I am trying to activate an Acer Iconia - apparent Network Error

I am trying to activate an Acer Iconia (Android) via LumiRead app. I receive an error 'Activation Failed - There is a network error, please check your WiFi, or the content server may not be available now. - Details show E_STREAM_ERROR: CURL returned 7 (0x7)'.
The Aldiko app also fails to authorise - 'Error. Could not connect to server'.
The Iconia was rebuilt under warranty about 6 months ago, prior to this the Iconia was activated successfully.
There is no network error - I'm using WiFi now. The thing I find interesting is that I can not access any Adobe web page via any of the Android browsers (built in browser, Chrome, Photon Browser), but can access via PC - which is where I'm typing this from.
ADE works fine on PC, and I can read DRM books.
Activating the Iconia is starting to sh*t me up the wall. I have Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome and I'm trying to access a pain managment book via the Iconia. I'd appreciate any help
Thanks Sheridyn

Is it possible there is some kind of firewall app running on the Iconia that is causing the problems?
Try turning off any firewall (temporarily) to see if that helps.
It might be worth posting on Acer sites to see if anyone has similar issues.
Try the Bluefire app; though I suspect that will fail if the others did.
Good luck.

Getting Past Error -4 When Trying to Activate

Ok so I just updated to 2.0 on my old iPhone and now I am trying to activate. I keep getting a Error -4. I hear there are ways around this but I can't get it out of the other threads. Any help?

I downloaded and reinstalled iTunes 7.7 (used software update the first time). It finished the upgrade on the first try when I reconnected my phone to the computer.
I tried that clicking solution for awhile, got all the errors, to include the -4 one and this seemed to work.

Install windows 8 64bit on 64bit architecture tablet(acer iconia w4-820) by removing the preloaded 32bit windows 8.1 or dual boot

Hi,
I need to install windows 8 64bit on a 64bit architecture Tablet(acer iconia w4-820) by removing the preloaded 32bit windows 8.1 or should make it as dual boot. For a project purpose.
I tried booting the tablet from windows 8 64bit DVD for installation but it does't even detect the DVD Drive. when i insert the recovery DVD which came with acer it gets detected.
The windows 8 64bit DVD which am trying to install is volume licensed which we use to install on our laptops. That works fine with Laptops.
Is their any different version of windows 8 do i need to try for installing on Tablet(acer iconia w4-820) or where am i going wrong.
Thank for your help.

SM
DISCLAIMER. I would contact Acer about this to be safe, but if you only have one HD in the tablet you are going to have to do a clean install by formatting the HD. You cant run 64 bit & 32 bit on the same drive AFAIK.

[SOLVED] Help needed with ACPI accelerometer - Acer Iconia Tab W501

Hi,
I am trying to get the accelerometer working on my Acer Iconia Tab W501
In windows, it reported as a BMA150 device, so I have that driver loading on boot.
After months of googling and making a mess in /sys, I still have not got the device working. I was working under the assumption that the device hangs off the i2c bus, but a "lucky google" today uncovered that it is showing up through acpi - acpid is present in my daemons array of rc.conf and the kernel module acer_wmi is also loaded.
The device is certainly sending signals to the kernel. Upon boot, dmesg ends up as follows:
[ 11.689709] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
[ 12.108374] EXT4-fs (sda2): re-mounted. Opts: commit=0

[ 22.459133] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
Now, if I rotate the device, and run dmesg again, I have the following:
[ 1255.189705] acer_wmi: Unknown function number - 5 - 1
[ 1257.363688] acer_wmi: Unknown function number - 5 - 1

Yet, running acpi_listen generates the following when the tablet is rotated:
PNP0C14:00 000000bc 00000000
PNP0C14:00 000000bc 00000000
PNP0C14:00 000000bc 00000000
PNP0C14:00 000000bc 00000000
So, it would seem the device is working and sending data to the kernel/drivers, it appears some config is needed to get it properly recognised and an entry in /dev generated.
Really hoping there is an acpi expert around who may be able to help me get the device properly recognised and configures, ideally, as a /dev/input/js*
Cheers.

