Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard and Case for Android 3.0+

I saw this one advertised and though it looked like a great idea. Ordered one and have now reviewed it.
It has android-specific Search, Home, Back, and Menu keys. There are shortcut keys for the Browser, Email, Contacts, etc.. Media pause/play and Fwd/Rew keys as well.
Have a look. Tell me what you think.

Have it. Love it.
I just REALLY wish it was much smaller. It could be way more portable.

I've got a couple of smaller keyboards, and although they are easier to carry around, the keys are smaller and closer together and much harder to type quickly on (at least to me). I can't see smaller keyboards every being a big hit. Logitech has gone a smart route with this one by providing that case/stand. The smaller keyboards either fold in half to protect themself or came with a cloth bag to slide them into. The folding keyboard suffers it's own mechanism. Clever, but resulting in a cheap feel and bent key plane. Cases that don't serve another function just end up in the way. extra weight you carried. Bring this Logitech keyboard along and you're also bringing along a decent tablet stand.

it really is a nice keyboard but for the price it seems like it could be a bit more solid, and the wedge stand isnt really useful to me since i already have a case that does it for me. I do feel like the case is so nice because when i throw it in my backpack with books i dont have to worry about keys getting knocked off. Also the shortcut keys are very nicely placed and kind of makes me wish my laptop had a dedicated search button.

I want a keyboard and or case i can sit on my lap and hold the tablet

I want this keyboard to, but Logitech will not release it in Europe

Looks like a great keyboard, wish I saw it before I got mine.
Price isn't great though.

I just picked this keyboard up this morning and let me just say it is in every aspect worth the money.
The keyboard is very solid and sturdy, keys have a very nice responsive feel when being pushed down and don't make loud clacky sounds while being pressed which is a pet peeve of mine, they are also split up with just the right amount of space in between.
The case is nicely made with felt inside and the keyboard fits snugly in it. When in stand mode does the job nicely, I can't tell you how nice it is to have the function buttons as well.
Is it a bit on the expensive side? yes. Do you get what you pay for? YES XD.

For the price I wish it'd come with a mouse as well. Seems a bit weird to have the keyboard, yet have to touch the screen to navigate.

I am using this keyboard to type this message. I bought it in conjunction with my tablet, because i need to do quite a bit of word processing. The keyboard works quite well. I would love to be able to move keyboard and tablet around together easily.

In anticipation of buying my tablet, I actually bought this keyboard a week earlier I gave it a test run on my phone running Gingerbread and it actually worked, albeit only 90% (some functions like Home, Search, & app shortcuts didn't work).
I love using this on my A500! When I was deciding which tablet I should buy, I put a lot of consideration into the accessories I would need/use. I wanted a tablet with USB so I could connect my external hard drive. While I do have a couple of USB hubs, which was my original intention for keyboard and mouse, I'm a bit paranoid and would never plug a hard drive into one (I've heard horror stories of data corruption - not willing to risk it). Therefore, my only USB port is reserved for my hard drive, and I had no choice but to go bluetooth for a keyboard and mouse. At first, I cringed a little at the cost of the keyboard, but the fact that it's protective case also doubles as a stand allowed me to justify the cost. Sure, I could have gotten another bluetooth keyboard for $20 less, but then that same $20 would have went towards a stand, so it seemed pointless to go that route.
My only gripe with the keyboard is random disconnections. When the keyboard is idle for a few minutes, such as when I'm reading a webpage, it will disconnect until I start typing again. I say "random" because sometime's it's 1 minute, other times it's 10+ minutes. This wouldn't be so bad, but everytime it happens, whatever is on my screen will completely refresh (same thing happens at the moment of disconnection). I have a feeling it's something to do with built in power saving, but I can't seem to figure out how to force the keyboard to always be connected. I don't mind if it uses more power because I use rechargeable batteries and always have a spare set ready. I've searched for apps to help, and I couldn't find much. Closest I could find was an app called easyconnect, but even that didn't work all the time (although it did improve the connectivity a bit). A major drawback with that app is that it caused interference with wifi - totally slowed down my entire internet connection Still searching for a fix... Thinking I may have to wait for ICS, since there might be more HID settings available. Despite this little annoyance, the keyboard works great and I'm happy with my purchase. This entire long winded post was typed with it
And for those wondering, my bluetooth mouse is the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000, which works amazingly with the A500! No disconnect issues here.

