Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update - Acer Iconia A700 and A510

Hello, I am buying this tablet in two months, but until then I will lurk this section, anyway down to the point: http://www.androidauthority.com/acer-tablets-iconia-tab-jelly-bean-update-details-103747/ and http://www.tabletguide.nl/24003/acer-gaat-tablets-updaten-naar-android-4-1/?ystfuv
Apparently tabletguide talked to Acer Officials on the phone and Acer confirmed several newer tablets will receive the update, I'm guessing A510, A700, and such
Anyway lets hope its true!

This morning a french website advertised that A200, A510 and A700 were getting JB updates today ! We'll see if it's true...

I won't believe it until I see it!

That would be awesome! Any links? I can't find the source.

http://www.tabletguide.nl/24003/acer-gaat-tablets-updaten-naar-android-4-1/ they asked Acer and Acer answered, that a JB Update is planned. But they did not announce a concrete time for this update. Some german sites will rumor about Acers JB update too... So i'm nearly sure: JB is coming - hopefully soon.
another source http://tablet-news.com/2012/07/28/acer-confirms-jelly-bean-updates-coming-for-some-of-their-models/

Would be awesome if they release it soon, Development may get more popular for this device.

No doubt that JB is going to be released any time soon.
What I find hard to believe is that this is happening today!!
I would be more than happy should I be proven wrong...

With all due respect. I really hope you're wrong.

Unfortunately not.

Actually we have JB since yesterday for the A700 thus the french website wasn't that wrong but in an unexpected way . Check out pawitps thread for his unofficial CM10: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806980. Sure, it's an alpha but it's a start :fingers-crossed:.

Actually I don't care much about JB.
Not that I would not like to see it running on my tablet, but at the moment I am so fed up with my tablet that I would be happy even if it was running on Cupcake but without those annoying touch screen issues...

Well we have evidence that Acer is currently working on JB for the A700. Early builds can be seen on GLBenchmark
Acer_AV051_A700_0.000.14_WW_GEN1
Acer_AV051_A700_0.005.00_WW_GEN1
acer/a700_ww_gen1/picasso_mf:4.1.1/JRO03H/1343153291:userdebug/test-keys
acer/a700_ww_gen1/picasso_mf:4.1.1/JRO03H/1343405184:user/release-keys
Those are very early builds but at least we know development has started !

Ah, that's sweet. But I would prefer CM10 because then I can have the same system on my Acer A700 and my Motorola Defy. I hope Acer will make a better job on JB than on ICS (for those who want to stick with stock rom's).

I can tell you that JB will be amazing on this tablet.
I'm running that Alpha and its a big difference in response from ICS especially with scrolling...
I personally cannot wait.

What about the touch screen?
Is it responsive the way it is supposed to be?

I've never had a problem with touch response on this tablet so I cannot comment on that aspect.

Do you have touchscreen issues even after toggling the screen sensitivity? If yes, I think you should have the tablet replaced.
I used to have screen sensitivity issues in my tab (it had a screen protector on though), but it would go away after toggling that setting.
I'm now in a new replacement tab (without a screen protector yet), and I don't have touch screen issues. (Will install a capdase screen protector this weekend, will report if it changes screen responsiveness.)

Anyone know if JB will be available if the tablet is rooted or if it can be easily unrooted, updated and re-rooted?
Or is it just too early to tell yet?

I'm on my second a510, the first one had a terrible touchscreen with dead spots all over the place and just generally sketchy performance. I took it back to FutureShop for a replacement the next day and it's literally night and day. Zero problems. Go get a yours replaced, you won't believe it's the same tablet.

Well, as a matter of fact my tablet has been replaced in two distinct sessions!
I sent it back to Acer for fixing the touch screen issues and they replaced both the LCD and the Touch Panel. Unfortunately the problem was still there, so I resolved to send it back for assistance one more time. This time they replaced the motherboard but as you may easily guess the touch screen is still cra.. ehm.. not working properly.
I am eagerly waiting for an update to my 1.073_WW_GEN1 Rom. If the firmware update does not solve the issue at all, I am calling Acer again for a full replacement.

