Meant to preface that with something that has a seven inch screen. My issue with the 5IT and the A4.8 is the screen size is to small.

Don't believe everything in the specs!

That's the kind of stuff about Archos that drives me nuts! They say it can do all of these things, but when applied on the user end there seems to be discrepancies with what Archos claims and what is consistent reality.

My bottom line question is as ...

So I thought I'd be smart and ghost armor my 705. Bad idea! The spray they put on leaked underneath my screen and I now have a water bubble under my monitor. I am wondering what can be done to get the bubble to dry out. Can pull off the cover and dry off the screen? Wondering if after a few days the ...

One thing to remember: You can not leave this unit plugged in all the time. There is no overcharge shut off feature and the battteries will overcharge and go bad very quickly if always left plugged in. Also, unit will not work of any charger (AC or DC) without the battery being attached to the unit ...

Thank you for this post. I have had the same issue and will go home tonight and make the switch. Everything still functions the same way regardless of whether it is set as a PC Hard Drive or a Windows Media Device? Where do I need to go in settings to make the switch? Many thanks.

I have never had any success using the internet with this unit...even after buying all the plug ins. As a straight up video player once you figure out what video files will play and how to compress them and remix the audio so it is louder this thing rocks! As far as any network capabilities with the ...

Thank you for the reply. I will try some of your suggestions. I can get mpegs to play just fine, but bought the plug in so my itouch h264 video files would play on my 705i so that I can get the same video format to play on both the itouch and the archos. Has anyone had success playing the h264 video ...

Well I have now tried two different of the 10200 mah batteries from an ebay seller out of Honk Kong and neither one stayed connected. The batttery is labeled exactly the same as your link from Amazon.uk except the model number is different and it doesn't state for Archos 705wifi, but the model ...

Thank you for the reply. Do you have a link to the battery dock for the 5IT with android. I can only find the DVR and the HDMI add on. I see a battery dock for the 705i, but haven't been able to find anything for the 5IT with android. It's really confusing when trying to research what is compatible ...

Hi,
Just wondering if this has the same feature as my older Archos 705i. I can run both composite audio and video out to my tv through the headphone jack with the 705i and am hoping the 5IT unit has the same feature. I've been noticing that most of the new tablets now seem to come standard with the ...

Maybe I just got a bad battery. I actually sent it back for a replacement. When I can get the thing to stay attached I love the long battery life, but it is always a precarious fit as it never completely seats like my 5100mAh does. Who did you order your battery from? Thanks.

I bought the thicker 10200 mAh battery and can not get it to click solidly into place. It is not a secure fit and keeps unclipping from my Archos 705. Has anybody else had this issue?Is the battery just too thick as it is definitely thicker than the original battery and it seems to bubble out a bit.

Just to be ABSOLUTELY clear about this. You CAN do scheduled recording (or Timed Recording) but you have to create the "schedule" MANUALLY. The only thing you're missing is the EPG, where you can select a program and let the EPG make the recording "schedule" for you.

So you CAN set the DVR to ...

Just would like to confirm the audio volume output on this unit. I currently have a 705i and would like to upgrade to the 5IT, but am very dissappointed in the audio volume when sending music to my TV or using headphones. On an airplane the volume isn't loud enough to be heard clearly and I have to ...

In regards to the battery issue. I just bought a new battery that says it has overcharge protection. Does this mean I can leave my 705 plugged in all the time and not worry about it overcharging and killing the battery? The battery that came with the unit drained very quickly as mentioned with other ...

Is there an issue with overcharging the battery and shortening the lifespan if I choose to leave my 705 plugged in all the time? I kept my 705 plugged in all the time and within a week battery life went from a couple hours to a few minutes. Thinking of buying an external charger from http://www ...

Thank you for the reply. I have experimented with different widths and still no luck. I've given up. I have been using handbrake for my video conversions, but have been experimenting with other software and still no luck. I knew what I was getting into when I bought the 705i as far as the negative ...

Any advice? I have yet to be able to play any H264 files. Either I get the file to big message are it acts like it is going to play the video and instead all I get is a black screen. I've tried different software and settings and no luck. They play great on my itouch...

What can I do to improve the quality of my videos? Many of my cartoons or videos with extensive CGI effects have jagged squiggly lines along the edges of the images? What can I do to improve on this issue when converting from one video format to another?
9/27/10 - Update...using handbrake I set ...

I'd like to know what can be done to improve the quality of my video conversions. For example empire strikes back has major squiggly lines when converting from iso file to mpeg2 when running composite out to my TV. Running straight VOB files is not much better...
