acer story. LIKE IT OR here it is

True story..

Back in Janurary 2011 i was sitting my Surgeons office . Little tiny cubby kinda . Waiting for him to come in to tell me about the BAD News of my Mri News i already knew was coming. I had NO CASE on my tablet at the time.. He asked me how i liked my ipad. and he was thinking of getting one to show images to patients. I told him im not quite sure i want him to operate on me NOW.. he just sat there looking at me LIKE WTF Did you just say to me.. Then i told him it was a Android tablet. he said OHH ok the generic version of the ipad. I said NO THE THE USEFUL VERSION OF A real tablet.. So i had surgery 3 weeks later on my Dislocated shoulder and Torn bicep . Went to his office 3 days after surgery . He showed me the images taken inside my arm during surgery on A A500 Tablet.i have seen him many times since. having to have 2 additional surgeries that seem to only slighty help . Guess shoulder was in to bad shape to fully recover and HE ALWAYS Has his ACER TAB UNDER HIS ARM.

Still working in his I PHONE. he is almost convinced to ditch it..
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Why do you feel the need to convince him to abandon something that he has already bought and is apparently quite satisfied with?

I mean, if I see someone using an iPhone or iPad or something I do not immediately assault them with notions about how awesome Android is or try to get them to change to it, I only offer advice if they are unsatisfied. Pushing your own ideals on other people even when they haven't shown any interest in such is exactly the same thing religious groups do, and something I find distasteful.
[Acer Iconia A500] ctiger:
OMG, to keep your business, he had to buy the same tab as yours? :D You rock.
[Acer Iconia A500] ctiger:
Thanked you for this particular post. :cool:

After using Android for half year, I hope there's something from Microsoft, a slim down windows OS that can really work the way I got used to.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
You are totally correct. I just pointed out that I had a Iphone from work and did not like it and that i believe android has more Function. actually since i have my tablet i have not updated my phone in years.it has 2.2.1 OS. it makes and receives calls.And i can use its internet on my tablet.I think anyone can use what they like.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
wow not tryin to be an ass but if you care so much about how the device isnt "sexi" then you dont sound like much of a "techie" just someone trying to impress everyone (runnin with the jones').

and also correct me if im wrong but this forum is still supposed to be stuff pertaining to the a500 not stuff pertaining to the whole world right?

edit: Sorry if I offended anyone (including you OP), But come on bro really, its like this (just an ex. and hypothetical) say im a country man and im an avid outdoorsman....So say I go buy a nice new husqvarna chainsaw (bad ass thing, could cut down any tree)...oh but i decided to get on an online forum for chainsaws and bitc* about ugly this thing is, yea it could cut through any tree (which is what it was built for) but its just not that sexi. See what im sayin (their built for perfomance not sexi, and in most cases they have stuff to make em sexi)

So prime has given us the ability to add in the Euro Wifi channels 12 and 13, but doesn't have an option to enable ch.14 which is used in Japan. Does anybody know how to allow the transformer to see channel 14?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Josvaz:
how to make a full re cycle of my battery life ??

i didnt charge it to full when i 1st got it now seems like its draining FAST~~~
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Run it to empty, leave it turned off, and then charge it to full.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Josvaz:
Okie thanks alot another question my tab is staying @ 41'C or higher is it normal? ?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Theory:
Unless your device has been under the Singapore sun all this while, it doesn't seem normal. Using the log from Battery Monitor Widget Pro, I see that my Tab can go up to 39⁰C when charging from AC. And while it might go as high as 37⁰C under more intensive use, it usually goes only to 33⁰C or so. And it stays 26/27⁰C in idle (in air-conditioning) or 30/31⁰C outside. Might want to check if there are intensive processes running in the background.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Josvaz:
okie thanks alot it improve significantly after killing off those apps running in background.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Pretty amazing little app for those that love the MIUI battery bar. It is free and seems to run well on my Vibrant. Root is not required.

Have fun.

http://t.co/Y9ZA9wgI

Edit 2... now that there is an official AOKP ROM, I see no use for this app... but for those not using it, for whatever reason, this is a solid choice. Esp if you choose to not root (why?)

Edit: my screen (very small bar at the top). The app would let you make it larger if desired.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] shreddintyres:
I love this battery bar style, granted i like the center bar better, a lil harder to read how much battery i have left, but that keeps me from checking every few minutes :p good find :D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Alex9090:
Just a heads up, Romans AOKP base roms have this built-in within the settings...Lets you customize thickness and colour.

