This is an interesting direct comparison between Ouya and the G-box Midnight MX2.

http://www.amazon.com/review/R35SEI3ONB5SCK/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R35SEI3ONB5SCK

It didn't make the Midnight look very good. The Ouya emulator games seem to work really well in the video. The Midnight had issues with games and 1080P videos, and the emulator games on the Midnight ran slow. The reviewer also couldn't get bluetooth adapters to work, so could use a PS2 wireless controller. Granted, this is just one person's attempt to use the Midnight box, maybe other people have overcome these issues with some setting changes.
[Ouya General] plasmafire:
Yep the guy is playing games and using plex..both of which the mx2 doesn't do well. I am just going to have it boot into xbmc launcher. Run utorrent with rss feeds from showrss in the background. And maybe run droidnas on it. I have seen logitech mini keyboards work so that is what I'll get.
[Ouya General] mkhopper:
Yea, I keep getting torn one way or the other every day when I see a review that is posted.

My primary use for either device will not be for games at all. 100% streaming media playback from either my local nas or sites like youtube, amazon vod, etc...

I also won't be using Plex and instead be going with XBMC.

As for Plex... the above video review showed some really bad stuttering while playing 1080p video. On Android, is Plex using its own decoder for playback or does it offload it to MX Player? I ask because when streaming any of my local 1080i content (wirelessly) to my Xoom tablet, it plays back in MX Player flawlessly.

So is the MX2 video stuttering in the video review a fault of the hardware or Plex software?
[Ouya General] plasmafire:
Yes you can use the Revue KB. Just buy the Unity USB. You will be able to use it anywhere.
[Ouya General] patass:
This was my video. The settings I was using in Plex on both devices was to use the hardware to decode and playback the videos. The MX2's hardware just simply isnt nearly good enough to rely on for high resolution video playback, and on top of that there's some really annoying kinks with it like no bluetooth support at all and a very fussy keyboard input system that really sucks compared to stock android and what the Ouya uses.There's also a higher res version of the review on youtube, I linked to it on the first page of this thread towards the bottom.
[Ouya General] plasmafire:
Just got my MX2 today. I was quite apprehensive after reading some of the comments, but I must say that after using it for a while.. it is exactly what I needed. I am not saying it is better than ouya, but I have XBMC setup with all my local media and video plugins. It works like a charm. I will not play any games on it so I don't really care about the gaming performance.

All programs installed from Play store work

Full 1080p videos play no issues on xbmc.

Torrents are download via showrss to my xbmc monitored directory.

USB hard drive 1TB western digital is powered via the usb ports and shared via droid nas

Quick video 1080p: http://youtu.be/vQ6FvGtKbEw
[Ouya General] tennisbgc:
not sure if plex has the issue xbmc for ouya has at the moment but after the new firmware update last week most of my videos have stuttering seems like a framerate issue I reported it to ouya and they got back to me saying they are aware of the issue and are working on it. Before that update my videos were playing smooth.
[Ouya General] SamsungBlue:
Thanks. There seems to be quite a few "Unity" USB recovers from Logitech. I couldn't find one that listed the Revue KB as a compatible device. Would any of those Unity receivers that work with other Logitech KBs or mice work? Seems like there are several in the $10-15 range. I appreciate your help.
[Ouya General] coachclass:
Hey, thanks for the review and first hand account. Good to hear that the Chinese Android boxes are pretty capable. Eventually, the Chinese manufacturers will be making these with Tegra3 level graphics components. Since they run pure Android, they would make the Ouya less attractive I think. At the end of the day, the Ouya isn't competing against other console, but against devices like the G-Box's MX2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] WoodburyMan:
I've noticed that the S4 seems to have very poor if not disappointing Signal Strength. This is Firmware independent as I have had the same results on 100% stock firmware, rooted stock firmware, and CM10.1.

