Re: Netflix App

I just tried the new Netflix 1.4 on both my Archos 43 and my Archos 70 8gb. It works on both of them but not really all that well.

Unless I reboot before I run Netflix the audio is out of sync. Rebooting right before I load it fixes that, but not every time. I'm not sure why. It seems to work ...

Re: Touchscreen...?

I use a spare stylus from my wife's HTC Touch Pro 2. It's important to get one that won't scratch the very soft screen of the A43. The Touch Pro2 stylus is good for that--a nice and fine tip, but quite soft. My Sony Clie stylus was much too hard--it was made for a glass Clie screen and scratched up ...

Re: What I think Archos should do.

I have a build of the Gingerbread keyboard that doesn't have the cut-off problem if anybody is interested. I just compiled the one on github, and added a more symbols to the comma and period popups.

Technically, the problem with the cut-off apps is that the apps are relying on the screen resolution ...

Re: Running two apps on the same screen

On PalmOS, there was an unofficial standard for Desk Accessories, which were mini apps (e.g., calculator, notepad) that you could invoke on top of a primary running app. Some of them took over the whole screen and some showed up in a smaller window. It wasn't multitasking--when the DA was running ...

SDE and media in Gen 8

Does installing SDE affect the multimedia capabilities at all on Gen8 devices (I have an A43)? Or do all the standard codecs and DRM modules stay functional, as long as you boot Android rather than Angstrom?

Re: Warrenty void when using Angstom dual boot 2.2 from Arch

The wording was that the warranty is voided and that Archos is not responsible for damage caused by SDE installation. This suggested to me that damage NOT caused by SDE installation is still covered, so I queried Archos tech support for clarification.

Here's my query:
I saw your note that if one ...
