This may help with the repeating song problem...Well if you are using the native player, you can check if the music player (SETTINGS) play mode is set to all; with "Repeat & Shuffle" set to normal.

Try uninstalling it and reinstalling the market hack.

thanks for the response eddie32818, the screen seems to freeze up whether its in the media player (usually looking like the home button is being pressed)or the homescreen, (once it froze mid wipe). if the screen is on or off, it still freezes up after a few minutes of being powered on or plugged in...

after a few minutes of being turned on, the screen becomes totally unresponsive. The media still plays, volume button works, and if i hold the power button a menu comes up, but nothing on the screen. If i reboot the device, the back light comes on, but nothing appears. Has anyone else encountered t...

Can anyone help? The only this I can think of is that maybe your Windows OS is turning off that USB port, during a certain period of inactivity? I seem to remember that you may check this in Device Manager to see that all USB ports never get disabled (power saving mode might be active). Also, you c...

[/quote] The data transfer and hard drive dismount issues have been the only problems I've faced with the Archos 5it. I've wondered is replacing the drive with an SSD would fix it (I've installed openAOS which allows the replacement) but ssd costs are still prohibitive.[/quote] Archos was locking do...

Sounds like your battery needs replacing. My 605 lasted 2 years. It would start up to the Archos logo then shut down. New battery fixed mine.

"It seems that the plug-in required is on the device as it's recognising the formats and not suggesting further downloads, just some way of knowing it is registered. " My player had played just about most video formats successfully that I've thrown at it. Eventhough I have all the plugins, as well, ...

In my experience, even the battery doc connected to the a power adapter doesn't help. Maybe its because the power supply just aids in charging and isn't directly powering he device. I'm just forced to do several copies to get all my media on the Archos. This has also been my experience, too. Proble...

Hey guys. I've had the same problems for a while now. I haven't used my Archos 5 a lot, and what happened is that one day the screen bulged up even though it wasn't under any heat...

Is there any way I can recover/extract/save the files that are in my archos before I throw it away/replace it ?

When you mentioned "beeping" noises; did you mean "clicking" noises instead? If so, many have reported hard drive failure with "clicks." First make sure it is fully charged, then try starting it again. If you are having charging issues or depleted battery problems, then it is possible that the batte...

I've paired Bluetooth to my Fiat 500 2012 car just yesterday. I purchased the Emcomgear USB adapter for just $10 from Amazon, and within a minute or two was paired.
