hi all,
I am in dilemma either to buy the acer iconia tab a500, asus ee pad transformer or ipad2. My gut feeling say I should go for android this round but before that, may I know what need to look for during buying the iconia?. Can anyone help me. Do I need to look at screen bleeding and antennagate (like the ipad2 issue)?. How do you find the iconia so far?. Is it worth to buy?. can iconia use with 3G broadband usb device?. thanks in advance. azihas |

QUOTE(mAxPC @ May 26 2011, 08:32 PM) I used my Maybank Treats point to convert to cash, so that was another RM 200 off, of course you might want to save the points for something else later why I didnt think of Maybank Treats point before. If not, can get less another RM200 off to pay.... but as u mention, maybe I can use the points later... thanks for the info..

QUOTE(gl7 @ May 28 2011, 07:59 PM) Hi all, just curious, saw lot of different websites, some state the A500 is 16GB, some is 32GB, is the SenHeng selling one is 32GB? Hi there, also, the SenHeng 2 years warranty, is it hardware warranty or service warranty (service warranty mean you send the tab to check for problem in 2nd year, free labour exclude part cost)? The one that I bought from SenQ / Seng Heng was 32GB version. I think mostly 32GB. Regarding the warranty, I'm not sure the 2 yr warranty including parts and labor after 1 yr std Acer warranty. Maybe someone from the forum can clarify this thing |

QUOTE(gl7 @ May 29 2011, 01:47 PM) I see, do you check the receipt, does it mention 2 years warranty, also the terms in small or back, mention anything 2nd warranty? Hi there, I think a former name Hico do posted on the warranty issue from Sent Heng/SenQ. Post msg #24. Maybe you can have a look at it. |

Hi all,
Not sure whether is this violation of LYN forum or not. Can anyone tell me how to identify whether the iconia successfully rooted or not?. Is it by having Superuser icon appear in the application list?. Please pm me. thanks azihas |

QUOTE(benny888 @ May 31 2011, 05:05 PM) If you see app superuser in menu than is rooted . Is very simple to root just use gingerbreak 1.2 n lock tab in portrait mode doing it Thanks for the reply benny888. This mean that I have successfully rooted the iconia. Same like jailbreak the iPhone. Very simple indeed. |

hi there,
anyone got update to HC3.1 for iconia?. If update to HC3.1, we need to root it again is it? Added on June 1, 2011, 10:55 am QUOTE(evilpuppy @ May 31 2011, 05:44 PM) yup, but you still need market enabler to acess all those restricted apps. hi evilpuppy, I've install the market enabler but still cannot access the restricted apps?. Anything else that need to be done besides selecting the telco list from the market enabler?. This post has been edited by azihas: Jun 1 2011, 10:55 AM |

QUOTE(evilpuppy @ Jun 1 2011, 02:35 PM) like benny said, clear all market data / cache, btw, did you select the telco [us]T-Mobile tab hold then " Fake this provider Now" ??? or you just select without Faking it?? thanks to benny and evilpuppy... manage to use the market enabler. currently manage to download a few apps from android market. so far so smooth regarding the iconia. just waiting for the HC 3.1 which someone said within this month...i guess acer iconia Screen size resolution was too high to run normal PapagaX5, some said altering the resolution will do. but i never try perhaps you should read this http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1634483 have you download acer iconia A500 USB Driver from www.acer.com.my?? and Acer sync here http://mobile.acer.com/en/acer-sync/instal...-guide/#android |
