I'm not sure how much monitoring you can do without rooting it. Maybe try checking if it's the CPU that keeps being stressed. Have you had this (or your wife) problem since you bought the phone? The battery life isn't exactly great, but i make 18 hours under heavy use (facebook, whatsapp, all that stuff). If she's not too keen on her data or you know a way to back it all up it might be an option to perform a factory reset.

Power down the device

press volume UP + power for 3 seconds until the menu comes up, and choose recovery. From there I believe (I'm rooted and I havent even looked at that recovery, CWM on mine) you can wipe all the data...maybe it fixes it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rowlers:
In case any one else has this issue on standard unrooted firmware, The acer update service was locking the cpu at 1200mhz. Disabled this & Greenify and now wifey is getting a good few days of standby.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] emogibran:
Now I'm using kitkat RC10, if I want to disable it should I root it first? and my wifi is always on even the toggle says off :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shreps:
Upgrade to RC14 with a factory reset, it will help to resolve your issues.

And yes, for CPU manipulation, Root is resquired.

Since I've installed the latest version (kk) I cannot used anymore Google Authentificator.

Somebody else has the same issue??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nicollivier:
I've re-installed the latest version to test one more time the google authentificator issue.

Same issue with a brand new install.

So I wanted to re-install my backup, but here is the problem....

I cannot access to the recovery, I've the red exclamation mark.

Impossible to shut down the phone to try to re-install the recovery.

Any tips ?!

Thx

Nicolas
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bartjeh1991:
Have you tried the app flashify, you can flash recovery with that app. You only need the recovery.img for your device. It should be in the forum i thought, just have a search.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
0) When totally stuck or in boot loop, hold Power and Volume together for min 12 sec. Else wait for battery to die.

1) Flash recovery using an Android app (phone needs to be on and rooted etc);

2) Flash recovery using SP Flash Tool (see FP/TS > Root by flash)(phone needs to be connected to USB when off);

3) Flash recovery by Fastboot (holding Volume Up while rebooting or powering up).

4) Use recovery (by vache or Shreps or Carliv, see FP/TS) to restore backup.

Easy... It is possible in many ways.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nicollivier:
Thx for your answer but:

Option 1 is not possible because It's not rooted anymore, as I've re-installed the system and I was not able to access to recovery to root it

Option 2 tried many times but I'm stuck with this red exclamation mark, and honestly I don't understand why because I've already flash couple of time with this method and it was OK.

[EDIT]

Option 3, through the fastboot, I've got the error :

"partition recovery not support flash"

Any ideas?!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
When SP Tools (older version!) is waiting for phone (Download recovery.img to phone with correct Scatter file loaded?) and you connect your phone (while off!) you get the exclamation?!

And you CAN get in Fastboot, and connect it with pc and use fastboot commands? Tried "fastboot erase recovery" then "fastboot flash recovery IMAGENAME.img"?!

Ps. Maybe try root it with a closed source (potentially dangerous) app like VRoot etc, then restore recovery with another app, then restore backup? I am not aware of root apps currently (KitKat) working though...

Ps2. What kind of phone do you exactly have, and which recovery are you trying? This error seems to occur when recovery image is not the right one, or is corrupt. Another common cause is a broken or corrupt cache or recovery partition. Check those too (right size? wipe cache?)!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nicollivier:
Thx for your reply.

I've the Liquid E3 Duo.

Using the SP Tools I got the green circle, which should mean that it's OK. But when I want to start on Recovery I got this icon:

Red Triange

I've tried to erase the recovery through fastboot, I'm still stuck on the message "erasing 'recovery'..." for more than 10 minutes, not really sure it's normal....

Files I'm using come from the French tuto here.

I've tried with its recovery.img (from French site) and also from "Vache", same error....

[EDIT] SOLVED. In fact I don't really understand why, I should made a mistake before... Anyway thx for your help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Adge40:
So flashify will just plain and simply flash the recovery images listed in this thread??

Possible to use call recording on our E380 yet (prefer manually, no apps or frameworks)?

As we are not able to use Cyanogenmod 11 (build 14/08/14 or newer) yet, is it possible in our stock Jelly Bean or KitKat ROMs, just like the Samsung S5 can!?

