Archos 101 G8 - browsing is broken - Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've just taken a 101-G8 out of its box after about 10 years. I was pleased to find it was still in working conditions, was able to connect it to the wifi, use the installed apps, but trouble started when I tried to browse (using the pre-installed Dolphin browser). Almost all sites give me the 'Web page not available' message. After some trials I found that accessing http version instead of https would work, if the site didn't force a redirect. So I suspect a certificate issue, but I have no clue how to update them. Then I found out that the AppsLib and Market apps are no longer supported, so I can't update or install new apps.
After reading the forums, I know I could try to upgrade Android to something like 4.0 (via Cyanogen), but I'm not even sure this would fix my browsing issues, which is all I need right now (I'd like to use it for my kids to access the doodlelearning.com website). Any advice for me?
Thanks!

certificate errors - market website

The new android market website is returning security certificate errors when I visit it in Internet explorer?
https://market.android.com/
Is this the correct address?
google shows this one and another, which also brings up security warnings.
http://www.android.com/market/free.html
anyone else getting this?
What is the actual official sites address?
cheers
The address you have is correct. No errors in Firefox.
Checked the cert and appears to have been signed by Google. Maybe IE doesn't recognize them as a signing authority.
hmmm, I just tried it in chrome and its ok,
odd, yesterday it was working fine in IE...
cheers.
last night I noticed my the standard Android browser on my Archos 70 was giving me security warnings when browsing to market.android.com. I could ignore them though. Complaint was that Google had signed the certificate, not Android.
The market seems to be hastily put on-line. I'm sure it will clear up in a few days.
Probably wouldn't hurt to post a bug report. I see there are already several in the forum. Just search for certificate.

No problem with FireFox but Archos's Device could not install any app from https://market.android.com/

[Q] Android Market online issue

I am using a GTab with Vegan Gingerbread.
When I try to install an app from the online Market (market.android.com) on my tablet, it always say cannot associate my device to the account. And I find nowhere in account settings to do so.
Can we associate a tablet to google account and get application from online market, if we use an aftermarket ROM?
Also, anyone knows how to turn off the notificaion sound when email arrives (not turning off the whole volume of the tablet) in "Email" and "Touchdown"
thanks
Have you tried accessing the Market with your tablet? Try that first.
Secondly, depending on what you are trying to install it may not work to install it from the Web Market....
Thirdly, there are other posts that have dealt with this.
Finally, thanks for posting this in the correct forum, though it hasn't gotten the answers you were looking for just yet.

[Q] Problems related to apps and access

First I will say that I found this forum from a thread on Esato and since I have an Xperia X10 Mini Pro with Android 2.1, and saw that this was a professional place, I signed up. Hope some can help a girl out.
I am a newbie when it comes to "all that tech stuff" with cellphones, but I learn fast. I've just recently started to use internet on my phone, and well, some problems occured when trying to download some apps from the android market.
For some odd reason I can't seem to access the android market at all with my gmail/google-account. I think I do it right, I have WiFi on and I put in my gmail-account/google-account, but everytime I get a "can't access market", or "turn WiFi on". But WiFi is on!
What can the problem be?
I've used the "Android Injector" instead and downloaded apk-files from an android software applications site onto my phone memory via the USB-cable. (I can't use the "Android Injector" anymore, as malwarebytes deleted it because apparently it was some malware attached to it).
My phone memory is close to being full (I have 66 mb left), so how can I download future (or already existing) apps to the SDcard?
I've heard that you could install a custom ROM, but I have no idea how to do that. I don't know how to root the phone either. ?
And then, I downloaded an app called "Viber" from an android software applicaions site. I didn't find it useful and uninstalled it, but when I read some newspapers online (World Newspapers app), it came back as a shortcut on my phone. What is this?
Relax!!
Take your time and visit different threads.
We all were noob once and me still is! We have to devote some time reading various forums and section before our doubt gets clear!

Help with Citrix Receiver

Using the CM7 alpha that was briefly available here.
I'm trying to access my employer's citrix server. I've installed the receiver and configured everything properly. I can login, but before it displays my apps, I get an error that says:
Too many server redirects.
I get the same error when accessing the web interface using the default Browser or Dolphin. I installed UCBrowser, and it properly displays the apps. However, when I click them, it simply downloads the ica file, rather than opening it. If I use a file manager and click on the ica file, nothing happens. If I long press it and select Citrix Receiver, nothing happens.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this working?
As the alpha was pulled for various reasons as well as not being ready, I would recommend waiting for a stable release as that problem could be resolved with a future release.
I understand where you are coming from... but the alpha was pulled for reasons not related to this issue. I also had the same problems using Snowball. I'm hoping there is some configuration that will ignore the multiple server redirects...
I just tried it my Evo 4G, running stable CM 7.1, and have the same issue... works fine on my windows and Linux boxes, and on my co-workers iPhone.
Sounds like an overall Android issue. Maybe try the Android forum?

I did read that thread, and tried opera (and a few other browsers) with no success... I'm not sure what APN is though... I'll see if anyone in the general Android forum has seen this.
You might also want to email one of the Citrix Reciver developers, to see if you can download an earlier version of Citrix for testing. They used to have 2.1 and 2.2 on the website, but I don't see that page anymore.

NFL streaming apps, on NOT a tablet?

Both of the NFL streaming apps work fine on my Nexus 7, however I want to use them on a different device (AFTV). I loaded them on and had issues with both.
com.gotv.nflgamecenter.us.lite
There is a 'provider login' button that is missing from the settings tab.
com.neulion.android.tablet.nfl.wnfln
When opened on my tablet it immediately asks me to login with my provider account, on the AFTV it brings up a different screen not giving me that option.
My questions are:
How do these apps know what device they are being run on? Is it grabbing the info from build.prop (I tried editing it to change the product info, didn't have success)
Is there a way to spoof my device information to that app? Or, would decompiling the app and looking for the check be the best course of action?
Has anyone had success in getting around these types of issues previously? I searched and came up empty handed.
