Yea, they can't feasiabally roll out the update to everyone at the same time, it'd overload their update servers.

You'll get it, probabally within a week, just be patient.
[Acer Iconia A500] al2052:
Still no update for me in UK, been trying for about 2 weeks, lost the poor signal problem, and back to uptodate message, must admit it would be nice if Acer was forthcoming with a bit of information.
[Acer Iconia A500] crazymanc:
The rollout started on the 27th april 24th for others no support what so ever from acer in the uk no infomation has to why some users in the uk have not got it thats why its a JOKE :rolleyes: and yes i do no it is in order it goes by the devices serial number and i started this thread to get replys from people in the uk who havent got the update so i would no if anybody eles was still waiting not from people to tell me to be patient and that i do not no how acer roll's out there updates thankyou very much :cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] nasimdejai:
I'm in the UK, on stock 3.2,never rooted and never flashed custom ROMs and still haven't received the ICS even after installing the Enhancement app. Sent Acer UK an email and one of the solutions suggested by the rep was to reset the device to factory settings which I refused to go ahead with. It took me a long time to get the home screens the way I wanted them and apps installed. So,for someone to suggest factory reset is out of the question. I'd rather stay on Honeycomb till Windows 8 devices starts showing up,meaning no more android tablets for me. This is my 2nd Tablet and I've been absolutely disappointed.
[Acer Iconia A500] CyaN1de:
So you ***** about not getting the upgrade but refuse to do what was suggested by the manufacturer to facilitate the upgrade? And it's Acer's fault?

If you want ICS that badly then dl one of the many stock ICS roms and do it manually. No need to root either.
[Acer Iconia A500] crazymanc:
In all fairness we shouldn't have to factory reset are device and reinstall all the apps and get are home screens back how we had them just to receive a update from Acer in most cases anyway it does not work it didn't for me i did a factory reset, it sorted my issue out with the market not upgrading to play store but that was it still no ICS so factory reset doesn't always work that is just Acers answer to a lot of problems when the customer rings or emails regardless of the fault 9 times out of 10 this does solve the issue but i don't see the relevance to doing a factory reset so we can download the update from acers servers the problem is acers fault not the customer and not the device so i would ***** aswell if i was told to reset and reinstall all my data with no 100% guarantee that it would update to the ICS the stock ics roms are they fully working or is there still issues with the orientation and wifi ? CyaN1de are you running one of these stock roms or are you running ota thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] nasimdejai:
Thanks for that response. Some ppl do not understand that not everyone is technically gifted in terms of installing custom ROMs or tweaking software on devices. One has to be very patient by following instructions to the letter and still, some end up bricking their devices.
[Acer Iconia A500] CyaN1de:
I agree that a full reset should not be required, but complaining your unit is not getting OTA then not even trying what was suggested and blaming someone else is just silly. Now if the reset did not work THEN I would be complaining non-stop to whoever would listen. ;)

I run OTA on wifes A500 and custom Flexreaper (atm) on my A500 (had Icylicious on previously).

Put custom on mine the day I got it as I didn't want to wait for OTA because I'm an impatient SOB. :D

The 1.031 leaked rom on here is the same rom my wifes tab was updated to OTA. So simply extracting the update.zip to sd card and flashing via power+vol button is the same as getting it OTA from Acer.

1. Download zip from http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=151

2. Unzip and extract update.zip from archive

3. Transfer update.zip to root of your micro sd card

4. Power up tablet holding power + vol (closest to power button) until you see something like "booting recovery kernal image" in upper left

5. Tablet will update to ICS and reboot.

All your apps and settings will remain as is.

Believe me, I am certainly not "technically gifted" in any way, shape or form. LOL

It simply comes down to following instructions (sometimes having to read them 3 or 4 times as not everyone's first language is English) written by the developers.
[Acer Iconia A500] bungaboy:
Your post would read a lot easier with sentence structure and punctuation.

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] bungaboy:
Never said or implied that. Just made a factual statement.

Sorry if I hit a sore spot.

Does it make you feel better when you call people names?

