I've changed to custom ROMS / leaked HC3.1 ROM but did not do any backup to revert to old version 1.139.04 to be able to received HC3.1. How Could I revert to 1.139.04?
There are 2 ways to revert:
1) Send to ACER service center HQ at Persiaran Sime UEP, Subang (this has been done by an ICONIA user in Facebook)
2) Follow this steps which I've tested and able to update HC3.1 OTA.

A quick guide on flashing rom ( more detail than what you can read at XDA ):
compiled by benny888

NOTE : you need to copy the downloaded rom zip file to the tablet INTERNAL SD card NOT external card

1. Download AcerRecoveryInstaller from Market . Launch the app

2. Switch off Iconia

3. Press down the vol button ( near the power switch ) and press the power button. You will see ACER splash screen and some small white words appearing at the top. Let go both buttons. The tab will boot into recovery mode

4. Select Backup/Restore - restore your present rom first

5. Using the vol buttons to scroll, select clear cache partition. Than scroll to Advanced , select clear dalvik cache

NOTE : Use POWER button to select your choices

5. NEXT Select install zip - follow the next step to select, browse using the vol up/down button to the rom zip file and press POWER button to select

IMPORTANT : It is important also to select clear data/factory reset if you are moving from one rom cook to another. If you are flashing first time, this is compulsory.

because of phone function?

IMHO, For me SGT better as it can play most of popular video codecs (its samsung excel point) and cheaper than flyer happy.gif. Phone function is a plus.

Despite the weight, I can now carry a moving library and book shelves. I have a study room full of books decorated in old British style. But over last few years I fly a lot so with this tab I am done after work in hotel. Plus no need to keep hardcopies which is burying my room. Plus point for oconia. is USB where I can move things easier.

TIPS from Cyberkewl lowyat forumer at his EEE Pad thread: QUOTE

So you've downloaded a bunch of nice HD wallpapers with just about the right resolution for your honeycomb tablet, but then when you try to set the wallpaper in the honeycomb gallery, you realised that the crop tool isn't doing such a great job at cropping your wallpaper especially for landscape view. So what do you do? I'll introduce you a very nice application that does the dirty work for you and have screenshots of the original wallpaper that i've downloaded with the one that i've loaded up after using the tool. Check out the article here:

You cannot see the external micro sdcard from pc. This affects all bc tablets . Wait for Google to address it or some solutions from xda

I am using dna 16gb class 10 and 32gb class 10. Cheaper than others, no issues with
it. Have yet to read about problems from other users at the lowyat forums
However many bad reports on patriot cards esp on incompatible issues

thanks for the reply...

Hi guys, I read through the  old acer iconia a500 thread ,continue to read from here. I have questions below

1. according to the first page, the card size is up to 64 GB. Is this include or exclude the internal 32GB? will it recognize 64 gb card? so I will have 96Gb in total if I insert a 64Gb card? drool.gif

2. I notice some of you have upgrade to HC 3.1, did it able to handle 1080?

3. Is there any light bleeding issues for this tablet? I read the whole Asus transformer thread, their problems a bit  (>1) scare me off. And I really like the USB on tablet and the physical orientation lock switch.

4. I'm thinking to get one soon. Anything/ any issues I should check/aware while I buy?
*
Hi...

1. I haven't test with 64gb... but as per specs from most of the sites, it stated maximum card is 64GB.
2. I haven't update yet; have to check with others icon_question.gif
3. My unit don't have light bleeding issue.
4. The only problem to me currently, my microsd card not detected in PC when connect tablet to PC (its HC3.0 issue not hardware issue); Have to check with others. icon_question.gif

those interest in HC 3.1 just use the actual released leaked. I have given up using the cooked ones as the more they cook it the more bugs.  if you wish to try the cook roms use their initial release eg Picasso below 1.6, Dexter p1-8,  honey villian1. 
must say the official leak is very stable n yet to see serious bugs. s snsppier than 3.01

Thanks for the advice bro... was thinking to try the cooked roms this weekend... btw... to use the leaked hc3.1 need to follow the guide as page 1 rite.... im noob about this cry.gif

YES no need ; your recovery will remain too. If you flash the original leak, you will lose root and recovery.
