I've been using my A70 with my Nexus One hotspot since day one. That is until last week when I bought a Nexus S.

Same problem with my A70/8GB. I went back to 2.0.71 and my WiFi is steady as a rock. Now it does everything I want very well with the possible exception of the Flash playback in the browser not being the best. I have no intention of loading any new firmware for the forseeable future.

When I got to work this morning, my battery was showing 25%. I plugged in the charger and kept the unit on to monitor my Twitter account. Some time later (a couple hours maybe??), it was at 98%. I don't know why yours wouldn't charge when it was on....sure not a problem with mine.

Ditto here. I used it constantly last night for several hours with no drop out--even had a 5200kbps download on Speedtest.
Happy camper!!

I went back to 2.0.71 and now everything is back to normal with my WiFi. As a bonus, now my SMB works. Now that it's doing everything I want it to do, I have no plans to update the firmware without some really pressing reason to do so.

I have been thinking that even when custom ROMs are created for the device, I will probably stay with the stock rom because the video playback outperforms any other device I have used including high end phones and iPad. True dat!! I watched Family Guy Darkside Something Something that I ripped as a...

I put the old firmware back on and now I cant seem to download anything from the market. It says my download will begin but nothing happens. Can I turn the clock back 12 hours? I had a unit I was VERY happy with back then.

For anyone with WiFi issues. I fixed mine by doing the following. First I did a complete Format / Erase. Make sure the update firmware is on your PC.. cause it will go into USB mode.. and want you to copy it over during. Then I rebooted my router. Since then WiFi is now working. Sounds worth a shot...

Well one thing it did fix for me is SMB. I couldn't get past a screen asking for a login, and now I can see all my files. That's cool but it's not something I'm going to use often (if at all). I have a very limited use for my A70 which is keeping up with Twitter and Facebook, some light browsing, an...

I'm having some problems with WiFi. I did a couple speedtests just before the upgrade and both were over 4200/1200. Since the upgrade, it seems to work intermittently--sometimes I have to turn it off and back on again in order for the browser to work. And now my speedtests are less than half of what...

My replacement A70 came from Colorado. It appeared to be brand new but it DID NOT have the shipping screen protector.

Or FlexT9. It's not free, but it's terrific! Finger tracking just like swype, voice translation, and the keyboard is compact and fits very well. I started a thread on FlexT9 but now I'm having a problem with it. I can't get the long press to work at all. So if I want to type a "#", I can't do it. I...

My bad. So everything under "notes" is just expalining what the script is doing? Follow up question. What are the advantages to mkv files? Thanks!

This sounds more like Encoding for Geeks. Encoding for Dummies would be "click here then click here"

I posted on Jan 7 that I called Archos and they had no information on my A70. I checked online again yesterday at work, and still nothing. When I got home, my new A70 was sitting on the kitchen table! Turns out they shipped it on the 6th (from Colorado). I got a brand new, shrink-wrapped unit which ...

My new A70 showed up today. It turns out it shipped Thursday even though they had not update on my RMA when I called Friday. Downloading my Nook app now!

Just checked Amazon and they show five in stock from a 3rd party reseller for $340 (ouch).

I appreciate all the well reasoned responses. I've decided I'm going to hang tight and hope the A70 becomes available. One thing that helped me decide was a trip to an AT&T store today where I played with an Ipad and Tab. I just like the smaller form better. Hopefully, the wait isn't going to be too...

Didn't work for me. I bought it, it said it was installed and I couldn't find it anywhere. All of my other apps have installed with no problem. Refunds are good for only 15 minutes, so I got my refund. Disappointed cuz it looked good. It wont show up in you Apps drawer. Did you go into Settings->La...
