Geniatech Enjoy TV

kekin · Nov 2, 2012

Hi, I'm not new to Android but really new to this TV Box thingy.

I just got the ATV310 and Im really happy with it. But there one thing that how to turn it off completely? I mean totally off so I can turn down the electric and go to sleep.

Cuz the power button on the remote as well as on the player is just get it to sleep state and turn on right away with one click. I tried to hold it down for some secs but it just doesnt off.

Is the player supposed to work that way? And Im not supposed to turn it off?

I know the player has root access but it seems like doesnt have the command to turn it off cuz none of turn off app from Play Market worked. I can reboot it though.

Thank you guys

@kekin:
I don't have that model, but my atv1000-equivalent has a power button on the front that I rarely use. My 1000 barely gets warm.

Looking at photos of the 310, it seems there is no power button.

So you can probably leave it on without affecting your electricity bill.

kekin · Nov 2, 2012

@jschall Yes, it does have a power button. It's the IR receiver also play as the power button. And also on the remote, there is one too.

But when I click it, it just turns off the screen, just like with an Android tablet or Android phone. But holding it down for a while doesnt bring on anything to shut the thing down :mad:

Hi guys, I am new here, and I ask for a little help...

I will get my Geniatech ATV 1000 tommorow and I want to have the latest firmware onboard.

So, can anyone tell me, where I can get a good complete 4.0 Firmeware, with Google Play Store Support? Is there a update.zip which I can download, and easily update in the build in firmeware?

Thanks a lot, and by the way, great work!

if you run into troubles on this firmware try to go back down to 529..
mine does not like the 730...just goes all gaga on me and slows down to a crawl..
then starts crashing..usually almost straight away..
there is also a mod version in this thread..

Guys i'm kind of getting crazy with the m3 enjoy tv box (Geniatech atv310) till yesterday it worked fine now i only get video but no audio, and under settings devices sound i only get digital audio output and never again the sound settings that allowed me to adjust volume please guys help.

dgcruzing · Nov 3, 2012

you need to offer more info..
whats the output you are using? HDMI
whats the software version?
have you tested the cable with another device?
or
hate to say it..
have you reset the ROM again to see if that fixs it

I killed mine today, I think by upgrading busybox via the busybox update program..
got the big green man inside the blackbox as a mouse curser..which is painful as there is no way to get the pointer back..
I even tried to flash one of the pointer zips..didnt like it..
so had to reset the box..once again I tried the 730 versions..but my box didnt like it..
so its back to the 529..as its stable for me..
I see is a new one out..thinking of grabbing it as I am here in China so can have it up in a few days to play with..
here are the specs..

Dual Core ATV520 TV box also has ARM Cortex A9*2 CPU, frequency is 1.2GHz-1.5GHz, RAM is 1G,built in 4G flash memory.

I'm using hdmi for everything video and sound, i get video fine, and till yesterday night i had audio fine too, i upgraded to updateM3_20120827.zip lastnight and it was working quite well (only netflix wouldnt load) i have tested the cable with my blueray and it works fine, and i brought the m3 box to another TV and had the same problem, i have restored factory defaults and nothing, i have reflashed the last zip file, and nothing, i wonder if there's an internal damage but it kind of baffles me that if something was damaged then why i get video over hdmi but no sound.

As i said under the sound settings i only see pcm digital sound nothing and i can change that to raw but it wont return me the sound control or bars that allowed me to adjust and i have no audio in any application.

can only suggest go back in the software to the version that was working and see if it comes back..
but before you do..make a few wipes via the recovery panel..you can go back a few pages and find my post and grab the app from market
that will boot you into it..
its painful we dont have a proper TARP or CMW recovery where we can do wipes ourselves and have a bit more control..

arangaran · Nov 3, 2012

the version that was working was the current one i have i dont know what happened that it stopped working sadly, i'll try to get the app u mention i'll have to first find the post u talk about though i wonder could this be some kind of damage to the hardware? i dont see what could be changed in software after flashing the same rom it should have restored to a known configuration

Airplay only applies to Apple TV.

Do you want to send video from your Android phone to your Enjoy TV?

If so, there's an app for that!

You are correct, AirPlay is an Apple TV program however there are some similar apps:

Although not AirPlay, the following site lists similar apps

There are similar apps from an Internet search

I had the same problem of the big green man as a mouse, someone told me not to use busybox you don't really need it, first you need to wipe data/factory defaults & wipe cache partition & re-install the ROM (old or new) again because the normal uninstall doesn't remove it completely.

yes, seems to be the case..
I went down that track as wanted to download and install a program..
for some reason it would not let me install anything off any of sdcard or USB..
tried the same file off the same Samba to two other android devices and proved that the file was fine..
so I tried a fix permissions script to see if it would fix it...no joy..
thus it was a fresh flash..and reset up

Thanks for your help, I am asking that if there is any app can turn android TV box to an Apple TV like airplay receiver/render/player?

@Dual_HD:
I still don't understand what you want to do.
1) What Android TV box do you have?
2) What Android Smartphone do you have?
3) Do you have video or movie files on your Android smartphone that you want to view on your Android TV box?

If 3) is ''YES'', then check out iMediaShare and Skifta on the Google Play market.

lads, did some one find where to buy the dual core version of geniatech products (or any other)?

As I am in China I rang the company on the new dual core they are advertising.. But at the moment it is not in production. Also as a oem supplier they won't sell to individuals.

I also sent them a email asking for kernel source release so that we can use droidmote.. But as yet no reply..
If you guys could also send them emails to add the 'uinput' module into the kernel they might get the hint that it is a desired add on.

dgcruzing · Nov 6, 2012

Here's a copy of the email if others want to send it to their sales and support email..

MOST VERY IMPORTANT !!!!!!!

3: Kernal Sources - I see on this box it it limited to 800mhz with only one scaling governor allowed to be used.. I use Antutu CPU master to set this normally on my other tablets and phones. Also CPUspy does not work..

Can you release the kernel sources so we can work on this ourselves to improve performance of these box's?

the other reason we want to get this is so that we can run DroidMote Server & Client

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details? id=org.videomap.droidmoteserver&feature= search_result#?t= W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy52aWRlb2 1hcC5kcm9pZG1vdGVzZXJ2ZXIiXQ..

as we need the UINPUT MODULE IN THE KERNEL LIKE MOST ANDROID DEVICES

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? t=1292627 http://www.videomap.it/droidmote-faq.html Please look at no 24,25,26 Links to the discussion with the developer on your box's and software.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php? p=31257698&postcount=901 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php? p=31453052&postcount=917 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php? p=31575803&postcount=946 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php? p=31659450&postcount=965

If we can get this going on your box's then you will make many, many people happy.

I also have this frustrating problem but is does not seem to appear with my Android tablet.

I think that the problem is with either the box hardware/chip and/or its dependency on the special version of FlashPlayer 10.2 required which I understand is a special "software accelerated" version.

Both point to a deficiency in the hardware/chip which there may not be a software fix.

Thanks, but your answer doesn't help.
I have ipad, and I want to airplay my video on my TV, but I don't want to have an Apple TV for 99$ only for this utility, what can I do?

jschall · Nov 8, 2012

@Dual_HD:
Do you have an Android media player? If so, which one?