At home I get HSPA+ service only via AT&T. On my iPhone 3G, 4, and 4S I used to get 3 or 4 bars, occasionally 2 bars of service in my room on a nightstand where I leave my phone at night. In fact I'd get pretty much 3 or 4 bars in the entire house. With the S4 I'm going between 0 bars, no service, and 1 bar. Occasionally I will manage to get 2 bars.

Likewise, in another area over the weekend I was going from no service to 1 bar of EDGE (2G service!) and occasionally 1 bar of HSPA+ where friends who also had AT&T with iPhone4's were getting 2 bars of HSPA+ 3G. Another friend with iphone5 and AT&T actually was getting 2-3 bars of LTE.

Anyone experiencing similar woes and disappointing service? If so, any way to improve it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fosser2:
I have noticed the same disappointing service from AT&T. I moved from Verizon to AT&T due to a work contract change. I went from 4G LTE to full bars of EDGE. This is pretty much unacceptable but there is nothing I can do about it. During the days I can manage to get 4G HSPA+ but its still not even close to what LTE was. Driving down some major highways I still drop calls on AT&T. Also up north at my cottage I can get no bars and with verizon (droid razr maxx) I could get 3 out of 5 bars and 3G coverage. AT&T does not even come near to what Verizon has been doing. They really need to step up their game...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kreoXDA:
Guys, you are talking about two different issues.

The OP complains that his SGS4 gets fewer bars than his iPhone (I assume on same provider). I would not judge signal strength this way. 4 bars on iPhone could be equal to 1 bar on SGS4 in terms of pure measured signal strength. Go to system menus on both phones to check the signal strength value. Do not just compare the number of bars.

Fosser2 - you are in general complaining about AT&T. Yes AT&T sucks an has sucked for years. :) Nothing new there. Although there are areas where AT&T beats other providers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] WoodburyMan:
Yea. I can see the DB stength in setting on the S4, the only thing is on iOS raw signal data is not available. At least unjailbroken. I did have my 4S jailbroken on OS 6.1.2. However I already reflashed it back to stock with 6.1.3 in preparations for selling it so I cannot rejailbreak it currently, nor even get onto it since there is no SIM. They may have different metering for signal stength. I actually had a patch installed on my old iPhone 3G at one point because original metering on it was completely off and would display 3 bars then drop to 1 when youd go to make a call. However I am for certain getting more "No Signal" messages on the S4 than the iPhone. And standing next to two iPhone users on the same network with 1-3 bars each while I have "no signal" shows something about the S4.

Exactly. I was on AT&T before and I am still on AT&T. Same locations as well, and comparing it to other AT&T users with other phones in same location. Throwing a Carrier Change and different location into the mix along with a new phone makes it impossible to compare. Fosser you're bound to have different dealings with providers in different areas' Around here where I am AT&T is king for signal and Verizon is very sketchy.(AT&T has two towers in town, Verizon only has one) So its hard to tell if its the phone in your case or just location or carrier that has the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
I lol'd at this - because it's really true. In many (most?) areas in my state, AT&T is the absolute worst. In my county, it's the absolute best, especially in terms of data speeds.

But since my S4, I have noticed rare (once every several days? maybe once a week?) cases where I will have 1 bar and seemingly no data coverage at work for a period of probably 5 minutes, where I normally easily get 4-5 bars. It's probably just a tower thing - perhaps the nearest tower is going offline and it's using one from across town for a brief period or something.

Otherwise, I've had about the same coverage on my S4 as my S2, if not better. I would recommend calling AT&T repeatedly. At work, I deal with our cell phones all the time, all 110 of them on AT&T. We get duds, it seems. The best way I've found to correct the situation is:

Call AT&T, explaining that we've done a factory reset on the device. They will "reset something on their end" (afaik, they are simply clearing a cache of your device on the network, letting it re-associate itself) and have you reboot the phone again.

9/10 times, this temporarily fixes the intermittant problems we have with the device, because, it is in-fact intermittent. :/

Call again the next time you have coverage issue. They might do the same thing again for a couple calls. For enterprise accounts, they seem to be willing to move forward on the 2nd call.

