Hi, I just upgraded my A100 (US version) to the latest 4.0.3 software, but the newest software doesn't have any Chinese language display support. The older 3.2 software did. Does anyone know how to get the Chinese language support? Thanks!
What build number are you on? .014, .015, .017? I've heard the .017 pa_ca was missing languages. You might be able to manually change over to the .014, that has all of them, it is in the Dev section.
Still waiting. Gen 2 3.2.1
Still waiting too. 3.2.1 build Acer_A100_2.007.05_COM_GEN2. Rooted with Crossix's build.prop and SD card mount mods.
ACER_A100_2. 001.01_COM_GEN2
That's what mine says.
I'm rooted but no other mods.

I am unsure of the build because my Dad has the A100 right now. Is there a way to add a language without rooting the device?
Gen2 3.2.1 here, still waiting. Mine is completely stock, not even rooted.
Was travelling and the OTA update request kept coming up while i was in Malaysia (visiting relatives). The update kept failing, I figured it might be because I used Titanium Backup to integrate some of the updated apps (gapps, etc) into the ROM and that I might have to revert to a stock rom. (I was running low on space, too many apps? )
Got back home to Canada and now it says that I'm up to date on HC? Has the OTA update been removed or has it been delayed in Canada?
Nope I Bought Mine On Sunday At The Source And It's Updated To Android 4.0.3, So I Rooted it And Now Am Waiting On The Case I Bought On Ebay And My New 32GB Card To Arrive So I Can Do That Memory Card Swap With It.

nah dude, i haven't gotten the update either
I am still on 3.2.1 GEN 2. Been on it for a while. Update tells me that I am up to date. Support is useless. Talked with them 3 times and exchanged 3 emails. I tried several of their suggestions with no results. Got moved up to level support 2 days ago and they promised to call me with a solution. Still have not heard back. If this continues much longer I will try the downgrade to GEN 1 option or just go out and buy an I pad...
As you all know Google has rolled out android Oreo to the masses , including the pixel c . I've got the notification on may tablet but too afraid to click install since 7.1.2 working really well for me . My main concern is battery life , being burned with 7.0 before I rather weary of the new software update to 8.0 . I'm using my tablet primary to take notes on lectures so I need a solid battery life.
Can any of you give me an impression of performance and general usability of pixel c with android Oreo installed ? I am using stock pixel c without and root or modifications
Android O works like a charm on my Pixel C. The performance is good, generally no stuttering, lagging etc. Microsoft Word isn't working though, Google Docs saves the day. I use the tablet for notes in lectures too, and I easily get a day and a half of use.
Edit: I'm on stock Oreo, no root, no mods.

It's nice to know . I'm using quid as my primary note taking app . The Oreo impression is generally best across all pixel devices except for people who wanted all of the new feature on their Nexus 5x. . . Anyways thanks for giving your input!
I guess I'll wait a couple of weeks before attempting to update . My exam is coming soon and I cannot accept change in my tablet yet.
P.s this forum is really quiet isn't it ?
Your welcome
I can imagine Android O isn't the best match with Nexus 5x. I had the 5x for a couple of months and all it did was throttle and stutter. My old Nexus 5 is way better on Nougat.
Yes, it's a little too quiet her here, hopefully it picks up.
OT: I tried to find Quid in Play Store, the only app I found was Quidd, a virtual sticker collector app in beta. Can't imagine it works well as a note app. Could you please guide me in the right direction?

Thanks a lot! I'll give Squid a try, Do you use a pen?
I haven't actually used Netflix or Youtube, so I can't help you there. I enrolled in the beta program at dp4 and received an OTA of the public Oreo release about a week ago.
Only been on Oreo for a few days since installing and seems to be ok, no issues.
Doesn't "seem" to be a major update.

Great news! Microsoft Word only produces a white screen on my device, same with Excel. Did you install Word before upgrading to Oreo?

I've had both Word and Excel installed before upgrading to Oreo.
both apps work fine for me under Oreo. Would cleaning cache for these apps fix your white screens?

