Re: Screen has developed some sort of fault

Never used it for a prolonged duration. 2 x 30 minute train rides then perhaps 20 minutes in the evening. Have a decent Tuff-Luv case for it so surprised this has happened. Its not a huge deal at the moment but my fear is that the shadow will spread.
BTW there's a first time for everything!

Screen has developed some sort of fault

My Archos 70 has developed some screen fault (it's over a year old now).
The bottom right-hand corner has a 'shadow' on it, as if the casing is being pressed pressurising the screen. At first it came and went depending on how I was holding the device, but now it's on it permanently. It's mainly ...

Re: Deal Extreme Nokia USB host cable confirmed to work

The cable supplied by this company does not terminate with a micro usb as required by the Archos 70. While of similar size it is a non standard connector with a different shape. Using it, is likely to damage the tablet connector. The company's over complicated support system makes it impossible to ...

Re: screen protector

My Archos 70 screen protector came from Tuff-Luv. Absolutely perfect you'd hardly know its there except the screen is easier to wipe of fingerprints.

Onscreen menu disappeared for ages

I was charging my Archos 70 and picked it up to check something on the internet..did a double take as the onscreen menu was gone! I went into wi-fi buddy and had no way to go back to the previous screen, but when I long held the power button the onscreen menu suddenly came onscreen from the right ...

Re: Volume limit

There is a volume control widget with Widgetsoid, it gives different levels for media, alarm, ringer etc. The alarm on my phone after using this widget was louder but I don't know if it'll fix the particular issue you have with the 32. Worth a shot.

Re: Screen rotation lock

One of the Widgets you get with Widgetsoid locks the screen in landscape..is it possible to lock the screen on this Archos 70 in portrait mode?

Anyone see this? What would make you jump for this over the tablet?

Re: a tip for laggy games...

Yeah aGibbets can be frustrating for that arrow moving against the death clock :badgrin: but pulling your finger off the screen vertically helps at the right moment..

Re: Your fav games

aGibbets game is great fun you have to shoot an arrow at the rope to let the hanging man drop. You can of course hit the bloke instead and be rewarded with some man-screams..great free fun and plays well on the Archos. :)

Re: MARKET AVAILABLE ONLINE NOW!!!

This site worked fine for me, giving me an option between my Archos 70 and ZTE Blade. I installed a game on the Archos but wasn't connected to the wi-fi, 15 minutes later I put the Blade's portable hotspot on and it downloaded to the Archos then no problem.

Re: Kindle App Screen Orientation

I have that toggle from Widgetsoid (excellent free widgets), but when you disable the default screen orientation on the Archos is landscape. The lock within Kindle seems to be upside-down Archos in portrait mode. Hmm

Kindle App Screen Orientation

Might be a simple answer to this, but anyway.. I'm reading a book on the Kindle app whilst on the train, and at times the book switches to landscape by itself if I move slightly. I have run screen calibration again but still can happen. However if you press the lock symbol that pops up on the Kindle ...
