I've been looking at these android usb sticks for a while now.

Here's my take on them:

Note: None of these devices have bluetooth built in.

MK802- all around solid allwinner a10 based.

specs: 1ghz A10 SOC, Mali400 single core GPU, 512 or 1gb ram, 4gb flash, wifi b/g/n, mini-usb for power, full size usb and micro-sd.

Can sometimes have issues with heat if driven really hard. Missing ESD protection for HDMI. No power button in hardware or software.

The wifi can be a little weak.

It can boot from micro-sd and has a linux port already.

Antutu score is around 2380.

Plays 1080p no problem.

Price:~$55-~75

There is a new model out called mk802 II that fixes some issues and adds another usb port.

Oval Elephant(uhost)- a better allwinner a10 based stick

specs: 1ghz A10 SOC, Mali400 single core GPU, 1gb ram, 4gb flash, wifi b/g/n, mini-usb for power, full size usb and micro-sd. Also have built in microphone and microphone port.

Better than the MK802 but not as popular. Has ESD HDMI protection and a software power button.

It can also boot from micro-sd and has a linux port.

The wifi can be a little weak.

Antutu score is around 2450.

Plays 1080p no problem.

Price:~55(uhost)-$74(Oval Elephant)

CX-01-low heat telechips based stick.

specs: 800mhz Telechips tcc8925, Mali400 single core GPU, 512mb ram, 4gb or 8gb flash, wifi b/g/n, micro-usb for power and full size usb.

The micro-usb port is nice instead of the mini-usb. It's half the size of the mk802.

It lacks a micro-sd card slot and lacks a power button.

It seems to have some problems with wifi range and disconnecting. Wifi seems a little slow.

Antutu score is around 2150.

Plays 720p no problem. 1080p varies depending on the file.

Not as nice as the A10 based systems but it will work in a pinch. It's also quite cheap.

Price:~$45(4gb)-~$55(8gb)

UG802-Rockchip rk3066 Dual core based device

specs: 1.2GHZ rk3066, Mali400 QUAD-core GPU, 1gb ram, 4gb flash, wifi b/g/n, micro-usb for power, full size usb and micro-sd.

Again no power button in software or hardware.

Wifi has good range.

Antutu score of 6801.

Plays 1080p no problem.

Price:~$89

I just received a sample of the UG802 stick today. It pretty much runs rings around the others. The wifi has better range than my Photon and it gets a better Antutu score. The built in launcher is nicer.

My only problem is that Rockchip is not as open as Allwinner or Telechips. There is no kernel source to be had.

I'll be keeping this and my CX-01. The CX-01 is going to be for the garage, the UG802 is going on my main tv.

I chose to keep the CX-01 to experiment with, a custom rom is in the works on the pandawill forum.

I gave my Oval Elephant to my brother as it's a very nice stick and would work well for him(he's a newbie to android).

My mk802 has already been sold on ebay. In my opinion it just wasn't worth keeping when I had the Oval Elephant.

Anyway top of my list is the UG802, but I'm sure that will change as soon as a quad-core stick gets released.

Do any you have tested have driver support for Bluetooth dongles, how about USB gamepads?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] ras209:
on the UG802 Have you tried netflix, comcast, cnn, hbo go or espn watch?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] daweeze02:
I just list my G-box II on ebay actually and will be picking up the UG802. Is this the one you bought?

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] deadhp1:
I haven't tested bluetooth dongles or usb gamepads since I don't have any!

I did test an ebay usb ethernet dongle which worked great.

I've been running netflix and crackle. Both of which work great.

HBO Go doesn't support HDMI output so it wouldn't work for me.

On my stick the Play Store only had free apps and lots of them weren't available in my country even though I'm in the US.

So I rooted it and went into frameworks.jar found where the carrier code(46002) was and changed it to the t-mobile us carrier code(310260).

I've posted instructions in the comments sections of this site http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/08...066-mini-pc-now-available-for-88-88/#comments

This device can be had for 62.99 from http://www.gadgetgreats.com/ug802-a...ngle-a9-dual-core-1-2ghz-wifi-hdmi-ug802.html

The in4dealz link looks decent too(faster shipping at least.

I bought mine direct from the manufacturer. Mine was a sample so my case is a little different. I may be having a custom version of the ug802 produced.(it costs 2x as much to make though) Let's just say that IF it happens it will be different in a good way.

I wouldn't hold my breath though, the current UG802 is quite awesome.

5 ghz 802.11n?

Could someone please post whether the UG802 supports wifi on the 5 ghz band? I have a dual band router and have to keep my 2.4ghz band on 802.11g for compatibility w/ some older devices. Does anyone know if this dongle will support 802.11n on 5ghz? I can't find any spec sheets that mention wifi frequencies. I'd buy this stick in an instant if it did!!

Thanks!

Hi deadhp1,

1. does UG802 has ESD protection on HDMI pins?

