App2SD

I've seen a post regarding use of the external SD card for storing apps elsewhere on this site. The response had to do with the way that the external SD card is accessed and what filesystem was available on it. Long and short of it was that it just won't work.

---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

Acer Planner and many other applications were removed from the Home Screem when I installed the first leaked ICS build. It was still available from the application list, but crashed consistently. In the 0900 build, it does not crash any longer. If you browse through the zipfile of the build, it's in there as an apk.

It's handy when I have a day full of meetings - I have Google sync running which allows me to sync my Outlook calendar to my Google calendar. Acer Planner displays my full agenda for the day as soon as it syncs back to Google calendar.

On my phone (Nexus S running 2.3.6) the calendar has to be told to drop Google Calendar and then pick it up again to sync.

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

Here's a post in another forum that discusses using the SD as a swap for the main storage. People seem to be pleased with the results, but there's some risk involved.

Bluetooth issue

My Motorola bt headpone pairing seems to be lost I turn off bluetooth. Next time I turn bt on it says they are paired, but will only connect in pairing mode... also when playing games bt randomly disconnencts arter a few min. I suspect this is caused by dolby mobile, has anyone else had this issue?

Another minor issue is occasionally when I power on the touchscreen doesnt work. Fixed by power off and on again. (the same thing happened with HC, has only occurred a few times) edit: this seems to b3 gettting worse over time

Hey a quick question. Does six axis controller work with non-rooted ics on A100?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
On the market for six axis controller, it reads in the description:

So no, it will not work on this device (or any device) without root access.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rekkupoi:
Its just that I read from somewhere that ICS would have support for that kind of things out of stock.

touch screen issue

The only issue I have is that when playing certain games like angry birds the touch screen stops working for a couple seconds then starts working again. The weird thing is it only does it on games and not all of them. Anyone else have this issue?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] isketerol:
Acer_AV041_A100_1.012.00_WW_GEN1 Build

Just updated to Acer_AV041_A100_1.012.00_WW_GEN1. Angry Birds still locks up.

I have noticed that Angry Birds Space runs better and that there is an Angry Birds Rio update. Also, if any Angry Birds game locks up, all of them will lock up until a reboot. I have a suspicion there may be a generic ICS issue for Rovio.

The Rollerball game that was hanging on touch input worked under the 0900 build, I have to check again in this build.

No issues to go from 0900 to this build.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] oneovakindoldys2:
have you rooted and checked to see if the bootloader can be unlocked? fastboot working? thanks alot
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] deviant12no:
Updated with new release (.012), ICS_Rooting still works and MSD2INT from crossix still functional. Angry Birds Space and Rio still has issues (Angry Birds Rio updated prior to release .012) I left my bootloader locked so I'm can't confirm if the unlocker still works or not.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] teray0n:
Boot loader unlocks and what is this issue with angry birds space I have it installed and just played 23 levels with no issues. It seems this new version is working well so far.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] deviant12no:
I'll try to re-install it, after a while you lose all touch on the screen.. not sure if it's from all the re-sizing via multi-touch, had to use the home button to get out of the app.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] toyface:
I safely installed the 012 ICS leak using the CWM and unlocked bootloader, I did this by opening the .zip, removing the recovery folder, anything to do with bootloader, and rezipped it as an update.zip, installed fine through CWM and I kept my unlocked bootloader and CWM, re-rooting using the ZeroNull method worked fine as well.

I can now play Angry Birds Space with this leak, I did notice that it hanged earlier, I simply closed the app and reopened and it still works fine.

The new leak seems alot, lot smoother day-to-day.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Metallica 4 Life:
Installed the 012 leak and from a day's experience I can tell it is overall smoother, bootloader unlocked running CWM.

Going into the apps menu now gives you an animation instead of just black screen into the app drawer.

