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...

After recent firmware update, tablet freezes

After recent update, within 24hrs, my transformer has frozen completely three times. This is where I have to hold down the power 10+ sec and turn the unit back on. One time, about 40min watching a video via hbogo website. One playing a game (walkabout) and another time, just playing mp3 from the main screen via a widget.
Has anyone else experience this? Never happened on prior firmware versions.

Keyboard flash problem
I don't know if this can help: after firmware upgrade my browser crash if i try to tipe something in a flash animation, keyboard isn't show and then crash.

Exactly the same experience here: with 3.01 I had no problems at all; since OTA update 3.1 two days ago 'sleep of death' (shutdown in sleep mode) all the time!
Very annoying, according to other threads/ forums SOD was SOLVED for couple of guys with 3.1 update - I just received my SOD with 3.1!
Thanks Asus; I do hope someone/ somewhere is working on a fix!
In the meanwhile: any help/ solution for SOD (except downgrading/ rooting) would be very wellcome!
TF101, US, stock 3.1 unrooted

Same here with some Apps. MyLibrary was working fine on a pdf, now it freezes and crash all the time. Impossible to read anything anymore.
Battery seems to be drained faster too.

Since I have gotten the update the tablet is very sluggish. It was perfect before. I had no light bleed and it was very smooth. Now I have a ton of light bleed and it is so sluggish it almost takes 4 mins to connect to the internet. Anyone know the customer support number?

software has nothing to do with your hardware screen showing more lightbleed, other than if the brightnessis higher which may show it better.

I don't disagree, but the fact is that I didn't see it before now it is terrible. I thought I had a "good one". Oh well.

In general last update has improved performance, allows more variety ( file types) in video streaming from my server, slightly better browser performance and slightly better wifi reception, however I have noticed a few lock ups that were not there before last update. Long Power button hold required to recover.

I'm having the freeze problem in Firefox after the update. it will work for a bit, but some sites will cause the tablet to lock up and I have to do the power off reboot. The stock browser is working fine.

On another forum they were saying it's pure superstition, but..: turning OFF the auto brightness has prevented sleep of death on my Transformer (SODs since update 3.1) allready about a day!
I know people say it's nonsense, but for anyone else struggling with auto shutdown in sleep mode problem; give it a try!

I've had four freezes, all in Press Reader tablet edition, and was thinking they were related to that app specifically, but maybe not. Reason being, my wife got her first freeze last night playing angry birds.
My freezes in Press Reader are not caused by the update, though, as two of them happened before the update was released. Also, I've discovered though that it is only the UI that is freezing, because on one freeze I had internet radio playing, and it kept playing for multiple minutes after the UI for froze.
More on my Press Reader freezes here:

Do freeze issues go away if you clear all caches / factory reset?
Reason I ask, is this has helped me in the past, so I always do one, including right after this recent OTA update...

Huh, I've not had any problems. My 32gb TF is a B50, and dock is a B60. I usually have it connected to the dock.

I've had my ASUS Transformer for about 4 days now, never had any freezes yet, not with nor without the update (updated yesterday).

Can't speak to the other people, but I'm not trying because it's such a [email protected]*dy hassle to do a factory reset, when there's no way to back everything up in one go without root access.
Backup is definitely a major shortcoming of Android.

+1 to the sleep of death issue aft the 7/16 update. Screen will go off and tablet will either reboot or need a reboot.

I have had my auto brightness off since day 1, kept default brightness, and have been lucky with no issues. Still on 3.1.

3.1 is the latest.. of course you're still on 3.1

Try changing the rom and kernel. The Netformer kernel seems the fastest and smoothest. I had the screen freezes also. Running Clem's v3rom for 8.4.4.11 then flashed the Netformer over instead of using Clem's kernel.

We're not talking sleep of death here, we're talking lockups while the tablet is active. Totally different issue, or at least totally different symptom.

List of issues after Jelly Bean update.

So I've heard a lot of people reported that after the Jelly Bean update their devices got a lot of problems (like constantly reboot, can't connect wifi,...) some even want to go back to ICS.
So please list your issues here that you notice AFTER the update and DID NOT notice when you were in ICS . This will hep other people make their decisions on weather update or not.

