i can hook it up and it finds my sd card drive no problem but it will not mount internal to save my life. any tips?
[Thunderbolt General] SuperFly03:
Good point. That definitely needs fixing. I never had a problem with my G2 but the TB won't mount for ****.

Serious bug. I bet it's a root deterrent.
[Thunderbolt General] xdarkfirex:
I believe the 8gb internal is used for apps not emmc like the incredible so there will be mounting it.

How is it possible this box can compete with any boxes at all. Everything is slow, proxy not working.

Can say there is one good thing, ah maby that you dont need to use itunes.

Maby if darky can make a good rom for it. Someone needs to fix this box. Like it is now is the worst thing i ever used.

Auki

Stay away from this box :) :mad:

What is a box?try urukdroid it is great

"Box" being the 101 itself?

[Gen8 General] daveid:
Yeah, normally one throws away the box (or stores it, in case they might want to return the gadget) and plays with the device. All the boxes I ever got were slow and useless, though as far as boxes go, my A43it came in a pretty nice box... minimal packaging, good sized, well organized contents...

Sorry for the pun, it was irresistible.
[Gen8 General] Zoidpilot:
Ok! So let me buy something I'm probably not gonna understand, look up forums on it, make a profile, then write a weird long broken English rant on how much I hate the box it came in...

Yep, you're gonna get far in life. In case you didn't notice, on this site we all love our devices so please DO NOT TROLL.

Kthxbai!
[Gen8 General] d31b0y:
Actually I thought my box was fantastic. That glossy finish was just superb.

And that plastic wrap that was on it. Just top notch. I found the opening and closing of the box very fast and streamlined.

And comparing to other boxes, it's large enough to hold decent sized items, but not so large that the box is cumbersome.

To show the holding capabilities, the box comes equipped with some sort of touchscreen.

I wasn't very interested in that though, so I just borke it and fired it in the bin.

The syrofoam though... I mean the workmanship is just fantastic. Straight lines, pointy edges. A+++

Also, what a nice touch it was that my box came packed IN A BOX! I mean, who would have thunk. A box to keep your brand new box in. Well done Archos. I tip my hat.
[Gen8 General] @xDeepS:
Well you shouldnt have bought it. I do agree outta the box this thing can be sluggish but after polishing and updating it, it can be a unique tablet. I am really satisfied with it. It can do most of it and you may need to know how to manage apps.
[Gen8 General] super_sonic:
Hello,

I answer to this provocative title: having a galaxy S phone, I found my archos very slow at first compared to my phone. I made some settings (overdrive energy, setcpu at 1GHz all the time/performance, Zeam launcher) and now, I am very happy with my A101IT 16GB, but it's not quite as smooth/fluid as my phone...
[Gen8 General] deliriousDroid:
What is overdrive energy?

Sent from my SilverBullet "HTCDesireZ running CM7"
[Gen8 General] CarsnGadgets:
go to 'settings/about device/power settings' and change your setting to overdrive.

It allows it fo tun at 1ghz instead of just 800mhz
[Gen8 General] Tastycakess:
I'm in the same boat as you. I have an htc Evo @ 1150 mhz running CM7 and it is def superior to the Archos 101. The lag isn't bad now on the 101, it was terrible when I first got it, but full format, reinstall, 1 ghz kernel @ 1ghz min and max it aint so bad. I'm sure in a few months running a honeycomb mod off a class 10 SD card and OCed to 1200 mhz this will be one nice device.
[Gen8 General] deliriousDroid:
Set CPU didn't work when I set it at 1000 before then?

Sent from my SilverBullet "HTCDesireZ running CM7"
[Gen8 General] deliriousDroid:
Haha, never mind, I figured out what's going on. Without root, the power mode limits the Max CPU right? Then this setting is useless after rooting and using set CPU...

Sent from my SilverBullet "HTCDesireZ running CM7"
[Gen8 General] bobih:
Agreed, but since i have only class 4 SD, i gave up on OC.

