Hi all

Hi guys,

I'm about to buy the archos g9 250GB but I searched here at XDA to know more about this tablet and to see if the HDD version is good and fast enough... and I can see here that the fastest and most stable version of this tablet is the archos g9 10GB Turbo... but this one is expensive in Israel (About 425$) than the 8GB version (About 337$)! But the 8GB version has the ARM Cortex A9 1.0GHz Dual Core while the 16GB turbo have 1.2GHz Turbo version: OMAP™ 4 smart multi-core ARM CORTEX A9...

So I want to know which one is the best for my Dad, He just need a simple tablet to surf the web sometimes, watch Videos on the web (Flash players) etc... so the 250GB HDD could be a "nice to have" feature, but if it's to slow, Then I prefer the 8GB version...

and as I mentioned the "Turbo" is expensive here... so which one it's gonna be? the 8GB or the 250GB?

Thanks! I think that i'm gonna buy that tablet tomorrow, so I'll be happy to get some answers from you guys, 10x again :)

Hi Avi,

I bought this tablet (Turbo 16G version) for my wife a week ago.

Actually AFAIK the Turbo version sold here (in Israel) is just an overclocked version of the non-turbo, since the real turbo version should be 1.5Ghz and have a different processor model.

Anyhow, the web browsing is fine, but beware that Flash works really bad on it.

I don't know if it works well on other tablets or not, but on this one it will freeze constantly during play.

Also I tried Mako VOD/Hot VOD apps and though they run, they won't play any video (except an occasional commercial now & then), but I don't know if it's because of this specific tablet, or because of the Flash issue.

Youtube apps works well, and so does streaming files from other computers.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] GadgetAvi:
Hey there mike,

I see that you are from Israel to, where did you buy it? BUG? or some other place?

so you don't recommend for the 16G version huh?

and as I can see here the 250GB version is not stable and very slow... so what’s left is that 8GB version which is the chipset one anyway here in israel...

but I see that there is a great deal at BUG stores on the 250GB, the price is almost same as the 8GB version, SO i Really thinking if I should buy the 250G or the 8G... :\

And about flash players - I test flash players and flash based Websites on my Samsung galaxy S2 and my friend's Motorola XOOM

and all flash players worked great, specially the JWplayer and the JustinTV players...

about Mako and other Israeli VOD sites, most of them are not in real flash, the players are flash Based UI, but the actual Video is WMV and not even FLV or MP4... so they won't work on android devices, but there are Dedicated applications for Mako on the Android market... try it...

10x anyway dude, I think I'm goanna jump to bug and play with this device and then see if it's Goanna be the 8G or the 250G...

Thanks...

Ok guys, never mind, I bought the Asus transformer eventually... I checked that Archos, and it's a Cute tablet, but the quality is mid range, and yes, sadly the one that I wanted purchase was with that known screen defect!
[Gen9, Gen10 General] over's tab:
what keyboard are you using? standard Android or market app?

I have had same lag randomly on older 80g9 8gb & new 80g9 16gb 1.5ghz turbo.

what is causing this? I've been using Perfect Keyboard app and love it but wonder if its the issue
[Gen9, Gen10 General] soulclaimed:
Only stock i installed others but only stock appears maybe i missed some settings....
[Gen9, Gen10 General] over's tab:
That kinda sucks that its not the keyboard app. getting other keyboards active is more of a pain on these, I can't remember exact procedure but keep messing with settings and you'll get it.

try Perfect Keyboard app from market, it takes a while to get used to & adjust but for a free app its very nice, I had mine tuned and comfortable to work within a week and I can't stand any other now, I'm typing mostly with thumbs on split landscape w #pad in middle and cool arrow keys at bottom that are like a mouse for cursor positioning
[Gen9, Gen10 General] steve adams:
Since its not a big brand name here I cannot sell my archos g9. I'm getting the transformer prime and dock when they show up in stores here. I want to try it before I buy.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] darthfaber:
like my archos 80 g9 verry much low price fine machine
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Shano56:
I wouldn't say it's a piece of junk..but the first one crapped out on me, the cheap usb charger connectors that are only loosely soldered onto the mother board probably broke, got an RMA replacement, had it for a month or so, and the stupid damn 2 foot cord is so short, the tablet gets knocked off of things so easily that it broke the usb connector right out after a 3 foot drop. Pissed me off :/
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Mavamaarten:
I don't think it's a piece of crap.

As for the lag, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Maybe it's because I have the 1,5 Ghz Turbo version with 1 GB ram, but I haven't experienced lag so far. Scrolling in the browser is extremely smooth. Everything is smooth really.

There's only 1 bad thing in my opinion about the G9, and that's the bad viewing angles of the screen. I mostly use it upside down because of that.