If I'm right we are only 2 days (or so) away from the official release of KitKat for E380 by Acer! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vodoo:
Hi Guys,

E380 + CWM on clean stock ROM. Cannot flash any of beta kitkat from SD:

Finding update package

Opening update package

Installing update

Installation aborted

I did try to flash stock again, after that wiped all data etc. Still no joy.

Any clue guys ?

[MENTION=1110248]update[/MENTION] a ok file needs to be unzipped ;) but now when flashing FixPack-B got following message:

Warning: No file_contextsasert failed: getprop("ro.product.name") == "e3_emea_gen1"

E.Error in /sdcard/FixPack-B.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted

[MENTION=1110248]update[/MENTION] 2

Fixed ! Got wrong CWM (6.0.3), installed 6.0.5, flashed without any issues.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Brick3d:
I think it would be possible. Lewa and MIUI roms have this function built in...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Well we are still hoping for CynogenMod one day, but lets try MIUI 6 (or 5?) and maybe Lewa OS5 first?

MIUI would be cool!

Our official Acer KitKat 4.4.2 can drop any day now...

250th Post

Off topic:

Wow guys (and girls?), the 250th post in our Acer Liquid E3 - E380 thread at XDA! (And as I see now my personal 200th! Hahaha)

Just a couple of months after launch (and ownership), and we came a long way in rooting and testing and experimenting already!

If Im right only a couple more days for Acer's KitKat 4.4.2 update to arrive, and I really really hope to see some custom ROMs soon!

This 250th celebration is a good moment to

thank you

, as reader, poster and supporter, and these in particular (random order):

Carliv (Touch Recovery), tiliarou, d3nnisd, Dakloos88, Shreps, vache

Let's go KitKat/custom (MIUI/Lewa?) guys, and let's do another 250 :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
I hope Authenticator will work properly on Kitkat :) Kinda need it ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Brick3d:
Yes, miui (on mtk devices) runs on stock kernel with some modifications. Mostly if you find a similar phone with a miui rom you can port it using one of the many mtk porting guides out here on XDA.

Off topic:

Seems to be a lot of love for this phone. I hope for the Kitkat to arrive soon, and ill try to see if i can get color OS booted up...

Update Version : AV052_RV16RC00_AV0K0_RV01RC17

JellyBean to KitKat

FileSize : 620,95MB

URL : http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Application/OTA/635464579241492804_OTA_Acer_1.0_AV052_A.zip

Should be the official OTA for "Real" :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trikomlabs:
should I extract and use only fix-pack-B ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Great! Thanks!

Could you give me all new version numbers etc again (Kernel, Radio, APN)? Edit: See TS/FP!

This is the update for JB>KK, without factory reset? Edit: YES

And does Google Authenticator work? Edit: YES

SD Card is locked (some Apps have problems), will Link2SD and all other Apps function!?

Why would they put this online but not yet release it (which they would sept 15th)?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paugustin:
It's probably still in latest testing stage. Acer uses their OTA server to distribute final stage build to test devices.

I've flashed it juste fine, so wipe, nothing is lost and the device booted just fine. So yes it is a JB > KK update. I don't know about google auth because I don't use it and I haven't looked at the SD card lock either.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paugustin:
Yes that's correct just extract and flash FixPack-B.zip
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
I updated , Google Auth is working fine
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kissman21:
which languages are included in this version? I need Czech...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paugustin:
It's EMEA_GEN1 so it doesn't have Czech.

Just a query please,I just tried to back up my stock jb rom on cwm 6.0.5.0 and got red triangle android,do I have to use an earlier version cwm for jb and the latest cwm for KitKat and swap between the two if I want to go back to jb,this is what I had to do on my last phone(huawei),thx in advance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
So after testing a bit with AV052_RV16RC00_AV0K0_RV01RC17

- Authenticator working fine for me

- No SD card locking issue so far

- Rooting working fine as well

- No CPU issue I can see with Acer update service

I updated from JB without wiping and everything was kept including all SMSes

I did however encounter a stupid issue in my case. I was unable to disable the "lock screen sounds" (unlocking.ogg and locking.ogg in UI notification sounds). Checking or unchecking the box in the settings did not affect the behavior. So I had to rename the sound files and reboot to disable those sounds.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Adge40:
I had trouble with root but reflashed from recovery no probs,had to do factory reset as ui was a bit iffy and that cured it,having problems with my link2sd as when I link to sd card it tells me to reboot and when I do so it deletes the app so am currently trying to figure it out with exposed,I'm a single sim UK 380

Edit:Warning,attempting to link apps using link2sd on my device is deleting SYSTEM apps and I cannot restore my j b backup as cwm tells me I have an md5 sum mismatch,hmmmm
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Great news about MediaTek MTK again!