And one thing, beware the application that run as services. It could eat your RAM and makes your Archos totally lag.
[Gen8 General] gbohm:
What does sd hast to do with oc ?
[Gen8 General] madsquabbles:
i have to agree, even with all the hacks and oc'ing it's still a garbage tablet that i'd never recommend to anyone. the one thing that it does, and it does it dang well, is media playback. even more powerful tablets stutter with some of th files that play perfectly on the 101.
[Gen8 General] ExploreMN:
I can't even begin to understand where these super negative endorsements come from. What are you comparing it to? The $600 Xoom? The Galaxy Tab? The iPad 1 or 2?

You paid about $250-300 for an Archos Internet Tablet. It does much more than any similar priced Chinese knock-off. And, price per feature it has a lot more to offer than most other tablets. Right now your next closest decent tablet purchase would be a first gen iPad and ONLY because it was reduced to $399.

I use mine for web surfing, video and music playback, e-mail, and occasional remote control of my servers via Teamviewer. I've played games on it and not had problems even with more intense games like that pay2play RPG (can't think of the name now).

So what exactly are you doing or expecting from a $300 tablet?
[Gen8 General] fastmhc:
I agree 100%. For the price. Nothing comes close to as good as this tablet.
[Gen8 General] Tastycakess:
I dunno, I'v been looking at the Viewsonic G Tablet. It's got the dual core Tegra 2 processor and CM7 is already out in beta for it. I mean the $ diff between the 16 gig A101 and the G Tablet is like $30 bucks. Seriously considering it. There's just no excuse that a brand new $350 tablet should run this laggy, sometimes its fine, sometimes is dreadful. Not to mention the touch screen sucks. Dragging icons and resizing widgets in launcher pro I find weird dead spots or icons I can't long press on cause they instantly get clicked when I press and hold.

"...combined with a 1GHz ultra-powerful high speed processor, the ARCHOS 101 internet tablet can surf the web like never before. This powerful tablet ..."

THEY DONE LIED TO ME! lol
[Gen8 General] gbohm:
The g tablet has afaik an even worse display....
[Gen8 General] madsquabbles:
i expected poor build quality. i bought it knowing what i was getting. you don't need to compare it to anything to see the poor build quality, terrible screen, and frequent lock ups and slowdowns from the limited memory and bad memory management - you still have to have a memory manager even after adding the swap with the latest firmwares.

so basically i got what i wanted - a $300 tablet that handles media playing very well. like i said i've had quite a few other tablets and none of them handle media like the 101 does. so i chose to keep the 101 while returning all the others. i won't even replace the 101 usage with a $350 refurb ipad - i already have an ipad and was thinking of using another ipad in the carputer slot like i'm using the 101, but the ipad can't handle 720 mkv's that play fine on the 101.

i agree also, that at $300 this is the best tablet you can get but don't fool yourself into thinking it's a high quality device.
[Gen8 General] madsquabbles:
yes much worse. at the same angles the colors wash out on the g tablet. it does handle more media files that the xoom does (at least from what i've read and with stock media player).

it's a better device hardware wise, minus the screen. but you don't have to be as delicate when touching the screen as you do with the 101. the glass layer is very thin on the 101 and pushing too hard will make you think you'll crack it easily.
[Gen8 General] ExploreMN:
You don't push on a capacitive screen...
[Gen8 General] madsquabbles:
just felt like you needed to get the last word in...

you don't even have to touch the screen to warp the display, just normal handling and slight pressure on the back causes it.

you do push a capacitive screen. it's touch sensitive but you and I both know you don't stop at the physical contact - meaning you're not stopping at feather light baby touches, which in fact is a push too. force is exerted even slightly.

now you can hover over the screen and make inputs but how practical and inaccurate would that be?

anyways, with the 101 you have to do baby touches because the force from a normal touch warps the screen and interrupts some long pushes and dragging. there's a fix for it, but you have to open up your 101.

I'm sorry I'm leaving you feeling all butt hurt over your favorite toy. like I've said in other forums I do love the 101, but don't fool yourself about the build quality.
[Gen8 General] ExploreMN:
It has nothing to do with that. I just don't get the same experience you seem to be getting. I don't do baby feather touches on my screen. I swipe just like I do with my phone and other capacitive touch screen devices.

