totally wrong .

i repeat my older post: "Keep in mind that the widget shows that amps that the charger can do (detected) , not the actual amp draw... " .

"strange , when S4 reports 1900mA charge, on the lab supply it shows only 1720mA load... and when the screen turns off it shows 1540mA load... so i guess it's not so real the 1.9A load shown on the phone..."

So, 1900 can be the highest draw allowed for the connected charger (battery charging current + phone working current) , but it's not the actual load !!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] jaswinky:
Where am i wrong in my post exactly? That some cables as mine came defective on its impedance (i changed my cable and now i get 1,9) and be should try a different cable, or that input current is the sum of battery charging current plus cpu consumption plus screen consumption? All these i wrote.

And what do you mean with "lab supply"? A polymeter, ampmeter, oscilloscope or something like that? Once i made measurements with one of these and i got practically 1,9A with screen off as current widget showed in log. It is easy to check also without a meter, if you let the phone alone charging and it takes just 1,5A it will take about 25% more time that it should take if you calculate it based on battery capacity (mAh) considering 1,9A input current.

[Galaxy S 4 General] djcristi:
lab supply = adjustable regulated power supply, but this doesn't matter. it has a builtin voltmeter and ampmeter.

i don't understand why you make such afirmations. i already told you that the current shown by the widget is the detected charger max current, and not the actual current flowing thru power cable. You can see that for eg. when the battery is 100% , it still shows 1900mah. anyway, you need to understand first how the widget gets that value from the system.

anyway, with the screen off, with the widget showing 1900mah, the actual load is around 1500-1600mah, with battery charging at 40% , if i turn the screen on, the current increases. So the battery will never charge more than 1500mah. you can do a math with the MAH rating of the battery, and will see if it was charging from 0 to 80% (CC stage) with 1900mah, it whould charge very fast , and S4 takes a few hours to charge from 0 to 100%.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jaswinky:
Read again my first post where i said current widget measures in battery input, and not on s4 input (power cable). Maybe That explains the differences you are taking about.

I I'll do the test while battery is full, but consider, of course, widget current is not actual measurement, but a value (max or Mean? Maybe max) in a period, of course.

It is evident got are not electronic or electric engineer, neither you are studying engineering, current is measured in Amperes (A, mA, KA...) and not in amperes (or milliamperes) x hours (mAh) as you wrote, that (mAh) is a capacity unit on a concrete voltage, as batteries label. Correct units you should use in the quotes above is mA instead of mah or mAh.

[Galaxy S 4 General] djcristi:
lol, i am an electronics enineer, i make that mistake because i was in a hurry, i know the difference dude, i am into more complex electronic stuff, here we are taking about very basic stuff, that's why i want to make you understand them, if you got knowledge in android programming also, you would understand where the widget gets data from, NOT from battery !
[Galaxy S 4 General] jaswinky:
Man, firstly, i have never seen the source code for current widget app, but i know the tests i make and it is not necessary to see the code to check where is the app taking the measurement.

Secondly, we both are speaking in same language, don't worry about complex electronic stuff, i am also electromechanic engineer, with emphasis and a mastry in electronics, experienced in c++ several years, not too good in English, and about Android programming i just was helping long time ago aacount for allow his A1 kernel (for Samsung galaxy tab 10.1) to provide "fast charging" with non samsung chargers (you can check my inputs in that forum here in xda) to our lovely tab.

Maybe you have developed a lot of Android apps, or not, i don't know, it doesn't matter, but believe me, i know what i am writing, both about electronics and programming.

A bit busy cause my work, sorry. Have a nice day.

Oh don't get me wrong, it's still an amusing app. It's new and a beta release. There's room for improvement. Like if I type a celebrities name, I want to see the celebs Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Not just what people are tweeting and hash tagging about the celeb. It's basically displaying Google results in app format. I'd like it much more of it was a widget instead of home launcher. At least I can keep it as an app.

If you type it out as everything.me, it will show up in the search bar where you can then click on it in the app store.

Greetings everyone!

Last night I saw on HSN a new Android 21.5 inch Tablet/Monitor with a wireless keyboard mouse running Android 4.0.

First of all I wanted to know if anyone else has seen or purchased one. I searched for the device and I found a couple of YouTube videos showing the devices at tech shows and another one showing a ViewSonic version that was the same as the Acer device. Looks very cool (what I could see of it).

Second, I wanted to know if anyone has one and could give some first hand info about it. Like if it is rooted, can it be upgraded to Jelly Bean, etc.

Any info would be great! Especially if anyone has one and already hacked it! :laugh:

I was thinking about getting one. Oh and I do know that it can be used as an HDMI monitor with touch screen capabilities (Windows 8 is what one video stated).

Thanks! And if I do get one before anyone replies, I will give the low down! :fingers-crossed:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost_synapse:
Picked one an Acer in trade, quick check online shows availability at the box store for ~$400. Haven't had much time to play, but my initial impressions are positive.

Colors are bright and viewable at any angle.

Speakers are passable and a headphone jack provides options.

2 USB ports, need 1 for KB & mouse

MicroSD slot, unknown capability but works with my 8gb sandisk

Sometimes feels slightly underpowered, especially if using lwp- not a major complaint.

