1 go de ram
http://www.jbmm.fr/?p=26999
is there any benefit to have 1gb ram? I can't think of anything I could possibly do to use that much ram on my tablet. does it increase overall stability or anything?
1gb really?
...are you *positive* about 1gb ram? The ARCHOS website doesn't mention it like that and from what I hear the new ones too have "only" 512mb.

if cajl says it it's probably true. besides it makes sense. all manufacturers are gonna jump on the bandwagon and make all devices with 1gb+ ram
for the 1go YES it is true - mail from Archos -
the benefit...what benefit. Perhaps a little more....

I think it's not much difference.....Into Nexus S with 512Mb RAM and only 1GHz ICS run very well almost as fluently as Motorola RAZR 1Gb RAM and with dual-core 1.2GHz
Problem is slightly different if we refer to games !
Yes for the game
Not 1gb RAM in A80
Have just received a brand new 1.5Ghz Archos 80 G9 ref 502036 expecting 1gb RAM: system info app confirms 1.5 Ghz but only 466Mb RAM (i.e. 512Mb model).
where have you buy this model ?
Hi cajl I bought it in the UK: couldn't get it anywhere until last Friday when I got a stock notification email: now quite a few suppliers are offering it again.
Some suppliers are advertising it as 1gb but Archos on their web store do not specifiy the RAM (all with the same model number).
I have contacted Archos but honestly, the guys there do not have a clue! They have escalated my query this time however, which is, "is there a 502036 available with 1gb RAM, because my model only has 512mb".
One of the suppliers advertising it as 1gb is also following up the query for me with Archos. All they can say is that Archos notified them the new stock would be 1gb RAM but their item looks identical to mine in every way (and to the one on the Archos web-site - all the same model number of course too).
Very surprised that even with part number, model number, product ID and everything, Archos could not tell me what my RAM was: I had to download an app to find out myself.
They also insisted that unless Ice cream sandwich was pre-installed, it was not 1.5Ghz: but mine definitely is, even though it still only has Android 3.2!

I have a 501840,
Came preinstalled with honeycomb and showed only 512 RAM until I updated to ICS where it shows 1GB.
One user from this forum just had de same problem...do the update to ics and it should say 1GB...it due kernel limitations in honeycomb...
this did the trick for the guy i+m talking about...i hope

yes .. the update on ICS increase the RAM !!!!
Archos, it's a kind of magic !!!
magic indeed! Even as I read this thread, updates appear to have downloaded - but still I have 466 MB ram. Let me see if a reboot will activate the magic for me!
Is it the honeycomb update or the ice cream sandwich one?
For me, I could not update to ice cream sandwich with the tablet updater. I had to manually download the update here:
http://update.archos.com/9/gen9/gen9_4.0.4/firmware_archos_it4.aos
Download this file, connect the tablet to your computer, copy this file over onto the tablet, the tablet should ask you if you want to install the update (if it doesn't, find and select the file in the file browser on the tablet) then let it update.
Once you have Ice Cream Sandwich running you should have your 1gb of RAM.
Unbelievable: magic indeed! Tablet has auto updated (once I realised I had to request the install) from honeycomb to ICS and now has full 1gb ram (well, 'max 892Mb anyhow')!
Why o why can't Archos put this basic information on their web-site instead of just staying absolutely silent about the RAM? Only you guys, especially calj, not even Archos customer service or tech support (not at the customer interface level anyhow) have any idea what is going on! I guess the update would have happened anyway, but some of us like to know what is going on and to be sure we have got the right product.
Thanks again to all who have correctly informed me here.
Does this also apply to the 1.2GHz Turbo models? When I updated to ICS, it didn't show the 1GB of RAM, but I'm hopeful if I downgrade to Honeycomb, then upgrade to ICS that it might "unlock" it.

No, it doesn't apply to 1.2, Archos added memory very recently and it's only available on what they called ICS models.
It's not the fimrware installation that unlocks it, it's because ICS kernel is the only one that can handle it. So downgrading/upgrading won't work, and downgrading is not possible anyway.
Got my g9 101 ICS 1.5ghz 1gb few days ago. Seems like hdmi-out is completely broken for me. Tried with the official 4.04 and the test firmware no change. Have also tried keeping hdmi connected when booting the device and still nothing. Is everyone with g9 101 ics having this same issue?
Max 890MB
Dear All,
I am new to forum. I just bought the 1.5Ghz and updated to ICS. My RAM is showing 890mb max. Please is this equivalent to 1gb ram

What did they confirm? 512Mb or 1 Gb RAM?
Thanks
They told me that the one specifically on that link comes with 1GB of RAM.
Thank you!
I have just recieved the one from the link and.. it is 512mb RAM -.-;
I have mailed them to find out what's going on.
CORRECTION:
I have just upgraded to ICS and all of a sudden the device is showing 893MB of RAM!!
How weird! If anyone wants any details or anything please ask

