Re: Used Gen 8 values at rock bottom

Wow,my 43 has no value at all. $18 if I add a power adapter, which it did not come with.

this isn't really Newegg though. Though I'm sure they get a good buck for using their name.

Re: Firmware 2.3.81 released - report bugs here

I have no clue yet if my reboot issue is resolved but I sure do wish I lived close enough that I could throw this piece of crap at the company. Now every single file I try to play I get an error "Sorry this player does not support this type of audio file" This is all the same music I've had on here ...

Re: New Gen 8 Firmware within 2 weeks

So who is going to be one of the first to try it out when it is finally released?
Personally, I think I'll just download it and wait for the pro/con comments before I install it.
Some of us MUST install it no matter what. It can not be worse than barely being able to use it now. Ok, it can be, but ...

Re: Why did you get an ARCHOS Tablet (PDA) and not a Smartph

I didn't need this. BUT, I got a 43IT because I refuse to pay for data on my cell phone. Most of the time I am at home or work where I have wifi. And I've learned 3/4 of the stores and restaraunts I go to seem to have wifi also, so why pay $30 for a data plan. Actually I asked for this or a new ...

Re: new firmware 2.3.26 - report bugs here

I can no longer wait for them for a solution. It is not even usable in this condition. $250 for a paperweight sux. Time for SDE, root and to go back to 2.1.8 that worked flawless for me. Step by step makes it quite simple. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930197

Re: Low on space?

If you search around this is a major complaint with the Archos. The size is more like 300mb from what I've seen although mine only shows 269mb of space. There is no reason they can not give more space. I know a couple people who ran out of space, as have I. With many apps now taking up 10-20 mb you ...

Re: Firmware downgrade question sent to Archos

In about three weeks Archos will respond asking you a million questions about your purchase so that they can start an RMA. Then another week or two will go by before they ask the same questions again, and then shortly after you tell them to read the previous email or check the Archos store (where I ...

Re: Firmware downgrade question sent to Archos

I only have two concerns about this. The warranty void, and losing all my information. Even simple things like save points in games sound trivial but add up.

I may have to bite the bullet soon though. This 2.3.36 does not like my 43 :(

Yes the warranty is invalidated and there's no way around it ...

Re: Firmware downgrade question sent to Archos

I've found it's possible to downgrade. In fact I've done what you want to do, gone from 2.3.26 to 2.1.8. The method involves installing the Archos Special developer edition firmware (SDE) and Urukdroid and this probably voids your warranty, but I've played around with the SDE a few times and if you ...

Firmware downgrade question sent to Archos

Can you give me directions how to downgrade the firmware on my Archos 43? Ever since I updated the firmware to 2.3.26 I have had many problems. There are two main issues I have. The 43 randomly reboots with no one even touching it, sometimes it boots over and over and over. Also, half the time it ...

Re: new firmware 2.3.26 - report bugs here

I'm sick and tired of getting the error "sorry the player does not support this type of audio file"

I want to go back to 2.1.8 when I didn't have this problem.

Sure a reboot solves it, (temporarily) but that's a pain when all you want to do is listen to some tunes.

Re: Archos 43 Newest firmware update question

no ideas, sorry

*I also have random reboots, sometimes infinite.
*Also, when I try to play music I get the same error on every file. (15GB worth) "Sorry the player does not support this type of audio file"

worst upgrade ever
1. more than 10 time in 2 days I found it stuck at startup screen, never came out without hard reset
2. very sluggish
I am reverting back....


All seriousness, if you figure out a way to revert back to 2.1.08 please share with us. As far as I know you can go back to 2.3.20 and ...
