MK808 "all models" Finless 1.7

[niabi]

I script it all in Linux. No kitchen.

OK can one of you guys with wifi issues try something for me please.

Take the boot.img from my 1.6 ROM and flash it with 1.7a. Might be something I missed in boot.img.


Bob

I have a dedicated fan (I modified mine) on mine, so it never gets hot.

I noticed that with the stock rom the bogomips see for the both core is about 2000, while the custom rom is recognized in about 1600.
I am using the Finless 1.7 out MK808B (rk903) for about a week, all ok, just a few remarks:
1) When I turn off with icon on the navbar the blue LED remains on (normal?)
2) When I turn on the MK and Wifi connects automatically, the indicator is all gray with arrows inside, the connection is working and I have no speed problems (web, youtube, downloading etc), but if I turn off the 'MK first disabling the Wifi when I turn on the MK and after Wifi then the indicator returns to blue.

For the rest, all right, Antutu (3.1.2) 10000 points, but my friend who bought the MK808B with me has changed thermal paste and doing the test with the MK opened achieves 10,220 gaining 200 points in 3D.
Just close the MK test loses 200 points in 3D.
My friend is using the application Seeders and lag that are browsing the Play Store or by opening the settings are gone.

PS: I found some threads on XDA on tablet with rk3066 rk903 and related sources, for those who are interested can take a look.(Tab Genio with rk903)

Thank you for your work Bob.

Somebody know how to turn off energy save settings (e.g. turn standby off)? i can only take max. 30mins, after that, the box goes in standby and i dont know, how to bring back the system without reboot, have only a bluetooth mouse and moving the mouse makes no difference, box still sleeps...

[Finless]

It is in settings>display>sleep
Never is at the top of the list.

However, someone if you read several posts above, someone installed something that took away the never setting. I do not know what that was and he never explained it. If you do not have never, then somehow you lost the setting. It is there in my ROM.

I have in settings>display>sleep (15sec----->30minutes) I reflash 2 times 1.7 but Always 15s/30m. if i select 15sec = never, 5minutes=3minutes.... etc. Problem is data and time automatic?.. i dont know.

Re: NEW - MK808 "all models" Finless 1.7

Yes i didnt see never in those settings too, tomorrow I will try another fresh install erasing nand from the pc. Mk808b(rk903), I have it to 30 minutes.

[Finless]

Hmmm, interesting. I gaurentee you on first boot of a ROM flash it is there.

I am going to guess now... did you turn off lockscreen or mess with lockscreen settings? Might be something there.

Or did you go into wifi and mess with wifi sleep settings?

Some other setting is causing never to show up! Maybe in fact you have to disable lockscreen?

Trust me... it is there I am looking at it right now!

Other similar RK3066 devices

Does anyone know if the 808B ROM would work on the Timingpower RK3066 Android Mini PC?

This Android stick also has the RK903 chipset, 1.6 GHz RK3066 w/ quad-core MALI400, and 4GB of memory.

I thought I read earlier in this thread (can't find it now), that 1.7 has a greater range of settings.

The reason I ask is version 1.6a (MK808B) didn't seem to offer the option to set a fixed IP address in wifi mode.

Does anyone know if you have to connect the device to HDMI to get it to work?
I am trying to use it as a headless device using one of the VNC apps. To date I have only had the VNC working when I have plugged theMK808B into HDMI TV which is on.

[niabi]

polaying around with system.img I found that 1.6 has this in init.d

#!/system/bin/sh


#sets the wlan0 to 65mbs
iwconfig wlan0 rate 65 fixed
#turns off power management.
iwconfig wlan0 power off

and 1.7 doesn't have this... could this be whats keeping 1.7 from getting good speed?

EDIT: NM it doesn't do any difference

[joe9003]

People says "no"...

Where is the manual?

that does not seem to be the problem, since version 1.6 works perfectly for me, speed is awesome and signal is great, its only on 1.7 (even the 1.7a) version that has problems

What I no is that the moment i upgraded the antenna the mk808 had seamless wifi its definitely worth doing the basic fix or upgrading, some report unsoldering the gnd pad works very well because these mk808's have a sort circuit.
Every one who put one or 2 upgraded antenna report back of no wifi drop out through out the ROMs I didn't read any ones post that has trouble now.

True. I've done the antenna mod on my MK808 and on three MK808Bs. None have shown any wifi speed differences between 1.6, 1.6a, 1.7, and 1.7a ROMs.

Yes I usually put in security option lookscreen in disabled, and in WiFi policy sleep never.
