[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forcystos:
My phone has had horrible battery life for the past few weeks. Basically each time the screen is off, it uses up virtually no battery, which is great, but whenever the screen is on the battery drops about 1% every 2 minutes. Simply ludicrous.

I've tried discarding variables, and it's always the screen. Whether I'm playing angry birds or texting, whether I'm in airplane mode or using data, screen on battery life is just stupid low.

What the hell is happening? Slim ICS + Matrix kernel, 800mhz underclock on lulzactive / ondemand. Lowest brightness. Data off most of the time. Screenshot included.

Oh, and it actually discharges when it's plugged in and I'm using it. Didn't happen before. AC adapter, no USB.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eaguil16:
Its normal for the battery to discharge over a period of time. The last thing you want is your battery to be over charged. If your losing about 3% percent overtime while the phone is connected then that's normal. If your losing more then you might want to check your battery or your charger. Wiping battery stats doesn't give you better battery life.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morpheuspt:
Try to get a new battery from a friend and test it.

Also try a new rom, and clean battery stats.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalan30:
I would suggest kind of like what the person above suggested. With minor changes. I would try formatting system wiping dalvik cache and wiping battery stats. Then flash slim again flash matr1x and gapps all while still in recovery. Then reboot.

Also, some ROMs seem to be less compatible with fastcharge so trying another rom might be necessary just make sure and do a full wipe.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forcystos:
Tried using for a few days after having wiped, tried a completely different ROM. The behavior is the same. One thing I didn't notice before is that the phone gets way too hot during use, so it might be defective. Let's see how hard it turns out to get a warranty replacement...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beavertank:
So I've been trying all night to transfer a handful of CBR files to my ATP through its USB connection. I'm doing this from my desktop which is running windows 7. (in case any or all of those details might help anyone)

At first, I was trying to transfer with the prime plugged into my keyboard dock with USB debugging enabled. Then I disabled USB debugging. Then I tried, with debugging disabled, when connecting to the tablet directly. Finally I tried connected directly to the tablet, but with USB debugging enabled.

At every step in the process I will get through one folder or so, and then get an error on my desktop that says the device has stopped responding or has disconnected, and the transfer will fail.

With a bit more trial and error it seems to be that any time I interact with the prime in any way while it is transferring (even something as simple as scrolling back and forth a little on the home screen to keep it from going to sleep) it fails.

I'm not rooted, I'm on the standard firmware (.21 - latest as of now), and I've tried restarting the prime.

I can not make these files transfer and it's driving me insane. Anyone have any suggestions or theories on how to fix this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wa3pnt:
I was hoping that there would be a response, esplanation, or solution to your post.

I am experiencing the same thing when I try to transfer a Titanium Backup Folder back on to the Tablet, be it to the internal SD Card or the External SD Card.

I've also tried all the options you mention (Debugging ON/OFF, etc.)

Are we the only two people experiencing this?

File transfers

Hi,

I was having the same problems, then gave up and fully charged it,

the next day I adb'd the same blob file and it did it in 5 min, the

night before when it was about a quarter charged it was taking a half

hour and would fail. I had it in CWM recovery. So try fully charging it, I have

also had better luck on a xp machine, then my win7 machine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tsmt971@yahoo:
I had the same problem on .21 not unlocked nor rooted.

I did full wipe data after upgrading to .21 then connected as MTP and copied files successfully. Hope this help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xn1337:
not to put you off trying to use usb, i had the same issue transferring 5GB from the prime to PC.

i found using Total Commander 1.0 rc5 for Android with the network addon i could transfer it faster via wireless (only due to the poor performance i had with usb)

so just share the content and drag it across the wifi.

Total commander *www*.*ghisler*.*com/android.htm

Plugins *ghisler*.*com*/androidplugins/

(remove the *, i cant post links yet :( )

one thing you could try if you haven't is plug it into one of the ports on the back of your computer instead of the front/top/side, sometimes these ports are under powered.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Astat731:
I have this error when i'm trying copy file more than 4Gb to sd card formatted FAT32
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
might be silly to ask but when you connect did you make sure your on media transfer not the camera one?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
This might be the reason. I hate it when this happens when I'm transferring files and I cant change or play with the tablet till its done. Its becoming more of a singletask device. I'm starting to lose faith in Asus tbh.

