Guys, i think I am having 2 soft-keyboard layouts... on different apps/pages.

I like the one with ".com" key. How do I activate this for all of my apps/pages?

Our A500 is known to have GPS and not Agps. Due to honeycomb's restriction, it will now function as Agps.

My colleague's tf101 able to detect his own location in Google maps with wifi switched off!

I already ask but they said that 1 is for a long member and they sent the voucher to home...if i hv the voucher than only can redeem..so,am i hv been cheated..??

When I bought it last week, i did ask, and straight away they minus RM50 from the RM1599.

Sadly, my first unit with tiny hole on the glass screen (not on the surface, but from the inside). So i changed to 2nd unit.

Went home and tested 2nd unit, screen bleed a bit on one side, with 3 dead pixels spotted.

Arranged to change they agreed, and during exchange, i open up 2 brand new boxes, ( i was like a person who has opened up 4 new sets of Iconia with single purchase!) found both boxes with defects (tiny chipped holes from the inside).

That's crazy, I wonder if SenQ received all defected Iconias from ACER Malaysia?

Tomorrow, I will ask them to refund liow... cant take it anymore! mad.gif

I still like Iconia... smooth OS without S/W problems to me so far sad.gif

Wow, that is bad luck!

Ooops, you reminded me of checking for screen bleed and dead pixels... How do you check? Open an blank white image in the Iconia?
*
For screen bleed, very simple (view in total darkness with max brightness setting), look at the 4-edges of the screen in total darkness, if you notice imbalance brightness if there is a bleed.

For dead pixels, do download the test s/w from android market.

Wow, luckily you told me, after I inspect mine, there are 2 tiny holes from the inside on the screen!

No screen bleeding in my case.

I think I will go for an exchange later, do I need to bring along the box? hmm.gif
*
Bring everything. Wipe the screen clean clean so that you can show to them. Which branch of SenQ are you going to?

Do I need to factory reset before I change?

Better, in order to protect your personal account data.

Wow, SenQ really superb! I love their service. I complaint to the lady that this is the 4th unit having problem, and she does expect me to ask for refund. So I did.

Thumbs up for SenQ customer service! thumbup.gif

They are now processing to refund the amount back from my credit card! (approx. 2 weeks)

I will miss Iconia sad.gif

Oh something i wanna ask. What's the benefit when the tablet has USB ports?

Can plug in digi/celcom/maxis usb modem and connect to the internet?

And what else?

What about iconia screen display wise? Not as clear as other 16M colours tablet right?
*
Based on my experience, the display quality is okay for me. Even better than the Xoom i tested.

Just to share, the Iconia is driving my Sennheiser CX 280 very well!

Good news to audiophile!
No DAC needed?

Tab 10.1 is indeed very much more responsive and every process is faster.  Very obvious, can say no lag at all