There is no need to patch the kernel anymore as current kernels have the acer wmi accelerometer patch merged.
Ensure you have the kernel module acer_wmi loading and then the events should be propogated. acpi_listen should show the events.
Using the code from here: http://www.jezra.net/blog/Python_Joysti … ng_Gobject i have written a little daemon that monitors the accelerometer and automatically rotates the screen based on it's position.
Cheers.
[EDIT] Being a laptop, I am guessing the accelerometer is possibly on the hard drive?? used for shock protection?? So if that is the case, I am not sure you will be able to utilise it in the same way as a tablet's accelerometer. There are articles on the web for setting up hard drive accelerometers in linux. The other consideration you need is that the accelerometer may not be on acpi. It could be on the i2c bus (commonly where sensors such as fan speed, core temps etc are located), in which case you will need the i2c driver to get the accelerometer events recognised in the kernel (ensure i2c kernel modules are loaded). So check exactly how the kernel detects the accelerometer, is it on acpi or the i2c bus?[/EDIT]

Facebook Messenger VIdeo call in acer iconia tab 840-FHD

Hi everyone!Just wanted to ask, has anyone tried video call using facebook messenger app in Iconia Tab 840-FHD?Thanks!

I have not been able to use my micro SD card that I bought for my Acer iconia tab 8 from day 1 as it is not functional due to whatever changes that were made prior to boxing and shipping out to the public. On the box and in advertising it is listed as a feature which constitutes fraud in my opinion. And if there is some round about way of using it that is not good enough. You should be able to utilize the card slot/function just as you would if it were a camera or a laptop computer. Even though I have not been able to use it I have left it in my tablet and when I turned my tablet on I got a notification that it was damaged and to try to reformat it. It's funny that I can't use it but the tablet somehow damaged it! Double whammy! So what is Acer going to do to fix this situation for all of us who have purchased tablets with useless card slots? No excuses or be either. Consumers, like myself, are tired of being lied to and taken advantage of. Yes laptops and tablets are more affordable then ever but that does not mean quality and customer service should be null and void because we are getting such a good deal.

Problems Connecting Acer Iconia W510 Wirelessly to...

Because my daughter has a disability. She has been given an Acer Iconia W510 by her school for her work in school and so she can do her homework at home. I have tried everything but I cannot get it to connect wirelessly to my BT Infinity Broadband. The laptop recognises the network and appears to connect to it but it doesn't because it won't connect to the Internet. I have normally connected other devices via BT Desktop Help without a problem but this isn't installed on my daughter's laptop. It does connect to the Internet at my daughter's school. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be and what I need to do? Many thanks.

First of all reset the home hub to factory default and try again.
If that fails, then change the wireless encryption on the home hub to WPA only, delete the existing wireless connection on the ACER, end re-enter the wireless key again.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Acer Iconia A200, poor network coverage error, won't update

I have the Acer Iconia A200 tablet and I'm trying to make sure that it is updated. It has become very slow. When I go to check for software updates I receive the error: "Network Coverage - Network coverage is currently poor. Please move to a location with better coverage to continue." When I first started receiving this error, I only had 2 signal bars on my WIFI so I moved to the room that my WIFI is located in. I had full signal and still received the same error. I did a factory restore on it and went through the setup process and still received the same error. I can get online, download games, etc. Granted watching things like Netflix or anything it is extremely slow and takes a very long time to load. I brought the tablet with me to work today to see if maybe it is just something with my WIFI. I logged into our network here and I am still receiving the same network coverage error. Please help! Thank you in advance!

it's an error message about Acer server not reachable.simply Acer shutted down the old update servers, so now the only way to update or check the latest version, is using the Acer support website: http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers/4005;-;A200

Acer Iconia A1-830 and Blackberry z30 Hotspot Connection After OS Upgrade To KitKat 4.4.2

Despite receiving an update for OS KitKat 4.4.2 my Blackberry z30 is still unable to connect to my Acer Iconia A1-830 via HOTSPOT or BLUETOOTH TETHERING. Obviously this is a software issue because the original OS Jellybean 4.2.4 was working fine before the upgrade to KitKat 4.4.2. Acer need to provide a fix so that my Acer Iconia A1-830 and my Blackberry z30 can connect via HOTSPOT or BLUETOOTH TETHERING.

