Hi everybody.
I received my mojo friday, and everything was going well. I rooted it, and it was fine.
But now:
1) yesterday i noticed that mojo didnt connect to my home wifi (before yeasterday it always worked), so i tried to "forget" the hotspot, i tried to switch off the wifi connection and so on, but nothing happens. My laptop, my phone, and my xbox360 working fine. What could i do?
2) last thing, about my tv, that cut the edge of the mojo screen (i cant see navigation bar, so i couldnt see if there are any notification or whatever.. ), i tried to change the screen setting on the tv menu, but nothing happens.
So, im sorry if i posted some stupid questions, but for this kind of stuff im a real noob, and i hope somebody could help me.
Thanks for help!
I'm not much help, but did you install the latest firmware? I've only used the first and last firmwares and had no real problems with wifi, but other people have mentioned wifi issues with other firmwares here.
As for your screen problem, one of the early threads in this forum talks about tv settings you can try to change. Each TV is different, and my off-brand tv didn't have the options mentioned in the thread, so as a result I can't maximize the screen size.
Good luck!

Hi Welcome
# as P901 said upgrade to the lastest firmware (although I prefer v202 because of the running apps 'MadCatz' button works better)
ftp://86.54.116.234/pub/software/mojo/firmware/
If you have ouya and onlive, then your' already on the latest.
Try a hard reboot (off/on)/plain mode & and forget settings
#2, overscan, search the forum for it, you'll need to find your TV's manual and turn it off
Thank you guys!
By the way i solved the problems with wifi and the ctrlr.. The wifi problem was given by the wrong data and hour.. I unplug everything before going to sleep, and this will reset the mojo clock. Anyway i will download that firmware..
For the tv.. Mine is a 32" inch by haier, there are some screen costumization (automatic, zoom 1, zoom 2, 16:9 and 4:3).. But when i try to apply nothing changes. I saw on the playstore, there are some app who change the screen resolution. Do you think this will work even on a tv?
Little edit.
I checked my version, and is 205.. I have Ouya, but when i try to install Onlive from the market a message says that is not compatible with my mojo.. WTF?!
Somewhere in the mojo settings their is the option to manually resize the screen, sorry I can't be more help than that. Its been about 8 months since I did mine. Just search the options menu hard.
Also in options go to about devise and click about devise 7 times in a row to enable the developers options the same way as you do every android devises to enable the extra options in case its in there.

Weird tbf the mojo is half arsed but its compatible on mine running 205. If when you do get it working make sure before you log in on the first menu, go to settings and change the screen quality from 1080 to 720p this will drasticly reduce the input lag experienced on the mojo. Hate to dissapoint but onlive is no where as smooth on the mojo as it is on the micro console or PC app am afraid and has horrific input lag, driving and shooters are nearly unplayable at times.

with the latest firmware, in google settings you can change your resolution.. but it wont fix your overscan issue.
RE onlive, it's only available in the US(canada??,EU??) , everywhere else SOL
I noticed after root on 205 firmware, the play store didnt have as many apps available, now I use Market Helper, see my modern combat post.

I keep the dongle in 'line of sight' with the controller for better performance and bettery saving.
I have my mojo under the tv with the back (USB ports/cables etc) facing me.
You might have yours somewhere obscured?
And the controller lags bad on low batteries
About Onlive, ok, i sideloaded it from the market and its work really bad. Looks like watching an old vhs movies at slow mo. ahahaha And anyway, i could get an account because im not from USA.. :/ Whatever.
For the tv, ok, i will wait to have money to buy a new tv, probably around christmas time. We will see.
In the next days i should receive my blutooth keyboard, write on the android keyboard with point and click is a very pain in the ass I cant tell im satisfied from my mojo, now, but i see big potential on it. Wait and see..

I think the lags between the action/button on the controller being pressed it registering and completing on the online server then the footage what you've done being streamed to the console.
Just saying there's a noticeable difference between the onlive MC and mojo when it comes to performance.
Vomit or had you changed the screen quality from 1080p to 720p at the first menu screen before you log in? That should help stop it looking like a vhs tape. But won't help with the controls.

