Has anyone had problems with the second, Jelly Bean update? The approximately 3.5MB one?
The reason I'm asking is that I recently got an A700 from Amazon and as soon as I installed that update (it was the fourth one that appeared) I lost all touch screen response. I tried a hard reset, but nothing I did restored the response, so I ended up sending the tablet back for a replacement.
I got the new tablet, and installed the first three updates, but have not installed this fourth one.
My question is whether I should keep cancelling the update or install it? After it bricked my first tablet, I am very leery of this update.
Thanks in advance
Dave
I requested a changelog concerning the updates from Acer. I hope I will get a reply soon.
My advice: Just go for it. Updates should be there to fix/add stuff.
I've never had a problem with the updates so far. Though, I'm not sure if I got the lastest one yet.
That's just my advice, so I'd wait until there are more replies concerning the update.
Edit:
The Acer peepz don't understand the English language. It looks like they didn't read my email at all!
My email:
Dear Sir/Madam,
There does not seem to be a changelog about the updates on the internet.
I would like to receive such a list and, if possible, dated to when the update has rolled out.
Thank you in advance.
Yours Sincerely,
Tom

Where does the employee reads that I have a problem with my device?
Edit2:
After sending them another email, or ticket, really, they sent me a reply. They wanted me to look on the website acer.co.uk to check for updates for my product. Well, that was totally not my question. Looks like the employees are responding with automatic replies. Let's try some other email adress.
Edit3:
Acer: We don't have a changelog.
.... Speechless. What a well organised company.

Ok, my PDA2K is running WM5.0 but as you all may know it still has flaws and well I have had it for over a year and think it's time to get a new phone, the only problem is that I have no way of seeing or using any of these WM5.0 devices until I buy it. so I wanted to ask all the users of these devices what they suggest.
Your information would be greatly appreciated.
so you're not able to go down to a store and try before you buy??...is that what you mean??
"other device"
I suggest the Advance TC M.A.G.I.C.

man that is sweet built in gps too, but I wouldn't be suprised if it turned out to be like the Motorola MPx
Actually, I've been in contact with this company, and they confirm a launch. A more exact date can be pinpointed by mid-April. They already have a sole distributor to handle things as well
well then I am going to look to you to let me know when who and if you can how much
I am sure like all new Windows phones it will hit the market at some outrageous amount right....
Do you have any additional info you could pm me??
Thanks
Check your PM box. I PMed you some details on the device. If you have any further questions, just PM me and I can forward to my contact in Advance TC
I've recently got myself the Mio A701 (used to have a JAM).
A nice PPC. Its got GPS builtin which is very useful and is only marginally larger than the JAM was.
Comes with lots of good extras - car screen mount, car charger etc.
And it's no more expensive than things like the JAMin.
I feel I've made a good buy
One downside is that being very new the Mio support website aint got a lot on it yet. But apparantly they are working on some ROM updates.
See it here.
Hi,
I'm looking into buying an Asus P535 phone, but the only place it is available is Hong Kong. However I have been told the phone might not actually have an English OS installed.
I was interested in finding out how easy it would be just to install a new English OS for the phone? Do I have to obtain this from Asus themselves or can I just install a generic phone OS that is English?
Cheers
No such thing as 'generic phone OS'. All windows mobile ROMs (that's what they are called and its a bit of long story why) are specifically tailored for the devices.
I am not sure if there is an English ROM for 535 but there was a discussion on this here so please use the search.
Also check the Asus site.
I have looked around and found a few questions regarding the English ROM but no definative answers. I suppose in itself that could be an answer.
I'm going to get the white version so I'm gonna have to buy from HK anyway, but if theres no English ROM then there is no way I am gonna be able to use it. I cant even find an email address to be able to ask Asus if one is available or when one will be available. If anyone can help me then I would be grateful.
Cheers

