A700 OTA update

A few days ago i mailed some questions to acer about issues we discuss at XDA and in a german board. Especially about heating and some lags.
Today i got an answer. Acer is thankfull for the user comunities feedback. They are working currently on an update to give "better user experience to the Acer A700 Iconia Tab owners" (whatever it means ). They announced the FOTA update for the end of july.
They didn't mention the coming version - but i don't believe, that it could be jellybean. But it is ok, when they get some essential issues fixed!
Regards!

Great news, I saw that another user here posted a reply on some topic with the same information.
I returned my overheating tablet and got another one. This one doesn't get that hot, so I think it's rather a hardware issue than a software... But hey, who knows? xd

Thanks for sharing. The a700 is a good tablet to use on a daily basis, but I definitely believe that with a good software update it could even become a great tablet.

Thankyou for the welcome news.
I have to say, I enjoy mine very much - especially for video. It has a few little niggles that I'd like worked out though, so hopefully the FOTA has a few goodies in it for us!

Yes, the individual variations may be just what makes one tablet usable and another not, as it seems that most of us can routinely get the CPU/GPU up to 80-85 deg C in normal use, which is only a few degrees below shutdown temperature. And, for example better heat sinks may help a lot. But still, I think software tweaks reducing the heat generating workload, for example running non-essential processes with lower priority and forcing CPU frequency down sooner when CPU/GPU heats up could help for better utilization.

Finally the update has arrived.
Image-Version: Acer_AV043_A700_RV07RC06_EMAE_DE
Build-Number : Acer_AV043_A700_1.027.00_EMEA_DE
In a german android forum users have different experiences with the update, good and bad ones. I just installed my update, so i can't say anything about it.
First post greetings to everyone :highfive:

Received the small update, 5MB in size. It does lock the bootloader again.
No apparent changes and the improved responsiveness of the tablet is imaginary I am sure.

330MB update on US...
Brought back some lag issues I thought I was over after tweaking around a bit...Kinda ticked off that it got slower after the update. On the bright side, I've no longer got a weird polygon-jumping screen thing going on. Not noticed much else by way of changes or fixes.

What tweaks?
What tweaks did you do to reduce lag?

I don't know about you guys but my tab actually feels a lot more responsive now. Gaming in particular I'm noticing seemingly better frame rates. I had already disabled many apps to speed up the tab before. I haven't gone through extensive testing but I will say it still gets just as hot as before except that it now runs faster/better.

Received a new update today.
AV043_A700_1.0055.00_EMEA_DE
Sice: ~40 mb
It adds 2 new power option to the settings. They are called balanced and performance. With Balanced the performance seems to be like before. With the second option the device runs better and smoother then before. But I have noticed more heat on the right side. Maybe acer just pumped up the standard clock speed or something I don't know. Before the update I almost had no heating problem now it seems to be stronger. I will test the other powersetti maybe the device gets less heated.

In both places in Settings where you are able to change the font size, I set to "normal," disabled the ring, and deleted all the Acer bloat programs and Kindle and Zinio. Installed Apex Launcher, and it actually worked pretty fast. This update borked all that. Settings are all the same, but it is running slow again.
I'm looking forward to custom ROMs...Acer kinda failed on this update.

I don't see these power options in my settings. Is this something in the German version but not the US version?

Well what's your version? I just got this update yesterday and it was the second one this week. At first I had 01.0027.00_EMEA_DE which didn't change to much. I.e it didn't had the 2 new power settings. Maybe you will get it later.

Well, i got the first 5Mb update a couple of days ago and today there is anotherone for germany online ..
.. the first one upgraded from image rv07rc03 / buildNr 1.023.00 to image rv07rc06 / buildNr 1.027.00 and it was 'only' 5Mb large. The new update is image rv23rc02 and about 40Mb large and should correct some issues with the sensors, apk-crushes, adds more languages and some energy options ..
.. i will install it later today and report back if there's something realy worthy about it
:laugh:
Added also a screenshot from the update notification

I am now at build number AV043_A700_1.029.00_PA_CUS1.
Not sure if that helps with answering the question since the build numbers are different.

Well that's explains why you don't got the power settings. It's not yet implemented in your build. Just wait for another update with a higher number and you will get it too.

[Q] 4.4.2 Update on Nexus 5?

Hey, Whats up XDA!!
I just purchased the N5 last night (left IOS :good and immediately got the OTA update for 4.4.2... Ive read that the update is veerrryy iffy because of battery issues causing it do draining extremely fast. Some say they do not have any issues with the battery and some claim they do. I was wondering what are your thoughts and if you would recommend updating to 4.4.2??

No issues.

Update, as it has newer fixes. For example camera shutter lag. There isn't any battery drain difference from 4.4.1
Sent from my Nexus F...Fi...Fii...Ahem...*clears throat*... Five.

My battery life has been awesome. The only phone I've ever owned that has better battery life is my Moto X. Battery aside, 4.4.2 brought some welcome bug fixes. Definitely update.

