Thanks cajl.
Hate to be fussy. These forums are English speaking. Can you post a loose translation to English when you post in French?
I know, I know... lazy English speakers
For those interested...

For a company that everyone says is horrible at product support, upgrades, and other issues like that....Archos seems to be on top of it. I think they are doing an awesome job.

Nice news. Archos is very reactive

just put 2.1.3 on my just unboxed A70 and I got the notice of this FW... It is running now, seems to be ok.

Thanks Archos, keep going.

Yep, browser downloads don't crash anymore (tested with stock and dolphin hd). Thank a lot Archos team

I sincerely hope this "reactivity" ivolves the "tethering-issue", which somewhat affects the internet capabilities of devices like the 101. - Wasn´t this one of the topics where "inactivity" has been associated with the Archos Tech-Support?

i have to agree so far i just have to say it is the best support for a mobile device i have ever seen!!!

any mirror please? Archos site can not handle the traffic/bandwidth.

I think Archos have to be congratulated for being on the case

Wow just did 2.1.2 on my 70 two days ago, They are doing great on firmware updates. Just wish they get the store shelves overly stocked. Want a 101 too..

Miren Browser doesn't ForceClose on this release

Problems with 2.1.3/2.1.4 and BBC IPlayer
I have tried 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 versions of firmware on my 101, and both cause IPlayer (using flash) to crash after a couple minutes, I'm using the standard browser.
I have had to revert to 2.0.71 which stutters a bit initially but is basically ok after that.

Hi!
Exchange 2010 stil not working :-(, and i don't fint a way to change the Email.apk with working one ( as on my Xperia X10 beta3) :-(
regards

flash is still crashing the stock browser, cmon and fix this archos, it is embarassing

You all using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player? I have the latest version 10.1.106.16 installed and don't have any problems.

I have heard that 2.1.3 at least after upgrade to that version raises an issue of battery drainage - from normal 8-9 hours to circa 6 hours. I want to ask, what about Flash hardware acceleration? Is that is still laggy flash playback? I asked a few people to prove me if the device is able to handle flash streaming sites like megavideo. No answers, maybe you xda dev users can provide me an answer for these questions?
best regards

[UK] TVCatchup.com let them know you want a WM application/webportal

Hi guy's
I've started a thread over at tvcatchup.com's forum to gather support for a windows mobile application or at least access to the tv streams that the iphone uses as they have a special portal that doesnt use flash.
Just wondered if it would be possible for you to show your interest in this thread too and bring tvcatchup.com to WM
Thanks
+1 ________________
Cant believe there arnt more people out there who want this working on WM!!, maybe its my fault for just making this post in the Leo section of the forum.
I've tried seting my user agent in Firefox to iphone 3.0 UA and managed to get the page to load where for bbc one it has this url
http://84.234.22.109:1935/iphone/iphone_bbcone.sdp/playlist.m3u8?stream=bbcone
which downloads a playlist, if you open the playlist in notpad you get this
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INFROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=100000
http://84.234.22.109:1935/iphone/ip...t.m3u8?wowzasessionid=431120102&stream=bbcone
But after that I have no idea what to do to make it stream on the phone

It's the m3u8 file format that's the problem there. It's not something we can play on WM devices.
I've tried to sign up to the site so I can post words of encouragement and support on the thread, but it just keeps throwing an error, so i can't
Good luck with this - I'd love to see this on WM.
Surely the playlist just directs the iphone to some H.264 stream, Im sure something like coreplayer would be able to play that? but as you say the playlist doesnt open.
I tried renaming the .m3u8 to just .m3u (as that's what coreplayer recognises) but no luck after that,
Can I ask a mod to move this to a more appropriate section to get more exposure.
Thanks
made a post on tvcatchup thread. lets wait and see if they show any interest.
Well it looks like there's been a response from them
Their are 12 versions of Windows Mobile operateing system.
Id hate to guess how many different phones are useing the variaty of Os's.
Their are massive compatibility issues within each and every OS version and Mobile Phone Type.
iPhone was chosen as our first step onto the mobile market as their is ONE operateing system and specifications between each iPhone are the same. Its one of the most sold new phones on the market and its keep selling. It was highly feasible for an iphone application.
Windows Mobile on the other hand would be very complex. It would cost TVCatchup to develop such application, and we have not yet finished the iPhone which is in Beta.
One step at a time im afraid, we can not jump into every handset from day one.
If theirs a skilled windows mobile developer reading this that uses TVCatchup, we do have an API.

