The applications are not hardware dependent so it should work. Some times it depend the device so if does not work you can do an other work around to make it work too.

you cant test it on a tablet as an example.

Hey Tatubias,

That's great !

I assume the 'cannot connect to google servers' issue is solved by your procedure.

But unfortunately now I have another serious issue with X7.

Yesterday I connected my old E8HD to the USB port of X7, to view the files from it's internal HDD.

Then suddenly my USB ports stopped working (WiFi dongle/ Keyboard/mouse / Ext. HDD dead) !

I tried to force upgrade, but cannot (due to USB not working) & for some reason, it also does not read update from SDCard while updating.

I have mailed Measy. Hope I won't have to ship it to them. Bad luck :-(

really bad luck!!!!!!

try to do this.

reboot the device with the reset button or go to the firmware upgrade icon, it will open the menu for upgrading the firmware. there it is an option that says Factory data reset. or you can do the factory data reset in the settings menu inside the privacy.

i did had some issues wile upgrading my device it did not read the SD or the usb. what i did was format again the USB in 16bit and did work perfect.

note: some times it takes more than 10 seconds to recognize the usb. i did used the port located in the back.

Thanks for the tip.

Right now I'm on skype with Measy. Let's see what they say ...

Another minus for X7 is that it does not support USB DVD ROM.

I know that other Android-Player competitors support DVD ROM.

I have many DVDs of movies, so it is very difficult to copy files from DVD to X7 !!

you should ask them to make a DVD ripper if they later support USB DVD ROM,

that would be a really cool app.

A300 can rip CDrom, to mp3 lossless, which i think can be done anywhere if apps exist, but what would really be something as an equivalent ripper for DVD or HD DVD

that'll be awesome , and sold as a way to "backup your HD-DVD" to your NMT.

Really what does or not other media player this is not the place to chat about it. x7 can do millions of things and we are not posting in other post that is not related.

good and bad things are being publish.

you need to understand that this is not a only media player its a media entrainment system. it does a lot of more things that view movies and listen mp3. as we publish before the firmware is being updated with new features and bugs be fixed. Measy is used to update the firmwares very often. and they fix issues that users request.

tatubias · « **Reply #69 on:** Nov 29, 2011 at 08:17 AM »

by the way if someone wants to criticize any device:

1 - First compare 2 devices with the same hardware.
2 - Second before criticize buy the device. So you can speak for your personal real experience.

im tired of seen post of other devices and someone says that the ones he sells are better based in any real fact. What i have seen most of the players has the same hardware so the difference will be the soft how it is implemented. and have in mind that can be updated.

to the people that consider audiophile or videophile if you realy are what you are saying please buy a expensive hi end player we are talking about Bang & Olufsen, Bose or any hi end product. be seriuos before critize. also this kind of people should be thinking in original media and not pirated if they realy are so demanding-

new little bug that i noticed. is when you connect the player to you USB and use it like a hard drive. it does un mount from the android. And when you un plugged from your computer it does not auto load again i have to reboot the device.

Also it is common to have the file system corrupted. because when you turn off the device it automaticaly shuts down and does not power off as it should.

this same issue has allready e8hd media player.

Dear Tatubias,
For the Measy X7, we've released a new FW, but not released online yet, maybe you can check and test:

Thanks for your interests in Measy products.

Best wishes!

Tatubias,

The link is the same that I sent you (which Measy sent me) !!

I've already tried it, & given my feedback to Measy.

1. Sign in to Google always fails , although Market is installed in this version.

2. Gallery displays photos from external HDD in very poor resolution (as noted in my earlier post)

But please do try it & see for yourself.

roycejp · « **Reply #74 on:** Nov 29, 2011 at 08:22 PM »

'Sync Accounts' is already activated in Settings -> accounts & sync.

I have tried everything.

I already have an Android phone that is also set-up, without problems, on the same wifi network as X7, without any problems.

i have just installed the new firmware.

i was able to use android market. try doing click on the icon of the market located on the second desktop of the right.

i have just installed the new firmware:
http://depositfiles.com/files/b2yvsbg9v

Findings: (updated) reupdate 05-12-2011

1) It does boot faster.

