Got your Vega? Share your thoughts!

[Guest Bisto321]

I get the add widget error too. How annoying!

This is looking a bit poor - is everyone getting widget errors?

[Guest Bisto321]

You can't install from AppBrain though can you?

P

Yeah, thought it was linked to google market? Archos Appslib should be included

[Guest 5c00ter]

The guys on the twitter account AdventVega are happy to take questions etc. especially if there's any teething problems. If you're on Twitter then it's probably a good call to send them your questions/issues.

P.S. They're fairly quick at answering questions.

Yep thats true, I've just come to realise that :s

[Guest Divvet]

Just asked on twitter about the widget issue.

waiting for reply.

[Guest firedup]

Does the mail tvcatchup.com site work well? How does the video look?

Anyone been able to play and output HD to a TV?

Grrrr...mines been out for attempted delivery but the bloody missus was at Sainsbury's!

I get the following error when trying to add widgets to the home screen.

The application Launcher (process com.android.ilauncher2) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

re. apps, does that mean the only way to get them on the tablet is:-

1. from Archos site (selection looks pretty poor), or

2. direct from developers site?

[Guest Curfish]

First impressions from me

+Screen is very responsive

+viewing angles seem ok, but not a amazing

-it wont seem to connect to my wireless

-the screen is so reflective, its like looking in a mirror even on full brightness. will be useless for outdoor use

Cheers

[Guest DrSuave]

Get LauncherPro loaded on ASAP.

Would have to know how well LauncherPro works on there

[Guest alfe]

The archos is back in stock at DSG... its looking a lot more tempting now?

[Guest rovex]

Anyone tried fixing permissions with ROM manager? I realise not having the market makes that harder to install in the first place.

[Guest TylerDurdenK]

It wont play .flac files.

oh no! I plan to use it as a clapperboard in video production, be no good if it's reflecting the camera

[Guest debs626]

me taking my vega out of the box and a very quick startup demo

(sorry for the angle and quality)

.mkv 720 file plays ok, was a tiny bit jittery at first but played smoothly after 20 seconds or so.

Scratch that ^^^ plays video but no sound B)

Yep until Paul gets his - then you will all have market about 15 minutes later.

You may be able to DIY it with the info and advice from the viewsonic chaps in the good'ol US of A here -----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827209

Mount, check for ADB recognition in cmd line and try oneclick root. Then follow the above, almost worked for folio but the google framework was not presenting the MAC address correctly and failed at registration.

Dexter chap on XDA has modded the 'search and replace' code and market reg now works on the folio. If the viewsonic thread does not work, I am sure paul can achieve the same very easily.

If you click on the "watch now" links in the tvcatchup tv guide it works but wont go full screen :s bit glitchy but watchable (could be my internet connection)

[Guest Nanu*1]

I'm really disliking the viewing angle to be honest.... :-(

[Guest shutdown]

hmm not heard anyone jumping for joy really. all feels anti-climatic now you're getting them

it's like boxing day already B)

Is the general consensus that screen is not very good ???

[Guest Paul]

Heh, everyone's just too busy playing! B)

[Guest Nanu*1]

The keyboard doubling up on letters is really beginning to get on my tits....

[Guest Bisto321]

Bound to happen really - thrill of the chase and all that. Now you have caught it wot you gonna do wiv it?

Shame about the screen, may put lots off. Better to have paid £240 for it than £330 though!

I'm finding it very difficult to do anything with it as I cannot type passwords with the bloody keyboard....
