Hi all, I recently bought the iMito MX1 and I'm having trouble with it freezing all the time. I have read the threads addressing the issue here, however, I have noticed a peculiarity that I didn't see anyone mention before:
When I powered the MX1 through my laptop's usb port, it was stable and didn't freeze at all! But as soon as I connect it through the provided adapter or a custom bought one (also 5V-2000mA) it freezes after about 10-20 minutes max.
I tried:
Basically any variation I could think off. The only thing I didn't try is firmware update/reinstall or rooting but it sounds like a hardware problem so I think that this is moot. I haven't used android before so I'm not at all experienced in this sort of thing, which is why I would like to exhaust all other options.
Nothing seems to make a difference except when it's connected to the laptop usb port. This seems strange to me, as USB 2.0 should only output about 5v-500mA, right? That sounds like it shouldn't be enough juice. But when connected to the laptop usb port it worked fine and without freezes, even with a wireless mouse and keyboard combo connect on the usb slot. What is this devilish trickery?

I tried:
- disabling the wi-fi,
- not connecting any mice or keyboard,
- connecting wireless mouse and keyboard combo,
- connecting only a single usb mouse,
- different power outlets in the house,
- powering it through the DC and through the other microUSB port,
- all the HDMI ports on the TV,
- three different adapters
