Hi,
I really intersting in android tv box, and I found many types with its own features but unfortunately, there is no one had all these features.
The best one I found till now is ug007 and imito mx1&2 ( the MINIX NEO X5 is large) but all of them dont have built in camera and mic, and I know that there is other tv boxes have these 2 features but they lack powerful CPU and Bluetooth hardware.
So, I want to aske if there is an application can be installed on my android phone to use it as a webcam and mic for that android based TV Box (for skype and other chatting programs)? And if not, please can any one make it?
Yes, I know that there are ones like this application in google play market, but as I thought they are for Windows PC! Correct me if I am wrong.
And yes I also know that I can use external webcam, but actually I dont want to buy multiple one to test which is worke and not.
Thank you, but really it will be great to make a video call while you lying down on the bed in front of your tv

Hello I just ordered the minix neo x5. After my gbox midnight arrived (terrible box!) I plugged my 14 dollar Web Cam and mic I got from a local radioshack worked just fine. So i think its just trial and error. Look for a cam/mic set that is compatible with linux that will 90 percent of the time work.

The Minix X5 needs its ow forum. How do you system update it to 4.1.1, How do you get rid of the onscreen virtual keyboard etc...?
I'm waiting delivery of my Minix Neo X5 to see how it goes.
In the meantime I've dome some reading and found some info..
I haven't tested any of these apps yet though.
Null Keyboard app will get rid of the onscreen keyboard.
TV Box Launcher will help organize the screen into a more TV Box compatible view
And the link below "should" have some info on upgrading.
http://minixforums.com/
Got everything done. The 4.1.1 update made vast performance improvements. I'm going to search for null now. Thank you for your reply.

Hi, I am having issues with bluetooth music streaming with this phone. I have a Tunelink dongle in my car which works perfectly fine with my GS2. However with OG I get very noticeable background noise and music skips every 15-20 seconds which is the worst part. I have not tested this with another BT device yet, but was wondering if anyone had a similar issue?
I'm getting this same issue with my tunelink. I have the Sprint variant..
Could it be that tunelink isn't working properly? Have you tried any other bluetooth devices?
Mine works perfectly streaming into my car's factory audio system with bluetooth.....

Since the OP's problem is the same, since he has tunelink.. It might because of the receiver. Has anyone else tested this phone's bluetooth with another receiver? belkin's?

Same here. Works better than my old GS2 with my Clarion deck. It also works great with my wife's Bose Soundlink speaker.
I am pretty sure its a compatibility issue with tunelink. I got myself a gogroove smartmini and it works great. Tunelink works fine with my gs2 and wife's HTC, though.

What version of Bluetooth does Tunelink use? Maybe it's an older version (like 1.0) that the OG doesn't support.
I just got a email back from TuneLink
Hi Josh
Unfortunately we don't have an Optimus G to test with. I looked up the specs and it says that it runs Android version 4.0.4 with a planned upgrade to 4.1.2. What I know is that we did experience difficulties with Bluetooth on early versions of the Android 4.0 series but for the most part, they appeared to be fixed with 4.0.4 but I can't say that that's true for all Android devices as the Bluetooth hardware differs from device to device. The one thing they all have in common is that all Android Bluetooth drivers need to be able to integrate with the BlueZ Bluetooth protocol stack of the kernel. That said, if the audio is skipping, maybe try closing all unused apps to free up resources and see if that makes a difference. If you're streaming over the internet, try playing music locally. If possible try it with another A2DP Bluetooth device. I will put the word out around here and see if we can get an Optimus G to test as well. I would also send an email to LG's support and ask them if they have any known issues with A2DP. Note that if your TuneLink has firmware version 1.2.0 or greater then it supports Bluetooth version 4.0 minus the low power option. Prior versions support Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR. Also we only support the SBC codec.
Thanks