Oh, BTW it's grammAr.:D
[Acer Iconia A500] CyaN1de:
Apparently the 1.031 has been OTA'd in both Europe and Canada that I have heard of (was originally reported as European release only) Take a read in the Dev section, I am sure the same question has been asked regarding compatibility with certain gen's.

I am not up on what the different gen's are but I believe the differences are in the locale settings such as wifi and gps and such.

Still trying to figure these all out.
[Acer Iconia A500] crazymanc:
Ok thanks for your help will report back once i give it ago thanks again
[Acer Iconia A500] CyaN1de:
Try using search for your gen and see if anyone else has asked the question regarding this.

So many threads out there my head spins trying absorb the info....LOL

Fed up waiting for OTA, and confusing versions available (EU & WW) to download,

but would prefer to get official stock.

Thanx for any help :-)

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Cappelletti:
Hi there.

My girlfriend has a Galaxy W which is acting a little strange.

The calls are, not always, choppy. I thought it could be her carrier, but I used my sim, from another carrier, and it acts the same.

It's not always, but almost every time.

Before sending it the an authorized repair shop I'd like to try some things.

I don't have the phone here right now but I'll get it in some hours. What do you guys suggest?

Try to reset the phone (she already upgraded to the latest firmware)?

Try to change radio?

I believe she doesn't want a rooted and customized phone, because she likes it the way it is. But I need to know also how to backup it all up.

What do I use? KIES? And will KIES restore everything back after I reset the phone to fectory default?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanx.

I've added the Dvorak and Colemak layouts to this modified LatinIME.apk.

You have to have root access to use this; once you have that, you can push it to /system/app. BACK UP /system/app/LatinIME.apk FIRST PLEASE.

I've only tested it on my own Galaxy Nexus (CDMA, running a daily build of CM9); if it doesn't work for you let me know what's up and I'll try to help.

If you have any comments or suggestions to improve the layouts, let 'er rip down below.

For what reason do we need old ugly keyboard with small keypads when we got this ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] API182:
Right, here’s the situation, I replaced the screen on my HTC Desire HD a few days ago and literally the first boot since there was a Wifi notification of a ROM update also, so I did it... (Orange UK Software number 3.13.61.5) anyway, since replacing the screen / updating the ROM, the Microphone has gone ridiculously quiet when making or receiving a phone call and if I open the Voice recorder, I can barely hear my recorded voice back, and the only way people can hear me when I call them is if they put it on loudspeaker and still put the phone to their ear...

Ok so initially I thought that this might be a hardware issue as I have been in the phone, however, given the fact that I can hear some playback via voice recorder, this means that the Microphone is working..?

So after a bit more investigation, I found that if I remove the bottom panel that covers the SD Card and Sim Card slots, then Voice recorder works perfectly (but my signal drops off completely so I can't test a phone call... *Are the 2 little gold contacts to do with the antenna?*) So I have come to the conclusion that it must be software? As obviously when these 2 little gold contacts make connection with the phone again, ye it enables me to make a phone call, but wrecks the microphone...

On a side note, I have checked the little Microphone hole on that bottom panel and shoved a pin through it and it’s as clean as a whistle so it can't be a blockage of any sort...

So something is happening when the bottom panel is on the phone, those 2 gold contacts tell the phone to do something? Provide an antenna for it but in doing so almost muting the microphone at the same time..?

Any ideas on how I can fix this or where shall I start? Could this still be a hardware issue? Shall I strip the phone down again and pay special attention to a specific part? :S

Please Help!?

Thanks in advance!

Adam.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shad0wboss:
which rom are you using? if that's a stock rom, it is highly recommended that you try one of the custom ones from development section (sense 3.5 roms)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] API182:
Yes, its a stock ROM that was pushed OTA... It's a friends phone, I have a HD2 so I'm very familiar with flashing roms etc... but I'm going through the custom roms section and I can't seem to be able to find a good guide as a starting point..? I see a lot about Downgrading? and S-Off..? (Does that mean Signature Off?)

