  • My tab,after riset my tab software phone call by lose, as were flse

  • Upgradeable to ics ?

  • Please ensure your already insert the SIM Card correctly. If you lost signal while on mode, try to off-on the tablet. It may solve the issue. But if no, try to re-insert the SIM Card. More importantly, make sure you are in 3G/HSDPA area, and your SIM Card has internet quota :D A101 has weak WIFI signal. Just for your note.

  • Yes.. mine too Do u know to fix it ?

  • Good tablet, good performance. Just no call function. I have used it for morr than 2 years. Still doing his job great. well done acer.

  • This model doesn't have call function. I only has sms function. You can stil use Line though. The APN for data usually is done automatically by tablet itself. I changed my SIM Card several times with different operator and all of them are doing well. Make sure your position have good spots for signal. Don't forget to upgrade the device OS to ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich)! How? Just access Settings and About Tablet. Pick System Update. It's more convenient than Honeycomb. By the way, I have used this tablet for more than 1 year. Everything is going smoothly so far.

  • Acer Iconia Tab A101

  • i found out that there's no dialing procedure for this only for messaging

  • i bought my tab a month ago....just got problems with it...nothing will likely displaying on its screen but still i can receive messages...may you help me fix the gadget... i would be please if you cud help me... i havent drop the thing...i just dont know why exactly

  • 5MP is not related with it's quality for sure. It is related to the size of the picture. The quality in indoor environment is good enough. Outdoor environment with a lot of light and object conditions, it may affect quality of picture. Just take it as a regular camera that have fair quality. I wont expect so much with camera in tablet or mobile. The best is still using real camera. You got what you paid.

  • I find the camera quality is very poor in my acer a101. settings are superfine and 5MP. Is there any way to improve?

  • yes you can, when first time i buy A101 and try to download whatsapp I have a same question like U. but i try to ask that question to whatsapp support. and as soon as i have receive sendback email from support and they give us the link for download it. but sorry i can't give U that link caused i've deleted it mail from my tab.

  • ask, can I install whatsapp on this tab? please advice

  • look good. but no phone

  • ,-kkkkkNo phone ?!?!? For one of the Best products of acer !?!? So saaad i regret my send!!!

  • You may use battery saver or similar programs that can be downloaded from Android Market for free. It will help to keep your battery longer. Secondly, please use SIM Card 3G to make internet connection. WIFI Connection will drain your battery faster, it is a common knowledge. You may use messaging service by choosing Message in the menu of programs in the Android. Battery is 1500 correct, but 2x1500 is the fact. Well, I have used this tablet for months... the battery is still left after 12 -14 hours with office usage. Using a live wallpaper will drain your battery faster, but not in great percentage. The minor is only : Official Accessories is rare. But you may find third party accessories suppliers in the Net. There is a wide of variety tablet in the market now. You can choose one that suitable with your needed. Each tablet has it's own plus and minus, even the famous one.

  • In terms of the power of the device, I'd say it is a good tablet. I got mine just two days ago and I'd say, I am proud of this machine except its wireless. For some reason it cannot find wireless connections made from laptops while other tablets like the Explay, connect to and finds all available wireless networks. If anybody knows how to help me connect my a101 to my Samsung laptop R540, please, please help me. otherwise, I am certain others are facing a similar challenge. Thanks

  • I looked at this in JKT just recently called the A101-3G but the staff said it only does sms and not voice calls. How strange is that. It is a good looking device and good price and with USB and HDMI. The battery is Ni-Po so dont know if it is more efficient than Ni-Li. But why no voice calls. Is that just to keep the price down by not being registered for voice calls. It just seems Acer stoped half way when making this. If it had voice calls and full 3G, that is with all the fequencies, then it would be a great device.

  • How can i get software telephony for a101

  • try plug-ins

  • usually android with 7" must have minimum 3000mAh batt capacity but iconia only had 1500mAh so im not surprise if the batt drain fast.try to turn the 3G to 2G to keep the batt safe.

  • Can some one tell me where can I find this in Dubai??? I tried to find it in Carrefour ... but its without 3G. any other place????

  • try using android booster from android market. it will work.

  • I bought Iconia A101 just 3days ago and found battery is drowning faster in standby mode. I tried to find out stand by time and usage time but could not get this information on internet and even usermanual, is anybody have this information?