Hi, I have one question.
If I have the permanent root from churli (I'm sorry if I miss-spelled it..), do I just updated it regularly? I used to update all the firmwares by just downloading the firmware right on my A70 and install it right away.. but will that work if I have the root? I just rooted my A70 yesterday...and I'm a newbie haha

I just followed Steps 2, 3, 4 of Chulri's post. Chulri already has the new files for "fw 2.3.26 +rw" for Step 3. I like the optional Step 4 because I don't have to worry about holding down the volume button everytime I boot to get root.
Hi,
Has somebody tested this new release?
I updated to version 3.2.20 last week and I was very happy when I realized that cinema plugin was not required to play all the formats which I was not able to before the update (AAC, AC3, MPEG2, etc)
Can somebody confirm if this has not been "fixed"?
Thank you.
Well I have tried this new release and all I can say is bootloop, oh and to top it off I think that my right speaker has blown.
Archos I hope you're reading this, you need to sort your firmware releases out. Whilst you're at it Gingerbread would be nice. If you can put it on the Arnova with inferior hardware you have no excuse but to port it to the 101.

I just noticed the update when I went to the archosfans 2.3.20 bugs thread to report wifi drop powersave disabled while running tunein radio...
OTA update went fine, just waiting for A43 to charge up, then I'm going to do the A32 as well...
[EDIT]
Power LED blinking -> UI batt meter (and About Device) say 98% charge...
had this once with 2.3.20 showing 97% when LED blinking but next charge and thereafter showed 100% when LED blinking...
[/EDIT]
I had this Problem from the first day.
LED blinks and the battery show around 90%.
If i unplug the power the status goes to 98-100%, most 100%.
If i reboot the device with plugged power, the status is 75-90% after restart.
Sometimes the status falls to 87-91% if i plugged the power in.
I can live with it, but it is annoying.
did they remove bluetooth PAN tether ? I had dun/pan option while setting up BT tether with 2.3.20. but now no more that option. the probken for me is, i am using cdma phone(bell htc touch) but with BT DUN the Archos cannot dial CDMA number #777. I set bell APN (pda.bell.ca) it's not working. Actully even if it works I worry about it because it may charge me more.
Before with 2.3.20 , it worked perfect with BT PAN and my phone set to Internet sharing.
This update cleared up my waking-up issue.
It's pretty much an instant on now after the monitor idles off. Before, (after being off for more than a few minutes) it was a crap-shoot as to whether or not the screen would come on and I often had to fight with it and double, triple, quadruple tap the power button to get things alive. No longer.
still reboot cycles problems when charging the 101..problem started with these last 2 updates.
twit.tv app FCs all of the time with this fw...
I wonder why they released this one OTA as it seems to be more broken than .20 was...
youtube and many other flash video played in the browser hangs after about 15 seconds or so. Soemtime this causes the whole system to freeze requiring forced reboot.
This is the worse build so far, my A70 was most stable at 2.1.08.
Wow. I am having the exact opposite experience with this firmware. I find the browser and flash to be very solid. Before I could never play even youtube mobile in HD without it freezing and forcing a hard reboot.
Also, i'm having less general freezes.
I am still having absolutely no luck whatsoever with tethering to my Android phone (cliq). It's driving me crazy cause this was one of the main reasons I went with Archos.
Have you guys done a full reinitialization? That's what I did and, even though it's a pain to reload all your files, it might help with many of the problems you are having.

As a matter of fact I did an Android reset to get away from some of the problems I was having with bootloops and such. This has helped with the general performance of the 101, which I'd say is down to the 64mb swap file I now enjoy.
I did have a couple bootloops until I enabled a lock screen pattern unlock and I have now experienced nothing but fairly good performance
It seems that 2.3.26 is different from vesions before

