I recently got the mk908ii, so far it's been working out great. Very fast. Wi-Fi is very strong, but the antenna seems kind of fragile(accidentally turned it wrong way and heard a crack). Does anyone have recommendations for any new apps I can use?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
I have had a mk808b for about a week now, these are my must have apps:
-full!screen: for hiding the navigation bar that was there even on "fullscreen" movie playback. I set a pie control for my right upper display corner that now totally replaces the navigation bar. This is actually the most usefull app i found.
-External Keyboard Helper: for starting apps directly with the push of a button on my wireless keyboard (Measy RC12)
-Screen Adjuster: In case you don't want to change the brightness/color settings of your tv
-XBMC (v 13 gotham alpha 1 works quite well for me, if you can live without hardware decoding, the stable v 12.2 (frodo) build would propably be better) + Plugins (1channel, icefilms etc...)
-MX Player: probably better playback of HD content than XBMC

No need to go stable. All nightlies now have libsf support. I can suggest a specific build if necessary.

What build are you using? I tried so many different ones. The first 6 alphas with hwaccel and 2 nightlys from last week, but alpha 1 was the only one where youtube worked. All others showed a network connection error. I just finished downloading the alpha 7 from yesterday. I am going to test it now...

Don't use any of the specific alpha builds, because now ALL nightlies have libsf! I would first try the latest nightly and go from there!
I find that ALL of the XAF builds fail on my MK908. So I gave up on that thread.
Hmm, my MK908 isn't actually plugged in right now and I have to go do some work. But just try the LATEST android nightly build and if that doesn't work ask again and I'll hook up and tell you which build I'm actually using.

OK, I just hooked up my MK908... still waiting for my tronsmart airmouse from geekbuying so I haven't been messing with it recently
WTF, why isn't full!screen working? XBMC isn't starting fullscreen for no apparent reason. And I am getting errors I've never seen before from XBMC about "Failed to start commoncache"
Looks like my MK908 has developed some kind of problem while I wasn't using it. That's a real mark of quality hardware.
I don't think I will ever buy another android stick PC at this rate. So far I have tried two rikos and one tronsmart and they are all crap. It's too bad nobody mades any Android PC which is not crap. I guess there's some that are kind of OK but they are more expensive than an AMD nettop! WTF. This is why my MK908 wasn't even plugged in. I sure hope Pi****u supports this chip soon.
edit: that's PIC UNT U. Word filters are for children.
Well, I'm not going to be able to give you any useful information, you probably already know that Google is unresponsive to bugs and that XBMC doesn't run very well on Android. I guess I will have to re-flash my MK908. Maybe I'll try just restoring a backup.
What garbage.

That's exactly the porblem i have with all XBMC builds after Alpha 1 (besides the non-functional youtube addon, but i guess thats related because youtube needs the commoncache plugin). But all other plugins work fine, so its not that bad .
If you decide to reflash let me know if it resolves the issue for you.

Has anyone got any games running on the Psx4Droid? I can't seem to get it working. It freezes on me when i load the game.
I tried 2 games, cat with a hat. (Small download size just to check)
Chrono cross.
Beware you cant load games while the play has a memorycard connection to your pc. Found that out the hard way.
Jea, can confirm. Spyro the Dragon don´t work, DOA, FiFa and so on. Hangs on start and crash after some time.
*Edit*
Tested the 3.0.1 - still don´t work. Testet another BIOS file - still don´t work.
Try yourself:

I think it's an issue with Android >2.2, as his blog also mentions problems with the Xoom and Nexus S devices. He's working on it, so I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.

Hi guys, i just got my transformer and I love it but I have a little problem, HD videos in youtube app stutters!! t is not a connection problem, on my computer they play perfect, and anyway I let it load it the whole video to avoid connection problems.
The video still stutters, sometimes it plays full framerate, but the second after it is jerky!!
Anyone have the same problem?
Should I return it?
MP4 720p in video player just play fine...
PS: I also noticed i have some LCD backlight bleed problem... awwww man...
If hd flash is important it might not be the best solution.
Could wait and hope for a fix, but the tablet market is moving fast, always a risk companies will move on to the next gen product.
So far Tegra 2 + honeycomb seems not ideal, after all the hype?

No yputube app does not use flash, in fact i uninstalled FlashPlayer from tablet to be sure of that.
I have the same issue. Coming from a Xoom I noticed it almost immediately. If there is stock soon, I will go to the store and have it replaced. Otherwise I might just return it. There are things I can deal with, stuttering video is not one of them.
Better to wait for Tegra 3 devices in August ?
http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/...e-tegra-3-chip-in-tablets-by-august-20110216/
Or 4 more months after that, until 2012 and get something better! or keep waiting until 2014 and get the best one in their roadmap!

