[MUST WATCH] Android 4.1.1 Mini PC Stick Review! - Android General

This is a review of an Android 4.1.1 Android Mini PC Stick from www.tmart.com. I highly recommend this product. Not only because they sent it to me to review, but because it is just such a great idea. It does not disappoint and it does what it has to do. Its only in the range of 40-50 dollars and the shipping wasn't that bad. This would be a great option even if you are looking for an internet streaming device! Netflix works flawlessly and the wifi strength is great! If you are interested in this product just click the video, go to the description, and click the link! Also, please give this video a like and consider subscribing! It helps!

Update: This product is still working very nice after about a week of moderate use!

Suggestions for buying my first tablet (Remote connection, note-taking)

Good day guys!
I've always used a laptop as my main PC, mainly because I can bring it to university, now I would like to build a desktop and would like to use a tablet to connect remotely to my new desktop and type any notes of documents directly on my PC.
As I would be taking notes/writing documents, it would be necessary to have a keyboard dock, I'm not too sure how the thing with docks work, if only some tablets can have them or if there are universal docks.
Additionally, it would be great if the tablet could play Full HD, or 720p at the very least
Price limit could be up to $500.
Thank you very much for your help everyone!
P.S.: One more thing, separately from the hardware, what is the best app available to do remote connection?

$500 + tax? lol well here we go, You didn't ask for screen size so I'll give some 7 in ones too.
All tablets have an HD resolution, but the only one that has Full HD is the Prime Infinity. To be honest each one has a great screen. Some tablets come with a dock that's is meant for them (Asus Transformer Prime and Galaxy Note 10.1) but each tablet also can be paired with a Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse if you want. Also you can use a USB input dongle with the Note and Prime so that you can use a regular keyboard too (kind silly though =D).
1) Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 in specs http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_10_1_n8000-4573.php
2) Asus Transformer Prime Infinity 10.1 in specs http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_transformer_pad_infinity_700-4606.php
3) Nexus 7 in specs http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_google_nexus_7-4850.php
4) Toshiba Excite 7.7 in specs http://www.gsmarena.com/toshiba_excite_7_7_at275-4693.php
5) Sony Tablet S 10.1 in specs http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_tablet_s-4137.php4
Best Remote connection app is TeamViewer 7 Here's the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamviewer.teamviewer.market.mobile&hl=en, and here's the program you install on your PC http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/windows.aspx.
For me it works pretty much with lag doing light task. So typing and make notes should be a breeze. However, you may experience lag if you are trying to watch a movie on it. I got lag when I tried it out, but I think it is because the GPU on my device (Galaxy Player 4.0) is not powerful enough. These device either have Mali-MP 400, Tegra 3 or Tegra 2 which are far superior. So I hope this helps you, and if you want I try and post reviews of each device.
Wow! Thanks a lot! I wasn't expecting such a detailed response!
From the suggestions you gave me I had been looking at the first three, the other two look really good too! I had been leaning mostly towards the Asus, although the Note also looks tempting, I'll have to do some thinking.
I've also had the galaxy tab on my watch, but it looks like the Asus is better.
Thank you!

You're welcome. Yeah the Galaxy Tab is kinda meh. I think the Note 10.1 is a lot better lol. Have fun. :victory:

Lol yeah. But it isn't like super customized. I just use Go Launcher EX, and tweaked some of the objects using their theme maker. It took a while to find the images though, and I had to photoshop many of them, but it came out well.

Scroll down, and you should see it.
I was going to make a locker for it (still might) but I got kinda lazy =D
Wow! Awesome! I think I'll work on my own theme when I get my tablet!
You can get a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 refurbished on Amazon for $340. This is what i use, it has amazing battery life and a very clear screen! If you remote connect to your desktop it will waste a bunch of battery, but what you can do is type your notes on your tablet and sync them with Dropbox so they will automatically be shared with your desktop. Dropbox is AMAZING! I highly recommend it if you haven't checked it out!

