is it just me or is the market running very slow in froyo?
This message was deleted by its author
any ideas why?
Check your logs, it's the usual socket timeout issues, like when you switch for a new Android phone... it should disappear very soon (I had it for an hour earlier)
it was working for me, but now things are downloading and not installing... they just sit there at 100%...
I can't say I notice Market being slow but this is really pissing me off... I bought bTunes and a couple other apps and Market has them marked as Buy as if I don't own them.
WTF.
I'm getting that too, bTunes says Buy, but a lot of other protected apps just don't show up! Is this happening for everyone?

Good call... MLB At Bat is MIA. Hopefully this is a quick fix for the Market crew. I think I should shoot them an email to make them aware.
Protected apps like m bank´s are disent from this version of the Marquet...
That´s my only problem with this awesome 2.2 update.
At a guess most of them are probably to do with the new apps2SD, no doubt when devs start updating them with the new move to SD tags we still start seeing them again
Going to give it a few days before I complain about not having some paid apps (bTunes) though, hopefully thats an easy fix!
really slow
I also see the market is really really slow, I wonder if 2.2 is going somewhere else for data and that source was not ready for everyone to jump on the unconventional means of getting 2.2 up; also, some apps I had are not available and do not come up in searching the market.
Edit: Almost uncanny, but after pressing submit post, both problems disappeared and the market is now the fastest I have ever experienced. Installing and browsing at super speed. No reboot, or anything and my market is normal. Hope it works itself for others so fast
same here some apps arnt there anymore. it happened when the desire came out, protected apps wouldnt show. am sure they had to do an update on the phone to get it working.
i had same problem when start it for the 1st time after flashing yesterday, problem went away after a couple of reboot, now everything is incredibly fast.
Slow!? Lol you must be kidding me.... i have been using Cyanogenmod 5.0.6 for quite awhile and i had to wait, hang on... 5 minutes everytime downloading 1 app.
Here on Froyo, its just instant!
Froyo FTW.
I'ts a common issue it will fix himself (don't ask me how). I had this problem to and one day it fixed itself. This was also with 2.1.
This problems starts when you make a fresh start. There was a silent update for the market and if you have this update market is working fast enough else you have to be patient and wait till you get the update (again).
If you didn't make a fresh start and updated you won't be seeing this slowness of the market.
So I was trying to get the new 2.3.20 firmware and I went to the Archos website. But it looks like there was a new firmware posted this morning. 2.3.26.

Not that much of a noob, you posted the link to the firmware that should end my buggy horrors
Thanks jknut for the changelog
Hi, I have one question.
If I have the permanent root from churli (I'm sorry if I miss-spelled it..), do I just updated it regularly? I used to update all the firmwares by just downloading the firmware right on my A70 and install it right away.. but will that work if I have the root? I just rooted my A70 yesterday...and I'm a newbie haha

I just followed Steps 2, 3, 4 of Chulri's post. Chulri already has the new files for "fw 2.3.26 +rw" for Step 3. I like the optional Step 4 because I don't have to worry about holding down the volume button everytime I boot to get root.
Hi,
Has somebody tested this new release?
I updated to version 3.2.20 last week and I was very happy when I realized that cinema plugin was not required to play all the formats which I was not able to before the update (AAC, AC3, MPEG2, etc)
Can somebody confirm if this has not been "fixed"?
Thank you.
Well I have tried this new release and all I can say is bootloop, oh and to top it off I think that my right speaker has blown.
Archos I hope you're reading this, you need to sort your firmware releases out. Whilst you're at it Gingerbread would be nice. If you can put it on the Arnova with inferior hardware you have no excuse but to port it to the 101.