Sent from samsung vibrant
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thachosenone:
pretty nice! i like the fact that it can be moved to the bottom of both the entire screen or the bottom of the status bar. even though the ROM im using is already capable of this, i'll prolly be using this app now. although the MIUI battery bar does have a cooler looking animation...

either way, thanks for posting!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Absolutely preferred!! I am using the AOKP kang from the Passion guys and for some reason their ROM does not have the MIUI battery bar. This app allowed me to use their rom AND have the MIUI battery bar.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] andROIDS:
This is a little off topic, but where did you get that wallpaper from?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thachosenone:
Anyone else have the bar just stop working randomly? I've resorted to using the built in miui bar. I really like this app because i can put it at the bottom of my display. I've already excluded it from system panel, do i don't understand why it goes away
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] creeve4:
This battery bar app is far superior.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Not sure why, but I did see a comment saying that someone was not having as much luck not using the status bar.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xriderx66:
It is available for euphoria from the control
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Really? Thought I went through each one. How did they have it named? Roman had it named clearly in Rom Control. Not sure why the guys changed it from AOKP.

[Motorola Atrix 2] nasridine:
Got this atrix 2 couple weeks ago. It kept asking me to download and install this 50 something Mb update package, which I did. After the update, the system became 2.3.6 (was 2.3.4). And I realized I don't have root anymore. I tried to reroot but nothing worked, including the one-click, manual method and the rooting script I downloaded from this site that is for droid x.

Is there a way to root it again after the it is unrooted?

Like I said, I tried everything, including the methods (one-click and manual) in your second link. It didn't work. "permission denied" when writing to some folder.

I used the exploit one-click method to root the phone when I first got it and it worked.
[Motorola Atrix 2] toastthemost:
He didn't even read your post. Don't worry, look on the "HOW TO ROOT YOUR DEVICE" section on the beginners guide, go to the 2.3.6 section, download the file, connect your phone with USB debugging, install from unknown sources, and USB charge only. Then run "Click-To-Root.bat".
[Motorola Atrix 2] nasridine:
I just found this motofail script written by Dan Rosenberg, and it worked for my 2.3.6 although I got an error while rooting. I am sure the one you said would work too. Thanks.

Can anybody help me with this? I'm trying to figure out how to make Android (ICS 4.03) see all the euro and japanese wifi channels (12,13,14). Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] CyberZion:
Why are the Developers not using ROM Manager? The only one using it is BAMF and he is showing over 21K downloads. It would make it so much easier to users to keep up with updates. Could someone please forward this to the Developers and see if they could get on board?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Rom manager sucks so much and the way kernels are installed Rom manager wouldnt like it.
[HTC Rezound] CyberZion:
Yea, I did not think about the Kernal installs. I'm coming from the droid 1 and it was just so easy to use ROM manager and have auto notifications on updates. At least the Developers could have a update notification built into the roms. That would be easy.
[HTC Rezound] wisenber:
Some of the "updates" are over 500 MB and have issues during the testing phase.

I have this at home on my Roku, and the Android app is so good you need to check it out.

It does cost $4.99, but its so worth it if you have a large selection of movies on your home computer.

I'm using it on my Mac and not only does it give me unreal streaming of the movies, but music and iPhoto as well.

Super great app for the 7.7
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al mon:
I'm curious to know if someone has encountered this issue before. I created about 105 wallpapers for my Xoom and put them on the external SD in a /Wallpaper directory.

Gallery finds these images and adds them to its gallery.

However, for some reason, there are now 2 of each image in Gallery. I even deleted the /Wallpaper in the external SD and now Gallery shows nothing but blank squares and a count of 105 vs 210.

Where else does the Xoom on EOS 1.0 store these things? Thanks! I don't want to do a full wipe just to fix this but if that's the only way - so be it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
This is for the people Satisfied with their device. People that are happy with device. THE ones who were glad to make their purchase and would do it all over again. Basically for those with a more Positive outlook on life n doesn't let little things get to them ;)

This thread will be an expansion of the Positive Transformer Thread going in a more detailed direction. I'm sure a majority of you, like myself are tired of all the complaint threads about what Prime doesn't do well or not at all. Soo.....

This thread is to list "What does work great on your Prime". Also how does Prime help you in day to day functionality? Like examples of the Prime being very useful or coming in handy in everyday scenarios. How do your friends, family, and peers react when showing off the power of Prime? What are some standout features on Prime? Positive stories n testimonials fully welcomed. All others will be Charbroiled! Lol

So you can see the direction this thread is trying to take. To expand on the great form factor and functionality of a device that works well for you. With so many issue threads, its time to expand on the flip side, the Majority side, that most here in Xda actually love their device and keeping it. There's more than enough complaint threads as there is. This is another way of letting new people know that things on the surface aren't always what it seems. There's a flip side to every story.

"EVERYTHING IS NOT AS GOOD AS IT SEEMS AND EVERYTHING NOT AS BAD AS IT SEEMS, SOMEWHERE IN-BETWEEN, REALITY FALLS" Remember that with anything in life ;)

Update: We now have Official Bootloader Unlock Tool. More reason to be happy to own a Prime. Custom roms will be here b4 you know it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anti09:
Everything works on my prime except GPS. Serial # BC, still running .11 stock.