Yep... i read that and replied also (im ukbreakbeat on there)
Come on XDA Devs... you know you want to get on this!
Cheers mate, I've contacted a certain dev on here with a well know tv app, hopefully they give him the goodies
Anyone know about any progress? Is FryWalker working on it?
He let me know he had been in contact with their lead developer, and that they were very helpful, I belive he's working on it
I thought I'd bump this as Fry seems to be getting the cold shoulder from the tvcatchup guys apparently, I thought anyone interested in the development would like to know and of course let them know that us WM owners still want an app developed!
Surely all that would be needed is a codec for core player to allow it to play the m3u8 playlist??
I have done a bit of sleuthing and there is a program called pocket player that claims to be able to play m3u8 files but I've had no luck with this so far.
I just use Skyfire to watch.. and it works fine. Looks perfect especially in landscape mode.
Yeah Skyfire works but it's frame rate is low

If you check on the TV catchup forums, this is because you downloaded the US version of the software and not the UK version.

Hi - thanks for the tip - I checked around and had to change my DNS settings to a UK server then reinstall Skyfire so it'd pick up a UK farm. Done that and it connects fine !
Only thing (there's always something) is now that the picture is great but there's no audio - any ideas why no sound is coming through and if there's something I need to change ? I checked the IP settings and there's no compression set - not sure what else to check.
Thanks for any help,

Agree. Installed it last night, and it works albeit a bit choppy. I only tried it due to a dedicated iphone freak at work going on about tvcatchup, and that the HD2 can't do it. Can't wait to see him later

if you're on o2 and concerned about your warranty then there's only a couple of days more to wait, according to Dell..

Hi,
When I check for updates, the browser navigates using my oem number, gausb1a11100 and no updates are available...but if I put in my baseband number - gausb1a110700 it shows an update is available.
Is it worth. Waiting for the oem to go live or risk it with the baseband update?

Are you in the UK Because 00-eu can get the update but 00 cannot in the uk yet,IF you look at your baseband it may say 00-EU but when the device looks for the update it looks for 00 not 00-EU . unless you change the baseband in the browser
I'm in the US and I updated my unlocked GAUSB1A111100-EU 6267 streak with the OTA 309_0_00 version released by dell last week. Froyo forks like a charm, with no issues.

Gavelis, I have a stock att streak which i upgraded to the 309 2.2 software. I too get redirects on those web pages and some others. I have tried resetting the cache, ect.. but nothing has worked. The only way I have "fixed" it is by using the firefox browser which never seems to give the error. Anyone have an idea how to fix this with the stock bowser??

Okay, thx. Hmmm. I love Dolphin HD (and stock should also work). Maybe it works with (some) other browsers but in my eyes it´s a bug which should be solved by Dell.
I think Dell will (hopefully) bring an updated Firmware if enough people complain about this. I already twittered stephenjatdell who asked for feedback on Streak OTA froyo. Also that I dont like stage But on the other hand I found no big other errors. So a pretty good made firmware (if the redirect-bug will be solved).

The update details of Xoom Android 3.1:
● Support for movie rental function of Android electronic market, streaming movies to big screen devices with HDMI;

● support for using bluetooth headset on Google Talk, Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and using shortcut keys;
● Image transmission communication will be more convenient to transfer pictures to PC.
Ditto for me on. UK wifi Xoom... Don't want to have to wait 'several weeks' :-(

didn't exactly want to root it as wanted to keep it stock and happy and stuff
Have any of you tried doing a factory reset and then checking for system updates, or changing the date and then checking? Just what I've read in other threads. I'm going to try it myself tonight, as I haven't got my XOOM with me right now
Also very keen to know when and how we UK users can update!
Hi. Have any of you updated to 3.1 with the US update as im thinking about upgrading my wifi xoom with the 3.1 hack by brd but was wanting to know if anyone else had done it successfully on a non-us xoom. Thanks.

Mine is Xoom UK, I was impatient, so I start manual update to US 3.1, everything works great. Some apps that initially missing in 3.01 UK, are here now with US update like Google books, some games etc, but the overall system is faster. No more stupid messages on android market like - not available in your country, or something. Thank you all !

