[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Wow, youre the first ! Thats a Klyde, i was told theyd be on sale in April, was expecting them to be delayed - been checking their Alibaba shop for a while and cant see it listed, even today.

I was told they would use the same software and hardware as the other units, apart from the Rk3188 SoM and from the listing looks like it does (apart from the launcher), cant say for sure yet though.

Some of the problems youve listed have affected the RK3066 units at some point.

Not heard of the first one before.

Ok Google used to work but since the last 2 updates has not (dont use it myself, but thats what others have said), so youre doing well that it works sometimes thats assuming you meant that Google voice works only sometimes when you say "google app", if you meant the search angine, not heard of that before..

As I ve been told that everything else on the quadcore units is the same as the dual core, its likely that the wifi unit is the same and that the wifi issues will be the same, theres loads of info about it on here, use the thread search function, not had any problems myself.

Not heard of a problem with the DVD region before, though these units were region free.

For audio only in try the headphone jack on the front if you have one, if not, I m not sure, I ve not heard of the problem before or tried it on my unit.

For better radio signla you either need an antenna booster or a power injectopr - check the base of your factorty antenna, if it has a power lead you will need a power injector (the factory headunit would normally inject power into the antenna lead for these, aftermarket units dont), if you do not have a lead at the base of your antenna you need a booster, DO NOT buy a cylindrical shaped "booster" as power injectors are often mis-sold as "boosters".

If yours is 8Gb ROM the ROMs here may work, but theres a risk that it will brick your unit. If its 16Gb ROM then it probably wont work as the partitioning will be different.

Did you get 2Gb RAM and 1026x600 resolution ?

EDIT: just read the listing and it says 8Gb ROM/1 Gb RAM/800x480

His is the quadcore version, he is the first person to get one on this thread, it is mostly the same, apart from that it has an RK3188 SoM not an RK3066 one, the hardware and software is the same, apparently, I ll get more info from Klyde on Tuesday.

I ve got a Klyde and it does have a fan. Rockchip's chips can heat up dramatically, but usually only if overclocked.

I d also get a small heatsink as well and stick it on the CPU , they cost peanuts and some come with heatproof 3M tape so you just stick them on - I ve got an RK3188 TV box and I stuck some on there just to be safe, not had any over heating problems with my Klyde, though, maybe cos of the fan.

If the sticker is broken it will deffo void your warranty but I dont think anyone takes the warranty seriously because of the cost of returning to China, the manufacturers do send out parts if theres a problem for the user to fix themselves though, so I wouldnt worry about warranty.

I guess youve got to decide whether you want to send it back as not working or take the chance that the lack of a fan is the problem, been no mention of fans in the thread for a while so dont know how long theyve been made without fans, maybe others could chime in and say whether they have a fan or not, if most people do and dont have your problem then get a fan, if a lot of people dont have a fan and dont have your problem, then send it back !
