This problem happened to me also. I posted about it some time ago. I just had to turn off my wifi in certain areas. It would happen to me at work and when I would walk pass a certain Gamestop in New York. It has to have something to do with the security encryption for those location because it ...

NZ. Even if you can get the files to work, are there going to be any more firmware updates for this model?

Hello all long time no see. I haven't posted since I found out that the Gen8 wont have harddrives or compacitive screens (that's almost 3 months). Know that I have an Iphone I am looking more for something to hook up to my HD tv than to travel with and because of the format support the Archos ...

Yes, I know that there is a version of Flash for Android and yes, I know some people really want it for reasons I don't share but can respect. And yes, I know the A5A won't stream most FLV files.

But I don't mind taking a few seconds to download the file first. Since FLV files look better in the ...

Besides the camera do any of you feel like the new 43 model can do anything the current 5 can't? Even the video and audio feels like it can be done on the 5. The only software thing that I see that it cant do is AAC 5.1 (which is just a matter of a firmware update), but the storage is so small I ...

Well that's it for me for the first time in 6 years I wont be buying an archos product. Its like they spit in the faces of most of the loyal archos users. where is the 5" screen hard drive model and the closest thing, the 43, still only has a resistive screen and to be honest I expected it to at ...

The A5IT is freaking awesome, and I can't wait to see what Gen8 is like on a 5" screen. But I'm one of a handful in the States...

Apple has turned seemingly innocent people into viral-robots who defend everything Apple... at least here in the USA. I mean, I actually get ridiculed on Facebook for ...

If I may ask...is it really that big of a deal? We get animated backgrounds (annoying), tethering (useless in our case), and improved Java speed (Archos is already pretty speedy). Admittedly, saving apps to the SD card would be nice, but I can survive.

Except for a few programs, most of the Google ...

Just to set the record straight, any 1st gen iPhone owner knows how well 3g triangulation works as GPS. The answer for me was far too often ' I already knew what part of town I'm in, but where exactly am I?! ' :D it proved most useful to give me a local area map, but then I was usually left to ...

You may not like games but most people do. Also some of the need to zoom is caused by a low rez screen. I also didnt say I like Ipods the A5A is my 6th Archos device. What I am saying is that the ipod touch market is what this thing is going for.

As for the GPS you get what you pay for. This is ...

After seeing the pics and the FCC reports and comparing it to the devices that are out already I am not interested at all. I understand that this is a low end mp3 player, but, I think just adding a screen capable of multitouch is pretty much a standard option for any device running android, and ...

Terrible, just terrible. It'll take you two emails and a phone call before you get the plug-in straightened out.

Just wait until the Dell Lightning hits the shelves. Lights out.

Good luck, Crlhxphn.

It actually did take 2 emails and a phone call. Everything is working now. My hopes are up for ...

Finally got the correct working unit back but know I am having trouble getting the plugin. Originally sent June 14th, received final working unit August 5th.

They got my unit June 14 and I just got my unit back today August 5th. They sent me 3 different units. 2 wrong ones and 1 that just didnt work so you better have your fingers crossed.

which firmware did you use?

What ever they do I just hope that there is a HDD model preferably a solid state drive, and It has good battery life because the current model just cant handle android.

What matters is that Archos promised certain features like Flash that has not been delivered. The reason why does not matter. Also they have to give us updates because when the unit was released it was the buggiest none functioningest piece of crap that ever existed. If people thought that there ...

Well I sent the damn thing back again and again I have to wait for them to receive it before they ship me back another one. I left a note in the box saying what the problems where. I have gotten to tired to bitch at them this time. For now I am just saving my money and waiting for an Iphone 4 to be ...

Call them. Emailing will get you a response but it is better to call them. If they decide to replace it you will have to ship it to them after they give you an RMA when they get it they say that it will take 10 to 15 business days to examine the unit and they will ship the fixed unit or more likely ...

I will try the firmware reinstall perhaps that will help I already changed the format of the drive from EXT3 to Fat32 thinking that will help with the HDD speeds. no luck so far. I am pretty sure the HDD is dying.
