Help Archos downloading issues (no Android phone...)

[tvicha]

Hello,

I'm currently hung up being able to use my Archos 101 internet tablet, as it prompts me that I "have no android phone associated with the email account". I do NOT have an Android phone, but don't need one do I?

I've opened up a gmail account, I've entered in a phone number in my gmail account settings. I've seen many posts online with this issue, but only one suggested solution (that was the entering a phone number in your account settings)

Any advice?

Welcome to Android Forums!!
Not sure really, you should try asking in the archos tablet section as well.

Not really sure what's going on here. Did you do any modding to your Archos (try to add Google apps like the market for example)? If so, please post links for the instructions you followed.

Hi, I think I have the same problem! I syncd my device to my Gmail account yet the android market just wont recognise it.
Is the android market incompatible with ARCHOS?

ps: i didnt modify or do anything to my device except for downloading the proper updates, its brand new

You had to have done some modding to it. The Archos tablets don't come with the Android Market preloaded. What app installer did you use for that (link would be great)?

I didn't do any modding, I don't have the android market loaded in the tablet. I access it from the internet browser in the tablet (https://market.android.com/). Is that the problem?
(thanks for answering btw)

Yep. You don't have android market on your tablet so that's why you don't see a device listed when you go to the Android Market on your PC.
