Elocity A7 tablet section request

Hi guys,
As we know that Elocity A7 start shipping and some had received their toy.
If possible can someone create a new Elocity section.
I am sure a lot of people exited with its new tegra processor
Thank you.

I second that thought

Third it!!!
So far scouring the net i have read one review on Amazon only by someoen who actually got theirs.
Its not vapor eare ad is quite intriguing. Seems it could also be a 7 inch kin to the g tablet

Yes, please!

can't wait for your unboxing
Keys for me are :
1)viewing angles and that resolution is good enough
2)responsiveness of Ui
3)rootable to get market on it
4)battery life

Well my A7 now is at ups truck, can't wait until ups guy knock my door
For resolution I am sure will not be a problem since my archos 70 has some resolution.

Agreed, this needs a section. How can Notion Ink already have a section yet availability set for late January???

Yes new section for Elocity A7.
I ordered yesterday and it shipped today. I'm so excited I shaking.

Received my A7 few minutes ago, it is extremely fast.
The only let down is this device doesn't support hardware multi touch, I think.
Browser that come with it have pinch to zoom support but its jerky and does not render properly, pinch to zoom on dolphin hd is not supported at all.
This defeat the purpose of having tablet as internet browsing machine.
Well, I will wait for few days to see if there is any fix about this issue, otherwise she will go back to tigerdirect

Video Player in Elocity to play 1080P movies?
Can anyone tell me what kind of Videoplayer insalled in the elocity to play 1080P movies. GTABLET doesn' t play 1080P movies with Hardware decode. Also i like the launcher if some can post the APK!!!

Initial feedback
Just my random notes, I'm not an Android developer, but I have been running a rooted Droid for quite awhile. And advanced novice...
-Rooted out of the box, able to install Superuser. Getting fc with SetCPU, but Titanium Backup works fine.
-Wifi connected immediately. Hasn't lost connection. Streaming Pandora for two+ hours.
-Feels very quick. Page downloads in Dolphin HD are quick with minimal latency. Quadrant = 1900
-Able to stream video from Orb via the web interface with no changes to settings (nice!)
-Running apps with no problems: Newsrob, Pandora, Skype, ADW, Act 1 Video, Dolphin
-Winamp wifi sync working
-Speedtest.net: On my 10/5 Comcast account, scored 5/3.5. Droid scored 1.3/.7
-No multi-touch: Tap to zoom in Dolphin.
Wish list:
-Cyanogen ROM
-Overclock
-Marketplace
-Multi-touch
Overall, I'm very pleased for a $299 tablet and I'm definitely keeping it. If 1-3 on my wishlist come true in the next few weeks, I'll be absolutely thrilled with this.

I'd love to see a elocity section. Thanks!

Elocity Section
I'd like to see one created also
Thanks

Give us an eLocity forum please XDA.

Please make this happen XDA! We're making progress on this thing!
It's rooted, out of the box, we figured out how to get into recovery, we got adb working over wifi, we got LCD Density working...
We really need a forum so that we can pull together and get a better recovery installed, we need GApps and the Market, and on to custom roms!
TIA,
Billy

Bad flash performance since ICS, look here!

Since ICS update to Transformer 720p flash is completely unwatchable on my Asus Transformer.
After googling a bit I found a bug report in Adobes public bug db with a confirmed problem, GPU acceleration is not enabled.
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3099866
However, Adobe isn't planning on fixing it because of lack of time.
Please register on the bug tracker and press vote, if enough votes come in the issue might be prioritized.

I do not have these problems. Updated Flash once I went to ICS. However, I am using the latest Revolver ROM, so that might make a difference

Flash is dead, long live htlm5

I don't have problem with 720 flash youtube videos.... Stock ICS

I already voted.
Have been experiencing problems on every variant of the stock browser (ICS+, Dolphin and vanilla stock) despite doing a complete wipe prior to updating.
FWITW, Opera updated their client and flash plays nicely on 720p.
Don't know how Opera can make this work and stock doesn't....

Please be more specific. Are you using stock browser, Dolphin or what? Also, is your user agent set to desktop?

