[Q] Archos 101 G9 250GB - Slow boot with 4.0.25

Hello,

I have since 2 weeks and Arcohs 101 G9 Turbo 1GB RAM 250 Gb. Originally it shipped with 4.0.7 and I did not notice any issues with it. I loaded it with some 100 GB media and apps, including several large games

I made the update to 4.0.25 stock after it;s release, without wipe. Unfortunately I began to have issues:
- HDD seemed to freeze after waking the tablet from sleep / deep sleep. If i launched a large game or browsed gallery the hdd icon will stay on but nothing would happen. If the tablet would go in standby during this waiting it can no longer be waken except by reset (push Power on button for 10 seconds)
- a reboot takes 5 minutes
- disk check from recovery did not find anything


In order to solve this I did a re-flash of 4.0.25 stock with full wipe. Result
- after wipe the tablet boot up quite fast (40 sec)
- after installing again the apps / games (several GB) the boot time increased again to 5 minutes
- still testing to see if the HDD freeze after reboot remains...

I also contacted Archos asking if it is possible to revert to 4.0.7. They answered very promptly... unfortunately by issuing an RMA authorisation.

Any recommendations / experience from forum members? I would like to know I tried everything before sending the tablet to France for replacement (I expect I will be at least one month without it)...

Thank you

Robert
