Did you upgrade to 3.01 ( Acer_A500_1.141.04_COM_GEN1 ) : check it at settings/about tablet

If you have not , just do it at Settings/About tablet/System Update - the download will take about 15-20 mins
Before you do the update, make sure any original default apps which are removed/or freeze are installed back. If not you will not have a successful update

I did read some users having such shutdown issues and was solved with the update

Thanks for clarifying this point

Nothing beats the portability and convenience of the 7". The SGS tab is my highly recommended 7" tablet after comparing it with my other HTC Flyer 7". I only use the Iconia at home,  mostly in bed before sleep - lazying at the sofa

wow...SGT is better than Flyer? why? hmm.gif
because of phone function?

Flyer for those who love htc sense ui and its proprietary pen system, both I don't use at all. Also is more expensive.  It is still officially selling for rm2499 vs rm1499 for Gtab. You can get AP sets about rm2k
basically beside these major difference, both performance about similar no significant differences
I don't find the flyer 1.5 ghz chip vs Gtab 1 ghz any difference. Maybe better for games but I don't play games
The phone function in the Gtab is indeed a bonus
At a price difference of rm1000 definately the tab is a better buy
*
how about SGSII compare with SGT?
I don't love to play games too... laugh.gif

and it just cost RM75, which is more cheaper than sikai case rclxms.gif
you may choice to buy this or still remain to buy the sikai case
for those already make payment, you may email to inform the seller and he will refund the extra money

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.

you may do that if you wish to use stock firmware or go for leak 3.1 base firmware system

upgraded my to Acer_A500_4.010.40_COM_GEN1 this morning. The process was generally smooth, unlike to 3.1OTA.
This time even if i did remove some system app. I can still install the update with no problem.

The root status is no affected with this minor update.

great info that remove system app also can update, thanks

Any tutorial for Acer Recovery Installer? Just want to make sure before I brick my device. tongue.gif

just go market search acer recovery installer, then select CWM to install...
then during reboot, press power+volome - you will go to a boot interface smile.gif

You don't compare , you will be happy with it. The diaplay,  I'd say is decent and nice. Most important you don't  hear about bleeding issues as commonly reported in TF and ipad2.  Every product has its pros n cons - the pros in the Iconia is its price and features offered : 32GB, ext micro SD slot, full USB all just for RM 1.4-1.5K
It'd be nice if we can have a 10/10 tablet but than be prepared to pay a 11/10 price for it

price already drop to rm1399

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

how much you sell the a500? hmm.gif
