lenovo ideapad a1

posted this at the lenovo forum, thought i'd share it here as well: the first thing i noticed on my A1 was the horrible speaker, how it was incredibly tinny-sounding. i downloaded the free "equalizer" app. created a simple curve with the equalizer settings, and checked "equalizer" in the...

Recently purchased Lenovo A1 Ideapad and having problems connecting to Nokia 5230 and another mobile phone using Bluetooth - has anybody had a similar problem?

anybody know how to send gmail on Lenovo a1 tablet

any way (or app) to hide the clock, and "(no service)" from the lockscreen?? (outside of rooting...)

Great forum - thank you so much for sharing your experience and reviewing the Lenovo A1 tablet. I purchased mine yesterday as an Open-Box from a retailer. The micro USB plug is wiggling excessively when plugged into the A1 tablet mainly up and down. In addition, a slight finger push upward it...

android and os x. ok, they don't like each other much. am on my first android device, and, happily, managing pretty well. most annoying thing: apple won't let me use iCloud thru a browser from the A1, it's pathetic (really). but am wondering: is there a way to root the A1 from a mac...

Can anybody tell me how to send g-mails on a Lenovo A1 Tablet

I recently installed the ROW (rest of World) update onto my IdeaPad A1. It has been working flawlessly since then. The touch screen always works now, no issues with the charging/reboot issue, etc. The only thing I have not tested is the Google Maps update on whether it still crashes the...

I read on another website that an update for the IdeaPad A1 should be coming soon. I verified that a Chinese version and Rest of World update version were released on the Lenovo OTA website on January 16, 2012. Hopefully the US version will be released soon.

Bought the A1 as birthday present for my 8 year old daughter. She has been using it non-stop until the battery dies. While charging, she got impatient and turned it on, then the screen stopped responding to any touch. Turning it off by holding the power button, then turning it back on...

Does anyone know of a good windshield mount for the A1 or one that might work on the a 7 inch tablet?

I just got my A1 yesterday and I love it! But I left it on last night and the power dwindled to zero and it turned off. Now it won't turn on this am and the charging light is not going on when I plug it in. Anyone else have this happen? ...Lisa On hold with Lenovo for 50 mins now. :(

I am not happy with the NavDroyd GPS map program and upon recommendation in other Android forums, CoPilot looks like it will do what I want. I'm really looking for something that combines the ondash convenience of my experience with Magellan Roadmate and Google Map. I see almost all of these...

I'm still waiting for my A1 to ship but am wondering how those that have received their units feel about Them? Hopefully some have received theirs and wouldn't mind letting us know how you feel about them. I'm especially interested in how the GPS works with the included Navdroyd app, how...

I read somewhere that to fix Skype video on the Ideapad you need to root it first then go into a config file /Library/Application settings/<something>.xml and change the video resolution. I don't recall where I read this now arrgh! Anyone had success with this? First off, has anyone been able...

So, I just bought a new Lenovo Ideapad A1 running Gingerbread. So far I have removed the default Lenovo launcher and replaced it with Launcher Pro and installed a few more apps from the Market, no problems. I also downloaded a terminal app "Terminal Emulator" and got to the command line but...

Someone on XDA-Developers has rooted the A1 and it seems to allow for improved performance, while also being easy to do. Here is their post: Lenovo IdeaPad A1 7" Tablet Review and Root! - xda-developers

I have the a1. It's a simple tablet, sometimes sluggish but solid. The gps takes several seconds to fix, slower than a smartphone typically does. I like it but I'm annoyed at a few things... The onscreen keyboard sometimes gets in a mode where it autorepeats keys even with a very short tap...

This is a cut and paste... I am sure that I received a lemon, and they are not all like this, but still. ******************************** Pretty sure I am going to have to return it. Which is a bummer as it was a gift for my daughter... primarialy so she could use it to video chat with her...

Looks like we can save some $$ off MSRP now that this is at Amazon . Amazon.com: Lenovo Ideapad A1 22282EU 7-Inch Tablet (Black): Computers & Accessories No tax FTW! :cool:

Got ideapad K1 yesterday. After some trial I found I had to hold the power on button down for a few seconds to get power up. Pretty flaky, but worked most times. Today I found I couldn't get power up at all. Am sending to repair depot. Any others find a problem with power on? Or did I just...

So I have a captivate I've been overwhelmingly happy with. I got it when it was still "high end" and it is a bit "mid range" these days.. I know the Lenovo A1 is only a single core 1 ghz processor. My question is will the 1 ghz processor be enough to compensate for the extra resolution...

All has been quiet on this tab. I'm kinda sad the amazon kindle is getting more attention.. I would really consider this one over the amazon if I knew anything about a solid release date or even a definite price of 199$