Actually once it can do 1080p high profile, I could care less what is coming out since it would be the complete package. A Tegra 3 device seems like it could be the one. Definitely selling my Transformer and getting a Tegra 3 tablet when it comes out.
I think the problem is related to the youtube app, i had a trip to a local store with an Iconia A500 and played with it a bit. It had the same problem, i doubt a replacement would do the trick. i suppose an OTA update with a revised version of the youtube app or some tweak should be enough.

If thats the case then I don't mind at all, but it's something that I'd like to know *officially*. It's not something that has to be fixed immediately, but I'd like to know that the issue lies with the app and not my hardware.
Edit: But, at the same time, I didn't think many other people were having the same issue.. ?
stuttering playback was an initially known issue with honeycomb. Like someone else mentioned though, the firmware seemed to resolve that issue. Might want to make sure you have the latest and greatest version.

ya mines the US version of the 20110423.. first thing I checked.
It just crummy because my buddy loved my Xoom, especially the Youtube app (hes got a relatively large presence on youtube) and when he went to watch one of his videos (G20 Battle of Toronto) it was stuttering. It's like it will be smooth for a few seconds then get choppy . The audio never skips a beat though.
Just noticed a flash update on the market. Don't know if it'll help you or not. Looks like its now out of beta or something. I didnt really read it all before i installed it. Version 10.2.156.12.
Edit: Bah the irony. Now I'm getting the stuttery video. I wasnt before.

Can anyone who lives in Canada tell me if they can get streaming on their Transformer?
I get this little popup:
This device cannot instantly stream from Netflix in your area. Visit ca.netflix.com/NRD to see a full list of devices that instantly stream from Netflix.
Weird thing is I see people using Netflix all over Calgary.
Edit: Nevermind
To get netflix working do this:
1) Make sure you are updated to 8.6.5.9
2) Make sure you download the latest netflix package here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/07...st-phones-too/
3) Install netflix from the apk BUT DO NOT LOGIN YET (If you have already please clear the applications data.)
5) Sign up here: http://www.vpnreactor.com
6) Go on your tansformer and setup the VPN in wireless and network settings. (Pretty straightforward username password and url.)
7) Connect to the VPN
8) Login to Netflix
9) Pick any video and let it play for 15 seconds
10) Disconnect VPN
11) Reboot yout Transformer
12) Use Netflix without VPN

Didnt get to test it too much, but the one difference for me was the red Netflix startup logo.
Before, it was stretched and looked a little "chunky" (almost as if in safe mode)
Now, the "Netflix" Letters are smaller and sharper.
Ill have to try other videos, but was streaming Prison Break episode and fast forwarded/rewinded, and the buffering time was quick.
Before, it seemed to take longer.

Its an tablet/gaming console for 110$ that has amazing specs and actual hardware gaming controlls, dual cameras and all of that android goodiness !
Sure its a chinese ripoff with design taken from the PS Vita and name taken from the XBox360
What do you guys think? I mean it's an android device with great specs for the prize and is made for portable gaming! I'm seriously considering skipping the nexus 7 and buying this instead (want the nexus 7 just because its a nexus device )

Took the plunge. Just ordered. I'll let you know once it arrives.
sweet! be sure to report back on such as build quality and how well it went when ordering from aliexpress, when i bought something from there once it took about 2 weeks to get it :/
I ordered one as well, the ordering process was easy and they have really quick customer service. Now I just gotta wait for it to show up lol
I ordered mine from Willgoo and I highly recommend them. Excellent customer service and delivered to my door in 4 business days. As for the actual device, initial impressions aren't great. This video review from qbertaddict1 just about sums it up. However I'm still quietly confident that with a bit of work, this can be a great device. Working on figuring out whether the control issue is software, hardware or a combination of both. This things been on my desk in a million pieces all day. More to come...

