Archos releases bug fix update for 80/101 G9 tablets

Owners of the Archos 80/101 G9 tablets will be pleased to learn that the company has pushed out an update for the tablets that is expected to address a couple of bugs plaguing them. This includes:

Version 4.0.6 – May 3rd, 2012

• Wi-Fi: fix more disconnect cases happening on some access points
• GPS: increase stability of GPS
• HDMI: do not propose overscan setting when TV supports underscan
• muSD: improve reliability of card insertion detection
• muSD: fix read/write permission issue occurring with some applications
• Applications: fix platform reboot occurring sometimes after a while when using high CPU demanding applications

It should be noted that despite the version reading 4.0.6, this not Android 4.0.6, but rather the version of the update. We’re not sure why Archos has decided to use that number as it is admittedly rather confusing, but in any case updates are updates so we guess we can’t complain. The updates are reportedly rolling out now so if you’ve yet to update your tablet, you should probably do so. Let us know in the comments below on how the update is treating you!