The camera is pretty bad indeed but I never use it anyways. It's a nice gadget but seriously, I don't use my tablet to take pictures.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] hatch76:
Have to agree on the Lag issue. I have the 8GB / 512 MB non turbo. Lag is unusable, slow browser pages, multitasking slow. Tried all available stock roms so far, reformat, not installed flash. Probably sounds worse than it is, but in my opinion not usable day to day, although just going through homescreens and small apps seems fine. I suspect the limitation is RAM, both too little and too slow. Then again my 800mhz 512mb ram ipad 1 flies past this .....

Certainly a little worse with ICS. I foolishly waited for ICS thinking it would be more optimized ! Shame , because on paper this should be a capable tablet. The media playback is very good, probably will keep for the kids to watch in he car . But browsing in particular with stock / chrome / dolphin is not really up to the mark.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] pwnedu46:
The only thing that bugs me about it is that the screen gets slightly distorted when even slight pressure is applied to the back. I had to send my first one back because of screen only showing in greyscale after a week or so of use and charging problems. I haven't had any problems with my replacement one, except the distortion problem I mentioned. I did manage to break the kickstand (which I really liked:( ) by applying too much pressure. Its still fully attached in 1 piece, but now it leans back too far.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] pwnedu46:
I had the connector on the charger cable bend but they sent me a free replacement. I do agree that the cable is too short; you can get a USB extension cable from any electronics store. This extension has solved the problem.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] rockmonkey1973:
Well thankfully i have shipped it back to the seller. not sure exactly what was wrong with hardware or software but every time i would wake it after a long sleep i would get the google.servcies has stopped working error. that along with the browser not being able to handle 2 or 3 open tabs unresponsive touch screen and all manner of other faults and failings is enough to say stop, this aint right.

Honestly it is such a shame because i really really wanted to like the tablet. the inbuilt media server was the best i have ever used and it handled pdf files so well.

think this will be my last foray into arhcos territory though. yes they made a good mp3 player a long time ago but mate they sure as s+++ dont know how to make tablets.

EDIT: Got a refund and bought an acer iconia tab a100. slightly smaller screen but with a larger dev community and an unlocked bootloader. all round pretty happy with that. honestly though i was gutted the 80 g9 performed the way it did. one of those products that really could have been...

[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Abyss19707:
I am looking for developers to develop a ROM for the HTC Shirft or the Samsung 7in Tablet from Sprint that dual boots Ice Cream Sandwhich and Webos.

Both OSes on the device would be sweat
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] HazzaBlake:
Personally i like Webos. But about 70% of others don't. most likely because of it's lack of customization and apps. It would be nice to see the dying OS ported to other devices to give it new life, but don't get your hopes up.

The devs simply don't seem to be too interested in porting Webos to other devices. :(
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Abyss19707:
I know it is sad for lack of support but Webos fans will support this. A person on one of the Webos forums is trying to wire the HTC Shift to work with the touchpad's charging dock, so there is still hope!:)
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] e_rl:
WebOS isn't open source yet, that's why nobody is porting it. -_-
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] pflaume:
It's not open source YET, but in a few month it will be and I'm hopeful that some devs will port it on other devices then.

The are two things I'm a bit worried about is webOS for other phones. Since I read a blog post which was all about the open source plan of HP I afraid that only the Touchpads 3.x webOS will be open sourced.

The other thing is the maybe missing feature of using gestures on phones. I mean webOS is all about gestures and I love to use my Pre3 with these gestures and the special gesture area, cause it's easy to use and superfast. But when ported on a phone, let's say a Galaxy S2, will there be gestures or does the user have to use the stupid buttons?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] lovenokia:
the enyo framework stuff was released today.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] ponde:
Where are you developers and porters?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] T4L0n:
Grave digging this thread but I'm curious as well. Love the WebOS. Would be highly interested if it was portable to Skyrocket. Yes, I would do that to my skyrocket.

I own a touchpad ;)
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Cetus90:
I would do that to my skyrocket too. It be nice to have gestures and simplicity WebOS. There's a mod out there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhpnlyBb6xI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] tpmullan:
I may try to port it to my skyrocket. It would be a fun project. Do you think there would be enough people to use it?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] njtroncoso:
I would!
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] 22350:
i would too
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] downwiththebanksters:
My vote is to port it to a device with a massive user base, such as my SGS2, or an HD2. I still play with my Pre- and it sits on my coffee table. After reading The Verge post mortem I understand why it died, but it still is the best UX hands down. Imagine it running on blazing fast hardware, but I wonder how much is lost without a keyboard?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Moshe5368:
It seems that everyone has move on from webOS within the android community (well, almost everyone). I am one of the die hard fans of the OS and continue to use it daily. Of course, my needs for an OS are different from many , and I come from a solid Linux/Unix background. I have used palm products for years and followed webOS from the beginning. There are times when I come off like a fanboi for webOS but it has seemed to be an elegant solution for true multi tasking from the beginning. I hear most folks here talking of the untimely demise of webOS and cannot help but wonder if they have decided not to follow the development of Open WebOS. The community edition of webOS is due out in Sept and there are a number of major improvements coming with it. There is also the Phoenix project which may be building another tablet running the open source WebOS.

