Got it in MediaMarkt for 139 euros (available online starting 119).

Model Nbr - A7EM

Firmware - 1.0.0

Kernel - 2.6.25 / root@zyy-desktop #98

Build - V 0.18.ECLAIR.eng.root.20101209.172546

First impression - pretty slow (comparing to SGS 2.2.1), bugs in original keyboard, pretty bad resistive touchscreen (seems like or a bit better than other Archos tablets) , "read" buttons are not working with all applications, very sensitive orientation sensor - switching all the time, standard Android orientation is horizontal - but the device made for vertical/portrait orientation. So too many software "features".

Also, very important for any user, they made pretty bad decision of making scroll bars very thin on such pretty large screen. Meaning that they could not be used for actual scrolling and it is almost impossible to scroll any screen.

Summary so far - NOT RECOMMENDED for a novice user, but, as I understand, pretty standard so could be "tuned" by an experienced person. Especially if 2.2 ROM could be ported to it.

PS: Could not find any extra information about device itself and how it could be rooted so far. Very limited info on official site, no firmware available, almost no postings on any sites except of 1-2 reviews.

If anybody has questions - please do it quickly. I'm planning to return this device back because it is pretty much failing it main purpose - it has no convenient ebook reader application, so, considering very limited supply in Archos app store - (Stanza is missing!), it is too much work to make this device useful.
[Gen8 General] ppav1776:
(will keep posting with info) Good news:

User 'shinset' posted very interesting video on Youtube "archos 70B ereader" : www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOqbPI3aqDQ

Some modifications were done to the software (see next post).

Not just being cool, but the device looks much snappier and many standard programs could be installed (excluding Google closed source ones as he said in comments). Also with stylus navigation on 70B resistive touchscreen is much easier than with fingers.

'NightTimeification' mentioned: "the only good thing about the A70B is the "c-paper" screen if you read a lot ". Confirming that screen looking pretty good for such a cheap model also color wise.

= Summary from the French forum (first 13 pages):

- Only temporary root with Z4Root (till reboot)

- no known access to boot manager or Froyo

- apps to be compatible with enlightens 2.1

- Suggested modification: Zeami launcher + home switcher + alternative market (Slide me)

- Office app - Quickoffice - http://gallery.mobile9.com/f/1618835/

- Opera Mini browser 5 is considered as the best browser

- Google calendar via - GCalendar Widget

- A transitional model because Archos is switching to Arnova brand later this year - www.generation-nt.com/archos-arnova-chine-strategie-tablette-android-actualite-1166241.html

- Most of people are pretty happy with functionality for this money

Now I'm not sure any more ... :)

i prefer the 7 IT

the "big" interest for this ereader is the "ADOBE DRM" !

for use epub/pdf with drm
[Gen8 General] ppav1776:
Adobe DRM

Indeed, but there is one problem with it - CPU is pretty slow, so any serious PDF is taking ages to load (like a minute to load every page). So I would not count on this device as being a good PDF reader. In emergency situation - yes, but any complex PDF - no.

PS: On my SGS phone with 1 Ghz CPU reading PDF is much more smooth, but the screen is only about 1/3 of 70b. No perfection in this world :)
[Gen8 General] ppav1776:
Played with device the whole weekend. Here is a summary of how I think about this device:

For:

Size and weight are just right (for me)

Screen type (c-paper) meaning brightness levels, contrast and colors

Overall functionality for this money

Contra:

Resistive screen

Configuration of a single Home screen is just stupid

Immature and obsolete OS version (full of small bugs)

Incompatible with many Android apps I need (not installing)

The only reasonable usage is as e-book reader. All other are inconvenient in a sense

Low chances that it would be ever properly supported by Archos

PS: I've complained to Archos. Waiting for their reaction.
[Gen8 General] ppav1776:
It looks that Archos never would contact me. So I'm bringing device back to the shop.

For others who are interested, some workarounds:

> Resistive screen

You need a stylus or something alike (finger nail) with small contact surface. Any scrolling easier to do in diagonal style: bottom_left to top_right.

Combining these two, the interface does not look so ugly any more.

> Configuration of a single Home screen

Get a different Launcher and make it default

> Incompatible with many Android apps

It should be a way. Probably in Archos Internet Tablets section they should have more information about this. May be just some libraries to be installed, may be this is just an Installer bug.

> reasonable usage is as e-book reader

It is not bad already.

