jelly bean update - Acer Iconia Tab A100

Bhargav Pecchetti: Hi, my name is Bhargav Pecchetti. How may I help you?
My **** is Big: my **** is too big
Bhargav Pecchetti: I am sorry to hear that
Bhargav Pecchetti: Anything else I can help you at?
My **** is Big: Yes
( everything in italics isn't true )
My **** is Big: i have an acer a 100 tablet
My **** is Big: i recently heard that android 4.1(jelly bean) has come out.
My **** is Big: will there be an official update to my tablet
Bhargav Pecchetti: Sure I'll help you with the required information.
My **** is Big: ok
Bhargav Pecchetti: I understand that you are inquiring about the Jelly bean update for your A100 tablet, am I correct?
My **** is Big: yes
Bhargav Pecchetti: Thank you for the confirmation.
Bhargav Pecchetti: I have checked and see that the Jelly bean update is still in development as soon as we release the update you will be able to download the update for your tablet,
yessssssssssssss
hehehehe totally trolled her with my name

Ever think that since you were obviously trying to troll them, they just BSed you so you'd get all excited, run to the forums post that we're getting it, then never get it?
Case in point, the G2x at one point was said to get ICS, this was like a year ago, not only did they never get it, they pulled it completely and they never will (officially).
Asking about an update to a new OS this quickly will almost always result in bad information, they could have confused it with the A110 instead of the A100 or considered them the same thing, when they aren't.
However if it's true, that is great news. We'll get Jellybean next year.

We won't ever get an official update to jellybean. Guarantee it.

why?
I suggest you ask her yourself
our hardware obviously supports it. if my optimus one can boot and run it with resonable quickness this can run perfectly

The reason a lot doubt we'll get the update is most devices get 1 major update, and we had ours, that coupled with new devices replacing ours means we hit EOL. That of course doesn't mean we won't, but that's the way it usually plays out.
We can sit and speculate all we want, we won't know for sure until Acer releases a final list with us on or off it.

My reasoning, is considering how long ics took to get to us, by the time they realesed it android would be on 5.1.

And that's Asus. It really is up to Acer if they want to spend the money developing it for an EOL device. Its not a matter of will it run, we proved it will, its up to Acer to decide its worth their time and money, simple as that. Can't compare different devices from different companies for this kind of stuff.
Especially Asus against Acer.

i was chatting with the acer support and this is my chat log
Vinayaprasad: Hi, my name is Vinayaprasad. How may I help you?
franze roque: hi will ace tablets get an upgrade when android 5.0 jelly bean come out
franze roque: acer
franze roque: not ace
Vinayaprasad: Yes, Franze.
franze roque: when will that update come out
Vinayaprasad: I will provide you the information.
franze roque: ok thanks
Vinayaprasad: You are welcome.
Vinayaprasad: By validating the SNID number (xxxxxxxxxxx), I can see that your tablet is covered under standard limited warranty.
franze roque: yes
Vinayaprasad: If my understanding is correct you would like to know about the Android 5.0 Jelly Bean update.
franze roque: i would like to know
Vinayaprasad: Franze, please note that, we have not yet planned for this new update. Once we planned it, you will get a popup on your tablet.
franze roque: ok, but we will be getting it right?
Vinayaprasad: If we release this update for A100 tablets, you will be getting it. Unfortunately, we do not have much information about this.

Might have confused the poor rep, jellybean and android 5.0 are two different things jellybean is 4.1

By the time we would get an official update, it would probably be obsolete.

Because jellybean isn't 5.0 and we have NO idea what kind of hardware will be around when we do hit 5.0 lol it will likely run, but its anyone's guess how well.

Ice Cream Sandwich Spotted on SGSII

Great news! We can only hope our neglected E4GT gets some ICS love soon too.
EDIT: Apparently it's been said this is just an ICS launcher...
Still some pretty cool mods though hey! I wouldn't mind the fast switch program he had. Its the same one I got on my galaxy tab 10.1 ICS will get here eventually amd when it does I hope it changes the android expereince with lots of eye candy and fun features. Hope it really takes advantage of our 1gig ram and fast internal storage and is coded specificly for duel core cpu's. How sweet would thay be !
Our phone is neglected? It's been out for a month. Hardly time to consider it neglected.

I think they are talking in general the SGS2 has been out for a few months now it's just new for the US market.
there is a ICS launcher that looks just like that and the status bar is wrong i think its the launcher with a themed bar
I could not careless about the ICS Sprint would push to us. I want the ICS that the devs bring us.

When ICS does come out, will this end up for sure on our E4GT?

Google WANTS Ice Cream Sandwich
It was my understanding that Google wants as many devices as possible to be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich as soon as possible to push developers in to moving their current applications to this platform and that Google basically wants previous versions including Honey Comb to go the way of the Dodo or the Dinosaur. So this could mean that we would see an upgrade fairly quickly for our devices so as to reduce fragmentation.

