[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] 5hr3wd:
I think if you haven't bought it outright, you're still signing a contract. That makes the device your property and you liable to keep paying the monthly usage charges till the contract ends.

A lot of people get devices on new plans/contracts, sell them and use their old phones with the new plan. Wouldn't that be illegal too if that were the case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fix-this!:
i never keep my phones for more than a year. the only carrier that penalizes you for selling before the 2 years is tmobile. that's unless you pay it off first, they have that stupid monthly payment BS.

How are you guys getting the code for $10? When I input my imei the lowest it shows is $16.90.

It depends on your carrier too I think. Mine was exactly $10.90 and Im with AT&T.

Hey,

I recently bricked my Galaxy 8.9 GT-P7320T, I have taken it to A tech and they said jtag did not work and there's nothing they can do about it, So I am thinking the custom ROM has destroyed the partition tables.

I am wondering where can I get A motherboard replacement? being A Telstra Tablet I'm not sure where can I get one from but i'm still paying it off so I want a fix either way.

And can i use the P7320 motherboard as an replacement?

Thanks,

Another different version of Nexus 4 has been released in India.

Lockscreen has shortcuts to Google Now and camera.

Interesting to see a different version of the Nexus 4.

EDIT : Actually, this might be a one off device. Like he said it's a preview and it's not the final version.
[Nexus 4 General] drawkcaB:
Worth noting it might stay like that because google does not sell the phone here. Its brought down by LG in an exclusive deal with the site flipkart.

Retail is with a one year warranty by LG and not google like those retailed from the play stores abroad.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Cell Master:
I figured out how to push this update download from AT&T and then manually force the phone to update. It's basically just tricking the phone. I would write a detailed guide on this but I don't have the time because I have work and bills to pay. Donations would help though :)

HTC One Cons:

- CID based roms

- Locked Bootloader, unlocking it will cost you a part of you warranty and a lot of anger if turned in for repair

- Slow updates

- Hboot versions determines wether you can flash/update a rom

This for me is enough not to buy any HTC even if it would be made of gold ;)

I was using the S600 9505 variant. And my post may have gone over things that reviews and such may have mentioned but no review covers it all and I have not seen a single review mention things like the fact the HTC screen doesn't turn on to show notifications.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tomo1971:
Wow, yet another biased review that makes out its unbiased.....Jesus.

Couple of points:

With TW, you can change the background of the SMS app, if that annoys you? So what if its a different colour to the mail app.

Sense, unlike touchwiz doesn't have the quick settings it the notification bar. Sooooo convenient to be able to toggle things quickly without having to add widgets to the home screen.
[Galaxy S 4 General] bnathan:
What do you mean bias? Seems like your here to defend your decision to buy the S4. I have used both phones for weeks and I gave my observations. Simple. Not biased. I still love my S4 and that's what I am using today so I am hardly here to bash it.

WTF guys?! This is the general thread. OP had both devices and felt like posting his thoughts. You dont like? Move the #$^#$^ along and keep your opinions to yourself.
[Galaxy S 4 General] shadowcore:
I dont get cretins that like Unibody design phones with no storage expansion.

Ok, on built 32 GB of space is ok, its just that when you already have a nice and good microSD card, you would need to throw that thing away and you would need to tediously copy the data from the sd card to the phone.

What about the battery? After 2 years, if you intend to keep the phone, your battery is going to be much weaker than when you bought it. Batteries get weaker with time and lose their performancel.

Sure you can keep going on, but good luck using that thing with 50% or less battery performance after 2 years.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
These types of threads are funny and fairly frequent. OP, this is what you're essentially saying - "everyone else's opinion isn't as good as mine so let me tell you what's really going on." And there's bias throughout your post and that's OK; but call it that. Everyone wants different things so their view is always going to take that in to account no matter how objective they try to be. I like Samsung's s/w features and Sense doesn't even have Awake Stay. So if I were to review TW vs. Sense which do you think I'd like best? But that's just me and I know I'm in the minority; at least on XDA. When expressing an individual opinion the best approach is to state your position, describe how you use your device, share your findings and then let others draw a conclusion based on their needs as to which phone or feature is "best."

