I have read that the A70 doesn't like cool environments and that (together with the deep-sleep problem) some/many users are in trouble.
So besides preventing the A70 from going into deep-sleep, I was thinking of buying another, powerfull, usb-charger (with the right din-plug) hoping that the stock charger was the bad guy.
Can anybody confirm that it really is the A70 itself that doesn't like cool environments and it is useless buying another charger or is it worth the risk?
Hello, if the charger is preventing the a70 from getting cold or deep-sleep, then you should try.

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone has experienced a high pitched buzz/whine/noise from their wall charger when it is plugged in and charging, it only seems to happen when the phone is also plugged into it, the screen turned off and the phone is fully charged, however it is really annoying to sleep near/in the same room with.
I was at first convinced it was the power converter that I am using (being in Australia with an imported Atrix) but after trying a new one the problem still persists.
Any advice? thanks in advance

Some old chargers I had did that. Not my atrix.
Its cause of a capacitor in it not working like it should. (Your phone will be ok). I had a netgear router do this to me and it was horrible... on all the time! I feel your pain.

I would replace the charger as it is not working as intended and could be a huge fire risk!
Never, ever think about whether a noise coming from an electric power supply is good. If it's making noise, you have components not working properly.
Just because someone says the noise is alright, and they have experienced it before, DOES NOT make it good! I am not trying to be a drama queen here. It's fine to say that until you have to attend an investigation into someone dying by burning!
Also, to blindly say it is a capacitor is just plain stupid!
People die because of poorly assembled/poor quality electrical equipment. Please take whatever measures you can to ensure all your equipment meets regulations, and works correctly!
I never said it wasn't a fire risk
Thanks for the help! For the time being would it be safer to use an iphone wall charger? I have a few of those but didn't want to risk anything
Thanks again

As long as it outputs no more than 950w (probably says on charger... though it is apple) it'll be fine.

Hey dude,
I had similar issues when i imported mine, just grab a new BlackBerry charger from any store, that'll do the trick. the internals are better.
=)
Im sorry the title seems vag, but here is the thing, I wanna know from anyone what the voltage is for the tablet ( Archos A101IT ) and also when its Completly dead does the charge lite come on? If not will the system start its self? Im asking because i can get one almost new without a cord but im afraid to get it because they will not take it back if it doesn't work at all ( asking 150 ) Let me know so i know what to do!
thanks.

The device could be charged with a standard 5V wall-charger.
Refering to the Archos FAQ, a current of 1A should be sufficient for charging.
You will need special 3.5mm DC adaptor-plug to connect to the device.
Personally, i use an old IPAQ wall charger (5V/2A) and soldered the DC-plug myself. Make sure you use the right polarity.
The device will charge autonomous, even if it is bricked.
So the decision is up to you if you buy it.
On my device there'd been some hardware problem i was able to fix, but i needed professional equipment to do so.
Under normal circumstances the gen8 series are hard to brick, but you never know.
The most common hardware issues are cracked screens

Hi,
So I recently bought a Platinum HD 9.7 to replace my G9 101 but it is dreadfull !!
Its really slow, I keep getting 'Force Closes', the Wifi is flakey and charging via USB is a bit dodgy, the connector has to be perfectly flush and it only seems to work with the supplied charger, most other chargers don't even register (I know you need the proper charger to charge at a decent rate, but it should still charge slowly off a 500mA supply).
Is anyone else seeing these issues?
Also slightly worrying I tried to register my device on the Archos website so I could complain to tech support, but it says the serial number is unrecognised, Could I have a cheap chinese clone ? I bought it from overclockers which seem reputable ?
Cheers,
Neil
Hey, I ran into a funny/dumb situation. I was on a trip and broke my micro usb port on the S3 and it was crucial for me to use the phone that couple of days (it was drained) so I found out that I can pin the wires from a regular USB cable (+ and -) out of my laptop to my battery while it was in the phone so it worked for a few times i got the charge. But then after the 5th(ish) charging the phone is not switching on... Yeah, I know, I probably fried my main board on the S3. The question is, is it worth to get it fixed? I really liked that phone though, I was not planning to change it until the S6 came out or something. Is it just waste of money and I should look out for a newer one or can fix it for a reasonable price?
Could you suggest something guys? Would really appreciate your help.
Thanks.
New motherboard is more expensive than a second hand phone would be.
I'm not sure if it's just me but did any of you guys get a charging cable with your LG G3 for Sprint that doesn't really stick in the charging port very well? It's always falling out of my phone and doesn't seem to connect very well. Just curious, I really don't mind buying a new cable but was wondering if it was an issue with all of them
Haven't noticed any problems with mine.
I've never had an issue with the cable itself, but from day one, always had to push connector in phone, at a slight angle.
sent from my LG G3
I would recommend exchanging it or having a sprint tech check the port to see if its faulty. I've slid my plugged in phone off of my nightstand and the cable kept it from hitting the floor.
Mine stays in the phone but falls out of the wall
I appreciate the feedback, im guessing i's just the particular one that came with the phone. I bought it full price at Best Buy
Maybe it's because of the outlits. I use a power strip with no problem.
