Officially No Jelly Bean Update for ACER A500 - Acer Iconia A500

"According to an Acer spokesperson, the company has official made plans to roll out Jelly Bean to the Iconia Tab A110, A210 and the A510 before the end of this year. On a less happy note, they also confirmed that the A100, A200, and A500 would not receive the update most likely due to limitations in the hardware.
By the end of the year may seem like a long wait, but it’s most definitely better than never. Keep your head up, Iconia owners."

This is so sad.... I thought 1gzh dualcore Tegra 2 and 1g of ram can run JB .

maybe the last or just the first time i say this,

On a more serious note lol, if xda can do it acer should kinda hang they're heads in shame, im not saying cm10 is working bug-free, it isnt, but it is running about 89%....whats the deal acer be honest, you just cant be bothered eh?

You're right bro, Acer aren't bothered about updating A500 or the others mentioned in the earlier post. That's why I decided to get a pure android device on the phone side. i'm presently on Galaxy Nexus after the disappointment HTC dished out on the HTC Desire not getting an OTA to gingerbread. I'm going to wait for Google to announce 10" tablet with very good specs such as HDMI out, USB charging port and very good screen resolution before getting another android tablet. Done with these OEMs messing about when it comes to updating.

Acer didn't have the time to change build.prop to give ICS to Packard Bell G100W, I think that no JB is not a surprise for anyone

Limitations of the hardware? There are already two JB roms for the A500. Aside from some issues that will surely be worked out in both roms, its pretty obvious that the A500 (and as such the A200, thats the A500 clone that has the ring and no rear camera, right?) can handle JB.

tegraowners is CM10 as well, its just he who shall not be named's build of CM10. the tegraowners ICS was CM9, despite what some people around here have tried to claim about it lacking theme support and cyanogenmod options.
and it would appear that with Civato's post that there will soon be three CM10 based roms. Civato always does great work, too.

After reading this, I decided to contact Acer and ask if this was true and for an explanation cause this would really make me mad. According to the rep I talked to via chat. he/she (I couldn't tell). They are working on a JB for the A500. They are working with Android and don't have a date yet but it will be released eventually. I don't know what to believe but obvious the Acer Spokesperson and the support rep I talked to are not on the same page.

This site is everything right with open-source community-based OSs.
I love the progress we're seeing on the CM10 port and all of the hard-working folks that are dedicating their time and knowledge to bring it to the rest of us!
The only thing I would humbly ask is that if it is possible, please don't forget about those of us in the "more-money-than-good-sense" crowd. (Also known as A501 owners. )
--ChipSharpDotCom

A500 always has update before A501, which make me thinking shouldn't get the A501 before

Transformer will be getting ICS (no schedule yet)

Anonymous source in linked article. I don't believe it until I see the system update light up. Sorry. First of many of these sort of "reports" I am sure.
Pocket lint has been pretty good in the past. They also reported about upcoming 3.1 update back in May (the same author):
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/400...former-acer-iconia-a550-honeycomb-3-1-updates
So while I agree - that until I see notification popup on my device it's too early to celebrate - it's a good sign.
3.1 update and ICS are totally two different worlds. :/
Given the way ASUS has rolled regarding updates I would expect that once Google releases Honeycomb for tablets (remember they didnt even mention the Xoom) we will only be a couple of months behind.
I still won't be updating till Roach has had a chance to optimize ICS for us.
Tablet UI already built in ICS so it should be that hard for ASUS
http://androidapproved.com/item/ice-cream-sandwich-confirmed-to-have-a-tablet-interface/
As some people said before: looking at how frequently ASUS has updated the Transformer and has reacted very good to user input (selectable trackpad scroll direction and mouse pointer look as one example) and given the fact that the Transformer was the best selling Android tablet in 2011, I'm very confident, not to say 99% sure, that ASUS will update his first flagship tablet to ICS and will keep it updated for a year at minimum.
They know they established themselves some good reputation with their update politics and they won't risk to lose that again.
ASUS, you rule! thank you, thank you!
In the Android tablet market you have only three choices. You either lead, follow, or get out of the way. Asus is the front runner. I'm looking forward to ICS on my Transformer.

