Q10 PRO FIRMWARE. ANDROID 7. FUTEKO. HMD-2.0.3 2017-04-12.095905

[daruma]

I took some time with testing to avoid the flickering which comes with the new firmware. This issue is only with imprex on instead of switched off dynamic contrast.

Is this issue defined as an official defect for this firmware?

This is an old issue returning again. Already reported several times with various fw versions in ths forum. It just comes and goes randomly with every new fw so if you want to use this imprex feature find a version that just don't have this bug.

Ok I understand but I haven't met this before this new fw.

This firmware is a disastrous.
went back to 2.0.1

PS. If you still don't upgrade to 2.0.3. Stay where you are

I can no longer install Kodi's nightly builds on my Q10 Pro  !

The last successful install was kodi-20170410-7f7f7e8-Krypton-armeabi-v7a.apk last week.
Today I've tried to install kodi-20170418-5066f8f-Krypton-armeabi-v7a.apk but it fails! There were no new builds between the 10th and the 18th builds.

The install process fails followed by an error message "st process has stopped", but clicking the "Close app" option has no effect. All I can do is switch the box off with the remote.

I installed FW v2.0.3 yesterday, could this be the problem???

I've tried installing previous nightly builds but none worked. I even uninstalled Kodi and re-installed the 17.1 release from Google Play. But I still am unable to install any Kodi nightly apks.

Any ideas?

also went back to 2.01 flickering when viewing movie is not acceptable, was this tested ?
also key mapping in Kodi is different, you have to find out yourself.
Having said this, continue the good work and release a decent version.

That happened to me after i installed 2.0.3. As soon as the unit was running i logged in Play Store and install all available updates.
It was impossible to get rid of the st message so i reboot the unit. I haven't install/update any app since then and the crash didn't reappear, so something must be broken when installing an app.
Hopefully futeko will reproduce it and report it to Himedia.

This firmware 2.03 is a disastrous. Hello, micro stuttering every 10 seconds with 23.976  and flickering with pq Tools

Hopefully futeko will reproduce it and report it to Himedia.

For me it only happens when trying to install  the Kodi nightly-build apk files. I've tried installing other apk files (from APKMirror) and they install with no problems 

LATEST: Today I thought that I would try again with the latest nightly build of Kodi (19th). It worked!!!!!  No problems whatsoever. There would appear to be a plethora of factors that contribute to the problems with FW 2.0.3?

Hello, now you have no choice to install if possible Clean Master and try to clean all about the Kodi app. And try again with and old version under the 18 day Date.

Try installing this nightly (as previously recommended by @DancesWithChickens:

http://mirrors.kodi.tv/nightlies/android/arm/Krypton/kodi-20170407-eb3a01a-Krypton-armeabi-v7a.apk
- Download, move file to Q10 Pro, install with File Manager.

I have been using this 17.2RC release with Firmware 2.0.3 without any issues (and have disabled "Joystick Control") since Easter Saturday.
All 1080p @23.976 files playing fine with HD 5.1 and 7.1 audio passthrough (and with Kodi 17 using updated wrapper).
Playback checked for with samples of 60Hz, 24Hz and 29.97Hz as well as 10bit HEVC.  All good 
Note all videos were from NAS or HDD sources (no streaming tested).

Noted FLAC 7.1 passes but only when there is another audio track present (it is also noticeably lower quality than the TrueHD 7.1 track possibly due to Android's 16 bit limitation).  AAC 5.1 still plays ok.

Only minor issue experienced by myself so far has been the new ID's Android 7 firmware allocated to internal and USB attached HDD's (e.g. sdb1 in lieu of sda1).  It kept their drive names ok and was easy to rectify.  This required Kodi and SPMC to rescan and then clean the library to remove duplicates.

I think I'm going to "leave well enough alone" for the moment  . Last night's build is working fine (fingers crossed!)

I only have a 2.1 soundbase ( ) so I'm not interested in all this passthrough stuff.

Just tried this new formare.

At first seemed very responsive. Very nice indeed..

Then I started to use it...

I usually copy my backup of whole kodi directory stored on my nas drive  to himedia.
This way I can keep all my settings and skins etc..

However, when trying to copy to himedia, I get a error that internal SD card is read only. So esfile explorer aborts, as it can't copy to himedia.

Then started to get this error message.

android st process has stopped

Onky way to get rid of error is to unplug himedia.

Now on Reboot sits at himedia screen forever.

Only way to  boot again is to reflash firmware via usb..

Then will boot.
But...
Will get write errors again  and that messsge
So have to reflash..

Just went back to 2.0.1 and  now no write errors etc.
Stable..


So my advice for now.. STAY AWAY FROM THIS NEW VERSION.

It will currupt the internal memory writes, and require a reflash to boot..

Exactly what i did and experienced!

Now after every boot thge whole damn thing locks amd have to pull the plug.
Think im going back to Android 5

Futeko states (as mirroring Himedia) that this is the best firmware so far. : What makes this statement true, in what has it been improved since 1.0.9?  Does it have a better PQ? I didn't even bothered any Android 7 version to try, cause based on the complains read here it caused more troubles than fixes. Why should I trust better in this upgrade?

The "Wallposter" feature isn't a big  deal breaker for me as I use KODI for Jukeboxing and I'm quite used to and satisfied with it.

I have also read on another forum, that 2.0.3 reintroduced the dynamic contrast "flashing" bug, is that true, has it been already and properly tested by Futeko?!
And what about the incorrect 23.976 fps bug reports coming also from 2.0.3 fw user try-outs posted here a few days ago? Are they all just "humbug"?!

And I have also read, that Himedia won't do any further updates on Android 5. -> That's also a sort of disappointment.  The best fw I've tried so far was 1.0.9, and still based on Android 5.

Guys ive updated to 2.03 via OTA, but my wifi now is not working, any idea?
 And can i rollback to 5.1 or install previous firmware?
Thank you
