Why does Acer suck at updates? - Acer Iconia A500

Does anyone have a answer? I have a Asus Transformer and Acer Iconia, and the Transformer just recieved an update to 3.2.1. Nothing much added only a new program named Super Note. Which is pretty cool if you have a stylus. Anyways why does it take Acer so long. FYI I'm in the US still running 3.1.

You could have a Samsung and still be stuck on 3.1

It doesn't matter if it's samsung, acer, asus or motorola. Even if it's a tab or a phone, people will complain about the next update, and when they get it they'll complain about the lack of fixes or content, features etc.
It will forever be like this. I don't even worry about it, there are more important things in life.

Updates? What are these things called updates? Are they better than the rom ive been using for the last month that runs 3.2?

Asus Padfone announced

http://www.crunchgear.com/2011/05/3...nounces-its-android-tabletphone-combo-videos/
My observations: The videos are conflicting. The first shows the status bar with purple indicators, then with blue indicators. The second video then shows it with the Gingerbread status bar. It also shows that when in tablet, its Honeycomb. However, the web browser they show is Internet Explorer!
Thoughts?

I like the idea. Guess we'll see how well it's executed. This is the type of thing I'm waiting for before I jump into the tablet market. I'd rather not have both a separate tablet and phone. Give me one device that can double as both depending on the situation (tablet at home, phone on the go).

Same here! I really think this is the wave of the future, and will eventually replace the laptop/desktop system.
Just needs to connect to a BT KB & Mouse and it will be perfect!
I wish they would get their **** wired and start delivering Transforms...

Don't forget, google announced at the IO this year that they're introducing hardware development support. I expect keyboards and mice to be one of the first things you'll see.

Another topic that should be moved to the a general discussion forum.
What would be even better would be to combine this PadPhone with their Asus Transformer (the tablet that turns into a laptop with the addition of the keyboard). Then you would have a triple combo: phone, tablet, and laptop all in one device.

I'm excited about this. I own an Asus Transformer and an Asus laptop. Both are high quality and so far, the support for the TF is good. They began releasing 3.1 today. After my update experiences on the Epic, I am very impressed.
Timely updates (granted no cell technology or carrier to deal with) and quality products could put Asus in position to be a major player in the Android market.

I think if it can be done properly the phone/tablet dock is a great way to go. I don't need a big screen to lug on the go but would love to plop my phone in a dock at home for some extra screen real estate.

Where is TouchWiz for our wifi units???

Did samsung release touchwiz yet? Im mean whats the hold up?
and before anyone says anything, no, I dont want to install the buggy hacked touchwiz some people have rigged together in a few threads here. I want the official TouchWiz install.
Maybe they will first release with the 3g model and give the stupid carriers something to brag about.

lolz, if you dont want the "buggy hacked touchwizz some people have rigged together" why dont you just send a mail to Samsung directly ?!
ahahahaha unbelievable...
PS: wrong forum !
So are you telling me samsung is asking to touch our wiz before we can get the update? Grows!
Now that's something Samsung needs to deliver at least with the wi-fi version. There's no carrier restriction on it (eg. xoom wi-fi got the HC 3.2 and 3G version is waiting on carrier approval). Just bragging about the thinnest and lightest tablet wont help them getting love from the regular user. I hope Samsung doesn't screw on this one.
I love how before the Tab was released everyone was saying "no touchwiz!", and now everyone is saying "where's my touchwiz!?"

even without Touchwiz Tab is so cool even the BestBuy staff when they see it first time they surprised how good tab is. OP don't wait for TW you can enjoy your tab Now.
We will probably see the official touchwiz update sometime in april or may.

The longer this Tab stays without the TouchWiz the better.
Most of you guys that want touchwiz immediately you will cry out loud once you get it.

When i looked through the system dump the faceunlock.apk was there so i would assume you can access it. should be in settings under security and i believe you have to have a pin set up before you can use face unlock

You would assume wrong. I refer you to the lmgtfy link; pretty much the first post has confirmation that even though the apk is there, it won't do anything, and nor has copying it over from another device worked. Asus has disabled it for whatever reason.

That seems more likely, but until somebody tries it, we don't know if Asus disabled it for a good reason.
Maybe it's relevant to the issue, but I have a Nexus S on stock ICS, and the Face Unlock feature isn't available as well.
Maybe it's only available to the Galaxy Nexus as of right now.
I have it on my Galaxy Nexus and it is kind of fun to show off but not that great unless you are always sitting in a well lit area. Not worried about it at all.

Looking for Beta Testers :)

Hi everyone,
Some of you may know me for bringing Onskreen's Cornerstone to the HP Touchpad. I've received a couple of requests to bring it to the Asus Transformer. I've got a test build and I need about 2-3 brave souls with TF201's to test it out. Keep in mind that I do not have a Transformer; however, after doing it for the Touchpad, the Transformer should be pretty straightforward.
Please PM me if interested.
Thanks!

Probably should post in TF201 forum you will get more responses.
I'd love to test, but only got TF101 to offer
I saw your reference to onskreen posted on the ARHD thread and looked it up...
Loved the concept since I'd always seen those Android devices as also being a thin client for the desktop and living room big screen.
Only problem: I ain't got no TF201 and the toy budget is kinda drained after I want crazy with a Notion Ink Adam, a TF101, a Galaxy S and a Galaxy Note last year...
Both NI Adam and TF101 are on ICS.
I would love to see this working on the slider

As mentioned, are you looking for people with a Prime (tf201) or an original Transformer (tf101)? I PM'd you about it as I have a tf201 and am interested.

Sorry about that, Mods, can you please move to the correct section? I'll have one for the TF101 hopefully soon. Thanks!
if I can put it on my TF101, I would be ecstatic! I had been trying to figure out how to install it on here after I downloaded when I figured that I probably just can't put it on here yet. i just figured before downloading that it was and apk that worked on all tablets, or most, but i guess not :\ but I would LOVE cornerstone

Changed my mind. I highly recommend against this rom for most people. Can't stand newbies whining about this early build. If you want multiple windows, just get an ipad. Then, you're apple's problem, not ours anymore.
That said, now that I've experienced multiple windows, I can't go back anymore. I'm sticking with this rom despite all the bugs.

You can enable it on the ICS Leak by modifying build.prop - ICS Root does this for you if you tell it to do so (forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=350) but on other versions I suggest you do it manually. The three lines to add to build.prop are:
acer.shell.mode=ENABLED
acer.shell.launcher.mode=ANDROID
acer.shell.contacts.mode=ENABLED
Acer Ring apk

And your framework-res and SystemUI needs to support it just installing the APK is not enough.
