The only thing u can think of is to make sure the screen orientation switch is locked in landscape (towards the left) when gilding it landscape.
[Acer Iconia A500] Fee454:
Yeah it is :-/ Might end up having to send it in unless there is a fix.
[Acer Iconia A500] dxharmon:
Yup, returned mine to work, they took it back even though it was a few days outside of the warranty.

If I buy another one I'll buy direct from acer.
[Acer Iconia A500] Fee454:
I got mine from walmart and I checked acers site and I must have registered it the day I got it...shows when purchase date was and that the warranty is still good so I should be ok with sending it to them if I cannot find a fix.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
If the OTA was successful it should tell you, so we will assume you're still on the HC b/l.

If you cannot boot to the OS or Recovery AND the update.zip method doesn't work THEN

Use TD's V4 if your original build is gen2 OR

a EUU package from vaches thread to recover your tab

If you can boot to recovery then restore from backup
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
yep i used td's backdoor/rootkeeper the first time i got the same result as you.

took a couple of tries but finally i'reverted to 3.01 and then OTA'ed up to 3.2.1

i did the following to get it to work

1) make sure backdoor is on, check sound is off - i had to run it twice before sound turned off

2) run busybox and backed up su location

3) run rootkeeper

4) opened acer recovery installer and loaded up stock recovery

5) and enabled the option in settings just to make sure and rebooted

6) checked system update and yes i have a new update

all four OTA's installed fine, i did lose root tho but opened backdoor and reset sticky bits

opened ari once again and got superuser request for access

loaded up cwm and booted into recovery and got recovery verified failed message. i had forgotten to uncheck the load stock recovery option in settings.

once i did that i was back to cwm

yeh it was a bit of a process and once i get the ICS OTA - i'll save it before installing - just for future possible borks - then put stock recovery back unroot b4 trying the OTA install - with any luck i should be ok....

I have seen at least 2 other people ask for it, and for some reason I get errors on every file I try to deodex with the kitchen.. and I'm not going to sit there trying to manually deodex over 200 files-- so I was wondering if anyone has one they'd be willing to share as a base for people to tinker with?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Segnale007:
Yo folks. I am finally flying back to Toronto tomorrow after having been here in Italy for the past 4 years, and I am so pumped up ...

Anyways, I have got an Italian Samsung Galaxy S i9000 with 1900/2100 UMTS bands and the current baseband firmware is I9000XXJVU.

I was wondering if by flashing a Canadian baseband version my SGS perhaps would might give me 3G with Telus or Fido in Canada.

Is that something that could be done via sw or is rather something hardware involved??

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
Do not flash a canadian baseband. There is no way to enable the 850 MHz band in your hardware.

However, in Toronto you will be able to get by by using only the 1900 MHz band. 850 MHz is mostly usefull for rural areas and/or basements.

So to answer your question, yes, it will work.

With Rogers/Fido, you will fall back to EDGE if you are out of the 1900 MHz UMTS coverage.

With Telus/Bell you fill loose signal if you are out of the 1900 MHz UMTS coverage.

Cool mate.. didn't know some Canadians mobile ISP uses 1900mhz band for 3G.. I am going to get a find number today ..

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1k3_:
Hi there. Well I'm a little confuse, because I read in somewhere that CMods doesn't have support for Webtop OS, but it have Lapdock support, so my question here is, what does the phone when you put it in the Lapdock? I mean, what works? It's just Android working on a 11" HD screen? (sweet) or it's the Webtop by default without any mods?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToonShadow:
I have a strong feeling it is the first choice since the Lap dock software was made by Motorola is not open source. I am not entirely sure though.

You should also check out the full Linux via web top mod, it might need to be a blur based ROM though for it to work
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexsupreme:
You have mirrored android (the screen you see on the phone) with the ability to use the keyboard and the trackpad for mouse.

The problem is that the mirror mode has the same resolution as the phone so the things are quite pixelated.

Overall the lapdock experience is much better on the CM9 ROMs mostly due to the different approach to UI and better mouse control.

Good luck :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymayer:
Just to confirm Webtop is actually a closed-source project based on open-source project so they released the open-source part but the closed-source part is still missing, that's why Android ROM Devs have many trouble with this because Motorola doesn't provide any support... And I personally find it stupid because it could sell the last Lapdocks on the market... :confused:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToonShadow:
That's interesting. I would say why not just build a custom webtop but now that I think about it, it will be pretty hard. Maybe the reason Motorola won't provide any support is to try and keep more people on their ROM, or at least a blur based ROM? Still pretty stupid; like you said, it will help them sell more lapdocks.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymayer:
Well, that would be possible to make a webtop-like program that would detect the Webtop (HDMI + Keyboard + Trackpad) and switch on Ubuntu automatically. But now the problem is the development which needs talented Linux/Android developers and this is not so easy to find, especially talented Android devs who would take a whole month to make us happy. The easiest way is still installing a Blur ROM or just use VNC. I will receive my Webtop in 2-3 days, I don't even know which way to use it...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexrsk:
1. You used the wrong firmware for your phone. The I9003 is not compatable with i9000

2. use the FIND YOUR DEVICE in the top Right hand corner of the XDA web page and enter I9003 and go to the section of the forum for your device.

Most of the users in this section (I9000) will not be able to assist.

Hello,

first of all, amazing forum :)

So lets start, i bought my sk17i, few days ago, and been spending last two days here reading xperia subforum. I think my mini pro came with .58, and i did overair update on the first turn-on to .62. Then started reading here about rooting, and decided to downgrade (flash tool, SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.58_GLOBAL) since its the easiest method to root. I used 4.0 zergrush. At first was getting problems due to MTC :D had to switch to msc, and rooting when flawlessly, 5 mins max. Deleted some unwanted apps wit super manager (found thread here, with a list of apps that can be deleted safely). I also backed up all apps with titanium.