While the article is titled "Transformer to be first" with ICS, nowhere in the article does it say the Transformer will indeed be the first tablet to get ICS. It seems more like "Asus is the first manufacturer to say its tablet will get ICS" which doesn't really amount to much info.

I honestly don't care too much for ICS, so when it comes out it comes out. But with their speedy updates, I wouldn't be surprised if we get it before the year ends.

lol i think they made a mistake there. should be 2014.
On a more serious note, I think the support for ASUS is much better than Samsung. I traded my SGT 7 + $100 cash for a transformer. SGT 7 was such a heavily marketed flagship device and yet there's no support for ICS. Really ridiculous. Luckily the SGT 7 has great devs but still, lots of work have to be done by them in order for ICS to work on SGT 7.

We really need more threads with no news.
Feb/March can still mean tomorrow.
It will be here when it does.
Asus (and other manufacturers) will probably eventually learn to not make any promises whatsoever. Then any updates will just be a surprise.
I have a TF101 and I really don't feel Asus is required to provide me with an ICS update. I hope they do, but I can hardly make demands based on random Facebook/Twitter/forum posts.
this is funny and clische why are they even posting release dates ? If you dont know, why post IT?
Seriously? You need to post another topic on this? Terrible..
Sigh.... Worst PR department ever.
Asus isn't doing a very good job of making me want to be a return customer...
When is that Google branded Next Gen tab coming out again?
Words can't describe how much I don't care about ICS on my TF.
Think of this from a marketing angle: If Asus releases ICS simultaneously for TF101 and TF201 they will sell way less TF201s. Of course they stretch it as far as possible.
Ironically I have ICS on my ancient HTC Hero. My LG Optimus 3D isn't getting ICS until Q3 2012. LG doesn't even fix a bug that makes the phone miss a lot of calls and SMSes.
You think Asus customer service sucks? try LG!
ICS for my ancient LG Swift is ready for me to install thanks to the folks that make CM7. I only have to find time to install it. I think I won't wait for ICS on TF101 by Asus too.

I care about ICS because i heard some saying it increases much the responsiveness and general performance for the TF101, and I really want to make my new TF101 better.
Samsung is pretty bad with updates. Asus is doing good. Samsung/att just released gingerbread to the infuse 4g about two weeks ago. It was buggy and made the touch screen unresponsive. I went back to froyo.

They should hire paul Burton, he got ics working for us. It ain't perfect, but its leaps and bounds better than what Asus gave us by the end of 2011 as they promised.

Android 5: Jelly Bean Coming this Fall 2012

This could be really bad for us since two to three months after we get ice cream sandwich. Our tab will be out dated.
Or this could be greater news if Acer plans to support A500 to Jelly Bean.
Anyway hard to believe a tab is outdatedwithin 1 year of purchase. Any thoughts?
Most likely, if Acer makes the move to J.B. as fast as for I.C., we`ll have it in 2014

If our systems support Jelly Bean, we are better off. I read they are pretending the attrocious rollout of ICS didn't happen and are going to make sure JB goes to everything a lot quicker. Just hope that means our older devices as well...
It's the same as every mobile device these days, nothing to get excited or disappointed about. It's not as though they have lost functionality because some other, newer device has some new bits or bytes. If it worked for you when you bought it, chances are good it will be doing the same jobs for you next fall, whether it has JB, ICS, or HC. If you want to guarantee you have the latest and greatest for the years ahead,well, you will have to continually buy the latest and greatest.
This is stupid on Google's part. How many devices have ICS so far? At least give ICS its time and keep making J.B. better.