I'm not surprised... the kernel has to support 1GB memory layout and it came late in Gingerbread kernels. Probably not really functional.
How does feel the tablet ? Smooth ?
Do you have access to a 512M one to compare ?
I have access to the 1GHz model so comparisons are unfortunately not just with the RAM.
However I can say that the browser supports many more tabs now without having to reload the tab when switching - also has not caused any crashes yet.
The most noticeable thing is when launching a memory intensive program on the 512 model the launcher is pushed out of memory and has to be reloaded when returning. This hasn't occured for me (yet) on the 1GB model.
Other than this I can't think of any other comparisons for just the RAM. Of course the device is much more fluid thanks to the higher GPU and CPU clock, and the quadrant score is a fair bit higher.
The dual core 1.5GHz Archos is only slightly faster than the single core galaxy tab? Are you sure?
---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------
want to ask if you know the US turbo version would also get 1G RAM even if the CPU is 1.2GHz? Thanks in advance!
The Galaxy Tab has much lower blue (processor), red (memory), and yellow (graphics) score than the archos, but it has very high green (i/o) score which I think is to do with the speed of the flash storage.
U forgot to "reply me", but I saw ur post anyway... Well, I missed the color and compared the whole score, sorry about that, haha.
BTW, do you know the US turbo version also has a 1G RAM or the 512M one? Thanks!
The US turbo 1.2 GHz is 512 I'm pretty sure.
The 1.5GHz can be either 512mb or 1GB, you will have to ask wherever you want to buy it from
how about batterylife?
does anybody know if there are going to be custom roms cooked in the near futur?
thanks
In the UK at the Carphone Warehouse the 1Ghz model is available for £150. I am wondering if there is any noticeable performance differences between the 101 G9 and the 101 Turbo G9?
Also, will Archos just decide to update the Turbo to Jelly Bean?

Yes there is a noticeable performance gain. The 1.5ghz model runs more fast and efficient. I recommend that one. If Archos decides to update the G9s to jelly bean, most likely they will update ALL G9s (including 1.0ghz)

Consider also that the Turbo version available now (new item, not used one) has 1 ghz RAM, while the old 1ghz G9 has only 512 MB RAM. That also is important.
Antutu Benchmark of my Archos G9 250gb Turbo (ICS 4.0.3 rel. 4.7, 1.5 ghz CPU, 1 GB RAM): 7.300, that's noticeable (Galaxy SIII: 11-14.000, Transformer Prime: 9-10.000, Galaxy Note: 7.000). Consider that with the 8/16 gb flash version you can reach a better value (the 250 gb HDD is a little bit slower and it has a negative impact on the benchmark).
I recomend you to buy the new 1.5 ghz cpu - 1 gb ram...

although watch out because there are models that are turbo models but only have 512mb ram. you have to buy one with ics sandwich listed on the box. if it doesnt have that then it is an older model and wont have the 1gb ram.
archos 101 g9 turbo 8gb - some help , please
Archos 101 G9 Turbo ( ICS )
I had a problem with USB HOST because I cannot connect anything to it.
After some unsucess on trying I went to a reformat but speeding up the situation I forget to see that the system can only be manual reinstall using a AOS file that it is on Archos site but I cannot find that file and the only link that I find was broken.
Can someone on charity mode provide me the file and some instrutions to my 2 day´s device regain life ?
Thank you, your help will be much appreciate.

1.5Ghz v 1Ghz
Hi Mr.fast
I own a 1.5Ghz / 1GB (G9 Turbo) and I am really impressed, with the performance of this sub £200 slate. No doubting the extra 512MB of RAM on the turbo version, works well with the Texas Instruments OMAP 4460 ES1.1 CPU.
So with the two extra half gigs of power and ram,its quick.
Also you might find the 1Ghz non Turbo version comes with "Honeycomb" and is upgradeable to "ICS".
However I would definitely recommend upgrading the ICS firmware (4.0.1) to (4.0.3) asap, as I found the out the box firmware very buggy, random reboots, WiFi disconnects freezing etc...
I think Archos will offer Jelly Bean, in the first or second Qtr ,2013.
Regards A.Cusack
P.S. I think this is one of the cleanest ICS roms i,ve seen, you even get the option to add the third party apps.
perhaps !
I'm guessing that the turbos are much smoother than my tablet. Even though with serdu pics blue mine is much much better.

I can pick up a fire that works fine but says it cannot be registered. would this be fine if I planned on running a custom rom and using the android market. The price is around $80. Is this a good tablet for that or am I better off buying something else. I have rooted unlocked and flashed roms on motorolla backflip and a couple of atrixes so I am not completely helpless in flashing and modding. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
Ok another part of the question is do you think this tablet would run better than a brand new cheap tablet ( below $100). I know the fire i am looking at has a 1ghz dual core processor and 512mb ram I cannot find anything new with a dual core for this price. Do they run better than a tablet with a 1ghz or 1.2 single core and does the 512mb ram cause a problem
I am looking at this for a eight year old to play some games on maybe read and text with the pinger app
It`s fine for a custom rom just research how to do what you need to do before leaping.