I saw this at best buy. It was on sale. For 50 bucks. I bought it and it didn't pair with my sensation 4g or my touchpad. So I bought a hp touchpad bluetooth keyboard that is for the touchpad. It pairs with my touchpad running webos and cm7. It. Also pairs with my laptop.

I found a Bluetooth Keyboard Folio Case
I found this case on Thursday and got it today That was was double to get it express mail.)
I found it on ebay here
Also on Youtube here
I've only been playing with it for a couple of hours and there are a couple issues I've found:
1) The keyboard charges from a micro USb port. The cable comes with it along
with a cigarette lighter style charging port.
2) Although the keyboard is completely sealed and rubberized silicon, it is unusually
small.
3) The case itself is leather (smelly leather) that closes by magnets. NOTE: if the
magnets are not lines up perfectly, the tends to open, especially when you
try to pick it up by the handle
4) Very easy to sync!! Although it's gonna take a long while to get used to the
small keyboard. Also, I don't know why, but even though you press keys, any
keys, it sometimes won't type on the screen.
5) The power button placement is absolutely horrendous!! You'll need an eyeglass screw driver or a paper clip to move it from "on" to "off"
6) The folio itself is bulky and heavy for something so small.
7) The keyboard is completely removable from the folio. I'm contemplating getting a thinner folio case and just taking the keyboard with me places.
If you have any questions you can do what I did and email [email protected].
Has anyone else come across this yet?
I'll update this as I play with it more.

Wrong keyboard, wrong thread.

MK809IV RK3188-T - Internet problems

Hello there!
I hope some of you could help me a bit! Yesterday I got a brand new MK809IV Android Mini PC
I wanted to install DroidMote Server from play store, but it required root. I tried to go to UGOOS.net and download their rooted version to their MK809IV (They don't look a like, but they had same model number).
It then bricked and after trying 20+ .img-files, I finally found one that could bring me the device back!
But now I can't turn on wifi or bluetooth - It says it does, but it doesn't! :'(
Can someone help me find the original 4.2.2. firmware for my device? I've found some pictures of it:

It works with the device pictured above? How do I install custom Roms pls help

I have the same Mini PC I think
The roms in this post don't work for me. None I have found are the original either.
I'll add photos of my stick to see if they are the same. Maybe someone else has bought the same device and can backup their rom for us.

I found a rom that may work for you.
I just installed a rom I found that works. Its not the original but I can now use wifi and bluetooth and its Kitkat 4.4. It may work for you. It is MTK rom - probably stands for Mediatek which is the chips on my mini pc.
http :// ugoos.net/index.php?route=product/download/get&download_id=47
To install I used RK Rom dumper tool, but there are others. Rom dumper is pretty simple though, just load the firmware and click update. Just have the mini pc connected to your computer in recovery mode. Hold the reset/recovery button on the side as you plug the USB into the side Micro port. You computer should recognise it as a new device and ask for drivers. Run rom dumper go to second tab and click firmware button, choose your rom, then click update. Let it do its thing and the mini pc will reboot a couple of times and it should work.