Acer ANZ have given a release date for ICS for the A500 on their facebook fan page, and as usual for acer their promises of an april release have turned into more lies, their release date in answer to a question on their page is May 17.
[Acer Iconia A500] me_ashman:
Doesn't matter really, they haven't said no. There's plenty of aftermarket versions that work fine anyway.
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
Yes! End the lies! MAKE them release the OTA update in April. Whether it's finished or not. Whether it's full of bugs or not. Getting it soon is far more important than getting it right!

...or maybe not
[Acer Iconia A500] frankws:
The problem people have with dates is that they only look at the date and not the rest of what is said.

The Acer webpage says the date for the A500 update is TBA Mid April.

TBA means To Be Announced mid April.

Seems to me that since it is early April and not mid April, they are ahead of schedule.

But they are guilty of being late in the past.

Still, do not go by Facebook. It is not reliable for Acer announcements.

Acer ANZ is Datacom Manila, a closed group of 64.

Does not sound like an official Acer site to me.

Oh yea, here is the Acer webpage.

[Acer Iconia A500] panda.bear:
This will be my last Acer product until their management changes their priorities.

So far I've been deeply disappointed by the timeliness of their updates. Moto and Asus have already pushed ICS to their hardware and the Asus tabs has vastly superior hardware compared to Acer offerings.

I guess Acer is just not very attuned to their customers' needs and that's disheartening as an owner.

[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
Let's see, I bought my A500 in August and it was loaded with 3.0. I quickly got the update to 3.1 and fairly soon received 3.2. What do you want, 5 major OS versions in a years time? Seriously, people... relax. Even if you have to only wait 2 more weeks, you're selling your tablet? I'm calling shenanigans.

Learn patience. A good, bug-free update, especially one with this many changes, is worth the wait. And if you're THAT impatient, root the darned thing and load one of the many ICS versions that many developers have to offer.

/end rant, but not before a general facepalm

[Acer Iconia A500] maris__:
If you will be watching the frequency and the increasing quality of the ICS leaks in the Dev section, you can expect the official ics update soon. And if you don't want to wait just install one of the marvelous ics custom roms. The improvement over hc is huge! !

[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Come on acer .. when are you updating me to Jelly bean.. I WANT IT NEED IT AND DEMAND IT NOW.... You know you have it ready for our A500 . who cares if google is still developing it..

Two weeks after you get ICS Official update on your tablet look back and think about what i can do now with my tablet that i could not do on honeycomb. I DO As well want official release. I SCREAMED at acer for months for a DATE.

Chill and see if they come thru. IF Not then just use your buying dollars next time pick another brand.. ASUS SAMSUNG MOTOROLA AND So on. how many have ics and when did they get it.
[Acer Iconia A500] ztotherad:
i honestly wouldnt go for motorola, their phones are locked down and as far as i understand the droid x2 (which is still in its 18 month update period) isnt seeing ICS so like acer they go back on their commitments as well

also, motorola promised that theyd release an unlock tool late 2011 and its april 2012 and there hasnt been anything released
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I totally agree. but i was just making note that there are other options. If a company sets itself apart from the others in a way they Support what customers want. Right now that company could Take many customers from the pack. People are sick of devices becoming obsolete and disposable in a year or less. And locked down tighter then FT KNOX. (i live about 10 minutes from there) I can tell its very secure.
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
As far as locked bootloaders, the vast majority of phone users don't even know of the possibility of modding... let alone have any desire to do it. The same goes for updates. People on sites like this represent the small minority of users. The typical tablet or phone user wakes up one day, looks at their device, sees a box saying there's an update, presses OK and goes on with their lives.

