a700 unable to auto rotate - Acer Iconia A700 and A510

Has anyone else had the problem where the auto-rotate feature is unavailable? I do not think that I have done anything new on my tablet, but the auto rotate on my notification panel is greyed out and unavailable? Any ideas on how to get this working? What am i missing?I have an eleven hour flight to Beijing today and it would be nice to be able to rotate to read my magazines without zooming. Thanks for the help.

did you checked the lockswitch right of the volume keys?

Boy, do I feel sheepish. Thanks, the lockswitch worked was the problem.
On a separate note, is there a root for the A700? I rooted my phone to download titanium backup (and got rid of the bloatware) wondering if there is a successful root for ICS.

I wouldn't do that if I were you Mate. You may want to wait a little before installing CWM and Rooting.
Just a warning is all.

Camera roll not working

I rooted my phone and downloaded root explorer to be able to delete some of the sony crap that came with my phone. Unfortunantly I believe that I deleted my camera roll files. I have no idea what the file name is or how to get it back. Also I was thinking, is there possibly something else I could download in replace of it as some sort of patch?
Any ideas would be great. Thank you.

Hi,
Be just as easy re flashing your phone and re-rooting.
Next time watch what you delete too.
This does sound like a good idea....

Other than re rooting and back up and restore and all that I would have to do.
After spending over 15 hours to figure out how to root my phone and put 2.1 on it I am a little hesitant to do it again. Although most of it was trial and error, id rather just patch it up if I could.
ideas for this method?

Hi Again,
personally no point trying to re-install your camera if you do not know what you have deleted, follow these steps -
re-flash your phone using sony update.
root your phone again use this- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906248
Then install your custom rom if you are doing so.
Just to add download titanium backup from the market and also install xrecovery the link is here, once xrecovery is working and you have your phone working how you want use xrecovery to back up your phone then any future problems you will just have restore using xrecovery again-good luck.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
Please always have a backup it will save you endless hours of frustration.
All system apps can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826849
The Camera Roll depends upon MediaScape being installed. So if you deleted that crap, then the Camera Roll won't work.

It is very new. Not many own it yet, but I do It is fully rootable using Razorclaw, provided you update to the latest current firmware (USA 16GB model..can't speak for the rest). Afterward, I used the recoveryinstaller.apk and installed Clockwork, made a backup, and now awaiting a custom rom.

Thanks,,,,, that's what I did when I got it..........installed all the updates. I have a white 16gb US version slider bought from newegg.com. I basically just got it a week or so ago & I really like it but the rooting (or not being able to rather) was depressing me cuz I finally found a tablet I liked, this one (Asus Slider) of course.
I just want the basic rooting to use custom fonts & a few other apps that require a rooted device. My google account automatically installed Superuser & stuff from my account. Should I uninstall that till I root it?
Do I need to use Razorclaw while plugged into my pc? I use WinXP Pro.
Thanks for everyone's help!

This is the best part. With Razorclaw, you do not need a computer at all. Just pur the APK on the microSD card, enable to install unknown sources (in settings) and install it. Next, run it and click to root. Easy as pie. Does not matter if you install or uninstall SU, as Razorclaw installs it for you when launched.
And I agree, the Slider is the best tab on the market in my honest opinion. It's essentially a better built Transformer (no offense to the Transformer fans!)

I need root too! I wonder if any of the ics exploits will work with this?!
I hope someone does something with this tablet. Would be great. My kids just got one but it don't seem like you can do much.
Barely any apps, any sites I try to go to its blocked. My daughter doesn't want it anymore because you can't even use Facebook

Yeah i bought one for my son and i cant even get it to go to the lexibooks app store. I wonder if we could find out the chipset and port a stock nexus7 rom to it or something. Maybe even create our own update.zip
Poop splash gives you AIDS... and an iPhone
I've had a go at compiling aosp before... I'd love to give this a try.
I've been looking for exploits so we can have root.. but there's no point without first having a working clockworkmod recovery. Because u couldn't backup or flash another ROM without it.
If we knew what chipset it was based on.. it would give us somewhere to start. Also some source code would be nice.
I'd be happy to do some builds and test.. but I would need to know I have a backup I can flash if all goes wrong.