"shortly"? Meaning this week, this month, this quarter?
Seriously though, thanks for the update Gary.
great to hear. good to see asus is on top of things
Excellent!
Nice to know. Thanks. what camera issues were reported?
I don't use the camera, have noticed no WiFi issues. Keyboard might act up once in a while.... Guess I'm anxious to see what the update brings. And breaks. : ) Thanks.
Very nice. Thanks Asus!
Hopefully the screen flicker issue is addressed as well.
what about the encryption issues? are those fixed? i don't want to spend another whole weekend due to faulty firmware upgrades..
thx
excellent! my wifi corrupt on standby.
Thanks for sharing this info.
Looking forward to it. Any idea when?
Cheers:good:
Thanks for the update! I hope this fixes more than just the issues mentioned..... there were a lot of issues with the last update.
Android 4.1.2 is also starting roll out to certain devices.
Cool!
The keyboard was driving me a little nutz.
I don't use the camera...well I do use the video cam.
And yes maybe there will a fix for the lines on the screen.
Thanx Asus HQ.

Let's hope they fixed the encryption issue. The keyboard issues may be annoying, but soft-bricking your tablet is much more time consuming. It took me 3 hours to research this bug and doing a complete factory reset. Now I'm waiting for the encryption to finish. (company policy...)
Hope this fixes the JB Alarm and random reboots/freezes as well
I experienced the camera issue today when i tried skypeing someone. I'm glad that Asus is releasing a fix and am hopeful it includes a solution to the random sluggishness I experience.
Edit: And no sooner than I type this, random reboot.
I just want the black line that flickers down the screen fixed. Happens a lot in the nook app. Especially annoying while reading.

Would like a custom rom more than rooting but rooting would be good too Something to clear up the programs and stuff to make the most of the 1.5ghz dual core.

Hi,
I have a zoostorm 3305 that I want to get an external 3g dongle working on. After googling I believe i need to root it first, but I'm new to rooting, and not sure what software/drivers i need and where to get them. I would love some help if you have any on offer.
Cheers
Andychat..
how good are these ?
speed in general
Speed of keyboard popping up when in chrome ?
viewing angles (I totally hate poor viewing angles)
updates
I am more than happy with the speed. Keyboard delay pop-up can sometimes be slow.(its usually when emails are being synced). I improved the touchscreen response by using an app to recalibrate it. I think its hindered by the supplied screen protector.
The only thing I can't do is mobile 3g internet. I think I need to root.
I'm. Awaiting I bit of help from the guru's on this forum.

I don't think they are bad. I don't really watch TV or movies on it. It doesn't seem any worse than my Samsung so phone.
Not sure if this helps you much. I would recommend one if you don't have the finances for the Samsung Tablets or the ipads.

sounds good
I did have the Gemini JoyTab 9.7 Duo
I RMA'd it cause as soon as you tilted it slightly right the whole right side washed out
it was so bad that even flat direct ahead you could see the start of the right side polarize wash out with what must be only a few degrees off centre
fine all 3 others ways, I though mine my have been faulty till I went in to a staples and checked their display model, exact same issue.

I sent you a PM via YouTube (Sorry), couldn't post on here for some reason but sorted now.
I have never rooted Android (very new to it) and can't find anything solid about rooting Zoostorm Playtab 10" Tablet. I really don't want to brick it.
I was wondering if you may be able to help me as it sounds like you have rooted the Playtab successfully?
Do you have any links to or name of the guide / firmware you used for the root?
Has the root improved the overall performance of you Zoostorm Playtab as mine can often freeze or delay mid use with the stock firmware?
Cheers mate.