MK809IV
There is one big problem with the MK809IV which was not in the III version - Heat dissipation. I recently purchased one of these devices and it crashed and recycled to boot sequence. I eventually got it to work, but when I tried the Kodi on line streaming app it crashed, it was an older version, which I removed and updated. I also tried an alternative program Internet Radio (V.Tuner) I found as long as I did not use the streaming apps, it worked, obviously indicating a high CPU usage problem.
By the way that that red plastic slider switch does nothing its not connected to anything
Diagnostics:
I found that the CPU Rockchip 3188 was reaching up to 50C with a thermal sensor attached to the chip. With the open case, I actually got Kodi to work for a few minutes, during that period the CPU rose to above 53.5C and shut down. The chip is a quad core and as such needs adequate ventilating and cooling.
Using an old Pentium Flat heat sink, I coated the surface of the chip with thermal paste and clamped the heat sink to the chip of one corner of the sink. This has to be done out of the case. (Be careful not to damage the reset button beside the CPU) With the heat sensor attached under the plastic hobby clamp. I again ran Kodi and the maximum temperature was around 41C a reduction of 10C after listening to music on line the device work seamlessly for several hours. The maximum temperature reached was 45.6C which appears to be within the tolerance of the CPU chip.
Conclusion:
Poorly designed and inadequate ventilation. No heat sinking of CPU under continuous use. At present I am awaiting seller's response on EBay, have given them a full report of the problem with this model, which many buyers are experiencing.
Solution:
Not recommended to buy, there are now Android Media boxes available for a few dollars more which have a proper well ventilated housing and appropriate cooling devices. With full internet streaming plus DTV PVR and many other functions.
Running a quad core chip in such a confined space is ridiculous! Might have been OK for the earlier single core chips on the MK 802!
Have a nice day: I am a retired Electronics Engineer with 65 years experience in the Electronics and Radio business.

MK809IV wifi fix
Hey guys I was looking around and noticed this thread. Figured I would just drop a message for anyone that has one of these. I noticed yesterday when playing with the unit that the odd time I would actually get wifi reception when moving it around. I took it apart and re-located the antenna. Now I can stream fine from 20 feet away. I posted the fix for you guys here and showed you what needs to be done. If you don't have the red slider like I do, cut a slot in the side of the unit and leave the antenna hanging out of the side. (btw, I just joined and saw the antenna above picture is installed correct, unlike mine was, but I don't have issues with my unit any further. Looks like a different chipset as well)
I still have not resolved the Bluetooth issue, but I think I have an idea. I believe they are using the same antenna for both the bluetooth and wifi which may be causing the issue. I may try to separate them at a later time... but for now it is working so I am not messing with it.
I posted the video.... but it won't let me. Search MK809IV media center, S805 WiFi fix in Youtube if you want to see how to get it running.

Mk809iv rk3188-t
Had a real tussle with the Chinese seller, opened a dispute on EBay and he agreed to refund. Then told me he would send another. After a week of garbage reverted to Paypal dispute and sent it back. Its arrived in China so refund in full will be coming shortly. Fast becoming very disillusioned with Chinese sellers on Ebay, they insult you by offering $1 compensation etc and lie to Ebay about what they will do. If you have any problems, best to open a dispute via Paypal, they are far more efficient and at least you get your money back

Please reupload that rom

[Review] ZGPAX S28 Review!

Hey guys, I recently acquired a ZGPAX S28 and figured I'd share it with you. Some of you may have been around for my development work on the MotoACTV and the Omate TrueSmart smartwatches, among various other phones and tools, so I figured it was time to try my hand at a product review for something that not too many of you have heard of yet.

Let's get down to business! What is it? Well, it looks an awful lot like a Gear 2, but it doesn't run android. However, that's not a bad thing, when you consider its $50 price tag from http://www.gearbest.com, where mine came from. It shipped in a generic "smartwatch" box, as shown in the unboxing video below:

- 450mAh Battery 3.7V Li-ion (Reported: 72 Hrs Standby, 6 Hrs Talk, 8 Hrs Music)
- Micro USB port
- Size 58x39x12.5mm
- Weight 55g
- Accelerometer
- Vibration