I just think that people there are people that ***** just for the sake of *****ing. If the glass had been thicker and more sturdy you would have complained about how thick and heavy the device was. If it was built with gorilla glass you would have *****ed about how expensive it was. If it was built with a dual core processor, more memory, or anything else you would have found something else to complain about.

I also don't find the build quality to be bad. Yeah, it "seems" fragile because it is very thin and light weight. That is also a benefit for those who don't want to carry around some heavy azz tablet like the iPad. Now, perhaps in ape like hands it is fragile, but I'm no where near gentle with it having dropped it from about 2 feet in a coffee shop once, throwing it into my backpack many times, etc. and I have yet to do any damage to it. Everything works perfectly.

It also came out at a price of $299 when the next closest competitor was $499. That says a lot.

I guess I'm just curious, what kind of device do you want and at what price so you don't ***** and complain? Is it even possible to construct and sell it at the price you want? There were plenty of reviews about this device even before it was released. If it is such garbage as you seem to imply, then why on earth did you buy it? And don't give me the crap about playing media. I have an Ondo 767 I bought that plays far more media content than this Archos and it is very sturdy and much cheaper. So there were other options.
[Gen8 General] stiphy:
I have both...Gtablet is faster but has issues of its own, it is a good device too though imo. Archos isn't perfect but does what I need it to do which is basic web surfing, apps, email, and video playback.

I posted a comparison of the 101 and Gtablet last month and there is side by side video that shows the speed/lag of the 101...you can judge how bad it is but for me its acceptable: http://www.blendblog.net/Default.aspx?tabid=36&EntryID=64

Posted from my 101 fwiw

[Gen8 General] ExploreMN:
Not a bad review overall. Slightly unfair since the Archos has a stock ROM and the G-Tab you loaded a custom ROM. You could have loaded Uruk on it to make it a little more fair. I did note that the Archos booted much faster than the G-Tab from power off to desktop.

The wife and I are looking for a baby camera right now. We just had our baby girl 1.5 weeks ago! Can you let me know what you used and what software ties into the tablet? We would really appreciate that! (might want to e-mail me so we don't hijack the thread).
[Gen8 General] madsquabbles:
there wasn't any *****ing and complaining, there was statements made from observation.

and don't assume to know what i want or what i'd be willing to pay for a tablet. if you even bothered to follow any other posts about topics like this you'd have seen that i would have gladly paid for a better screen, software that didn't delete you media, studier construction.

hell, i don't even ***** about how expensive the xoom is. compared to a 32GB 3g ipad it holds it's own. the only reason why the 101 hasn't been replaced with a xoom is b/c the media capabilities. no other tab has come close to what the 101 can do with video and music. imo it even sounds better that quite a few of the more expensive models.

there are plenty of stories of people cracking their screens through normal use or by a small drop. there's just too much flex in it to be as rough with it as you would an ipad, nc, galaxy tab, or gtablet.

now i've stated many times that i'm satisfied with what i paid for it. of course at that price i expected to give up a bit. my biggest disappointment was not the 256MB of RAM, but the poor memory management. my old droid didn't lock up or FC from running out of memory as much as the archos did (the swap helped). but again, unless i know that someone can live with the limitations i won't recommend this tablet to anyone.
[Gen8 General] stiphy:
Thanks for the feedback ExploreMN. I left the Archos at stock because I frankly don't have many problems with stock. It's a little sluggish at times and occasionally I have to go into the system resources app and stop programs but it mostly just does what I need it to do.

The GTablet on the other hand almost requires that you put a custom firmware on it otherwise it's a mess from what I saw.

I'll follow up in a PM about the camera!