2. do you normally power it from TV's USB output or from an external DC adaptor? will it be able to power an external 2.5" HDD?

3. how do you normally shut it down? any option to reboot from software?

4. hve you tried playing a video with srt subtitle from MX player? is subtitle visible?

5. possible to provide us high res photo of the PCB?

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] fire_kid2003:
Well i went with Rasberry Pi (http://www.raspberrypi.org/)

They'll have android support soon enough
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] deadhp1:
I don't think any current soc supports 10bit video decode.

The ug802 claims to have esd protection for hdmi.

I normally power my ug802's with a 2a ipod charger, lapdock microusb, or a usb3 port.

I installed quickboot and as it's rebooting I pull the power....you only have about 10 seconds because it boots so quickly.

MX player plays .srt files with my videos just fine. It also works with embedded subs.

I'd rather not pop my case open until my 4th ug802 comes. I've only got one right now, I sent my other 2 out to some developers in hopes of getting a custom rom(for the Dual Droid TV Stick side project) I can point you to pcb pics at this online store http://www.aliexpress.com/item/First-Dual-Core-UG802-Android-Mini-PC-Upgrade-of-MK802-IPTV-1G-RAM-4GB-ROM-Quad/618712540.html

Hi deadhp1

Have you seen this? UG802 with 8GB Nand Flash...

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] deadhp1:
Specs on the above link say 4GB flash.

Rumor is that Zero Devices will be releasing a rk3066 stick with 8GB flash.

I've actually gone a step further and started an IndieGogo project to have a version of the UG802 produced with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of flash.

It's called the Dual Droid TV Stick. http://www.indiegogo.com/dualdroidtv

We've yet to raise any money. It's a pretty high minimum order quantity to have the changes made. I have been talking with the manufacturer for quite a while to make this happen. Hopefully it does.

If anyone wants to read more about the UG802 I've posted a Play Store fix and how to root it in the comments here:

To tell the truth, I dont think this kind of product line is gonna be exist in the near future. Phones with HDMI interface are much more useful, and their price is dropping day by day.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] djjosef:
this thing looks cool i would like to try
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] rayjr13:
disagree. At this price point. it's cheaper than a phone by nearly 5x; you are only interested in this if you already have or are willing to bring your own HDMI screen; so the draw is a device that is portable or fixed and not mobile. No one will want to turn there phone into a portable device that must be present if the TV purchased for 60-80$USD more can be as functional, sans touchscreen, as an Android tablet.

Think for me the biggest negative on the phone w/HDMI is HDMI tethering my phone/tablet (which I would otherwise use as the remote) to the TV across the room.

This is great option for "smart TV" upgrade that doesn't seem to headed the way of the logitech revue.

clockworkmod

I managed to get ClockworkMod running on the UG802.

Instructions and download are posted on my blog at mindbuntu.blogspot.com

I've also post them below.

Booting into recovery mode on my ug802 has never worked. It has always just brought up an android with a red exclamation point. I wanted to get clockworkmod running.

I’ve been reading this thread http://dragondevs.com/viewtopic.php?f=167&t=414 and http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/37836-cwm-5504-for-rk3066-tablets/ about clockworkmod for rk3066 based tablets by ChristianTroy.

So I extracted the parameters file from the oval elephant update.img and placed it into the modified cwm zip file.

This is only a test. I was successful in making a backup. I have not tried to restore or anything else.

Arrow Keys work to navigate.

I am not responsible if you brick your device!!

Below are the steps I followed.

1) Download ug802_CWM_5.5.0.4.zip from http://www17.zippyshare.com/v/97384066/file.html

2)Extract the zip into a folder.

3) In order to flash the recovery using RKandroidtool I had to run terminal emulator and type in:

su
reboot bootloader

4)Install drivers from the CWM folder when prompted.

If windows cannot find drivers then goto Control Panel--->Device Manager--->Other Devices---->Unknown Device.

Right Click and choose Update Driver Software.

Choose Browse my computer for driver software and navigate to where you have extracted ug802_CWM_5.5.0.4.zip.

5) Run RKAndroidTool.exe from the cwm folder.

After following the instructions I was rebooted into clockworkmod.

I can now boot into CWM from android by typing into terminal emulator:

su
reboot recovery

It should be noted that QuickBoot app does allow you to reboot into Bootloader.

It also allows you to reboot into CWM recovery, but once in CWM the keyboard doesn’t work. So make sure you use a terminal emulator to reboot into recovery and not the QuickBoot app.

can I use it with display turned off?

Hi Guys,

newbie here. I am planning to use this to replace my laptop connected to my TV and keep it on while downloading stuff via torrents or listening to songs. The question I had was, can I turn the TV off and leave it running playing my music or downloading my videos?

vivek
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] charstos:
same here
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] rayjr13:
if you power independantly of the tv USB power, which I would assume turns off when the TV is off, then remaining on should be no problem. If the HDMI output is connected directly to a tv and you turn the tv off, I'm not sure you should expect any sound to come out of the speakers....simple stuff really. The better questions might be, or at least more appropriate for me are:

Similiar to MK802, not II, there does not appear to be a software shutdown button. What methods, apps, framework mods can add this functionality?

