Has anybody seen the Advent Vega Dock being sold outside the UK? I've only seen PC World and Dixons having the dock in stock and they don't ship it to where I live...
Hi
If you locate one, please can you pm me.
Thank you
Advent Vega is UK model. Rest of the Europe call it Mobii Point of View Tegra 10". They are the same inside, only logo on the back is different.
Pov is heavier (730g) a bit,and no bluetooth, so not just label is different
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_tablet_PCs
update:
wiki updated pov feature list, now has bluetooth, only weight is different
but i would guess that the dock is the same to both tablets, i got one and it has 3 USB 1 HDMI 1 headphones (stereoplug) and a powerplug.
and it looks like this

So buying a dockingstation for a PoV Mobii 10 would work just as well as trying to get one from the U.K.
Anyone find a Vega Dock "IN" the UK right now, cant find one online or in the store i tried ..
I must of been really lucky on Sunday when I bought my Vega at Pcworld Chelmsford cos there was a dock sitting on the shelf below!!!!
Sorry to say it was the only one left

Good to know, guess i have to trawl all stores nearby to check if we have any on shelves .. there is none on the websites and the currys store i was in the other day did a check for the dock in stock then checked pcworld stock levels and told me there was none... Given your result its worth a look i think... Failing that i may take a chance on one for the Pov Mobii 10 dock shipped from europe and see if that works..
I have been trying to get a dock for the vega for weeks but PC World etc were of no help so after a bit of investigation I found that the viewsonic viewpad 10s dock was the same as the vega, There are several company's on the net selling them. I got mine from cbccomputers.com for only £20.10 and they do free p&p for orders over £10

Working on viewpad 10s?
Hello people,
Does anyone know if this dock is for the viewpad 10s?
Since I read in many places that this viewpad is a clon of the vega tablet but haven´t confirmed that for 100%.
thanks in advance
And it's one more place where you read the same - this devices almost similar and viewpad 10s is clone of advent vega

Yes, I'm running the Viewpad 10s with the Mobii Tegra docking station.
The docking stations don't have a maufacturer label like Advent / POV / Viewsonic, they are all identical

1080p
Could someone with a dock please tell me whether it allows 1080p video playback through its hdmi socket, because as far as I am aware the vega's hdmi only outputs at the same resolution as the screen (1024*600 I think) which would mean video playback on a tv would be limited to this. The reason I am asking is because on the currys website it says in the technical specification of the dock, "connect to your tv with 1080p video playback", however I suspect that this is a inaccuracy, and that the hdmi socket on the dock is indentical in its output to that of the vega's own hdmi socket.
Thanks very much
Just picked up a dock yesterday from curries digital an crawley. dont have access to a hd tv till the w'end so will test then if I remember.
Apart from that Im happy as the USB outlets can chage my phone too

I have a evo 3d coming soon and I'm curious to know how the hdmi out works. I'm interested in playing n64 games (I'm assuming they'll run decently) on my tv with my wii classic controller. On the evo 4g it was unplayable even playing snes games from hdmi out. Is it smoother now and would 3d games be playable?
Well that's good news. lol by 3d i meant games that are not the side scroller type, I do have a 3dtv so if that's true then that's awesome.
Does the quality of the adapter matter? I'm thinking of just buying one off ebay for 10 bucks or so.
Not to hijack the thread or anything but what kind of a controller do you use for that kind of setup? I've got a nice little MSI adaptor but find without a controller, it's damned difficult to operate some games...
The old Chainpus bluetooth gamepad works great using bluez IME from the market. I've heard the Zeepad (?), Phonejoy, and Icontrolpad bluetooth controllers also work well.
I've only had the old Chainpus gamepad and it's a lot of fun for emulator TV out.

Well I can't say it works perfect, and I haven't tried it yet with any emulators....but this http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/tablet-wireless-bluetooth-controller/97838
works with sense roms...the problems I've had are that most games that are controllable with the gamepad seem to be mapped for portrait layout...meaning for example trying to use it with gtaIII ,the 3 o'clock direction is forward or straight...pressing actual up stick guides you left. I'm still on the fence whether I'll return it or open it up and see about switching the orientation of the thumb sticks. And also alot of games either won't use the gamepad input, or its just not configurable at all...you may be able to move around but the buttons don't respond. Like I said I have not tried an emulator yet and maybe you can do mapping which would make this controller sweet. Hopefully they release an app to run in sync with the controller or games get updated to allow for more configuration

If you have a Frys store nearby, they have a micro usb MHL adapter (Accell) it works great and costs about $24
This is what I bought. Works fine. I'm just a little disappointed with the performance of the evo while using it, hoping its because I'm on the stock rom + kernel.