I am considering ordering one of these. Mele A1000G

I've been looking for a true Android solution for a set top box, and this seems like a great option. I don't have cable and will rely on this for all my TV needs. Currently, I have a Boxee Box and a Zeki Media Streaming Box, but I am not happy with the Zeki at all and I think the specs on this box look like a great replacement. The Boxee has worked pretty well for a year or so, but it;s starting to be too buggy for me. If anyone has any thoughts or experience with the Mele A1000G, I'd love to hear it.
[Android General] alpike:
Me too

Hi Gadsden

I am interested in this box as well, found in price range from 100$ to 200 on ebay and aliexpress,

beware some of them are with 1GB ram.

I would like to run XBMC on it, and haven’t found any good review yet. Any one out there please gives us a hint,

Thanks,

:good:

I’ve also experienced the crash to AllWinner splash screen with another AllWinner A31 device (CS868) twice. I could only fix it by re-installing the firmware. I think there’s a problem with the way they currently handle the partitions.
[Android General] gadsden:
I ended up ordering an MK808B instead. I opted for it because it has so much development support. After about a week with it, I was frustrated with the navigation on Netflix and Hulu. So, I returned it and just hooked up an old Gateway Core 2 Duo to my TV. I got this computer recently for $100 with a widescreen monitor, mouse, keyboard and speakers. So, in the end I ended up spending much less money and as much as I thought I wanted the Android box, the PC is working so much better than any other set top box I've ever used. I'm out of the market for anything new now.
[Android General] killerskincanoe:
if anyone else is still interested in this box. stay tuned mine is on the way from china. i'll update with a mini review
[Android General] khanapurechait:
I bought this box after looking at others, the box has good hardware but the software is not optimized for it. The new firmware is still better but still not fully optimized. Mele need to work more on software, a lot of work is needed.
[Android General] Rinat_Nurulov:
MeLE A1000G

This TV-Box is completely unstable.

During the first hour of use revealed an inherent bugs. Device hangs and reboots spontaneously. Error messages arising that the application is not responding after each mouse click. LAN port does not work. The new firmware 1.2.5 & 1.2.7 does not solve the problem. The seller refused to bear the shipping fee of return which is expensive. The claim has been resolved, and AliExpress has made a full refund to me with no returning goods.
[Android General] Qefx:
You spam it everywhere, with same sentences and same "build of text". odd...

So I´m asking anyone else here (in his own words) anyone ordered the box and tested it?
[Android General] Qefx:
Hm no one got this box? ;(
[Android General] chaindrive2000:
mele m9

Bought on of these, can't read Chinese so just about.everything on it is being deleted. Honestly the windows 8 front launcher sucks. Download go launcher from google play. Netflix works as does xbmc for media sharing. Would be cool.to.see a new port for another themed rom. Took it.apart and found a spot that looks likes a.sata port connection. Maybe solder a port in the future and see if I can add.som.extra storage.
[Android General] Qefx:
How about DTS passthrough and 1080p streaming did you tested it?
[Android General] khanapurechait:
I wish this box can work as a miracast receiver, maybe in the future. The main guy at Mele said they have received a new sdk from allwinner and that will hopefully help them to get a better firmware
[Android General] Qefx:
Mine arrived today, so far so good. What is really, I mean really odd:

BubbleUPNP: Not able to browse QNAP dlna directories

MX Player: Not able to fast forward.

Every other trash "media player or dlna browser" no problem.... That's really really odd...

Videos play nice even my 1080p videos. There is a miracast button, but only to send? Didn't tried it.

Most "that´s sad" thing: DTS-Passthrough ;( Don´t know how to get it work or if it will ever work... Any ideas?

If someone wants to let me check something (short video for example) let me know.

My opinion so far: VERY GOOD BOX! Someone wrote other manufactures try to trash the box, I would say right now: It really looks like that...

Edit: DTS-Passthrough seems to work. Receiver switches from analog to digital DTS when playing DTS content. But Im not quit sure because I live atm in a small room so i can´t play on all 7.1 boxes -_-

Edit2: Never XBMC possible (closed source) or someone signs the NDA and makes a custom XBMC if possible? But I dont know. But that would be awesome! But Plex is also VERY VERY nice and works well
[Android General] Qefx:
Well ok after around two days with this box:

Never a closed source SoC again Samsung S3 is already a pain in the ass.... now this one. Excellent hardware / price / Speed / power consumption. (thats what die design target of the chip was I think) But it gets useless if no v(ideo) app can draw on this power :( because they dont open up there hardware decoding for videos.... even the onboard video player is not able to fast forward in video from streams.... what a joke... I really sad because on itselfs it looks nice, behaves nice, only one crash with playOn app which might be the app fault, and speed performance etc looks really well. I would rather keep that box instead of waiting for the minix x7 for another two month or so.... ;(

If anyone got a tip how to get fast forward in mx player for example on a 1080p video from upnp stream I would tryi it...