Hi,
I did this and the screen shows an android laying down with the cover ("hood") open and an exclamation mark inside a red triangle. What does this mean? Can I do a factory restore? Please help, I got me one of these at a flea market with the plan to give it to my daughter and now it's useless, but she saw it and is all excited about having her own tablet and I'm going to have to buy a new one if I cannot make this one work. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I had same problem and asked the customer service.
Here is the reply from them.
Please find the steps to unlock the tablet:
Select the settings icon in the corner of your tablet.
It will ask you for your password, leave it blank and the keyboard comes up.
On the bottom of the screen there is a small icon of a keyboard, press on it and then you will press on "set up and input" the settings comes up, press on "back up and reset" then "factory reset" then "tablet reset".
The tablet will be reset in 3 to 5 min, let it restart then put a new password.
Please be aware that if you do a factory reset, the tablet program will be restored but all your datas and applications may be erased except the applications installed by default on the tablet.
Did anyone get theirs rooted at all? If so, could someone help me out? I was trying to put CWM on mine and it seems to be bricked. I can get into flash mode, but have image to flash. So if anyone is rooted, hopefully we can use DD to dump the stock image.
Thanks
If anyone is still interested in this thread, I just acquired a little MFC270EN and successfully rooted it with KingoRoot. I was able to remove all the little games and annoying bloatware. I haven't tried flashing another version of Android onto it, but it's working fine and I'm using Google Chrome (I removed the Lexibook browser with all its "safety" lol), checking my Facebook and I just installed Link2SD to give it some more space.

Use an app like Titanium Backup, switch to "System" apps via the filter, then press the specific app. Or use a file explorer, grant it root access, then navigate to /System and rename the file to "sdm 1.0.bak" or delete it.
Thank you guys, Got it frozen
Is there a way to do it without a rooted phone? Titantium backup apparently needs root. This stupid update is so annoying. I plan to root my phone in the future so I dont want the update but I dont have time to figure out how to root it right now.

No and if there were a way to do this non-rooted, that would be a very questionable security flaw.
Edit: Use Saferoot to gain root access on VRUCML1, when you find time. Links and info in our TW 4.3 Sticky.

Am I correct in assuming simply freezing SDM will stop OTA's? I thought there was one other thing that had to be frozen.

Freezing SDM was all I needed to do on my S3 to stop the update nags. Others have mentioned another file "FWUpdate", but I could not find it on my S3. I would just try freezing SDM 1.0 and see if that does it, if not, then look for the other file.

[Q] Nood Question - Root Explorer + Titanium Backup

Dears,
I'm having a problem in which I don't know how to solve, I tried searching before opening this thread, I found many who have similar problems but I can't do what they do to solve it, I'll explain why.
Problem: I have a ColorOS OnePlus/64GB - the seller had mentioned that he flashed the latest update of CM11 into the phone. I received the phone and it works perfect, can not love it more. However, I noticed that these apps (Root Explorer + Titanium Backup) are installed, I downloaded "Root Checker" to see weather my phone is rooted or not, and it tells me that my phone is NOT rooted. The problem now is how do I uninstall these apps? it seems they are "system apps", so they can not be uninstalled from Settings>Apps.
In all the other threads, topics, the answer would include (a rooted phone) to get rid of these apps, any solution? as I have no clue in Android developing, please bear with me.
Regards,
You cant delete sistem files/apks without root.
You cannot uninstall system apps without root. You will have to unlock your bootloader and then obtain root in order to remove these apps.

Would it be possible to just flash another stock ROM that doesnt come with these apps ?
At the end of day you'll need root. Just remove it using titanium back up, it's easy to do and I doubt there's a stock rom that just removes those apps and that's it. If you're looking for a custom rom, Mahdi is the best in my opinion.

I would love to root and do all these kind of stuff but I have no experience in do so, I'll try following the steps and hopefully don't ruin my phone .. . one final question (would disabling and hiding those two apps affect anything? as long as I don't see them I'm happy)