Thanks very much for the reply though! :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] API182:
Ok... I've flashed a custom ROM now, and a different radio '[ROM] Android Revolution HD 7.0.3 | High Quality & Performance | O/C | Legendary' is the rom I used...

Exactly the same... It's as if the microphone level is right down when the phone has signal/network as if I shout the voice recorder picks stuff up then...

Is there an App I can use to tweak the gain or something on the Mic levels?

I've had the phone in bits again and cleaned out everywhere, theres no dust build up or anything of the sort so I'm sure its not hardware related... but then if the ROM is completely different then it can't be software either can it..? :S

Cheers, Adam.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shad0wboss:
I'm no expert on electricity and all that but can it be possible that the power input onto the mic is being too low so that it is not functioning properly due to a newer screen sucking up a higher power? but then you mentioned that by removing those plates, it works fine...

I couldn't come across a fix as it seems that not many people had this problem so it seems that it is more of a hardware problem but i'll post asap i find something

EDIT: maybe this
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] API182:
Thanks for the reply! I can't understand what it could be... I have figured out though that if I hold the phone horizontally in front of my mouth and talk then it works... so I'm completely stumped as to what it could be... :(

Is there no way I can edit some sensitivity figure somewhere? :S

Cheers, Adam.

No mic issue continued

Hi All

I have had the same issue with no mic imput when calling someone on a HTC Desire 500 phone.

My problem started when I paired a plantronics bluetooth hands free device to my phone and started to use it.

While using the PK100 device all was perfect and no issues, but when I turned off the hands free device I now have the same issue no one can her me through the phone mic, no sound at all. I believe this issue is both software and hardware the software needs to switch the hardware (mic) on and off

It is as if the mic has been switched off by the (PK100) bluetooth hands free but the software on the phone is not re-enabling the phone mic so now I am in a situation where i can only use my phone via a diferent mic headphones or PK100 hands free.

I can also add that while in a call I have the option to switch from the hands free on the phone, or to use the phone or to use the PK100 from an in call option all works ok but the mic on the phone will not reactivate. this seems to be an issue with the software not activating the mic.

If anyone has any idea I would like to here...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david.proweb:
Hello!

A while back here, when I put my X8 to charge I can not use it properly. It seems that the smartphone is confusing commands, and acts totally bizarre, not respecting my will, so to speak. When I remove the charger cable, everything returns to normal shortly.

I'm using MiniCM9 3.0.1 currently, and I hacked my smart too many times. Maybe it was the cause of the problem. Now, how can I get the solution? Any tips? Someone had the same problem?

Bye! :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedii:
Specifically what is the problem encountered and what "hacks" did you do?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david.proweb:
I basically unblocked my X8 alone and installed much different versions, like GX, MiniCM7 and now MiniCM9, maybe others... I flashed it too. The problem is that when I'm charging my smart I can't use it because the touch commands are wrong.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedii:
Hmm actually unlocking bootloader and rom change does not really affect that unresponsive phone of yours. I suggest you to repeat the process.

Flash nAa ics2 kernel by nAa

Do a full wipe (data,cache,dalvik)

Flash MiniCm9 3.0.1

Then report if your problem still persist.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david.proweb:
I yet does it, last time. Problem continues :( Maybe is the X8 gesture (something like that?)... I use a fake dual touch, I guess that it comes with MiniCM9 too... I don't know.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stamatis:
Oh I gave you a thank by mistake,lol

I think the problem is that you have synaptics, maybe try to reinstall or unistall the module for fake dual touch, if that don't solve your problem, sth is messed up...

Anyway I was using SDE (or GDX, maybe) if that makes any sense. *and mine is cypress
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david.proweb:
Hum... The charger problem make sense, because I lost my original charger and I bought a generic. I noted the problem after that, but I never can think that it can be a problem. :) Thanks. I'll try find my original or buy a new one. :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VaskisCZ:
I guess it's because other chargers use different voltage, so they're creating static electricity and it could be confusing the touchscreen.

most of you will be smarts offs to me like in the original thread on how to downgrade but listen to me

i have a windows xp computer that is a waste of life and space and definately time

i need a linux or ubuntu workaround because i tryed to install ubuntu on the computer and it didnt meet requirements and i have no clue how to do linux.