Aaaaand its gone. Even facebook page is closed now... wow ok...
[Android General] khanapurechait:
Yeah noticed the Facebook page is gone! That sucks! We should keep this thread going as this looks like the only community that's legible to English users. The Chinese site has a forum but impossible even after chrome translates the pages. What firmware are your devices running. I've stuck to 1.2.5 didn't want to risk an upgrade and break things that are working

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------

I'm still getting some hang time on my device. Btw it looks like a31 source code is available. Even found a Cwm recovery that sort of works, also can u get droidmote to work on your device? Would be awesome if it did
[Android General] Batfink33:
I got my A1000g 2 days ago. It seems to have a lot of potential but has some bugs hopefully Mele will iron out. I noticed the CPU was clocked at 1ghz so I downloaded Set CPU and raised it to 1.2ghz which seems to run stable, any higher and the box crashes. This also seems to help the hangs which happen a lot. Xbmc has some trouble with HD but is fine on SD. Overall its a nice box which I really hope Mele give a lot of support to and updates to.

PS.I'm having trouble with popcorn player. The edge of the player is off the screen so I can't resize it, it seems to be because the Nav Bar is gone. Does anyone know how to fix this or even get the Nav Bar back?
[Android General] Qefx:
Well I just filled a send back form out. I will send my meleback and get a refund. The no fast forward and back ward problem is no problem for me ( Use bubble upnp for example) but I can't tell my Girlfriend to to exchange her Blackberry for an Android just to get fast forward in a movie. MX Player said that this problem will persist (even inbuilt player doesn't support fast forward)

My box was / is on 1.27, its really a pitty that I cant get to work. It is really really a nice box. ;( (Damn closed source SoC no one wants to support...)
[Android General] Rinat_Nurulov:
You have received and tested this box. I hope you re-evaluate my so-called spam now. Good luck!
[Android General] Qefx:
Yeah, as I wrote, nice box, no crashes just one (Might be the app) but I got the second gen with external wi-fi not internal. So the problems you got might be first gen probs.

The problems I listed are the only problems: 720p+ can´t be fast forwarded on streams. Some players don´t play with hardware encoding (Closed source SoC)

It´s almost funny that closed sourced want open sourced software to sell products and don´t want to "update" there software to use closed sourced hw+ accelaration (MX Player for example)
[Android General] Varming:
Where did you get a 2nd gen A1000G with an external antenna?? The only A1000G listed at the MeLE site is this:

http://en.mele.cn/products/show/31.htm

I also got the MeLE A1000G and it's a really bad box. Random factory resets, random freezes and in my box the SD slot is misalligned a bit so you have to force the SD card in. On firmware 1.27 I can't find a XBMC that can play a 720p MKV file without crashing - maybe it will work with an external player, I haven't been able to get that to work yet.

I've been in contact with MeLE directly: Some woman named Susan which seemed very helpfull wrote me that she would send me a new firmware to test. I wrote her back with some more info and then she wrote me that a tech named Issac would contact me. This never happend so I wrote Susan again. Now we start all over and she asks the same info I've gave her once.

When the Facebook page still existed (before MeLE deleted it due to complaints from customers) MeLE promissed most of July that a new firmware would be out before August. That never happend. The last we heard from MeLE was that they got a new codebase from Allwinner with the new SDK and that a firmware would be out in (I think) 4 weeks. Personally I doubt that will happen but time will show.

I also tried contacting DealExtreme where I bought this %#&!# box with the problems. They wrote me back that I should take some pictures of the problems and send them to them - how do you take pictures of random freezes and random resets? I guess I'm stuck with this box and just have to be sad that I lost the money. Too bad - and never buy from MeLE again.

I just ordered a different box which seems to have a new upcoming community and some very skilled people making custom ROMS for it, it can't be worse than the MeLE box ;)
[Android General] Rinat_Nurulov:
MeLE does not control the quality of the output product

Sorry for my lack of English. I'm not English-speaking, as you might guess from my "build of text". I never said that MeLE produces 100% defective devices. But I have no doubt that MeLE does not control the quality of the output! Otherwise the device I would have bought could not pass QC. A1000G does not have adequate cooling. Overheating of the AllWinner A31 chip reached 95C! Compound near the processor darkened by the action of overheating!
