mobile tech is evolving too fast. I mean, with 95% of the app being simple 2D graphics what will you do with a tegra3 quadcore, honestly ? So much power for nothing, as phones can already handle 1080p HD videos and stuff.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sarius24:
I see myself with the note for like 1 year. Until,something spectacular comes out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Funkym0nkey:
The difference is, Note is made by Samsung, its very popular and successful device already. Mark my words, there will be a successor to Note. Most probably this year itself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
I can see myself using this device for a very long time, or until it breaks. The Note has a nice balance of power, screen estate, and most importantly, battery life.

Until they improve battery technology, I will not bother moving on the Tegra 3 devices, even if the Note 2 will be quad-core. There's simply no need for that. Google is always playing catchup with making the best of hardware so in all honesty even if you got a quad-core phone, you'd probably wait a good entire year before it becomes fully optimized. =)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rossygnol:
I will never be able to spend 2 years with the same phone. Reason why I try to protect my Note as best as I can and when the time will come I will sell it and go for the next one like I did with my last SGS1.
