for those that were lucky and the reseller could change it to 2.3 firmware device now users has reported the following issue.

Measy x7 android 2.3 producing static hissing sound when playing mkv with dts and ac3 sound format.

they are saying that they will release a new firmware. what can we expect... a very bad 2.2, incredible 2.3 has similar issues plus the static hissing sounds while playing mkv thought dts.

incredible this guys are definitly not serius. they don even test basic functions of the devices.

UPDATE: ANDY FIRMWARE IS SUPPOSED TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH MEASY X7 PLAYER THAT HAS ANDROID 2.2 INSTALLED BY DEFAULT.

Hello to every one!!!! I find software with Android 2,3 which is fit to Measy X7 player. The software still not pirfect but way better work then X7 soft.
Main problem with Android 2.3 is, software can not support original remot control. Need to conect X7 to wireless keybord or mouse. If anyone know how to fix this problem please contact me and I will give a link where is Android 2,3 can be download.
Thanks

Andy; i doubt the firmware is android 2.3 but is not the last version provided by measy.

to make the remote controller work you can do the following test. (i have not tested yet)

1 -root theh x7 it with z4root application . (it was allready posted here in this thread)

webpage: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
4zroot download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=446145&d=1290341328

2 - install "Es file explorer"
webpage: http://www.apktops.com/es-file-explorer-1-6-1-1.html
download: http://dl.apktops.com/app/201202/ES_File_Explorer_1.6.1.1.apk

3 - open Es explorer and configure to be root and mount /system as R/W
howto: ES file explorer go to settings scroll down, at the end you will see Root Settings with 2 options Root explorer and Mount File System check both.

4 - go to directory /system/etc/ there you will find a file called remote.conf make a back up of the file.

5 - edit the file.

get to the following lines and comment all of them.

Code:

[B]#amlogic NEC remote    new ir_rca_newpic[/B]
#new keyboard
[B]factory_code    = 0xfe010001 [/B]
work_mode          = 1
repeat_enable = 1
release_delay    =    150
debug_enable     = 1
reg_control    = 0xfbe40

key_begin
        0x0F 11
        0x42 2
        0x0e 113
        0x10 4
        0x07 5
        0x40 6
        0x0b 7
        0x1D 8

        0x14 120
        0x15 121
        0x01 116
key_end

to comment them you only need to add the Symbol # in the first character of the line.

example:

Code:

#amlogic NEC remote    new ir_rca_newpic
#new keyboard
#factory_code    = 0xfe010001 
#work_mode          = 1
#repeat_enable = 1
#release_delay    =    150
#debug_enable     = 1
#reg_control    = 0xfbe40

#key_begin
#        0x0F 11
#        0x42 2
#        0x0e 113
#        0x10 4
#        0x07 5
#        0x40 6
#        0x0b 7
#        0x1D 8
#        0x16 9
#        0x1A 10
#        0x09 97
#        0x04 15
#        0x45 14
#        0x0d 103
#        0x05 108
#        0x0a 105
#        0x08 106
#        0x5B 48
#        0x57 46
#        0x54 32
#        0x19 125
#        0x00 104
#        0x02 109
#        0x06 102
#        0x0c 119
#        0x67 122
#        0x1c 123
#        0x14 120
#        0x15 121
#        0x01 116
#key_end

Then un comment the following lines like im showing you.

Code:

#amlogic NEC remote [B](this line should be keept commented)[/B]
factory_code    = 0x40400001 
work_mode          = 1
repeat_enable = 0

        0x09 10
        0x0d 97
        0x0B 103
        0x0E 108
        0x10 105
        0x11 106
        0x45 15
        0x13 125
        0x42 102
        0x40 119
        0x41 132
        0x15 104
        0x1c 109
        0x43 113
        0x1f 123
        0x1e 122
        0x4d 116
key_end

6 - Then SAVE and exit.

7 reboot the device.

if you have luck you will be able to make the remote work.

But speed is extremly slow.

keep in mind that this firmware.
1 andy is the only person that has installed on his device.
2 the remote controler does not work by default. we need to play arroung and learn how to make it work. che this thread i ave posted a possible solution to this issue.
3 lets wait andy if he can do what i have suggested and see the result.

im uploading the update.zip to a mirror so it can be downloaded faster. when i get the link i will be sharing it.

UPDATE: here it is the udpate.zip uploaded to 8 different mirrors.

I downloaded the file and updated my X7 with it. It installed no problem. I can confirm as well that the remote doesn't work, only the power button.
Still has the same issue with my LG LCD tv, where the screen cuts both end of the screen, but is better than the factory firmware.

I agree with you about emailing the seller and manufacturer (more like OEM as they can't even make a proper working box). Like all of you my seller still haven't responded to my email nor has Measy and this was near the end of January. I got contact from within this post.
The seller should be ashamed for having these for sale in his or her website at this moment.

I would never buy any of Measy product again, nor buy from the seller.

Thanks for all your effort for trying to fix the problems.

tatubias · Mar 17, 2012

Fnally my x7 died. I will no be able to help any more. Due a lightning.

Please test my solution for fixing the remotecontrol.and letus know. I think it should work. This is my second measy device an i will never buy one from them again. The other was not able to get m update it had electrical issue and died too.

i have being providing more support to the users than the compayit self. They don't even reply my emails.its a shame.

Im very sad i.have spent tons f hours with this devi ce fixing some outsiders and now that we got abetter software my devce die.

tatubias · Mar 18, 2012

here it is a easy way to do the remote controller tweek you can test it.

(you have to have the x7 rooted)
1 - download the file: Download remote.conf from Mirrorcreator - Upload files to multiple file sharing sites
2 - back up the original file on /system/etc/remote.conf
3 - copy the downloaded file tinto /system/etc
4 - chage the attributes from the new file as it was in the original file.
5 - reboot the media player.

open the case???? you need to press the button only.

you will not be ablet to get the hd out unless you break the case.

to open the case un screw the 3 screws from the back. pull the bordes out and unlock the case then pull back. ( i did break my case doing that but it was TOOOOOO tight to try to open it

)

the hd case is sorrounded by metal so you will not be able to pull it out. you will need to figure it out how to unlock the hd an pull it out.

send pictures.