I just received mine today (from http://www.wholesaleonepiece.com/dr...lwinner-a10-android-40-ics-8g-hdmi_p4536.html, shipped from China via DHL). this is actually kind of cool. Definitely KiRF - it even came preloaded with a number of ROMs for each of the emulators, which is cool. Also came with come pictures of some random Chinese guy who must have been testing the camera for QC purposes (front and rear cameras both work great). Emulators run pretty well.
are the reviews true that this is worthless for playing games because the controls don't work correctly?
Here's a 4-part review of the system by Wololo: http://wololo.net/2012/08/07/droid-x360-review/
I just got mine this morning. The controls seem to be working fine for me. The analog sticks are a bit stiff but its not that bad. Other than that there is nothing wrong with it.
My SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDXC card works like a champ in my Droid X360. Video playback performance is surprisingly good, as are the stereo speakers. Some of my ABXY buttons rotated(!) after a lot of use, but it was fairly easy to tear it apart and fix.
I read the review by wololo and it seems to be a decent device and an exellent product for being a chinese knockoff and i bet that if more ppl start buying these, we'll see that a talented dev fixes most of the issues, as most of em were software related, atleast I got that impression from wololo

Rest assured, a very untalented developer (myself lol) is on the case. I've been developing a script (eventually will be a rom) specifically for this device. Check out the video review here:

Anyone who's interested, the script currently lives here:

Just got mine and after spending a few days with the device i gotta say i do like it alot. its replaced my psp (selling) as my portable emulator machine but its definitely got its quirks. Some Emus i kept and some i replaced with market versions. HDMI works awesome! it won't recognize my wired 360 controller using the OTG cable adapter though. if we had a clockworkmod and could flash CM9 i think it would be a pretty solid device. Since they already have CM9 out for the Allwinner A10 CPUs would there be alot more work in porting it over to the DX360???
Crucible, is there anyway to backup my current rom setup now with livesuite?
I know you said (and i saw in the video) your DX360 runs perfectly at 1200mhz (600min), mine almost instantly reboots at anything over 1157mhz(600min), i've tried setCPU and no frills CPU. i've tried different governors and no dice. oh well no use crying over 53mhz just thought i'd let you know.
i obviously have zero developer skills but um i'm down to do whatever i can to help.

Unfortunatly, there is currently no way to use CWM on this device due to the fact that the physical controls are not mapped directly to use the menus within CWM. Yes there has been a lot of work done to port CM9 to Allwinner 10 however I would need to create a custom rom to flash with livesuit rather than the standard method of installing via CWM (for the reason stated above). It's something I plan to look into at some stage.

Best thing you could do then is try out my script and report back with any bugs. However be aware that you will need to wipe and restore your device as part of the process.
Hi Crucible,
thank you for your efforts!
I'm using your mod and found a strange thing.
In some games that use the accelerometer in landscape mode (Asfalt 5, Labirinth ) the axes are switched so that up is left, right is down and so on.
Before the superscript Asfalt was playing correctly if I remember well so I think there is something to be set to adjust the accelerometer.
Do you know how to fix this?

I have tried re-flashing, it flash correctly but once done it reboot on the same screen with the little green Android robot forever

I have never used no frills cpu, but I would assume it works the same as setcpu in that it doesn't modify hardware, therefore after a hard reset or firmware flash, the device should revert back to normal. Are you sure you flashed firmware correctly?
I'm running stock Android 4.1.2 on an international version GT-P6800 (purchased in Thailand).
I've been subscribed to a magazine for months now. But with today's replacement (Play Magazines => Play Newsstand), the Google Play Newsstand app crashes immediately on launch. Same story for the updated version of Google Now (released over the past week).
Due to increased sluggishness of my tablet, I decided to backup data and do a factory reset. So all these problems are occurring on a "fresh" OS install. (So no significant app caches, etc.)
Newsstand and Google Now/Search are both working fine on my ASUS tablet, so these problems are definitely specific to this hardware/OS version.
Is anyone else having either or both problems? Ideas?
P.S. This is really making me more inclined to finally root my tablet and install the most stable custom ROM available.
Just tried Newsstand an I too am having issues, also been having issues with Google Now . I started a thread regarding that issue as well. Really getting frustrated

The problem is almost certainly caused by Samsung modifications to Jelly Bean. My other Android devices don't have any such problems.
I posted a message about my solution in another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529929
Finally found easy fix!
Uninstall the update & revert back to factory app. Stupid updates just screw everything up! It was ridiculous!
What I don't understand is that my wife's Note I I was able to update both apps with no issues, her phone is running JB 4.1.2

Were is the widget? This seems to be a flipboard take over so google needs widget.
I know I'm not the only one with this issue, anybody have an any ideas as to why Google search no longer works, even after new updates. On My wife's Note II she gets all the updates with no issue, she is also running 4.1.2. This is really pissing me off.

It's been about 4 updates since problem started, I don't think Google is aware of it otherwise it would have been solved

The power to solve the problem is available. But you'd rather complain.