  • i have a new unit of acer icona A 101 tab i just want to know how to text and read messages here.i inserted my cellphone's sim card here .thank you God bless

  • It can't make a phone call. It can only sms. Tablet is for personal multimedia access and personal digital assistance. If we talked about phone call, I prefer using classic phone. It's more easy, good quality voice, and battery saver.

  • can it make phonecalls ?

  • Yes, screen is not as good as Ipad2. It's glossy, especially in sunny day. It reflected. By the way in Indoor is okay. The best view is in a room with little light. By the way, I think it's better to see video at LED TV or Cinema. Anyway, If you can find doft screen protector, your problem with glossy can be minimize.

  • What about the screen? I want to buy this tablet,but i read the review that say the screen is poor,not good to watch movie? Thanks

  • I have used Iconia 101 for more than one week, it's my tenth days. I want update about my experience for the battery. I used the tablet for work mostly in my office. I usually start it up around 7am, and recently, I didn't need to recharge it for 12 hours or more later. Of course with light usage like see email, notes.

  • About battery, it is 1530mAh x 2, so total battery is 3.060mAH! It less than Galaxy 7.0 Plus with 4.000mAh, but with the price different compared with minor different in facilities, still worth it. Of course Iconia doesn't have phone calls, Infrared, and less total storage capacity (7.0 Plus can be added with max 64G SD card). Anyway, it's rarely to use so big "phones" to make a call. Infrared is depend on, data transfer now usually using Bluetooth and cable data. Well, infra red will be used if you want to make it as a remote for TV :)

  • I have bought it yesterday, Iconia Tab 101 3G, the blue one. First, I afraid of the battery performa. But after my first try today, It lasted for more than 9 hours before battery run off to 15%. Well, of course I'm not using it to see Video or full browsing. Only use it for some application, browsing, notes. Quick application, good price, and handy. About OS, no further comment, it's an Android 3.2 Honeycomb.

  • Sorry, the correct word is "interesting", not "interesant" :P.

  • This tablet IS SO GOOD FOR THE PRICE, fast, good in hands and has good quality materials. If you would buy a 7 inch screen tablet in a interesant price, this is THE CHOSEN ONE.

  • too small battery, may last 15 minutes using 3G or wifi.. :D

  • the phones s too cul and

  • I think the battery to small. Can the battery changed more bigger mAH? Thanks.

  • acer is the best brand for me,,

  • my sister had just bought it yesterday. i tried to look the specifications here. When i think about tablet, 3000+ mAH battery is included. But when i see this one, it's kinda surprising to see a 1530mAH battery attached, and they call this a tablet? how long will it stand? 3 hours of full usage? poor battery

  • Where can i buy this in zimbabwe

  • acer A100 has the gps.

  • why in all specifications i see" GPS-no". Two weeks ago i bought A100, and there is a GPS receiver, and it is work offline"

  • Hi, i need to know is it window mobile, 1) can i do a video call from it. 2) can i install a soft ware in it. Thanks & Regards Majid

  • IT is my favrout cell...but i don't know his price..

  • take this It is honecomb powered w/ a best in class arsenal, you'll never go wrong, although HP is also great but the WebOS is a bit off in terms of compatibility.

  • aound US$370

  • It is my #1 choice for Tablet 2nd to Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.. All the right stuff plus Acer Computer background + an irresistable price of just under 25 Philippine Peso.

  • just saw it today in bestbuy ...... but little bit confused to take decission which 1 to take, either this or hp.

  • can i know what cost it is....?

  • Can please anyone tell me from where i can buy this in Malaysia or Singapore?

  • I think that this phone is very good i like but how can i buy it because m at cambodia

  • where is price group....??

  • where can i find this cell in saudi arabia

  • I am very aware that iconia tab a101/100 does not have gps as i was thinking of waiting for it. Now i bought samsung galaxy tab as it has everything the specs as with iconia while galaxy tab is going to receive its gingerbread ota update in may. Btw regarding to above user's comment, acer in the past has proven to deliver lousy software drivers, which causes tons of problems in PCs. As it matures, i can see less hassle createf.

  • is this tablet really quadband 3g?

  • Acer and Dell have always been underrated by the giants like Nokia, Samsung, SonyEricsson and Apple although they have always proven themselves by coming up with the best specifications and by not copying the shape and made of all the "giants". Sadly enough...the retailers will not order these unique in every way models only because of lower resale values about which the buyers are so worried even before buying a model.
