ICONIA TAB Update Enhancement

Had this app installed since March, but now it is may the 4th (be with you) and no ICS. When the website says Canada should have ICS on April 27th, I expect to see it 27th, or 28th. Acer should have enough experience to handle this better, and users who manually check should be offered the update. Moreover Acer needs to communicate WHY some users are not getting the updates, is it the app? Is it registration? Queues? IP address? App doesn't work, so 1 star. Received update on May 7th. 3 stars, lack of communication. I would still support Acer, but this is an area for improvement.

hello, acer program developer, android ics alot of bugs which causing the tablet easily hang, lag, incompatible and etc. we hope acer developer get this feedback and rolling out stable version of android jellybean for acer A500 tablet, i believe many users facing the same issues. acer A500 once very popular and many ppl own it, as per now, there are some users still using it...we hope acer developer willing to spend little time to roll out stable OTA android jellybean for A500 tablet. your great work will be appreciated, thank you.

camera fritzed out after about a month. and at times it is slow - feels like it has less processing power than my LG phone. on the plus side, its tough to find a tablet with a full-sized USB port so I'll rate you avg.

Thanks for the update, but there are serious issues with the newest Stock ROM. For example, there is rampant screen flickering, failure to wake from sleep, frequent crashing, and total lack of GPS locks. We early adopters of your first Android Tablet would really appreciate a fix to these issues. Perhaps with 4.0.4? Please guys.

What the hell Samsung is better than Acer if we will update this no game will work! Worst don't buy Acer! Improve your iconia tab updates its horrible specially for iconia A500

Don't leave negative reviews for ics updates. This enhances the update experience and works as designed. Less than 7% of android devices have ics so quit bitching. Acer, thank you for another great product

Constantly getting "unfortunately, the process android.process. media has stopped" since buying 18 months ago. Now I am getting "network coverage is currently poor" when trying to system update. Not worth the aggravation.

This tablet blows and acer won't fix the problems. It can not handle ICS at all!!! The screen scrambles when your using or exiting apps and it freezes while typing as I am now. Overall don't waste your money and don't trust acer!

My landscape mode doesn't work now without a full device reset, I've been dealing with this issue for months. I'll never buy another acer product, and I'm near selling this thing to buy a tablet made by people who actually beta-test their updates.

Bought a brand new A500, system update available so downloaded this app and accepted the update. Now the pad is junk, even Gmail doesn't work properly. So after paying my hard earned cash for an Acer, ended up throwing in a corner after only a week and went out and bought a Xoom. Never, ever again Acer....never! That was 2 years ago, Xoom working perfectly and just bought an ASUS Fonepad 7 which works brilliantly

Ever since the ICS update this tab has been ruined. I think Acer should make it right. I still have not seen a update past ICS. ICS also ruined my galaxy s two cell phone. Acer at least let us try jelly bean. Seems its not even a option. They all want you buy new tab. Finally figured out could get flash third party. Had flash before ICS update.

Signal strength is too low at 5 bars standing right next to broweser? OK. Should I climb inside of the router? Not sure how to do that but maybe that is what it takes to make Acer see me. I own several Acer products...they have gone out of their way to lose me as a customer. Keep up the great work Acer! Thanks for nothing...

Since I have updated my Acer iconia a500/501 my screen orientation has ceased to work. I cannot switch from portrait to landscape of vise versa unless I use an app the forces it into one of those orientations. I also can no longer play any games that involve using my tablet for direction such as racing games or temple run. Please fix this bug very soon, if it weren't for this bug I would totally give the ics update 5 stars easy.

A week ago I bought an Acer Iconia -it had Android 3.1 installed. Yesterday, my A500 gave me notification of an upgrade. Having read some of the comments here I was unsure whether to go ahead. I did the upgrade to Android 4.03. The upgrade went without a hitch.

It does absolutely nothing and its nowhere to be found on my tablet but is apparently installed would have gave 0 stars if possible so you've got away lucky with 1

One star, due to no update available. I've asked at the Wireless Wave where this was purchased & offered to us, all they had to say was, I had to restore it back to factory/default settings? But I have so much on here so far, would be a complete waste of time if I still don't get the update! Can someone help me? I don't want to have to resort to resetting my tablet! I'm still on the 3.2 version & I had this tablet for over a year now!

When it comes to updates, Acer is slow and lacking. I also have an Acer laptop and the same is true with it also. They take a long time past the point when other manufactures have tried and tested updates out.

I can't say that this update gave me anything I wanted. It did give me something I didn't want. It won't wake up after having been asleep for any length of time. We now have to power it off if it is not going to be used for a bit. I wish I could uninstall!!