You can either watch the video (I'm not a thespian or read the review right here. I decided to wear it for around 5 days prior to writing this, to get a feel for how I'd use it in the real world and how it stacks up to the competition that I have at my disposal. The watch is surprisingly comfortable, as well as stylish. It's very similar in design to the Gear 2, which I enjoy. For reference, I very much dislike wearing my Omate TrueSmart because it is so uncomfortable, but sometimes forget that the S28 is even on my wrist. I plugged it into the wall to let it charge for a little while, with the included microUSB charger, and then connected it to my HTC Desire 610 via bluetooth. I then downloaded the free companion app to my phone, which was also painless due to the QR download code being right on the watch. I basically scanned it with barcode scanner, then sideloaded the APK after it downloaded onto the phone.
Once up and running, you can select which apps from your phone you wish to display on the watch. I used everything from LINE Messenger to my iSmartAlarm home security system. Everything came through to the watch perfectly, and at the settings I selected. If you don't want an app to show up anymore, block it. Simple as that. I found myself blocking Facebook after receiving many many notifications at once and being distracted at work when I didn't need to be. Again, it was all very painless and I was pleasantly surprised. This is something that many Android based watches have problems with. They try to be both a watch and a phone, and can't be the best at either one. I've also had many issues with them not receiving notifications properly, or not receiving ALL notifications that you want to receive, which was not at all the case with the S28.
The watch itself is hard plastic with a metal faceplate and capacitive touch screen that's very responsive to touch, despite what my clumsiness in the video may lead you to believe . I LOVE that it's capacitive for only $50. I was actually expecting much less than I got for my money, to be honest. The screen is bright and relatively easy to read outside. It's not the greatest in direct sunlight, but to be honest, I've yet to find one that is. The only things I noticed myself really wishing for were a shake-to-wake feature of some kind, so I didn't have to press the button every time I wanted to see the time, and a way to remove the analog clock, or at least change it. I much prefer digital myself.
However, again, for the price, you simply can't beat it. My friends were in awe as I showed them the differences between this watch and my usual daily drivers, and I may have even convinced a few of them to give it a try. The watch has 2 functions in particular that I'd not used before, the remote camera and the "anti-lost" function. The first lets you use your watch to actually control the camera on your phone. You can see the viewfinder through the watch and walk around the room to take a picture. Not going to lie, I took a few full body selfies, and no, you can't see them. It worked well, and if you weren't taking a picture, it was also neat just watching the phone's viewfinder through the watch, like a remote security camera. The other feature was called "anti-lost", but is essentially a "find my watch, find my phone" feature, that will let you find the other if you have one of the two.
It has many features you'd find in a typical feature phone, such as SMS, phonebook, calendar, mp3 and mp4 player capability, and an FM radio. The pedometer works well, but you have to physically start it before walking, similar to most fitness apps you'd find on your phone. Again, I was spoiled with my MotoACTV's always-on pedometer. It has a sleep monitor, but I've yet to play with it. Soon, friends, soon. The on-screen keyboard is small, but works well and has many options including predictive text (T9) and handwriting recognition.
I did have one issue with the watch or the phone disconnecting and reconnecting with my bluetooth every so often, but in all honesty, I'm blaming that on the phone more than the watch. It was a cheap phone after all. I will be doing some more testing on that part when I replace the power button on my GS3.
3 things this watch has, that everyone else making watches out there needs to take note on: Built-in microphone, built-in speaker, and vibration function. It's literally a mini phone on your wrist, with decent battery life and talk time. Color me impressed.
If you want to order from the same people I did, here is a direct link. And after speaking to their staff (who are also very nice by the way), they gave me a coupon code for you guys: S28GM, which brings the price down to just under $44. I hope you guys liked the review, and again, if you need to know anything else about it, don't hesitate to shoot me a message! Thanks for reading/watching!

Thanks for the review. There's a review for it already by st7ler, but its good to get a second look, how many days battery are getting from it? Its similar to the U8 Pro, not sure which to buy.

I keep mine turned off at night, and I got 4 days before I recharged it. Not sure exactly how many it'd last though, because I never let it run completely down lol

Thanks. And your typical use for the 4 days was...?
Could you do me a favour and try bluetooth tethering please? [emoji106]

I used it for between 12 and 16 hours each day. And tethering how, specifically? It doesn't do internet pass through, if that's what you mean, but it does receive all notifications through bt tethering. And receives them rather well at that lol

Thanks for the review. Looks good smart watch. Its app connection is stable?