There were reports from way back before ics was launched that some planned features were being bumped to jellybean ... it was more important to get a unified core with missing features than to delay till it was all done ... as such it was always expected that jellybean would be the final stage of unification ...
Sent from my A200 using Tapatalk
Both Acer and Google have been pretty good about updates on our tablets. ICS was teased a long time ago... before the 3.2 and even 3.1 HC updates pushed. Google will release Jelly bean, and probably late decemeber or early january, we'll see it pushed by Acer. Worrying NOW whether OUR tablets will get it, when ICS isn't even out yet, is a waste of energies.
(but, Acer, please please PLEASE get some new naming pattern. Jelly Bean? Really? "Hey, Fred, I have the new Apple MOUNTAIN LION operating system! What are you running over there?" "Jelly Bean, teeheehee!!!". Oy.)

Would be great to get it on our tabs, but I doubt it.. sadness.
I hear the main features of Jelly Bean is the ability to dual boot. And the main reason for Google to launch ASAP is that when Windows 8 tablets comes out they should pack android with it.
Heard any other features for Jelly Bean?
Android 4.1 Jelly bean (Details and specs)

I hope you're right. I came here to get my ICS, because acer hadn't delivered after 6 months. Just kept releasing newer Tablets. I appreciate all the work that the Dev's do for us on thisa site, and consider xda the first stop for anything that I want clarified.:good: for my A500. I'll have my fingers crossed that the Gifted Team of dev's here give us JB. I like the A500, but for Acer as a company to trust, Next tablet gonna be an Asus I think and hopefully a dual boot Android and Win 8, now cool would that be.

Uh, since when is mid-July in the autumn (fall)?
So, to sum things up...
I LOVE MY TABLET!
>>>a new OS is released
I HATE MY TABLET! I NEED THE NEW OS!!!
>>>a new OS is released
Repeat as necessary
Today it is worth watching the Google I/O that they will talk abot the new codecs the JB will support. Note that JB will support NEON Instructions. Isn't that the only limit that prevent us from watching 720p mkv videos? I mean that maybe with the new OS we will be able to do so. If that's true then that's awsome because it is the only feature that I miss.
I thought what was limiting us for 720p MKV's was the Tegra 2 and not codecs? I thought the Exynos w/ Mali could play MKV's easily vs the Tegra2.
Tegra 3 is supposed to play MKV's.

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.

update or not update
just depends on how popular is the device
see galaxy s2
Samsung gave us our beloved 10.1 tab
We cherished it loved it so great so fab.
Then came along the samsung galaxy tab two
It's better faster smarter Samsung said **** you.
They made promises to give us android icecream.
But it's was all bull**** just a big daydream.
Samsung don't make promises you can't ****in keep.
Instead you made us sad and dishounored and weep.
Thank you Samsung for promising us our icecream.

The sense of update entitlement that is starting to grip the entire Android community is becoming really, really, tiresome.
For phones going form GB to ICS I get it. ICS is a HUGE leap from GB. For those with Honeycomb on tablets I have to ask. What does ICS offer YOU that you would actually use day to day that Honeycomb doesn't already offer.
Not looking to troll here. Looking for honest answers. ICS is not that radically different from Honeycomb.
On a less serious note, this thread made me laugh my ass off.
Incidentally I agree completely. Last phones Vibrant, then GS2. Tablet G-Tab 10.1. After the updating mess on Vibrant and the delays of the GS2 I now own a HTC S. I am done with Samsung.

Its more efficient as a whole. Better monitoring potential. Most importantly for me, need drivers so TouchWiz can be removed with all working hardware. This changes the game from a performance perspective.

I can't speak for others but I want ICS because I'm hoping Shamsung would get it right and put out a firmware that actually works right and isn't defective. I love my Tab now with Task14 and Pershoot's kernel but I shouldn't have to use all that to have a smooth working tablet. They sold me a $600 fine piece of hardware with a crummy OS. I'm also hoping that even if they don't get it right the source will help devs keep developing for this device.
Haters gonna hate

i seriously don't know what you guys are on about.
out of all the manufacterers out there, sammy is basically leading when we start talking about updates.
So wtf? I'm pretty sure each one of you has a life and if by chance you don't have one, go flash AOKP and/or CM9
