Hi Sinovoip,

Sorry for my bad english and thanks for your job

I use banana Pi M2 mainly for Plex Home Theater and my computers uses Plex Server

Do this support IR for remote ? I can’t associate Rii mini i25 with IR

Gigabit ethernet is very fixed ? My 1080p Movies (15Gb) is lagging. My local network is Gigabit Ethernet. I own also an android TV (ref: Ugoos UT1 with Custo Rom wasserROM v. 1.2.4), with ethernet gigabyte and do not lag.

thx all

HoW to use gpio since the pins are defined

Hello, there is an IR sensor on the device it self but I never saw any documentation on how to use it. Maybe you can dig up stuff about it on the internet.

As for the lagging 1080 movie, I would assume it is the unrefined software on the hardware. By specifications it should be powerful enough for 1080p, but hey, even Moto G runs 720p.

Until BPI come out with a new image there is not much we can do.

I noticed these are older versions, is there going to be a new image release soon? preferably with touchscreen, wifi and gpio all working

Hi,

how can i do the update from 4.4_v4.0 to v4.1? or must the sd card be formatted and an installed with phönix card again?

15

From what I can tell you must start over with Phoenixcard but I could be wrong (ps. Are you using version 4.0 LCD? If so can you upload it I can’t find a download link for it anywhere and version 4.1 doesn’t have WiFi working

16

i am using 4.0 HDMI. i think if i use phönix card everything will be erased on the sd, so i must config the android again. download http://www.bananapi.com/index.php/download?layout=edit&id=75

I am trying to boot Android on my BPI-M2, but no image is working. I am using HDMI image and HDMI-DVI cable, but nothing happens.

Since I am a Banana Pi dealer/supporter, I have many BPI-M2 and tried a few of them but no luck.

Please help!!! My customers are getting mad right now!

18

OMG I didn’t know that dd doesn’t work for android…

What do I use for android if I am on linux?

19

what issue are you facing? can`t you use windows for creating the sd card for android? i had no problems booting into android but there are modules that do not work as they should if you want wifi option active, you could try with android 4.4 v3.0. i can help you if ou want.

Best regards

hello,sinovoip,I have downloaded the android 4.4 v3.0 source code,but the camera can’t work. could you tell me how to download the source code of 4.4 v4.1?

21

Hello! Actually, I got it! I used a Windows PC and PhoenixCardV309 to create my sdcard image for BPI-M2 Android. However, I had an issue with WiFi though. With WiFi, I had to download a different image to get it working. My android started working fine.

I am having different issues with typing Korean though. It may be caused due to my hardware keyboard.