[Q] Tf700 advice

Hi all,
I am looking at getting a tablet for Christmas this year and have my eyes on the Infinity TF700T. I am very new to the tablet market and am still green. I was considering the Nexus 10 but that is out because I live in Ireland and it's not available. I am looking to definitely go with Android as I am a Java developer and would love the opportunity to build apps with a language I know.
I have only really looked into the Inifinity and Nexus due to the increased screen resolution and performance and haven't really considered anything else, but I would consider other tablets if recommended.
I am looking for a tablet that will allow me to:
- Watch movies in good quality
- Surf the web with good performance
- Game with good performance
- Email etc
- Allow the possibility of custom firmware to run linux distros and the like.
- Develop killer apps!
- Possible bluetooth comms with Lego Mindstorm
- Not crash all the time.
I have read a number of reviews for both Nexus and TF700 and know that each has their own issues but when looking at user opinions of the TF700 I have seen nothing but bad reports. Crashes, slow IO, performance issues when browsing, screens peeling off etc....
That's why I am here. To ask the guys that actually use the TF700 are these concerns real? Is it a case of a few bad batches or are they all a bit poor? Is slow IO browsing etc a feature of Android or is it hardware? Are newer TF700's better quality?
I am ready to buy today but am held back by these concerns. I would be indebted if anyone could help me out.
Again, I could go the round about route of using a UK relative to get me a Nexus but just out of principal and a liking for Asus, I thought I'd give it a chance.
Ps the best deal I can find is the 64GB with dock for €679. Seems steep but all other places I have looked have it for €700 - 900!
Thanks a million.
Really?!

Mele A1000G Mini PC TV Box

I am considering ordering one of these. Mele A1000G
I've been looking for a true Android solution for a set top box, and this seems like a great option. I don't have cable and will rely on this for all my TV needs. Currently, I have a Boxee Box and a Zeki Media Streaming Box, but I am not happy with the Zeki at all and I think the specs on this box look like a great replacement. The Boxee has worked pretty well for a year or so, but it;s starting to be too buggy for me. If anyone has any thoughts or experience with the Mele A1000G, I'd love to hear it.
Me too

I’ve also experienced the crash to AllWinner splash screen with another AllWinner A31 device (CS868) twice. I could only fix it by re-installing the firmware. I think there’s a problem with the way they currently handle the partitions.

I ended up ordering an MK808B instead. I opted for it because it has so much development support. After about a week with it, I was frustrated with the navigation on Netflix and Hulu. So, I returned it and just hooked up an old Gateway Core 2 Duo to my TV. I got this computer recently for $100 with a widescreen monitor, mouse, keyboard and speakers. So, in the end I ended up spending much less money and as much as I thought I wanted the Android box, the PC is working so much better than any other set top box I've ever used. I'm out of the market for anything new now.
if anyone else is still interested in this box. stay tuned mine is on the way from china. i'll update with a mini review
I bought this box after looking at others, the box has good hardware but the software is not optimized for it. The new firmware is still better but still not fully optimized. Mele need to work more on software, a lot of work is needed.

This TV-Box is completely unstable.
During the first hour of use revealed an inherent bugs. Device hangs and reboots spontaneously. Error messages arising that the application is not responding after each mouse click. LAN port does not work. The new firmware 1.2.5 & 1.2.7 does not solve the problem. The seller refused to bear the shipping fee of return which is expensive. The claim has been resolved, and AliExpress has made a full refund to me with no returning goods.

You spam it everywhere, with same sentences and same "build of text". odd...
So I´m asking anyone else here (in his own words) anyone ordered the box and tested it?
Hm no one got this box? ;(

Bought on of these, can't read Chinese so just about.everything on it is being deleted. Honestly the windows 8 front launcher sucks. Download go launcher from google play. Netflix works as does xbmc for media sharing. Would be cool.to.see a new port for another themed rom. Took it.apart and found a spot that looks likes a.sata port connection. Maybe solder a port in the future and see if I can add.som.extra storage.

