RE: Tronsmart Prometheus-An inovative Android Mini PC - eskro - 2013-03-02 looks like it, just 1 post in here and its in the tronsmart prometheus board, lol RE: Tronsmart Prometheus-An inovative Android Mini PC - psxwizz - 2013-03-02 Like i stated if you want if for XBMC not angr birds lol it works fine as i have tested this unit, there is a few bugs but the company have stated a new firmware will be released withine the next week or two fixing most of them This looks like a new company with a new product, You will have bugs with new products, but at least they are trying to address them unlike most other android media boxes on the market, Also my av works fine so you must have a duff unit, send it back No i don't work for them, i am someone that purchased one for testing their hardware You are right about the gpl licence, that is shocking What i do find on boards is more whiners then productiveness But don't forget the amount of bugs pivos has on their units, go on buy one of theirs, then you will complain like crazy I know i have one lol RE: Tronsmart Prometheus-An inovative Android Mini PC - Vissontech - 2013-03-02 There can not be no bugs in any new item, especially Android, as its short history on XBMC with only about half year, clients please be patient with us, we are sparing no efforts to offer you better service. Thos who do not like it, Sorry for did not meet your demand, you can just go away to Pivos and get their device, as refered above bugs, there is not 100% perfect, but at least we are working with it, sure to solve it, leave us some time plz. Sv: Tronsmart Prometheus-An inovative Android Mini PC - fremar - 2013-03-02 This latest xbmc firmware and own xbmc build do play 1080p without stuttering. But it only plays from sd or usb drive for me, just wont start playback from smb shares. And still totally useless as a mediaplayer as it plays the sound out of sync on every mkv. And still no working ac3/dts passthrough to the reciever over hdmi. So its still just a 99$ doorstop here.... RE: Tronsmart Prometheus-An inovative Android Mini PC - j1nx - 2013-03-02 So where are the sources of that xbmc build? Don't tell me they are violating the fourth GPL license! Is the xbmc foundation taking actions? RE: Tronsmart Prometheus-An inovative Android Mini PC - eskro - 2013-03-02 Funny part it, they keep deleting this guy's posts each time he talks about overheating issues on their useless FACEBOOK support page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tronsmart-Prometheus/111480955686030 they don't want the world to know about the fact that this box can't play games without it freezing on you!!

RE: Tronsmart Prometheus-An inovative Android Mini PC - PatrickVogeli - 2013-03-03 seems like a crappy pirated chinese device.. I'm afraid this is too common nowadays. I also vote for a separate android and/or ARM forum.. this is getting ridicukous, every month there's a new TOP android device for under $100 which is absolutely great with XBMC running efortless and trouble free and, oh, wait, no... no so trouble free, but we are "very near",really!

Its definitely a crappy poorly designed overheating android device one should avoid buying!! RE: Tronsmart Prometheus-An inovative Android Mini PC - psxwizz - 2013-03-03 Sounds like you lot have the first generation of this box I have the 2nd gen and do not suffer the problems your are talking about The 2nd gen boxes come with a heatsink on them now There is no freezing with games AV is fine The person that has lip sync issues with usb or sd with MKV, check the speed of the card you are using, mkv are very large files I also had this problem and found with a usb hard drive it worked fine without lip sync issues, just with my class 4 micro sd card had this problem as it was too slow when jumping to different parts of the film RE: Tronsmart Prometheus-An inovative Android Mini PC - ED-209 - 2013-03-03 (2013-03-03, 08:47)psxwizz Wrote: Sounds like you lot have the first generation of this box How can one ensure that they receive the 2nd generation box when buying? RE: Tronsmart Prometheus-An inovative Android Mini PC - psxwizz - 2013-03-03 Just ask the seller, they should know what version they have, But the 2nd gen have only just started being shipped with heatsinks from the manufacture, So i would be a bit careful at the moment, also there has been a few hardware modifiations with the 2nd gen, not just heatsinks put on them It shows on tthe main board what gen it is, plus if it has a heatsink on the chip then you would also know, unfotunatly that is the only way off telling as there is nothing on the housing showing which version it is But like i said the company that you purchase one from should be able to tell you RE: Tronsmart Prometheus-An inovative Android Mini PC - noggin - 2013-03-03 (2013-03-03, 17:47)psxwizz Wrote: Just ask the seller, they should know what version they have, But the 2nd gen have only just started being shipped with heatsinks from the manufacture, Just like they should provide you with GPL sources no doubt...

AVOID EVEN THE SECOND GEN!! P/S: i wonder what 3rd gen will fix lol RE: Tronsmart Prometheus-An inovative Android Mini PC - davilla - 2013-03-04 HAHAHAHA, so I guess the idea is wait until a bunch of unsuspecting people buy the defective 1st generation boxes, then pray that the 2nd generation boxes work as advertised... oh wait, the 1s gen boxes were also advertised as good. Sounds like good way to throw away money. |