I have bought 2 Asus P535 (1 white and 1 Dark Grey) in Singapore.
Both of them is in English. Here's my headache : I cant read chinese sms (it show's squares...)
If you dun require to read chinese or type chinese should not be a problem.
Hope it helps.
Cheers!
I am thinking of getting this phone. But before doing so, I would like to know if there are any developers who would be building ROMS for this phone etc. Since the GM750 will be running on WM6.5, I'm sure there would be developers who would be cooking roms for the GM730 also. And is this phone the same as other windows mobile phones? Meaning able to install ROMS and CAB files etc?
The price is very reasonable compare to other WM phones. And that would make it fun to just buy the phone and play around with cooking ROMS into it.
It is upgradeable to 6.5 from company itself. U can upgrade it from Service Centers.

LG GM730f WM 6.5 update ROM from LG?
I got an email from LG Australia that this is ready for download/update - but have not got it working so far
Search google for "Trying to install lgs wm6.5 update to gm730f" for my post
I'm also having trouble.
Just spoke to LG support who are aware of the problem!
They will apparently post me a disc with the ROM, so i'll let you guys know if that happens!
LG GM730f - Factory Default raw files Dumped
Hi All,
Just in case anyone would like a working copy of the default factory RAW files I have managed to successfully download these using the ItsUtilBin tools.
Would I be correct in thinking that I might then be able to use one of the Kitchen utilities to create this in to a ROM update?
Hopefully I'll get time to contact LG tomorrow - I wonder if they will be kind enough to use FTP? ;-)
Cheers,
Dave

Hi HughJarse (nice handle BTW )
Any ideas who you spoke to? LG are now denying this - I could give you an FTP to post to if you do get a copy?
Cheers,
Dave
****RETRACTION****
Apparently someone in LG Aust does know about the 6.5 update and the latest knews is that someone from LG Technical is supposed to be ringing me this afternoon with details?
I didn't catch the name of the person i spoke to, but I'll certainly be happy to help you if I get a copy of the ROM!

Hi Dave
Did LG get back to you yet, because I'm still waiting!?
No joy as of 30th Jan ;-(
Hi Hugh
So although they did know about the 6.5 upgrade it *appears* that it wasn't *approved* by Telstra - or at least that's what I was told.
They also seemed to understand that their upgrade process wasn't all it could be? Head over to the other thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5480790 and keep an eye on things?
It's well worth downloading the Service Manual for the GM730f LOL
Dave
Hi Dave
Thanks for the heads up and the link
I'd be quite happy to use a custom ROM because I'm getting increasingly frustrated and P**sed off with LG and telstra!

In the meantime I'm trialing some of the SPB Software and it makes it look a whole lot more usable - but I can't wait to get something decent on the phone - OR it's up on ebay and I'll be looking for a Samsung replacement...!!
Stupid question, but what's SPB?!
I spoke to someone from LG yesterday and she was trying to tell me the update comes from microsoft. Sigh.
Theres not much hope when the company that makes the phones has reps answering calls who talk out of their A**e!
I'm beginning to wish i'd done a bit more research before i got this phone

thanks, I'll check it out
Just installed SPB (found it at the site of the little green demon)
looks good, but how do you get it to start every time you turn the phone on?!
forget that, just worked it out!
Has anyone hacked this app to see if it will work on the G tablet or know if an android version will be released?
Thanks
Well, here's an email from their customer service.
Hi,
Thanks for your email and your interest in RedEye. We do not have the Android version developed yet, but we're beginning development for that OS at the start of the new year. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

I have an older RavPower WD03 Wifi router/power bank that has been acting up and so I ordered a new one, when it arrived it had firmware v2.000.020 on it, and my current one has the newer v2.000.024 on it, which I updated to only a couple of months ago. Now I want to update the new device to the new firmware, and it appears that all firmware for the WD03 has been removed from the ravpower webpage for the product. I know I can't be the only person who has used one of these, and I'm hoping to find someone who may still have a copy of the v2.000.024 firmware.
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
