[Q] Honeycomb 3.2 - HoneyVillain 1.1 A500/A501 24-08 - Acer Iconia A500

Hi,
I've installed this rom on my A501, it work well but 3G is inactive ...
There is an issue ??

yes it is. also tried taboonay 2.0 without success.
seems like they really need to fix something..

In case you havent tried, and since I dont have an A501... not sure if the option will show.
I know in the settings for Taboonay, The Data mode is default to Wifi only. Its to disable the "Cell-Standy" which supposedly drains the battery for us Wifi only people. Its for A500 users, but maybe if you have the option too.
Check it out, and see if that helps. Its under the TabooTools in Apps.

since we have this talk going on this rom, i was wondering if anyone notices the camcorder change. I have noticed now that setting my camcorder on high quality now squished the image and makes everything look stalky. The lower setting does not do this.
am I just crazy or is anyone else having this issue?

[Q] Words with Friends Problem Acer A500

I have just bought Acer Iconia A500 and when I play Words WF the tray tiles keep shuffling until I place one, running Honeycomb 3.1, is this a problem with the tablet or software ? I have tried turning the rotation off any ideas please
I play the game myself on my tablet and do not have this problem.. Are you running the Tablet version of the app of the phone version? I have no issues at all witht he tablet version.
I expect the tablet version I downloaded from market with the tablet I did not need to specify so believe should be right I have got the ap on an Optus Tablet works fine, thanks for your reply ????????????
If you got it through the market as opposed to installing an APK manually then you should have the right version. I am at a loss as to why you are experiencing the problem you describe though. Not experiencing this issue at all myself.
try to uninstall, then reinstall, may be a bad apk u installed
Hi. Your accelerometer is what's causing the issue. It's reporting the Z axis to be 0 to + 18 instead of -9.6 to +9.6.
I have the exact same issue. It's not a bad install or APK. You'll have the same problems in games like ATilt 3D Labyrinth, and anything else that relies on Z-axis. Have been looking for a fix or an update that fixes this but so far nothing.
I've tried multiple roms so far. My next attempt is going to revert back to stock (unrooted) 3.0 and try the OTA updates.
Update: Just reverted back to stock rom, issue is present in words with friends and also ATilt 3D Labybrinth. However, it's not present in Labyrinth Lite. Odd. updating now to stock 3.1
Update: Just updated to stock 3.1 via OTA. Words with friends now working/not constantly changing tiles.
I had the same problem. Constant shuffling in WWF. Updated to 3.1 and seems to be gone. They should've put a way to turn off shake-to-shuffle (which is what causes the problem). Honestly who would shake their tablet (or phone) to shuffle when there is a button right there?
Hi thanks for your really detailed reply you obviously know your stuff but as I am very new to tablets I have no idea what or how to update etc. Tablet tells me 3.01, Kernel 2.6.36.3 and build 1.016.04.
What is rooted etc, sorry if I seem a bit thick but struggling with the terminology and process, I therefore probably am a bit thick....LOL thanks for your assistance, Phil

[Q] SplashTop HD Problems

Is anyone getting the crash problems with Splashtop HD? I googled the error and found that 3.2 with it's weird DHCP problem sucks and needs Static, but i changed my setting to static, and im still having crashing when im having -anything- of fair performance on my desktop up.
What im trying to do is use it to play Atlantica online, which of course, i've seen people playing Rift through their Iconia's on youtube, so Altantica, far less graphical should be no problem.
Right now im using the 3.2 CFW update that someone put out to preserve my root, i am also on Thor's 3.4 the rest Kernal, BUT i think im going to change it up to Richardtrip's.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Edit: Also, whenever i try to browse to other computers on my home network. (Have a computer that holds our movies and such) It crashes as well.
Edit: Problem seemed to have fixed it'self over..dunno, kind of strange. Anyway, mods feel free to remove this post.

[Q] Nook app screen goes black on E-mags!

