I accidentally snapped one of the pins as I was cleaning the dust inside so I have used foil paper to "replace" it?
Anyone know what them pins are for? I remember seeing a diagram but I can't find it anymore

I think those are the contacts for the gps antenna.
Edit: Don't think foil is going to work, probably have an impedance mismatch now. Have you tried to see if GPS works?

GPS seems to be working fine to be honest. I tried gps status and toolbox app, Google maps and sygic and works fine

[SW] Car Home replacement

I stumbled across this from one of the threads here. Gave it a try, and had to purchase it. Makes my SGT mounted on my dash much easier to use then, without it.
It is in the market. as Carhome Ultra Hope this is not against the rules.

Very cool. I like that Car Home Ultra alot. Found another app that accomplishes alot of the same things but it's a little less cluttered (colorful) and nicer to look at at night. Check it out @ Digital Dash. Developer seems to be pretty cool as well.

very nice app.
Cool looks nice
I have been using GPS speedo on my Droid x for a long time, so when I got my tab, I had to put it on, but it only worked when the tab was bone stock, it hasn't worked after flashing kernals and Rome.
Ill have to try both of those apps, as I have been trying to use other apps for speed, and they suck compared to GPS speedo.

Just upgraded to ICS on Greek ROM

ICS has just arrived for the Greek ROM of A500. Everything that worked fine seem to work just fine, but taking screenshots with the Volume Down + Power button combination still not available, face recognition unlocking not available, still unable to get GPS data (Google Maps on receives location data only through WiFi, GPS Status app doesn't receive any kind of GPS data, no Fixes nor Sats, only A-GPS).
Downloading update in Michigan Traverse city
Had to go to stock... Cuz sending unit in for repair of course I drooped my tablet after sending warranty fix and bent my plastic side

Experiencing a lot of application hang, even after restarting a few times, seems that Acer didn't do their job well, even after the long wait, or is just my A500?

I've already tried with my home vaccum but the dust is still in there. It doesn't affect the sound quality at all, but it looks bad imp.
Cheers.

I've tried scotch tape, air duster (short blasts from the side) and lens cleaning wipes. I can't get it out no matter how hard I try :banghead:

Chewing gum or a similar sticky substance works (fruit works better than mint ime).
Here's what i did. I took an ear bud, dipped in a glycerin based soap. Let the excess soap drip away. Now clean it with that. I have tried it myself, and it works great for me.

Charging pins

Does anyone know what the two pins under the cover are for? They look like charging pins which means that wireless charging might be possible with a different back plate or a modification? The review on Forbes today suggests that.

They are only used in the China market running H2OS.
When plugged in the H2OS will adjust the theme of the phone to match the new cover style.

Reviving old thread for new random question.
We now know the 2 pins under the cover are for the H2O styleswap themes, but looking at a teardown of the OP2, is it possible that it could "tapped" into for wireless charging and/or NFC?

Banding problem in progress meters and games

In 3d games and parts of the gui there are random dots like banding is this a screen malfunction? It can't be software right? How unreliable. What do I do? Return it? Ugh I just got it. Wtf is wrong with Motorola qa in its factories?? This is unacceptable. Will they send me a replacement before I have to return the defective unit? Is there a quick fix? What are my options?

It's mainly whenever it's showing green. But it has to be software issue not the screen hardware or else screenshot wouldnt have captured this issue. Those bright dots run around whenever there is motion. Even in the Android gui

Does anyone know if a factory reset might fix this issue. It's not going away. Established that it isn't a hardware problem as I sent the screenshot from another phone and looking at it.