Those YouTube videos may not even be flash. It may be defaulting to html5

HTML5 is not a solution yet. Flash is critical for things like twitch.tv. Nothing bugs me more than apologetics trying to dismiss the lack of Flash because "HTML5 is the future", this is the same thing Apple users have done for years while Android users have mocked them.

I also have problems, but only when I try full screen mode. Otherwise it works fine.

Couldn't agree more! I use my tf for a bit of stream browsing on twitch.tv and it bugs me as hell that while everything was fine and dandy under HC it is now crap.
I can confirm that windowed mode works after dolphin's upgrade yesterday but fullscren is still not there. It's like it opens on a "ghost" window somewhere and you can't focus on it to bring it to the front.
Finally can others please try opera to see if this resolves the issues? (Their latest changelog speaks specifically about adding flash functionality for 4.x devices)

ACER ICS 4.04 update ?

Why did ACER didn't push the new ICS update? with the Acer ring? ....Is't possible they will stop supporting this device?

yes , everything ends

Yes and maybe they thought a shortcut to add shortcuts when shortcuts could just be added to the home screen when both require the same amount button presses not worth supporting

I think he meant that ACER decided not to give us Homescreen folders. My Phone has this feature with ICS 4.0.3.

I think the Acer ring is nothing more then flash. Something you can brag about having but to me not very useful.
And I also believe support for this device will end quite soon.

i skiped the ots mainly and i have NO NO NO NO NO NO NO ISSUES!
no drops in wifi
no sod
no boot reloop
the audio is 300% better sounding! its like goin from mono-£5-radio to a sony-3d-theater system

Well I will be darned it does have folders, props to you (and I hit the thanks button too). I hadn't done the ICS folders on my phone in forever and forgot to drag and drop shotcuts, not Widgets.
So other than the Acer ring I saw on the A200 at best buy I don't feel like anything is missing, and I really don't know why I would want to have that ring cluttering my clean home screen anyways.
My sig states what I am on: Acer A500 - Rooted Stock 4.0.3 - rooted to add USB 3G support, and VPN support
No drugs at the moment, atleast that i can remember.

I completely agree. The acer ring is just bloat quite frankly. It's a failed attempt to differentiate a OS that is just fine when stock.

I don't see why people even expected them to include the ring, it was new for the new tabs, and the early ICS leak we had didn't have it in it, its all marketing, release a new feature that is nothing but I candy. Don't get me wrong its cool, but its nothing super over the top.

"Couldn't" doesn't have a damn thing to do with it. Of course they COULD include it, if they wanted to. It's not there because they've made a BUSINESS DECISION to only make their Ring app available to their newer devices, from the A200 upwards.
After all, it makes little corporate sense to update your older stuff to the same feature set as your new stuff. Where would be the incentive to buy the new stuff?

they probably left it out, since our tablet didnt come with it to begin with, good props to them too, not forcing bloatware onto a product we have owned for close to a year

THere has been issues with the ring on the A200. It also wasn't a widely accepted thing, unfortunatly it decreases over all performance and memory availability and performance users simply don't use it. Folders are just easier.

THe A200 was released later, but it really isn't newer, just a price point economical version of the A500 with soem htigns removed. I guess the ring was meant to composate.

New update and features or the Nook ST and Glow...

Remember that web browser that was found hiding in the Nook's search function? It's time could be nigh. According to a leaked memo acquired by TechCrunch, Barnes & Nobel will be updating the Nook Simple Touch and Simple Touch with Glowlight with an email app, web browser and an updated store next month. The update will reportedly be sent over the air starting on June 1st and rolling out to all devices in the following weeks. The idea isn't too far fetched -- the Simple Touch is running a skinned version of Android. Nook owners not willing to wait for the official patch can always root the device of course, which comes with some peripheral advantages. Check out TechCrunch for a look the full memo.

Interesting; I wonder if they've got a newer kernel as well, or just tweeked there existing ancient one.

Very interesting, can't wait for the update!
Anyway I was hoping for the store, I would like to install apps without root, but I guess it's never going to happen!

