Just ordered one....Not alot of support as of now..
Any wifi or bluetooth problems?
Looks like the ROMs are inter changable?
Looks like a nice stick with a ok price...not a quad core tho..
Is the stock software good, or must to upgrade to the 1.7?
Sounds like it was a real bad idea to buy this stick? bummer....

Nope they are an awesome device - personally the latest firmware from Rikomagic is stable but I much prefer the custom roms over at Freaktab forums - check out the rom by neomode
I have used maybe 3 other ROM's and this blows the rest out of the water - personal preference though....
Just got one myself. Great device. Hours of fun to be had. For the price you cannot go wrong.

How is Wifi and BT strength on this device?
I am looking to upgrade my UG007 to this one.
Wifi should work within a regular sized domestic room.
Just got mine, and it's definitely fun. I am trying to hack it into an ultra portable device just for kicks.

The link is stil working for me it's takes you to a ftp server.
I tried 4.2.2 it's fast and nice but it has compatibility problems with some of the games so i had to go back to latest offical 4.1.1
Ah. What games in particular I haven't had issues yet but only tested a few 3d games so far. I like how you can force msaa on 4.2.2 crisp graphics iirc no performance loss with mali400 gfx

Hi,
Haven't tested bluetooth, but I can tell I don't see serious wifi problems. I left my MK802IIIS up for 1+ day and connection remains stable. However, ping times tend to be too high, considering that the device is 1 meter away from the WirelessN router.
On short, keep it near the wifi router and it should be OK.
Yep, there are many ROMs, I read that Finless ROMs would be cool. There are also Linux distros compiled for this stick, though there are some problems(eg wifi don't work). For more Linux infos google for "Pic Untu", "Linux on mk0802iiis" and "Ubuntu on mk802iiis".
One thing I noticed: after a couple of hours of continous desktop usage (installing from Google PlayStore, browsing, surfing through all Settings, and so on), the device tends to become very warm (almost hot). However, I haven't witnessed (yet) any device stability problems connected with its temperature.

I decided to grab this today, seeing a few comments about some Nexus S users saying it works fine. It's only $5, so what have I got to lose.
It seems to crash after the title screen, phones goes all black screen and stops. Anyone else have any luck? I'm running CM7.1 with the Trinity 1.44GHz kernel. I'm going to try different rom and kernels this evening.
I'm interested in this too. We may have to use chainfire 3d?
How do you buy it if your device is incompatible?

I sent an email to Rockstargames NY explaining the situation with FC on the Nexus S. I will let you guys know as soon as I receive a response. I would imagine it would be hard to optimise applications for every different hardware/software combination but I am pretty disappointed in RS that they didn't think to test on the NS considering it's a dev phone.
Like someone previously stated, at the time of my download there is no mention of compatibility with any specific handset so I assumed it would work. I'd say this will be fixed soon, so I won't be after a refund (happy to wait!) but hopefully they respond quickly.
Real nice on my atrix, got it working with sixaxis but the controls arent mapped so will have to work it out by trial and error. Get in/out of car is F and the analogue sticks work out of the box, hopefully someone will work it out and post a list
I bought it this morning and it runs great. I'm on a Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 running galaxy task v8 and pershoots kernel oc'd to 1.4GHz. It has occasional lag but its lag that existed on the ps2. Overall I'm happy and it was £3 well spent.

Was just saying to myself the other day how my ns could last be with me for years to come. But being able to play this game would easily make it worth upgrading. Anyone know how the hardware compares to ps2? I would imagine it to be about the same or a little better...

As long as you are using a non-Samsung ROM/kernel, the wiimote should pair just fine. You will have to download an IME app for it from the market though. I can't remember what the app was that I used. Search for wiimote and that should get you what you need.

Last I checked it lacks Hardware acceleration though so beware. If you are to try to play any video that is 480p or higher it probably won't play.
For example if you try to show the videos you just took with your phone in the big screen (like I had tried) it won't work, so you can say it's a bit crippled version of TV-out. If you want true TV-out you have to try Froyo derived roms ... sadly.

The AMID-971R has been replaced by the twin core AMID-972XS. There are a few software tweaks in addition to the hardware upgrade. The wireless signal pickup appears to have been resolved. The new device has so far exhibited excellent wireless coverage so far. A few bugs still to be ironed out (as with any device I suppose), but the biggest "Bug", its unreliability, appears to have been nailed.