All that tells us it they're working on an update (which we already knew, since they have known bugs they're trying to resolve), and it's full of placeholder text. The only version is mentions is 2.3.3, and we're on 2.3.4. So clearly not an indication of any actually useful information.

Thanks - I couldn't figure out why they thought that link had anything to do with ICS.
Of course if they really wanted a shock and awe campaign tomorrow, just imagine if the top 10 Android devices all got an update to ICS tomorrow
I would rather have to wait a bit for good ROMs than have everything the first week so we don't have to listen to the "Where's the Jelly Bean update " talk. My phone is perfect and will only get better. Its not like every CM7 nightly is perfect. It takes a lot of nightlies to get a stable release.

[Q] HTC newer version than G Nexus?

Is it true?
HTC Sensation and Sensation XE are being updated today to Android 4.0.3
And my G Nexus is 4.0.2
I thought Nexus would be first with updates?
> # doesn't mean greatness.
enjoy what you have..don't act like a kid
the day that the sensation will not receive android Jelly Bean and Key Lime Pie, the sensation's users will cry more than you
Maybe not for you, bur for me it does!
I bought my Nexus because everywhere I read about it was said that Nexus-phones get updates first from Vanilla Android.
And now HTC even ported their Sense over it?
Im starting to regret that I bought my Nexus. My SE Arc maybe wasnt that fast, but was more thinner and took much better pictures!
I dont mean to act like a kid.
Just dissapointed of all bull*¤&% about Nexus.

Several tablets, like the Transformer Prime, have been on 4.0.3 for weeks. You were guaranteed timely updates for the useful life of your phone, which is about 18 months. Not first.

Good play on version #
As more phone makers start to roll out ICS you'll see more and more version #'s, not necessarily equating to any tangible improvements.
This is a silly thread with a silly concern. Go root your phone.

Then sell your Nexus and go back. Nobody is making you keep it. you can root your phone and put 4.0.3 or even a 4.0.4 rom on it. If you dont want to root you phone you can unlock it, temporarily boot CWM and flash the stock 4.0.4 OTA.

well, you are acting like a kid. grow up.
I'm sorry you don't like your Nexus, but no one is forcing you to use it. Feel free to sell it and buy any HTC phone if you'd like. Truth is that the Nexus will still be the first to be updated to vanilla Android, because no other phone in existence will have it. You go buy the HTC phone it will have 4.0.3 and that's amazing! But it has Sense, and when it comes to the next update, you'll be *****ing again that its not coming and you'll want your Nexus back.
The fact that you'd consider leaving the Nexus on 4.0.2 for an HTC phone on 4.0.3 because its x.x.1 higher leads me to believe that you don't understand how great having a Nexus is.
I dont understand this impatience. The nexus will get the 4.0.4 update, likely very soon. Google is just finishing everything. They are not sitting around doing nothing. And they are not purposely holding back. They WANT us to have the update. Its just taking time.

Most of the big babies of the forum crying foul are from the now generation. They do not understand things like patience, or something 'taking time.'
As far as complaining you don't have 4.0.3, what improvements in .3 are you waiting for over .2 exactly?

Speaking of the "now generation" when are we getting a new BAMF? Jk man.

Last I heard was next week, which will (hopefully) mark the first launch of the Maguro version.
Fine, Ill go rooting then.
But you guys really help me out if I dont succeed!
AFAIK theres a better radio (which is really useless today) in 4.0.4 or 4.0.3
If you really dont want your nexus i'll take it... Mine is in the shop getting wifi fixed. Had to RMA and i'm really missing it. I'm stuck using this brick of a Dell Streak, not having my nexus is really bad. But on the bright side I still have my Gtab running 4.0.3!

Or maybe it is a unsatisfied owner feeling like venting/discussing the very current (and yes well covered) subject with other owners in a DISCUSSION FORUM.
Sorry but in my opinion... someone that jumps right into someone else's conversation (it is obviously not a conversation for you, you make it clear you disrespect the comment and submission) and yells "troll" is him/herself the troll.
Grandma didn't say it exactly like this but it went like this...
"if you don't have anything good to say... then STFU"
Something like that.
By the way OP... I hear ya, so do a lot of others. It pisses me off every time I see a press release mentioning some new ICS unit and here we are... still waiting. I rooted and am using a 4.0.4 that makes it "usable" but it still has crappy phone/data coverage/reception and Verizon has been promising that "patch" since early in January well before the launch day buyer's return deadline. We shouldn't have to root and take chances like that... lucky for me I'm an IT engineer and am comfortable with it but I would have been much happier with a 'bone stock" unit that works right.
There are a lot of threads on this... but then again there are always a lot of threads on everything so... whatever.
Verizon is dropping the ball big time... my only hope is that the update they come out with will be better that the leaked 4.0.4 and that is what is taking so long... and at this point in time is still not an excuse.
Im trololo bcoz im talking the truth? I bought nexus device coz i had enough of flashing my galaxy s! I just wanna have fast, stable and bug free software.
It's definitely weird that the Galaxy Nexus is lagging behind update wise. But at the same time, it's a Nexus...if you're not on the latest OS version you're doing it wrong.

