[Acer Iconia A500] a.child:
I <3 the usb port. It's too bad the A510 and A700 don't have it. I agree with Neoprimal, though. If you want a tablet, I would look at something like the transformer infinity or if you feel like it, you could wait for the Nexus 10, but that might take a while...
[Acer Iconia A500] TravisAntonio:
Alright guys, then I will save money for better high-end tablet, but really I would like to wait little more till Windows 8 tablets go out, so I will test them and choose between Android or Windows 8 even though I cannot compare a full OS with Android but let's see...
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
My A500 is my work tablet. I use it for the databases I use on the job. I also use it to offload pictures from my camera between shoots. And, with the 64gb micro-sdxc card, I have a ton of movies, music, and TV shows stored. It's a solid, reliable, versatile tablet.

I also have a Nexus 7. The Tegra 3 system is fast and Jelly Bean is great... but it's more of a toy than a serious tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] a.child:
The microsoft surface will be pretty interesting. Depending on the price tag, it has a lot of potential.
[Acer Iconia A500] gfinockio:
It comes down to price - I snagged my current 501 for one hundred dollars, so to me it was a great deal for even a year old tablet. I would say the a500 is probably good value at 250 US, but nothing more.
[Acer Iconia A500] TravisAntonio:
I was about to get one on eBay bricked exactly the way the one I fixed was for 80 USD, but then I ended buying something else :-/
[Acer Iconia A500] greeky510:
cowboom has them for $200 used. I have one that i got from them almost 7 months ago and i love the damn thing. I love the fact that it has a full usb port so i can plug in my wireless mouse and keyboard. I love the fact the there is a flash for the main camera. And it looks pretty damn good.

There is also a good amount of development for it.

What did you buy? What did you buy? Do tell. Do tell. I want to know, WE want to know. I demand to know. lol

:silly:
[Acer Iconia A500] gfinockio:
Yeah - mine was a bricked one on eBay as well... took me 30 minutes of Googling and 45 minutes of work to fix it!
[Acer Iconia A500] bkanuka:
I also would look somewhere else. Personally I would go for the Nexus 7 at this point if I were in the market, precisely because its more of a toy. I used to use my tablet for work (the USB port and big screen are great and I've seriously dropped it a few times with minimal damage) however, now I've switched to using my phone for notes and todos and I have less need for these things. So I know what you mean about the A500 being good for work but I want a toy :) (development, screen size, nexus name)
[Acer Iconia A500] azoller1:
About a year ago it was a great tablet, but there are so many more options out that are better for the price. Though the iconia is one of the very few with a usb 2.0 port, but the asus transformer family have it with the dock, the nexus 7 is a great fast tablet, but you could untill they made a 10 inch nexus
[Acer Iconia A500] TravisAntonio:
I bought the Dock of My Atrix (Including Moto Keyboard, Mouse, Multimedia, 18W Charger, and more Etc...) so I can plug USB HDD and other things I like to use plus I can use the BT devices for futures devices I buy.

Also I will wait a little longer, I'm not going to buy a Nexus 7, since in 2013 I'm going to university (College) and I would not like to use a laptop but who knows if I change my opinion...

(Off-Topic) Today I looked at my Join Date and I knew that I already can sell and buy things in the Marketplace ^^
[Acer Iconia A500] Booboo64:
Indeed. The ipad is a different tablet altogether, particularly if you are looking for a reliable, curated ecosystem. On the other hand, the Android tablets are great fun to play around and customize to your hearts content, as long as you are willing to read blogs/sites, make backups, etc. Personally, it's a hobby so I enjoy it. However for my parents, it's an iPad no question.
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
So... you bumped a thread without a post in a month and a half to cheer for Apple? Why, exactly, did you join XDA? To troll?
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation in this matter.
[Acer Iconia A500] Runnin_IT:
I bought one today for $125. Pretty good tablet, but I wouldn't spend more than what I did for it. Probably gonna load it up with games and books and give it to my son.
[Acer Iconia A500] starbryte76:
I adored my a500 last summer when I first got it, but I noticed it gets a bit wonky after about a year of use. I use mine daily. Reading, games,email,surfing,etc. Luckily I was able to exchange for a new one and that froze on startup screen after a month. It was "gently used" . I am wondering if I have bad tablet luck or the tab just konks out after a period of time for whatever reason.

I now have another "gently used" one while they are trying to fix my old one that froze on startup screen.

It seems to be working well.

I am considering the Nexus 7. I love the camera in my a500 and ability for SD card and installing my USB keyboard.

