FYI, if you have wifi always show obtaining ip address everywhere...then you can try use [root explorer] go to [\data\misc\dhcp] and delete [dhcpcd-wlan0.lease]

i downloaded the update.. around 117mb. but it failed to install, saying that my version does not match with this new downloaded version.

or someone have Acer_A500_0.000.00_1.016.04_CO​M_GEN1?

Thank for the info. I have not root yet ,will root it later.

for those which cannot update, you may go to acer services center to request revert back -> from one A500 user
Billy Chia acer subang, i m on firmware 1.141.04 from XDA which cant update OTA 3.1. acer revert back to early 1.016 then 1.139 and final honeycomb 3.1.

manage to revert back 1.139.04 using below method:

From XDA:
I have got my Tablet back to 1.139.05_COM_GEN1 using the CWM method

I got stuck at the md5 checksum error too and here is overcome this error.

After you have installed Acer_A500_0.000.00_1.016.01_COM_GEN1 go into CWM and make a full backup. Copy the backup created by CWM to the PC then replace the files with the ones extracted out from the 1.139.02.zip in page 1. There are two missing file in the 1.1.39.02.zip. They are Data.img and Cache.img. So you will be using your own two files you have created with CWM. In total you should have 10 Files in the folder as show below
boot.img, cache.img, data.img, flexrom.img, recovery.img, system.img, mmcblk0_start.img, nandroid.MD5, UID.txt, .android_secure.img

I used MD5Summer to create a new set of md5 checksums and use hex editor to replace the new checksums in the original nandroid.md5 file. After you have generate and replace the MD5 in nandroid.md5, you should be able do a Full restore using CWM.
Next Got to download "Acer_A500_1.016.01_1.139.05_COM_GEN1" and decrypt it. Copy to your MicroSD. For me, I take out the MicroSD card and copy to the MicroSD directly with SD slot. and use CWM to install the update.

Note For me I only try "Acer_A500_1.016.01_1.139.05_COM_GEN1" and did not try "Acer_A500_1.016.01_1.139.04_COM_GEN1". Try this at your own Risk.

I downloaded Skype from market but not able to make video call. Is there a way for Acer iconia. ?

i dont think that android for skype can make video call.

I notice the sdcard is visible in the a500 storage report, but not in the file manager, so how do we utilize it?

You definitely can see all the storage internal sd card,ext sd card and usb thumb drive using any file manager. Just use the file manager to manage files between all these 3 in the tablet utself

There are workarounds for other android such such sgs II. Dont think is workable for our tab. Anyway I am happy to settle with my sgs II skype, or i may test google video talk on 3.1

For those don't have backup of stock ROM and currently in custom ROM / in leaked ROM and still want to have OTA update to Honeycomb 3.1 (I'm able to update to HC3.1 yesterday after use the method), kindly refer to FAQ section at first page.

Note: Try this at your own risk
