If you're anything like me, you're frustrated with having only 300MB of an 8GB drive available to install applications. Sure, custom firmware is a potential solution, but should we really have to void our warranties for basic, no-brainer functionality? I say no! Sign this petition, and once we have a demonstrated body of people interested, we can all make Archos aware of it.

http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/archosgen8

Thanks, friends.
[Gen8 General] cutterjohn:
as I wrote [EDIT] on Archosfans forum [/EDIT] 1GB is fine for the A43 and up considering the uSD slot, but max I could accept for my A32 would be to go to a max of 512MB.

I'd doubt that A28 owners would want to give ANY space up at all, but it's even more limited as far as storage goes than the A32 and I'd have to call it of questionable usefulness for apps given that I really only run apps on the A32 in a pinch. (Probably because I find the ultra low res annoying... not to mention the A28 is also further constrained by available RAM...)
[Gen8 General] thiazzi:
Right, so an optional firmware update or modification would be ideal. I trust the folks are Archos are savvy enough to account for everybody's needs.
[Gen8 General] darren1:
If you have root (Archangel works) try Move2SD Enabler.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=720739

Its fantastic, read the instructions and don't move any system apps or apps using widgets.
[Gen8 General] thiazzi:
I have installed move2sd enabler, and it definitely helps. However, if you like to read a lot like I do and have Kobo, Nook, Kindle, Aldiko, and OverDrive installed, they still leave a combined total of like 30MB+ on the system storage! That's 10 percent or more of the app partition just for books. Throw in a couple of games like Pocket Legends and Angry Birds, and you're cooked! :(

I wish more devs would be like the folks that made Highborn or Shadow Era, and only leave like 300KB of the original 44MB apk on system storage, but I think petitioning Archos is more likely to help our little Gen 8 community more immediately.

Thanks for the sigs, folks. We're already up over 20!
[Gen8 General] cutterjohn:
You know actually thinking about this the gTablet and many other just allocate 2GB to app storage, which I wouldn't mind either. OTOH I think that I've barely used 425MB or so max on the gTab at one time or another...

IIRC many games with "HUGE" (well for mobile devices) seem to prefer to put their data in /sdcard which depending upon device is actually the SD card(or uSD) or the leftover internal flash not assigned to system or data etc. I must admit to not having really paid attention to how the Archos tabs do it as I've left bothof mine bog standard stock fw plus various additional apps which suits me for what I use them for.

(Even my phone is stock but that's gonna have to change as it has even LESS storage for apps which is also shared for things like messaging... but I'm going to try to hold out for the next update then go to a CM7 variant that pushes apps out onto the uSD...)
[Gen8 General] mr-mac:
Would rather they made it an option (like the FAT32/ext3 choice).

Making it compulsory and 1gb is not in everyones interests. Some users will instill no apps or very few and want all the storage for music/movies etc. Forcing 1GB apps area on them is wrong and will also mean archos are not providing the advertised storage in these users eyes.

I suggest we request they add an option to either turn on/off the larger 1GB apps area. Or have a drop down box where the user can choose apps area. Say; 300MB (Standard/Default), 500MB, 750MB, 1GB & 2GB. This way the user can choose the most suitable apps partaition size for themselves and on the flipside Archos are still providing (selling) the advertised data storage out of the box.

Not sure how but, if others agree, can we ammend this petition so we are asking archos to allow the user to select a larger apps partition either 1GB (yes/no arrangement) or select apps partition size from a small list.

Would this idea not be much better for all concerned.

Kind Regards

[Gen8 General] Unmensch:
I don't support this petition and think the devs should rather spend their time with something more important. I only install the applications I need and uninstall everything I don't need. If one really needs more, then he can install Uruk.
[Gen8 General] blogmaw:
1Gb might be a little too much : I only have the 8gb model (hopefully I have a 16Gb sd card)!
[Gen8 General] stimpy_gr:
Even if you uninstall you will find that you are still eating up space. Furthermore, using UrukDroid voids your warranty and this shouldn't be required. The 101 was advertised with 8/16GB and no mention was included in the marketing material about the 256MB capacity for apps. This should not be an issue but it is and it is a bit peevish of you to take such a position since the worst thing that could happen in your case is a reduction of internal storage by some megabytes, which even if you were using you can make up with an SD card.
[Gen8 General] whatsupa:
This is one of those things that bugs me about android; why cant I choose the install location? I now have 4 android devices, so I am not hating on it. I just miss all the features of Symbian and WinMo 6.5, like installing where I want. If anyone knows why they did it this way im all ears, maybe they had a reason?
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
Easy Answer.