Guess I gotta make the good ol' pro's and con's list huh?
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
I use both my A500 and my Nexus 7 daily. The Iconia, I've had about a year and a half, and it's been trouble-free. No idea why you seem to be having a string of problems with them. The Nexus 7 is a look at what the next-gen Android tablets will be. They literally make the iPad look silly.
[Acer Iconia A500] skurtov:
I bought a password locked A500 for $155 on Ebay. If you find something for that price go for it. A ten inch name brand tablet is a great steal for that price. Plus the development community is great, with Jellybean in the works. Plus it has over clocking, which this tablet already out performs my expectations especially being over a year old and running a Tegra 2. It's a solid tablet, I use it for typing my papers and doing my research at my university, and if you don't plan on doing anything ridiculously graphically intensive it will suit all your needs just fine.
[Acer Iconia A500] sRDennyCrane:
It's not slow, the lack of a particular update does not turn a good tablet into a bad one, and yes, it plays HD video back well. Try a better player like MX Player.

And, was it really worth bumping an old thread to complain?
[Acer Iconia A500] tahayassen:
I bought mine for $200 brand new at the start of September. Definitely worth it.
[Acer Iconia A500] slotsman:
I love my A500!

There's really good options on Rom's available and they keep the tablet alive and kicking.

Check Civato's Rom's for example. They are stable and gives you all that the new Tablets are coming with. Remember that it's not the hardware but the software that can make a difference. Just for a reminder check the hyper-thread tech software that is equipped with most of the laptops for over some time. This is not hardware!!! It's just software making 2 cores on one physical. You get a new laptop with a lot of looks changes, but it still is the same processor, the same HD, and so on.

The brand companies are always changing from something to another depending on their revenues. A wise user will always studies the available options and check what it really needs. Myself it was, at the time, the USB ports. It's the reality... Everyday someone comes with a pen drive and tells you "Check this out". You will look stupid if you don't have an USB port, but... my A500 does have it and plays anything... Whoooooowww

Anyway, it's my alarm clock, daily planner, email checker, office all-in-one (my tablet was the official savior of a final presentation once), my media share (HD movies anyone? just connect the HDMI cable to the port and we are up and running... as well my collection of music videos and mp3...), well I even used it once to direct my satellite antenna... It's up to YOU what you can do with it. And most of the apps are free!!!

Speed? No problem. I'm running a ROM that is overclock with no heating or batt live excess consume. All games work fine and in HD!

Again, I love my A500. I think if you get something you should get the best of it and I do believe that this tablet still has something to say on the newer software that is coming... Jellytime!!! Some Dev's are already working on it and pretty soon it will at the same level as any tablet out there.

This is just my opinion. I think for the nowadays use it's a tremendous tablet and compared to an Ipad... sorry but mine wins!

Cheers to all,

AND...... yes I know that these games have been mentioned before I just didnt have time to locate the thread as I am at work, but wanted to let everyone know. (Looking at you TL... as I know you like Iruna & Celes Arca :laugh:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
All over 'em.

Celes Arca definitely was not the game I expected it to be, but now that I realized it's the online 3D Final Fantasy that should have been made ages ago, I spend more time on that than I ever did in IRUNA.

What I really want to see more than anything is Stellacept Online though. Have you seen how amazing that game looks?!

[YOUTUBE]M4VEIov00Zo[/YOUTUBE]

Good LORD...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
I emailed the dev about Stellacept and was told it is being translated but no release date was available... perhaps I sdhould email them again as that was about 2 months ago.

Found this....... apparently StellaCept was pulled from google play.... dont know why.....

http://translate.google.com/transla...a=X&ei=b6gaUNPXLI2ujALy3IGADw&ved=0CHAQ7gEwBg

EDIT: StellaCept has gone offline as the Dev is reworking it for a MAJOR update.... will post when I find out more

Avabel Online..... may be coming to android... (THIS LOOKS AWESOME, TL....... your going explode)

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
Avabel is on Android :)

Just not in English :/

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asobimo.avabel_gp&hl=en

Btw, do you guys think the Play is strong enough to run StellaCept? Currently Avabel has it listed as non-compatible and these games look pretty complex.

Edit: StellaCept is also listed as being incompatible with the Play. There is a review (albeit 3 stars and in Japanese) by someone using an S2 which isn't a huge amount stronger and another good review from someone using an Xperia Mini Pro which I believe only differs from our device by having more RAM.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
I think they will run, they are probably set to non-compatible as they are not in english. there are many apps/games that just because the language listed is not native that country the Devs might restrict it, you can see it just not download it
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bhavei:
I was able to play avabel on my play, no target lock, graphics damn good, but lags at times, since its not on english, i was unable to drop its graphics. Possibility that this is one good game for play.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
I'm kind of worried about this company. They have so many great concepts but I don't think they could possible keep up on all of them. It would be really nice in my opinion if they would abandon all but one product and make it kick ass rather than set up the groundwork for ~10 games and slowly release meager updates.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cloud1250000:
lol It's probably not the only same guys in the company that have working in creating these games... it's more like little team where each member work great together and these team are releasing under this company name probably ^^
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BrianChase:
of course but imagine if the resources spent on that many games were pulled into one game? I've only played Iruna but it has a long way to go and will be horribly dated by the time they finish it up and from what I've heard the others will likely share the same fate.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Magelix:
Now celes arca control is not working for the new update i wonder what happend
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:

Iruna & Celes Arca had updates today
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Magelix:
But xperia play control is not working for celes

Iruna still working fine
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] aros2k:
Are the others optimized?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Magelix:
What do you mean by other if you mean iruna then yes it is better optimized
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
Just started playing iruna, it would be easier to play with optimized...but seems that it wouldn't work so.well due to needing to swipe to.access the extra shortcut keys....which, when I first started an hour ago just to test it out, thought the screen was cut off lol.

