How enable HDMI CEC on RK3288 ????

HDMI CEC was only released on 11/11/14 by Rockchip, will need to use newer firmware or custom ROM.

If the problem was because of that, then you have an 'on-air' connection-problem between the receiver-dongle and the air/fly-mouse...
I fix it using an 'USB extension cord' or at worst case an USB-HUB to have a better (direct) 'on-air' connection between the receiver-dongle and the air/fly-mouse (it could also fix an interference problem with the 2.4GHz WiFi)...

Thank you for the tip.

... You can try to put the remote receiver on the left side usb entry....first mine was put behind...

i just got my r89 today and played around with it stock before flashing to finless 1.2 Before finless, no micro stutters from my tronsmart tsm01 air mouse. After finless, micro stutters all over randomly I thought it was a bad flash and was considering re-flashing.

I have the same configuration, and the same problem. You can try to put the remote receiver on the left side usb entry....first mine was put behind.

And try to install seeder app(by xda).

You will see improvements. Make sure that the remote is fully charged.

Let me know

Skype issues are solved.
XBMC video playback is now perfect with SPMC v13.3.4 beta 1.
Avoid the Kodi ones for know until Kodi Helix Final is released.

Well, then i'm leaning towards this one. But i wonder how the Tronsmart Draco A80 stacks up against this one?

[mo123]

Where is SPMC v13.3.4 beta 1?

Yes, Nagrace HPH RK3288 boxes looks good and seem to have faster Samsung eMMC:
From CNX-SOFT:
"The Samsung eMMC found on the board has very good performance, reading at 55 MB/s, and writing at 18 MB/s "

But there were many other hiccups with XBMC and Skype etc, so not quite ready i assume.

I'm also not sure if this is really a relevant factor but if it's important for you, the HPH NT-V6 pcb seems to have the same results...

1.Skype is working now in our internal Beta 111k4 ROM;

2. eMMC is not the point for video stutters ,you can do the test:Play the same video from eMMC and USB storage, can you tell the difference?

1. Yay

2. I downloaded one of the movies where I had micro-stuttering while streaming and it played fine from my harddisk. So if it's not the emmc then its the wifi drivers or something else streaming related (No, its not my internet as the movies play fine on my K-R42, MiniX, and FireTV).

Still the EMMC Values are not that great compared to other devices. Even the "cheap" Kingnovel RK3288 Devices have faster EMMC (CXS-Software Test). So picking faster/better EMMC shouldn't have a big impact on the costs while it would have been great for the customers...just saying.

Hmm, thank you for lots on insight info really!

Now i've decided not buy this device for now at least. Reasons are:
i've read many reviews of RK3288 based Android boxes and none of them could get Skype working with a webcam!
It's really a showstopper for me, as i'm looking to replace a pc with such a box. Skype video calling is a MUST for me.
Does anyone know about any Android boxes where Skype and hopefully Google Hangout video calling work?
And with a not too bad eMMC nand as well. I read Kingnovel's RK3288 box had the highest I/O for the eMMC according to cnx-software. But again, Skype video calling didn't work on that one neither!

Otherwise i might be forced to go over to Atom based Windows or Linux boxes, maybe Firefly board if that's any better.
But i'd much prefer Android since it's got apps for nearly everything and cool games too .

Great job @gormar & @bloodgnome, most likely that's the cause of micro stutters reported on this box. Is there possibilities of using fast sd cars and use that as tmp dir for browser? @oman, i doubt it, but any chance of using faster emmc on next revision of the board? Who wouldn't pay $10 more to get a pretty good nand. Does Tronsmart rk3288 also have this issue?

tronsmart uses the same nexton board design. plus cxs software testet the meta too and got not so good results... so i think yeah. same mediocre emmc
