It's definitely the price.

Over here, they will keep them at the same price forever. Even when the supposedly "surface" tablets come out.

Can you believe they want $750 for a W500/16 mb????? And they have a "ton" of these windows tablets they can't sell.

But a birdie in MS told me, they don't plan on upgrading the OS.

Heck, if they dropped the price to $250, I might get one just to add to the collection of unused gadgets ;) I need some for a new business though.

Insane.

[Acer Iconia A500] yaworski:
It seems to be cheaper in Poland if you take memory size into consideration. Only the 32GB version is available in two options: with Window 7 Home Premium (about 690 USD without dock and 800 USD with dock) or Windows 7 Professional (850/880 USB without or with dock).

Those prices are from the largest polish computer shop network komputronik.pl (PLN/USD currency exchange rate from Google) and they even don't have the lowest prices on the market.

About the OS update, it is basically a PC hardware (AMD dualcore x86-64 processor and AMD Radeon graphics card) so I don't see a reason why couldn't it run Win8 desktop version. I don't know how hard it is to install new OS in w500 though.

haha lol no i dont see that happening anytime soon even if i dont see a port coming over maybe something like a chroot enviremont but not a port the only os's ive found runnable on the acer a500 are ubuntu, backtrack 5, some of the older mac os's, win95, bodhi linux, win xp (not worth it) and ARMEDslack :P
[Acer Iconia A500] yaworski:
I don't think that it is a good thing to mix natively running systems (Linux based) with those that require emulation (Mac OS, Win 95 or Win XP). In my opinion OS that requires emulator doesn't qualify to be categorized as "runnable" on specific hardware, as the hardware they are using are 100% software emulated and they are running on top of another OS after all.

Chroot won't allow you to run Windows, as chrooted environment is using currently running kernel, so you can only run Linux based systems this way.
[Acer Iconia A500] gears177:
I think that os's that equire emulation are slow and pretty much useless but i dont see any arm in running them :P
[Acer Iconia A500] yaworski:
It's all a matter of meaning of the "runnable" one chooses. For me to categorize system as a runnable on specific hardware it must be able to run natively on this hardware without the help of additional software layers, i.e. system's kernel and drivers must communicate with the hardware directly.

To run Windows on our tablets you need an emulator which presents additional software layers on top of a host system (Android/Linux) which create emulated hardware layer which is not equal to device's real hardware. This of course allows you to run the system on a variety of hardware which isn't supported by the OS itself, but this does not mean that it is runnable on this hardware.

I'm not against emulation. As a matter of fact I'm using VirtualBox a lot (in both ways: Windows guest on Linux host and Linux guest on Windows host). Of course to emulate different kind of hardware you need to have powerful enough real hardware. If you take into consideration that the host system also using CPU and RAM at the same time and emulator does full CPU emulation (x86 on ARM) you simply cannot expect that Windows XP will work efficiently emulated on Tegra2 with 1GB RAM.
[Acer Iconia A500] gears177:
agreed completely:) thats why the setup is not even worth it but if you do go through the grunge work of setting it up then when you actually get it running its completely usueless win95 you can atleast play minesweeper at decent fps but winXP is nearly impossible to do anything on even move the mouse with decent fps but still the option is there :P

Um ok so I just flashed FI03 rejected cracked stock 1.3b with FI03 radio/modem and have noticed when I open gallery it says media scanner completed but only locates a small portion of the pictures actually on my external SD card with the same story in the music app. I cleared data on mediasrv (it goes by some sort of new name on ICS but you know which one I mean) and now it locates NOTHING, through multiple reboots.

Background info is that I experienced the same problem on the gingerbread ROM I was running previously but only in the music app. Any ideas? :confused:

Thank you,

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
The update caused the sd card to unmount, I don't know if this will help after you cleared data, but try unmounting in settings then reboot your device.

