Man, this is an old thread. I bought it in Jan. I sold it in June. Advice is NOT needed anymore concerning the A43IT.
I now have a HTC Desire HD

Have fun.

This app does nothing useful on the Archos A43IT, or on any device with a resistive screen.



There are multiple users, incl the above user and myself who prove the app works on resistive screens.
Your answer is theoretical. Practically the case is different.You haven't tried anything!

I was ...

This is amazing! I can now use the Archos with just one hand - holding in my palm and scrolling with my thumb.

I selected the "Super Optimized" settings. Sensitivity is at 15, the next two are 0 and Motion Filter is 99. Hey man, thanks. Your settings works great. Now it "feels" like it is a ...

I like mine too. It also has a board version A43-V4

Great! Thanks for the link

Thanks for the replies - I'll give it a go and see how I feel about it. It seems that many people aren't using this may tell me all I need to know - thanks again.

Post your result and tell us how you feel, but don't just say" I used it, I don't like it"
Why don't you try it yourself :badgrin ...

Right on their downloads page: "The firmware is the operating system. As any computer system, it is periodically updated. We strongly suggest you update yours as soon as the latest one is released."

Thank you! every manufacturer recommends it,also archos And. Did you notice any improvement ...

I am not surprised, same way a WP7 user will say about Android, it sucks. That is why people should try it out themselves, if they don't like it, delete it, not the end of the world. So many free launchers out there for Android. To me. It was nice to try. But it isn't for me. That's also why I ...

Cause the manufaturer recommends it ;)but i have downgrade it to .81 and .80 but never solved this problem, solved the problem with quickpic! Really :? I didn't read anything about that. Can you point me to it. Where it is written that "Archos is recommending to install this fw on the A43IT ...

Nope. The moral of the story is, leaving things until they actually break can be a really stupid thing to do. Has nothing to do with any moral.You knew what is meant with it, if not well :?
It is useless to install fw when nothing for your device has changed in it. Nor when your device is working ...

No need to install on the A43IT, no changes!

I am just wondering if the big tiles as opposed to icons might make for a better user experience?

You've only looked at the video. I've tried it. It sucks like WP7 sucks too! :)

The best way is to try it yourself, no need to listen to anybody. That is why androidOS is so good, you can install ...

Why did you install the update? Nothing has changed for the 43

If it ain't broken. Don't fix it.

If you needed the barcode scanning to work properly, you shouldn't have bought the 43IT. There is nothing you can do about it. "IF Six was Nine" :)

Where did you got that idea?
Well I use it for more then only barcode scanning. And it does work great.Music, surfing, reading, youtube, apps etc ...

What are you trying to say?

The tab was still on the camera on my A43, just now. I hoped removing it would solve my problems with barcode scanning. But it didn't. I basically don't care about making photo or Video. I have other camera's for that. I need the barcode scanning to work properly.

I was getting a 'no storage space' message when ever I tried to download a new app so I performed a 'Full Installation' from the repair and formatting menu. I have re-established my network connection and reinstalled Appslib but I am still getting the same error message whenever I try to download ...

You guys in Europe must be getting price gouged. The A43IT is going for $199.99 US. The current price for the SGP 4.0 is $199.99 US. So at the moment the products are equal in cost (at least in the United States). We pay 16% tax and our Ôé¼1,- equals $1.30[/quote]
