Hi folks,
in two days I have to decide wheather I keep my archos 101 g9 turbo or send it back to amazon.
Right now I am mostly satisfied. I like the overall performance and the nice display for a very fair price.
I don't like the stuttering scrolling (and thats a big point imho) and the fact that many good games are not working on the device.
So what do you think is the potential of this device? Will there be an update to solve the scrolling issue? Will there be a solution (or a porting) for most of the gameloft games in the future?
Will there be a possibility to get CWM working? Will there be a active dev scene just to get AOKP oder CM9?
I just want to get some opinions from you, maybe this will help me with my decision to keep the archos.
Best regards.
I also have 7 days left to send it back but im satisfied with it..
to solve the scrolling "bug":
Only the orientation where you applied your wallpaper, will not be smooth..
So I guess you wont use your device upside down right?
Then now hold it upside down and select your wallpaper..
It will now only lag in the upside down orientation, not in the normal one
(archos logo on bottom)
This works for me on my 80 G9, maybe it also works for you

The scrolling bug will be solved if archos ever fixes their kernelk
CWM is already being worked on be Letama, however he said he's busy until October I think he said
Will devs be around? Ask them
I'm thinking about getting a tab pro 8.4 WiFi only (320) and have a few questions.
1-just how laggy is touchwiz. This is my first samsung and have no experience with touchwiz. Does the general ui lag when switching between homescreen pages or moving through apps.
2- does resolution greatly affect the graphic performance. My existing phone (xperia P) can't handle heavy game's or websites. I need to know if the gpu is any good or not. Does it run dead trigger 2 on ultra high smoothly or asphalt 8 maxed out smoothly?
I need something to last me a few years.
3- is web browsing smooth?
4- is 2 gb ram sufficient? Are there too many redraws?
5- how bad are the WiFi signal drops. I live in a small apartment so this does not matter much.
6- any other flaws I should be worried about? Over heating etc.
7- is the contrast ratio acceptable? Blacks dark enough?
I couldn't find conclusive answers to these on the web and hopefully this will help future buyers. (including me )

Have had the 8.4 pro for a couple months now and I can attest to the fact that it is a nice tablet. Screen is fantastic and performance is smooth. Gets great wifi signal in my house which has concrete walls that make it difficult to get signal for most devices. Only real problem I have with it is the android experience overall on the tablet. Many apps display stretched versions of phone apps (twitter, mlb at bat, etc) and web browsing could be better.

@bkerk25
Could you do me a flavour?
Download asphalt 8 and run it on the maximum graphical settings and tell me if it is smooth enough.
Ps. Use mentions @[Username]

Its not the kind of thing where it locks up the device for a significant amount of time (seconds or even 1 second) but just a lack of general fluidity (split seconds of lag) within TouchWiz itself (not within 3rd party apps) when swiping through home screens,going back and forth to app drawer, etc. Really not the type of thing we should be seeing at this point with higher-end Android devices. So while disappointing, many folks are probably fine with it. Me on the other hand, got tired of it after a couple months, rooted and flashed a CM-based custom ROM, and much happier with the fluidity now.

If you are asking such questions about gaming and RAM, I have trouble believing you will be satisfied with any device for a "few" years. Maybe 2 years tops. But really the best you can do is by the best tablet you can afford (and the Pro 8.4 is a great contender) and hope for the best in terms of it being "future proof".
I'm not much of a gamer, so I can't help you much here, unfortunately.

I have had no issue with WiFi. The Pro 8.4 has as good or slightly better WiFi reception as other Android devices I've used. I use my Pro 8.4 on my back porch, with my WiFi router being in the front of the house and on the 2nd floor.

I had a minor issue with the battery meter sometimes not displaying properly after a charge. It would still read something like 50 or 60% when I had been charging it for long enough to be full. After a reboot, it would read 100%. Happened fairly occasionally, maybe once a week or a couple times a week. Others have noted similar issues.
This seems to be software based, as I haven't encountered this on my current CM ROM. And possibly this has been fixed in newer stock software.
Nothing else I've noticed since owning the tablet since April.

Subjective. I'm used to LCDs, so the blacks are dark enough to me, and the colors look realistically vivid. If you are coming from AMOLED, you might feel differently. An LCD will never going to meet the infinite contrast ratio of AMOLED.
@redpoint73
Thankyou.
I should have termed it better. I didn't mean lag but delay and lack of fluidness. You phrased it perfectly.
Like you said, other than the tegra k1 sheild I doubt that any device is "future proof". What I meant was that if it is capable of running modern games maxed out. Obviously better games with higher demands will come but for the moment this will probably be sufficient. What worries me is the resolution. It's far greater than 1080p and I was worried if the adreno could handle games as they grew more demanding.
The contrast on my xperia P is terrible ( whites are 900 nits. Figure the blacks.) and at the moment any display would look darker. As this is my first tablet I didn't have anything good to compare it to (other than an android 1.5 tablet ). So I hoped that someone with past experience could tell me better.

"Lag" is as good a term of it as any. I just wanted to clarify to anyone that has not witnessed it firsthand, it just a lack of fluidity, and not like you are staring at screens loading for seconds on end, or anything like that.
@redpoint73
I pretty much expected that. One more question. How long does is take for the screen to turn on after pressing the power button?
My father owns a galaxy s3 and turning on the screen takes about 2 seconds. On my xperia P it's instant. I'm guessing it's something to do with touchwiz.