My computer doesnt meet requirements of ubuntu.

I Need some help here please someon give me there own steps on how to downgrade.

try looking for a type of linux called "parted magic" its a smaller sized linux OS that can get the job done and you can boot it from a usb drive run it then delete it... best place to locate a version of parted magic is Hirens boot cd version 15... but without linux you can not downgrade.... step one ...get linux,... when you get that OS post back and we can help you from there

thankyou sincerely I will definately postback
[HTC EVO 3D] zachdees:
OK turns out I got Ubuntu barely working on here what do I need to do now
[HTC EVO 3D] wloftus:
first thing first...take the 2.17 RUU file you have rename it to PG86IMG.zip and put it on the main directory of your sd card then boot into your bootloader and install 2.17...then post back

sorry for the confusion im doing what you said. parted magic im bout done installing to usb after all done and in the linux thing what do i do and how do i get the RUU
[HTC EVO 3D] wloftus:
http://goo-inside.me/stock/shooter/ruu

go to that website and download the RUU 2.17 AND the RUU 1.13 from there....take the RUU 2.17 copy it to your sd card and then rename it to PG86IMG.zip then hold volume down and power to go to hboot....youll see it start to install an update...let it run and then post back...that is what you need to do after getting linux
[HTC EVO 3D] zachdees:
lets take a pause for the cause. in need faster contact call my number I'll pm it to you I can't get Linux to boot on the USB drive
[HTC EVO 3D] zachdees:
its okay I give up on the downgrade I don't have to crap to do it. ill pay some on or ask them to do it
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
I'm hoping that you didn't get a bad vibe in one of the downgrade threads. I am personally willing to help as much as possible. Give the CD in my signature a try. :) There are instructions in post #3 of my thread. If you follow them step-by-step, you should be fine. Please don't be turned off by what happened. I'm sorry.

~co~
[HTC EVO 3D] Rondonkulous@gmail.com:
I agree with closeone. His boot disk is the work around you need. If you cant burn the cd get you a usb thumb drive and boot from there. I unfortunately cant get the 2.17 to brick. Its saying it cant find the image but the PG86IMG.zip is in the root. Also before that its searching for another file. The sd card is in NTFS could this have something to do with it? I have tried multiple 2.17 RUUs so i dont think the image is corrupt...
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
Hi Ron. It's very possible that it being formatted NTFS is the issue. Generally, you'll format your smaller media as FAT32. Second reason may be because the zip file has been named PG86IMG.zip.zip. If you have 'show file extensions' turned off, then the file should just be named PG86IMG.

~co~
[HTC EVO 3D] Rondonkulous@gmail.com:
Thanks ill try reformatting it tomorrow when i get off work. I always keep my extensions shown so its only 1 zip so ill try fat32 and get back to ya tomorrow evening. Thanks a ton and great work!

In the few recent versions of IceColdSandwich Lord has changed to the sense 4 multitasking option which in my opinion looks worse. Another issue is that I have a cracked screen which has touch issues pretty bad when using the multitask option and it is hard to scroll threw all the apps.

Bottom line: Is it possible to change back to the original multitask by a flashable zip or someone teach me how to do it myself? Thanks

Not without making a ton of framework changes. You could just switch the web os style in rom manager
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfexion:
How do I switch it?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Looks like it has been removed in the newer versions sorry. Ok then the answer is no. Not without massive framework changes
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfexion:
You wouldn't happen to remember the version that had it? I could probably find the apk
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Its not as simple as an apk. It is built into the framework. If you use an older framework not built for this release everything will FC. You would have to build a full rom from source and edit that out while adding the old back in.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfexion:
No I mean did you say rom manager had a built in function for multitasking? the .apk for that
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yes rom manager had the option to change it but without it being being built into the framework when you went to open rom manager it would force close. All these option depend heavily on the framework file.
