I chose the iMito MX2 due to it's speed and the fact that it had Bluetooth built in. I have two, and the only real problem I've had is that the play store can't seem to differentiate between them... I'm assuming I'll have to hack a serial down the road in one of them to fix it. It plays 1080p though, and is fast enough to handle dead trigger and retro arch with a gamepad, and blows my raspberry pi out of the water in xbmc smoothness. There are likely better sticks out now due to the quad cores, but these work really well for me.

Best for the Price$

Let us make this by price category.

Best under $50

Best between $50 and $100

Best over $100

My top choices:

Best under $50

MK802II single core, lowest price (best supported, most ROMS, lots of firmware options)

MK808\MK808B dualcore (well supported, stable, fast, factory provides updates) tabletuser.blogspot.com and see benchmarks LINK

I own the Uhost U1A and it is the same as the MK802II, but don't own the MK802II. I do own the MK808B and believe for the $50 price it's the best choice for an Android Stick.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] viny2cool:
I just bought MK 802 III for 58 dollars and It looks and works fantastic. It is dual core with 1GB ram. I read some reviews about it and most of them were positive. Android app to control it makes it better. I played some HBO Go movies and they were flawless and very clear. I also tested some 1080P videos from youtube and they works without any issue. On netflix I could see how the video started choppy but then turned into clear HD. I havent played with it much I think I am going to like it.

I also used FAVI smartstick, it was nice too but couldnt play 1080P videos. HBO go was low quality as it is single core.

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Johev:
Hi all, from my search the new quad cores look like they could actually be useful HTPC replacements.

They run the new RK3188 Chip, which means 1.8ghz (Quad core) CPU and MALI 400 GPU. I am still waiting for some custom ROMs and XBMC compatibility tests, but so far they look very promising.

From the reviews I've read/watched the MK908 looks like having a much improved WIFI reception, Bluetooth 4.0 and 2GB of RAM (most new sticks with the RK3188 have 2GB of RAM).

So let's see which Android pc stick will get the developers support :), and then choose accordantly.

The competition is on.

Android stick for mothers day - need advice

I need to order an android stick and I need it fast, but I need product advice. I'm buy it for my mother for mothers day so that she can stream video over netflix and from my Plex server in my home a couple hundred miles away. I want her to be able to Skype rather seamlessly and since she's not very good with computers, less peripherals = better gift. Please advise on everything that I need to get her setup. I'll need either a stick that has a camera built in or I'll need a compatible web cam to buy separately from the stick. Same goes for the keyboard. I'd like it to be already set at or upgradeable to android 4.2 so that she can use it for Miracast. Please let me know:

- Which stick I should buy

- Recommended airmouse/air keyboard w/ mic and speaker if necessary

- Recommended/compatible wifi and/or USB webcam to clip onto the TV

- Recommended USB hub if I need one

If possible recommend devices that can be bought off of Amazon or somewhere in the US so that I can get it by Saturday. If not that's OK too I guess, it'll just be a bit late.

Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tedris:
Hey all,

Tried to post this in the beans thread but I apparently do not have enough posts, I usually lurk rather than post so I guess I'll have to change that.

I've been an avid flasher for a while and made the switch to beans with build 13, about a week before build 14 came out. I usually do a full wipe when installing a ROM, but it's a bit of a pain setting up various authenticators again.

I'm pretty sure if I OTA to build 15 that I won't have to set up everything again, but I'm worried that dirty flashing that way will cause issues.

Does anyone have any advice? I pretty much use this as my primary phone and don't want to put it out of commission by doing anything wrong.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1kd:
I always clean flash, because beans says so in the op.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mentose457:
Back up your apps and sms messages and do a dirty flash. If you have any problems do a clean install. A dirty flash wont brick your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tedris:
So it does, why have the OTA update at all if a wipe and install is recommended then?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Devs usually recommend a full wipe and flash. Having the OTA notification is a way to inform you there's a new build out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tedris:
Ah, that makes sense.

