I get the message, "Network coverage too poor" when I click the "check for updates" button on my Acer A100. My network coverage is not poor, strong signal from my router that's right next to me. No other device has this Problem. I have seen other people have this issue, and I'm becoming frustrated by the lack of support From Acer on the ICS updates. Does anyone have any information on this problem? I kind of want to smash my A100 right now if I'm being honest... haha
Hi,
today i have the same issue as yours.
Don't think of a defective tablet.
this mornig at 1AM it was ok but without update
Yeah I have the same issue here.
Found out about it this morning, so I left it ALL DAY but those morons at Acer don't work fast now do they. It isn't that hard to maintain and deploy an update..
Somehow they still manage to mess it up. -.-
I too have this problem. I'm a firm believer its an Acer issue with there servers.
meXdroidMod!
Same here.
Early A100 Gen1 owner (pre-BlackFriday deal). Running the .012 leak since it first came out. Been checking System Update for days and getting "Up To Date" results but no OTA. Since late last night that's change to this new 'poor connection' error.
Other tricks I've tried include plugging in AC and removing all previous update.zip files from the external SD.
Might revert to stock HC and see what happens.

I'm having the same problem as well.
OTA checkin.acer.futuredial.com
I tried the OTA update checker, and it came back with an issue that it could not resolve the server name checkin.acer.futuredial.com. This is indicative of either the server being completely down, or there is a DNS problem.

I've reverted to a full factory reset of out-of-the-box HC 3.2 (via the power/volume/lock-rocking method).
Device is restored to HC 3.2 Gen1 but still no OTA available.
Meh.
Having the same issue -_-...
"network coverage is currently poor. please move to a location with better coverage to continue"
it even says this right beside the router
I hope we don't all get the Acer shaft
Still getting the Network Coverage too poor sign.
At first, I got it yesterday when i tried to proxy to Canada for my update since the Canadians were getting their update and I'm technically a Canadian on vacation.
I got "up to date" in Asia.
Now I'm getting the network coverage too poor even without the proxy. I hope that means I'm in line for an update when they fix this bug?
The network coverage issue seems to be resolved now for me. Check again!

No dice in Seattle. Still getting 'network coverage sukz fer yooz' running stock 3.2.1 Gen1.
At least we know the issue will resolve on it's own and there's nothing special you have to do. Mine was giving that error for two days and I didn't do anything to my a100 in that time.

I just had a chat with an acer L1 and all he did was send me a link to the instructions for preparing an A500 for the update. I mentioned earlier trying to use the OTA check application on my PC and it can't seem to reach the update server, so it's definitely not anyone's internet or Wi Fi connection.
still having these issues on my tab. I'll keep checking back. I hope this gets resolved soon!

I don't have an a500. But i heard a500 owners can get an update to get ics. Iconia tab update enhancement - at the android Market.

Got the same error yesterday using my home's Wifi which is freakin 10Mbps, that ain't poor network coverage. Then I used my phone to tether (3G speed) and it stopped complaining but no dice on the ICS update...
Got tired of waiting for Acer, so I flashed the leaked ICS, rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM recovery, it's working flawlessly now... Take that slow arse Acer support!!!

edit: can't post links, too much noob.
go to google code, search for -- Issue 38563: Upgrade to 4.1.2 broke tethering --
My tethering appears to have gone to crap since 4.1.2
There are quite a few variables so I'm not sure where the problem is, on top of that the issue is not 100% consistent.
It appears that when I am not tethered I get a decent ping on my phone (150ms, 95%)
Shortly after initiating a tether my connection goes straight to hell (300-3000ms 50%)
My laptop is often even worse than my phone.
This is usually with a full 5 bars of 'H'.
I'm gathering the ping stats from my phone with terminal emulator.
I'm using a MacBook Air.
I will try to reproduce the issue with my nexus 7 when I have some spare time.
Anyone else experiencing something similiar?

