This thread's for 3rd party bumpers. I personally refuse to pay $20 for a piece of plastic that Google can't even keep their production quantity at an optimal level. God bless the souls of people who are paying more than $20 for a bumper on EBAY (craziest I've seen so far was up to $70. props to the fool who cashed in on that one).

Throw whichever brand/company that would sell bumpers.

So drop any info, deals, etc. in this thread.

Thank you.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Richieboy67:
$20? Tell me where you see one available for $20?

You should really take a closer look. It I'd much better than you think and is well worth $20. They are selling on eBay for $100...

I have the $20 bumper and I think it's worth it. Never seen a bumper this nice - definitely top quality! It's leaps and bounds better than the $5 Poetic bumper.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
Its better then a bumper you've never seen? No one else has actually seen? Poetic bumper doesn't come out till the end of the month.

and to the OP, there is already a bumper thread on here too. Damn I guess it was about 3 pages back though!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
FWIW, the Poetic Bumper looks promising. Especially for 5 bucks. If you look at reviews of the same bumper on the iPhone 5, the quality looks great.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Jaxidian:
Yeah, I've NEVER liked a bumper where the buttons are covered w/ flexible rubber (or whatever) like that bumper has. The official Google bumper has the buttons as movable hard plastic components. That makes a world of difference to me!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dead Silence:
Dear all,

I noticed that my P7510 running on ICS 4.0.4 (XWLP5) has an unstable WiFi connection when the received WiFi signal strength is not maximum (2 or 3 out of 4 bars). Connection often disappears and when trying to reconnect to the WiFi network manually, the there is no response. Turning off / on Wifi on my Tab is no solution to the problem either. Even a full reboot does not always help. I updated from HC 3.2 to ICS 4.0.4. after full flasing HC 3.2 first.

Is this a known issue? I cannot find any decent info on this. Or is there a ROM that fixes this? Please help. Thanks in advance.

Did you have that problem on 3.2?

Try and flash the official ICS from sammobile with odin
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dead Silence:
Thankfor replying. I did not have this issue HC 3.2. I went back to stock HC3.2 and updated via WiFi to official ICS v4.0.4. No official releases for my country for P7510 are available for my Tab, but other official ICS v4.0.4 versions I tried from Sammobile have same issue.

I'm thinking to go to CM 10 release, but since wiping is required and my P7510 has brick bug, I'm hesitating to do this operation.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atsamoon:
Try the sammobile UK version that's what iam running and it had no problems

About the brick bug....... I just checked and as it turned out I too have the brick bug and I have actually ran EXPERIMENTAL-p4.zip

I have wiped the data and installed custom roms more than I can count......i don't know maybe it's over-rated or iam just lucky!!

Iam afraid to do it again now but he says here "Avoiding brick:

The only danger now seems to bi if you are on stock ICS ROM and you execute factory/data reset in Samsung recovery.

If you are using custom ROMs and CWM you should be safe because all custom ROMs/krenels have now removed mmc_cap_erase() from list of capabilities."

I have tried using this stick for a couple days and I think it has some potential, but the interface is horrid. I'd like to start a discussion about how to modify, root, or at least find some apps that can help make this a better media option.

It comes preloaded with 4.0.1, plex and the ability to sideload apps, so it should be pretty straight forward

I like the concept of multi-account. I am not sure the 4GB version I ordered could handle too much data (I believe there are duplicates of apps when using muti-account in 4.2, is that true?). Regardless, I think the 8GB version would be better setup to handle that.

In the last week, I haven't used the stick at all. that is partly due to being busy, but also having a bad taste in my mouth from my initial use of the stick (lack of usability) and being really frustrated with force closes, poor responsiveness and having to switch out HDMI cables to use it because I have too many devices connected and not enough HDMI inputs on my TV...but I digress.

I see that the XBMC Frodo Release Candidate 1 has been released http://xbmc.org/download/

my plan is to drop that on the smart stick this weekend (via the USB thumbdrive, I assume) and see how well it can handle it. My hope is I will get 1080 output, the new audio engine, PVR support and other nice goodies in the latest XBMC development and when it is stable and working well, to be able to grab my current XBMC user options folder and drop it into the stick.

Then I will have all my favorites, subscriptions, local network music/tv/movie folders, etc easily ported form my ATV2 iOS XBMC to the smart stick android XBMC....

I will report back and would like to hear if others have tried something similar.

[General Questions and Answers] reeceb73:
The reviews I have seen haven't been the best. I love the idea of this, but maybe its a little under powered. There are other ones out there that have dual core processors. According to Amazon, mine will be here on Monday. If its not up to the task, I might try one of the other ones which have dual core processors.
[General Questions and Answers] reeceb73:
Ok, so it came early, and I was able to get it hooked up. I have been playing with it for awhile, and my initial impressions are not good. I don't know if it is lack of oomph with the processor, or terrible software, but this thing is barely usable for my needs.

I did download the googletv remote app. It works pretty well. Occasionally, it loses connection, but overall it works fine.

Initial setup is pretty painless. After getting everything up and running, I downloaded netflix and hbogo. Neither work very well. Netflix takes a long time to load and there is terrible lag. After a few minutes, it seems to get better. Because the app is made for tablet/phone, it doesnt work nearly as well with a tv, because of the lack of a touch screen to scroll with. It becomes an exercise in patients to get what you want on this app. The search feature works just fine, but for general browsing, it really isnt very good.

HBOGo is much worse. With big series such as the sopranos, it overwhelms the unit and things almost completely freeze up. There was no way to select any episode because of all the lag. I did a movie to load, but the resolution was subpar and the video is choppy. I have full bars and the Favi is right next to my router. HBOGo works flawlessly on my phone or tablet, but on the TV, it is really bad.