It was stable for the most part, and if it disconnected, it quickly reconnected all by itself. I think my phone was the unstable part.

Shame it can't do bluetooth tethering, it would have not needed a data plan.

@ClearD - are there any functions to control the phone from the watch?

I don't believe so, it's sort of like a standalone watch phone that also reads notifications from your primary phone

It's possible to add new analog look? Or change shortcuts on descop?

Been using it for more than a week and very impressed so far
The best Wacom-based bargain out there right now. Well-built, accurate, surprisingly fast SSD (not eMMC) and CPU. If I were you, I would order straight from manufacturer despite the slightly higher price.

I had some free time so i tried installing windows 10 rtm. Works nice. Was even able to activate it, which didn´t work with 8.1 bing.
Pros: The driver script didn´t work, but i was able to install individual drivers. Seems snappy. Edge browser is superfast. Some benchmarks heaven 4.0: 329 points. 3dmark 2011: P871.
Cons: Couldnt install the reg file for the sensor, so the orientation sensor doesnt work. Windows doesnt allow me to edit the registry at all. The physical windows button works, but there is no vibration feedback. Any ideas?

Another interesting program is ThrottleStop:
Download is available here
The main window gives a brief overview about temperature, package power, clock multiplier and throttling reason:
A click on TPL (Turbo Power Limits) shows different settings to manually adjust the cpu TDP:
(Note: TDP locks need to be disabled in UEFI -> CPU settings to have access here).
The most interesting feature is probably the integrated voltage control, it allows to undervolt specifically parts of the core package:
(It needs further testing to see if and how much impact does this function have on an ultra-low voltage cpu.)

Ok so i´ve tried that, doesnt install any of the drivers. Cannot access the files on mega, could you try reuploading them and i will try them out!
Btw the vibration on the windows button came back by itself =)

---

Thx! The driver install fine. The orientation is upside down though. Ive been playing around with the orientation reg file, but Ive only been able to get the screen rotated 90 degrees to the side. If i do that and lock the screen the accelerometer works in games at least. Asphalt 8 works very smoothly!
There seems to be trouble with the bluetooth as well, it only keeps on searching indefinitly. Maybe a driver issue. I will try to look into it.

My order is from Geekbuying.com which seems to cause much trouble for several Cube i7 buyers.
It was in customs "custody" for several weeks because they declared it completely wrong.
It's probably for the best to avoid Geekbuying.com

I also ordered through geekbuying. The tablet was very buggy out of the box, thats why i went along and tried windows 10. The screen was water damaged with a large dark spot in the middle. I was able to fix it with this trick though!

I agree. My i7 stylus was shipped weeks after they deducted payment, the seals were broken, the screen protector had serious scratches all over it (may have been a display unit), and windows was bootlegged. I would strongly advise against doing business with them.

Thx mate! That reg setting set everything right with the orientation! The bluetooth driver gave the same error, maybe a windows 10 issue.
I also ordered through geekbuying. The tablet was very buggy out of the box, thats why i went along and tried windows 10. The screen was water damaged with a large dark spot in the middle. I was able to fix it with this trick though!

Thanks @Hendrickson

Has anyone opened the tablet?
Has anyone opened the tablet to replace the SSD or anything else and can give instructions on how to do it without damage?

Here there are photos but no instructions

Thanks for the photos. I have seen them before but there are reportedly some pins that are easily breakable so was hoping for someone who opened the tablet to comment on what was done to prevent damage.