This works perfect just make sure the kernel your using can output HDMI none of the anthrax kernels can do that

Does Stock Roms support HDMI outputs?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Stock ROM rooted or not as long as the kernel supports it then yes...
I won a PhoneJoy and the controller is awesome.. works perfect with stock kernel phone with BlueIMZ.
In my experience.
1. Video is grainy, though my TV reports it as 1920x1080p, and it does not fill the whole screen. Their is half an inch of space left on all sides of TV.
2. I bought this to play audio. The quality is great. Sound is crisp clear but I have to keep screen awake and it drains battery out. It would be great to turn screen off.
PS:- I am using CleanROM Reborn 1 with stock kernel.
Greetings!
My MK802+ just went up in smoke, and while I am not sure that I wanna get a new one (maybe MK802 II), I do
wanna get another Google TV Box. I actually prefer the "normal" android experience over Google TV, as it is not
at all so limited in regards to installing apps...
The only problem is that I live within EU, so I if I were to import stuff from China I'd be insanely expensive to get
through customs, and I have had a few issues with finding something within EU (also the MK802 II)...
I actually thought the MK802 II was a bit slow, so I kind of wanna try something else... I am hoping to see the UG802
Dual core stick out soon, wonder how it handles heat though. I think these Boxes needs at least 1GB of ram...
I found this one, which looks pretty promising, It has 1gig of RAM and looks neat. I have contacted the seller to find out which CPU it has, who the manufacturer is, and what the model/device name is. 1GB RAM Android 4.0.3 Tv Box Google Play Mini Set IPTV WEEB TV Internet
I have also been looking at the Sumvision Cyclone 2.3 media player, I am uncertain of the clock speed (800Mhz or 1GHz?), and it only has half a gig of RAM... Not sure if sufficient enough.
Lastly I found this dual core android PC stick... But it seems to good to be true right?
I could also consider getting a used Logitech Revue for a price a bit more expensive than the MK802, but I am not sure if that would be worth it....
Do you have any alternatives? What do you guys think?
None?
If the finish don't matter to you, take a look to the development boards:

I am just on holiday in Bangkok, and as I know the area well, went and had a look around one of the main computer centers and came across one of these..
Android Smart TV Box..
http://www.oneboxhome.com/2012v1.0/products/
Saw it in action.. looks pretty cool..
Got busybox installed..
can side load apps..
I am thinking that the low ram might be taken care of with an apps2sd setup on to the sdcard..
I am interested in it as price was right.. I think he quoted 4,800 thai.. about $AU150
Things I like about it.. slap a hard drive into it - Media box..
running 4.0 with a promised upgrade to jellybeen..
I got to see if I can run the VPN through it..
As my thought is to use it in China as a TV box as I am using my laptop a lot already and my pad..
I know I could setup a pandaboard.. but it wouldn't be the same as this is plug and play..

I've been searching web last few days too. Looking for a STB for watching mainly IPTV. Tried Raspberry Pi, but it was way laggy.....
Take a look at reviews on site: http://liliputing.com/tag/mini-pc
My favorites :
http://www.facebook.com/minixtech - $90, specs still not fully announced, but looks promissing Android mini PCs featuring dual core Rockchip RK3066 ARM Cortex-A9
http://liliputing.com/2012/07/hardk...droid-developer-board-with-quad-core-cpu.html - 129$ ODROID-X has a 1.4 GHz Exynos 4412 quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU, Mali 400 graphics
http://liliputing.com/2012/08/49-cubieboard-is-an-allwinner-a10-developer-board-mini-pc.html - $49, cheapest alternative, but i'm not sure if it has enough power for smooth user experience.
Q: Have anyone tried to use MK802 or similar devices for watching IPTV? SD and HDTV resolutions? Is playback smooth? How long does it take to switch from one channel to other?

