Re: Stuck on the Boot Screen After firmware update. Help

I had this as well. I just held down the power button for 10seconds until it shut down, then reboot. (Keep it plugged in.) Update was fine on my end. It's a holdover from a windows user, when in doubt, reboot.

Re: ES File Explorer won't stream video

I'm not sure what to tell you but I've been using ES File Explorer since day one and streaming video works fine on it. Of course, I'm doing it via SMB mode not the media player so perhaps that's the dicotomy there. Are you using SMB with this problem?

Odd issue with video playing on SMB but not from A70

I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue. Most videos work fine, and all seem to stream fine from my home network via SMB. However, if I copy the video over to the A70's video folder, it won't play and I get an error msg: "Cannot Play this Video! File is damaged or incomplete." The weird thing is ...

Not for the A70 yet though if I'm correct. Website still shows it pending and I had signed up for a email notifiction when they became available. (No dice yet.) I'm trying to be patient as most of their cases do look great.

No. It'll all still be there. (Did it myself on my A70 yesterday.)

Re: Read PDF-Ebooks on your Archos 70...

I've been using my A70 mainly as a pdf reader. (ebooks I have are in that format) I was using ezPDF Reader on a recommendation from this forum. It was alright and I was mostly content as I've good eyesight and enjoy small text. However there were a few things I was less than happy with:

Re: Firmware 2.0.71 released, report bugs here

Great update. This is my first Archos device and really loving their ability to get updates out there. First 2.2 now this. I wish my Galaxy S (Captivate) was like this but hey, they're tied to a carrier.

Noticed huge increase in WiFi signal strength. Sitting in the same spot from before the ...

Re: From people who preorded to ARCHOS.CA/HOTMP3GEAR.COM

I got mine 3 days ago. (Actually 1 day earlier than CP said!) I absolutely love it. I've been using it all day, and well into the night (reading, web browsing and playing FFVII. =P~ ) and have not had the power drop below 45%. So far my only gripe actually has to do with the screen protectors I ...

FYI.
Just an update for those that are waiting on the cases Scott will be offering for the A70. (Remember, those that had tablet preorders get theirs at cost!)


Cases are in transit from asia and should have them mid week


So, another half week or so. I wish I'd been able to get both tablet and ...

Re: Stylus - will it work on A70/A101?

No, you need a capacitive stylus to work. Look for something that works on those or something recommended for an apple IPad as they are often labled such and will work. Targus is a good brand, I have one already and it's well made.