So anyway, I use Titanium Backup but despite following directions online, I always have to redo my authenticators, right now everything I'm using works off of the Google Authenticator app.

Is there a way for me to keep all the authentication information on the phone between flashes? Last time I went from CleanROM to Beans, it didn't work so well.

Dropped my phone down a stairwell and the screen is broken and does not come on. I have a replacement screen coming, but want to be able to take some backups just in case.

Is there a way to view, and control, the screen, without the screen itself working? I've tried Android Screencast but can't get control. Any tips?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
TeamViewer is free for personal use and lets you remote in and control the device, you can also try Android VNC Server, but if you cannot see the screen these would be had to setup or open.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonnythan:
I have TeamViewer installed, but see no way to log into the phone without being able to start the app and see the screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
My only other suggestion would be to setup adb on a pc and pull the files you need through that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonnythan:
Just to follow up, I was able to find no way to control the phone. Replacing the screen/digitizer was quick and very easy, though. Took less than 10 minutes.

Did you enable the USB Debugging? if so, you can control use adb, otherwise, there is no way.

I'm coming from an iPhone and don't know much about Android, so I'm wondering if it's easy to just have basic homescreens with a grid of app icons like the iPhone. Looking at Android, I always see a homescreen with a giant clock and weather info. I don't want all that stuff taking up space when the time is already shown in the statusbar, and I usually only need to the check the weather once or twice a day.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
That the main aspect of android. Being able to custimize everything. There are a few launchers that look like the iPhone but other then that you will be hard pressed as android devs tend to avoid the iPhone look. There are a few china based things that mimic the iPhone. What you see if just what people have on it. Like I use a small clock and small weather as I remove the clock in the status bar.

Those huge clocks and such are Widgets which, more than anything, are what set Android apart iOS. But, since Android is about choice, yes, you can set up your screen with a grid of app icons just like an iPhone.

Look, I know you're coming from the digital prison that is iOS, but you're free now. If you don't want the widgets, delete the widgets.

You won't get the exact app to work on aosp but you can have third party software to work in the similar way. Example would be the spen from Galaxy Note series.

As long as the various drivers are available and working in aosp, you can make use of the functions with the help of 3rd party apps. I'm sure many developers are already working on this right now ask we speak because this is a highly popular device.

I've been hunting for an extra, high quality, 2A USB charger for my devices - but I didn't want to pay $25-$30 to get a Samsung or Asus 2A USB charger. And then I came across this blog entry by Ken Shirriff where he went and reviewed 12 different USB chargers including genuine and fake apple chargers + other brands.

http://goo.gl/rym3M

Really good and informative post. Definitely recommend a read. For the Cole's notes version, apple makes great USB chargers ... but not the best. The best USB charger in this review actually turned out to be the USB charger that came with the ill-fated HP TouchPad. This charger has very low noise and voltage drop characteristics.

What's more, you can actually get these great HP chargers for $15 on eBay. Or via Kijiji for $15 if you're in the Toronto area.

Mine is off Kijiji and here are logged screenshots of my GNex charging from 12% to 100% with both the Samsung charger that came with it and the HP Charger.

FYI, I use this charger for both my GNex and my N7. I've posted OEM vs HP Charger graphs from my N7 here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RyanTX:
I see nothing in those graphs that makes me think one is better than the other. The lines are virtually identical, they go from 12%-100% in the same amount of time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
It doesn't buzz like the stock one and it doesn't get hot when charging the GNex at ~1A like the stock one does. As well, this charger is capable of handling tablet charging as well. Guess I should have indicated all this in my first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] indolent:
The post is rating the chargers on far more than just how quickly it charges a phone.

Just to add my two cents, anecdotally, before even seeing this post, I was going to say that the touchpad chargers have been the best I've used also. Glad i bought 4 or 5 of them for $5/each when hp went on their firesale binge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kbowman:
I read that same article and bough two of them months ago for $6. They are great. They do have a slight buzz if you put your ear up to them but nothing like the samsung one. Highly recommend them.

Interesting article. Not really sure what to make of it though, beyond not buying counterfeit chargers?