I just realized that THERE ARE instructions but Google Translate does a mess with chinese and it's very difficult to understand

Use An Android Phone As A Dashcam

Use An Android Phone As A Dashcam
This is at least the 60th car accident I've been in this year. I swear it's not my fault but as soon as the judge sees my driving record, I'm toast! I've been telling myself that I'm going to get a dashcam for the past few years and I just never get around to it. If a dashcam is just a camera that starts recording when the car is moving, then why can't I just use that old Android phone that's collecting dust in my BDSM chamber? Well now you can!
This will work best with a phone that has lots of storage or an SD card slot.
To convert your phone into a dashcam, you'll want to use the app DailyRoads Voyager.
Download DailyRoads Voyager

You'll want a sturdy window mount to get the best footage. you can find them on Amazon for around $20.
Here are some of the features you'll get with the DailyRoads Voyager app.
Background video/photo capture, with optional buttons over other applications
Auto start and shutdown based on car dock detection and related options
Videos/photos are timestamped & geotagged
Automatically determine street address of retained videos/photos
Display videos/photos location on a map
Display speed, elevation, timestamp and GPS coordinates on videos/photos
Option to change speed units (km/h, mph) and date format
Overheating protection
GPS can be disabled to reduce power consumption
Brightness adjustment option allows less distraction when driving at night
Built-in file manager, video/photo browser
There are several apps that offer dashcam recording but this one definitely has the most useful features. Give it a shot and stop putting off getting that dashcam!

This is a great idea! I am going to try this out with my old phone.

This looks great, going to give it a go with an old phone. One question, can you have the phone screen off while driving and it still records or does it need to be on?

The screen has to be on but you can just set it to be very dim.

AutoGuard supports background recording:

This is a nice idea that maybe 90% of the people already looking for a dash camera thought about.
The real problem here is not finding a suitable application (like the one you thoughtfully suggested) but having your phone actually behave like a normal dash camera: turn on when the car turns on, turn off after you turn off your car. Especialy, not having the huge delay in starting up as every android phone has: a dash camera starts up (I mean from totally off, with a dead battery sitting idly in there) in just a few seconds.
The first problem might be solved with tasker, joining the "charger on/off" event to the video recording app, the second one is not easily solvable IMO.
I wouldn't know tho, since I own a chinese dash camera which sadly has no GPS, but which I paid less than any decent second-hand android phone (16€ because I wanted a "good" one) and worked as intended straight out of the box without any intervention on my part other than setting up the resolution

Well, the solution is not let the phone switch off. I don't think its much of a problem considering the fact that it will be connected to the charger throught out the drive

Pauses when the veihicle is turned off might drain the battery in standby for so long that the phone could turn off automatically. Chances are also that the old phone you put in your car for this purpose already has a dying battery (not that brand new battery won't die pretty fast by being on charge during most of the time)
Unless you take power from a different outlet than the cigarette lighter, which is powered on only when the car is on, but that in turn will drain the very own car battery, albeit it's got way more power reserves, but still a overdrain risk if your car stays off for long periods.
Having to remember to turn the phone off and on again when you need it is still bothersome, plus as I said it will take some time to be operative when you turn it on.

I thank the op and others for bringing up the two suggested dashcam apps (DailyRoads Voyager & AutoGuard Dash Cam), and I agree that a phone doesn't "act" like a built-in dashcam (e.g., go on and off with the ignition switch) but I wouldn't expect an Android dash-cam app to be as good as a built-in system anyway.
It just needs to work, where I'll test the two suggested dashcam apps on my next road trip, but I will note for others first that I had to loosen my FOSS Google Play Store client to even find the two suggested apps above (both, unfortunately, require GSF and both even more unfortunately, contain ads).
DailyRoads, free, contains ads, requires gsf, rated 4.1, 1M+ installs
AutoGuard, free, contains ads, requires gsf, rated 3.8, 1M+ installs
The goal, of course, would be to find a dash cam that is at least as good as those two but without those two unfortunate developer decisions (which I understand why they choose them).
UPDATE: The AutoGuard Dash Cam app requires a login to a mothership which, even though it allows for "guest", seems like something an app suggested for general purpose use should never need, given the obvious negative privacy implications. Maybe someone can expound on why it needs any login to anything when all it's supposed to be doing is recording onto your own personal device.
