I was about to ask for help with a baffling issue - I've been using it for months, when all of a sudden it crashed (without error - right back to launcher) every time I tapped "WiFi" on the main screen (and often the headunit server would stop as well, but not always). On multiple devices, with...

If you're a Kodi user with an Android phone, I highly recommend installing the youtube addon for kodi, and installing the yatse remote for kodi app. Once you've done that you can use Share > Play on Media Server (an option enabled with a Yatse installation), and it will cast it to the Kodi...

"DSYJ Micro USB Host OTG Cable with Micro USB Power"

I decided to try to see just how far I could push this micro-sd port that is claimed to be "for power only". Turns out, pretty far. And without even using all that specific gear - just some random junk I wasn't using for anything else. I already had the following: A Unitek USB 3.0 Hub +...

Not comprehensive, but did grab a bunch of samples with some key differences (264/265 8/10 bit, 1080p/2160p, 60FPS) just to see what this stick could handle. My test bed was MX Player with the all-in-one decoder pack. Smooth Playback via HW/HW+ - h.264 8bit 1080p - x.265 8bit 1080p - x.265...

well I did my own homework - tried a chintzy 8GB stick with fat32. Didn't notice anything when I attached it - but when I pulled it I got a message saying "unexpected removal - to remove USB drive properly, go to Device > USB drive in settings" The funny thing is: there is no such place called...

Hi everyone! I have an OTG cable (with power passthrough) which I attached to my newly acquired fs4k. It worked for a remote w\ propietary dongle I had lying around, so I know it works in general. But the FS did not appear to recognize the 64GB SD card (formatted EXFAT) attached. I couldn't...

I've found the easiest way is install apps2fire on your phone/tablet. Install the apk you want on that - then it will upload/install directly to the stick (turn on adb in dev menu on stick) - I tjhink it might require the fire tv remote app as well. it can also copy files.also, do a voice...

Good to know on OTG! I tried something different to deal with wifi - I was using a tasker profile to start/stop hotspot based upon bluetooth connectivity, but I think that might have killed the hotspot at random times (minor break in bluetooth connection). I use the profile manually instead...

Just received it - before ordering it, I saw some mixed messages on media playback, so I decided to conduct my own semi-scientific tests - meaning grab a bunch of samples of typical media I consume (tv/movie/anime) with some key differences (264/265 8/10 bit, 1080p/2160p) just to see what this...

First off: I've been really enjoying this app! So much to love about it, especially in a car where it would be highly impractical to replace the headunit - and honestly the cheap 8" tablet I bought for it is much brighter and nicer than any monstrosity I could add to my car, (which are super...

Hi all, I am stuck on a logo, but can't even get to recovery, nor boot from SD/USB, and the toothpick button doesn't work as designed - it didn't appear to even before I started. Is there another way out of this pickle?

First you should confirm your model number - mine is the standard wifi-only module - SM-P900 For that model, the instructions at the top post of this post worked fine (don't use instructions on the lineage page - they're complex and people like me had problems getting them to work)...

Update - totally worth it! Buttery smooth. Odin method was actually pretty easy. Got nervous when the first boot took about 8 minutes, but it landed eventually.

SM-P900 used to see a folder for the tablet, and another for the SD card. Is this an expected limitation?