I just installed a Pioneer Car Stereo with Parrot bluetooth and I noticed noise, pops, hisses and complete music skips with an AT&T LG OG but streaming from a Nokia Lumia 920 to the same radio was fine and dandy. I think the issue is the phone.
My stereo Bluetooth earphones of two years is giving up with a charge not lasting as it use to. So naturally I was keeping my eye out for something with more features but nothing that I'd cry about.
The Sony Bluetooth sets have some extra features other than there's usual remote control buttons like text display, an ear speaker but cost more than US$100.
Enter a local Philippine brand, Cherry Mobile which offers a small sized basic phone called P1 that bluetooth pairs with your better Android device to remote access your calls, SMS, audio media, and itself is a basic phone with its own SIM card. It retails for only Php 799 (US $18.16).
It works with the Galaxy Note 3 on Jellybeans 4.3 without the need to install extra software. It uses the Message Access Profile or MAP usually used for current car radios for calls and SMS for your smartphone.
Key features:
*A smartphone remote dialer
Smartphone SMS viewer (Bluetooth Message Access Profile (MAP) needed)
*Single regular SIM card
*Dual band GSM 900/1800 Mhz
*1.77 " LCD @ 176 X 220 pixels
*VGA camera
*FM Radio
*Music Player
*Bluetooth 3.0
*Built-in battery
*Micro SD slot up to 4GB only
*Available in 4 colors - white, light blue, orange and red
*54 x 89 x 10 mm (with buttons slightly protruding)
*No specs on battery or weight
Pros
*Acts as a secondary phone and remotes your Android device for answering and making calls and SMS
*Decoy device where you shouldn't be flashing your more expensive or larger Android device
*Acts as bluetooth audio for your main device
*Compact and light
Cons
*No thrills plastic build with 1990s inexpensive cellphone design (but that maybe a good thing)
*Basic dumbphone with all low end features with no wifi access or Internet capabilities, or social networks and email notifications
*No 3.5mm earphone jack, and only takes micro USB earphones which is NOT provided
*Sound only comes from the ear speaker and is low quality
*Built-in battery with no user replacement
Okay, the P1 doesn't aim to give any visible first good impression. It looks cheaper than any of the current low end basic Nokia phone. The P1's choices of colors of light blue, cherry red, Vermillion (orange) and white aren't exactly attractive either. I got the less atrocious white. Its buttons are made of hard translucent jelly with strange dotted text styled numbers and small crate numbering styled letters, but they won't be fade away like past generic 2G phone devices of late 1990s.
Don't hold your breath on the VGA camera too. It'd probably be OK for some quick urgent pictures... if you navigate to the camera function quickly enough. You'll need to place a micro SD card for this to work.
The P1 doesn't have a regular 3.5mm jack for audio. It only has a micro USB for you to plug in old earphone or adapters for your usual earphones with this connection socket. The FM radio will not work at all without a wired audio as it uses the wire as an antenna. Don't expect stellar audio quality as your main Android device.
Conclusion
It's as tiny as my extra battery case. for my Note 3. The unspecified battery seems to be decent enough to last the entire day connected. The P1 is unapologetically unattractive, but it's a perfect compliment to the Note 3.
Well, you'll get the FM radio receiver missing in the Note 3, and it's functions surpass that of any Bluetooth earphones. You can probably put in that 2nd SIM card of a different network for signal differences when you need to make that call.
The remote dialer and sms functions are probably the main features to get the P1 for those less appealing places. This is the first I have heard of of such a device. No guarantees in keeping you from harm, but at least it gives less reasons for anyone to stop you on the lonely streets seeing you using an expensive device. It would be a selling point for other established brands out there to add a MAP feature on their dumbphones. They'd make a killing.

I am still on JB 4.3 and I can remote the SMS functions of the Note 3 using the P1. You can also make and get calls via P1.
Other known brand that works is with LG G2. You can test it when getting.
I tested the P1 with iPhone 5s, and never worked with it. Not a surprise.

I got this from the Philippines. Some China made cellphone, then rebranded for local sale. No other models have this remote dialer and Bluetooth SMS features.
Staggering battery stamina, with continuous 9 hours of actual battery with streaming music from my Note 3.

More like a dumb phone for your smartphone. It's my bluetooth earpiece most of the time when I play media from my Note 3. For what it can do and the fraction of the price of a brand bluetooth earpiece, the P1 is superior.

P1 is not an Android phone. I saw an MAP app at PlayStore but costs more than $10! I didn't bother since the P1 serves is purpose as a inexpensive decoy which will not likely attract much attention.
You wouldn't be also able to listen streaming media or remote the Note 3 like the P1 can. It has replaced my bluetooth stereo earpiece set entirely.

Yup, audio and calls work on the iPhone only. SMS doesn't. I really wouldn't expect much from Cherry Mobile for updates. They can't even update their product site!
P1 just really is simple. Gives longer than Bluetooth earphones can. Texting is a ***** again from before smartphones came out.
How come no one can post a link of where to buy this phone from?

