My 2GB A64+ arrived today, and after trying and failing to get the Phoenix image to work (it just sat at the "powered by Android" screen) I tried the rooted 32GB Android image and successfully got to the desktop. I'm using a standard 64GB SanDisk Ultra UHS-I card (Win32DiskImager claimed the 64GB image would not fit on it) and am pretty sure it's genuine. I have wireless USB receivers for keyboard and mouse connected and nothing else, and it's powered by a 2 Amp Samsung adapter, so that should all be OK I think.
The system is unbelievably slow. Just navigating the settings screens takes ages as the app freezes or locks up repeatedly. My mouse freezes at times for a few seconds, then comes back. Chrome gave me a black screen with the "this app is not responding" message, but eventually loaded. After some persistence I was able to activate Wi-Fi and add my Google account, but I've tried several times now to start Google Play, each time it causes the device to restart (back to the Pine logo screen) after a long attempt to load.
I'm not sure if I have a faulty unit here, a faulty setup in some way, or if perhaps my expectations were too high? This certainly isn't a usable system, that's for sure, I can barely load an app. I'm downloading Remix instead now to see if that's any better, but really I bought this as Pine claimed to support Android.