Can anyone forsee any problems connecting the HDMI directly to a AV system with HDMI video passthrough. (this would be ideal for a monitor off/sound through AV system situation)

What i haven't experienced in android because I jsut havent tried it with any device is should audio be expected out of the HDMI interface for android-based devices?

Hi, i have an oval elephant aka SmallArt u-host device. It comes with android 4, but i am trying to boot some linux distro's like lubuntu, xubuntu using the micro sd card.

I can get it to boot, but i cant make wifi work. Anyone has any ideas on how to make it work???
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] gm2racer:
Along the same lines, anybody hear of the GV-20 (aka MK808), it looks like a UG802 with 8GB nand and Jelly Bean...

Crazy Idea

I was thinking about one of these for my motorcycle to use as a GPS and for Pandora. Does anyone know if any of these models will support GPS and a 3G?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] hmose:
Do not think 3G, camera or GPS has been mentioned on any of these.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Rescue Wagon:
I know that Raspberry Pi can have both, but the last thing I found is that it hasn't been fully ported over to Android OS and I'm really looking to run something that is Android based.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] deadhp1:
The ug802 can support webs and 3g sitcks. It doesn't support gps, and doesn't have bluetooth support. A usb bluetooth stick won't work with it.

I'd probably choose something with kernel sources so you can add support where it may be lacking.

I'll be testing the mk808 early next week when my sample unit gets here. I'm looking forward to it.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] rayjr13:
AND clocked to 1.5/6?

I was sick to my stomach when I ordered the UG802 and then the next morning checking on the order status and saw this as new. Might to buy this one too.

Anyone have experience with US shipping times for gadgetgreats?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Rescue Wagon:

How do you order a sample? There is a bit of local demand here so I'm interested in having one as demo unit but can't find the manufacturer's site

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] deadhp1:
UG802 manufacturer is ugoos.net

You can probably get a retail unit cheaper. I got one for 62.99 a last week.

My MK808 sample is a bit more expensive and ordered it through alibaba. Manufacturer is Tomato.

So far none are available with bluetooth on alibaba, even the ones that say they have bluetooth respond with it's not available at this time.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] rayjr13:
So am I mistaken or are there multiple packages or at least packaging for the UG802? Is the IF802 same as ug802+ same as ibex UG802+?

I purchased mine when gadget greats had it as just UG802 in a black box. I just wish I had some idea when it would get here. Feels like I've been waiting forever.

Reason I ask is from a development stand point will all these ug802a referenced be compatible with the same ROMS & kernels?

I know sample units vs retail units have been mentioned.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] deadhp1:
So far the ug802 are almost all the same. I believe there are 2 models, each with a different antenna. (pcb, or foil)

Software and roms should be compatible across all 4gb ug802's. Some places are just renaming them.

There are only 3 different wifi chips that they might use(rtl8188eus, rk901, rk903)....and so far only one type has been used(rtl8188eus).

I just read that someone actually got through to ugoos about the wireless issue and it has been discovered that it can be solved by soldering (2) 1pf bidirectional capacitors near the pads where the u.fl connecter should be.(where the antenna is soldered on)

I find this strange because I can't find a spot on my pcb where to solder them.

Personally what worked to fix the wifi on my sample unit that I upgraded to 9/03 firmware was to flash the kernel.img I ripped from my old firmware.

My wifi is steady again, but who knows if this will be the same for others.

We also know how to enter flash by shorting the 2 pads near the nand chip when plugging the ug802 in.

I've started a forum devoted to android tv sticks over at http://www.armtvtech.com/armtvtechforum/

I've posted up some howto's and some firmwares as well as my old kernel.img.

Hopefully we can gather and share info there.

knowing it costs more to resend back to china and since it's a hardware problem, there is no good replacement for the same product.

Xfinity Player App

I got the Xfinity Player app to work on my MK808 (with 10/26 stock rom upgrade) today. I just installed it and input my Comcast info. At first it gave an error 3-4 times but I kept reloading it. It finally loaded all the shows/menus/pics properly and has been playing just fine all night.

EDIT: The app froze up and needed to be re-installed. It's working fine again, for the moment. After reading comments for the app on the Play store, it would appear it's very buggy/little supported.

Ordered a MK808 from www.dx.com and it shipped out last monday. Hopefully it´ll arrive this week. Will be interesting to see what this little bad boy can do.

Hopefully it´ll be a workaround to getting my old flatscreen to be a bit smarter without having to buy a new TV ... a purchase which, btw, my beloved wife has no understanding for.

A bit sneaky from my part, I'know. But hey, what can you do...? ;)

Regarding input devices for the MK808: from postings around other forums it seems as if the logitech k400 will work well.