I just noticed the update when I went to the archosfans 2.3.20 bugs thread to report wifi drop powersave disabled while running tunein radio...
OTA update went fine, just waiting for A43 to charge up, then I'm going to do the A32 as well...
[EDIT]
Power LED blinking -> UI batt meter (and About Device) say 98% charge...
had this once with 2.3.20 showing 97% when LED blinking but next charge and thereafter showed 100% when LED blinking...
[/EDIT]
I had this Problem from the first day.
LED blinks and the battery show around 90%.
If i unplug the power the status goes to 98-100%, most 100%.
If i reboot the device with plugged power, the status is 75-90% after restart.
Sometimes the status falls to 87-91% if i plugged the power in.
I can live with it, but it is annoying.
did they remove bluetooth PAN tether ? I had dun/pan option while setting up BT tether with 2.3.20. but now no more that option. the probken for me is, i am using cdma phone(bell htc touch) but with BT DUN the Archos cannot dial CDMA number #777. I set bell APN (pda.bell.ca) it's not working. Actully even if it works I worry about it because it may charge me more.
Before with 2.3.20 , it worked perfect with BT PAN and my phone set to Internet sharing.
This update cleared up my waking-up issue.
It's pretty much an instant on now after the monitor idles off. Before, (after being off for more than a few minutes) it was a crap-shoot as to whether or not the screen would come on and I often had to fight with it and double, triple, quadruple tap the power button to get things alive. No longer.
still reboot cycles problems when charging the 101..problem started with these last 2 updates.
twit.tv app FCs all of the time with this fw...
I wonder why they released this one OTA as it seems to be more broken than .20 was...
youtube and many other flash video played in the browser hangs after about 15 seconds or so. Soemtime this causes the whole system to freeze requiring forced reboot.
This is the worse build so far, my A70 was most stable at 2.1.08.
Wow. I am having the exact opposite experience with this firmware. I find the browser and flash to be very solid. Before I could never play even youtube mobile in HD without it freezing and forcing a hard reboot.
Also, i'm having less general freezes.
I am still having absolutely no luck whatsoever with tethering to my Android phone (cliq). It's driving me crazy cause this was one of the main reasons I went with Archos.
Have you guys done a full reinitialization? That's what I did and, even though it's a pain to reload all your files, it might help with many of the problems you are having.

As a matter of fact I did an Android reset to get away from some of the problems I was having with bootloops and such. This has helped with the general performance of the 101, which I'd say is down to the 64mb swap file I now enjoy.
I did have a couple bootloops until I enabled a lock screen pattern unlock and I have now experienced nothing but fairly good performance
It seems that 2.3.26 is different from vesions before

You'd probably be better off posting in the archosfans.com forum's bug list thread for 2.3.26 as Archos employees actually monitor that site and have actually even started some of the buglist/fw release threads... i.e. I'm not sure that they're even aware of the xda-devs gen8 section and even if they were would they bother to read it...
hello ladies and gents, new to the site. Thought i might be able to get some answers for a few issues i've been having since the update. I don't know about you guys, but i'm having problems opening my apps after the update. They will try to open and just close immediately afterwards. Also for some odd reason every once in a while the logo for the app will be a white cirlce with a black backround. Very strange and frustrating since now none of my apps open. I will do a soft reset, and they will work for a second, and go back to not working a few minutes later. The system also seems to be running a little slower than usual, and the live tiles for "now" and sometimes a few others will just be a plain blue. any help would be highly appreciated, thanks for all the info you guys give on this forum.
don't all reply at once now lol.. i did a second update last night, odd cuz it says march 2011 update whatever that means.. and i'm still having the same issues.. slow performance, apps not working, and i never even installed a sd card on my phone cuz so many people were having issues. Do i need need to reinstall all my apps? cuz i'm having trouble with the marketplace too.. it's crazy slow, no icons are showing up next to the apps, and there is no download option, wth is going on? any help would be much appreciated, thanks
Sounds like a dud. Take the phone back as fast as you can and get a full refund or exhange for brand new unit.
I just wonder, since about 2-3 day's i read about the 4.10.xx to 4.10.30 update, especially 4.10.22 to 4.10.30, it could be any version from 4.10.07 to 4.10.22 to 4.10.30. Obviously if the initial number is smaller the file is bigger. For instance 4.10.07 tp 4.10.30 is 49MB, 4.10.09 to 4.10.30 is 44MB, 4.10.22 to 4.10.30 is 40MB. Still i think 4.10.22 to 4.10.30 would do the job, since everybody can update to 4.10.22.
isn't there anybody who is kind enough to fetch the link, download it and upload it to megaupload, as already explained in other posts.
there is still lot's of countries where this update is not available, and it would be nice to have it.
i know it fixes at least 2 bug's features:
1 sound off once in sleep mode
2 faster navigating internet, possibly due to better implementation of the tegra drivers.
by the way TEGRAZONE is up and aviable now with new HD games, some of them are free, so would be nice if rom makers are not removing this anymore.
I found the 4.010.30 update in the following site
http://bbs.sdapk.com/thread-30641-1-1.html
Here is the download link http://acer-a500.googlecode.com/files/update.zip
I downloaded and flashed. Everything is fine up to now.

