Android Tv Box Flexiview FV-1

[FV1_Arg]

From what site did you buy it and how much? Because I am interesting in this device too...

I'm not sure I could give you the information on this forum, send me a Private Message, and i will give you the link of the seller I had used.

Regards.

Have you installed Superuser?

Thank you - That was the problem! Too spoiled installing pre-rooted ROMs on my phone (where SuperUser is always present).

My FV-1 finally arrived!

2) Tried to connect a BlueTooth keyboard/trackpad combo (Rii) and even if I manage to pair, it just says "Paired but not connected" after pairing.

are we you sure it's not a fake ?
perhaps one a fake
I look tonight to manipulation

Installation On your desktop:
- Insert Driver CD and open the CD from "my computer"
- Open Android folder and copy the "android.apk" file into your Android's memory card

On your Android Device:
- Open "fileManager" software and tap the MENU button

The fish time you install the Bluetooth Keyboard Driver on your Android device, you'll see

The kbd works quite fine with Windows 7, and i actually managed to connect it to FV-1 using Teksoft's BlueInput. Even if I can hear keypress sounds from the FV-1 when I press a key on the kbd, no characters appear

Perhaps it's a fake - No driver CD was in the package. I'll try your driver. Thanks!

you can choose the type of keyboard Android Or RII

Thanks - I'll try that. Not at home atm, but come Sunday, I'll have plenty of time to tinker with this. I'd really like to have this work, as it's a nice kbd.

My FV-1 arrived to home. I went to pick it to customs office, and could get it after paying u$s 30 in taxes.

As far I could notice:
- english lang as default
- wifi connected ok, wpa2
- market worked fine, got widgets, backgrounds, etc.
- twitter app crashes, facebook ok
- youtube, browser, etc. all working fine
- remote control/mouse EATs batteries
- gotta get some movies for testing, but first I prefer getting a wireless key/mouse because typing on this thing is a pain in the a**

 

[interfreak]

Congrats on receiving it!
Yeah the remote does love batteries I've noticed. Still waiting for my wireless keyboard to arrive.

I've made 3 videos

general view, hd test (bad, bad, bad)

I wonder if hardware could play sometime (maybe with an upgrade or future rom) HD without problems... Although I guess this thingy lacks graphic processor for doing that without problems, right?

I NEED HELP!!! I purchased the FV-1 back in March and I cannot get the WI-FI to work. Once I had the WI-FI connected then lost power and have never regained WI-FI access. I have tried everything I know how and reloaded update after update. The WI-FI continually turns on and off repeatedly and never picks up my connection no matter what my router settings are. Can anyone help? Does anyone know where the WI-FI programming is in the data folder and what I could fix? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Nice videos kabeza!

Kernel Version
2.6.32.27

Build number
rk29_gingerbread_v1.28_0614

On boot up it says R-BOX
on first run there was not lot of programs so i installed most of them,
first problem was market, it crash every time i run it, even when i go with explorer to market i could not download nothing, then i find new market i think its 3.03 and everything work perfect now with market!
Now second problem is live wallpaper, i tried few and neither one work, it crash every time!
Next problem is Weather widgets it work but i cannot load the city or region, so there is nothing....

These specs make me believe it's not a Flexiview FV-1 at all...
rk_29 looks like it's a RockChip device of some kind - Perhaps this?

No it is not, the box is smaller then flexi, the remote is smaller to and not very much usable and comfortable, i attach wireless mouse to it!

I heard that the Gingerbread can not be rooted, is that right?

yes it is Rockchip rk2918

 

[ZilverZurfarn]

No, wrong. If it's possible to root or not has nothing to do with Android version. (I have a rooted 2.3 phone) Anything is rootable - It's just a matter of someone proficient (and interested) enough gets his/her hands on the device and starts looking into the matter.

 

[interfreak]

The device you purchased is not the Flexiview but the inferior Rockchip device. I suggest you start a new thread for it?

Thanks for reply Zilver
Can you please give me the link or suggestion for rooting this box, maybe another root tools

No, sorry. I'm not that proficient. I've never trusted "one click" root tools, but for FV-1, z4root acually worked fine (once I understood I had to install SuperUser too). Who knows - Your device may for all we know allow root access. Have you tried SuperUser, and su from terminal?

 

[ZilverZurfarn]

- Insert Driver CD and open the CD from "my computer"
- Open Android folder and copy the "android.apk" file into your Android's memory card

Ah - That's the BlueInput from TekSoft I already tried (and actually found worked, once I selected BlueInput in the Language and keyboard setings). But I'll try this one too, as the track pad still doesn't work.

Yes i installed Superuser and when i run it it download new su to sd card in zip, what i need to do with it, i need to boot in recovery mode, how i do that?
sorry i read all this post from first page and i am not some expert but i follow all your posts and i do most of what you guys described here