Now we waiting for microSD Card
Just got the Google Videos app on my UK wifi xoom updated to US 3.1 rom. Really very annoying that we can't use videos in the UK yet. Is there any way around it? Through a proxy perhaps? The irony is that to get most proxy apps to work you need root, which is another thing that prevents use of Google Videos.
Hmm what if you had some sort of vpn connection to the US? Just a thought... Oh well, movies are the least of the worries
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Yes, it is possible and I have done so myself using brd's rom. I had an HK Xoom which is now US 3.1, rooted and with access to the sdcard and it feels a lot responsive than stock. The market app even sees my Xoom as a US Verizon Xoom thus allowing me access to apps ordinarily unavailable to users in my region.

I cant see it anymore from my side and I though that was weird.

It's still there for me, you have to select Honeycomb 3.1 to see it, under "OS".

That may well be the case, however i have not seen it and the OP has posted something of value for me at least. Unlike your dig!
thats the file that shows when you go to download the firmware.
been there a while.
but its nice he posted it
not nice that Acer posts a pdf instead of a firmware upgrade file.

there is simply more info at that thread regarding the change log and user's inputs.
you could think of it as a collaboration... why does it have to be taken/view as a negative ?
I'm still baffled when it comes to Acer's updates.... such a mess... can't tell what's head or tails anymore...
I'm in Canada... originally I was OTA updated to Acer_A500_1.139.05_COM_GEN1 after I bought the tablet for a week. ( I'm assuming Canada is along with USA as North America region )
and yet... here, in this thread it said those in option A are supposed to be for (UK/France/Italy/Spain) ??
and USA are in option B ??
and now today... there are new reports out that reads like this for USA....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175139
freaking Acer... how the heck does anyone keep on track anymore ??
I think they started out as a mess and it snowballed from there and they couldn't get it together (organized )... I don't think the day will comes when we just have 3 updates that covered the whole World like the PDF indicated... ( Option A, B, C )... yeah right... what a joke !
I don't even bother with it... there's always latest available posted at our XDA anyway... Acer can't be rely on
<rants over>
I would just be happy knowing whether the 4.010.08_COM_GEN2 is newer or older than the update I received today, 4.010.38_COM_GEN1. I can understand the higher numbers being newer, but what about the GEN1/GEN2 stuff? For the record, I'm in the U.S.

Winamp: Stops playing music, no apparent reason, just stops about 2-5 times a week (headset not pulled out) – go back in to app, pause button is available as if it's playing but timer isn't going, hit pause / play – nothing occurs (re-boot required)
Swype: The 'suggestion' box (bar) row thingo at the top of the letters, dissapears once or twice a week when typing something, literally can't fix mistakes or anything, close message – go back into whatever app I was typing in, still stuffed. (re-boot required)
General use "the animation" especially in Gmail and Google chat is AWFUL – and I think it's tied to Swype – when the bar appears / disapears, it does this pixel in / pixel out animation which is really slow and disorienting as it moves all the words up 1 row to fit in the suggesiton bar. This is SPECIFICALLY only when you're at the very bottom row of an email, I recall a similar issue on GB on my HTC HD2 – it's just bad design. (Can anyone else re-create this? Makes google chat utterly awful)
GPS is significantly less accurate in Endomondo
Its well known that LPQ is just bad
get the XWLP7 works great after clean install
LPQ is old
get LP7 or LP8
Why don't you simply go back to GB or try a custom ROM?
My only gripe about the "Official" ICS firmware is the dodgy scrolling. But I'm on an AOKP based ROM so all I experience is beautiful smoothness

LP8 clean, unbranded.
If your rooted you can easily flash it using Odin Mobile Pro and keep root

I was under the impression that was the only "official" release from Samsung for unbranded outright phones at this point in time?

You also have the crappy scrolling issue I'm talking about, or some other kind of issue with scrolling long pages / emails?

Yes that is correct, on the LPQ release scrolling was indeed very weird and I did not like it.

Search for XWLP8 in this thread and get this version.
The one I posted is identical but the download speed is a lot slower.

This multiupload link is working for me and already on it's way, so I'll try that.
I just want a reliable phone - thanks for the help guys, I will update if it is bad or not.

Just be sure to get the XWLP7 kernel so you can root.