Hi guys. So, my battery in my Amaze is not lasting long at all and I am looking for extra battery powers and things. It's between the Mugen 3600mAh vs the 2600mAh powerocks stick. The mugen is a big case for the phone adding aboit .9mm but has a bigger battery than then power rocks which is like a seperate portable charger. Which should I get? Would the mugen be too big when its on the phone? Would the power rock be impractable as I always have to carry that around with me? Please help and tell me when to do. Also, the power rocks is around $30 while the mugen is around $90.

Or should I just get a replaceable 2000mAh battery?

So why does this phone receive so little love from XDA Devs or other places like CM?

i cant understand why he uses this or exactly what it is :( i also dont get why he downloads franco kernel if he doesnt need it. what does that do? i have read sooooo many threads and posts on this but just cant understand it past here. why do i have to be on gingerbread? im on 4.0.4 xxlrk. cant i just root and flash? do i have to flasy CM7 to slowly upgrade to 10? and how do i even do that? Feel like such a noob, because i am :( just wanna make the most of my note :) any help.... INCREDIBLY appreciated.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azamilizzat:
one noob to another

i started rooting based on that video about 3 months ago, and now i am an addicted ROM flasher!

first and foremost, follow zedomax instruction on how to root without computer

ClockWorkMode (CWM) is necessary to be installed in order for you to install/flash ROMs and Kernels. Without CWM, you wont be able to install custom ROMs and Kernels directly from phone. you will be needing Computer.. which i would like to avoid as much as possible.

as for what is ROMs and Kernels.. the answer is here somewhere in XDA.

as for franco, it was advisable to install the kernel, as it helps on battery life and performance. i think there are latest version of franco Kernel anyways... you can search this forum as well...

if you follow the steps shown in the video, you don't have to be on GingerBread (GB). :cool:

and since you are already in ICS, then you can go directly to CM9, then proceed to CM10...

happy flashing!:fingers-crossed:

[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
There's really only way to find out.

A lot of times you can get a exteneded battery that is a little bigger than stock that is the same size. The One X battery might fit, it's only 150mAh bigger.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
I would guess it doesn't fit/work.

Why would HTC bother using 2 different batteries if they could use 1. Having to source more different parts is never a Good Thing in manufacturing.
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
Why? The same reason they left out NFC in the One S, Also the One X has a bigger screen so it needs a little more juice to get the same battery life.
[HTC One S] thanamesjames:
I know this thread is a few days old now, but thought I might have a little insight. Back when the Evo and Incredible came out (very similar relationship to One X / One S) the Evo standard battery WAS the Incredible extended battery. Same part number and everything, and they were exactly the same physical size! So I'm not promising the One X battery will work, but there's definitely a good shot.
[HTC One S] newbieandroid:
The current 1650mAh battery looks pretty big, so that 1800mAh may actually fit. The work needed to open the case seems to much to replace a battery.

you are right about the connector
[HTC One S] mo976:
the battery in the pictures on the site (see OP) does not look like it has any notches or cutouts indicating direction of installation (it looks like a square more or less) and could probably be installed upside down, allowing for the fact that the connector of the X and S are on different sides, but you would have to twist the wires over so that the connection could be made, and I am not sure that they have that much give...
[HTC One S] daniel3323:
honestly, getting a portable charger isn't that bad.. they hold at least one charge and are pretty small in size.

even if ONE S has a bigger battery, it certainly wont hold more then 2000mAh, and probably cause the same as a 3000-4000mAh portable charger.

Hello guys,

I have had my battery replaced with a One XC 2000 maH battery and I am underwhelmed to say the least. I've been using it for at least 4 cycles and the performance is not up to the original...

I've attached a screenshot from BBS (mind that airplane was on until 7am). As you can see as soon as I started to use the phone, I started to see sudden drops in remaining capacity. There were no wakelocks, the phone goes in to deep sleep alright. What do you think, the battery needs more time? I've been scammed? The battery is properly calibrated, the phone turned off at 0%