How about DTS passthrough and 1080p streaming did you tested it?
I wish this box can work as a miracast receiver, maybe in the future. The main guy at Mele said they have received a new sdk from allwinner and that will hopefully help them to get a better firmware

Mine arrived today, so far so good. What is really, I mean really odd:
BubbleUPNP: Not able to browse QNAP dlna directories
MX Player: Not able to fast forward.
Every other trash "media player or dlna browser" no problem.... That's really really odd...
Videos play nice even my 1080p videos. There is a miracast button, but only to send? Didn't tried it.
Most "that´s sad" thing: DTS-Passthrough ;( Don´t know how to get it work or if it will ever work... Any ideas?
If someone wants to let me check something (short video for example) let me know.
My opinion so far: VERY GOOD BOX! Someone wrote other manufactures try to trash the box, I would say right now: It really looks like that...
Edit: DTS-Passthrough seems to work. Receiver switches from analog to digital DTS when playing DTS content. But Im not quit sure because I live atm in a small room so i can´t play on all 7.1 boxes -_-
Edit2: Never XBMC possible (closed source) or someone signs the NDA and makes a custom XBMC if possible? But I dont know. But that would be awesome! But Plex is also VERY VERY nice and works well
Well ok after around two days with this box:
Never a closed source SoC again Samsung S3 is already a pain in the ass.... now this one. Excellent hardware / price / Speed / power consumption. (thats what die design target of the chip was I think) But it gets useless if no v(ideo) app can draw on this power because they dont open up there hardware decoding for videos.... even the onboard video player is not able to fast forward in video from streams.... what a joke... I really sad because on itselfs it looks nice, behaves nice, only one crash with playOn app which might be the app fault, and speed performance etc looks really well. I would rather keep that box instead of waiting for the minix x7 for another two month or so.... ;(
If anyone got a tip how to get fast forward in mx player for example on a 1080p video from upnp stream I would tryi it...
Aaaaand its gone. Even facebook page is closed now... wow ok...

Yeah noticed the Facebook page is gone! That sucks! We should keep this thread going as this looks like the only community that's legible to English users. The Chinese site has a forum but impossible even after chrome translates the pages. What firmware are your devices running. I've stuck to 1.2.5 didn't want to risk an upgrade and break things that are working

I'm still getting some hang time on my device. Btw it looks like a31 source code is available. Even found a Cwm recovery that sort of works, also can u get droidmote to work on your device? Would be awesome if it did
I got my A1000g 2 days ago. It seems to have a lot of potential but has some bugs hopefully Mele will iron out. I noticed the CPU was clocked at 1ghz so I downloaded Set CPU and raised it to 1.2ghz which seems to run stable, any higher and the box crashes. This also seems to help the hangs which happen a lot. Xbmc has some trouble with HD but is fine on SD. Overall its a nice box which I really hope Mele give a lot of support to and updates to.
PS.I'm having trouble with popcorn player. The edge of the player is off the screen so I can't resize it, it seems to be because the Nav Bar is gone. Does anyone know how to fix this or even get the Nav Bar back?

Well I just filled a send back form out. I will send my meleback and get a refund. The no fast forward and back ward problem is no problem for me ( Use bubble upnp for example) but I can't tell my Girlfriend to to exchange her Blackberry for an Android just to get fast forward in a movie. MX Player said that this problem will persist (even inbuilt player doesn't support fast forward)
My box was / is on 1.27, its really a pitty that I cant get to work. It is really really a nice box. ;( (Damn closed source SoC no one wants to support...)