There are paid Apps in the Market and the ( google ) needed a more or less easy but effective way to secure them so that stealing them is not easy.

So in the first 6 incarnations Apps are phone Memory only.

With Froyo they invented a feature where the appdev could decide that and how much of the app could be put somewhere else.

So if there would be none/less people stealing apps there would be no need for this.

[HD7 General] circleofomega:
Why doesn't a developer make a small app with the right values and put it on the Marketplace. Then we, people who haven't (yet) unlocked their devices, can install the small .xap and get sorted with the color banding issue...

Its just a thought...I dont know the technicalities as I am not a programmer...

So will it work???
[HD7 General] ST13Hogan:
no because MS will not let this app into marketplace. an official app may not have direct acces to the registry of the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] graffixnyc:
I took the plunge and ordered a g2x. I'm coming from a mytouch 4g that has 768mb of ram (running cm 7) how is the free ram holding up on the g2x since it only has 512? Thats the one thing im most concerned about.

Anyone coming from a device that had more than 512 and is seeing a noticeable difference? When I had my g2 I was lucky if I had 80 megs of free space. With my mt4g with 768 I always have at least 200 sometimes 300 megs free
[T-Mobile LG G2x] studacris:
With linux/android free ram is wasted ram, it will free up memory when it's needed otherwise just let it chill and do it's thing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tgerbracht:
Seems snappy so far. One slowdown last night though not sure what was contributing. Great phone!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DeezNotes:
This phone is pretty quick. I don't monitor things like how much ram is used or available unless there is an issue to troubleshoot. So far, no issues as far as performance is concerned. Even when launching multiple apps and not closing them. It appears that android is doing what it's supposes to.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] allen099:
According to Advanced Task Manager, there is about 200MB available to me upon startup. It's not too bad, and I don't have to intentionally kill apps (unless they go rogue and keep the GPS on for some reason). It's just enough, but I'm hoping CM7 frees up a bit more.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyberchuck9000:
Linux by nature doesn't require a bunch of free RAM sitting around. 512MB seems to be plenty, I've had numerous apps running together and haven't seen many hiccups at all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jimbo831:
Keep in mind the G2x doesn't even have 512MB RAM. 128 of those is reserved for the GPU so the phone runs with just 384MB RAM. I am a little worried, come a year or so down the road, but for now it seems to be more than enough.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] graffixnyc:
A year or so down the road this phone will be old news and there will be quad core phones out by then. Lol. I never hold a phone longer than a year. Just this year alone I went from the g2 to the mytouch 4g and now I'm getting the g2x and I bet by the end of the year I have a different phone. Lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jimbo831:
I only wish I could afford to do that. Unfortunately, I won't have $500 to plop down on a new phone any time soon so I had to pick a phone I think will last the full 22 months until I'm eligible for another upgrade. I still went with the G2x. I think it will be fine, so I hope I'm right.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mg00000:
Well, not frozen quite like Wesley Snipes and Stallone, but close. <zing!>

I think it is time to say buy buy to the Droid 1, <zing! again>.......as of yesterday morning, it is frozen on the power-on screen, and nothing i'm trying is getting it to reboot past that. I have taken the battery out and replaced it several times, tried plugging its charger into the wall and tried the self boot (or DOS like boot) via the "x", the VOL-down, and cam buttons, but it just sits and stares at me with its red droid eye, probably telling me its time to let go and i've burned out my great phone!

So, would anyone recommending going to a VZ store and checking if they have a random used Droid 1 there until i feel like actually taking my upgrade when a good Droid phone comes to VZ? i really don't want to just take anything right now, b/c i'd be stuck w/it for two years. Or, i could ask for a phone like the Fascinate while i'm deciding on my next contract-phone. Does anyone think that they'll buy that??

What would you do?

Edit: Ooops, forgot only my N.C. is in my profile, so as far as details, its a Droid OG, with mod GPA 14, and overclocked using a kernel from Peter's site as well. thanks.

