The weak wifi is pretty common, mine is weaker then any other devices I have, usually by a bar or 2. Custom roms won't fix it, I think they just have the power turned down on it. Its also possible there is a bad connection to the antenna internally. If you're very unhappy stop Modding now and return to stock and exchange for another unit or brand.

Any other questions feel free to ask.

thanks for your fast reply, I was contemplating the idea of flashing some custom rom as a last resort before either opening up the tab's case to check for myself that everything was "wired right" as Im not too happy with the idea of sending this off to acer's as I live in the Dominican Republic and I'd hate to pay the overpriced shipping fee if it is something that I can fix by myself, but on the other hand I might as well break something new instead of fixing the wifi anthena, so I guess I'll have to claim the warranty and hope the wont send me another faulty unit (I've read somewhere some people had issues with the replacement units). Such a great little device cursed with bad QA. anyways, if I hard reset the tab it'll be back to stock right? (as of now the tab is running stock os with root access and the modified wpa_wifi apliance to gain access to adhoc networks) Thanks

I'm not sure, but I don't think resetting these puts them back to 100% if rooted, the root stays since it sits in /system. You'll have to manually remove SU then reset to get rid of the root, I think. Other option is restore through the update.zip method which should wipe /system. You could try a hard reset and see if it removes SU or not, it might.

Does the unlock script only works with the pre-release of ICS?

I cant get to the unlock mode... allways saying "xxxx .11 ics fast boot xxxxxxx"

Not quite clear on what you're asking, but as far as I know it should work on any version bootloader unless they changed it on some update, which wouldn't surprise me.

What is the whole message, and when is it occuring?

I have the latest ICS version availble thru OTA.

Or i´m not being fast enough?
Already tried a million times the Volume - and Volume +.

Guetting this message:
"Bootloader V0.03.11-ICS Starting fastboot usb download protocol"

Should get the unlocked mode right?

Ok if you don't get the new screen with two icons, then it isn't unlocking yet. It seems the script is hanging before passing the next step.

When it gets to that screen again, type
fastboot oem unlock
as soon as you hit enter, get ready for that volume down then up, so maybe have it in your lap with your fingers on the volume rocker.

I'll look at the script again to see why it's hanging, or if it isn't hanging, why it's shooting past that point without waiting.

Forgot to say i´m using the windows version.
Thanks

The issue is that you included the A100 bootloader in the archive with a script to write it.
A100 bootloader (version 0.03.11-ICS) is not unlockable.

You need to write A200 bootloader (version 0.03.06-ICS) to your device, to have the unlocking option.
You know you have unlockable bootloader when you see green ACER logo in the bottom-right side of the screen instead white one in the center.

The script and blob you included is used to restore the original A100 (not unlockable) bootloader.

It's just labeled a100, it isn't the actual a100 blob. But go ahead and use that link until I get the chance to go back through it, I'm obviously messing it all up somewhere, I may have used the a100 blob and gotten it mixed up with the a200 blob when I was renaming and shifting things around. I'll pull the download for now until I get the chance to get it all sorted out, sorry guys.

Edit OK its back up with the proper boot loader for unlocking. I can't believe I did that. Huge thanks to smokku for pointing that out!

No worries.

And yeah, you have to be quick when it asks to toggle unlock, like half a second quick.