I would doubt that we could get the Play store as someone noted that the new design of it does not work with our venerable Nooks.
Still it is a nice update, not sure if I would get it though as mine is rooted etc and thus it might prevent it from downloading.

This Nook is over a year old now (isn't it?)... There can't be that many tablet manufacturers still willing to perform hefty developments on hardware that old. So web browser and email client announcement will be just that. And no more... no kernel, no other android support. I guess the 'updated store' is their B&N book store, not any kind of android store.
(I omit other bug fixes and reading-centric improvements)
(and as someone who has rooted and set up their nook just nicely, I don't think I'll care about this update, unless it does anything useful for me).

It would be lovely have a official service to send and parse content to nooks, a kind of "Send to Nook" from web browsers and smart phones.

That's what I'm hoping. Even if it just lets you import epubs from email I'd be good with that, it'd allow things like News Beamer and the like to work, as well as adding new sideloaded books without plugging into a computer which is honestly the thing I miss most from the rooted version since I accidentally triggered a reset to stock
==EDIT== some way to import books without plugging in, ability to edit the screensaver banner (had it as an "if found, contact" statement), and a persistent 1 px battery bar at the bottom of the screen and they'd cover all the root features I personally usedwith any regularity

A web browser might mean the device will get official multi-touch support.
The increase from 1.2.1 to 1.5.0 would suggest a bunch of under the hood stuff.

Chrome 35 ruins bookmark list

Thank science for Titanium Backup, but seriously, what idiot developer thought this change was good?

The re-done stock browser in 4.4 is faster than Chrome and has neat bookmarking...

4.4 is a non starter for me until the issues are resolved concerning Chromecast and lockscreen widgets.

You'll be on 4.3 for a long time. The Chromecast issue doesn't affect everyone equally and according to this post it's not even listed as an identified issue in Samsung's problem tracking system.

Thank you for contacting Samsung. I understand that you are experiencing “com.android.systemui” error on the Galaxy Note 10.1 while using Chromecast to play music/ movies on TV.
I have checked the information in our database and see that, there are no reported cases with Samsung about the Chromecast issue. However, I will provide you troubleshooting steps, please perform them on the device and check if that resolves the issue.

Samsung dropped lock screen widgets starting with the Pro's. The SGS5 and Tab 4's don't have them either. So unless a dev figures out how to get them back for people that are rooted they're pretty much gone.
I tried a friends Chromecast (I don't use it) and I don't have the issue people are describing. While casting I can open the notification panel and change the volume. I upgraded vs. doing a full wipe and still have the lock screen widgets on 4.4. I lost Daynote which is supposed to be there and I'd rather have it than the widgets. I'm betting if I hard reset the lock screen widgets will go away and Daynote will come back. Maybe you'll get lucky and the widgets will remain after you upgrade.

I expected to never receive a viable update when I bought it. Samsung is not known for their great product support. If there had been an updated Nexus 10 released, I wouldn't even be here, but Google left the 10 inchers out to dry it seems.
That being said, Chrome is now apparently abandoning tablet users as well. It feels like Google has given up on the tablet market altogether. Maybe that guy talking about looking to Windows for his next tablet has the right idea :-\

Indeed my bookmark icons on my Note 10.1 and Note 3 look horrible. Really a bummer of astronomical proportions. On my Note 3 it already looks silly. and on my tablet it is like a go back 10 years in time.

Google's response is this is the new UI, get used to it.
Fantastic. Google continues to ignore tablets.
Here is Chrome 34 in case anyone wants to revert https://www.dropbox.com/s/eubrrska2yn4x1j/com.android.chrome-df9bf246a7ea41035ce899f77c9b901c.apk.gz

Google Chrome seems to need some help here as you all gang up on it..
I really like the new look and find it much more usefull, you have everything at hand just over the buttons and easy to scroll thru. Much easier and a better solution to handle the bookmarks I think.

If that's Google's reponse they can have it. No Chrome for me anymore and removed it from my devices. I hope hundreds of million of us will do the same. That will change their mind. And like I said, it looks like if I go back in time for 10 years.
