New firmware v2.0.71 :)

Thanks sublimejosh, thats exactly what i ended up doing. Working much better now. Wouldn't classify the performance as flying, but much more stable and no FCs. I have needed a restart now and then as it hangs every so often, and launcher takes a while to load. Going to try adw and see if that helps.

Battery Drains
Updated to latest Foyo firmware v2.0.71 previously had no issues, now the following is happening
Not always wakes from sleep (if left for over 1 hour)
Battery drains overnight!!
Archos 70, I have tried it on the top two power settings problem persists, checked for misbehaving apps (watchdog Lite) no offenders. Had 44% battery last night zero this morning. plug in power cord reboots and charges ok, any solutions or do I RMA it?
Thanks

I experience exactly the same thing on my 101. It's firmwar erelated, so i'm sure it will be fixed. In the morning, I have to press the power button 10 seconds to turn the Archos totally off (that makes the green led starts to glow after 10 secs). Then i am able to boot the Archos again.
Also currently tracking battery drainage with SystemPanelApp. CPU load is floating around 10% all night, 1-3% is normal. Currently im suspecting the email app (was a battery drainer on Froyo on almost all devices, also keeping CPU pegged at 10%)), i've set it to Never retrieve mail for now.
Edit: it's not the email app. I rebootted the 101 this morning 8:00 Am without changing email settings, and CPU load was 1-2% up until this moment. Something else is causing it. Unfortunately, SystemPanel shows it was "system processes". That doesn't desgnate the real offender, because "system processes" is just serving what another app is asking. So, the quest continues...

When you put it to "sleep" are you just tapping the power button or are you using the deep sleep feature? If you use the deep sleep, your battery should remain just where you left it. If you just push the power button, it will continue to drain.
I'm seeing the same behavior with my A101 - it will not connect to my router at any speed greater than 54mbps. My Nexus One and my eeePC both connect at greater than 100mbps (depending on the distance to the router) so I'm assuming my router configuration is ok. There isn't a whole lot you we can do with the settings on the A101 so I think we're playing the waiting game with Archos.
Another point - I switched my router to N only mode and the A101 could not connect to the router. Kept trying to obtain an ip but never actually did. I'm beginning to wonder if they actually put an N radio in it...
standby bug
Someone recently put out the theory that he/she thought it was only occuring when the system has both wifi and bluetooth enabled when the system enters standby. If that's the case then you may see the issue subside by disabling one or the other.

mine has done it twice and i've never even used bluetooth.
the system it tons slower than when i had x.x.54 with auto memory manager. i used t be able to have 3 tabs open and stream a naughty video and return back to my tabs with no problems. now if i have 2 tabs open xscope close after launching the video and relaunches up on returning. even killing everything before surfing it still does it.
on the bright side ntfs support is very nice! i gave up root for that feature alone. since i have a galaxy s, nookcolor and ipad for better web browsing the slow down isn't really much an issue. the primary use for the 101 is the multimedia functions and the last update made it even better for my use.
hi newbie here, i just bought A70 and use eclair which is preety fast for me compared with my friend's A101 with froyo (054 ver i think). then this morning i update to 2.0.71 and i do benchmark with quadrant and the result is magnificient, more than 1300 (before only 800 with eclair), but in fact, when i'm browsing using the standart browser or dolphin browser or doing anything, i feel it is a lot slower and laggy compared with my previous eclair (i set to overdrive already) am i missing something?
i saw on my notification, it is always doing "updating photo thumbnails", is it cause my a70 slow?
thanks b4
