Re: Firmware 2.1.08 released - report bugs here

Yet another update w/o anything meaningful IMO. Still awaiting a useful update to risk updating.

Re: Firmware 2.1.04 released - report bugs here

Glad I found this thread. I was downloading the new firmware after receiving the update notification and searched for some info while I was waiting for it to download. I have no issues currently so I don't think I'll upgrade. Sounds like it's more likely to break more than it fixes.

Re: Anyone tried the new Flash update yet?


If this worked on my device I wouldn't even care about any of this. Unfortunately I've tried the general version as well as the Droid X version and I can't get YouTube to stream at all. It's so choppy it's not even watchable. The audio is there but the video is comprised of a frame about every ten ...

Re: Anyone tried the new Flash update yet?

I begin to have bad feeling about the whole Flash thing. Maybe, even the official flash (when released) won't be good enough.. Perhaps, the spec. of A101 cannot handle smooth streaming videos

Nah, the hardware is capable for sure. It's just a software issue. These devices are beastly compared to ...

Re: Anyone tried the new Flash update yet?

I'm using the latest apk from my N1 and I don't notice much of a difference to the prior version. Not sure what the big deal is w the Droid X apk. Last I tried it didn't perform any better than the apk from my N1.

Re: Anyone else have the Market quit working?


For me the Market often says 'network connection down'. Every other click. I click retry and it works. During this time my net connection is up and no other app has problems.

This sounds like the issue I'm having but it's not every other click, it's every click. I haven't been able to get it to ...

Anyone else have the Market quit working?

Suddenly when I try to launch my Market it says there's a network error & won't let me proceed. My connection is fine & there haven't been any changes since it worked last. Wondering if anyone else is having this issue & Google has figured out how to prevent unauthorized devices from accessing their ...

That's what I wanted to hear to get me motivated to do this. Did you uninstall first or just install it over the existing version? Did you use the link above to download the apk?

Haven't looked too much for a less intensive site, but will keep trying.
Were you using the Droid X version or the general version before?

Re: Anyone tried the new Flash update yet?

I installed the Droid X Flash player on suggestion from this forum and embedded video is still unwatchable. Guess I could give this a go since what I have doesn't work all that well anyway. Can't get much worse really.

Re: Photos of 101 Tuff-luv case from I-nique

What price did you end up paying w/shipping? Even w/the 10% coupon & shipping to the US it doesn't seem to be a significant savings over the Noreves option.

I just ordered one the other day for about $78 including shipping.

About the same as the Noreves. These both seem like real nice cases but ...

Re: Case for A101

Best case for Archos 101. I have it and it is fantastic.

Now I need to find a stylus that works.

Best based on what? Maybe the best for you but that kick stand thing on it is bulky and ugly. I now have my 101 in the Noreves offering and this is far ...

Looks like Android OS v3.0 (aka Gingerbread) will address this issue. I only hope we get it sooner than later.

Re: What's the Best Way to Share GPS from a Droid via Blueto

I would like to be able to use GPS enabled apps (Maps for instance) on my Archos 101 and since I always have my Droid on me it would be simple to pair via Bluetooth and share the GPS. Thoughts?

Google maps, and navigation use both GPS and the internet, so unless your phone can be used as a ...

Re: Cases for Archos 101 & 70

I bit the bullet and ordered the Noreves on for a whopping $85USD shipped. It should be here tomorrow. Sure hope it's as good as it looks because nothing else I tried was worth a squirt of piss. I may take my 101 down to Otterbox since they're just down the road from me. See if they can work their ...