I sit at a computer all day for my job, so I really just wanted a device that I could plop into bed with to surf the web and watch videos. In that respect, the Prime is perfect. Web browsing is as fast or faster than my netbook, and I really like physically interacting with web pages - a touch interface is the way to browse the web, IMO.

Considering I have yet to use my prime while not laying in bed, functional GPS is obviously a non-issue for me. This is a good thing, since the GPS on mine is entirely broken.

My biggest concern was WiFi performance, but I have to say I've never noticed a problem. I sit fairly close to my router in my small studio apartment, so it's possible I've never gone far enough away from it to notice signal degradation. However, I can routinely achieve speeds of > 15Mb / 5Mb down/up anywhere in my apartment, which is more than sufficient for my means.

Gaming was another big selling point for me, and not much needs to be said about the Tegra 3. Thing is a beast. We all know Android doesn't even fully utilize that horsepower, so I'm pretty excited to see what the dev community comes up with after we unlock the BL :)

Finally, I love the form factor. The thinness and lightness of the TP astounds me every day. And signal attenuation aside, I love the spun aluminum case. It looks and feels premium, durable and high quality. I may be an Android fanboy, but I have to give Apple props for their solid build quality - now I have to give Asus props as well, because the TP is probably the prettiest piece of Kit I've seen in the Android world so far.

I've been very happy with my unit so far. I know I got lucky by avoiding many of the most serious problems - lockups and whatnot - but in many ways I'm impressed that ICS has as few problems as it does, what with being brand new and all that. In contrast, I had to engage in a much greater level of hackery with my Epic 4g to get it to a workable condition, and that was after Froyo had already been out for almost a year.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] m3t4lw01f:
Picked up my C1-serial Prime end of January at BestBuy.

Mine basically has no usable GPS to speak of. It works outdoors for geo-location to about 50', but loses lock as fast as it gets it. Navigation is impossible. But, I knew that going in and didn't care that GPS might be problematic. I looked at it as a "value added feature that might not work". My box doesn't state GPS as a feature anyhow, so I can't complain too loud.

Beyond that, everything else is pure awesome. I have a 17" widescreen laptop that is more of a desktop replacement than a laptop, and it's definitely not that portable (The battery dies in about 90 minutes of use without being plugged in, even on the "power saving" setting in Win7) so having the prime for web surfing and reading on the couch or in bed is awesome.

I haven't come across a task that I couldn't perform on the Prime that I could on my laptop. Sure, some things are more difficult to accomplish on the tablet (Especially since I don't have the keyboard dock for it ... yet) but I could still do them in a pinch. I even used TurboTax online on it and managed to get my taxes done.

I like that Polaris Office is installed as well, as it gives a quick way to view MS office documents out of the box when needed. I usually just import them to my Google Docs, but if I'm even in a location without 'net access, it's nice to have something that works offline.

The other thing I REALLY appreciate is OTA updates. My Galaxy S phone never had that until I migrated to CM7, and I'm missing OTA horribly on it too since I moved to CM9. Not having to tether to keep it updated is pure awesome.

I can't say enough good things about this device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Yeah, Tegra3 is a beast.

The constant OTA updates is a luxury we enjoy more compared to other makers or devices. We have seen more updates n a lil over a month compared to others in a whole year..lol. always good to have tthe latest firmware and drivers on device. It is good we have a way to roll back to a previous version if needed.

The battery life is great on Prime and will only get better as more updates roll out and custom roms arrive. Even overclocked prime gets good battery life. Plus like you said, there's nothing out there to really even make the Prime bust a sweat yet. So power of Tegra3 hasn't even been really tapped into yet. As far as these newer more powerful chips on the way, I'm not worried or pressed at all. As long as i have overclocking, we can easily match or surpass power of those chips.

The mobile scene may about to change up big time with the Announcement of Ubuntu Desktop OS being introduced into Android. Plus it will be officially supported and brings a true desktop experience to mobile devices. This might be the start of the home PC disappearing. Can't wait till we get this integrated into Prime. Its not even a hack. Ubuntu officially supporting Android and hopes this will integrated into 2012 and later mobile solutions. So Win8 better watch out. Android about to officially have Ubuntu desktop support and experience.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] m3t4lw01f:
Some might say the constant updates are a symptom of a problem at Asus. I say they are a company trying their best to fix users problems.