Camera is much better and GPS is improved, accelerometer inverting the x and y is fixed, mic is still sounding horrible, speakers don't crack anymore...just overall much better and smoother :)

Touch input still messes in some games but I noticed something interesting since the first 002 leak, if it quits on you all you have to do is with one finger tap the button you want to tap and with the other finger tap on somewhere empty, do this fast enough(remembering to alternate between your fingers) and it will somehow grant you the touch input back...until it quits on you again, can somebody try and confirm my method?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Joecascio2000:
I just pinch to zoom and it fixes it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] lawguy:
I love ICS on this device. It flies. I hope that ACER gets this touchscreen issue resolved though.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Joecascio2000:
I wasn't gonna say anything because I thought it was a placebo effect but the latest leak is way faster.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] toyface:
It definitely feels alot lot faster, smoother and generally more solid. I can't say for certain but I also think that the WiFi seems somewhat improved.

Web browsing is ridiculously fast with this, and games now work, haven't tried GTA again though.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] benpwarner:
interesting

If you adjust the lcd density to 240 it makes the tablet think its a phone running stock ics, the only problem is it does away with the back and home buttons on bottom.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] toyface:
Ha ha, that's similar to the trick on some Honeycomb tabs, lower the density enough and it becomes a gingerbread phone ha
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Thanks for the input on .12 and touch screen still being an issue. My gf likes to play draw something so I gotta hold off upgrading till the touch screen is fixed.

EDIT: bit the bullet

My test. Seems the issue that plagued HC still exist. I can still play games fine though. If I touch the tablet with the other hand while testing it doesn't skip. Same as if i have it charging. Just like how it was on HC.

[youtube]pgHa2oAohBw[/Youtube]

Can you guys replicate the touch becoming disabled and having to double touch to re enable? I cant seem to.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Matt1408:
Downloaded the newest build. Seems to be a lot smoother.

A few notes, the Google Apps seem to have been updated to the newest versions.

There is the inclusion of an app called Planner which is can not be disabled in the Apps setting page. (All other apps included in the system do not have a problem with this). This app is also locked to portrait view, so if you open it with HDMI mirroring you can get portrait view on your TV :P
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bluevmax92:
i just spent 30 minutes chatting with an acer rep. they said (acer) wont be hosting the official version for download on their site.... once it is released, is someone on here gonna strip it and make it into a zip for our community? he told me the FOTA will not be sent to my tablet if the 4.0.3 on my tablet didnt come from acer... (i told him i installed it thinking it was the official release)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bluevmax92:
could you give some pointers as to how you went about reverting back to hc 3.2? by the way if you dont have a solid backup plan for your apps, i use applister.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ldC5iZXNwb2tlc3lzdGVtcy51dGlsLmFwcGxpc3RlciJd

this gives you the opportunity to email yourself a list of all your apps with clickable links inside the email... a little lengthy job but its surefire ...

ICS issues

Just installed the leak on Saturday. Right away seemed much smoother and certainly faster. Wifi did seem to connect faster with fewer drops, but still won't connect if I'm too close to my router (same as HC). All 92 of my Play Store apps automatically restored themselves, which was nice. Is that a new ICS feature or a new Play Store feature? Only asking because I had to manually install everything except my paid apps on my new HTC phone a few months ago.

Having same issues with games as reported, zero response from any ABirds, Stupid Zombies allows targeting but no firing. Zen Pinball HD works like a dream though. Haven't bothered to try Shadowgun or Dead Space.

I noticed Sunday evening that it started stuttering between screens, both on the launcher and the app drawer. 2 shutdown/restarts didn't fix it, so I did a factory reset and it was back to butter smooth. Now, a day later and it's doing it again? WTF? I'm normally not one to complain about a bit of stutter/lag swiping from screen to screen when it's just the way the device is. This seems to me to be degrading quickly from the fresh install. Anyone else experiencing this? Is it possible I have an app that is not playing nice with ICS? Can anyone point me to a blacklist?

I'm considering downgrading, but at the moment it doesn't seem to be 100% reliable.

Thanks

So... are there any oc kernels for ICS yet?

No.

Well I talked to an Acer agent and he provided the exact ETA's for 4.0 in both Canada and USA.

USA: April 27th

Canada: May 3rd

...so much for "mid-april"
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Matt1408:
WTF? Why is the date later for Canadians? What did we ever do to hurt Acer's feelings?

Oh well, I'm happy that we basically have the first 7" tablet with an official ICS

Is anybody going to stay with the leak? Or is everyone going to try to get the OTA on the 27th, somehow?

