this gadget cannot replace notebook. just get SGS II and a notebook. then when you have extra money just go for any tablet.

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

Hi,

I have been using my Iconia for almost 2 weeks now and it is great. I just now took out my MicroSD 8 GB and inserted to a Kingston 3 in one card reader to copy over one HD movie. 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 HD format plays just fine, I cannot even see the files copied via file explorer HD.

Anyway I am reformatting the MicroSD again on Fat32 format as suggested.

Thanks.

the easier way to install recover img can use Acer Recovery Installer
just download from market, install > backup current rom image.

boot into CWM then update your custom HC3.1..

Hi Benny,

I had install ClockWorkMod and did a full backup.
Proceed to update to Primee V1.4 V6 but not install Patch6
System bootup to the Logo and hangs there.

I am not sure what is wrong so I am now restoring back to the full backup I did.

Any suggestion.

did you clear your cache partition and dalvik cache ( at advanced) before you flash the zip
it is even better to clear data/factory reset

I did the dalvik cache clear and I notice that the update also clear dalvik cache. 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 ?

smile.gif itching to taste the speed of 1.4GHz... I am now back after a full restore.

Hey thanks for the quick reply Sifu tongue.gif

jackdon

im on prime version 6 as well, so far so good, like the performance and gps lock smile.gif

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 ..

The latest i checked with my supplier is RM1450. 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.

True, that is another down for Tab. I am more and more leaning toward A500 now.