The Kindle Fire may be inferior in some hardware aspects to those cheap tablets BUT a lot of those cheap tablets have horrible battery life! What's the use of having a tablet in which the battery only lasts 2-3 hours? They may look like a great deal but another thing to consider is can you actually upgrade them?.....the Kindle Fire has a huge following and because of that you'll continue to see lots of development for it.
ok so purchaced a couple cheaper tabs 1 new curtis tab for 50$. 1 new uniden for 60. and a used herotab for $36. the 2 new ones have ics and were easy enough to get gapps on and root (uniden came rooted). herotab runs gingerbread and i have yet to try rooting as it has gapps allready. all 3 have 1ghz and 512 mb ram. herotab runs the best in my opinion but it may just be that gingerbread is less demanding. i got these for my kids age 8 and 3 1/2. youngest actually does better on Android devices than 8yearold lol. i think they run fine for what they will do with them. i plan on returning one of the new ones. i also picked up a gallaxy note phone for myself $150 so i dont need a tablet... anyway thanks for all the advice (even if i went the other way)

As long as they keep working.

Personally, I hope it never happens. There is absolutely nothing about 4.1 or 4.2 (other than maybe a slight increase in touch screen operation) that I can see of any real need/use.
Heck, on the Archos G9's there are really only 3 things worth moving up from the Archos 3.2.80 to 4.0.7:
1) Google added and option in the stock Android browser to "request desktop page".
2) Archos made some improvements to their HDMI output.
3) Added Xbox 360 USB controller functionality.
If it were not for those 3 things I would happily stayed back with 3.2.80. It was already a mess before Archos ever got 4.0.7 anywhere near working right (and it still had Wi-Fi connection flaw that were not there in 3.2.80)... and now, they've made a total disastrous mess with the 4.0.2x firmware releases.
Just think about how horrible things would get if they tried to release 4.1 or 4.2? Not to mention, even Google now has to fix things in 4.2 to start with even for their own flagship Nexus products. Why do so many people want the NEXT thing before anyone even gets the current thing to work correctly?
Sorry, don't mean to be rude. It's just that I do not understand the concept of wanting the next new piece of garbage that comes out before they fix the crap they already have out there?
The G9 ist unresponsive / laggy especially with only 512 MB RAM. Jelly Bean is a step forward and I want it ASAP with a lot of butter

If Archos release Jelly Bean for the G9 devices (and I have real doubts about that happening), I think you will be very disappointed with the performance on the old outdated hardware of the G9. But first, let's look at how the Google "hype' is very similar to the "hype" Microsoft used over the years...
They both "claim" each new OS is better and faster than the previous one. I know for a fact that is not true with Microsoft Windows. Just try to install Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 on an older computer that originally came with Windows 98... it does not run faster at all (actually slower) simply because each newer OS came out on newer, better, and faster hardware in the newer computers.
Android Honeycomb came out when tablets still had slow, single core CPU's with only 256 or (if you were lucky) 512MB of system RAM.
Android Ice Cream Sandwich came out on devices that had faster dual core CPU's with 1Gig of system RAM. Even though it can run on older devices with only 512MB of RAM it runs slower on those devices than Honeycomb did.
Jelly Bean first came out on the Nexus 7 which has a quad core CPU and a 12 core graphics processor. So, even if Archos could make the "butter" stuff work on a G9 (which I doubt they can)... there is simply no way it can ever run as smooth and fast as it does on the Nexus 7 simply because the G9 hardware is no where near the same level as newer devices have now.
And, some companies are already making devices with 2Gig RAM just to be able to stay ahead of any newer Android version requirements.
The Archos 101 XS has both a newer and better CPU and graphics processor. While the even newer Archos GamePad and 80 XS have an even faster (1.6Ghz) CPU and a quad core graphics processor and come with Jelly Bean installed from the factory. And even those are still no match to the performance of the Nexus 7.
Hello everyone,
let's make it as short as possible. As the title says, there are plenty of Polaroid tablets with not-bad specs ( one core arm cpu clocked at 1Ghz or more) that need some of the Devs magic. For unknown reasons, the manufacturing comapny, the very famous Polaroid released the MIDC range and left it without any upgrades and I am sure their forums is full with threads begging them to give our old but much loved devices upgrades to newer android versions or just updates to fix bugs and add some nowadays necessary features.
And here I am, the unelected spokesman of all Polaroid MIDC tablets owners, looking for some attention and care from our beloved XDA-devs to do something in regard of this cause.
Thanks in advance. I am totally willing to pay Devs for this cause and want to try Google now on my device please.

I got ics on my pmid10c. Polaroid strung me along from when i bought it new in 2011 until this year about kernel source.
First, "the device is too new for releasing kernel source."
Later "we're referring that question to engineering who'll get back to you."
Never heard back after any of my many many phone calls and emails, until the last time when they actually called me back.
"The device isn't supported anymore, the factory that built it is closed, and we don't have access to the source code now."
Worthless manufacturer.
I talked with another developer here on xda about kernel source, the sunxi kernels build and boot but lack support for the extra hardware like touchscreen and sound and gps etc.
Find me kernel source and maybe i can help out.