Yeah, as I wrote, nice box, no crashes just one (Might be the app) but I got the second gen with external wi-fi not internal. So the problems you got might be first gen probs.
The problems I listed are the only problems: 720p+ can´t be fast forwarded on streams. Some players don´t play with hardware encoding (Closed source SoC)
It´s almost funny that closed sourced want open sourced software to sell products and don´t want to "update" there software to use closed sourced hw+ accelaration (MX Player for example)

Where did you get a 2nd gen A1000G with an external antenna?? The only A1000G listed at the MeLE site is this:
http://en.mele.cn/products/show/31.htm
I also got the MeLE A1000G and it's a really bad box. Random factory resets, random freezes and in my box the SD slot is misalligned a bit so you have to force the SD card in. On firmware 1.27 I can't find a XBMC that can play a 720p MKV file without crashing - maybe it will work with an external player, I haven't been able to get that to work yet.
I've been in contact with MeLE directly: Some woman named Susan which seemed very helpfull wrote me that she would send me a new firmware to test. I wrote her back with some more info and then she wrote me that a tech named Issac would contact me. This never happend so I wrote Susan again. Now we start all over and she asks the same info I've gave her once.
When the Facebook page still existed (before MeLE deleted it due to complaints from customers) MeLE promissed most of July that a new firmware would be out before August. That never happend. The last we heard from MeLE was that they got a new codebase from Allwinner with the new SDK and that a firmware would be out in (I think) 4 weeks. Personally I doubt that will happen but time will show.
I also tried contacting DealExtreme where I bought this %#&!# box with the problems. They wrote me back that I should take some pictures of the problems and send them to them - how do you take pictures of random freezes and random resets? I guess I'm stuck with this box and just have to be sad that I lost the money. Too bad - and never buy from MeLE again.
I just ordered a different box which seems to have a new upcoming community and some very skilled people making custom ROMS for it, it can't be worse than the MeLE box

Sorry for my lack of English. I'm not English-speaking, as you might guess from my "build of text". I never said that MeLE produces 100% defective devices. But I have no doubt that MeLE does not control the quality of the output! Otherwise the device I would have bought could not pass QC. A1000G does not have adequate cooling. Overheating of the AllWinner A31 chip reached 95C! Compound near the processor darkened by the action of overheating!

Amazon Music HD

This seems like something that should go in accessories, but Amazon just introduced a lossless streaming level, and they have a 90 day free trial on it. I'm giving it a shot! Seems like it might be made for those of us with a nice Quad-DAC phone

For those of you who try this, I'll be interested to hear if you can get anything higher than 48KHz from Amazon music HD. From reddit reports (here) and Amazon's own FAQ (here) I get the impression that they are limiting Android devices to 48KHz.
If they are indeed able to stream in full 192KHz -- or if UAPP finds a way to support it (here) then it seems a welcome competitor to Tidal and Qobuz.

For those of you who try this, I'll be interested to hear if you can get anything higher than 48KHz from Amazon music HD. From reddit reports (here) and Amazon's own FAQ (here) I get the impression that they are limiting Android devices to 48KHz.
If they are indeed able to stream in full 192KHz -- or if UAPP finds a way to support it (here) then it seems a welcome competitor to Tidal and Qobuz.

Curious as to how to tell if it's 192, if I try Amazon's ****. Thanks.

The reddit link I posted contained a screenshot that displays Track Quality vs Device Capability vs Currently play at. I assume that's the Amazon app.
In any case would I also check the audio_flinger dump, as described at the bottom of this UAPP support page -- it applies to any audio player, not just to UAPP.
I am swamped right now, no time to test Amazon Music. I'll be signing up for their trial when I have more time, but probably not for a few more months.
I would recommend Tidal Master Plan if You have the 20 Bucks per Month. Amazon Music doesn't looks like a real alternative on Android thanks to the Limitations of their App...

Best 10" tablet for long time support ?

Hi
I post here to ask an advice.
I use a Sony Tablet S which works well but is totally obsolete (android 4.1 ...) and didn't find any custom ROM for this model.
So it need to be replaced and I would like to buy a good 10" tablet which I could maintain a long time.
I'll use it for browsing, watching Video, playing emulators and games occasionnaly
Could you please give me some ideas for a good quality tablet with a large Devs community ?
Thank you !
