Geniatech Enjoy TV

roobarb, FYI, ICS is still in some kind of beta-phase or pre-release. there is no guarantie that all will work. and, on the other hand, ICS is "hungry" for resources, and it is problematic to work on 512mb of ram. so, no need to be surprised!
 
I am new to this forum, but I just bought a Enjoy TV ATV 2000 which was on a clearance sale and I came here for a visit to learn more.
I upgraded it to the latest Android 4 from Geniantech website straight from the box without using installed version.
Not much worked and I thought it was a piece of garbage, as most application failed, even youtube app did not work.
Shame because I liked the layout of V4.
So I decided to go with latest 2.3 version. Now I am happy, all applications tested work well. Even managed to stream from my Lacie network drive and from Astone media play HDD including a 2TB USB disk attached to the Astone media player. Also the TV dongle which came with it did not work with V4 but now does with V2.3.
I am now quite impressed with ATV2000.
So anyone with problems probably best to stick with 2.3 OS and wait to see if Geniatech come up with another Android 4 update.

With the exception of the HiDVT dongle I have only had a few apps that did not run as expected. Most of these, on reflection were not for ICS

I assume that the range of apps that I use are most likely different.

As to YouTube, I simply downloaded the latest version and it runs without a problem, although I do not like the new GIU.

I intend to stay with ICS and am expecting an ICS HiDTV app to appear shortly.
 
Hi,

I'm trying to connect an ATV1000 to a 70" Smart Board (from Smart Technologies). The panel has a HID profile (Win XP recognises it without drivers) but Android seems not to take an notice. I've tried both 2.3.4 and 4.0 without sucess.
Using "USB Host Controller" the device shows up and checking using "Root Explorer" the device appears in proc/bus/usb & proc/bus/input - comes up as input with handler for mouse.
Not sue what I need to do to make it work?? I was hoping the USBHID driver would just do its thing. Anyone got a suggestion????
Cheers
MJB
 
I wouldn't know martyjb try contacting Geniatech and see what they say. If your own Android 2.3 try out Android 4.

These boxes are modified versions of Android for use with TV's & remote controls, touch input devices via USB are reported to only partially work if thats what the smart board is.

i don't know what did you read in description, but it's only question can you or not connect it to your's tv set. android stick will work on any tv, in which it can be plugged in. as simply as that.
 
Hi, everyone.

I bought my NB010 in Brazil from a vendor called Multilaser, which I believe from the pictures I've seen that it is ATV2000. It could be a great box... if Android and its apps didn't suck!

It came with Gingerbread and I update to ICS immediately. Netflix worked ok (version 1.8.0; version 1.8.1 from the store didn't) when I updated Flash to version 11.1.115.8. No pixelated image. DVD quality image.

However... I can't use any browser. All of them crash if I am using Flash player above version. If I revert back to 10.2, then browsers work ok, but then Netflix gets all pixelated and horrible.

I already tried Gingerbread and although it is fast, it goes with the same problem: Flash 10.2 and Netflix just don't agree to work together.

Did someone have similar issues? Is someone here with Netflix working ok with the hardware accelerated flash 10.2? Is it possible to hardware accelerate Flash 11.1 so that the crashs can stop. Can you please tell which version of Netflix you are using with 10.2 if this is possible?

that's better.

but. amount of ram doesn't have influence, esspecially if it is bigger. problem will be if you try to flash device with 256mb ram with flash-file for 512 and/or 1gb ram.

so, you may have wrong spi installed and/or wrong patched flash file (if you cooked it by yourself).

in device info find what model is your box. update files on this topic are mainly for M3 device. so, start there. if it is presented as m3, there is something else. if it is not, than you must find appropriate flash file for your device.

heeae probably has the ATV310B which has 1GB DDR3 RAM and AML8726-M3 chipset (instead of AML8726-M1 chipset which most people have)...

The M1 firmware (like the 20120606 one you tried) will not work on your box.

I also have a M3 box and I'm looking for firmware.

Keep in mind Android 2.3 will not work on this box. Amlogic says only Android 4.0 firmware is supported on it (trust me I tried).

Thanks.

Edit: Also don't get confused by the "stvm3" naming convention in the build.prop file. The ATV1000/ATV2000 with 256MB or 512MB DDR2 RAM is definitely a M1 device.
 
any updates/info where/when to be able to get Dual-Core players? hope they are not gonna be too expensive, as i keep my eye on Odroid, a qoad-core mini pc. its powerfull as samsung galaxy 3, which is capable of playein 1080p no problem, and much more. can run android or linux. tempting...
similar to Odroid is Kontron KTT30, just with nvidia GPU (like hts one x) instead of mali (like samsung galaxy 3), but more expensive. plenty of alternatives...

There are about 3 companies making chipsets intended to be sold to consumers as Android TV devices, Amlogic, Allwinner and Rokchip. All of them have dual core designs in the works, Rokchip has launched theirs but Rokchip aren't popular outside of Asia. Amlogic/Allwinner has customers in the rest of the world so the Amlogic 8726-MX/M6 will probably be the first you can get your hands on. I'm pretty sure Pivos (the XBMC partner) have such a box in the works.

More powerful chipsets like the ones from Samsung are much more expensive and seemingly much more difficult to bring to market (look at the FXI Cotten Candy). Things like the Odroid are intended for hobbyist developers not consumers.

Most of the big boys like Samsung or Qualcomm seem content to leave it to smaller Arm vendors for Android TV devices.

The Ouya is an oddity but I suspect Nvidia are backing that with deep discounts, the Tegra 3 chipset is very expensive normally $30+, in comparison the All Winner A10 is $7, Amlogic 8726-M1 $13.

It arrived today! I have updated it to 2.3, don't think I'm going to bother with ICS.

I'm going to see how it goes streaming from my NAS and then try to find a working webcam and I'll be happy - for now!

Does anyone know what ATV model it is?

It's the ATV2000 which is no longer listed on the Geniatech website. I have one, it's barely any different from the ATV1000 other than being black and it came with a TV tuner. The 1000/2000 has been replaced by the ATV1100 which has the newer 8726-M3 chipset and runs Android 4 out of the box.