I'm new to Tablets so not sure how useful this can be because i havn't used many others but...
speed in general is quite good however it seemed to run faster when it was new and "fresh" but now having since installed more apps, it seems to temporarily freeze mid-use e.g. going through settings tabs, launching apps etc. I often get a "not responding" message and choice to wait or quit. Waiting seems to work but as this is happening more and more, it's a concern and hence why i'm looking to root.
There is sometimes a 1 or 2 sec delay with keyboard popping up (not sure in Chrome, i'm talking general use). Its not a problem for me.
Viewing angles are reasonable to me but you can see it wash out when looking from the sides but I tend to look at it straight on anyway.
To be honest you get what you pay for (currently £114-£120 on Amazon UK / eBuyer) and it's not bad at all, especially if I can figure this freeze issue.
Hope this helps.

Not sure if you sorted it but these tablets are pretty unbrickable as are most RK3066 based tablets, I've done more wipes & reflashes on this tablet than I care to remember.
You can try to flash the original ROM from here - http://downloads.zoostorm.com/drivers/android/PlayTab/
I did manage to flash a build of CyanogenMod 10 based on another RK3066 tablet on this tablet but it wasn't really what you would call stable, it had screen rotation bugs, random reboots plus Wifi wasn't working at all & as I'm not a developer I soon reverted back to stock, for the most part the tablet runs pretty well with it's stock ROM, 3G works well with the PPP Widget app etc.
It was either this one - http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/39750-romgenerickmod-jb41cwmzip-for-pipo-u1max-m11/
Or this one - http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/41777-romcyanogen-10-for-rk3066-wip/
I'm just glad it has a working CWM Recovery & is easy to root

I'm really digging mine too. Most times when opening Dolphin browser or other browsers it will hang for 5-8 secs sometimes. You guys get that? only think that pees me off really.
If we could get it a tad snappier, would be great too!
How do I get flash on this thing?
I've also got the freezing issue occasionally, not sure what causes that.
My main issue at the moment is I can't use "OpenVPN for Android". It claims it can't access /dev/tun so it doesn't work (ticking the box to fix this in CM doesn't work as it's not rooted). Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Freezing is caused by software trying to access root imho. Avoid software that needs root access.

Have you made sure the router is facing the direction that your devices are located? firmware update the router? even though other devices may work fine they could have much bigger antennas that compensate better.. does it happen anywhere else?

The direction cannot have anything to do with it. Routers transmit in a bubble 360 degrees around themselves, although some spots may have less signal the tablet has never dropped below 4 bars when the issue has happened and it can connect at the full 150mb most of the time. I have a very high quality router that has no issues with range/transmit power/direction and has the latest firmware update available to it. It will even work outside the house to some distance. The issue with the wireless dropping but not appearing happens at different times and at different locations in my house - even when a metre in front of the router. I've tried changing the channel of the router and going through the settings to see if I can find a reason for it not working. I have not had this issue with any of the other wiireless devices I have including several that also have run android 4.3. I'm using WPA2, but I refuse to turn this off. It has been around much longer than android and should not be the source of the issue. Turning the wifi off and on again on the tablet fixes the issue, it's not the router. The issue to has been documented with this tablet on a few different locations around the net so I'm not along.

[Q] Shield tablet falls asleep

I'm a new user of the Nvidia Shield Tablet (32gb+LTE. Baseband e1729.4.05_0.6.4 @815584, kernel 3.10.33-gf9fe8be)
I have made all the upgrade/fix available via OTA and now I have Lollipop 5.01.
I'm experiencing strange and very annoying slow down (and occasionally blocks), expecially when the tablet wake after a standby.
Applications open very slowly, games are slowed (even simple ones like Clash of Clans) and the interface is poorly responsive.
I bought this tablet to have one of the faster available but I'm not having the user experience I sought.
Do you have some suggestions?
I'm also thinking of reinstalling from scratch the last rom available but I don't know how to do this and where to download it.
(In this case is there a way to reinstall all apps and customizations from a backup )

You should post this on Nvidia´s forum mate.
I have a few slowdowns on my tablet as well but I´m pretty sure that´s Lollipop related.
Hoping Android 5.1 solves this bad experience most of us are having.