I love the idea of this thing, but i don't see me holding onto this unit very long. It really is a slow pile of junk at this point.

Upon reading more about the one from laptopmag.com, it comes rooted out of the box. and apparently although it cant reach 1080p resolution natively, some have been able to do so with custom roms, and being only 5 bucks cheaper makes it alot better. Thanks for those links!
[General Questions and Answers] 85gallon:
720p is good enough.

I am looking at the last link I posted. The MK802 III. It has a 1.6ghz processor where the first link is only 1ghz.

[General Questions and Answers] Elysian893:
I should have looked at reviews before I bought this thing, what a pile of crap... It's really terrible, so damned slow. I don't remember even my OG Droid being that slow at 1ghz, and it only had 256mb ram... I'd love to see it rooted with overclocking and CM10.1...
[General Questions and Answers] reeceb73:
Ok, I've been playing around with this thing. I disabled all apps and processes which aren't necessary.

Stock Browser is terrible. I downloaded Opera and Chrome and they work better, but not great.

Youtube app works really good. No lag, high quality video and sound.

HBOGo is terrible on this thing.

Netflix takes a little time before it works, but it seems to be pretty good. After the videos load (which take too long), it has worked pretty flawlessly.

I uninstalled googletv app once my wireless keyboard came in. The googletv app worked ok, but was buggy. the wireless keyboard works much better.

Its still a little disappointing and a little unstable, but with some tweaks, it might be OK in the future. They have released a rooted access build. The bootloader is locked, so this will limit development. Because this thing was so cheap, I might hold onto it. I have been debating keeping it and hoping it gets better, or sending it back and buying MK802III. I have until the end of January to send back, so I will continue to play with it for now.

[General Questions and Answers] 85gallon:
This thing is pretty cool so far. I am glad I got the MK802III instead of the favi.

Netflix is streaming good at 720p. Trying it any higher than that it is choppy and macro blocking despite having good wifi speed (speedtest.net is showing 17Mbps down) They are supposedly working on a fix.

It would have been awkward getting it going if I didn't have a wireless mouse sitting in a drawer since I didn't order a keyboard with it. I installed the remote control app that I downloaded from their forums and am using that on my phone. Initial reviews of the remote software is it is a piece of shiite. But I need to give it a chance and try it on my Kindle. Perhaps try to find another app to use.

It came with the updated firmware on it dated 11/29/2012 which is surprising. I am sure most out there don't have it yet. So I didn't need to immediately upgrade the firmware. It is rooted out of the box on this version of the firmware and the remote server is installed.

I am however getting kind of a cheesy feel. But I am almost positive it is because I am using the speakers on my TV for sound. I am not used to them. Later tonight I am going to run an optical cable from my TV to the surround sound OR I may just plug the MK802 directly into the back of my surround receiver and see it it will pass HDMI through to the TV with no problems. It should.

I have a few other things I want to try with it and I will let you know.

One note though. The wifi appears weak. the router I have it connected to is right behind it on the other side of a wall and that works fine. But when I try to use my wifi router that is 30 feet away with two walls in between, it will connect but not retrieve any data. My cell and KF use that router fine. I saw some people having problems with weak wifi on their forums and a few definite fixes.

I am stoked about this thing!! I haven't even gotten to try all of the Android stuff yet. I did DL the youtube app and was able to view my favorites.

Also, I was able to browse to my Networked Media Tank and view videos from it as well as view videos from a shared HD on an old windows box that I have a lot of media on.

It will be absolutely awesome if I can get this thing working with audio through my surround. I assume since it is HD that the audio is 5.1 when available. I need to check that out.

Oh, and here is the Rikoh forums.

http://www.rikomagic.co.uk/forum/index.php
[General Questions and Answers] 85gallon:
I didn't connect it to the back of my surround. Well I did, but since it lacks a separate audio output my receiver will only pass through the audio to the TV speakers I moved it back to my TV.

So I connected it to my TV, then ran an optical audio from the TV optical out to my receiver. Now I have video and surround through my surround speakers. Now to get busy playing with this thing!!

EDIT: the remote control software works a lot better on my KF.
[General Questions and Answers] Elysian893:
Interesting, in that thread Chad says they'd love to support developers who want to put custom roms on it, but not until they have it to where it "just works" for 95% of users...
[General Questions and Answers] reeceb73:
I like my Favi more ad more, but I don't think I would recommend it to people just yet. They have a lot of bugs, which they acknowledge, so it really isn't a finished product.

I have been looking at the forum you linked, and it looks interesting. A lot of people complaining about WiFi disconnect -- are you getting this, or is it pretty stable? Do you have HBO Go? If so, how is that working? What about Netflix?

Of the Favi, HBO Go works fine with the wireless remote keyboard accessory, but the picture quality looks less than 480. Netflix is a little better, but it definitely isn't as good of a picture as I get on my PS3. I feel like its an issue with the app, but wanted to get the feedback from another device to verify.

The Youtube app looks and works great for me.

The browser is buggy. I am going to keep playing with it to see if I can find a decent browser to work on this thing -- not that I will use it much, but it would still be nice to have from time to time. I just want to stream music and video through this thing, so I will not be using many of the other apps (email, games, etc).

I have mine hooked directly into my A/V receiver and I have no complaints with this setup.

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

I saw that. I hope they come out with an update soon to address the known issues. This thing has a ways to go before its ready for the average person to use on a daily basis. I believe this is the case with most/all of these devices at the moment. A lot of knock offs that have just been repackaged. If there was some real development on these things, it would be a game changer.

I have bee looking at the Roku for awhile, but it is more expensive and a closed system with limited options from what I have read. I love that these smart sticks have the potential to be what I want and not what someone else thinks I should have.