After calling a few times about the issue, ask if you can get a replacement device under warranty. Now that they have you documented that you have a recurring problem, they are usually more than happy to replace the device under warranty.

If you have a local AT&T corporate store, perform the last step in the store to get the warranty replacement. No need to wait for shipping, plus the risk of them sending you a crappy refurbished phone.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddhism:
I have accidentally soft bricked my I9505 after using Triangle Away, no idea how. It boots into lockscreen, but after I unlock the phone, all I can see if the status bar and the interface is blank(black). After a few seconds, it auto-reboots again.

Unfortunately, I didnt back up my phone(stupidly) before. Do you guys think that if I back it up now through CWM Touch Recovery, reflash stock ME2, then restore my data, will I get back my info?

Urgent, thanks :]

I've been ignoring custom roms for about 6 months after I tried one previously and found the bluetooth bug. Just curious if this has found a fix at this point? I'd love to run a CM10.1 rom, but bluetooth audio is a must have for me.

Bluetooth audio has been working fine

But from my experience there have been problems with Bluetooth dialing.

A recent update of slimbean (version 6) seems to have corrected the problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kt314:
I don't know that the issue really is fixed in 4.2.2. Doesn't seem to matter what ROM I run (I've tried CM, Carbon, AOKP), I can't get Bluetooth to work at all. It won't scan/find any of my devices or even turn on. I've resorted going back to stock rooted.

Has anyone found a work around or fix?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jamesc760:
If bluetooth worked, it wont be 4.2.2. Best to go back to 4.1.x.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kangtastic:
once in the past, when the CM roms were having bluetooth problems, I tried a different kernel and that fixed issues. The BMS Kernel is pretty stable and great performance/battery. you might give that a try.

Hey everyone, I'm new here and to the world of Android so I apologize for any noobiness in advance. I had an iPhone the past 4 years and just made the switch and bought a new AT&T Galaxy S4.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
It means nothing to an average user but it means everything for a true gamer. I mean like in your PC. Having high benchmark scores is useless for a person who only use his computer to facebook, twitter, video streaming, edit documents etc.

But for those who use adobe products, Play high end games, Run emulators etc. Every bit of it means everything.

So please guys don't apply the "Benchmarks score means nothing" to every user you find here in xda because each and everyone of us here uses our device differently.

Benchmarks are an important tool. If you think otherwise, you are the tool.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
Benchmarks are only useful if you know the governors set in the kernel will trigger a higher performance mode. If it doesn't, then benchmarks will just show there's either a weird kernel setting, and not raw performance.

Yes, they are absolutely not a be all and end all. They are a tool, and like any tool you need to know how to use them.

​

For the last 10 years, XDA-Developers has been a central pillar in the world of mobile device development. What started as a shared idea of a few enthusiasts, hackers, and developers, has evolved into a massive online community with members and developers from across the globe. Despite the size of our community, our ethos still stands strong: to advance the technology we use by means of research and collaboration. Our community has grown the way it has because people don’t like being chained to anything, let alone to a device that is bound to become obsolete within 6 months of hitting the market. That is the ideal that moves our community, but the driving force behind it is the ability and willingness to learn from each other. As a result of that thirst for knowledge, our devs have been able to accomplish the seemingly impossible (at least according to the very people who create the devices we own and love), which is to improve, adapt, and perfect, and even revive the devices.

We have seen some of, if not all, of the greatest names in this field taking off on our site and growing into giants in the mobile scene. People with similar interests congregate in the virtual walls of our forum and work towards a better future. XDA: DevCon is all this but taken a step further by tearing down the virtual walls and closing the distances that separate our community members from each other. The main objective of the conference is very simple: to take what we normally do in our forum and bring it live to maximize the experience and to learn from the very best. Most importantly, we aim to do it while having fun, just like the hobby this is meant to be. We’ll learn, laugh and have fun in the true spirit of XDA – collaboration.