WiFi driver is not power consumtion friendly - just keep it connected to charger

Browsing is not easy - just try different browsers

> not properly supported by Archos

Who cares! They are a commercial company, but there are a lot of enthusiasts around who might help.

> No bootloader or real permanent root

Get Titanium Backup and z4root, make a full backup (including System settings). So the applications could be easily re-installed and most of settings preserved.
[Gen8 General] MDA_newbie:
Brought it for less than 100 euro. I've followed the instruction, making a very usable tablet. Even Angry Brids runs on it :p. I am however looking for a calendar app, which doesn't required the stock calender as it is removed by Archos.
[Defy General] K r i ll e:
Hi all

I have recently started to have a backup problem using the clockwork mod recovery for Defy. I have used the recovery several times before (almost daily lol) and it have worked flawless, both backups and restore. Really great work with the recovery tenfar!

But now, it just keeps hangin at a point backing up a .png file:

"Finland_MTV3.png"

And it always hangs at this file (attached picture), so I can't back up my system anymore.

Just when I have made a pretty perfect running system for me tbh :(

I have tried to install the clockwork mod again, restart phone, format the sdcard, but nothing of that works.

Because I don't want to lose this setup I have not tried to do a restore, so I don't know if that works.

Yesterday i flashed my stock rom:

JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA028.0R_USAJORDANRTFR_P029_A006_HWp3_Service1FF

And deodexed the rom and enabled JIT with Higgsy's FrozenEclairDefy_V2.zip.

I then backup up my apps with Titanium Backup, restored sms, cleaned some blur widgets, overclocked with settings I used before with no prob, installed my own BlackStaBar theme and so on. Nothing I haven't done before really and the phone works just fine besides this.

Just to point out, I have not been able to do a backup at all with this setup.

Please help me guys!
[Defy General] K r i ll e:
Well I just solved it, I have no idea why it worked but it worked.

I searched for the file "Finland_MTV3.png" with root explorer and found out that it was associated with an installed app called "Tv.nu" with I always have had installed and backup-ed and restored with Titanium Backup.

First I tried to just delete the file itself to see if it was corrupted, but the recovery just stopped on another .png file associated with the app. Next step was to reinstall the app if all the files were corrupted, but no go.

So I finally deleted the app and it now works!

And if you watch my attached picture on my previous post you can see the word "Kanal" twice, well this didn't appear at all on the backup that succeeded just a minute ago. Strangely I recall seeing it on previous backups I have taken, I have no idea what it means. The backup that now worked also took a lot longer to complete.

Why the app halts the backup I'm clueless about, it have worked on every backup I have taken before.

Any reason why changing a kernel would delete my texts? I had a very important text on "lock" from yesterday and now it's gone. Can't pinpoint if it was before or after I changed kernels.... grrr.

My wife has an evo but my question is she got a pop up on her phone saying Google sign in and then it goes on to say that you entered the wrong password or your account has changed. Please re-enter your password. And it has the username filled in as her correct username and every time I try to type in her password and hit sign in it says authenticating and then takes you right back to that screen. I have never seen this before. She hasn't changed her password or even messed with anything. I always do everything for her and I go into her accounts and sync and her gmail ACct is of course not working. Anybody know what is going? Why would her password not be working anymore? Thanks for the help.

Ok guys I figured it out. I went to log into her gmail acct on the computer and ot said that there was some suspicious activity on the acct and I needed to enter my phone number to get a code sent.

Google having some security problems?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] KiddmfBrazy:
Ok i was in recovery mode and i had planned on installing a ROM called Megatron(makes cpu faster). I had a bad signal on my computer so i decided to hold off on downloading the ROM. However, i remember downloading a theme and i saw the update.zip file on my desktop. I copied it to the root of my sdcard and on my phone it read,"update.zip.zip"(didnt really bother me because i figured it was STILL considered a .zip file). Anyway, I flashed it from the sdcard and i tried to reboot my phone and it went normal until it got to the Android logo. It would have the sleek light going across the logo but then it would freeze, go blank, then come back and do the same thing again. Now i tried to backup my phone before doing this but when i tried, it wouldnt let me and it told me to do it from the adb(I dont know how). Its obvious im new to this. I dont think its bricked because it turns on and i really dont know if i voided the warranty on it or not. PLEASE HELP ME!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kkevin94:
You're bootlooping. I'm not very advanced in all this just yet, but after reading through different forums you gotta flash a factory rom.

