RE: Android and Ethernet - yella-pine64 - 04-10-2016
I put a 100mb switch in my network for the sake of using the pine. With the 0216 android image burned with phoenixcard I am able to Android somewhat. The launcher crashes quite a bit and seems generally unstable and laggy, but it works as proof of concept.
Kodi was able to see the hardware decoding features and stream a video from my NAS just fine. Plex crashed almost every time I tried to use it.
TL;DR: using the android image and a 100mb switch I'm able to use android, somewhat

If it's could help.
Runned on sun50iw1p1_android_db1000_uart0_0216.img
I connected the ethernet only after started Google Play and he tell me that I don't have any network.
Launcher3 crash when I use the Square button.
Anyway I put him back in his box. We'll probably see a fix in 2-4 weeks.

wow quite a lot of activity in here, seems like a lot of people have a few problems. Personnaly i have the 1GB version and internet does work, it's just horribly slow, i guess the problem comes from the software....
RE: Android and Ethernet - flash - 04-11-2016
same problem here...
each day I'm more and more frustrated with this "cheap" POC.
this isn't android, it's bugdroid. nothing is working, everything is crashing, but I must admit: it lights very nice for a board that doesn't do anything.

Are you connected to a gigabit hub/router?

I get it that there is a problem with Gb network, but whole android is unstable.
I'll try another, different card.

if you at least wrote which image you were using it would make the post less useless

I have Pine 64 2gb board (without BT+WiFi) installed official Android (Release 20160216). I have 150 mbps connection at home. When I first installed the OS and downloading apps from play store had a good speed. After installing Kodi and some plugins and trying to play movies from Exodus I felt suddenly nothing was loading then I tested speed using speedtest.net it showed terrible download speed (0.1 mbps down/ 6mbps upload).
Yesterday I reset the Andriod OS still had slow ethernet issue at home. Now I am at my in-laws place and they have 3-4 mbps connection. Getting 1-2mbps download speed
. Not sure what is the cause for slow ethernet at home (I will check again once I go back home)

A suggestion for you and everyone else trying to test their Ethernet speed. Stop using 3rd party websites for benchmarking your Ethernet. At any given second any of the "test partners" that speedtest uses can hav an issue and you wont know. This will directly affect your speed testing.
In a typical speed test with speedtest.net you can have issues from;
Test device (the pine in this case)
Ethernet cable
All hubs, switches, or cables between you and the gateway at your ISP
Your ISP
The internet backbone
The server hosting the speed test for speedtest.net
That is a lot of potential points of slow down, incompatibility and failure.
Think in more scientific and controlled terms, get something like iperf which is also meant to test speed. iperf 2.x runs on just about any platform. There are versions for Windows, Mac, Android, DD-WRT, just about every linux variant out there. iperf v3.0 is newer and not backward compatible with 2.x. Its simple to use. I have it on my desktop and my laptop. If I want the desktop to be the server, I simply issue the command;
iperf -s
then on the client machine
iperf -c <ip of the server machine>
so in my case that is 192.168.0.104
Here is my result
Code:
pine64user@debianpine64:~$ iperf -c 192.168.0.104