Tegrazone has been up and available for ages, and hasn't been updated in ages either.
tks a lot, installed and working using natif acer update on external sd card.
obviously the navigation is faster and better then what I had before. I will check on the sound pb also later on.
it truly shows 4.10.30, great.
reactivated SU and reinstalled CWM, and everything works fine.
Well concerning TEGRAZONE, I had nothing in there 2 weeks ago, never mind, still there a free games in there which allows to check the HD capabilities of the machine.
Wrong tread sorry.
I don't know guys....
I checked the file from that link provided in post #2 and when extracted, it's dated "02/09/2011"
February ?? ... I doubted this build existed in February.
I'll hold off on this one for a bit and wait for the OTA
I just got an update from .30 to .38
Anybody else got it please share.
This is the update to 4.010.39. Flash in CWM.
I don't know what have been changed, flash at your own risk.

good old Acer and their UN-organized way of updates...etc
talk about creating mass confusions....sheeessh !!!
I would use caution, after I installed the .022 to .030, I started having problems getting apps from the market. I kept getting a completing transaction error
MK
everything was working wel with .30 release, until this morning no wifi connection. tried al solutions on xda nothing worked, did factory reset, and connected and got a update to.38. see how it goes.
Greetz Dennis
i got .22 to .30 from the links in this thread, and had no problems with it. have n't heard anything of the .38, i will have a look at it.
i will look at .39 know.
anyhow the sound pb is fixed and navigation is pretty fast now.

No kidding!
Updated to .39
I updated to the .39 downloaded from this thread. Used CWM. Previous version was .22. Not seeing any changes yet. I'm starting to think that these different versions really are nothing but regional variations.
ok updated to .39 seems to work, will check later or tomorrow for any changes.
it really says 4.10.39
WTH
And now I see somewhere that there's a .40 Wth, Acer. Arrrrgh.
Can I upgrade directly from 4.010.22 to this .39 or do I first go to .30 and afterwards from .30 to .39?
thanks, Marcher

Dennis,
This is a known issue with the upgrade to 3.1. I actually had the same thing and after it happened a second I chatted with 2nd level support at Acer. The resolution is to do 2 hardware resets in a row. While the tablet is on use a paperclip and push it into the hole under the full sized USB socket to reset the tablet, when the tablet completely restarts and you are back at the desktop press the reset button one more time.
When the tablet comes back up again you will have WiFi again. It's been 4 days since I did Acer's solution and no issues.
Can you people stop posting about this updates upon updates already. Some of us haven't even seen the first one yet.
I just purchased this Iconia on clearance. I brought it home, went through set up everything went fine and I love it.
Then the update thing popped up, I was like "cool" and said OK download. I waited and nothing seemed to happen.
I clicked on the third button over on the bottom (not sure what it's called) and checked what it was doing. It was not downloading. So either I get a bar with downloading and 0% out of 100% or it just dissapears when I say OK download.
It's not a deal breaker. Just annoying. Thanks.
Android version 3.1
Kernel 2.3.36.3
Build number Acer_A500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2
This may sound silly, but have you tried a full shut down, bringing it back up and trying again?
If it refuses to update then you could always root the thing, install clockworkmod and manually install an update from SDHC. That atleast works.
please check the fallowing .
Since you say that you bought the tablet on clearance..
Was it new in box and plastic wrap..
was this tablet a return. IF This is the case .. browse the app folder .. LOOK for programs like Acer Recovery Installer... Bustbox .IconiaRoot. .
these things will give you indication that the tab is rooted...
download root checker app from the market can also check for this..
if its not been rooted .. try going into settings /privacy and reset the device.. post back if you figure any of the above out. The more information you provide the easier it will be to help you get to 3.2.1 latest android system
Good Luck
It was a floor demo model, reset to "new" settings. I don't believe it was rooted since it didn't leave the store. I did powered it down and back up again. I wanted to post this before I reset the device, you said in settings/privacy? I don't mind resetting to like it was right out of the box. Thanks again for the help.
Floor Demo models are very iffy. The brutality they endure in the hands of people walking by, it's troublesome...
I did a reset, still no update love.
I called tech support for Acer and talked to two different levels of support. Basically talked me through stuff I had already tried. Force stopping and clearing cache of updater. Rebooting, turning on Bluetooth (?) Still no luck.
He wants me to let it sit and see for a few hours and gave me a number to use when I call back to set up sending it in to be fixed. He has no idea, never had this happen before.
Oh well so much for wanting an easy android tablet, without the bugginess of my rooted nookcolor. Thanks.
So the good news and the bad. Good news the tablet wasn't the problem, my internet connection was. I guess satellite internet and Acer's update servers don't get along.
I brought it back to Staples and spoke to a easy tech guy and explained what it was doing, he hooked it to their wifi and poof it started downloading. Boy did I feel stupid. So let the big patch download there and went to the free MC Donald's wifi for the following two smaller ones.
So all is good in the tablet world again, even received the case and screen protectors I ordered.
Thank you.