Only rhing I have against it is that my wifi keeps getting droppex only on this game...none of my other apps, onlive included, have this problem..so I.haven't even got out of the starting area yet.

Ill go try celes now.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] aros2k:
I mean do the Xperia Play buttons work? As it doesn't seem like they do and this is the XP games & apps section - post touch screen stuff elsewhere :-\
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
It's weird, they used to... but as of this update, they don't. At any rate, I have a perfect GameKeyboard configuration that I'll be replacing my old one with that makes it work better than their Xperia Play support worked even when it did.

May even put together a video ;)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
Is that for celes or iruna?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Magelix:
If you use gamekeyboard how will you chat

In twom gamekeyboard work fine since chat is special but in celes how is gamekeyboard gonna work
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
Hmm..now the controls for.iruna are working. But, I realized that I keep losing connection to my wifi which is weird because I have 1 to 2 bars of wifi, however, I'm on the edge of my wifi zone while I'm sitting in.bed playing lol....maybe I should try being cliser to the wifi amd see if I lose connection every 2 minutes or not.

[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
I have just updated to Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable on my P990 Optimus 2x (Fido Canadian version).

When I go to the CPU settings I cannot change the min/max frequencies or select a CPU governor.

I have done some research and found kernels like Vork and FauxDS, but they are for 7.1 nightlies so I am not sure if it is a good idea to flash them.

What I am most afraid about is the possibility of getting the black screen of death while my phone sleeps (it happened once already but it stopped after I changed to a different charger and reflashed CM7.2).

The reason why I want to change the settings is that there tends to be scrolling lag (my old HTC Desire Z was faster!) and there is also a bit of lag waking up the phone (lockscreen does not appear instantly when pressing power button).

Does anyone know what is the best kernel I can flash to enable frequency/governor changes in CM7.2 stable? I would prefer not to change the ROM if possible as I am kinda nooby in comparison to the XDA community in general. Thanks for any help.
[LG Optimus 2x] heavencanwait:
I suggest you try Etana kernel. It has the things you need. Also use CPU master to set profiles and minimum CPU frequencies. I used something like min freq 352 MHz when asleep (don't worry doesn't drain battery) and I had no lag whatsoever.
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
Are you referring to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427646 ?

If so, do I just flash the zip off the sd card using ClockworkMod? And what are the differences between lite and DS?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
All right, after reading, I determined I don't need LOC/HOC/DS as I don't intend to raise the max frequency, I just want to raise min frequency.

Installed the Etana kernel via CWM and it works. I can raise minimum frequency, though I still cannot see a governor option! Any idea how to get my governor setting back?
[LG Optimus 2x] heavencanwait:
You can use CPU master and set some profiles. It's not exactly the same as governors but it's as close as it gets and it gets the job done pretty well. As far as I remember there were two governors for O2X - powersave and performance. I've always used performance and I can't tell if there's a HUGE difference in battery usage. I guess performance utilizes higher CPU frequencies when the device is asleep and somehow scales faster to even higher frequencies when needed to. But this might be complete crap as I am not too much into how CPUs work... :)

And please use the THANKS button (right below the user name), it kind of forum etiquette and it keeps people motivated to help others. Thank the Etana developer too. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
Thanks for letting me know, I didn't realize there was a thanks button at first haha.

Fixed!
[LG Optimus 2x] Rayman96:
As for now CPU Master in his profiles let's you choose governor. We have only 2. Power save nd Performance.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robdpi:
I recovered my phone after a water damage and it seems working fine except for one issue..

The main camera won't autofocus, no matter what ROM i install on the phone.

This makes me think that the problem could be hardware related..

I can take pictures, but the focus setting seems to be stuck on macro, since i can only shoot close-ups.

I tried to change focus settings, install stock rom with all the resets and wipes..

Do you have any idea on how to fix this problem?

I am tempted to try to mount a replacement camera, but at the moment the prices on ebay are quite high..

I was running Sky ICS rom, and I wanted to try Miui, so I went to do a backup using CWM Touch and when it was doing whatever it does, the phone vibrated and shut off. Battery was fully charged. Now I can't get the phone to turn on. I will hold volume down up and power and I will get a vibrate and the samsung logo for a split second, and then the phone just turns off. I have tried volume up and down putting usb in nothing, tried the same with taking the battery out nothing. Just get a vibrate and the samsung logo for a second. I cant even get into CWM anymore. I have no Idea what happened, I have searched around, tried all the instructions to try to get it into odin mode, but nothing works and the only thing that I was thinking is that I will have to order a Jig...hopefully someone can give me a quick solution.
