Half a day already on Honeycomb Prime 1.4 : Excellent, whole unit performance has increased obviously. One user commented about Youtube issues - don't have such problems
Is just like having a new pair of clothes - fresh and icons are of better designs
Still testing all my apps - so far looking and acting good
Those thinking of upgrade - use ClockworkMod recovery to backup your whole system before proceed . JUST in case you have problems and you wish to restore back to its original form

It copied OK and I can vlsee the file on my Win 7 PC but when I put it into my Iconia itcannot see the filethat I just copiedeven after a reboot took it out and put into the card reader and the PC can see the file.
Any suggestion.
Jackdon

the easier way to install recover img can use Acer Recovery Installerjust download from market, install > backup current rom image. boot into CWM then update your custom HC3.1..

But I did not do the clear data/factory reset, can I do that in clockworkmod ? Can I also apply the Patch6 before I reboot ?  itching to taste the speed of 1.4GHz... I am now back after a full restore. Hey thanks for the quick reply Sifu  jackdon YES install and woking fast This post has been edited by jackdon: Jun 20 2011, 10:56 AM

im on prime version 6 as well, so far so good, like the performance and gps lock  anyway, i noticed 1 thing, if you plug your iconia to the pc using usb cable, when u browse the hard drive, you will get duplicate folder for each folder that you have in the hard drive. its nothing major, just a duplicate, still you can copy and transfer file from it ..

But i am still comparing this with Asus Transformer and Samsung Tab 10.1. Haven't make up my mind yet. They all have almost the spec. and price, very hard to decide especial A500 has a nice USB2 port while the others have better screen and slimmer.