Honestly, I would like to get the OTA, but the leak is just fine (for me).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dansul:
ZeroNull posted a stock rom of ICS which from what others are saying, seems to fix a couple of bugs in the leak (which you may or may not encounter eventually).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Metallica 4 Life:
Can anyone possibly confirm this for me, since I got Ics, where's my water crashes with no internet connection, yet works just fine with one.

I flashed Acer_AV041_A100_1.014.00_WW_GEN1 from ZeroNull (in 100 development). Miss acer ring but seems great....
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dansul:
Any problems so far ? Have you noticed any lag while playing games ?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ferensica:
yes I agree, have downloaded the 403.1014 update today and it seems to work fine although still a few crackles in the sound when logging into the first encryption screen.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Metallica 4 Life:
Just contacted Acer again about the Acer ring thing.....aaaannnnndddd

Sorry I failed you France, but good news is that we know Canada and USA are getting it :)

i got my ota today

I don't know weather it would be determined as a bug or not but Honey Bar is broke and it seams like it will remain that way:( other than that i like it it seams much faster and cleaner.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jschall:
@Metallica 4 Life:

I got my OTA yesterday.

What the heck is that fourth icon in the bottom bar, the three dots in a vertical row? It doesn't seem to do anything.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Metallica 4 Life:
That's the menu icon, it opens the bottom menu bar whenever you have an option to.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] scrondone:
Can anyone tell me if after the upgrade to the ICS, the connection "ad hoc" working well with your smartphone?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] yanksrock1000:
Is that "Stock ICS" the same as the OTA? Anyone get it who had the Leak?

Either way, I think I will see what my options are after the 27th (USA ota date), because I'm sure there will be a bunch more options for us users of the Leak.

I would love to get the Ota, but I dont wanna do something stupid and ruin the tablet just to try to get something I basically already have. Better have ICS with a few bugs than have a broken/unusable tablet, like some others on this forum. ;)

face unlock

So I flashed the stock ics rom today and the facial unlock feature seems to be missing. Anyone else have this issue? Not a big deal but I've always wanted to try it. Any help would be appreciated.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Metallica 4 Life:
I think its just for the galaxy nexus, sadly, because my friend has the galaxy nexus S and he recently updated to ICS but no luck.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] marcusjbid:
If you upgrade to ICS you will have to root your device and replace your wpa_supplicant file with an alternate to use ad hoc connections.

After you've rooted use this guide:

Maybe a dummy question, but I thought ICS would allow us to delete bloatware? I am not seeing that at all.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] marcusjbid:
On another subject, my tablet takes a minute 20 seconds to boot up with the latest ICS. Is this normal?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] eww245:
Go to settings->apps select the bloat and where the uninstall button would be it should say disable. If it says uninstall updates do so then disable it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mitko29:
Ok guys today I updated my Acer Iconia A100 to ICS , but is a little bit dizzy and slow,and sometimes when I lock it and try to unclock it with the power button I see a black screen and the tablet turn off.

Any idea what can be wrong ?

I only installed a root access and some games , when I go in setting menu and see RAM I am seeing 254mb using.

Russia?

OK, so I didn't bother downgrading from the 1.012 leak since I haven't seen where anyone who went to all that trouble has actually gotten the OTA. I went to download the official "leak", and it's some Russian page that asking me to install some software called "Yandex" before I can download it. WTF? :confused: Sorry, but I don't think I trust some random Russian toolbar install just to get this file. Did any of you have to do that? Is there any other link to 1.014 file?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] eww245:
I said no to install that and eventually the download started.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] photopaul65:
Not working here, just sitting there

Gonna clear my cache/cookies and try the Ruskie site again...

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] GMC7000:
Btw, ICS screen capture is up + power in portrait mode, as opposed to down, if it hasn't been mentioned already. Small thing but it was driving me nuts that it wasn't working before with the traditional down + power.

Hi everyone,

I'd like to know which Official release number is available in Canada for Acer

A100 tablet.