They bought their device based upon the user experience, not some vague hope that some major change will happen... sometime... soon.
[Acer Iconia A500] mpopovic85:
Hello everybody, this is my forst post, so be comprehensive... :)

If someone wants an Acer ICS build there is the latest "leak 1.031" on the Developer section which is very easy to install - download the zip file, rename it to "Update.zip", put it on your extSD and reboot while holding "power" + "vol-".

I never did any mods to my A500 since I bought it, never rooted or so, but lately it was starting to freeze and force close quite a lot so I updated it manually and am very satisfied - running very smooth, web browsing is much faster (using ICS browser+) and everything seems to work perfectly! I'm just saying that it's a very simple way to get stable ICS without doing any complicated things (CWM, root, kernel mods, etc...)

Cheers!

OK, as long as you're not too aggressive. :) ( :p - I couldn't resist.)
[Acer Iconia A500] danc135:
I also wonder about that. For me, I want to close apps on the multi-task menu (or whatever that menu with the running apps is called) and have a smoother pdf/web browsing (not sure it will happen). Simple as that!

What are some of your specific reasons to want ICS so bad?
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
Yay, back on topic.

Frankly, I'm not champing at the bit for ICS on my phone. I'll gladly upgrade when it comes along, but I'm not losing sleep over this. I'm looking forward to the promised better battery life (although I can't really complain over stock on a Razr Maxx).

I AM anxiously awaiting it on my Acer tablet, though. It'll boost an already good experience with the next evolutionary step from Honeycomb. There are some sticking points in HC that really will benefit from a streamlined OS. Honeycomb was a great first step for a tablet OS and I think we're gonna see a big leap forward in performance with ICS.
[Acer Iconia A500] Zoandroid:
I flashed the Lightspeed 4.4 ICS ROM last night onto my A500. Things seem to be running smoothly, but I honestly can't say it is walking on water or raising the dead. :D

The only issue I have seen so far is one that is commonly known to be in all the current ICS ROMs that were made from the leaked kernel. There is a graphics issue that occurs on the screen just before the boot splash takes over. But since I know what it is and why it is happening, I'm not concerned. The devs are hoping once the full release version of ICS is out that they will be able to fix it.

I have seen a strange 'flash' of the display a couple times when opening a new tab in either Firefox or Opera 12 browsers, but it doesn't have any lasting affect or interfere with browsing after it happens. I'm not into benchmarking, so I can't show you any hard data from before and after the ICS installation. It certainly doesn't seem any slower. :)

One point of concern for some is that there are some games and apps which are reported to not run in ICS. I haven't encountered one yet. If that becomes an issue, I guess I would go back to Honeycomb. But aside from wanting to see the shiny new ICS in action, I really don't have any great expectations for what it can do. So if something really cool happens because I have ICS now, it will be a surprise to me. :)

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

Are you referring to the new Ring Menu I have heard about? If so, the dev for Lightspeed chose to omit it from his ROM build. As I understand it the thing is pretty buggy.
[Acer Iconia A500] mschmiedel:
Well, in my experience, I have an older Epic 4G with CWM 9 (yeah, ICS 4.0.4). When I use my A500, I miss some of the ICS features (individual notification removal with a sweep, the so called task manager, and other details).

My Epic is obviously rooted and patched, but part of the reason is because the stock roms for this phone suck, and CWM have saved me from selling this phone.

As far as the A500, HC really works well, stable, nice. And, I don't have any specific reason for rooting my tablet, so I'm just waiting for the upgrade.

I work in a bigger IT company and I have some understanding about this kind of projects. I will rather wait one more month for a stable release (as stable as HC) than push for Acer to release a buggy version. However, it's just my point of view.

[Acer Iconia A500] xenon2000:
I like the native "folder" support of ICS. I have ICS on my Touchpad, but I can wait for ICS OTA for my A500. I just hope it can be rooted without a custom ROM.