I'm on my second shield tablet and both are just like you experienced. Especially if chrome or FB is not force closed first. Chrome is the biggest app that freezes for me. Sometimes it gets so bad I have to hard reboot the tablet.

I haven't had any of these issues except the one with chrome since upgrade 2.2. I uninstalled facebook, that app is a piece of crap on all android devices.

Do you have the same mine version? (hw/sw?)
Sounds like your issue is based on some of the memory leak issues in Lollipop that will hopefully be fixed with 5.1. It's not only a shield issue, it happens on my HTCone GPE also. With the list of bug fixes within 5.1 i can imagine and hope this will get fixed after update.

Probably I'm going to return it ...
It doesn't have the performance that I expected ... unless it is broken!

Wanted to get a Survery: Multitouch on Google Pixel 4A

Alright, so currently im dealing with some Multitouch issues on my Pixel 4a. The repair place i went to UBREAKIFIX said they'll have to do the whole repair they did preciously again and charge me (because of 2 small dents at the side of the screen). Would not recommend. I wanted to get a poll of everyone with this exact issue Here is some steps to test:
1. Enable Developer Options (Go into build number click however many times and get developers options
2. Go to Developer Options in System settings,
3. Scroll down to Input and enable "Show taps" and "Pointer Location.
4. Put two fingers down and see if multiple pointers are shown (If not, Multi-touch does not work)
Also some other Notes:
Downgrading to Android 10, Makes multitouch work for some reason :/
Also would like to know if you've gotten your phone repaired before.
Any help figuring this whole thing out is appreciated
Can I ask what was the repair they did the first time to fix your touch problem?

Dont know if started happening before or after, but i noticed it recently, and started digging, brought it to the place and they said they wouldnt cover it under warranty because of 2 small dents at the side of screen which have zero relation to the problem at hand

That's sucks, hard to prove if there right or wrong without putting a known good screen on

Also as i noted, for some reason downgrading to andorid 10 has multitouch working. (From flash.android.com)

I honestly cant say if its the hardware or software, maybe it might be a combination of both? I'm not entirely sure, however downgrading to android 10 from googles flash tool does seem to have it work. I had what i would guess is a full screen replacement from UBREAKIFIX, due to shattering the entire screen. Honestly, spending 140 dollars just to see if it might work is not worth it to me, so I'm really not sure what to do.
Even doing it yourself the cheapest I've seen a screen is 110 from AliExpress, which I don't get because I just replaced one on a g7 moto play for 20 bucks off ebay

After looking for a while seems the entire drivers are different in the kernel. But that is my brief look at. If anyone who knows kernel drivers would like to take a look at it. Would be helpful
LineageOS 19.1 - multitouch just stopped working today after several weeks without problems. No repairs or damage.
I'm on stock but rooted. I've been slack so still on October patch. Multi touch working fine. Never had a problem with it.
(Finally updated to December patch and it's still working.)

What fixed it for me was downgrading to android 10 then updating all the way up...

Wonder how this actually fixes the issue. Sounds strange.

I don't know... As far as I know downgrading has the kernel touchscreen driver seemingly working... from there I know little

Multitouch stopped working on my Pixel 4A 5G after updating to android 13.
Maybe a bug caused by an OTA update?

I have LineageOS 19.1 here. So android 12. i'll try that android 10 approach
I can confirm now that downgrading to Official Google Pixel 4a Stock Rom Android 10 fixed the issue. I try to go back to LOS 20 now and see what happens.
PS: Using internal updater to update to Android 13 broke it again. Taking the long route now.
PPS: That chromium based flash tool is really handy. Would be awesome to have something like that for LineageOS.
PPS: As soon as I install anything above Android 10, multitouch stops working. I'll sell this stupid thing as is (will let te buyer know of course). Its a shame.
