Is it the 4.2.2 android OS that has issues? I think I resolved the heat issues with a fan, the heatsink feels cool to the touch, no more random reboots and crashes, but I still get issues with the Android UI, and sometimes I carries over to video playback. No clue... YouTube is also buggy sometimes, but when it's running we'll, I play HD no problem.

Hello, this is my first TV stick, I managed to install this ROM into my QC802, everything works, but the Netflix still have the scrambled image, I downloaded from Play Store and restarted the stick, but I still have the scrambled image. Do I need anything else to make it work?

[neomode]

Yes it should Work without Problems.

I've solved my wifi stability issue changing channel of router from 1 to 9. Now sd movies on samba works very well, hd are a little bit stutter and full hd are very stutter. Very big progress. I've used inSSIDer 3 (windows) for interferences survey.
Now Youtube 720p works perfect, no stuttering, better than movies from external drive (no samba)
Did Somebody knows why I cannot switch to H/W mode in MXplayer free after neotv fw flash?

Thanks

Glad to know you solved the wifi issues, that could've been the cause of the stutter or frameskipping on streaming content, but if you still have the same problems when you play from an external drive, it must be something else. Have you tried to use the 720p 60hz resolution on system screen settings? If so, did you nottice any improvements? Because I'm using a 720p kernel, for me, since it's upscaled, makes no sense using 1080p resolution, even on a full hd tv like I use, performance will be lower and I can't see any difference in image quality.

Let me ask which kind of power supply you use? Often this failure comes from the power supply.

Try to change to a other kind. I have also the Flycast mk809 iii and no problems with it.

I'm using the cable and usb wall plugin that came with the unit. I downclocked the CPU with SetCPU to 1.2 ghz and it seemed better, but still had intermittent USB ethernet issues while streaming 720 using the Plex app. Now I'm down to 1.0 ghz and playin around with it from here.

I couldn't get my MK809III to run wifi stable, switched over to USB ethernet and it still isn't that stable. Any suggestions? I'm new to both mini PC's and Android. I am an IT professional though, so no need to baby me. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, it will look even better when it's finished

"2 fans are better than no fans" - True, (don't get me wrong, I'm telling you this for your own good) unless they're completely unefective, and if the air has no way to go in and out of the device to cool it down, that's exactly what they are...



This was the first cooling mod I made on an android media player, the mk808b comes with holes on both sides of the stock case, I was using a custom rom with a kernel with no overclock at all, and I can tell you that my mod was far from effective, and it was using the otg port of the device itself to power the fans, which is very wrong because the stock power supply that comes with this devices, sometimes, ain't even enough to power the device itself, let alone other hardware we want to plug in.



I never used the kernel that comes with this firmware, I flashed the extreme overclocked kernel and Neo's mk802iv custom rom at the same time, I also use SetCPU and have it set to 1.8 max. 1000 min. interactive governor, for high system performance and benchmarks I set both min. and max. frequency to 1.9 and performance governor. I don't nottice any stutter or frameskipping on hd / full hd content either streaming from the internet or playing from an external drive. I installed MX Player free from the play store and removed the adds with lucky patcher, I nottice that some streaming content has better picture quality (no horizontal cuts) and loads faster using sw instead of hw/hw+ modes. For streaming I use YouTube, WarezTuga (portuguese streaming app with pt subs), MovieX / VideoX (no, it's not porn :P), amo Navi-X, and XBMC sometimes. I have no idea how Netflix runs because I don't know how to use it on Android in my country... I have to figure this out.

Under which circumstances, using what app, playing what (full hd / hd or sd) content, streaming or playing from an external drive, do you nottice the stutter and frameskipping? Send me a link to a streaming video / movie you're having problems with, to see if the same thing happens when I play it with my current setup.

Thanks a lot for your detailed report. It gives me hope for solve the issue.
This is my situation:

-mk802iv
-fw NeoTv CR1.0
-1.2ghz gpu 600mhz ram 1200mhz 720p kernel

I use xbmc xaf version so I use Mxplayer free as default player for xbmc. I watch sd, hd and full hd movies.
Sw and Hw+ are flaggable but when I try to switch Hw mode I see this pop up:



Only some SD movies could be run in HW mode. With original firmware all of movies (sd, hd, full hd) had worked in sw, hw+ and hw mode to.

This is my screen configuration:





With this configuration I have best performance, stuttering is much better:













MXplayer must be set on "Fit On Screen" for best results.

At moment when I play movie form external hd:

sd works well
hd works a little little bit stutter
full hd works a little little bit stutter

When I use samba

sd works well only with vlc player but is impossible go on a determinate minute. I must watch from minute 00:00 always (while xbmc with default player is stutter)
hd and full hd are very very stutter it's impossible to watch them

Streaming with youtube is a little bit stutter on 720p

In your opinion, what can I do to increase percormance?

Bruno really thanks for your time

EDIT:

I've found another issue. My wifi doesn't work stable. Speed test goes from 4.34mbps to 0.72mbps in download. This explane my samba issues. Altough I've done this mod http://www.rikomagic.com/en/news/sho..._28_nid_5.html . Hope I can fix it with ferrite on hdmi cable