For those who have moved on from webOS and are satisfied with android, I bid you fair well. I will continue to work within the webOS community and look forward to future development. For those who are still on the fence, I would suggest a bit of patience as there are good things in the future of webOS and this fall really isn't that far off. Whichever OS you choose, remember that the touch pad that you have is still one of the few dual boot tablets on the market and (for those who were not early adopters) was purchased for a reduced price that would be hard to match by any other tablet manufacturer. The hardware is still pretty good compaired to most all dual core tablets and is still able to run cutting edge android builds. This alone would be a good argument for sticking with the touch pad but I stick with it for the things it continues to do well within webOS.

I want to install Android OS on Palm Pixi Plus.

[WebOS Software and Hacking General] donsh00tmesanta:
I remember when I had my pre you could place your phone in dev mode (root) by a simple dialer code reboot and itd be unlocked then you can install preware and from there install anything you want. I remember patches that added lots more functionality to the OS. Much simpler than android
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] fatclue:
I'll buy the lack of apps argument, but customization? Kiddin' me? Installing Preware couldn't be any easier if they tried. Only Windows Mobile was easier than webOS.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] spitfire2425:
I would defiantly try it on my skyrocket.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] dragon_76:
Ideally webOS that could run Android apps would be great. The UX on webOS is second only to Windows Phone IMO, but webOS needs the app power of Android.

I had a Pre+ for a weekend but after the third time swapping it out because of hardware problems, I gave up on it. The hardware was always the problem. They should have had HTC manufacture it like the Treos.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] stanleyyork11:
I'd run it on my X8 I like the look of WebOS and nearly bought a PalmPre when they were released!

I would love to run webOS on my S4! I ran through a PalmPre1 twice, and bought a Pre2 developer device as soon as they were available to buy (great deal $80 for a fully loaded Pre2 - unlocked) and ran it for a few years without even having service on it.. (Bricked it sadly by accident - R.I.P. my pre2) and moved onto android when the pre3 got nixed..

I would rock webOS 3.0.4 dual boot if I could.. And I would be more than willing to help develop it with someone if they wanted

Quite simply, I find the power button inconveniently located on the NC, especially since it is obscured when my NC is installed in my leather folio case.

YABD - Yet Another Broken Digitiser.

A couple of months ago my hd2 decided it didn't like me anymore and wouldn't respond to touch input. I gave up on it, but I'm really missing it and have been looking to get it fixed.

I've been looking at digitizers on ebay (non-soldering type)

Could someone who's done this please help me and point out if either one of this is the right kind?

1st ebay link

2nd ebay link

I have the T-Mobile HD2 but am in the UK. From what I've read the T-Mobile version has the "plug-in type" so it should be what I need.
[HD2 General] GhostKlart:
well, just try searching tmous lcd

but the thing is that our device is quite old and there might not be anything left
[HD2 General] dumbquestion:
I've been a few months without my HD2 and got an Infuse to tide me over. My HD2 had the same problem and HTC said repairs would be as high as $160. I bought the glass for $26 thinking that I have replaced one on an Aria, iphone4 and repaired someone else's work on an iPhone4, so this should be cake. I watched every video I could find, got all my tools out and with a few undisturbed hours and a well-lit office, set to work... and totally BORKED my phone. The digitizer ended up separating into a deck of mylar-like cards and reintroduced me to its version of 52 card pickup. Disassembling to the point of the touchscreen/digitizer is easy enough, but that touchscreen/digitizer is a b****! I then ordered another glass & digitizer (not already sealed together) and set about putting those in, and... I am back where I started - with a non-responsive touchscreen. I ended up findin an HD2 on craigslist for $100- in winmo only, the touchscreen is sometimes nonresponsive, but haven't had this issue show up in AmericanAndroid, SD version (yet). If you try to do it yourself, watch every video and get this http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-HTC-HD2...005?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b0ad776d for the TMoUS version.

do NOT use the ones in your ebay links as getting the glass separated from the digitizer is FAR more difficult (yes I used plenty of heat) than anyone lets on.
[HD2 General] Moon2:
Well, I had attempted a repair on my hd2 (the international one); which I messed up big time.

After reading that comment, I guess I'll just sell for parts.

Problem is, I'm now in the UK, and getting it from the US means having to pay heavy customs charges on top of buying the phone.

I cant directly measure my CPU temp, as that feature is not offered on our phone which really sucks, i have to go by the battery.

I have not the slightest clue but I would think you would go by how it feels in your hand and whether or not you can "smell" the cpu burning.