You'd probably be better off posting in the archosfans.com forum's bug list thread for 2.3.26 as Archos employees actually monitor that site and have actually even started some of the buglist/fw release threads... i.e. I'm not sure that they're even aware of the xda-devs gen8 section and even if they were would they bother to read it...
I'm writing here out of frustration that I've been having with the Acer Iconia.
So I got the tablet about like early last week when it went on sale at Target. The tablet of course came with 3.0.1 and I waited a few days for it to receive the 3.1 update but it always gave me the "your device is up to date" thing. Ok fine so I'll just install the update myself so I updated to the latest version (4.010.11) using the update.zip method. Yay so now I have 3.1!
But of course the problems aren't over.
Before and after the update I had problems with WiFi (unable to connect because of looping) and I'd usually be able to "fix" this problem by resetting my router and modem. But what about when I go to college or any outside public place? I won't be able to go to them and ask them to reset their damn router -___-.
And the other annoying problem: the mic. Yes I've searched about the mic problem and looked at every thread that was created about it. It has to do with the noise canceling, etc. But I can't really video chat when the mic has crappy quality. Ok so I decided to go back to Target and exchange it for a new Acer Iconia (which I did yesterday).
When I got it and opened it, it seemed to be packaged a bit differently than the older tablet and seemed a bit newer (in comparison to the old packaging). And as soon as I connected it to my WiFi, an update appears!!! Cool so as I'm setting up the tablet, 3.1 is downloading in the background. Once it's done and the Tablet resets, everything seems cool. I try out the front cam using the stock Camera app and there was a moment where the camera only showed some odd green screen (as if it was unable to connect to the camera) and in a few seconds everything was cool. I even tried the mic and it was much better. I took it out with my to my friend's place and was able to connect to his internet with no issues. And then I went home and connected to my WiFi and once again it did the looping issue . I tried ignoring it and just reset my router (I tried assuming that it was my router's problem since my computer also has issues sometimes when it comes to reconnecting to WiFi after it turns on from sleep mode).
So then I go to sleep and wake up this morning. I decide to check for an update on my tablet for lulz and to my surprise there was another update (4.010.13)! Go through the update process with the power plugged in, android gear thingy keeps going, and the bar looked like it stopped moving 95% of the way and the tablet reset. So then it turns on and it says that all apk have been loaded but I don't see the "update successful" msg. But then I check "about tablet" and it appeared that it had updated successfully. *whew*
But of course another problem appears. Remember how the front camera had a slight moment? Well I tried using the front camera and it gave me that same green flickering screen and wouldn't show. Once again it appeared to have a problem connecting to the actual hardware camera. I tried force closing the camera app and opening it again but it didn't fix anything. Tried closing and opening the tablet but it didn't fix the problem. Tried pressing the reset button but that didn't fix it. And of course I decided to reset the whole thing but that didn't fix it! And I tried using the front cam with the Google Talk app and it still didn't work (still gave me the green flickering screen).
BLAH! Should I exchange the tablet for another Acer Iconia or just give up on it and get a different one? I honestly like the build of the tablet and all the features it offers (like the ports) but those issues are just stopping me from fully enjoying the tablet and being able to use it for the purposes I got it (video chatting, WiFi, etc.)
EDIT: Here's a video of the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuAhgWQgCq0&feature=channel_video_title (Ignore the "4.010.13" in the title. I didn't mean to say that all 4.010.13 tablets will have this problem; only meant that my tablet was on 4.010.13)
I'm on my second iconia and absolutely love it. The first was almost perfect, but battery wouldn't charge beyond 88%.
I've tested out every possible thing about it, and everything is completely solid.
To exchange it for another iconia or something else is entirely up to you. I'm just telling you that what you describe I don't experience at all. My wifi connects instantly to whatever signal I tell it to connect to. My cameras also work perfectly. Mic also perfectly and makes me go through to the other side just fine. In fact, I've been using the iconia to have conferences with people I know to discuss about our plan to take over the world.
The point is there will always be a black sheep in the flock. Even the ipad 2, apple's star product and the most sort after tablet right now, is getting reports of problems left and right. The most common seems to be light bleeds and face time freezing.
Go for another tablet if you feel like it. Your choice. I'm just telling you there's such a thing as a perfect iconia, and I have it.

