Re: Will Archos always be a day late??

well to be fair the gen8's came out pretty much before most of the others did. and the ones it did come out after because of the delay it was pretty much better than.

the rate at which technology in this area is coming out is , frankly, ridiculous. things are becoming hideously out of date in just ...

Re: archos store and archos claims' prices don't match up??

yeah i noticed that too. a pretty glaring error unless they're planning on a 16gb/32gb/250gb model line.

i'd go with whatever the powerpoint presentation from last night actually said it was going to be as that one would have been proof read more than the website. (whatever that actually said, i ...

Re: Flash 10.3

then take into account another 6 months for Archos to do something with it. you're looking at least being out of warranty before they possibly bring in the promised full flash support :(

Re: [70] Recommended PDF reader?

Aldiko works pretty well for me on my 101
previously used ezPDF and that was pretty good, probably the best out of the lot but a) it costs and b) its nice to have all the formats supported in one reader like aldiko

Useful "screensaver" apps?

Hi all, unsure how to describe what i'm after. I'm sure i'm not the only person that wants one though.

basically i'm wanting some pretty app/screen that displays a "live/updating" rss/news feed / weather and any other useful things (facebook/twitter?) that can just sit there on my tablet whilst it ...

Re: My 101 tablet RMA experience.

my experience has been pretty ok too to be honest

had a 8gb 101 which stopped working one day and i sent it back to archos, 2 weeks later i got a shrinkwrapped new (presume it was anyway) unit.

trouble is, it seems to have a bluetooth issue in that it really doesnt want to see any discoverable ...

Re: new firmware 2.3.26 - report bugs here

its hit or miss whether it sees the headset when i do a scan ...

Re: Warranty

Well my 101 was replaced yesterday. :) looks like if they cannot turn the unit on they don't bother or don't have the facilities to check for sde etc :)

Nothing was mentioned other that battery had failed. (Although not convinced it had)

Re: Warranty

Well it isn't THAT clear since it says
ARCHOS declines all liability and responsibility for any issues resulting from the installation of this SDE firmware.

I can't see how installing custom firmware would hose your screen.

Besides my question was asking is anyone has had any experience with ...

Well according to archos when I rang them last week they do now provide a repair service only replacement ...which, according to the chap I spoke to the onlyreason not to get one would be physical damage (broken screens) . He hadn't any idea about sde which is what I was trying to explain to him. I ...

sympathies :( i too have suffered a death in the family. although mine was a suicide rather than the murder/droidslaughter yours suffered. the coffin is currently en route to france for what will presumably be a short and respectful funeral if they cannot perform any necromancy on it.

has anyone attempted to send back a device to archos for warranty repair/replace which has been SDE'd?

Warranty

Has anyone here had their SDE/rooted unit go faulty? If so what did you do? Did you return it to Archos? Will they still honor any warranty even if the hardware which failed bares no relevence to what SDE/rooting could cause (ie screen dies)?

mine has done this a couple of times now since i bought it new in december. it always seems to be when it gets a bit "too" empty. always i've been able to recover from it by doing some mixture of charging/powering on etc.

last night i came to my 101 and it seemed to have suffered the same fate ...

Re: Flash 10.1 on appslib

someone from archos has already confirmed that it isnt actually a build of flash that is what they'll be eventually releasing, but a rom including the optomisations (unsure as to why that exactly would mean that they couldnt release it until adobe have certified though?!!)
