I got mine few days ago. Seems like this stick is getting more and more popular. Everything on this stick is very smooth. HD streaming from my server via WLAN works perfect (1080p mkv files too). Was hoping for more 3D performance but it´s still OK. GTA Vice city runs perfect.
But I am having trouble with gamepads, pretty hard to get them to work correctly. GTA is the only program where the XBox controllers work like they should after I used xpad.ko from the arctools app. USB/BT Joystick center doesn´t recognize any sticks I plug in. Still testing though...

1080p stream perfect? I couldn't even get 720p to stream!

I used samba and ES file explorer.

Any better way to suggest?

guys please help. geekbuying.com has abandoned its customers. there is ZERO tech support. all they tell you is "hello friend, sorry you are having problems. do you want to buy another unit?"

so i will NEVER buy another item from them. very poor quality and non existent post sale service.

my problem is i upgraded to the latest version of firmware and all of a sudden my bluetooth audio output is not working. i can not hear anything on any of my bluetooth headphones. wanted to make phone calls from the unit and listen to music via bluetooth headphones. please help!!! :cowboy:

What firmware was it? How did you upgrade to it, SD card?
There is a custom ROM out that might fix your problem.

I don't think that you can expect tech support from an online store....contacting manufacturers and providing newer roms from mx1 we can only thank to geekbuying

these cheap gadgets are not the best quality and there's almost no support for them...that's why they are that cheap...

I have recently bought a cheap USB 2.0 hub with integrated LAN adaptor (depicted below), which is based on the RD9700/QF9700 LAN chipset and which according to the item description should "support 100BaseT performance". Luckily the iMito MX1 detects it properly (currently running iMito_MX1_V411_130204).
However, while the USB hub actually delivers appropriate data rates the LAN adaptor does in fact only support USB 1.1 (USBview.exe shows "bcdUSB: 0x0110" indicating USB1.1) which limits its LAN performance to 6.7 MBit/s (net data rate) despite my switch indicates a 100MBit/s full duplex link.

What bothers me even more is that it causes my iMito MX1 to freeze once I transfer larger amounts of data. In contrast to that it works flawlessly on my PC, so I can rule out a hardware issue.
I wonder if this is a general problem of the driver for the RD9700/QF9700 chipset or its implementation on the iMito and if other LAN adaptors based on this chipset (like the blue one depicted in the attachment) are also affected or if it is somehow caused by the specific hardware design of this combined device.

If you take it apart you should be able to tell. What does the boot logo say also?

geekbuying.com is a serious seller who obviously has close ties to iMito as they are always the first to release new ROMs, so you shoudn't be worried.

how do i find it out if i have a genuine mx2 imito? i ordered from geekbuying
mine was an imito mx1 from VALI
http://www.amazon.com/s?me=A3L21YNSYLFCL8&rh=p_4:iMito

If you open it the reset switch is missing. It is actually located under the plastic on the other side (luckily)
but other roms for imito mx1 don't seem to have the right wifi/BT support for this board. The wifi was horrible anyway so I don't really care.

This is what my board looks like.

You can see a switch on the side. I think some are missing it but you can bridge the pads and get it to reboot to bootloader (or figure out how to get ADB to work w/ it).

I might put together a suite of tools for mac to root/upgrade these.

MHL

Latest PC sticks from Roku and Dell supports HDMI MHL which doesn't require a USB power source. If iMito is limiting processing to 1.2 Ghz, does it really need 2 Amp power adapter? I have Samsung smart TV which have 1 Amp USB power source. I'm thinking at which point it will complain that power is not enough when using only 1 Amp.

Hello fellow stick users. I have a small question I didn't see in the comments. I run out of room very quickly. How can I get the apps to install to the SD partition instead of the regular memory? I tried going to applications manager and moving to SD card but from what i remember being on the gs3, that feature is no longer supported.. I'm confused why it splits the memory up but installs everything to the smaller partition. I don't want to buy an SD card for this thing because all I use it for is streaming and light gaming when I'm bored so help a guy out please. I'm on 4.1.1 stock unrooted mx1

If you have several usb ports can't you use two male to one female adapter, the ones that comes with 3g usb modems?

Hi there,

I'm considering getting ones of these soon. I wondering if it is possible to get a separate audio out (preferably RCA) from the device so I can run an audio signal to my stereo? Is it as easy as getting a hdmi 1 to 2 splitter and a hdmi to RCA cable?

cheers

Heads up, My imito mx1 fromAmazon was fake. It was a UG007 in an aluminum imito shell. the reset button on the board was missing (if you try to put a paperclip through the hole youd probably short a chip), used different drivers, etc. Whn it boots it says R-BOX

Sorry to hear that you have been sold a fake. I did see that Amazon thread about fakes before ordering my own MX1 from Geekbuying, they had a notice on their site saying that the MX1's they were shipping out were all genuine from the factory, so I ordered a black version around the first week of March, and that's what arrived 7 days later. When you boot-up the Imito you should see the IMITO logo, any thing else is probably fake. If your considering an MX1 Geekbuying are OK, free delivery to the UK took 7 days, and was trackable.

i have the same fake imito stick. unfortunately for some reason it isn't able to boot now, don't know why. i want to back it up but can't find a tool which can extract the content from the stick while it is in rescue mode.
is it rescue mode when i connect it to my pc while holding reset button?

is there a tool for that?

thanks

Even if it's fake, I think it still uses RK3066, and if it does you can recover it. Why not post in this thread ... I can't post direct links