I understand and respect your good intentions. I'll think about it through out the day and I might exchange it for another Iconia. If another problem arises then I'll just check out another tablet.
Also I added a video of the problem at the bottom of the original post up there ^^^
The wifi issue was an atrocity that affect(s) a lot of people. Mine did it one time right after the 3.1 update, I did a fix on the tablet and it never has done it again, and since the latest update hopefully won't.
It does appear to me that something is wrong with your camera however. Mine has never done that and it does not appear to be a software issue. I think there's something physically wrong with the front facing camera - loose connection or something.
eh maybe the stockboys took their liberties with stock the shelf with iconia. Maybe just have the manager open one up with you and check those eature out before you leave the store. Mine has been great.
All the honeycomb tablets have their issues and run the same hardware so your not missing out leaving this tablet or keeping it. only thing is atleast the xoom gets updates fast(if your subcribing to verizon but the wifi version is not that far behind anywhos)
I keep hearing people complain about the mic, luckily that isn't an issue for me though as I don't use my tablet for video or audio chat anyways And surprisingly I haven't had the WIFI issue either, it has worked like a peach all the way from the start. The only issue I've had with my tablet has been the fact that it took Acer forever to release EMEA_GEN3 firmware update, nothing else so far.
Maybe I've just been lucky?
After watching your video, i can say is a hardware fault. Exchange again the tablet and check on the store that everything works. Mine works wonderful and I love this tablet.
I have two Iconia tablets and confirmed that both cameras in each tablet work in 4.010.11 and 4.010.13.
I've also not had an issue with wifi. If this is an ongoing issue, it might be an incompatibility with your router.
For the camera, most likely hardware defect, mine doesnt have that problem. For the wifi, however the update supposedly fixed it, but if you have the same problem as I do, root your device (its easy!) And download an app like es file explorer and go into the settings and enable both root settings. Turn off wifi, and in es file explorer delete both files in /data/miscellaneous/dhcp. Sounds like a pain but it really only takes thirty seconds and fixes it for a few days. As for replace versus a different unit, I recommend getting another iconia. I compaired all of the tablets hheavily, and all of them have their issues. The iconias issues, however, are by far the easiest to deal with
If this post was helpful, give thanks
I to have had not one issue with my tab. Well other then a few things I screws up.that camera issue looks like bad hardware or the cable from the can to system board is loose.I did drop my tab and found the connectors inside were not secure for video.I took mine apart. Take yours back since you just got it.tell them to get you one from a different box or take it back to a diffrent target store.
I once bought a awesome TV from Walmart I returned 4 of them was going to get a fifteenth brand but decided one more try.I went across bridge into Jeff Indiana walmart exchanged it. And never one sec trouble was a bad batch at the walmart 3 miles from my home.
Sorry for such a long story in blonde giggles
Just like every other product in life, sometimes we get lemons - not just lemons, rotten lemons.
Your A500 may be an example of a rotten lemon. No way to even turn it into lemonade.
You said you've done a factory reset and you're on the newest build of software, there's basically nowhere else to turn and nothing else to do. As a customer, you've done your part. I would say, do an exchange and as I think I glimpsed someone else mentioning, open it up and use it at the store. Check for hardware faults. Mind you, slow GPS locking and Wifi issues may not necessarily indicate a fault, but that camera issue definitely does.
That is of course, IF you want another A500 anyway. At this point, no one here could blame you if you wanted to try on something else. In your place, I probably would. Once bitten, twice shy. I give every brand 2 chances when it comes to a product. If I end up getting 2 duds (and I've only had this happen ONCE) that's where I draw the line and I gladly move on to something else.
Good Luck and whatever you decide to do, hope to hear from you again with your results...either loving on a new tablet, or loving on a working A500.
WOW Sorry to hear you have had so many issues. I bought my wife one for reading and web surfing for her birthday and she and my daughter got me one for my birthday. My kid has a Galaxy and she had some of the issues you have had with the acer. Granted she works at best buy and they had some issues with that lot she had bought hers from. I have khad the wifi issue at first and went to the acer web site and installed the fix from them before i had rooted mine. At first i had to do the reset thingy with a small paper clip. But have not had any other issues than that. I would do the return thing at a diffrent store maybe you got into a bad lot. I hope it changes for you.
Do a double reset (paperclip in the reset hole with power on) and power cycle. Then restore the factory settings under the security menu, which will also wipe all your settings and data. This solved all the probs my son was having in his A500.

That sucks.
What's strange is that after flashing CWM and re-setting up my wireless adb it loaded up just fine. Not sure what's going on so I'll chalk it up to gremlins and confirm that it's not a large-scale issue with everyone.
it was the first game i downloaded when i got my machine yesterday, and it gets to the title screen (i assume) with the press any key prompt and then goes back to ouya game menu. Cant get it to work at all.
Cleared the game cache/data/uninstalled etc and no luck. I have not modded my ouya in any way.
Hey, I'm the developer of Beast Boxing Turbo, found this thread with a google alert. Sorry to hear several of you are having problems.
Are you all using USB keyboards or third party controllers attached to your OUYA by any chance? If so, can you see if the game works if you disconnect those, restart your OUYA and try again?
I've had a few reports of crashes when USB keyboards are connected but haven't been able to reproduce the problem on my end. If it IS a problem for you please post the details of the hardware you have connected. Thanks!
You know what, I do have my Motorola Nyxboard usb remote/keyboard combo attached. Sometimes I have to restart my Ouya launcher to make the Ouya recognize it so the fact that BBT started working after I flashed CWM (and thus Ouya didn't recognize that the controller was plugged in) kind of verifies your assessment.
Thanks for stopping by, love the game!