There is still no ICS update for my tablet A100 as I was expected ....

i managed to get back to 3.2 and then updated to 3.2.1. and then stuck on a version that ended on the pa_ca version. acer support made a comment to me on the phone that said my version should have a gen com_1 at the end. they are unsure how i have ended up on that... im in the US of A. they told me that rollouts are coming and i should be receiving something by 24th of may... because rollouts are supposed to stop on the 24th... HUH STOPPING..? this acer tech rep disclosed a little too much info that irritated me.first, pa_ca... is this a hacked, unauthorized version that i shouldnt have received? also, stopping the rollouts on the 24th ? WHY????

I recently purchased an acer 510 and I don't like how it works over hdmi. Basically the bottom menu is cutoff and playing movies do not show the video player's ui over hdmi. Basically what I want is what is shown on the tablet to be shown on the display over hdmi.

I saw this clip of someone demonstrating hdmi with the acer 100 (in italian though and it's honeycomb) and that's exactly what I want. Does the a100 still behave this way after updating to ics? If it does, I find it strange that acer would make their newer device behave so differently.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Fredplex:
I'm in Canada and just got my a100 back from the ACER Canadian repair centre where they also replaced my motherboard and I have the same firmware level. I don't recall my original having the PA_CUS1 firmware, does anyone know what the PA_CUS1 firmware is? Also has anyone had an OTA update on this 1.015.00_PA_CUS1 update?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] valentinmtl:
I did not get the ICS update ether.

Acer Level 2 chat support told me that the update is on hold for Canada and they have no ETA. They told me the same thing 2 weeks ago (may 28th).

Level 1 support had no idea that it was on hold.

Or are they just saying that to avoid dealing with the issue?

To make things more confusing for me, I am running 3.2.1 with a build number I never saw anywhere else in the forums: ACER_A100_2.013.04_EMEA_GB
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] b1lk1:
They are blowing smoke up your butt. I have the ICS update, got it within an hour after I turned my tablet on when I received it a week ago. It was running HC and even did a HC update before the ICS update.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] FLyInG 2 YoUr SoUL:
First post on these forums.

First thing first: I'm really sorry, I would have posted it straight in this thread, but I'm not allowed to post in the development section yet, so here goes...

Tired of waiting for an official OTA upgrade, I flashed the leaked ICS rom for A101 on my device through official recovery, everything went fine and I'm currently enjoying ICS.

Image P/N under the Settings -> About Tablet menu says "Unknown" now tough.

Can anyone who's tried this ROM tell me if this normal? Did I miss something? It's driving me nuts...

Sorry for the ultra-noob question. Thanks in advance to anyone who will help :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
There is no need to worry about that. Everything will be okay ;).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] FLyInG 2 YoUr SoUL:
What is it supposed to be shown there? Shouldn't it say something instead of "Unknown"? Is that because the ROM is unofficial?

On A100s getting official ICS OTA it says FM.F18A0.XXX.

EDIT - Probably figured it out, is it the same as Baseband in mobile phones?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
Its more like the code (name) for the rom.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] FLyInG 2 YoUr SoUL:
Thanks.

ICS will be officially available next month for my device (07/11).

I obviously won't be getting it through OTA since I flashed the leaked ROM. If I flash the stock ICS ROM once it gets out, do you think OTA will then work again for any future updates (if any)?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
Yes it will ;).

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] uminded:
Auto-rotate Screen

I, like many others impatient for ICS, upgraded to the leaked 1.012 rom. Things worked great until I started writing my own apps.

I have noticed that auto rotation does not work in applications. Browser, Firefox, Gallery, none of these apps will rotate to portrait view when I move the tablet. I thought it might have been the leaked rom so I upgraded to 1.014 and did the OTA upgrade so now I am running Image: Acer_AV041_A100_RV16RC02_WW_GEN1 Build: Acer_AV041_A100_1.037.00_WW_GEN1

This problem however is still present. I know that the accelerometer works fine and in the camera app the previous picture in the top right rotates when I put the tablet in portrait. Under "Settings -> Display" their is no "Auto-rotate screen" option like on my other Android devices (HTC Incredible S 2.3.3) and in the android emulator when I load the 4.0.3 rom that option is available.

Does anybody know how to get the option to show up or even what file to modify to turn it on?

Thanks!!