That dev board is a beast, too bad it costs like $250 if I wanna get it into Denmark
I have used the MK802+, I am not sure if IPTV requires more, but flash video and 1080p video's had fluid playback - never did manage to get surround sound working on the latest firmware though. But I would recommend that you buy an USB-ethernet adaptor, because the wireless on that device is as worse as it gets.
Also, if you can get your hands on the MK802 II I would get that

Moga pro works grand.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk 4
I ordered a Moga Pro I still don't have it, but found a few things, which could enhance it.
None of the things are tested, because I don't have the required gadgets, but you know.
1) A program called ZeeMouse, which makes the Moga Pro work with a Windows PC - link here
2) An Android application - USB/BT Joystick Center GOLD (requires root), which should be able to map the controller buttons to touch actions - link from playstore.
I think that these two applications make the Moga's price a little bit easier to swallow and I personally will try them as soon as possible, which could be in a few weeks.
PS. Oh I sure hope that this new Phonejoy model is of higher quality, because I have one of the first versions (the analog one) and it is so poor build and functions so bad that it is literally unusable.

if you go to website there's an app called game center with all the instructions I'm 99% sure you don't need root. But your going to want root because my experience certain games a) it's not supported b) I can't change the controls the way I like them.

Moga power. I think I am going to order the moga power pro though. Comes outs 11/4. I hope my moga power cancels on amazon so I can order that. Pricey for either one though.
Sent from my SM-900T.
I say the Gameklip as well. It works out of the box with the included cable. Works for emulators from Fpse to SuperGenes. The only issue is having to supply your own case to attach the clip onto. If you have any extra cases then its a good choice. If not...just get a case because its cheaper than the moga pro.

Moga Pro (or even better the newer one arriving soon).
I have one and have used more gamepads than most here and so far its the best for non-Root users.
I can confirm that the new Dualshock 4 is working via USB OTG with our devices, I have not gotten it to work via bluetooth or the sixaxis app, although it works fine with my PC via bluetooth. I will let you know more as I figure stuff out.

Thanks mate, I've always enjoyed your reviews. I have decided I will be getting the Moga Pro. I was due to go away but that may have now changed due to some unforeseen circumstances, so if I don't go then I'll wait until the new Moga pad is available and I'll get that instead.
Is there a gameklip equivalent that doesn't require a tacky strip? I don't want to have to swap cases every time I want to game...I just wanted a clamp or some other mechanic to hold the phone and I much prefer using a PS3 controller over Moga's

I am waiting for the keyboard/case for the Tab Pro 8.4.
One that is a keyboard but also works as the front screen protector.
Are there any good quality ones? (Not the cheap ones).
I've been searching for one as well, and as of now the only quality keyboard case is for the 12.2 inch. It's a bummer but hopefully they release something soon.

I am thinking of an alternative option now.
Buy tablet stand + logitech k810 (no case).
I can also be able to use the bluetooth keyboard for my smartphone since it supports mutiple devices (3 devices).
I then have to carry them separately but i will be putting them in one bag anyways.

Hello all,
I'm new to the Android world, (shhhh I'm really a Mac guy..LOL) But I found so much more flexibility in the androids after my work got me the new Galaxy S5. So I did some research and got the Tab Pro 8.4 and so far its a wet dream from a IT Engineer's perspective, RDP VPN and Google Docs its awesome not have to tote my Macbook around or be stuck in my office basement all day in summer to do the most basic chores.
Anywhooo....the reason for my post.
I bought all my gear on Amazon along with this really nice case from Ionic. (cant post link yet cause I'm a newbie)
Only issue is it seems Samsung has decided they don't allow other keyboards to be used for this tablet. It paired ok but I could not use the keyboard with any apps.
I bought a 99 cent app called Null Keyboard which actually allowed you to chose a diff keyboard than the Samsung, however not all the letters worked...LOL
So I sent it back yesterday. Now I been combing the web looking for fellow Pro Tab users to see if anyone cracked the mystery. I have seen other threads from people who called Samsung about this and their answer was quite shocking that the do NOT in fact support other keyboards. This to me is just crazy!!!! How can they allow accessory companies to make things for their unit an not allow it? :crying::crying::crying:
If anyone has had success with this please tell me otherwise. Love my tablet but feeling very naked without a good case or input for it.
Regards,

I tried a generic Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard that I use with my IPad on the Tab Pro and it worked perfectly. Perhaps it's just the first keyboard you bought that was the issue?
Yeah, my Anker (a clone brand like Sharkk) keyboard works great. Any commodity BT keyboard should work

Does the Home key works for the MS Wedge? I bought one too but can't find the home key.

Too bad Logitech doesn't make a slick keyboard case for the 8.4 as it does for the 10.1.
Have just found this one of the web. Anyone tried it before ?