Just checking if anyone else has the same issue since installing ICS. I know that the B & N Nook app has never been the most stable app and has always been a little glitchy, but now when I open up one of my e-magazines, if I try to zoom into an article or a picture the whole screen goes black. It doesn't happen all the time but it is quite frequent. I have tried a few different mags and have encountered the same problem. Not sure if there is something in the settings I can alter to alleviate this glitch? Never had this particular problem before the update! Any suggestions?
P.S. I have a non rooted US WiFi stock ICS version.

[Q] Camera problems.

Hello
I have been having some problems with the main camera on the A500. It has different tints to it. Sometimes the picture seems to be divided in 4 and all 4 squares have a different hue to them. Restoring to factory settings seem to take care of it for a while. Initially I thought it was "skype" that messed it up, but it is not.
I just restarted the tablet and the camera is giving me a yellow tint, with a clear horizontal stripe about 3/4 inch wide through the middle.
The tab has stock 3.2 on it.
I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar problems and if there was a solution to the problem.
Thank you
Well, I would think the problem seems to be some app/apps you have installed. Based on when you do a factory reset, it goes away.
I would just do another factory reset. Then verify it went away. Run it for a couple of days WITHOUT installing any apps. This will probably rule out a hardware issue.
Then install apps, 1 at a time. Use the camera, and look for issues.
Thanx. I will give that a try.
I traced it back to Swift Key X keyboard for tablets. How is that even possible?
Also yahoo messenger is another one that ruins the camera. As soon as I install any of those apps and reboot, the camera is back to normal.
Does anyone out there use either of those apps?

So, everything is ok?
Rule #1,
Stay away from apps meant for phones.
Yes, they "may" have tested it it on "1" tablet, then gave it a clean bill of health. Maybe.

I thought it would be ok. But after restarting a few times, the camera colors are off. I'm going to root and install a custom 3.2 to make sure it is not the hardware.
Spasiba for all your help )
any news about this problems.
it seems that my iconia has the same problem- i never noticed it because i dont use the rear camera.
i sold it it today and the guy who bought has described something like what you folks are talking about
the strange thing is that i had done a clean boot before i sold it, and the buyer hasnt installed anything on it yet.
im waiting to hear back from him after he tries another clean boot.
anyone else have any ideas ?
I'm having the same problem. I don't use it much, but the camera was ok before. When I tried using it this weekend, it showed colored translucent squares on the sides. It is not a config problem, as there are no effects turned on. The front camera works 100%. I will post a sample when I get home.
If I change the "whites" config to Incandescent, it kind of solves the problem. Sometimes, the squares appear, but not for most the time.
I believe this is not a harware issue, unless that whites configuration is made with hardware (highly doubt it). I don't have Swift key, or Yahoo messenger, or any other apps that use the camera (other than Skype, but it was already installed when the camera worked).
Did anybody find a fix to this? It seems it is only a problem on stock 3.2.
Edit: not an exclusive 3.2 stock issue, it appears that custom roms have this problem as well.
I have the same issue after ICS ota upgrade...
Any ideas?
I haven't had the issue since the ICS upgrade. Only tested once or twice, but it is working properly.
What I did to partially fix it was changing the White Balance to "Incandescent".

Strange homescreen behavior [ICS]

Hi all,
I have noticed some strange graphics on the top part of my homescreen when on portrait mode. It seems random and a restart is required to fix it.
I have uploaded some screenshots to my dropbox: http://db.tt/X9HSzTw9
There is no flickering it's just static and I never encountered this issue on HC. Anybody else noticed this behavior? I wonder if it is ICS or hardware related.
Thanks for all your help
Try another launcher and see if it goes away. I remember having something similar (although not as severe) on the stock launcher.
My favorite is Nova Launcher, which is basically the same as stock but with more options, and a hell a lot faster
Also, enabling "Force 2D GPU Rendering" in the settings/development can, sometimes, cause those kinds of artifacts. So if you got that turned on, try turning it off.
Im finding it hard to believe its a HW issue and lean more towards "ICS Issue"... ICS isnt exactly what I'd call bugfree
I experienced the same thing with Youtube App (Even the reboot won't help)
ICS is a big failure so far
I had the same issue at first, factory reset got it stable. Try not to restore apps, I see this advice all over the forums in this case, just reinstall them from the market again.
Good luck