I, like many others have had this problem since 4.1.2, rolled back to 4.1.1 and WiFi tethering worked again. Back to 4.1.2, stopped working again. Installed 4.2 on Gnex yesterday hoping for fix but still no good.
As 4.1.2 is "old hat" now I have started new issue at Google for 4.2 here
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39618
Please anybody with same problem go there and add to report.
DO NOT turn it into a *****ing thread like so many here on xda.!!! The item to which luck02 referred for 4.1.2 at code.google.com is just full of twats ranting about their phone suppliers charges for data and crap like that.
code.google.com is to report faults and bugs and by everybody contributing pertinent information maybe Google will look for a fix. Trolling and whinging does nothing but obscure the facts...... please respect this. Just tell them model number, build and describe fault - thanks
Well there is definitely some ranting and twats involved but to my mind that's just part and parcel of being on the internet. Ignore and contribute as you can. Has anyone tried the CM build on the GNEX? Also, has anyone confirmed / denied whether third party wifi tether applications resolve the issue (requires root)?
Actually even more importantly, has anyone isolated where the breakage is actually occurring? I'm assuming it's something in the drivers / networking layer that is screwing up the routing between incoming data and the wifi layer...
I will probably downgrade if nothing else works.
So I got frustrated and rooted / installed clockwork recovery.
Moved to CM 10 and still have the same issue. I'm thinking it's actually a carrier issue for me at this point.
My carrier term expires in January and I'll probably go to a different carrier then.
Will follow up with more information as I have it, I may roll back to an older version of CM to confirm the problem is still occurring.

Definitely not carrier for me, proved by numerous attempts and firmware this weekend. Gnex running 4.1.1 everything works perfectly. Let phone do ota to 4.1.2, broke WiFi tethering and Bluetooth to vehicle completely. Reinstalled 4.1.1 thro Odin and re-partitioned at same time so completely clean install, WiFi tethering and Bluetooth worked perfectly. Continued on complete wipe track by then installing 4.1.2 thro Odin with re-partition (thus removing possibility that incremental upgrade to 4.1.2 was to blame) still no WiFi tethering or Bluetooth.
Did same for 4.2 using Odin still didn't work. Returned to 4.1.1 using Odin, everything worked.
Even made my own Odin package using radio from 4.1.1 (even tho supposedly same as 4.1.2) system and other files from 4.2 - same result, nothing worked.
To eliminate doubt used same sim card in two HTC phones running 4.0.4, both showed correct working and tethering and Bluetooth. Conclusion, not carrier/ supplier related, but surely random hardware/ firmware incompatibility on some examples of Gnex for unfortunate souls such as us
Tried two WiFi tethering apps with exact same result... shows tether as working, greyed out WiFi icon on tab and no go on laptop or desktop....I have spent hours on this to no avail
Have you tried any network diagnostics while not tethered?
I may be getting carrier and 4.1.2 issues. I was running some ping tests while not tethered yesterday. Full 5 bars of 'H+' running CM10 and I was getting horrible signal. More than 50% dropped packets and long ping times.
I'll roll back to an older CM sometime soon and see if there's a difference over the next couple of days.
Thank you,

I'm Noob, I got problem same error on 4.2 and 4.2.1, this issue over half a month.
I have google some website, found have several people like us have this issue and still no idea to fix it...
Mostly couldn't connect to laptop or Mac Book. For me is PlayStation Vita (firmware 2.0 Wifi only)
My PS Vita could deal with my galaxy Nexus on 4.1.2 , but 4.2 is could reach Internet correctly.
I have tried several Wi-Fi Device to connect my Galaxy Nexus,
My PC , My PS3, My PSP, My Uncle Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1 (Samsung image) are working fine.
Only my PS Vita couldn't...
But base on others, have same issue on other device, so I did think this issue may cause by 4.2.
Base on this issue, I have try "wifi-tether" , whatever this download on Google play! or "3.3 pre-2" on their website.
I have it running on Factory 4.2 , 4.2.1 Rooted + Super user, this couldn't work correctly.
Running on KALO 2.0 ROM, this have error on "Clamping MMS"....
No Luck for me.
My GNexus is only one device at the moment, which could let my PS Vita online... I have some PS Vita game need running online.
This force me stay on 4.1.2 and try disable System update notification next minute, for several weeks or month until the solution come...
Or... Anyone could build a patch which could let 4.2 using 4.1.2 Wi-Fi tethering engine?
Having a problem with my WiFi, it is constant on the WiFi download arrow. I have checked the usage with data manager and it seems to be OS Services. I updated to Jelly Bean 3 days via Kies. It was fine the first day and since yesterday I have been having this problem as well as my brother who has a S3 who updated OTA. I started diagnosing the problem and it seems to stop if I disconnect every computer in the house. As soon as I connect one of them no matter which one the constant download arrow returns. This is also happening at my school without my computer there. Had the phone since July never had a problem. Any ideas for a fix?
Btw this is a Rogers I747.