Only thing I've noticed that might be considered as a bug is that, now when I connect to dock and move the cursor around the launcher, the cursor has less framerate...

biggest disappointment is that i cant switch dock keyboard locale as i used to in ICS
when i press Ctrl -space it indicates that i changed from Greek to English but i type again in Greek

Rear camera
Hello!
My first experience with JB, was that my "rear" camera became messed up. The camera itself seemed to work (focus, zoom, shooting etc.). When saving/rendering, however, every 2-3 images became solid green or what looked like "double exposed" with distorted colours. I shot some pictures only a few days before the rollout, and the pictures were just fine. The front camera was OK.
After having read a few threads about tips on how to do a FW upgrade in general, I ended up doing a factory reset. After that the camera now seems to work fine; I have shot about 15-20 images without issues.
Another detail when it comes to the camera; the nice, little shutter animation is gone under JB.
I am on the WW-version (Sweden), stock ROM, no ROOT - so nothing strange. I got JB OTA friday 2012-08-24.

Random reboots here, even led me to factory reset just in case, but n this morning it has happened again, seems to be connected to when the screen sleeps but really cant tell.
Not a HUGE issue but somewhat annoying. Still better than ICS

Same problem with mine. It has started doing a reboot and sometimes even a "sleep of death", where it won't turn on after it's gone to sleep and I have to hold the power button in for some time. I had no problems before JB.

Mine cant detect the external sd...both micro sd and full sd are not readable...
Usb however works fine...

At first I had a boot-loop causes by EZoverclock,.. so make sure before you update to unintstall ezoverclock.
After factory reset (I know now that it was possible to uninstall ezoverclock during boot-loop:silly, cold booted...
i reinstalled my apps, and found that MX-Player doens´t support hardware decoding with 1080p MKV files anymore! (Worked with ICS!)
I can only selected the software rendering. Going to try other players now, but hardware decoding seems a problem with JB.
I also can´t get Nova Launcher to work. Not with normal installation(error -24 during installation) and also not as a system app.(app crashes)
anyone else with same problems ?

I've had a few application crashes that whilst I can't say is because of JB, I don't think they happened (or as often) with ICS.

wifi is working but it has a problem with the dns servers. had to manualy correct this problem to get on the internet again. No problems on my laptop thats also wireless.

Here the same issue,
when i am using sleep timeout (30s, 1m, 2m, 5m). But only when i connect the keyboard!
When the keyboard is not connected the screen times out just fine.
When the keyboard is connected, I use sleep never... for now.

As I use the device in a learning environment I prefer it to sleep now and again, preventing battery drain. It seems I cannot use that for now.
I have sent technical request to Asus. Awaiting their response.

try under Asus setting 'mobile dock power saving mode' and see if that changes anything.
I think if it is not checked, then the tablet will stay awake if on the dock and not closed.

(General statement)
Baffles me why any one who is rooted would try to force the OTA. Just be patient. You'll get an update via ROM.
For those who didn't wait and are now complaining about the end result, you should have read up on what an OTA could do to your device and waited.

have nothing on either sd card internal or external
i wiped everything
and started from bare bones
not one problem
US pad
tf300

no issues at all. It's been rich solid for me and way better than ICS. Current up time is going on 132 hours (prior to that it was like 7 days and I only had to "reboot"cause the stinking battery died) with pretty much constant use. I keep it on performance mode 24/7 and its fast fast fast (although I do notice it is slower than my Samsung Galaxy S3 which is running CM10 and overclocked). Practically everyone that touches it comments on how fast it is...

The answer from ASUS
Thank you for your email.
From your email I understand that the Eeepad isn’t working correctly after the update. This is very inconvenient and shouldn’t be the case.
i advise you to reset the Eeepad and to check the firmware if there is another new update.
You can reset the Eeepad by switching the device off. Once the device has been shut off, you push the volume minus button and the power button at the same time. As soon as you see something appear in the screen, you push the volume plus. This will reset your device. Please back up your data first, because a reset will remove all data which you have installed yourself.
After this, you can update the firmware. You can update the firmware via: Settings --> About tablet --> Firmware update.
If the solutions which are written above didn’t solve the problem, please contact us again.
I don't think this solves the issue, as I can not see any new firmware when I check now. Then again I am doubting whether a factory reset will solve it. Anybody tried a factory reset after the JB upgrade ?

Applied the blob from the website. Guys, is it just me or the sound volume is now much much lower? I'm talking especially about headphones, I have to raise the volume much higher to get the same sound as on ICS.