[Nexus S General] Buried:
Alright so I was following some YouTube idiot and rooted my phone wrongly, so it wouldn't boot, so I downloaded the GRI54 Deodexed and flashed it on, completely stock, however, there are 2 weird problems on my GT-i9023 Nexus S

Problem 1 - The wi-fi is WEAK. Not just normal weak, EXTREMELY WEAK. I'm only 1 meter away from the router and I've already lost 1-2 bar(s)??? When I'm out atschool and use my iPod Touch 4g, I get full-bars but with my Nexus S I have only 1 bar and the internet doesn't work at all!

Problem 2 - Youtube buffers videos fine on the wi-fi, but with EVERY video after 1 minute it would come up with an error saying something like touch to retry, and it happens EVERY MINUTE. LITERALLY. 1 minute later, bam, video stops loading. So I reload the video, continue from where it stopped and BAM one minute later, touch to retry.

What the heck is wrong here? The GSM signal is awesome/amazing, I get fullbars everywhere, but the wi-fi and youtube are annoying me.

Should I try out a custom ROM to see if it fixes this problem??
[Nexus S General] Buried:
Tried custom roms, same thing.
[Nexus S General] 0x6d6b:
What channel is your W-LAN AP set to?
[Nexus S General] Buried:
Was 6, changed it to 1, no difference.

Oh and I restored using Odin and the weak wi-fi was resolved.

But I still have this weird YouTube problem where it will load a video, then suddenly stop loading it after 1 minute in HQ mode and 3 minutes in non-HQ mode, it's like the wi-fi sleeps or something.
[Nexus S General] Mr.Bank:
same problem here. Cannot watch youtube videos on both youtube app and browser.
[Nexus S General] Buried:
Yeah, same. But weirdly enough Vimeo videos buffer and load just fine, and I can enjoy the whole video? WEIRD.
[Nexus S General] RisinT96:
I have same YouTube problem.

About wifi it seems like I have a problem too: I have a router at home and there are some places where my father's old HTC touch HD gets the wifi and my device doesn't even see the network.
[Nexus S General] pkilla:
I'm on stock 2.32 had the nexus s since Jan or Feb and I never

Had wifi or you tube problems it must be all that rooting and rom experimenting y'all been

Doing....
[Nexus S General] 0x6d6b:
Well I'm running a custom ROM and have no problems. My Wifi reception is acceptable and even when I'm far away from my access point and getting just 18 Mbit/s YouTube videos load just fine, HQ mode too.

Problem can be the channel your access point is set to our other Wifis in your neighborhood. You could also try to update the radio on your Nexus S and disable the sleep policy for Wifi connections.
[Nexus S General] nikhilodeons:
Same here. Even if i sit right next to the router, my wifi speeds are pathetic. Is this a problem with the handset or the android 2.3.4 OS?

Any luck finding out???
[Nexus S General] DarkManX4lf:
My wifi speeds are fine but I did notice the drop in signal. I realized the wifi antenna might be on the bottom or near the bottom of the phone where the buldge on the back of the phone. If you put your hand over that spot your signal will drop ....it's sorta like the iPhones grip of death.
[Nexus S General] styckx:
Youtube sucks.. It buffers more than Realplayer did in 1998 on dialup. Nothing to do with your phone..

[EVO 4G General] lovespancakes96:
I meant like if I have a light leakage and I need to get my phone replaced and I'm not in the 30 days
[EVO 4G General] dcfella:
Try going to a Sprint store and showing them the phone. They may give you a replacement even if you don't have insurance. I just got my replacement handset yesterday. I brought my phone in on Monday due to water stains on the screen when I installed a screen protector. I was told it wouldn't be covered, but I decided to try my local Sprint store anyways. I showed the guy working there and told him I didn't have insurance, but he ordered me a replacement and all I had to do was pay the $35 "repair fee" even though he never even opened the phone.
[EVO 4G General] lovespancakes96:
Would they let me get a different phone
[EVO 4G General] dcfella:
Maybe. They gave me a different phone. I just unrooted before I gave them back my old phone.
[EVO 4G General] Arnezie:
Sorry , tour question originally was very unspecified . Ok so yes as it has been stated take it to a sprint store, but if you don't like what they say then just go to another because there is no consistency among stores.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Take it to a sprint store, make sure the phone is NOT rooted. Tell them the problem, which if it is light leakage, thats a hardware problem, and is covered under the 1 year warranty. If they try to tell you anything different, ask to talk to a manager, and tell them you want it replaced under the 1 year warranty.

No, you will not get a different model phone. Yes, you may get a refurb evo, actually there is a 95% chance you will get a refurb.
