Same as the previous post the touch screen is broke..and of course typically of have a lock pattern on it...so it looks like I will have to take it apart..now as it is the flash/SSD version it makes matters worse of course is there any instructions on how to do this ??

Almost 5 years on since release and ppl still come to this section !!! I still have mine and use it daily I have had 2 replacements 1 my fault the other it wouldn't turn on and I have my phone as well!! (which I don't use for mp3's!!)... Ok it has its niggles, like crashing and no up-to-date firmwar...

did you managed to find out if they are the same??

Hi all, not sure if this has been discussed...i love the archos music software and dual file management system....is it possible to somehow extract the software to run on other andriod devices?? Now obviously it is andriod so there must be a way of doing it?? i'm no hacker...lol...so perhaps i'm tal...

Sorry i ment...a brand version of there 5" tablet... I still use mine everyday and it is still the best out there but like you said it is discontinued. They should bring out a capacitive version not resistive.. Have the latest Jelly bean OS...perhaps slightly higher res?? google play store?? just th...

ARCHOS UPDATE the 5" player please....!!!!

how long has it been??????????? you need to come back to the mp3 market as well as concentrating on tablets!!!!

Ok thanks is it hardware or software restriction that prevents the 64 gb cards working??

Hi all ,

Will a 64gb sandisk micro sdxc card work on an 32gb archos 5??

I have one but I keep getting write errors on the card...I have formatted to fat32..and I'm wondering if it isn't compatible??

Thanks

ok for some bizarre reason i tried recovery again and it worked

Still got the Archos 5 32GB SSD, had it for a couple of years now without any problems then all of a sudden the SD card pops up "Fat is corrupted" the hard drive is fine just the sd card (32GB)...i have plugged it into the pc and it works fine... tried formatting it and still says its damaged... tri...

We need a newer generation of archos 5 IT they should get back into making this as well. It was a cool 5" media player that has anything...but since then a while back with had a few interations but none as good. now obviously thinghs have moved on & the tech is old hat and there are far superior med...

Thanks!! That is a good dual screen file manager BUT if you have an album for example you click on a music file within the album and load up the sound player it will only play that track you selected and not the others you cannot move onto the next without coming out of the soundplayer first....wher...

Hey Marcel,

Questions questions!! I love the archos for its file manager..where you can shove loads of albums and use the archos dual screen file manager to easily filter out the ones you want to keep etc...does the galaxy player or an andriod app have the same capability?

Thanks

Yep i do every day...32GB Flash .i tried others and nothing comes close to its due screen file manager...where you can manage your files we ease especially if you like to make your own mp3 collections.

Just wish they would bring out a revision of archo 5 instead of Concentrating purely on tablets :0(

lol still no word then???

come on archos they sell well!! and judging by the forums archos 5 is still alive and kicking!!!

I still have one and love it!!

Ok in my opinion for what its worth the archos 5 Internet tablet was and still is the best media to date, perfect size, perfect weight and fits in your pocket. Now obviously we have new range from archos the next best thing was the archos 43 which wasn't as good. now archos have moved onto 7"- 10" r...

Ok Where is the 5" model in the presentation??

can you lock landscape mode? instead of potrait?

Coming from archos 5 what has happened to there file manager? It use to be split screen on archos 5 now on the 43 it is all on a single screen making moving songs and files around alot more long winded..am I missing something ? Is there any alternatives?

I very much doubt it...apple would have a field day with this...archos we have law suits coming out of there ears..
