Has anyone played with a 7 inch Odys neo X7 or next ? Both models cost around 115 to 130 euro in germany. I do not care about the zillion video codecs in Archos tablets. I really want to be able to listen to the radio and browse the odd web page. There are a few customer reviews on amazon.de which ...

I have an archos 28 and have been appropriately scarred. I never expected much for 100 euro, but the device is nearly useless. With 128 Mb memory, it does not even work as a useful internet radio. Flash never worked (runs out of memory and dies). WLAN/wifi reception is appalling, so the connection ...

Some firmware releases had problems with the last two channels (12,13 ?), but that has not been the case for a while.

The problem is that my Android Archos can't find any networks. I know that theres Wi-Fi in my house but my device can't find it. Also when i turn on Wi-Fi on my device and it tries ...

@defenderbob, Thanks. Is the OS and updates the same for all Gen8 devices? Just wondering about Flash status on the 3" models.

It's the same file that the tablet reads and installs. Flash WILL work any of the Gen8 models.
Almost. The A28 has half the RAM. Flash installs, but nobody has ever ...

Tried going directly to ESPN Podcenter... won't play nor download... indicates I do not have latest flash installed... followed the link for Adobe 10.1 but, it's not letting me install... any ideas?
Sorry.. that is a good point. I wrote that you almost do not need a special player, but obviously ...

Do I need a special app to download podcast? If podcast downloading is even possible?
Actually, you almost do not need an app. Open your browser and find a link to your podcast. 20 % of the time, it will start downloading and half the time after that it will play in the stock mp3 player. On ...

I just got a new gigabit router and while my network did go faster, with the netbooks going as fast as 11MBps with the connection speeds at 135mbps. The archos is still at 54mbps and barely improved on the data transfer, i still have to pause for the movie to catch up. I think it's still on wifi-g ...

im having the same problem and i tried the above comment ..did not work
Maybe you should try to isolate the problem. Go to your router/WLAN box and turn off all encryption and authorisation. Don't do your internet banking during this time if such things worry you.
If you can, check that a laptop ...

I am using an archos 28, but the question is more general.
When connected by 802.1n (not b or g), does the archos use channel bundling ? That is, can it use 40 MHz, two channels, that many WLAN access points use these days ?

My access point broadcasts happily using two channels. I have a laptop ...

It sounds as if you have simply had bad luck and received an unhealthy unit.
It is time to go back to the shop or ship it back to the vendor.

It certainly sounds like a hardware problem, but it is easy to check. If you get out of the screen calibration program, does anything work ?
When you say the rest of the screen seems unresponsive, do you mean sluggish or no response ?

Apparently the Archos doesn't conform to standard sleep protocols as a result neither doggcatcher nor Google listen continues to play once the screen shuts off. Anyone know of a working podcast app for the Archos?
My totally ordinary, unrooted archos 28 plays fine with google listen and the screen ...

Hi, I have Archos 101IT from less than a month. When I charge tha battery it never reaches 100% (I let it charge over the night) - normaly in reaches 93%. Then it shortly falls to 88%. I can not say how many hours battery life is present, because I dont use the device intensive, but I can say that ...

surprised there isn't a post on here yet but anyone else picked up the official flash finally in the archos apps lib?
I guess not too many people care, but did you see that the gen8 devices are listed as compatible, except for the archos 28 ? I never expected the A28 to be able to play video, but ...

Is the audio stopping when the screen shuts off? I started having this problem with podcasts recently. It will pause the audio just like when the headphones are removed. The only solution that works is to change the power management settings so the screen never turns off.
No. My device has a very ...

My plan is to have my 28 stationary at my desk to be used for Jango and Pandora but I don't want to have to keep charging it. Anyone try to power it through the usb cable connected to one of those USB wall outlet plugs?
Sure. It works fine for me. It also works if you have a powered USB hub.
The ...

I have the A28 and the youtube app built in to the 2.2 froyo doesn't work unless I let it sit for longer than the video takes to watch. Is there a better app to watch youtube videos?

Thanks
The app is not built into 2.2 froyo. It is installed by archos on top of the operating system ...

I have the most updated one and it has 44 mb free however arc tools app doesn't work for it so I would stick with that one if arc tools does work.
I answered my own question.. I let the machine update to 2.3.26. If there is any difference in free memory, I cannot see it.
I do have many, many more ...

Before app market finishes loading brouser shuts down and sends me back to the Archos 28 home screen. I have followed the instructions on the hack but when I go into the settings>market> there is no cache to clear and force stop is not an option. I have uploaded the latest firmware and reset and ...

How many apps are now available on AppsLib?

I was surprised that I couldn't find any up-to-date information on this.
I do not think the raw number will be so helpful. Have a look at the apps that interest you and the version number on appslib compared to android market.
Pick a popular application ...