Chrome & Netflix work fine, so it meets 90% of my needs. Cannot currently install Facebook native app

It does do HDMI in, but not sure about output of touch for windows 8. I'm not saying no, but haven't looked in to it and doubtful.

There seems to be very little info on these things. I did take a quick few stabs at rooting with little success.

Can report:

Was able to install stock Google drivers for adb and bootloader

Could connect to adb and push files unable to run psneuter. Can't remember error but seemed to indicate locked bootloader

Only one physical button, so no "pwr+volume up" type stuff

Able to reboot to bootloader via adb

No display in bootloader whatsoever

Fastboot OEM unlock does not seem to work

Can reboot via fasboot reboot

Finally Got One

Well we finally got ours from HSN. Wasn't too happy with the delays, but that is HSN (long story short they sent a unit that was defective from some one else's return).

It booted up pretty quick. As soon as I got on to our WiFi, the setup was fast and easy. I got a BIG kick out of using the on screen keyboard (pun intended) :D

So far it performs very well. I would love to have Jelly Bean. I really got used to the Jelly Bean experience. But that is ok. Netflix was pre-installed and has a nice sharp picture.

Missing root. Anyone have any ideas? I haven't installed HP ePrint yet (the Play Store states that this device is NOT compatible with). I will side load it to see if it works. I will put it through it's paces. I think Google Cloud print works already.

I have alot of things to check out. I just un-boxed this and wanted to give a shout about how it is going.

Oh one plus about this system is (and I am not sure if it is Acer's software or the hardware) the wireless keyboard works GREAT! Unlike other tablets when you attach either a USB wireless or Bluetooth keyboard, this works without having to install a Null Keyboard app. When I unplug the keyboard, the on screen one pops up when it needs to. When you plug the USB back in the on screen keyboard goes away without any user intervention. The only downside is that spelling correction does not work when you long press a mis-spelled word.

So anyway I will be trying things out and report here anything new or different.

And thank you for the info from you other users. My wife and I are going to use this to replace our aging and almost not even useful G4 iMac.

Again if anyone has any updates or wants to share their experiences, I thank you in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JarlSX:
I got this unit as well. As a monitor it works well too bad the speakers don't work for windows.

Not too happy with the android part though.

I don't know if the 4.0.4 version is causing this, but there's plenty of apps I can't install from the play store, including Chrome (I downloaded an apk, but that version crashes a lot).

I got in contact with Acer (nl) today and he told me there are no plans for 4.1/4.2 at this time.

Told him to escalate my request and I will be contacted by the product manager next week.

I'll keep you posted!

Got the update and Google Play 4.1.6

I got the update pretty soon after getting it set up. I rebooted because I thought there was a crash problem with Google Play, but it turned out that the Play Store updated to 4.1.6 from 4.0.25. Good and bad I guess. I cannot verify it, but it seems that the OS Update may have caused the Play Store to show "Incompatible with your device" on a lot of apps. Not that this is relevant to this post, but we also got a new HP 5520 AIO printer so that we could use it with this (and our other Android) devices. I was sad to see that when I searched for HP ePrint app, I found it only for it to say it is incompatible. I thought "What the hell! HSN was showing that it was easily compatible!" Fortunately on my phone, I have an auto backup on install app (File Expert) and have a copy on my phone which I dump onto my network drive. So I used ES File Explorer to look at my network drive and installed it from there with no hitch at all! I have done this with other apps and they all work fine except some start up in Portrait mode with the screen being sideways on the DA220! We also have a Rikomagic MK802IIIS on our 40" HDTV and I do not have this problem at all!

Now if they put a swivel on the back to allow you to switch it to portrait mode, that would be COOL! (I'll try posting a pic! :fingers-crossed:)

I think it must have to do with the prop file. But I am just slightly able to understand some of the system level stuff.

I hope some XDA Genius can find a way to root this baby and maybe even a Jelly Bean Rom! LOL :laugh: :fingers-crossed:

Some apps work great even with the 2 point touch screen. Fruit Ninja is a blast on a BIG screen! LOL Some do not work like Stupid Zombies 2. :(

I have mixed feelings about some of the things. I really am hoping for a Root solution. I miss my AdAway app!

Hope this helps! I will keep updating here with new info when I find it!

also, the usb function (to hook it up to the pc) isnt working correctly, as soon as you switch to the monitor side of it, the tablet part becomes unreachable through usb

Chrome seems to be preinstalled on mine and works fine. But you are right a Update would be great and we probably should all ask them for a Update. The switching is unfortunate but since I have multiple Monitors I can Keep it on Android and still use the rest of the Monitors on Windows 8 to connect to Android.

That said I did find that the Monitor is best used as a Android Standalone device in the Kitchen or something like that. You might decide to connect your Windows 8 Notebook from time to time but thats about it. As a Standalone device it is great because of the size. I went ahead and installed one for my Grandma. She is 86 years old and never used a Computer before. She is now able to call the Familie with Skype and even get lost in Flipbook. She basically just clicks all over the place and reads what she finds. :) But the important part is she knows how to get back to Skype. The Home Button is big enough and the Skype Icon on the Desktop also.