So I picked up a Digital2 963G tablet for relatively cheap to use as a video player for my son on long car trips (http://www.d2pad.info/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=276&Itemid=567).
It works decently for a KitKat tablet with a dual core processor and 1GB of RAM. The only real issue I've had with it is that audio comes sped up when playing the YouTube app through Bluetooth. When you turn Bluetooth off, the audio sounds fine and syncs with the video. I've seen audio lag while using the Youtube app and Bluetooth with my OnePlus One but never had it play the audio at double speed.
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
As an aside, does anyone know who the OEM is for this Digital2 tablet? I doubt Digital2 is selling an original designed tablet so I assume they're just re-selling someone else' design with their own branding. I'm asking because I doubt this tablet will ever get Lollipop but I am curious if anyone is aware of efforts to port it to this hardware.
Bump
Seriously? No one has had this kind of problem before?
Hey,
I was thinking about an Android box thingy and there are many cheap options.
I would like to play around with some emulators (PPSSPP included) with a USB controller I have and watch some anime ^^ I'd also not like to spend in excess of ~$35 (max $45)
Any good cheap boxes that can do that? Preferably that support Lolipop since I love its UI.
I've seen ones with Amlogic S802,812 and 912 CPUs and RK3188 and 3368 CPUs.
Which one is decent? eBay links would be appreciated ^^ Thanks! (OpenGL ES3 support would also be nice.)
RK3188 drives my LighInTheBox mk809iv. It's got 2GB RAM, 8GB EMMC, a full sized USB 2 port, hdmi, microSDXC port, runs KitKat 4.4, comes with Kodi pre-installed. I rooted it with Kingoroot.com, so that I could run a vnc server on it. I remote control it with my phone which running the free Valence app, or sometimes I remote it with Screen Sharing on my Mac. It plays nicely, and I get decent enough Wifi speeds. It's run everything I have thrown at it. A quick search for mk809iv will bring up a whole lot of these devices, even some with 16gb EMMC. Some will arrive pre-rooted, others will not. Look for Realtek Wifi for best compatibility if you intend to flash it (which requires a PC). It is fun to play with, but looking back on the experience, I'd rather have had a small Android phone with MHL/hdmi-output, as it would have been much easier to set up if there was a screen on the device itself. Just a thought. Used Galaxy s3 handsets are getting cheap enough now, with the same functionality. Cheers!

Yep! Any suggestions regarding TV apps, websites with TV shows, forums for TV boxes and input devices? I don't really think the bundled remote would be something I'd wanna use. I've seen wireless small keyboards with trackpads, do you know anything about them?

The forum I use for my Android devices is usually XDA, right here.
I used a USB keyboard and a mouse to set mine up.
For the record, I rooted my MK809 IV, which has an rk3188 SOC running KitKat 4.4, with Kingo Root, to allow me to run a VNC server, because I use a free Android app called Valence on my phone as a wifi trackpad/mouse and use my phone's keyboard to type on the Android TV. Root allows me to use the free RemoDroid app to control my Android TV from my phone or tablets from anywhere in my house.
Kodi comes on mine, and it's a free app in the Play Store anyway. I tried to set it up last April, but it kept crashing. If you are into that sort of thing, it is a very capable media server for sure.
For playing local files, I think MX Player is the champion app.
I ultimately bought a Logitech k700 keyboard with built-in trackpad to use with mine - I purchased it refurbished on a Newegg special for fifteen dollars! I take that keyboard everywhere with me. I love it. I prefer to use an actual mouse, but since I bought the k700, I have not missed mice enough to actually plug one in. I like it because it is nearly full-sized, but still compact, and it comes already set up to use a single USB wireless dongle. Range has been great, and after almost a year I am still on the first set of batteries.
Just today I was looking into purchasing the remote that came with your TV box, so please, let me know if you like it.
I bought a Hubman USB 2.0 hub in case I need more ports. It seemed like a good idea to have it, but I have not actually plugged it into the Android stick yet. I'm sure it will support a mouse, keyboard & usb thumb-drive just fine.
I don't want to go too far off-topic, so if it's okay with you, I'll pm you a list of apps I use for video. Nothing seems to slow down my aging rk3188 quad. Your rk3368 octa-core is going to be fantastic! Would you please post a link to the auction? Even if the auction is closed, I'd love to take a look at the device. The price you paid is unbelieveable!