Luckily you're in the right place if you are tired of waiting for the OTA.

Unfortunately there's not much we can do for the official OTA though, for that you'll need to contact Google or Verizon.

Nexus, ICS, JB

Anyone else a little upset by this "unfair" model?
If you buy a Nexus today it comes with Jelly Bean.
If you've bought the Nexus from the Play Store, even a week ago, you won't get it for about two more weeks.
I understand it's only a two week wait, but if the update is available and shipping (and you gave it to attendees at Google IO) why not make it available for everyone especially on the official "Google Phone?"
Anyone else a bit confused by this?
not really, root, install jb, be happy - is what most others have chosen instead of their rants

I think the only ones being updated to JB, OTA anyways, is the ones handed out at the conference. The product page for the Nexus still says - "Ships with Android 4.0". And the current build they are receiving is only a "Preview" build, probably not stable enough for public consumption.
The people getting JB now are getting a test build that isn't fully completed and is only for people who went to the I/O conference. Go buy a ticket next year and enjoy the goodies, otherwise wait for 2 freaking weeks.
in a but confused, where does it state if I buy a phone today when it gets her in two days that it will have jb on it?

What's the point in having Jelly Bean so fast anyway? Other than the hype.
I flashed the Jelly Bean ROM.... used it for 30 minutes and then went back to CM9 for features.
Not to mention there are A LOT OF APPS with no support for Jelly Bean. Meaning app functionality will not work and force close.
There is absolutely no reasoning for be rushing for this. The OTA link was a leak anyways, it was never fully released by Google.

It's a stock ROM, people don't flash it for the features, first off.
Second, what apps were you having issues with, so far only TiBu and Apex are the only ones not working for me.
Third, the reason for rushing is so that everyone can go to their favorite hang out spot and brag to all their friends that they have JB.
It was a leak, but the leak allows us full access to something that has not been officially released which always makes us nerds scream like school girls.

New Galaxy Nexus

So I ordered a galaxy nexus the first day of I/O after the price drop and the announcement they would ship with Jellybean. I got mine an hour ago and surprise it has 4.0.4. with no update available. WTF. So I try multiple times to call google support and it hangs up on me every time. Just thought I would let you guys know, it may not actually come with JB. I'm pissed off right now.
From what I've seen and read, they announced it to be the first phone to have jellybean. I didn't see any indication that it would ship with 4.1 Only the freebie phones were expected to have JB preinstalled
Just flash the new build or wait a few days for the OTA to come in.

They never said it would ship with JB. The Nexus 7 ships with JB and the participants to the conference received units that would update to a "preview" build of JB. Again, they never said the Galaxy Nexus was going to ship with JB at this time. They also clearly stated that they would be updated OTA in mid-July.
its not supposed to come with Jellybean officially until mid july. where did Google say it will be shipped with JB?
Maybe I dreamed I heard that but they sure do make it look like it does if you look at the product page.

Its a developer version and not the final product. I would advise doing that unless you want to hold his hand on maintaining his device when it comes to flashing.
I rather keep another person's phone stock.

Thanks but we're both experienced with the end-to-end process and have done it many times. I was just saying that as a "surprise" for him I would have it done already since I know that's the first thing he would do anyway.
But yes... in general I would agree. I wouldn't do this for a regular user who doesn't care about unlock/root/etc.

And you want to waste Google's phone support time with this too? WOW.
JUST.
FREAKING.
WOW.
I was going to get the S3 for my wife, but considering the lower price of GN (by $200) and minor differences in features and functions that would not mean much to my wife, I have decided to get this phone instead. The prospect of putting the new Jelly Bean OS really did tip the balance for my decision, though. I like that buttery smooth operation of Jelly Bean. I'll probably put the custom ROM on hers before giving it to her. I don't think providing customer service for her would be a problem for me~
My advice, patiance. Let's just hope they keep providing the URL's. So we can download and manually flash the rom.

You could have gotten a non nexus phone and gotten jellybean right about when key lime pie comes out... plus Google actually lives up to their ota estimates. Enjoy your nexus and be patient, you'll still have it long before any non nexus phone.

I love that we are getting JB now just after a couple months the rest of the world started getting ICS.
In 2-3 weeks there will be released versions of JB. It seems like a pretty short wait for the official version. If you are running stock, I don't think it is worth putting the hacked version on your phone unless you know what you are doing.

So I ordered a galaxy nexus the first day of I/O after the price drop and the announcement they would ship with Jellybean. I got mine an hour ago and surprise it has 4.0.4. with no update available. WTF. So I try multiple times to call google support and it hangs up on me every time. Just thought I would let you guys know, it may not actually come with JB. I'm pissed off right now.