Charging probelms (plus more) after Oreo update

I updated my S8 to Oreo a few weeks back (Samsung Experience 9.0) and ever since I have a plethora of problems.
The main one being that charging the device is now a battle...
I seem to have narrowed it down to using a fast charge power brick (2.0A)
I have tried the official Samsung unit and cable supplied with the phone, and good quality 3rd party cables and plugs....nothing works.
The device does not even register the cables existence.
BUT,
If I use a standard plug (< 2.0A), and a none Samsung cable it will charge
If I use a Samsung cable, it does not. Seemingly regardless of plug.
I've also noticed that the battery life has significantly reduced, come noon time, the deice is ready to be charged, showing less than 50% having been sat on my desk, with little to no use. (I only charge it at this point as I know it wont make it the rest of the day)
Some other issues I've noticed since the Oreo update...Wi-Fi seems choppy, slow and laggy, and I quite often get the " ! " next to the signal status bar icon.
And almost 100% of the time if I try to cast to one of my Chromecast or Google Home devices, the S8 does not see them (connected to same Wi-Fi SSID), meaning if I open Google Home app, and click top right to see my devices, they are....sometimes disabling and re-enabling Wi-Fi will fix this.
I spoke to what Samsung call their 'Tech Support' and it was beyond a joke...their solution...."Turn the phone off and on"...that was it, they could / would not offer any more support than this, and also claimed that I was the only 1 reporting this / these "potential issues"
I had another update pushed to my S8 yesterday (14.05.2018) which according to the docs was released 10.05.18 - G950FXXU1CRD7
This has not helped with anything....
Has anyone else had any of these or similar problems following Oreo update?
Does anyone know of any 'fix' if so?
TIA

This is why I have been on Oreo now for over a week. OK it's on a different phone (Nokia 6.1) with everything working well.
MAybe the 4 beta testers in Nederland missed this issue?

Good luck and hope they sort out the update soon.

I updated my Magisk-Rooted Stock 7.1 by flashing using twrp - without dalvic-deletion - and reinstalled Magisk 16 right afterwards.
Everything works, but you will lose any previous received SMS.

Charging problems
Hi there.
Last week, I got the OTA update for my Swift 2 Plus. Now, when I try to charge the phone I observe massive problems.
1. Charging with Quick Charge 3.0 does not appear possible. There even observe a reduction of the battery charge when connected to the charger.
2. Charging with a standard fast charger (2.1 Amps) is not really fast. It gives me about 25-30% overnight, if I switch off the phone.
3. Charging via the USB port of a computer is hardly possible. (It is at least so slow that no progress is recognizable.)
I tried already different chargers and different cables, without any improvement. The same chargers and cables work perfectly with two other identical phones (but without the update) and before the update, I did not observe any problems when charging my phone with the various chargers and cable. I also tried to clean the contacts on the phone, without any improvement, too.
The update which was offered to me was already the one of the second round. I understand (and observed myself) that the first update was withdrawn again, because of battery charging problems.
Is anyone aware of a (convenient) solution for my problem?
1. So far, I tried to get a solution from Wileyfox support. I guess that I don't have to tell anybody that my experiences with the support a more than disappointing. Several times I got the answer that my problem is forwarded to the Senior Team Leader who will get back to me shortly. (I'm still waiting, at least for a specification of the term "shortly".)
2. I also tried to connect the phone to the computer in order to save the relevant data and in order to check if I can transfer an update filed to the phone (with the idea to carry out an update manually). However, the phone is not recognized by the computer. The different options und USB-settings do not have any effect. (Note that developer mode ("Entwickleroptionen") is activated, of course.)
3. I considered to try the factory reset. However, it is not clear to me how a can assure, especially under the given circumstances that no data connection to the computer can be established, that I can restore my phone to the current status (with all apps, app data and documents) again.
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks to everbody in advance.

Hi!
Did you try to install a service COS13.1.5 ROM via QPST? I think it can resolve your problem, but ater this better to do not upgrade to 8.1 untill Wileyfox doesnt fix this bug.

Thanks for your answer.
No. Definitely not. I have never heard of this possibility.
I have to investigate firstly how this installation can be carried out. I fear, if the installation requires the transfer of the ROM onto the phone via USB, that the lack of a data connection between the computer and the phone might finally prevent me from succeeding with this option.