2) I did access market though the icon that is in the second desktop from the right.

3) Movies are showing the subs ok (UPDATE:i have tested with other subs and i still see chinese characters)

4) Music is auto loaded to the default media player

~~it does auto load the music on the hard drive.~~ im testing today and it is not showing me all the music y need to search it on the hard drive.

5) images using gallery are still being watched very low res (this should be fixed)

6) some others improvements i have noticed im still investigating.

7) Android market is installed. is not working as expected. some times it takes time to make it connect and shows very few apps.

the device first boot is in Chinese you will need to config it in your language and then reboot the device.

i will be posting updates.

tatubias · « **Reply #77 on:** Nov 29, 2011 at 09:46 PM »

i was able to scale the cpu to 800mhz this are the steps that should be following.

first of all you will need to have the device rooted. as we explained before.

Antutu CPU MASTERS
This apps make the scaling to 800mhz ( the devices does not allow to make a scaling higher)

(this is the application screenshot) not the actual on my device.

http://www.megashare.com/3760619

Antutu Benchmark
Shows information about the hardware if you run this app first you will see that the cpu is 600mhz then when you run antutu cpu masters and reboot the device you will see the benchmark cpu at 800mhz.

[this is an actual picture on my device)
http://www.filesonic.com/file/3167991225

oi will be testing the device if it hangs with this new update.

update: i did un rar a file of 2gb and listen music and did not hang or make the music cut. also a was able to watch 720 or 1080 files and did not had any issue.

will be updating.

No, I mean did you have to sign in all over again after upgrade, or was still signed in from last time ?

im not following you. i did install the new firmware then i did connect to market. use the icon on the desktop.

roycejp · « **Reply #82 on:** Nov 30, 2011 at 12:00 AM »

OK, let me explain

When you want to connect to market, you have 1st sign in to your google account (or create it if required).
This is done only once.

You said you had already installed Market in the old firmware, using your earlier steps. So you had already signed in.

Now, with the new firmware, after installing, did you just click on market & woosh! you were in market, or did you again first have to sign in like you did in your old firmware.

I mean, did X7 'remember' your sign in details from your old firmware ?

when the device is flashed with the new firmware all old information on the memory of the device is deleted so you need to start from Zero.

An application that i tested to un rar files is Unrar Pro 1.5b

it is a very basic application but dose the job.

Download:http://www.apktops.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=6088

note: what i have noticed is that if the file name and the directory where you are unraring the file has spaces it does not do the unrar so you will need to rename the folder an the file.

the test i did was a file about 1.4gb and it took 12 minutes to unrar the file. also i was able to here music with any issue during the unrar.

I have being investigating a little there are other rar manager i will be doine a better research on this

update: i did test other file archivers to unrar and did not work was not able to unrar the file on the same directory or it hang the application, etc. the test was on files of 700mb or biggers.

Fact it states in its box it works, doesn't that suffice? Why do you need to install , when it can readily support in a simple browser test?

i think it became with flash 10.2 and did install 10.3 and did work perfect also today i installed flash 11 and did work too as expected.

about the web test yes i did it on http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

my question realquestion or doubt was if the player works with adobe air applications. i did install it and download some games and they did work too

as we know adoble flash is not going to be supported any longer by adobe it still have long life. but adobe air is what is going to replace flash so i was interested in learning about it.

Yes I'm aware of that

.

I was trying to find a clue as to why it refused to work for me.

The only difference seems to be that you had previously enabled market using your 5 step method.

I was just wondering if that had anything to do with the new firmware working for you & not me .....

Well I can't test anything now till I get my X7 serviced from Measy ...

May I add that you are doing a great job testing & helping other X7 users !

Sadly, this is what Measy should be doing.

They should hire you as an international consultant !!

Hi..Can u not flash your MEasy X7 like what @tatubias did? As it is said old/every information will be deleted and start from scratch.