Hopefully somebody figures something out. I had a similar issue with ICS, but it was Doubletwist Airsync forcing my wifi setting to always now. Not sure what is going on now. But if it's doing what you say with the computers, maybe it has something to do with WiFi direct or something.
I have even factory reset and it was still doing it before I even loaded anything on to the phone. Is there a way I can completely fresh install the OS?
Any time I look at my wifi (In both ICS and JB) I have an almost constant download arrow, but only on WiFi.
If I turn wifi off my data does not do the same thing. I downloaded a network monitor and found that even over an hour of idle the phone had only downloaded a few kilobytes of info. Like you said, it was for OS services or something OS related.
I just assume it's some kind of ping that the phone has to do so the router doesn't disconnect it? I'm not overly sure how WiFi works. After seeing no significant decrease in battery life I stopped worrying about it.
Its just odd that 3 months + I have had this phone it never happened. Now all of the sudden this is happening to two phones after the a day after the jellybean update.
sorry to bring this up again, but has anyone found the issue or solution?
My GN 10.1 has this same issue.
I'm sure this is a nice battery drainer.
I have the sprint Galaxy now 2. I purchased it 2 months ago and since day 1 I have been getting download speeds of 6-17Mbps and upload 3-9Mbps. I installed the 4.1.2 update and now all of a sudden my download is 1Mbps if I'm lucky and upload l less than 250kbps. Plus my voice signal is 1 bar when before it was minimum 4 bars at home. I called sprint and they said they are upgrading the tower in my area but that tower was done 4 months ago. It's something with 4.1.2 update.
Anyone else having simular issues? Anything anyone can suggest?
Phone is rooted foe wifi tether running stock ROM.
Any help greatly appreciated!

Still SLOW 4G LTE after 4.1.2 update.. PLEASE HELP!
Have tried to Force Stop the Sprint Connection Mnager, Went in through The phone dial pad and Dialed: *#0011# and turned Powr Save Mode "Off" . JUST got off with Sprint again and we went through all the regular troubleshooting tips as normal, which I have already done at least 8 times since 3AM this morning! They stated they opened a service ticket and if still no good by 72 hours they would give a credit to my account and maybe do a exchange of my phone to see if that fixes the issue. I am tempted to do an unroot and a fresh install of the Stock Rom 4.1.1 and the re-root and just keep denying access to the system notice I get every 5 minutes telling me that there is an update available.. :~/ ANYONE else have ANY suggestions I am ALL open ears. Just REALLY frustrated because it was ALL working perfectly and at this point I am tempted to box this phone back up store it in my closet and go back to my Evo 4G... :/ Thanks in advance everyone! S.Wes M.
Hello Helper,
With the recent air update provided by LG to my G3 there have been to my notice that even tho i Off the Data Connection the Data Icon near the signal strength on top bar of the phone remains and sometimes synchronization icon also appears even tho i have disable it.
Maybe its a glitch or a bug please knowledge me up regarding the matter as i have tried Hard Factory Resetting multiple times plus finally a Installing the latest firmware manually and still it remains the same.
Device Model: LG-D855
Latest version V10i-SEA-XX
Help is much appreciated here. [:
sicmethal Hi and welcome to XDA . Did you tried to go on some website or open some app that need internet connection, ie. Google Play Store? If it doesn't work, you are good then. Maybe you should ask on service for that glitch, what is going on .