Anything happening with this? I have 3 Acer B1-750s, Android 4.4.4 Kernel 3.10.20+Acer Image version: Acer_AV0K0_B1-750_RV03RC02_WW_GEN1Build #: Acer_AV0K0_B1-750_1.012.00_WW_GEN1 Steps to reproduce:1. Turn on the blackberry hotspot2. Enable WiFi on the tablet3. Select the Blackberry hotspot from the list of available networks4. Enter the WPA pass phrase5. Watch as the Acer repeatedlt tries (and fails) to connect. An open unsecured hotspot is not an option, and in any event the blackberry has no option to disable security.The Acer does connect to Android and iPhone Hotspots with no trouble, but I use a Blackberry in my business operations so those devices don't count.Really need this to work or the Acer tablets I purchased have to be returned for something that works with Blackberry Hotspot, by way of investigating this problem I now know Nexus works properly, as does Samsung)

I am trying to activate root account on my MAC. The directions I've seen do not match what is in System Preference for Accounts or Users

I am trying to activate the root account on my new Mac Book Pro. The instructions that I have found do not match what I have in System Preferences. What is the process when using Users and Groups. When I click on Join the Network Account Server- Open Directory Utility I don't see a option to activate root user as the instructions say at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1528
OS X Lion
From the Apple menu choose System Preferences....
From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
Click the lock and authenticate as an administrator account.
Click Login Options....
Click the "Edit..." or "Join..." button at the bottom right.
Click the "Open Directory Utility..." button.
Click the lock in the Directory Utility window.
Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
Choose Enable Root User from the Edit menu.
Enter the root password you wish to use in both the Password and Verify fields, then click OK.

Do you mean you cannot select "Enable Root User" from the "Edit" menu as shown below?
Why do you think you need to enable the root user? I've never needed it in the history of OS X.

I have had my IPAD2 for quite a while but haven't activated my cellular data for about a year. I am now trying to activate and when I go to cellular data, turn it on and try to tap view account i just get a message that says "connection to server lost".

I have had my IPAD2 for quite a while but haven't activated my cellular data for about a year. I am now trying to activate and when I go to cellular data, turn it on and try to tap view account i just get a message that says "connection to server lost". I could swear the last time I used cellular data you would see the signal in the upper left corner and I only see "no service" there, I am in a location where I know I should have service. Is there something I should do to my IPAD? I tried resetting, I tried clearing cookies and history in Safari (after reading a post n these discussions). I don't know what to do next. My IOS version is 6.1.3. I did go into Network from the general tab and I see it says "SIM not provisioned". HELP and Thank you in advance.

Hello Theresa818,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the cellular data will not activate for some reason on the iPad.
I found this article that will help you resolve this issue here, named iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular Models): Troubleshooting a cellular data connection, found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4249
Check for a carrier settings update.
Update your iPad.
Toggle the Cellular Data setting off and on under Settings > Cellular Data.
Restart your iPad.
Tap Settings > General > About. Locate the Carrier entry and make sure that your carrier is correct.
If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Cellular Data > SIM PIN.
Make sure you're in an area of good coverage. If the cellular data connection works in another area, contact your carrier to report the original affected area.
Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restore the iPad as new.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, contact your carrier, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
I know you may have done one or two of the steps here, so you can skip those.
Take care,
Sterling

Trying to activate my iphone 5. when connected to itunes its says i need version 10.7. but when i try to update, it says that im current at 10.6.3.

trying to activate my iphone 5. when connected to itunes its says i need version 10.7. but when i try to update, it says that im current at 10.6.3.

iTunes version 10.7 requires at least Mac OS X version 10.6.8 if you're running a Mac, or Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later if you're running Windows.
Is your computer up-to-date enough for iTunes 10.7?

I tried to update my iphone 4 but it just reset and when I tried to activate it, it won't let me.

I was updating my iphone 4 with itunes, and it suddenly stopped and the message
'We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
Please try again later, or contact customer care.'
popped up in the itunes screen.
I was at the stage when the apple logo was on the screen and the bar was loading.
My iphone does not have a SIM card because this is my mom's old phone, and she is using the SIM card with her galaxy note 2.
I turned on my iphone, and it was on the 'set up' stage.
Since I backed it up today, I tried to activate it.
but when I got past the stage with the Wifi, and it said it was activating, the same message popped up again. That message is also still in the itunes' iphone page.(itunes is working normally but when I click the iphone tab that message shows up. I can go back to itunes)
So, I can't restore, use the backup, or do anything using itunes except charging it. itunes still recognises my iphone.
I can restart my iphone. I already restarted my iphone and my computer, bur it still doesn't work.
How can I restart it? Or am I just stupid and I need to put the SIM card back and try it again?

You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone.
So, yes, you need to get a sim card.
