This A500 was great when I first bought it. Now it's a piece of work. If I'm on it for 10 minutes it starts acting up. Takes long to focus in, everything is blurry for a second or two. It gets aggravating having to deal with this. I am very disappointed Acer.
This isn't an Acer forum so they will never see your post
I'm very happy
After some time reading the posts on xda A500 (which turned me into a flashaholic. Thanks) I'm very happy with my machine, it runs faster and smoother than most modern machines. All my friends are always asking "how does it do that"
So I shout "Thanks acer and xda" I shout cause acer will never read this.
My phone and my tablet have never worked better, all I need to do now is find a rom for my girlfriend and flash her.

My A500 is not running well at all, it takes a long time to open pages and flashes some sort of what looks like interference across the screen sometimes. It's gotten slower. I was wondering if you could give me an idea what you've done to yours that makes it faster and smoother. I would love mine to run better. I've had it for quite a while and love to use it, but not so much anymore.

I've had my Hero for a little over a week and on day 1 I found this forum and rooted. Ever since I've tried just about every 2.1 based ROM on the forums. Thanks XDA for creating a monster. After a year of having 3 phones I wasn't ever happy with I have probably my keeper. Android is just so much better.

You have definitely found the best place for Hero Tech and modification! Welcome to the group!
Hi Craig. My name is Matt and I have been flashing for 6 months. It has taken up my life lately and I have ignored important things such as Call of Duty. Every time I try to quit I have a relapse and flash again. I feel like I will never want to stop... I am addicted to flashing. I am a flashaholic.
So do we even want a 12 step program or do we al lhave a healthy addiction?

My fixes for ROMS is gettin so bad I'm buying multiple different phones in back alleys and loading up a different load on each one. It HURTS MAN!
While i flash alot. nowhere near as bad when i was a wm user..my wife always was yelling.. when is your phone ever gonna be fixed,lol at least with android all the roms pretty much work great.. so not as much time wasted installing this or that as with wm..
hi im chris and im def an addict for android. was not sure about rooting at first but always checked out latest roms until i finally got the nerve and did it and im hooked line and sinker rom and electronics junkie 4 life....
Hi my name is Anony, and I'm a flashaholic.
It all started when I was looking for a way to tether, and stumbled across the Race Condition. After a week of using it, I thought to myself "There has to be a better way!" Finally, after talking to the right google search boxes, I stumbled across XDA. First it started with Fresh ROM 1.0. Then Fresh 1.1. Then the Dev 2.1 builds. Over to Aloysius 1.0. Then to DamageControl. Then here I am, sitting pretty on Toast's sauce. Thinking about going back to DC 2.07.2 though. I miss my camera :[.
The real question is how many times can I flash this thing before the flash rom wears out!
Hi I'm Bert,
I'm addicted to Flashing ROMs/Dev-Rom testing on my HTC Hero. I have been doing this since Flipz introduced me to Freshhh... Now I can't remember what life is without flashing... I have lost much sleep and can not wait for my next 'fix'. I know I have a problem because my wife is always complaining to me also...
P.S. The 'F5' key on my keyboard is un-readable now all the paint has worn off, I'm scared that pretty soon I know it will have a hole right through it...

Do what I did with mine. Get her a Hero, then you get twice the flashing.
You can't lie to me! This is more like a den of enablers than a 12-step support group. I bet all you addicts have 2 Windows open; this one, and a second with the fresh toast thread open, so that you have something to read while you wait for the updated sauce.
Don't get me wrong, I'm right there with you....I'm just saying. Besides, rehab is for quitters.

I have come to the conclusion that the reason some users are having problems with their phones is this.....
ITS YOUR OWN FAULT!
Leave the phone the way Samsung intended it and 90% of you wont have problems
Dont get me wrong i was one of these people.....Got the phone...was really happy with it and then i started to work my magic lol! New launcher here, different widget there and so on and so on.
Ended up with terrible battery life and then with a phone that got so hot it shut itself down!
Since that time i have reset the phone and kept it completly standard...what a difference...battery last 2 days again and the phone is fast and cool!
So, moral of the story...leave it alone and just enjoy the phone as it is....if you dont you only have yourself to blaim
so endith the lesson

Dont get me wrong im all for changing my phone to the way i want it etc but all it ever does is bugger the thing up!
If the phone is left as it comes out of the shop then the chance of problem is far reduced.
This phone has been refined so far that in standard form there very little wrong with it. Problems arise when we start messing with it to much.

I agree and i never said it was perfect
but this phone is so much better than many and all the niggles are getting sorted the more android and samsung develops.
The point i was making is that the majority of problems on here are not because of some minor bug...more likely down to user error or the result of other apps etc that have been added.

not the case
You're making a sweeping generalisation based on absolutely zero evidence. The worst kind of troll.
Are the Orange FC problems caused by user error? No - KE2 firmware is bugged. Is the appearance and activation of Wifi sharing user error? No, its a bug. Is the unexplained battery drain and high Android OS use user error? No.
This thread contributes absolutely nothing. It only serves to aggravate those of us with issues that we're trying to resolve. Is it a great phone? Yes. But right now it had issues. You become an early adopter, you accept that. And you try to make the product better.

Numerous complaints about that
im no expert and dont profess to be but from my own experience when i had lots of widgets, different launcher etc installed my phone struggled to last the day. Since my reset to standard as of now the phone is still on 78% and thats after being unplugged since 8am.

Seriously.... am i the only person annoyed by people proclaiming that a new tablet/ software update is actually faster than the older unit? This bugs the crap out of me. Of course its going to seem faster its a brand new fresh out the box/ no apps downloaded/ tons of memory unused/ little brother hasn't used it as his own personal Frisbee tablet. We should have a rule that if your going to post something about a new tablet or upgrade that you either thoroughly put it through some decent testing ( not play with it for 2 days and claim its gods gift to earth) or reset your old tablet and test how they perform on the same OS under the SAME conditions. So no more of this "OOOOO i just got the new update its SOOOOOOO much faster and smoother than....." no **** Sherlock everything seems faster after an update. Thanks .

The gaul of some people to come here and complain because THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE DOING. Go hack your 2000 dollar flat screen tv to have android run on it... Then come back here. Or put a Mustang engine in your Toyota.
Oh, I'm sorry, there was a MAJOR BUG in the ICS kernel code that was bricking devices. Damn the developers for working around it and making it work and doing EVERYTHING in their power to warn you. Damn them.
