  6. Hi! I used acer iconia b1-a71. At first I charged the battery and the tablet is on. But after 3 mos. when I charged the battery the tablet must be off to charged it in 3 hrs. But if the tablet is on the charging will take 6hrs. Y?

    Reply
    • Hi, there are any different when charging with ON or OFF conditions. Typically, charging when Power Off should make the tablet charging more faster to full, because the tablet do nothing, so there are not power needed. If the Acer Iconia B1-A71 is On, and lets say there are some background applications run continuously, that applications will make the tablet work hard and need more power, so the tablet will be charging more longer when the tablet power is ON. Having said that, it is normal with your conditions now, do not worry about it.

    • Hi, we assume that you have problem with screen lock at Acer Iconia Tab B1-A71, you can bypass or unlock it with answering Google account username and password for release the security protections.

      Reply
    • For “Too many patterns attempts…”, try to login with your google account.
      If you have a problem with your username or password, you can fix this using another computer.
      IMPORTANT: Because you don’t have an access to the menu, you can only use a WiFi network that you have used before (you can’t make a new wireless connection). And if the wireless was turned off when you last used the tablet, you are not lucky.

    • Can you try to open some applications which can run auto rotate, then try to rotate your Acer Iconia A71-B1, see weather the screen still can not touch at the same position before you rotate or not. If differently positions for not active touch sensitivity, then maybe this is cause by applications. You need to do hard reset to make it all 3th party applications clear and run again from beginning. If the touch screen still problem after doing hard reset or master format, then maybe that is hardware problem and need to bring to Acer service center.

Hi, I suddenly noticed my gmail is very slow, emails are not opening or ending, emails from legitimate sources are suddenly being marked as spam, I’ve sent emails to my self from the same account and they haven’t appeared or they’ve been marked as spam, I’m no longer receiving email notifications, the keyboard takes about 10-20 taps before it apears.

    I have installed the apps on the tablet: Skype, Facebook, Adobe Reader, Total Commander, LinkedIn, Documents to Go, twitter, tune in radio, FB messenger.

    I understand that Gmail, YouTube, etc are bundled in there already.

    I’ve got no media files n the tablet and about 10 word documents and 5-6 PDF files. Tablet keeps telling I’m out of storage. How can that be and what can I do about it.

    Would a hard reset solve my problems

    • Hi, first of all you should make sure your Gmail account does not get any trouble. Please try to open or Login to your Gmail account at computer browser start from mail.google.com, then put your username and password which also use at your Acer Iconia Tab B1-A71. Try to send and received email and make sure everything work fine. Because the SPAM is response from Gmail server, the Tablet only read the Email which available in Inbox or folder that we check. Please also update all installed applications to the latest one. However, the update or application will not work properly if the tablet free space at Internal memory is insufficient. You have to reduce the installed applications.

      Some applications like Facebook will keep the data inside internal memory, if many applications keep their data, then your internal memory will not have free space left. Try to check your applications data internal memory usage from Settings > Apps > choose the Applications (maybe you can try with Facebook) then you can choose Clear data. Please note the Facebook apps data will not removed from Facebook server, only data at our tablet will removed. After clean Facebook data, you can see that you will have more free internal memory capacity. At this moment, please update all installed applications. If everything finish updated, then you can login again using your Facebook applications, then your data will be downloaded again to your tablet.

If that apps still can not work with your Acer Iconia Tab B1-A71, then you have to backup all important data then do hard reset or master format, it will reinstall operating system and setup back all setting to factory default include camera applications as well.

  34. Hi, I have already rooted my Acer Iconia B1-710 and a few months later I was able to unroot it then I immediately tried to wipe data thru Recovery Mode, but then it was stuck to “data not wipe” 🙁

    • Hi, unfortunately we can not give good advice for Rooted Acer Iconia B1-71 problems, because there are many non standard possibilities that may happen at your tablet. Please discuss with Lenovo authorize service center for flash with normal official firmware.

  35. Hi Thanks for replying. I didn’t realise you had and am grateful that you did.

    On the point you made about updating all apps, if I do not update the bundled apps, will my tablet have trouble functioning? Are there any bundled apps I can avoid updating without my tablets having problems?

    I know the answer to this question is probably a ‘no’ but is there any way to uninstall some of the bundled apps? And what about the ‘force stop’ option? Will that cause problems or should I not be doing that? Can I move some of them to external SD?

    I am asking this because I feel that the bundled apps are so many (and most of them I do not even use) that they are taking up a lot of space especially when they need updating so frequently.

    If I move some of my downloaded apps (such as those I mentioned above) will that free up some space on the tablet?

    Also, one last question, is there any way I can read a flash drive directly on the tablet? Many forums have said no but I think, where there’s a will there’s a way. Some tablets can use flash drives connected with OTG cable. I tried one OTG cable a couple of weeks ago but I could not find a file manager on the tablet through which I could try and locate it. There has to be a surely.

    Please could you advise? Thanks

    • Hi, it is strange when your Acer Iconia Tab B1 always said low memory although you have done hard reset. Maybe you can try to hard reset one more time, then after your tablet can boot normally, please do not login to previous Google account, you can make new Google account to download any apps from Google Play Store, after that install one games and try to play. Because maybe your tablet memory can become full because of old restored applications from Google cloud backup.

    • Hi, usually formatting will not take more then 5 minutes. If your Acer Iconia B1-A71 still not work for more then 10 minutes then you have to force shutdown and do one more time. However, if your tablet get broken because not finish installation, then maybe it can not boot properly. You need to bring your Acer Iconia tablet B1-A71 to Acer authorize service center for further check.

    • Hi, when it is stuck, then please try to soft reset by press and hold POWER button until your tablet turn off, then please try to do hard reset again using hardware button one more time. If still happen, then maybe your tablet get hardware trouble. Please consult with Acer authorize service center.