Actually seemed pretty instantaneous on TouchWiz. I've been on CM for a few weeks now, so that's just by memory. Actually, its a bit slower on CM, but still not 2 seconds. Maybe 1 second.

1) The first TW was soo laggy but it did two updates and seems okay now but I still plan to root/get CM11
3) Web browsing seems fine to me
4) Screen is fine - probably comparing to Super AMOLED like on the Tab S it may not be as good but it's as good as any other tablet out there if not better with the high screen res

How about gaming. Does it run asphalt 8 on ultra high smoothly?
hello guys ....yesterday i bought lg g3 32/3 edition ....and it worked all good and performes without lag at home screen >>>so today i got asphalt 8 from my brother's galaxy s4 and it worked >>>but it has alot of lag slutters .....it lagged even on very low quality i get the same lag ...idk why ...then i got amazing spider man 2 and modern combat 5 (modded apk) and it lags alot even thoughe all those games dont lag on galaxy note 2 which has alot weaker proccessor >>>>so anyone knows wut wrong with the device ....is this happened cause i didnt download from play store ....or is it because the quad hd res ????the phone is on warranty >>should i get it to warranty .....i dont care much about big size games ...but iam afraid that the phone is bricked ......another thing that i tried to start a race on both devices at both times (my lg and galaxy s4 )and the race began on galaxy s4 3 seconds earlier from my phone...
another problem is that the obb files i put them inside android/obb got lost after i reboot the device ..idk why ?the first time this happened i did a factory reset (because the obb files didnt get removed ...they disapperead ...and the storage remains as if they were exists ....(when i open storage ...misc ....i found out that system data uses 14.9 gb of the storage )) i hope anyone can help ....i need to know if i should replace the phone on warranty
ill be thankful
and sorry for the very baad english
There is nothing wrong with your phone. A bricked phone cannot boot, you aren't even close to that. The obb files probably have the wrong permissions set. As for warranty, again there is nothing wrong with your device. Games are not optimized with the larger screen is most likely the cause
so the phone sux at gaming?
u mean that there is nothing wrong with the phone as it performes sux at gaming ....so wut should i do ...i saw guys on youtube plays asphalt at maximum graphics without lag ....why cant i then

That's the performance you get from the G3. For a QHD screen you need a more powerful processor like the 805 for gaming.
so
So guys ....no soultion ? But at least my phone isnt misfunctioning but at least there is something i can do
easy solution; if you are within the return period, then exchange it for a different phone

Nothing you can do.
You see I play these tiny games, Swing Copters, 1 and 2. These are games where you continuously need to touch the screen to keep the gameplay alive. Now I know almost no one else play these games, and other than these two games I myself don't play any games either :laugh:
Now the thing is, I have been playing these games for like three years now. Started from Moto X, then moved to Note 3, Note 4 and now Pixel. Now I never had any touch screen related issues previously on those phones, but now on the Pixel I do have touch screen issues, as if one or two touches are missed/ignored if you continuously touch the screen, making the game impossible to play. Now I am unsure whether this is because of these games' incompatibility with Nougat, or simply a hardware issue on the Pixel!
So I am asking here, for those of you who play a lot of games, and those games mainly where you need to continuously touch the screen to keep the game alive (Angry Bird or Subway surfer won't cut it!), do you guys notice any such problems?

I just downloaded swing copters to give it a shot. I didn't notice any immediately apparent issues with the touch screen. I do play clash of clans and feel like occasionally a touch isn't registered, but it's like 1 time out of 5000 which makes me think I simply missed what I was trying to push rather than it being an issue with the screen.
Ha ha you just confirmed my doubt mate. It was already mentioned in google's support page, someone else also was having same problem, don't remember which game anyway. Its also not 1/5000 for me, but something like 1/500 or something, which is completely unacceptable anyway. I have been playing this game for over two years, and spread over three different phones and none had this problem, obviously, cause none had any hardware issue like this.
Thanks for your input.
I've had issued. There's a touch calibration app that really helped. But i recently rma'd and hoping that isn't issue on new device.

Best of luck mate. I have had the same on three XLs now. Two of them manufactured in the month of October, one January. Have no interest to test again, I am certain this has affected all the XLs, but whatever.
Created a topic on Google's support page too, if more users are here then please keep this topic alive. I don't have the phone any more, won't, so don't care personally but other users might get help from this.
I don't know if this kind of thread has been posted, if does please lead me there.
I've bought Xiaomi Mi6 second hand MIUI 9.2.3.0 installed, so i can play these two games Lineage 2 Revolution and HIT Heroes of Incredible Tales cause on my old one Mi 4c its drain battery fast and very hot. But the game seems incompatible with this phone, sound effects and char sound often dissappearing and appear,
only background music that stable. I tried installed other games to test it if this affect many games, Need for Speed, Modern Combat and Kritika but those games is fine and games with lower graphics is fine too.
This is my first post after a ling time, i kindly hope I'll get the solution for my problems. Thanks!
So.. no one answered. Great!

i have the same issues here !! play lineage 2 revolution in my zenfone max pro m1 !! i do not know whats wrong ><><< but i test other games thats sound work normally !! just lineage 2 revolution only have that issue !! no sound battle,, dissappearing and appear !! suck -_-
sorry for my bad english XD