No problem, glad you like it! For everyone else in this thread, the new update doesn't crash any more if you have a bluetooth keyboard connected! I did run into some problems with a USB keyboard seizing the first player position, but it shouldn't crash. That might just require a console reboot and activating the controller before plugging the USB keyboard in. I reported it to OUYA as a bug so we'll see how that goes.
I got a "minor" OTA update yesterday or day before. I apologize for not writing down what was fixed. Anyone else happen to write it down?
I am happy to see Nvidia keeping its promise to have regular updates.
That's great! Hope to see it soon
It's still 4.3?

Hi,
Just got the update to 4.42 kit kat.
Got some error messages as it updated but seems to have worked OK.
Have lost root and cwm though so will have to reinstall both.
I am in the UK too.
Cheers,
Drc
same here! live in germany but got UK advent vega tegra note. it's 4.4.2, 460.1mb.

Rebooted my tegra note, noticed there was an update. Saw the numbers (4.4.2). Started freaking out.
Hope it will work - stuck at 1/4 for 20min now.
e: works. awesome!
Same here, also in the UK.
Some observations.
The new game controller mapper is excellent so far. I just created a profile for Epic Citadel and it works well. I'm using a Moga Pro Controller in B mode. We should now be able to use controllers for games that don't natively support them.
The bug where unmounting an external hard drive through settings/storage would also partially unmount the microSD card seems to have gone, though I've only tried it once.
The bug when using an external keyboard via Bluetooth or USB OTG where the 'auto correct', 'double tap space bar' and 'auto capitalise' options in the external hardware keyboard section do not work, remains. Shame.
The problems with HDMI out also remain, where video output that was smooth under the original firmware (4.2?) has micro stutters. No idea why, my movies aren't even HD. Also, the ability to zoom in in MX Player to force HDMI output to fill the edges of the TV screen that was possible with the original firmware (which was very useful indeed) has not made a return in this update.

Same thing happened to me then it suddenly completed. I had a bit of a panic about it ?
exactly like that. anyway, I might have just noticed something that's a huge bummer to me - I can't find battery percentage for the statusbar??

I can't find it either.
I'm not sure I like the KK keyboard either....I want my apostrophe back on the first page
NOVA 3 still thinks we have Nvidia Shields so touch controls don't work. I haven't tried clearing data on the game or reinstalling it though.
Modern Combat 3 no longer works....
So, i flashed my tegra note back to stock and now im stuck on the welcome screen because for some unknown reason my wifi refuses to connect to any network and just sits on obtaining ip address. I have tried flashing a boot image, i have tried wiping again, i have tried rebooting.
Edit: Fixed it by using advanced options to put a static IP.
Got My Update to KitKat
I got my update late yesterday afternoon. Whole thing went without a hitch, though it took a long time. Then when finally done couldn't get it to work (things wouldn't open couldn't swipe to another screen, and stuff like that), so rebooted, and then it was fine. I'm really pleased that Nvidia got KitKat 4.4.2 out this fast. Good job, Nvidia!
Just wanted to mention too that it does seem faster, reality? Maybe not. Swiping screens, and multitasking is definitely smoother.
Me Too

I don't like not having the battery percentage either, and I don't like the white icons, but it is what it is, I guess, that the way Google designed KitKat.
I was using my nexus player a little while ago with the remote that came with it when it suddenly stopped working and now the LED light constantly flashes. I have taken the batteries out and put them back in, still the same result. anybody have an idea what that means? maybe indication the batteries are dying?

For whatever reason your remote lost sync with the NP. If you go to settings near the bottom, you can re-sync the remote in accessories, I believe (not in front of the player at the moment). If your remote is listed there already you can remove it then redo it. This will require pressing the Home and Back buttons at the same time to put the remote in discoverable mode.

Ah yes! Thank you! I did not even think about that!
This has happened to me multiple times. It is annoying. I wonder is anyone else is experiencing this.
It might be possible you hit the Home+Back buttons at the same time, putting the remote in discovery mode.

I'm having the same issues listed. I've tried several times repairing. I have been using the Android TV remote app on my phone in place when it happens. Thankfully DroidMote server just updated to support the Nexus Player and works awesome! You have to be rooted but it makes the Nexus Player so much easier to manage with the option for trackpad/gamepad/remote all in one.
EDIT: I've also tried pairing a bluetooth mouse but haven't had success. Maybe it has something to do with the mouse I have. I bought it in Japan and it's an Elecom brand.

This happens to me quite regularly (every week or two). Luckily I have my phone setup as a backup remote, so I can fairly easily re-pair it, but it really makes the Nexus Player seem very much like a beta-quality release.
Seems that this is more that just a coincidence. Still no fix.
