Hi All,
I recently got the acer A510 overall i am happy with it except i have a few problems and wanted to know if anyone else is having the same.
I noticed a fair few apps are unstable. The store shows the apps are compatable etc but they crash a fair bit.
While i am not too fussed by it 1 does really annoy me.
It happens in both the built in web browser and on chrome.
Basically i can be on 1 tab and go back to another tab, but then it can't remember and starts to reload the tab (this is all in a matter of minutes)
Then after doing this a few times it stops loading. if i exit out and go back in all i get is a messed up black screen with bits of the app showing.
I have to reboot to resolve.
I have tried factory resetting and it's the same issue, all i did was sign up gmail and only download chrome. They both do the same thing.
Any comments on being a common issue or what i should try would be great.
Other than that the tab runs great plays movies great and is smooth very smooth.
I have the AUS version updated and theres only the 1 firmware. BTW acer are pretty useless in tech support area lol
Hi malos1984,
I have also issues with Chrome. Sometimes Chrome just freezes from time to time and the tab reboots. More often the page gets white and blinks (seems it tries to refresh but i gets white again). In this case I am able the restart Chrome.
It was so annoying – so now I am using Dolphin and I am quite happy. No freeze no reboots. Everything works fine.
It seems that more people have the same issue with Chrome on the A510. At least if you go through some of the play store comments…
Perhaps there will be a fix coming. Not sure if this needs to be fixed on the Acer side or on the Chrome side.
Cheers,
Elendiir
I tried Chrome, didn't like it and just switched back to stock. That browser has all my needs in it.
But I totally agree with the OP, Acer doesn't have the sharpest tech support. lol.

Lol no they do not they don't even have an email contact here in aus pretty bad for a tech company.
Back on topic.
The strange thing is the default one is buggy too very similar issue.
On top of that embedded YouTube videos on sites and forums show the videos overlapping each other in the top left hand of page in both orientations and a black box where they should be displaying on the page.
I hope we get 4.0.4 and jelly bean later on as a update.
Another question I had is why doesn't shadow gun work I stupidly paid for it but its delayed in responsiveness.
I.e. i press a menu button and about a minute later the menu opens, then in game I tell it to do something and it takes about 3 secs to do that.

Ya I hope we get JB soon. I could use with the tab being a little slicker. Overall things are very smooth compared to HC but pale in comparison to the iPad.
Btw, SHadowgun on the A510 sucks. See a threa here in Madfinger's forum. Lotsa people facing it yet they're not gonna do anything about it. That sucks! Link: http://www.madfingergames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=525
hmm
I agree with the stock browser stability.. It seems to refresh whenever I change tab n back to the previous tab.. and sometimes when I am multi tasking, switching back to browser gives me a white blank page. I have to scroll back to the top then the page shows back.. WEIRD.

I faced the same issue on my tab playing shadowgun. however, after switching from 1.044 to 1.073, the problem have disappeared, but now I'm facing with problem of screen responsiveness while putting it on a table. they said its grounding issue and can be fixed from the settings, which have to be done every restart.(which I did not face it on 1.044).

Ok, I'm a noob at this but what's 1.044 and 1.073? I'm unrooted btw. Anyways, yeah the tab has got pretty bad responsiveness all around and you're right, when you put it on a table (flat surface) its totally unusable. Why is this so?
Chrome Problem

I do have problems with Chrome on the A510....I will probably try dolphin to see how it goes.. I hope acer releases an update soon cause I hate having that bloatware, including the AcerNidus app, which is supposed to collect information about bugs....well what for if they don't release updates to fix them?

If you go to about tablet, you should see a "software version" field. 1.073 is the latest.
I actually have my tablet sent back to warranty service since the gyroscope is miscalibrated. I'm supposed to get it back after a week.
As for the non-responsiveness, it is a bug that was introduced in the latest firmware updated. To fix it, you'll need to go to display >> screen responsiveness >> toggle it to low/medium, then high again. You need to do this right after every restart.
Hello,I have my Vernee Thor for a couple of months and since day one I have issues with some apps(Viber,facebook messenger,Instagram,Duolingo).
These apps(and more) lag a lot on my device(some to an extend that they are complete unusable. Viber lags A LOT and it takes about a minute to show a screen and then 20seconds to go in each conversation. It is kind of random but most of the times it is the same problem. Duolingo is the same story. Messenger takes hours to send and take messages and it also lags but less. Lastly Instagram lags that is far less, it lags for the first half minute and the it is OK. I don't think it is a ram issue because it has 3gb of the stuff. A weird think about the phone that my be the fault is that it came already set up, it put me right to the home screen. I don't know if I should format it or even change rom. Any idea would be helpful.Thanks
Hello everybody! My phone (SM N915F) has a problem of stuttering/lag spike. Every 7 to 15 seconds phone gets stuck for about 1 second. When using an app (say, camera) every 4-6 seconds I get a lag spike. I tried to solve this myself, I checked if this is a software problem (changed rom, 3 different roms), tried in recovery if it lags (it does not), tried other apps etc. I checked logcat to see what happens when phone gets stuck, I saw a service(?) choreographer says "choreographer skipped N frames", which as I searched on internet, choreographer syncs apps with display, so actually screen does not gets rendered for N frames for no reason. Did anybody ever had this issue? I have assured there is no storage problem.
Any one else seing a major performance drop after the update? Almost every app now loads 3 times as slow if it doesnt crash out and have to force close. Youtube videos get verry laggy and hang sometimes for 10 to 20 seconds before the app plays catchup and throws all frames in from time it got stuck to current play time in the video. Also screen off gps is nonexistent. I use geofencing in smartthings and it worked flawlessly before. Also smartthings app notifications will not show up until the screen is on. Ive set it to ignore data and battery with no luck. I have wiped the phone in fastboot and reapplied the update in uppercut. Still the same issues. Surely I'm not the only one. Maybe I'm the only one still hanging in to this phone these days. ?
Nope, quite the opposite, the phone feels noticeably faster and smoother after the update.
edit: Nvm, I'm not on T-Mobile.
Anybody have noticed stuttering when scrolling a lot of time on Facebook, Instagram etc.??? Samsung galaxy note 20 ultra (exynos).
Is it stuttering because contents loading or does it stutter after? Like you scroll down and it stutters, scroll up again to the top. Then scroll down, does it stutter again?
Hm, just now noticed that stuttering goes away in applications, maybe a little bit still persist, but in Samsung browser it's more and not belong from loading of content.
