I can confirm that Chainfire's CF-Root provides you with root access again after installing this update. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2293800

Please make sure you thank Chainfire for his effort.

As I use my camera a fair bit, it's great to see that it launches must faster and is far smoother. I can also confirm that you can now move apps to your SD card.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaskii:
I was driving and my phone was in my pocket. There is no way it was hit or got wet, I was driving whole time. Next time I took my phone, it was off. I tried to press power button and also hold it, nothing happened. I though my phone was stuck (never did it before) so I pulled out my battery, waited 10 minutes, put it back in and tried again. Nothing. I also had charger in my car and tried with that, nothing happened. No LED light, no screenlight, no vibration, nothing.

Now few hours after I am home and started to check whats wrong with my phone. I tried with original charger, nothing. My girlfriend also has S3 so I tried with her battery, nothing. She put my battery into her phone and noticed that it didn't go on. Funny thing is that I took my phone off charge this morning and phone was on for maybe 4 hours before this "death" happened. I took my multimeter and checked voltage. It was 0. Not 0.4 or 2.1 but 0.000. I checked my girlfriends battery also if my meter was broken but I got normal value from her battery. I plugged my charger into my phone and left it for 15 minutes. I tried to check voltage again and it was still 0.

Question is, did my MB broke and created short circuit resulting emptying my battery completely or did my battery flip and broke my phone at the same time? Also, are both cases under normal warranty and will Samsung still repair/replace my phone even if I had it rooted and installed MIUI? Reason I ask this is that my phone won't be sent to samsung for nothing and that they won't ask me to pay for shipping and investigating problem (I don't even want to know their hour wages for this).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaskii:
But funny thing is that my phone didn't take any physical damage, it has never falled from big height (maybe something like 10-20cm and always to soft surface like carpet). It was working when I put it into my pocket and was broken when I took it. I was in the car whole time, not moving from drivers seat.

I'm not sure if Samsung will see if it is rooted since phone doesn't boot at all (tried with working battery). No vibration, no LED light, no screenlight. It's like trying without battery.

Do you think I should try and send it to Samsung or just throw it to trashcan?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
If the motherboard is DOA then they won't try to fix it, just replace it and your battery (if the battery is under six months old). Well worth sending for warranty, at worse you'll pay the postage and refuse the repair if they try to charge you.

Hello,

I am experiencing the same issue as well with my phone. I have left it on charge overnight and the phone stopped working. I have tried all the steps above but without any luck. If I take the phone for repair as you advise, are there any charges involved? And if they are, how much is the average cost for me to be ready for it and avoid getting a heart attack.

Thank you in advance for any replies.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
If covered by warranty then there should be no charge, SDS is due to Samsung problem.

But if warranty is not available then allow £200 for a new motherboard.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riclopes92:
Well with the situation that I have with the phone at the moment, is it even possible to detect the root?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
If the motherboard is completely dead then no, they won't find root (root alone doesn't invalidate warranty in the EU). The only problem might be if JTAG restores bootloader and flashed counter.

It's screen does not light up but i can feel the processor heating.

Any way to fix it????
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Just to clarify, so the device shutdown in the middle of flashing an update? Unfortunately if your device shutdown in the middle of a partially flashed update your likely hard bricked as some system files will have been modified while others will have not have been modified likely corrupting critical system files. Are you able to access recovery mode at all?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nihar:
No i am not able to access the recovery bcoz the display never lights up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
That's what I suspected, if the display doesn't turn on at all, no notification or power LED lights when turning on the tablet, or you don't feel a vibration when powering on the device, recovery mode or fastboot/similar flash mode can't be accessed then unfortunately the device is likely hard bricked. Warranty or JTAG would be your best option at this point.

[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] wowandroid:
hi guys,

I need a media player and rather than get a wdtv live, i'm thinking of purchasing an android stick as it has the bonus of apps etc.

I've seen loads of different sticks, such as MK808, MK809, MK809ii, MK809iii, MK908.

To be perfectly honest, I'm confused as to which is the

BEST

stick in terms of hardware/stability/software.

I want to be able to watch hd movies, play games and connect external storage. such as usb stick or hdd.

Which make/model is the latest so far? What can you recommend?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] insomnia:
cx-919 IMO
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] wowandroid:
thank you for your prompt reply insomnia. I do apologise, but i've never heard of it as the one's i've heard of are the "MK" models. What's so special about this one and how is it different from the rest? Is it more faster than the MK models? What about Raspberry PI?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] NixZero:
cx918 and mk908 are from the new generation of pen-TV based on RK3188 chip, all the others you cited in yur original message are based on RK3066 chip.

RK3188 is a 1.6-1.8ghz quad core chip, RK3066 is a 1.2-1.5ghz dual core chip, thus the first is a lot faster.

cx918 has a slightly better wifi than mk908.

Rasperry PI is A LOT less powerfull than both but its also a lot better optimized so it actually outperform both sometimes.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] wowandroid:
Thank you very much NixZero.

I think the first thing I need to do is decide if I want an Android Mini PC or Raspberry Pi or a dedicated Media Player.

My main concern is Movies - I'm looking for a device which can play almost anything you throw at it and can play HD resolutions smoothly. My understanding here is that a dedicated media player such as the WDTV live would be the best choice. But as you can understand, I want more and therefore the option for installing games/apps would be an added bonus.

