Android Tv Box Flexiview FV-1

[ZilverZurfarn]

Found! Thank's!

To aid you in this, I've found a couple of apps in Market (don't remember the exact names atm) that shows keycode when you press a key on the keyboard. Armed with his, you can start modifying the keymap.

has october 2011 firmware. not the geman one. should i update it ? anyway i don't want to fiddle with mine too much and will let it go for $75 ypal + $10 shipping. would have to ship right after christmas but works great. there are two usb ports in front and 1 in back the cover for the front usb ports got unclipped off, though it doesn't look bad, or as if anything were missing. you can add another $15 for the sdcard. it should be good quality i paid $45 for that sdcard at CVS. controller in good shape. batteries in place were brand new. pm me if you'd ilke it.

anyone know if the last fimrware on the previously ilsted firmware index page is more current than Oct 2011 non-german ?

thank you

if so i'll flash it to latest.

Flexiview FV-1 - Get MORE APPS in the Market!

My FV-1 with the latest October firmware was not able to see many popular apps in the Market. This included apps such as Facebook and Gmail, and many many others.

After performing the following, I have access to these apps in the Market and all is well!

----------------------

Settings -- Applications -- Manage Applications
Choose All
Choose Market
Force Stop
Clear Cache
Back out, choose Google Service Framework
Force Stop
Clear Data
Back out to the homescreen, run the Market (it should fail - that's what we want)
Reboot
Run the Market again (it might fail again - this is OK)
Wait a minute, then Reboot
Wait at least one minute after the system boots up, then retry the Market.

---------------------


Enjoy having access to more apps!!!!

Cheers,

Pez

Hi
it may be possible to fake the market by changing the build.prop file
you need to have your device rooted but it is so easy on flexiview with z4root !
The lines to change are :
ro.product.model and ro.product.manufacturer
for example you can have HTC Vision for model and HTC for manufacturer
For some devices it is necessary to change the fingerprint

the build.prop file is located in /system

I tried to change product.model and ro.product.manufacturer but not work, this afternoon I try to change fingerprint.

This is Samsung Galaxy Tab's fingerprint

ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/SGH-T849/SGH-T849/SGH-T849:2.2/FROYO/UVJJB:user/release-keys

Hi
Noticed your website only around a week ago.
We've been testing Chinese Settop boxes since July - around 14 of them and counting.
The best so far is the FV1 with the Samsung processor.
We've been in contact with the manufacturer for the last 4 months.
Providing them with streams to test, getting them to install Adobe Flash 10.3 and modify browser to be in Desktop mode rather than Android mode.
They tested the streams on the new FV3 model - but are going to modify the ram and the circuitry to facilitate better performance TV streams.

nice but where to buy ?

Got this box from china from direct factory without any brand .Remote is different from the image. Initial reports
The best
1. Plays all the video format with 1080p without any disturbance with very good quality
2. Skype works well with usb camera and mic. (have to do some more research)
3. Sleek design
4. Nice display with smaller icons
5.Android 2.3

The bad
1. Air remote not great (infact very poor )
2. box heats a lot
3. No application backup or restore
4. only 2 usb slots
5. no apps displayed in app market (may be my country problem)

Another thing is the same company manufactures the fv 1 box i will ask the supplier to release the upgrade for fv 1 lets see what they say
.

hello. What about playing hard 3d movies and bd iso?

 

[ben1]

Hello,

I'm playing for some time with the Flexiview box now.
I have realized that many apps are only able to access the files on the SD card, and not on an external USB hard drive.
I was wondering if it would be possible to "cheat" the apps by mounting an external USB hdd in /sdcard ?
It would allow to have a kind of 'virtual' sdcard of nearly unlimited capacity.

Any idea on how to do this ?

Hey mate,
Can you download the FV3 firmware also from that FTP and share it on another fileserver, it is impossible for me to download it from that FTP.
Thanks.

EDIT: Never mind it took me 14 hours but finally got it, I'll upload it soon to multiupload service if someone else need this.

Downloaded... too late...

Attention! Not For FV1! FV3 only.

 

[DrGoodvibes]

I'm looking for any updates for the FV-1 Android TV firmware.
Is the current thought that firmware U110781_1111070_HW is the latest availabe.

 

[ben1]

Hi,

Does anyone has a working cifs.ko module for the FV1 ?
The purpose is to mount cifs (samba) remote shares in the filesystem and make them available to all the other apps (not only ES file manager ...)

Thanks in advance !

Hi...my FV1 cannot read my sd card. Whenever i insert the card i've to push it in and hold it for the FV1 to detect and shows 'mounted' on the screen. Everytime i reboot it does not detect it. Have to repeat the process again. Does it require a certain sd card format? Has anyone experience it? Thks...

 

[ZilverZurfarn]

Happened once to me too. On the other hand - I reboot once a month (tops) so...
Try reformatting the SD card (FAT32) - Might help.

 

[DrGoodvibes]

Does it require a certain sd card format? Has anyone experience it?

Not had a problem myself and I do reboot quite often using a Logitech K400 keyboard and a Crt-Alt-Del
My class10 8GB SD card is formatted as FAT32.