I really don't believe there's some grand conspiracy going on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techie2012:
What i REALLY like on my Prime + dock:

- Great battery life

- keyboard very usable

- Fast

- I am able to print and scan on my Canon Pixma (using PrinterShare and Canon apps)

- Instant on (awesome)

- Bright and colorful screen

- Comes with some good useful apps (Backup, MyNet, Polaris, etc)

- Thin and lightweight

- Android ICS and Google Market (definitely not an iOS fan here)

- I can use my QNAP torrent with the QGET app

Unfortunately my unit has a bright spot on the LCD and I am sending it back to the store. Also has weak WiFi and BT+WiFi dropout. I don't need offline GPS.

Things that could be better on Prime:

- Speakers, trackpad must be disabled to avoid cursor jumps

Things that need improvement on Android:

- Chrome, Docs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rand4ll:
I love the screen on my prime. During bootup I can see a couple spots of light bleed but during any use it is completely invisible. The screen is bright and clear and just looks generally amazing. I have zero dead or stuck pixels, no bright spots or any discernable defect whatsoever when using it.

I love its abilities to play video, it has chewed up and swallowed absolutely everything I have thrown at it so far including 14gb 1080p move files without a single problem.

I love its portability and take it with me to the university and use it all the time. Locks onto wifi without a hitch in the multitude of places I use it there. With it and the dock it is very useful for SSH into the universities Linux system to do some light Java and c programming in VI. I do wish there was an eclipse ide available for android and cannot wait for it to be available.

I also love to use its Bluetooth abilities to sync up my PlayStation controllers and play all my favorite oldschool games through its amazing ability to run many emulators. It also plays new games built for android some of which have tegra 3 specific versions and simply look amazing.

Lastly, I love how fast I can type on a screen holding it in portrait view and using thumb keyboard. The touchscreen is extremely responsive and I can type long posts, such as this very one, with speed and ease.

There are many other things use it for that i cannot recall from my very taxed brain at the moment but it goes without saying that I have no need for a laptop since I can carry this around and easily vnc into my home desktop Linux for any heavy lifting and use dropbox to easily get to any powerpoints or documents I may need on the go.

One last thing, its pure contentment for me to lay back on the couch while the wife does her thing and I can sit and browse the web with ease using boat browser. Never have I had a more satisfying way to consume the ol www.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MOD64:
What I love about my TP...

Screen > clear, sharp and very bright

Battery > Outstanding especially when you combine it with the dock

Design > clean, light and sturdy. I love the choice of colors

ICS > runs smoth and quick... the only issue so far after upgrading to ICS is the flickering screen

GPS/Wifi > Works very well and consistent... I don't understand all the hoopla surrounding the issues with GPS... if I really need to use GPS I use my Thunderbolt

Apps > Polaris Office, Backup, Cloud

My TP is like my Amex... I don't leave home without it!

I really hope Gary and Asus can fix the flickering screen issue
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] atgmartin:
Well, I've had my Prime since 12/21/11, and to this day I have no complaints. In fact, I look back on the HC days and realize how killer this thing runs on ICS. Good support from Asus with consistent updates too.

Tegra3: Lag? Never heard of it. Impressive graphics, what more could you want from a tablet.

Screen: IPS+ is great, even in the sunlight (much better than I expected!) and is not fatiguing after extended use. I personally leave it on IPS+ mode with Auto Brightness and it's perfect.

Form Factor: This thing is so well conceived and executed. Quality build, everything just fits so well, especially with the dock.

Connectivity: Especially with the dock, having the USB and SD. HDMI out has turned out to be a better alternative than the built in USB on my TV, better image and sound quality.

Is it perfect? Maybe not, but as close as I could have really hoped. The things that matter to me are: 1) Highly useful day in and day out; 2) I enjoy using it day in and day out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeUser:
I was one of the lucky guys getting a solid TP since day 1, I honestly don't have complaints, this is a wonderful piece of technology in every aspect, it has everything I wanted on a tablet. The GPS isn't great yes, only performs outdoors, but hey, I don't really care, as I only used it to test for feedback here on XDA, I own a specialized navigation device for my car and a smartphone when walking in case I need, therefore, I don't need a tablet for such tasks. I wanted a Prime for other things, email, notes, video, surfing and most of all, a portable yet powerful machine to carry around. The flexibility is incredible and the battery life ridiculous, please name a device on the market with this characteristics?! Yep, the TP is unique, enough said...:)

Cheers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Larebear:
Another happy camper. I have not had any problems with my prime at all. I've used it 60' from my router with BT enabled and disabled. Made no difference.

It works great for me, no matter where I take it as long as there is a wifi signal.

I just wish my keyboard dock would show up after being on backorder for over two months. :(

I use my Prime mainly for watching worldwide cams, listening to radio/police scanners in my local area, reading emails, cloud printing, drop box, remote access to my PC and other client PC's.

I wouldn't trade this Tablet for any other available on the market at this time. I love it. It's fast, great resolution, handles every app that I've thrown at it. I'll hang onto it until ASUS comes out with a 6 or 8 core Tablet. :-)