So next I need to decide between a Raspberry Pi or an Android Mini PC...assuming it's been optimised, which one is the best?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] NixZero:
for movie playing, PI - rk3066 based ones struggles with 1080p content and rk3188 ones firmware still are pretty green while Pi's excellent hardware acceleration implementation plays even 1080p high rate content without any problem.

for some games/apps PI is a bit underpowered while RK3188 is a pretty powerfull chip, better than tegra 3 or samsung exynos 4412 (not at snapdragon 4 or cortex A15 level tho).

Pi has a perfect linux implementation while RK ones are still at an early stage.

not easy to chose, each has its strong and low points.

at least they are cheap.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] wowandroid:
Well in that case it leaves me with a dilemma. Just to clarify, I would be more than happy to stick with 720p movies as it's mainly for kids (whom can't tell the difference between 720p or 1080p, lol!), if the R3188 can handle them smoothly...what would you say? If it definately can handle them smoothly, then what about compatibility of file formats?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] plznote:
File formats should all work. Even at 1080p. If not there is always the play store and MX player has run everything I've thrown at it on my $20 MK802
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] wowandroid:
Thanks plznote. You said your MK802 has ran everything you've thrown at it, which is great, but what about smoothness of movie playback in 720p???
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] mrplowdan:
Also note the Pi won't play netflix movies, at all
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] wowandroid:
I don't watch netflix movies...it's mainly mkv, mp4 and youtube videos.

So what is 720p movie playback like on the android stick(s)? Is it smooth? Any minor issues?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] ramoncio:
Hi wowandroid,

If you are only interested in video playback, we have a clear winner! Check out devices with Allwinner A31 + powervr sgx544mp2 like this one:

http://www.ebay.es/itm/yatow-U4K-An...0?pt=Netzanschluss&hash=item56573ed2be&_uhb=1

It is only 1GHz, but the GPU plays 4k video with 120Mbps bitrate and 3D blueray output.

Have a look at this pages too, specially the first:

http://www.arctablet.com/blog/featu...-tablet-quadcore-arm-cortex-a7-allwinner-a31/

http://withimagination.imgtec.com/index.php/powervr/allwinner-a31-soc-with-powervr-graphics

If you play from a usb disk it should work like a real charm, but I don't know about the wifi speed, it doesn't have an external antenna. I'm sure playing that 4k file through wifi won't be so smooth.

If you can get a device with this chipset and a gigabit wired connection, go for it.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] wowandroid:
To be honest, I've never heard of the sticks you've mentioned.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] ramoncio:
If your main concern is video, I think this is hands down the best device.

It is a quite new chip, so maybe that's why you haven't heard about it.

Here is another review of a tablet with this chip:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2299688

All reviews agree that video performance is amazing. But I'm not sure if XBMC fully supports it yet.

[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] wowandroid:
Thanks theregkid,

can you recommend where i can buy one from?(link?) Also will i be able to attach an external hdd?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Shoarma1998:
For what I've read, there's little difference in the sticks with the same processor. At the moment, the RK 3188 chip seems to be the new standard. There are a few sticks that have it. I've just bought the Imito QX 1: the reason was the simple fact that the former models of Imito were nice, it had good reviews and because it has a metal plate (and no plastic) on the back, which is sort of the heatsink. On top of that, you can attach a normal passive heatsink, which seems to be enough to cool the processor... It then can run the 1080p kernel. Not many sticks have 1080p kernels...Finless (known for the finless roms), did a review on the build quality and he was pleasantly surprised! Mainly because of the heatsink option and of the fact that there can be an external antenna attached to it.

I've read, that for now, there is no hardware acceleration possible for the RK 3188 chip, but maybe in time... And are there ways to play 1080p movies, without HW acceleration? For now I've still got my RBPI...

A review on the qx1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjSgP78HpcQ

Just google on 'Imito QX1 Review' and you'll see some offers right away...
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] wowandroid:
Thank you very much for that breakdown. I'm very happy to buy this, but:-

1. Can the Imito QX1 attach an external hdd?

2. Is it well supported and able to have xbmc?

3. Where can i buy it from in the uk? (Cheapest link please!)
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] Shoarma1998:
I can't posts links here, but see my former remark for offers... there is an usb 2.0 connection on it... just google on specs and you'll find out yourself. But yes, every stick has the ability to attach an external hdd and even more, you can connect it to your NAS.

Don't let things like weak wifi reception on other models fool you. You can order a usb to rc45 cable for 4 euro's.

XBMC is possible, but as mentioned before, it has been optimized for machines like the rbpi. All rk 3188 sticks suffer from the fact that HW accelleration is not YET supported...

The only downside from this stick, for what I've seen now that it is a pain to hook up to your stereo, since there is no audio out connection on the device... Few sticks have it, but the android media boxes have more connections. So you won't have to buy a seperate powered usb hub.

Please be aware that a 2 amp converter is desired, when running this device.

Last thing... the Imito stick has a separate bluetooth and wifi chip. for what I know, this is kind of unique, because most devices have a 'two-in-one' chip. But not sure on this one. Anyone?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] wowandroid:
Thanks for the info. It's a great stick, but from what I can gather, there seems to be very limited support for it. I personally can live with 720p, but i'm worried that it would not be able to handle high bit-rate videos smoothly without any HW acceleration. I can even live withoutout XBMC, so long as the movie plays perfectly and majority of movie formats are supported.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] tomseek:
Maybe I misunderstood, but MX Player on my Cx919 states that it uses HW acceleration to play all my video files. The high bit-rate videos seem to work just fine. Can someone double check this?