Just so you know, almost every software update will result in some folks running into issues. It may have nothing to do with the update, but may be because of an incompatible app, or some settings they have are using, or because something is out of date, or because Jupiter and Mars aren't lined up with the moon from that user's home location.
You will see many posts about issues, because everybody feels that their issue is unique. But for every person who posts about an issue, there are going to be several others for whom the update went just fine, and they didn't want to post "all is well"
If there are any major issues with the update, you can bet that you will hear about it on most of the major blogs, and you will find a thread over on xda with hundred or more posts of people complaining about the same issue. If you don't see that happen in the first few days of the OS release, it is usually safe to update

That makes sense! Lol so for the update is great... Took the phone off the charger at 7am and I am at 64% now after heavy usage. Loving the phone, OS, and everything about the experience.

[Q] Mi4i major performance and heating issues.

Could someone please help me with performance issues on xiaomi mi 4i?
I keep every electronic device in my surroundings well- tuned but this device of mine
hardly gives 34000 score on 64bitantutu benchmark in performance mode, not only poor in
benchmarks but certain games like asphalt 8 even lag like **** on medium settings when on performance mode. Is this a make issue? Should I return this phone to flipkart? Any suggestions? I have maximally optimised this phone especially for running heavy games and that was the sole purpose to purchase it.
I am new to xda developers, and this is my first thread.

I get about 3.9k score on antutu and saw a post here abt someone getting the same score I haven't played that game but its a very high end game I would expect a few lags coz this is not a high end phone also wait for a few updates the recent updates have made the phone laggy for everyone they might fix that

Which miui version are you currently on man?
Also, I got hardly 10gb internal storage free once freshly unboxed the phone.
And there are major stutters on medium settings playing in performance mode itself!!! I have seen people play it on high with ease on this phone.

The latest 6.5.6 ( the most laggy update lol)
Sent from my Mi 4i using Tapatalk

I seem to have the issue slightly fixed! This somewhat works for me.
I turned all the animation scales in developer options to 0.5x.
This phone doesn't seem to heat much now in daily usage.
Major stutters seemed to decrease in asphalt 8.
Idk but I am not able to change memory optimization setting in developer options. (It remains on medium anyhow.).

Any other suggestions?

I suppose you confused the mi4 with the mi4i! You have sent the link to the mi4 developer rom. Anyway, I have tried the mi 4i developer ROM and I am now getting 39k on Antutu!!!
Thanks for the suggestion man, no hint of lag at all!!! Also, the device doesn't heat beyond 39°!!!

The Mi4i Still Has Heating Issue With The Developer Version.

Guys update to new version. It you haven't received the OTA, check out this link here. This update is really good. Major changes
http://en.miui.com/thread-129452-1-1.html

I installed 6.6.1.0 by not having tried the previous version, cuz my phone is new. And I'm SHOCKED about the performance of the device! Had a Galaxy S4 i9506 with Snapdragon 800 before which was running WAY more fluid?! Could it really be, that the 615 is THAT much slower and less snappy? Or is this all about the not-so-well-built MIUI6 on this device? I REALLY hoped the MI4I would be a good replacement...

should i update my OnePlus 6 from Oreo to Pie??

Oreo or Pie.
Is there any battery, camera, performance, UI, issues on pie??

No such issues... Go for it... Even i had this hesitation but then things went well...

No bug as it is which affects your daily usage... And battery draining you experience after upgrading but once adaptive battery understands your usage it will improve over time... Need Atleast a week to settle down the things. Its your choice, if you want go ahead and sure you like it...

My OP6 on 9.0.2 does have temperamental battery life (sometimes it is ok and sometimes it drains quickly)
I heard 9.0.3 fixes this but I have yet to receive the OTA

I am on oos 9.0.3. works like a charm. No issues at all for me. Btw i did not face any issues with 9.0.2 either.

Everything looks ok and smooth,go for it!!!

I like Pie more than the Oreo rom. I'd upgrade if I were you. The only reason you shouldn't is if you use an app that works on Oreo but not on Pie.

Miui-v10.3.4.0.pdgmixm global stable

There is a new version avaiable.
The changelog does not tell much more than a new security patch (June 2019).
Maybe we can find some little goodies anyway.

dont know for little goodies but camera in night mode is still broken (still ****y noise on picture using night mode), i dont know why they even calling that **** "night mode" when it is useless, i know lot of guys say use gcam, im using but still that doesn't means xiaomi doesnt need to fix that.
last 2 updates this issue is present...im really starting to hate xiaomi bcs of software support.
It looks like xiaomi devs working only on pocophone and still can't fix anything on poco also

For me the touchscreen feels much more responsive on this version. I've had lots of touch issues with each room on this phone. But this version seems to have improved a lot!

In my daily use (18 h = 16 wi-fi and 2 4G), my SOT it's between 5 - 5,5 h.
10.3.4.0 feels more smoother and brightness sensor is less lazy.

Is anyone having any weak signal issues with this rom ? I went from RessurectionRemix to this via MiFlash and I get very weak or no signal in places where i had good signal previously.
No root and i don't want to root as the online banking applications i have to use complain about the phone being rooted

Yes, it's my feeling that signal is weeker than on previous ver

Which version worked best for you, signal wise? I saw people were having problems with 10.2.2.0 and i'd downgrade to something with better signal. Would that mean prior to 10.2.2.0 or is there something more recent that works ok?

I was only using 10.3.3.0