If that doesnt work, find a .zip file of the original firmware and flash it through recovery.

My Nexus S as of just this morning is doing that, but a little differently. The screen will come on almost immediately after I turn the screen off. I am able to immediately turn it back off, but then again, it'll come right back on. I don't think it's a hardware/sticking button issue, because as long as the screen is on, the screen never goes off by itself either. Any ideas?

My Nexus S just starting do this same thing. Screen will not timeout and when I turn it off, it comes on immediately after.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalvinW:
I did some searching but couldn't find an adequate answer, so sorry if this is a duplication.

I was attempting to fix some connectivity issues and was trying out different radios on my phone. Just as one radio finished flashing my battery fell out (stupidly I was doing this without the back on) and now I can't get past the Rogers screen. Neither recovery or bootloader seem to be accessible by the normal holding of buttons method.

Is it possible to save my phone?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalvinW:
I'm an idiot... the battery wasn't the issue, I was trying to flash a 2.22.19.26 radio on a 1.33.2005 SPL.

Just to get some closure before I go and buy a new phone this thing is pretty much beyond repair, correct?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raydar670:
You might want to do some more searching on the forums. I've seen a thread before claiming you can resuscitate a bricked phone from an SPL/Radio incompatibility.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakejm79:
Hi, I recently upgraded from a HeroC to an Evo, I was running just a plain AOSP 2.2 rom on my HeroC (found it worked a little better than CM6), I was wondering if there is something similar for the Evo since I am having the random wake lock issue with CM 6.1.2. I have taken a look and seen Evervolv (tho the download links for the 2.2 version seem to be broken and the newer versions are based on 2.3 with GPS issues) I have also read about MIUI and might be checking that out just wondered if there was any other stable 2.2 AOSP roms out there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buff McBigstuff:
I highly recommend miui. Try a liquid metal rom...its not aosp but its not sense either. There are aosp gingerbread roms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] go4the1:
Two choices.

MIUI: Aesthetically superior to all other roms, good performance, tons of extra features

CM: Performance superior to all other roms, visually solid AOSP
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakejm79:
Thanks for the input, I am setting up MIUI now, like some of it, not sure about other parts. I would love to run CM, but I get that "random" wake lock bug, that kills my battery. I will run CM7 once GPS is stable, just looking for something to tide me over.
[Wildfire Android Development] gillidk:
Hi, we have just released a free app to the HTC Desire with Android 2.2 that can scan a barcode and do a webservice call to our productdatabase with buildingmaterials (apps name: nobb skanner).

We have many people complaining that the app does not work with the Wildfire with android 2.2.1. The app just terminate on the Wildfire after doing a barcode-scan. We do not have a Wildfire to do a test, and I would very much like to tell the development team what to do if someone her could give me a hint ;-)))

Is there anyone that knows what the issue could be?

best regards

gillidk
[Wildfire Android Development] Sympnotic:
IIRC, Barcode scanner had the same problem like, 4 months ago, I guess you can solve it with a simple mail to his developer.

Ps: you could even post the solution here, even if it seems pointless, posting it makes it avaible (even if it takes 5hours to find ;))
[Wildfire Android Development] brilldoctor:
This sppears to be based on the same source as the barcode scanner app (what is it for?) i have had it crash (i hit report and sent the system info) just a side note it works fine on the galaxy tab but could do with being translated into english
[Wildfire Android Development] HCDR.Jacob:
I suspect it will either be to do with the Wildfires low resolution or limited EGL.
[Wildfire Android Development] brilldoctor:
Still barcode scanner works and they seem to be running on the same base source
[Wildfire Android Development] brilldoctor:
Could be. Tried it on my friends x10 mini pro running 2.1 and it had the sane issue
[Wildfire Android Development] gillidk:
NOBB skanner

NOBB stands for norwegian building article database. NOBB contains allmost 700.000 articles sold in the Do it yourself (DIY) stores in Norway.

With the scanner you can find productinformation on the buildingarticles such as certification, maintenance, assambly etc. etc. just by scanning the products barcode.

The app is programmed for Android 2.2, and we know that it will not work on Wildfire bacause it use Android 2.2.1.

The app uses the common barcode scanner api.

Does the ordinary barcode scanner app function good on the Wildfire?
[Wildfire Android Development] brilldoctor:
The normal one is Fine on the x10 and wildfire
[Wildfire Android Development] brilldoctor:
Would be nice if at least the descriprion was also in english so people know what it is