Also will be nice to have easy screenshots.
[Acer Iconia A500] Zoandroid:
May I ask where the information on these ICS features can be found? I have not heard about any of the things being mentioned as features of ICS. None of them sound like anything I have seen so far in Lightspeed ROM. But he did not include the Ring interface (whatever that is supposed to be).
[Acer Iconia A500] ohlin5:
Link

I don't know if it has everything you're looking for, and I'm not allowed to post links yet, but if you type "Ice Cream Sandwich" into Google the very first result has quite a bit of info...

Also, I know the Acer Ring is included in Civato's ICS ROM, and it seems to work very well.

[Acer Iconia A500] Nessuno1:
I'm expecting a lot from ICS, I might be disappointed eventually :D

- First, I want two features that I have with ICS on my SGS2 : be able to swipe and close applications, and be able to make folders. This point is a great lack of HC (I installed Folder Organizer but it's a bit long to create a folder).

- Then I want optimization when browsing the interface itself and the internet too. HC seems to be heavy and poorly optimized, I can't believe a 1 Ghz dual core processor can be so slow at times. Hope ICS will improve things. On my SGS2 the default navigator is noticeably twice as fast (frim 3700 ms down to 1750 ms at Sunspider by theway). Of course it comes from GB, but still I have hopes for my tablet. Internet browsing HAS to be smoother (and a little faster), otherwise I'll have to consider buying another tablet this year :(

[Acer Iconia A500] xenon2000:
As one person mentioned before me. The "Ring" is an extra feature by Acer. It is not a native feature of ICS. Where as screenshots and folders will now be native in ICS.

ICS on A500

I was speaking to what I will call Level two tech. support having my tablet repaired for the 3rd time in as many weeks. Don't get me wrong prior to my screen freeze problem I have been running great since last May so I love the Acer A500.

Being in Tech / IT myself for a long time I understand the software process quite well and we all want an upgrade that is solid not quick.

That said the person who I spoke to told me that they (Acer) is releasing the ICS 4. update now so we all should really be getting it very soon. This person was very knowledgeable which also gave me some renewed faith in Acer since I have been spoiled by working with IBM Power Servers that really are an entirely different world. I use a Mac 95% of the time and Windows 7 on my laptop.

[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
It is important to note that they are calculating that 3% based on 100% of android devices in the wild. I think you will agree that 100% of android devices will not get ICS. Less than 75% of the 100% are 2.3 - and I'm confident not all 2.3 devices will get ICS never mind the remaining 2.2's and older.

So if less than 75% of the android devices in the wild have 2.3 or above and less of them will get ICS then that 3% goes up. I can't do that math, of course [without proper figures] but I'm guessing that we've probably hit the 20-30% mark of devices that will get ICS - not devices that will launch with ICS and not with 2.2 or older as it is unlikely [though not guaranteed] that they will get ICS as most of them are EOL and haven't yet mustered GB.

I already have the offcial build (post kernal) from a family member fro mthe CA norther America office, and the plans is to cue triggers this month, and ramp up distribuation as it progresses (it also handles A200 updates). This includes a patch beign psuhed agai nto A200 users of the orginal ICS release.

THe May 17th date was shown soley on an AcerAZ page. keep in mind they were late on the first Honeycomb release as well. However AcerAZ page distribution is not linked to offcial Acer news. Now does Acer Australia have the same release times for distribution of NA and EU, and Asia Minor.

I am not necessarily a noob at this because I did a lot of this stuff on my old HTC Aria. But I was trying to unlock my BL doing 2.3.4 steps on 2.3.6 and I managed to get this error:

Press a key to stop count down
Availible modes are:

5 BP HW Bypass QC DLOAD
6 BP HW Diag & Boot AP
7 BP HW Bypass BP Only
8 BP SW Bypass RSD
9 Android Recovery (NO BP)
Vol up to select, vol down for next choice.

Now I think what happened was that I didn't have my phone USB plug plugged into the back port instead I had it in the front one and caused it to fail.

Does anyone know if it's possible to save my phone, and if so what I could do to unlock boot loader for 2.3.6 or 4.5.141.
