For my surprise our Measy x7 2.2 andoird is not going to be up datable to android 2.3.it seems that needs some "soldering" to be fix.
MEASY is not fixing all the issues that we have already sent to them. This is the second time and the LAST that i buy a product from MEASY. The support respond to you the first 2 times you send an email then it relay sucks.
They don't care about the client. it seems that they does not know enough to develop a device.
The SPECS that are posted are FAKE the cpu does not get to 1ghz it is scaled to 600mhz.
also i can believe how they can show their face into CES 2012 if they provide this kind of support. in USA they make pay the company's that lies to their clients or does not provide the adequate support.
Only buy this product if the Sellers can validate that the devices has andoird 2.3 installed on it. if not DONT BUY IT
100% Disappointed
Kind regards Tatubias.
RE UPDATE: guys new firmware has being released so keep reading though all the post due a lot of new stuff are fixed and tircks are shown how to do them.
hi guys; finally im back again. i have bought a Measy x7 android media player. (updated)
Product home page: http://www.measy.com.cn/product/showproduct36_en.htmFirmware update page: http://www.measy.com.cn/download/download.php?en=en&class1=13&class2=47English User Manual: http://www.multiupload.com/PTHEIG3AV8First of all what i did was flash the device and install the latest firmware. i has some good updates on the android os like many other languages and other little things.
The flashing procedure is the following.
(BE Aware of doing this you may brick the device only doit if you realy needed or are interested in doing it.)1) Download firmware from:
http://www.measy.com.cn/download/download.php?en=en&class1=13&class2=472) uncompress the V1026.rar
3) copy update.zip to SD card. ( not need unzip the file) (copy to the root directory)
4) Put the SD card slot into the media player slot.
5) Select update icon to upgrade FW.
note: you can use the Udrive or pendrive or usb memory to do this also.
When the device restart will try to mount the image from the SD or the Udrive if it is no recognized you have an option to select from where do you want to start the flashing.
note: by the moment i dont have the original firmware.
Lets continue some Specs:
CPU: Cortex A9 1GHZ
( i have tested and it did mark 600mhz i will be investigating this item)OS: Android 2.2 Foryo
3d GPU: Mali400 (nothing from the other world but fruit ninja can be played well and other games too)
RAM: 512MB [/b](Shows 189mb more or less, will be investigating about this item too )

USB 3: 1 port
SD: 1 Reader

wireless mouse: yes
usb Keyboard: Not tested but is supposed to be supported
wireless Keyboard: Not tested but is supposed to be supported
MAX Video output: 1920x1080p
Remote controller: yes and is very hi quality
(but annoying when you need to play around android apps this kind of media players need a controller with gyroscope like the FV-1 media player)Some testing that i did:First of all i noticed that if i put n 1080P the images gets out from the frame of the TV or they are not shown it is like cut. (will be investigating how to fix this)
I have downloaded some video samples at 1080p from:
http://www.demo-world.eu/trailers/high-definition-trailers.phpThere you can download a lot of video samples that are the one when you go to your TV shop. they are great and very high quality.
i have downloaded 3 videos 1080p and they played very smooth.
i did down load the spider-man trailer 1080p and did played well too. ]( want to test an 1080P action movie, or these the screen of the flying birds of the discovery channel documentary that you can see millions of them "this is a very hard test")
Tested 2 720p video and played smooth too.
(did not watched the complete movie this i will need to test too)I will be doing more test with the video playing to check how smooth videos are being played.
i was able to load subtitles they don't have outline colors possibles (white, yellow and blue) Note: you can download any video player for android and test it.
What i noticed was that standard quality videos shown with the new firmware looks better than with the original one.
---------------
Android Applications:The device does not brings basically no application installed. it has the one to view the videos / photos and mp3 and other to install application from the udrive or sd.
NOTE: applications are by default installed on the SD card. you cant install in the free memory of the device or into the HD or the Udrive.
It does not brings Android marke yet: I was told that it will be included in the next firmware.
I was not able to synchronize the device with google account you cant use android market if this can be done. also if it is not done, you cant use gmail apk, or google docs or any application that needs google to be logged in
I have installed Adownload (bittorrent client its working and downloading into the hard drive) GOOOD i will be doing some more test on this.
note: be aware that the hard drive not always is mounted on the same path. so if you have application that need to read or write to the hdd first check the hdd location. i have reported this probably it will be fixed in followings updates.
the web browser works good.
i will be posting more findings and likes and dislikes.....
must haves: The firmware should be really worked to make the product much more that is today.
The launcher of the media player menu should be stylish like the e8hd or similar.
Apps should be able to be installed in the device or SD
controller should have gyroscope
Some settings should be added it has little options availability
it should connect with andriod market and google account.
hd should had reserved a mount point.
i will let know my findings and updating