They now release all new source codes for Android One devices, and may do so for current devices like ours! Custom ROMs and tweaking would be possible then!!!

About the new RC17:

As I already wondered: Will all apps (inc Link2SD etc) function normally, because of the SD card lock issue?!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nicollivier:
The google authentificator apps does not work on my phone, with the latest updated ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tiliarou:
Great news for the KK update :D

Still not officialy released on OTA servers...

For the SD lock, can't we use the method described here ? : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2617921

Or this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix

I think it's not really a problem if we have root.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shreps:
Best way is to use Xposed + the Kitkat SD unlock module ;) (needs root)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] CustomGames:
I am running a single sim device and it said cant regonize 2nd sim?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
WARNING , Encryption might be broken with AV052_RV16RC00_AV0K0_RV01RC17

It will result in "Encryption Unsuccessful" and cause a forced factory reset.

I tried Encryption after upgrading from JB to KK and it was unsuccessful. Leaving only factory reset as an option (I tried dodging it but without success).At first, I assumed this was probably an issue because I upgraded from JB to KK without wiping.

So I tried resetting the phone and encrypting again. Again unsuccessful and again a factory reset as a result.

It seems encryption simply does not work with the latest KK update.

If anyone else could confirm this ?

I think the easiest way is by using a custom LockScreen App (like Go Locker for example)

You will not find an Xposed module for this, because it's a custom UI from Acer.

How to update firmware?

Hello. Sorry for lame question, but I'm new to Acer phones. Personally, I'm using Samsung devices, but it's a bit different world (at least different tools). I'm not an Android developer, my knowledge here is a bit limited (although not totally lame).

I've bought E380 for my wife few months ago. It's working very fine. It has the latest official firmware installed, without any modifications. But yestarday I've bought for her a pedometer, which requires at least JB 4.3. I've noticed, that the pre-release of KK is available. So, I've downloaded a zip from post #253, but.. what then? Is it enough just to use SP Flash Tool?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Adge40:
Flash recovery and root from beggining of thread using sp tool then download zip and extract it then flash fixpack B via recovery, done.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
READ the topic start / first post!

(So get or create Scatter file, get and flash a custom recovery (CWM) with SP, and then get and put the update zip (only pack B in zip) on SD, reboot in CWM and update by zip on SD etc.)

But besides that, just wait a couple of days (we hope) till the official Acer KitKat 4.4.2 update will come through automatically and flawlessly (we HOPE).

Hi all,

I was on Acer_AV052_E380_RV16RC00_EMEA_GEN1 (1.016 with JB 4.2.2) and OTA offered Acer_AV0K0_E380_RV01RC18_EMEA_GEN1 (1.018 with KK 4.4.2) to me. As far as I can see, all is ok. So far, so good :)

Regards,

PS. As it's offered through OTA, it's official, right?!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:

Right now I'm using RC17, and suddenly my speaker can't work!! :'(

If I'm using a earphone, there is a sound but when I unplug it, no sound at all from the speakers :(

Can anyone help me?

Ps. I can't download the RC18. The link is broken? :/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
I don't think the upgrade is location based. I booted my device yesterday morning (had it off the day before) and the OTA was immediately presented (in Nieuwegein, just 35 km from Amsterdam :)). What version (JB or KK) are you on? I have a DUO too btw...

SMS are still there, also no 'unknown artist'. Google Auth working fine, Apps are ok so far - sdcard still there. One thing that surprised me though, and I am not sure how it was before the upgrade, sdcard = sdcard0= external sdcard. sdcard1 = internal sdcard. As I use a 32 GB external sdcard, this is perfect for me (sdcard0 = fully writable, sdcard1 = only for system apps & own appspace)... I'll test around with it, hopefully today (busy with the kids and such)...

Can't test GPS because GPS has always been bad in my device.

My speaker is ok. Try this link (it requires ro.build.date.utc<1411648279 = 2014-09-25 20:31:19 CST, make sure to check your /system/build.prop with es fileexplorer and such):
