The difference between 99% and 100% is the turbo boost. Turbo boost is disabled when you set the maximum to 99%. I think the temperatures are too high, even for a room temperature of 25 degrees celcius. I have some questions. Please answer them all, so I can get a clear view on the cooling solution in the notebook. 1. Is…

You can remove the password by entering the bios (you will need the current password). Hook up a keyboard and spam F2 when it starts booting up. Go to the tab 'Security' and remove the supervisor password and the boot password (simply touch the '[SET]' text, enter the old password and leave the other forms blank).

Your first question: As the battery isn't removable, you can't do much to prevent battery ageing. Regularly letting it drain by using it is in my opinion the smartest move. Your second question. 99 degrees celcius on the die of the CPU is dangerous. Intel requires OEMs (like Acer) to use cooling solutions that can hold…

Well, the current ROM (v1.032.00) has lots of problems. Also instable WiFi connections is one of them. I've managed to solve that problem, but I can't talk about that on this forum. Because it is against the rules. What I can tell you is that the easiest solution is to buy a new phone, because Acer isn't going to provide…

I've contacted Acer Netherlands about the WiFi problem and if there will be KitKat for the Liquid E2 and this was their response about the KitKat question: "Een nieuwe update naar Kitkat is ook helaas niet aan de orde." Translated to English: "There won't be a KitKat update." This is seriously the last Acer product I…

Guten tag, das sieht sicher nicht gut aus. Die Treiber für das Acer Iconia W3 tablet bestehen aus ein setup das jede Treiber Windows braucht installiert. Es ist ein 'Package'. Die Probleme mit solchen 'Packages' ist das man ein individueller Treiber nicht entfernen kann von Windows. Ich denke dass durch versuchen der Intel…

The photo in your last post indicates the tablet isn't able to boot from the USB drive. I can see that because the spinning circle under the Acer logo isn't there. I think there's something wrong with the ISO. Try another one.

I advise you to use another ISO. Remember that the tablet only supports 32-bit Windows 8 editions. If another ISO also doesn't work, then I suspect there's something wrong with the tablet itself. [updated to reflect images in previous posts]

Firsly, are you sure the USB drive is bootable? Because it should boot with those settings. Secondly, so if you turn on the tablet by pressing the power button, it boots directly into the UEFI? It isn't able to boot the installed Windows?

Good afternoon, 'USB HDD:' is the USB stick. So the UEFI recognizes the USB-stick . You need to drag the entry to the top of the list to put it as first boot device. After you save the settings, the tablet will reboot and boot from the USB drive if it's available. Note that the boot will take some time (about 2-3 minutes).…

Hello, It's weird that you're experiencing charging issues. All over this forum I read about charging issues of the W3. A recent topic: click! Windows updates won't solve charging problems. Make sure you have all drivers installed. Check it in Device Manager. In the recent topic the first reply suggests updating the BIOS…

Hello, I did a reinstall of a clean Windows 8.1 on my Acer Iconia W3-810 and I have some information for you. Here's the topic where I wrote a description of the reinstall: *click*. I think a reinstall on the Aconia W3 won't differ much from a reinstall on the W4. If you have any questions, I'll be to answer them . Kind…

MediaTek won't develop KitKat drivers for the MT6572 SoC (motherboard) that is used in the Acer Liquid Z5. That means the Acer Liquid Z5 won't receive an update to Android 4.4 KitKat.

Hello, I have really good news for the Acer Liquid E2 users. MediaTek will release Android 4.4 KitKat drivers for the MediaTek MT6589 SoC. What is the MT6589? The Acer Liquid E2 and E3 use the MT6589 System-on-a-chip (SoC) from MediaTek. This SoC is a small motherboard. Why does Acer has something to do with MediaTek? Acer…

The reinstall succeeded ! It wasn't very hard. But you will need a USB mouse too, because the touchscreen doesn't work during the installation. Here are the steps: 1. Create a bootable USB disk that is compatible with the UEFI GPT partition table. You can do this by using the tool Rufus. 2. Turn on the tablet and press…

Thanks for your reply billsey ! Then I have everything I need to install a clean Windows 8.1: an USB hub, a USB keyboard, a USB mouse and a lot of USB sticks. I will use the tool Rufus to create a bootable USB stick containing the Windows 8.1 Enterprise iso that is compatible with the UEFI (GPT) partition table. I read on…

It was a big update, so there have been some changes . Here are the changes I've noticed today: - Much better WiFi - Better mobile connection - Faster - Much more stable I'm also going to test if crashing issue (see this topic here) has been fixed by putting my phone in stand-by the whole night. Because then when I had the…

**bleep**, I was hoping voor Android 4.3 

Can you post the specifications that are listed in 'Settings' ---> 'About the phone'? These are mine (the latest OTA update from Acer, 1.023.00): Modelnumber: V370 Android version: 4.2.2 Smallband version: MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V5.P30, 2013/07/23 15:42 Kernel version: 3.4.5 ui1@ui1-Thinkcentre-XXXX #1 Wed Jul 24 11:07:40…

My phone crashed today .