As others have said, tablet will be asleep for about 15 seconds then will lock the screen off requiring a force shut down and reboot. Was clearly never tested once by ACER

My Acer laptop went bad and now the tablet giving me hell, as if that wasn't enough, now they can't even get the software right? I'm getting this error ( system coverage is currently poor please move to a better location with better coverage). Oh forget it I'm going to ASUS.

I loved my A500 tablet before I upgraded to this version. This is the first review i have ever written. YesterdayI upgraded, what a mistake. It is now so slow and it continuously loses web pages, including this one. I can't connect to a lot of linked sites like Bejewel Blitz from facebook. All I get is a block that looks like a Lego with question marks on the side. Does anyone know how I can go back to the older edition?

i love it ,it is awesome been waiting for it for a min. and it was worth the wait,the only thing that i didn't see in the update is the screen shot and the face recognition,where it suppose to unlock with ur face lol but other then that well just beautyful,ty android and Acer .

Im new at these things,but I can't do anything on this tablet. 4.1 is buggy,screen goes black. I almost want to sell it for a better tablet from apple or Samsung. 5 stars,if fixed.

Firstly I do not work for Acer There is a bit of confusion about what this is; in summary, this is like the auto updater in Microsoft windows. Any updates for the tablet's operating system come through this app. They include security patches, as well as updates to improve and enhance your user experience. Any updates for this app is to fix the updater so that your tablet won't be 'bricked' This app runs in the background and will not take up memory Not installing this app would be a stupid thing to do, as it's like not installing an antivirus on your computer

Its so stupit my stuff deleted by it self and my apps don't work no more I will never get Acer a Gen

"Network coverage is currently poor" oh really? My "strong" signal is still not good enough? Can't update to ICS making this tablet worthless to me- even reset the entire tablet-- what a waste

It says here that Network coverage is poor and need to move to a location with better area I've been doing it but still doesn't update. Do I need to turn on my GPS? For it to work?

This is poor on the part of Acer. If they have no plan of releasing 4.1 update, people should discourage Acer products. Acer should think about the retaining existing customers.

Keep getting poor network connection error regardless of where I try! Yet I can steam movies with out issue!

I don't understand how this works! So frustrating. It doesn't given an option to update or uninstall. It does not show up in my apps list. I am not able to update my tablet. I spent so much money on this tablet!! Argh!

gives no assistance or change to the fact that my a500 is stuck on 3.2 will not update.

I cannot get my tablet software updated from version 3.2.1.. get error network not strong enough. That is invalid. Cannot get software update this App does nothing.

I can't say for sure exactly, but I updated this on my A500 and after I restarted the tablet a few hours after I had some yummy ICS delivered and waiting! Many welcomed changes and I just started looking around. So if you have a A500 and don't have ICS yet you might want to update this asap. For those who are leaving a low rating on this app because it didn't give you ICS right away are misinformed. Don't rate the app low just because ICS wasn't ready! Not the apps fault. Iconia > Transformer !

Very since I did the update my tablet has been a complete mess. It is not work properly at all. The volume is not working right. The volume keeps getting stuck on mute. The screen randomly starts blinking rapidly and freezes. The apps keep shutting down on me. I cant even get my email to stay open long enough to read anything. Constantly getting force close/not responding msgs. Its so bad that it many times won't even let me send the report. So frustrated! What am I supposed to do now?

An all round satisfying release. This update was a long time coming, but the reduction of system hangs and major UI improvements speak for themselves. Its commendable that you're still working on this series of tab despite the release of superior hardware. I would rate it 5, but the lag in releasing this update brought my opinion down a notch. Such a long dev time should've brought with it a few more nifty features and fixes.

What's up with the browser. It always hangs up and give me stupid error messages when loading. Wait send error report or close. Over over and over. I sometimes hit wait three or four times before it finally works. Other browsers work ok . for awhile then same thing. Please fix the browser that came with my iconia a500

They are not offering a501 customers ICS. They ignore their customers complaints and have not issued an explanation or apology for their behaviour. I will never buy an Acer product again. I should have stuck with Apple. On top of all this they,make you pay for customer service... crazy. I would have rated this a zero if I could have. Jan 2014. Still the same issue and they have not responded at all. This is garbage and they should be ashamed of their behavior.

Nothing but problems since I got this tablet, screen flickering, freezing, browser crashes (opera, dolphin, and stock) and to top it all off one of the speakers just stopped working. Don't know why I ever buy Acer, but never again, just ordered Google/ASUS Nexus 7.

Great update.. my tablet is faster and the animations are smother. The new inbuilt apps of the ICS are much better than the old version. I would really recommend this update. The update may not appear straight away. It might show up the next day after installing this app.