Now im trying to update over the air to 62 (so i can have newest firmware and still rooted, if done over companion, root is lost), and im getting this error...

Any hints/help on why this might be happening?

Thanks a lot in advance :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dv2y:
I had this problem too, and the problem was the firmware version I used. My sk17i was from Brazil, and i had flashed the US .58. After tried a lot of things, I flashed the BR version and it just werks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] baenre79:
Some users also reported that configuring 3G did the trick for them, even if later on they used wifi to download the payload. Have you tried checking for the update over 3G?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] thinair11:
thanks man, you are the man :) i used Xperia MiniPro (SK17i)_4.0.2.A.0.42_HU, to downgrade again... i believe i got this firmware from this forum, hu=hungary i guess, so european, and i am in europe... flashed without problems, and updated to .62 over air without any problems :) Thanks for the idea :)

i dont have data plan at a moment, so could not try over 2g/3g.

edit: actually, i assume that after downgrading from .58 to .42, i lost root privileges, and then i updated to .62 without noticing it. So now downgrading again, going to root again and then update to .62 :) my newly phone been taking some stress lately lol

Hello all,

In advance i just want to say sorry if im missing a thred that can already help me and if i am a link would be great,

I am in the uk, this is the current spec of my phone...

Android version

2.2.2

Kernal version

2.6.32.9

software version

V10d-APR-27-2011

If any more info is needed then i will be happy to post it :)

OK, i am on the 3 network and have sent an email to LG regarding updating to 2.3 and they say that it is only available in the UK on the T-mobile network, I want to no if i can manually update to 2.3 that is compatible with the UK and my network. If not is there anyway to unlock my phone to make it compatible?

I have already rooted my phone using Gingerbreak

If i can update is there anywhere where i can get download links and a step by step guide that will work on my phone? i have been through many posts that explain things but i still am not to sure whether they will work with my phone, and if the ROM will work with my phone.

If i could get some advice or if someone could point me in the right direction of a post that will help me i would be most grateful!

Again i'm sorry if i am completely missing the obvious, i'm just a n00b in the process of learning. :o

Ive been stuck at the same point in the process for months :(

It actually depends on the game. Gameloft games will not look as good whereas other games that were not ported over from iOS will look better. Every game will look good on PS2 because that's what it was made for. Most of the games we play on the Xplay are ports that look worse. Compare Asphalt 6 on android to iOS.

This is a rather silly thread when you think about it. You are comparing a phone to a gaming system. That's like asking "Which is better - a Hot Wheels Boss Hoss, or the 2013 Ford Mustang?"

-- "Yeah, but the Hot Wheels car is really fuel efficient!"

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] painter_:
One way to look at it is when Google builds Android they build it for the Nexus models. Then they release the code, the other manufactures then modify the code to work with their hardware.

Now since you are on the Verizon version they modify google's code for their network so you would not have the 100% pure code, only about 98%. It would be purer than Motorola's build.

Also the Razor is a closed platform hardware wise. This is a really good video about the Razor. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/droid-razr-unboxed-the-xda-way-xda-tv/

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swbf2lord:
Rooting (completely different from jail-breaking), allows the user to run super user commands on their cell phone. Super user commands and apps generally have much more access to system files, allowing for overclocking (if the kernel supports it), free wifi tethering, and so on. Unlocking the bootloader allows for flashing custom ROMs on the device. Flashing can be done on a locked device, but no kernels (hence no overclocking) can be flashed. This also causes custom ROMs without their own kernel to generally be less stable than those for an unlocked bootloader device. Rooting is necessary for any Android power user, though a bootloader unlock may not always be necessary. Custom kernels often provide massive boosts to performance and add new features, so it is strongly recommended.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vash1053:
The Nexus line is Google's own idea of what an Android device should be; they are the ONLY handsets that are supported directly by Google. Consequently, Nexus phones have an Apple-like software support cycle (say what you want about Apple, the 3GS got iOS 5 before my Droid Charge even got Gingerbread) and huge dev support. Keep in mind that a Nexus phone is never designed to push the bleeding edge; it may have some neat new features, but they're never designed to be powerhouses (some say the N1 was, but IMO it was just in the right place at the right time). A Nexus device is the bone stock Android experience, an exemplar to the rest of the manufacturers on just what an Android device should be.

To summarize:

1.) The absolute best official software support you can get in the Android world, and among the best 3rd party dev support. While some devices released this year will be lucky to get ICS and/or Jelly Bean, you can pretty much rest assured that the GNex will go well into Key Lime Pie officially.

2.) Internal hardware chosen for STABILITY and EFFICIENCY, rather than bleeding edge, untested (and usually buggy) performance. That said, while it isn't cutting edge, the GNex has very solid hardware, and performance is always snappy and smooth.

3.) Usually has some neat perks that most other phones don't have. In the Gnex's case, it's the BEAUTIFUL 720p AMOLED+ display, NFC support, the ultra-fast camera, and of course Ice Cream Sandwich.

After using a plethora of other non-Nexus Android devices, I got absolutely fed up with the apathy that the manufacturers and carriers have toward updating their handsets. The last straw was, as I mentioned, my Droid Charge. Even though Verizon considered it the flagship 4G LTE phone well into last September, it was released with an out-of-date OS to begin with (Froyo; GB had been out for well over half a year already). It didn't get GB until after it had been replaced as a flagship phone, and then was (and remains) ineligible for an update to ICS even though ICS was released only six months after the Charge was released! What the hell is that!?

Never again. Nexus or bust. Trust me, you'll be happy with the GNex.