Clearing cache only gives me force close when trying to start the app. Force close is better than a white screen though.
Installed my OTA update to Oreo from Nougat 7.1.2 today. No issues so far but haven't really done alot either and update went smoothly.
I did notice that this Oreo update also shows a Updating Firmware splash screen that I've never noticed in other updates. Did I just not see them or is this new? What was changed in the FW?
I installed the update....
and apart from a oddity, where the update screen seemed to get stuck in a loop looking for further updates (I had to shut the pixel c down, and start it back up, to fix this)..it's been a fantastic update so far, very smooth and far more fluid. Everything seems to be a bit snappier, and it seems to be loading webpages and youtube more efficiently, and quickly..
BUT!!...I wouldn't recommend you update immediately if you, can't afford for anything to go wrong, as i tend to find that something will be broken somewhere, that we're not yet aware of (like Picture in Picture crashing when you try to use it)....
Maybe wait until you've got all your important stuff, out of the way before you update...
Hope this helps?

nah , it´s okay. To be expected really. :angel: after all next month pixel c will be 2 years old.
No, afaik project treble will be available only on phones launching with O.
About my experience, the update seems pretty nice so far. The performance is about the same. I never had lag or bad perf on this tablet honestly. The only problem I have had are two random reboots two days ago. The rest is fine.
As with all major revisions of android, it will take some time before all the apps are fully compatible with the Os and use the new APIs.
So I flashed in fastboot and run magisk. There is a weird situation when you reboot to go into recovery it says it is flashing firmware, I not seen that message before.
Magisk works, passes safetynet check.
I saw mention that Word crashes, well that is still true initially, when I open a document, it opens then then closes again, tried it 3 times then it stayed open, something about needing to download fonts? So it works eventually.
Battery status is weird, when plugged into power it is says is it NOT charging, when I pull USB cable out, it says it is charging. Small bug, but what you expect for version 0 of 8.
Chrome closes and reopened a few times, but then settled.
I rolled back from clean Oreo to Pure Nexus 7.1.2.
The main reason why is unbearable lags in Youtube app - when the active video is minimized and you want to browse Youtube it's just completely unusable. I think couple of times it stayed this way even without a background video.
Overall I was not happy with the performance so went back to Nougat and the difference is night/day.

Hi, a few days ago I manually checked for updates on my Galaxy A7 2017 and found a new update was available. I updated immediately,since it was the first update I received in a long time, and was excited with the new features this update was supposed to bring. (Selfie Focus, mask effects, etc.), but none of these appeared as an option, I'm able to download mask filters, but when I try to use them, nothing happens.
My device jumped from October 2017 security revision to February 2018, so that maybe has something to do?
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could help me with this, I've already deleted the app data from the stock camera, with no results, so I was wondering if anyone had an apk file to share or any other solutions.

I've already checked, no updates are available.
Can anyone advise me on the one+ updates, I am still on November security and I read they are bi monthly but normally what time of the month do they drop.
I moved from Samsung, their updates were painfully slow, ironically they are now as fast as Google pixel.
I think we are all on November security patch with the 7T
Sent from my HD1907 using Tapatalk
They have these bi-monthy update thing, so you'd think they at least would issue it with the latest security patch.
And this isn't an excuse, as the 7 Pro got like 2 updates in a week or something lol.
On another note: HydrogenOS got it's first open beta for 7T, so hopefully it arrives soon for OOS.
Sent from my OnePlus7TPro using XDA Labs
Well it must end the open Beta for 7 and 7 pro then will bring the update to us.
HydrogenOS already has December rolled...
Translated into
Update log:
system

Hydrogen updates does not always transfer well into Oxygen. Can be major differances.
hi everyone ,,,
I want to share my experience with this phone, the hardware is very good but the software is S***, waited for 1st update 3 months, and nothing fixed, second update 3 months and nothing is fixed, ( unexpected crashes, recent app windows lagging very badly, contacts don't show names in miss calls).
contacted support more than once, they don't have any understanding of any issue its like an auto message that tells you to wait for the next update and they don't have any schedule when the update will be released.
we are in Jan 2022 and my latest update is android 11 , October security patch.
I would not recommend this phone for anyone, don't make the mistake that I did.
I am selling this phone ASAP.
Thank you

I agree that this phone hardware is a beast ! The software unfortunately is really bad especially i came from iOS which everybody knows how good they are with their softwares and updates. I already know that these kinds of android phone maker won't have software support as good as S*msung, let alone Ap*le.
However to be honest i don't have all the problems mentioned in your posts other than occasional Nubia launcher crashing (so i switched to using Niagara Launcher). There are lots of third party modification on playstore which can run great thanks to this phone beastly hardware. So i guess i can live with it.
Have you tried installing Global ROM (any one other than the one came with the phone when you buy it)
They dropped new update for EU Rom, i hope NA & Asia ROM gets an update too asap.
Edit**
Nvm update v427 for NA and Asia is available. Gonna try install it.
