1. Nix 1080p or HD: While the flash drive works well with a HD screen, but the internal resolution of the OS never goes beyond 1280x720, neither applications nor when playing video. However, actually 1080p footage is smooth and even played with 720p decoded.
2. Stick clocked all 4 CPU cores permament on 1.0GHz. Thus unnecessary power is wasted as a rule, if required one gets but little more than half of the advertised performance.
Since the drive itself at 1.0 GHz can be very warm quite, it seems likely that the shrunken manufacturing process (28nm instead of 40nm) of the RK3188 compared to the previous or the other Cortex A9 design is insufficient to the chip at 1.8 GHz CPU (600MHz and MALI GPU) to operate clock without cooling or heatsinks.
This is for me the suspicion of deceit very close, because on the one hand, the service promised is not even begin geliefet, can hardly be achieved through a new firmware to the other self.
The purpose of such a device there, breathing the concentrated intelligence and variety of uses of the Android platform a stupid 1080p TV and to make it as a surf station, game machine or as a thin client usable, without having to make any thoughts about the power consumption is (permanent operation).
Although the hardware for this purpose seems predestined, she meets this requirement precisely only to half: half resolution, half power and for a much higher power consumption in idle, than necessary.
Although there on the internet alternative firmwares for Rikomagic MK802 IV, but this is a slightly different product a company "Rikomagic" which would not be confused with "Rikomagic". The current firmware of [...] work in accordance not with this device.
There is also of the product sold in Germany so far no published source code, so you can not help yourself -products as the "Rikomagic".
After I've seen on various internet forums, as there housing were sawed to mount large metal heat sink or the stick are blown with fans that are far larger than the stick, it seems clear that a real operation with 1.8 GHz in this case hardly possible will be. The power supply provides up to 10 watts and if they would even begin to hand, one would observe a firefly through the narrow ventilation slots well.
The stick is primarily advertised wrong would never 1080p, HD 720p or 1.8GHz but precisely and "enough power" to play any video in that resolution, would turn out the vote better.
But here quite deliberately false expectations are stoked and it is important to counter.