I have a Kensington bluetooth iPad keyboard case and it works great with the 8.4. I used some double sided foam tape to mount the tablet in the case.
I have this IVSO Bluetooth Keyboard Case for the 8.4, no problems
Looking for a remote really for my Shield K1, can't seem to find anything I really want. I am living hotel life for 3 months and want the remote mainly to control Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, but am open to setting up some emulators. I dont want the Shield controller but need something decent. My DS4 is so laggy and not really worth the time. I was hoping someone has used the NES30 or NES30 Pro controller. Please let me know if you have. Otherwise open to cheap remote alternatives Thanks.
Edit: My curiosity won. I paid $30 for it on GearBest, I'll report in if anyone wants to know how it works with the K1.

As a soon to be Nividia Shield K1 owner, I would love to know whether this controller works well with the K1. I'm not a big fan of the official controller by Nvidia being so bulky and a bit too much for my taste. This seems like the perfect size and I love the retro look behind it all. Please share how well this controller works and whether all function buttons have some sort of response (dislike it when you press a button on a controller and it just doesn't do anything). Thanks in advance!
Should be arriving next week. I'll post my findings.
Do you happen to have a Nexus Player? I wonder if it would work with that too.
I use the 8Bitdo Zero on my Shield Tablet, http://8bitdo.com/zero/ so there should be no reason that the NES80 one wouldn't work.

Just curious.
How well does the Emu-Touchschreen software work?
I am curious as I have the Shield TV. If it works I could drag the controls with a mouse. The demos look very responsive?
Is there a library of templates?
Does it drop out?
Thanks.
would love to see an update in this thread .. how is the gamepad working out for you ?
I got it late last week. Connected right up and is usable out of the box like a mouse or nexus player remote. I do have a Nexus player, but I wont be home to test it out for a month. I'll be doing some emulators and some games later this week and can report back on how button mapping works. Overall very happy with it so far. It's fast, no noticeable lag, and didn't require any special software to connect up. Worth the wait coming from overseas and definitely worth $30.
*Currently not rooted and on Stock Rom.
I have also pulled the trigger on this gamepad and I must say it is very enjoyable. I have used snes9x to play some classic SNES games and it works very well. I did have to customize some buttons but it was very easy to get it to work. The only problem I came across was the lack of being able Tod program certain Dpad controls such as down+left or up+right. I'm not sure if there's a way to do this. If anyone knows please share. But other than that it works nicely. I also played some actual game apps such as Leo's Fortune and it was pretty awesome and enjoyable. Adding to that I plugged in my tablet to my TV via mini HDMI and had a great time playing on my 42" TV. Definitely recommended!!!

The other problem with this controller is that ABXY button layout is not similar to every other after market ones. If you look closely the X Y and A B are reversed.

hey guys is this controller any good for fps games like modern combat, all the bluetooth controllers ive tried have horrible deadzones on the analogue sticks which make fps games rubbish, and how does the nivida game mapper work with it because its horrible with a ps3 controller
I've been using one with the K1 shield for the last couple of days, it has worked fine with Doom 3 and Halflife 2/portal.
As people have said before the layout of the buttons is weird but it doesn't take long to get used to, and the button mapper works fine for apps that don't support a controller( I'm still struggling with Brothers though). But after playing most of these games on my shield portable I'd say its definitely worth the money and not much different from my portable. I'm going to try halflife on my big screen tonight. I mainly bought the K1 to use with my phantom but with this control I'd say the portable will be for sale soon.
I'm in possession of new APK for android Emutouch mode. Tested on galaxy S8 and confirmed working unlike old v1.6.
PM for download
Preordered the newer version that works w/ the Switch with the 4 shoulder buttons. Cost way more though... lol Can't wait to use it on my devices especially my Switch.

It is like it should be. If you search for Nintendo button layout you will see that it is the same.

There is no new/old version. Support for the Switch is firmware related. You can update your 8bitdo controller to new firmware and get it to work with Switch - I can confirm that.
Sorry for double post. I do not used multi quote it was my mistake.
I'm referring to the SNES version and not the NES version.

Sorry, what I meant by other aftermarket are the ones like Moga, Steel Series, ipega, where the bottom where left button is X, top is Y, right is B, bottom is A.
So basically this is really only good for using on Nintendo emulators.

I wouldn't say it's only good for nintendo emulators. Strictly because I've used it for other things, and on my pc as well. If you can ignore what it's labeled, it's like any other controller. Swap them around if the emulator defaults it to the letter. 99% of the time we do the set up anyways for the controllers.
I use FC30 pro but it's impossible to play to modern combat