The problem is almost certainly Samsung 's work in modifying Android for our tablet model. There are no widespread complaints for other Android devices. And as I said when you started this thread: once I rooted the tablet and flashed Cyanogenmod, the problem became a far-off memory. That's the beauty of the Android community. My tablet can do more things now. And I don't have to think about whether Samsung cares about me.
What did I learn?That if I wanted a 7"tablet today, I would get the Nexus 7. I got a Nexus 4 phone when Google dropped the price. I rooted it in 15 minutes. And Kit Kat is available for it already.

How can you recommend using Cyonogen when all of these issues are present?
1. Inherent from CM10.1
- Wifi-tethering, hdmi, Incall screen landscape, etc.
2. Bluetooh not working
- Need to see if the mojo in cm10.1 works here. (Lots of works...)
3. Camera not working yet
- Both camera can preview, Autio focus is OK for back camera. Can't save the photo...
(Seems bugs in framework_av cause it)
4. The default orientation of lockscreen is lanscape.
- not respond to rotation lock. Workaround: set only one angle in settings and enable rotation.
5. Screen rotation or rapid refresh cause transient noices. (Seems the new opengl issue, will try the new r3p2 mali driver later)
Unless you have a different version where everything works as it should.
Don't get mad, just pointing out the flaws of your suggestion.
Also my wife's Note II does not have this issue so I don't think it is a Samsung issue, then again I might be wrong.

First off, I want you to know I am not angry; I am just realistic. Samsung released the GT-P6800 as part of their typical tactic: they offered tablets in every possible size:
7", 7.7 with AMOLED, 8.9, 10.1.
Then they waited to see what the market wanted. Our model's AMOLED display was an expensive (but excellent) component. When the smoke cleared, Samsung followed the market's signal. They never released a follow-up and decided on the Note series as a better product family. We are never going to get Samsung's attention. Between your experience, your wife's and mine, we know that the crashing apps only happen on the 7.7. So there is a combination of Samsung OS and hardware that causes the problem. For the reasons I just cited, Samsung IS NOT GOING TO OFFER FIXES OR PATCHES.
You've done a great job listing possible reasons why someone would not do what I did. (To root and flash a new ROM.)
So let me respond directly to your points.

It's because of my priorities: I care deeply about reading on my tablet. That includes my subscription to The New Yorker magazine (via Newsstand) and PressReader for a variety of global newspapers. If I can't read what I want, I have to find a solution. You complained about Newsstand, so I told you how to get Newsstand working.
Another fringe benefit: I can get rid of the crap Samsung put in the firmware: Social Hub, Readers Hub, widgets, old PressReader, old Pulse, etc.

I can confirm this does not work. If Samsung would release their WiFi drivers to the development community this problem could be fixed. (If Samsung is too busy with more profitable products, they should let the customers fix the problem, no?)

I have not tested these things.
HDMI
A direct physical HDMI connection is a pretty clumsy way of communicating with a TV. I'd rather use XBMC, DLNA, or one of the streaming boxes and "cast" the content to the TV across my network. Who needs to run a cable across the living room or bedroom between TV and tablet?

I did not spend a lot of time testing this. But I was able to save pictures from the back camera. I did not test the front camera. A quick test of Skype was not successful connecting even though wifi is working.

I am not having this problem. I don't remember if this happened on my tablet after flashing CM. But now I am using Xposed framework + App Settings. So almost everything can be forced to auto-rotate.

I am not experiencing any unusual noises. I've never built a ROM so I have no idea about the underlying drivers.

Unfortunately if Samsung won't release all the drivers to the development community, it's unlikely that there will ever be a fully functional alternative ROM for the GT-P6800.

I think you listed the issues of CM 11 , and he's using CM 10.X
By the way I got same problem after updating those two apps. So I just uninstalled updates.
I'm still giving the stock ROM some time , as I own this tablet from only 2 months..but I think I'm gonna move to Cyanogenmod in time, its not only Samsung thing, all stock Roms from all brands I've tested get laggy after few months..:| , even with pure android on nexues 7 , this thing I've never seen with Apple tho they still power their flagship devices with Dual Core, and 1 GB Ram.!

Don't fill up the whole of your internal sdcard and fstrim (JB only) your partitions once a week or on boot. Also, improve android LMK & min frees with V6SuperCharger, or CrossBreeder etc. This may help, but involves some reading on your part.
Apple don't fill their device with as many useful features (or bloatware), which would require greater hardware capacity. There's no comparison.

I tried and tested http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535734 latest Cyonoge romantic version and boy or boy was it buggy, issues with screen rotation (known factor) and bluetooth not working (known issue, and I really used this feature) so decided to go back to 4.1.2 stock and just get used to not having latest version of Google Now. At least I know I have a fully functioning rom and tab. I guess no more need to complain.
