First try to update verified, but did not install after the reboot. Tried again. Installed fine. Wifi Icon did not update on first boot. Was connected to wifi, and internet worked, but icon never updated. Rebooted and that fixed that. Can't say it seems faster or slower. Was nice and fast before..

If you get your 32 up again, load the AppBrain market app. It has a feature to back up a list of your apps, that you can use to re-install from if you have to do a factory reset.

Be sure to sync with the market after you have all of your apps loaded.

Sweet.. THX, I took the survey, and it looks like most of us that did so far have the same wifi and reboot issues

Get the app store from AppBrain, then be sure to sync in the appbrain store app before any firmware update. That will ensure that if anything goes wrong, or you need to do a factory reset to get your upgrade working, then you will be able to quickly and easily reload your apps through appbrain. http...

You said you used it constantly, despite is "slowness", until others complained about it. Who cares if there is a lag to get to the homescreen, if you are happy with it? Sounds like you should get an iPad because you are more worried about what others think than your own enjoyment.

THX for the help, but I am way past needing to know how to get into the recovery menu. I have tried the reformat many many times, waited, tried again. and now, for the first time in days, I got the reformat to finish, but now it is throwing up the "update failed (221)" error. even though I am trying...

I noted this in another thread, but I am getting the "Update failed: (221)" error trying to reformat an A32 that I had upgraded to 2.1.08, than then died/will not boot past the Archos screen. I am trying to reformat it with 2.1.08, but it is throwing the "update too old" error!?!?! And sometimes I g...

I'm getting the 221 error trying to reformat my A32 with 2.1.08!!! How can it be too old, it is the current version?

After updating to 2.1.08 my A32 hung after playing music for a little while. I rebooted it, but it soon hung again. Then it would not reboot. After multiple tries, I got into recovery mode. None of the reformats complete, and now, after many tries. I cannot even get it into recovery mode. THX for br...

lazyb,

I have my fingers crossed for your scenario rather than mine!!!!

LX1,

Thx a lot jerk Now I'm hooked on Spaghetti Marshmallows

My 2 cents, For gen8 devices: 2.3 Highly probable. This is a logical progression. And, considering Archos' constant firmware update history for previous generations, we can reasonably expect this firmware (Barring mostly unexpected hardware restrictions that would exclude gen8 devices). 3.0 Not like...

alicez, Because of your weird Flash error using The YouTube app, I would attempt the following steps. 1) Uninstall, then re-install the Adobe Flash app. 2) Test the YouTube App (Search/play/etc) 3) If that works stop here ;) 4) Uninstall and re-install the YouTube app. 5) Test the YouTube App (Searc...

When I go to YouTube I see ALL videos. How do we get to type in a Search for a particular video?

The search icon on the upper right hand corner of the YouTube app provides the search function.

I didn't see it on the Archos download site. #2- What do you mean by "copied it to the root of the mounted device and rebooted, waited, and then hard reset it after 10 minutes"? 1) The update is available on the Archos site. 2) In...

@alicez "How did you do that? I tried with the "Check for firmware update" on the Archos, but it said I had current version, which is 2.0.71." Search these forums for firmware upgrades, there are multiple threads discussing the multiple methods of upgrading the firmware. Also, the official Archos do...

The 2.0.71 update did not include an updated fixed Flash. If you search these forums for discussions of Flash you will get a better understanding of the state of Flash on the Archos gen8's. Use the YouTube app from the marketplace, it will play YouTube videos just fine until Flash is finalized. If y...

More than 10, mostly at CES...

For short or "emergency" reading either is good.
For real reading neither is good.

For real reading get a reader with e- ink.

I have this sound and I also have Battery Snap. Maybe its a battery snap thing.