Thanks,

Sean
[Gen8 General] Tastycakess:
I'll just quote myself. The dead spots (1" bar near the top) are really just sensitive spots, if you lightly press it works fine. And I fixed my lag problems for the moment, the process labeled System was taking up an average of 75% CPU usage :eek: and the 101 was basically unusable. After a reformat the 101 runs great. A little slow but great.
[Gen8 General] madsquabbles:
just bought a xoom. after 2 hours of playing around with it I've decided that the xoom is a superior gen purpose tablet. archos 101 is still the multimedia king.
[Gen8 General] cypresstwist:
It's a crappy tablet. I am so sorry I bought one... Slow, sluggish, even with the latest UrukDroid installed on it. Paid for the Cinema plugin so I can play video files. Had to buy a matte screen protector to be able to view those movies in a normal way, without that glare bothering me...
[Gen8 General] devwithzachary:
At the end of the day you get what you pay for, picked mine up for £125 a while back from HMV and for the price can't go wrong, I can take notes during lectures which out having to carry around my laptop, the battery life makes it through the whole day easily. <INSERT SHAMELESS PLUG HERE> plus with my ubuntu installation I can do alot of assignment work (python/java/mysql) with nothing more than the tablet :)</INSERT SHAMELESS PLUG HERE>.

Yes theres lag but when you can buy four for the price of a ipad really can't complain :)
[Gen8 General] indigolemon:
I got mine using the HMV deal as well, although it was a Christmas present so I didn't actually get to see it till the 25th December :(

Since then I've tried Stock, Stock rooted with EXT4 partition for data, and am now using OpenAOS RC2 as my daily. Bar the HDMI out, I can't fault it! Much more responsive than the Archos firmware (to the point that people thought I'd bought another tablet).

Yes, not amazing out the box, but poke it a bit and it's great! :)

@zacthespack - Your work on the Ubuntu stuff looks great, just need to find a way to make that and OpenAOS play nicely, not had much joy with that yet :(

indeed once I installed urukdroid they tablet felt like a whole new machine!

So... any of you guys tried this? I haven't been running it today, no need at this point with MikShift, but if/when I go back to AOSP-based roms, it will definitely be my launcher of choice, especially if they continue to develop and include matching widgets for each Launcher interface.

[Desire HD General] silvscorp:
searched around and can't really find right answers.

I currently have HD2 with 512mb running android. Due to the lack of internal storage space, all apps are stored in the EXT4 on the SD card. This is a very neat function actually. Every time I flash a rom, all the apps will still be there.

I am about to get the DHD soon and since it's got plenty internal storage I guess it's natural to install app on internal rather than on SD (i know some rom do have support for EXT on SD). My question is, is there a way to partition the internal storage so part of it act as EXT, this way every time flashing a rom I don't have to restore all the apps??

If there is another way to achieve this, please let me know as well.

thanks,
[Desire HD General] Blinkydamo:
No need to do anything like that. Before you flash a new ROM just wipe all the partitions apart from the data partition. Once you have flashed the ROM your apps will still be there.

You can use an add on script for apps to SD as well if you prefer.
[Desire HD General] silvscorp:
Good to know that there will be no problem re-installing apps. Since I can't get hands dirty with an actual unit yet, could you please explain a little on the "wiping all the partitions apart from data partition". So by default, apps will be installed in a separate partition? what do you use to WIPE paritions? Clockwork or wipe-all?
[Desire HD General] Blinkydamo:
Go into clockwork recovery you can select which partitions to wipe. Go into the mounts part and you can wipe them individually, wipe each one in turn apart from the data partition.

If however you experience problems yo. May have to wipe the data partition. Just do a backup first.

My phone gives me a notification for a new Gmail, but the XOOM doesn't update. I have to actually go into the Gmail app and hit refresh for it to sync.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilehavoc:
Notifications themselves are instant and as fast if not faster than my phone BUT the widget doesn't update properly. Sometimes it shows a new email but if I read it it won't show read. It's almost like it refreshes on certain events but not on time based or something odd.

It makes the widget pretty useless since I just use the notification. Hope they fix it soon
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilehavoc:
Anybody else getting this issue still? I'm trying to figure out if it's a combination of widgets that's causing the problem.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. I found that sometimes scrolling helps but that might have been coincidental. Wish I could tell you more.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilehavoc:
Yeah scrolling works every time - when you scroll down it refreshes the GMail app but not the Mail one. That one you have to tap the filters to refresh. I really hope they fix this **** soon - it's annoying for something that's out of the box.
