Any idea when we'l reach a point stable enough to keep the device as always-on? Need a 4k player ASAP!
Pretty sure the first 2 times I burnt the images they both started up fine and I had ethernet activity but they were plagued with performance issues. This burn is semi stable at least for ethernet, I still get SystemUI and Launcher3 crashes all the time, usually when closing apps or trying to pull down the notification bar while in an app. Usually when I lose ethernet activity all I have to do is power cycle and it's back up and running.
Since this is so new I doubt they have a ton of Android developers working on this right now but I wouldn't count on a quick fix unfortunately. I'm not in a huge rush because I just got this to tinker with. At this point I'm more interested in the Remix OS hopefully that get that fixed for us 2GB boards.
Remix is what I got the board for. Gotta wait until further notice for that.
Can you explain how performace can be so inconsistently pegged to the image burn when one's not even "burning" the surface? I thought this was like writing any other image?
