Am i the only one here that his HDMI is opposite and its battery life is awful?!?

@ yoavst

Could be, my HDMI is fine and so is the battery life.

Not trying to be smart.....

 

I have just tried HDMI and everything is working fine (I am using DJ's rom) - it was playing video for 30mins without issue.  However when I try to connect using Miracast, the tablet reboots itself.  Has anyone manage to get miracast (wifi direct) working?

Joined the bandwagon today.

I've had this ROM on for a couple of hours. All I have installed on there is the Google suite of apps (about 15 of the buggers).

I know it's early doors - still waiting on prolonged battery use and app compatibility, and I know they're always faster when you first install them but...

This ROM is fantastic!

The usual things I've come to expect that are now gone are:

• Cold boot time of >2mins - gone! now 30secs or less!
• Browser - no lag!
• Keyboard - no lag!
• Connecting to Wi-Fi - no lag, and I don't need my Wi-Fi extender any more in the back room!
• Updating apps from play while doing ANYTHING else - no lag!

Just.. can't.. stop... using... EXCLAMATION MARKS AND CAPS!!!!!!!!

Now, I understand that I've set myself up for disappointment here - things can in fact only get worse with time, but this appears to be a HUGE step up.

I agree with other users' comments regarding stock launcher speed - there's definitely some missing frames. Updated the Google Now Launcher through Play, and it's still a bit choppy, so definitely an optimisation thing there. May well go back to Apex or Nova.

I was all set to ditch this for the DJ overclock version tomorrow, but I think I might just let this stay for a few weeks and enjoy the tablet as I can only imagine it was meant to be.

And Twart remind us again what you had previously on the tablet as far as firmware?

Full history is:

• Stock 2.03 - on that for about an hour, because there was no multi window.
• Kasty 2.04 - less than a week because of the horrendous standby battery life issue.
• Kasty 2.06 - about 3 months. Major issue is the appalling lag whenever WiFi is being accessed by more than 1 process. Can wait up to 2 minutes for an app to respond. This getsnworse the longer the ROM is installed/the more apps you have. Minor issue is that the tablet reset/needs resetting infrequentlyinfrequently (once a week).

So thoughts after one day on Kasty 4.4.2 Test: still blazingly fast. Had an issue last night where the device wouldn't wake up to a short press, long press or very long press of the power button. Plugged it into power and it rebooted, showing 88% battery, so no battery issue.

Turned WiFi off overnight - battery loss is 4% in standby.

Netflix works fine out of the box no patch necessary.

Chrome cast works perfectly.

Thank you Twart...just one more question! I noticed less exclamation marks and capital, did you run out of them!!!! Lol

Broke my caps-lock and one key. 

Quick question.

Ran CPU-Z looked at details. Shows CPU as rk3066 quadcore. 

Now this SoC doesn't exist in this format - the only quadcore is 3188- anyone got any comments?

The build.prop for this ROM has rk3188 slapped all over it, so is this a misreport from a different place?

I'm confoozed...