Your attachment does not work
I haven't used his root method yet, the other one works for me though. It rooted both our 971r and 972xs tabs. Updating the OS afterwards damages the root so you should update first. Root works fine done afterwards.
Should I just post a link here to the Bauhn tablet forum? Seems the Bauhn tablet is not considered a device of interest on here .
Over there, I have posted about the updating and also recovery. A custom ROM would be very easy to install. I'm not a programmer so don't know how to do a custom ROM.
Yes, maybe a link would stir up interest?
ok, I'd like to revive this thread and I've got two of these babies and now that I've got a taste for v4.1.2 I would LOVE for these tablets to get a custom rom to go in that direction.
some info I've found searching around for similar models:
Smartpad 962i
I've searched around but it seems to reside in italian forums. As for the current australia official ROM support, well their update link is dead so I'm assuming they want to drop the product in favor of the new 3g quad core tabs available at aldi.
anyhow, hope someone could shed some light on these models so all the owners can keep track of it in this thread.

I have been seeing these UA's popping up quite a bit over the last few days, especially at the bench marking sites.

Looks like Android 4.2.2 build JDP66 is out there & likely will be hitting Nexus 10 devices shortly as it is already rolling out to a few Nexus 4 users.
Anyone else seen anything on this version? Any leaked change logs?

I'm not entirely sure who is to blame actually. Given that the mdnie code is missing from the kernel, it's entirely possible that the proprietary blobs from Samsung are in a way "pre-calibrated" when sent to Google.
Now of course, you could also make the argument someone at Google should have said "hey this doesn't look right", but then you're just playing the blame game lol.

I would say it's more than rumor. While the video itself may be from some lonely attention seeking geek, the UA's showing up in multiple counties via numerous server logs, not just BM sites either, I'd say there is most definitely a 4.2.2 update on its way. I would not have even posted anything in the first place if I hadn't been able to find it in the logs of numerous servers.
Not to mention, it would be pretty dramatic & a bit too thurough for your typical hoaxster, as I was able to find it for several Nexus devices.
Currently there are many things that are bugging the heck out of me, including keyboard issues, screen calibration, & the processor which cannot be optimized as it lags much more than my Note 10.1 with its Exynos 4412. There are times that the Nexus 10 is almost flung across the room by me, so frustrating.
I hope it is going to solve reboot issue as well......

Don't get your hopes up, I don't think they'll ever change the screen calibration and Chrome's issues are not going to be fixed in a ROM update. Chrome's issues will be fixed in the new few months.

what screen and chrome issues are you experiencing?
Most likely he's experiencing he affects of a poor factory calibration. Washed out color with poor gamma tracking (boosted shadow detail) . Overly warm color temperature (red tinted whites) , and extremely poor color accuracy (muddy and inaccurate colors.

Pardon my ignorance (and being too lazy to search for the answer ).
BLE is Bluetooth Low Energy, right? So, in practice, what benefit will that give? Is it just something to help decrease battery usage? Does BT really use that much battery, when, say for example, you're using it to stream music to your car's stereo or something?

Right. So, if you leave your phone connected to a smart watch or a BT headset all day, how much faster does it use the battery? Past experience makes me think keeping a BT connection alive - and even using it for something persistent like streaming music - doesn't really burn THAT much juice. So, what I'm really wondering is how much BLE is really going to help?
e.g. let's say I have my phone streaming music from the local SD card all day. If I use a cord from the headphone jack to the receiver, let's say the phone will run for 10 hours on a charge. If I do the same thing except have it stream over regular BT to the receiver, it seems like (from my experience, it would probably last at least 9 hours - maybe longer. So, if it was using BLE instead of regular BT, how long would it last?
My normal usage for this is having my phone hooked up to a BT intercom mounted on my helmet, when I'm riding my motorcycle, and listening to music while I'm riding. I haven't gone on a long ride since I got my S4, but with my old Rezound, my phone would go just about all day on a charge, while streaming music from my SD over BT pretty much the whole time. Which is to say, it lasted almost as long while streaming over BT as it did if it was not playing music at all. That makes me think that current BT doesn't consume very much power.
So, like I said, it makes me wonder how much real world benefit will actually come from BLE.
Will be keeping an eye out for this...

Intresting, I have also read that it is for S4 Google edition. But I have also heard that not many changes are made in it ....

The Google edition and play edition are the same thing, you get it from the play store so some people call it the play edition. Yeah there really isn't much of a difference which is disappointing. I hope that they are going to somehow add or enable more features when they officially announce 4.3

It actually has less features if you count all the touchwiz stuff.
cant wait....
Port...
It's already been ported to the I9505. I don't think a port to our SCH-i545 would be very difficult (although I'm not a developer).

I tried my hand and couldnt get it to boot. I know others who have it booting but are stuck with no data. I think there are either new hardware libs required or perhaps a new radio.
Either way it will be some work to get it running.
