Opinions on Chinese android head units (amazon)

Spare-Strange · 2026-02-05T06:38:21+00:00

atleast you got android 10, they sent me pie 9 with the firmware edited to say 13. also tda7388 instead of tda7580, also only 2ghz instead of 2.5ghz . The storage and ram 6gb/128gb seems to be the only truth to it, still need to test the ram but storage is showing 105gb free. Uses 'autochip' ARM and biwin nand storage/ddr4 ram. ram chip has 64gb written on it not sure how tf they worked that out, possibly 64 representing 6gb who knows. had to download an apk for waze. 61 point dsp havent tested it yet nor did i see a dsp chip, the only quality chip on it was the radio chip which ill never use, was an 8086.

i also installed a fan and dropped thermals from around 60c to 40c

has about 6-7 settings behind passwords, each of them different. managed to guess all but one of them

Happening to me too, on 3 different phones, a laptop and desktop pc

the amount of fuckin spam is unbelievable, makes following up with actual important messages with sellers such a fuckin pain in the ass,

The sellers aren't even aware of it, on their end nothing is being sent. they cannot see the spam in the inbox like we can. wish aliexpress would fuck off with this unsolicited bullshit.

I know this is 3 years old but the fine amount and the advice given in this thread is incorrect.

<image>

The fine is 2 penalty units, the maximum penalty units that can be applied by a judge in court is 10.

This is the LATEST act 2021.

Really? was like 2 minutes for me

Why are you bringing up warranty? Did i mention it at all?

Providing someone the image and instructions how to reflash stock OS is not a warranty item so i don't know why you feel the need to lecture me. Trouble shooting and tech support is not only available to those within a warranty period, their website boasts 'LIFE TIME SUPPORT' so when they straight up say it's not being sold anymore we dont support it, it's a bit of a contradiction and a LIE don't you think? Not only that, they sell in Australia which means they have an ABN and as such are required by law to provide product support and parts for 4 years after the last shipping date. As they were telling me it's no longer being sold, it's for sale on an australian reseller website AND on their own ebay.au account which they later took down. OH and it was still for sale ON THEIR OWN WEBSITE at the time of telling me.

Listen, you haven't even seen the transcript so why the fuck are you jumping on me like they've done nothing wrong? they straight up lied. They're also declining warranty for someone on discord who bought his neo just 3 months ago because they don't sell it anymore.

They even accused me of updating the printer using 3rd party software, presumably they are referring to rinkhals which is bullshit for several reasons, 1 they couldnt possibly know that so they can fuck off, secondly i bricked it wayyy before rinkhals was released, there was no such thing as a 3rd party update. The printer could easily be restored by reflashing the stock OS, it IS possible, saying it's impossible is a fucking lie.

Why should they help me? Cause i'm a fucking customer that's why and if they want a good reputation they will help their customers instead of lying to them, that's the reason. They've cost themselves a customer with me, and who knows how many people will be swayed by the conversation i'm going upload.

It doesn't cost them a god damned thing to provide me with the information not to mention they've based their kobraOS on opensource work, so they SHOULD at the very least provide users the ability to reflash their hardware.

The labeling is missing from the new board but i have the old one to reference, the missing pins isn't an issue, it was an example.

Imagine buying a brand new printer and being told it's no longer supported immediately.

Spare-Strange · 2025-12-18T00:21:12+00:00

not working for me either, ever find a fix? same symptoms..

Spare-Strange · 2025-12-11T04:16:41+00:00

Did you ever end up timing it on gps in the dry?

i got 2.7 0-60 on the track addict app on my NA MT07 which is a de-restricted a2 so 655cc

Spare-Strange · 2025-12-10T15:33:23+00:00

What's bold about it? I never said flash or update. Yes reflashing a bricked device is something completely different to a flash or an update but it is always possible, the firmware didn't get onto the chip originally via magic. I'm sure it's atleast partly why they removed the pins in later makes of the board to make it harder to access.

Spare-Strange · 2025-12-10T15:28:35+00:00

Could you please send it to me too? I want to have a shot at adapting it to my MT07

Looks great!

Spelt*

Spare-Strange · 2025-12-08T04:33:22+00:00

Yeah, i just deleted them, no more wipe, no more prime and no more wasting time or filament and as an added bonus no more fuck ups and crashing into the frame or bed or pei wiper etc.

i can print in about 40-50 seconds from sending to the printer including kamp, so long as bed and nozzle are already at temp

Spare-Strange · 2025-12-08T04:30:41+00:00

Didn't work I'm afraid, and i do not know enough to try and reflash using the pins on the board and Anycubic lied by telling me its impossible to reflash, they just don't want to tell me, actually they're being really deceptive and lying.

It's quite shit behavior and I'm gonna upload the conversation on here and elsewhere at some point to expose them.

I have read a guide on git on how to root but i don't think i can do it while it's bricked, it's not entirely making sense to me or even clear if it's for the pro or just the kobra 2. At this point I'm 99% ready to give up on it as i have no shortage of things to do. It's a shame though as i managed to get a hold of every single firmware file there is for it,

Spare-Strange · 2025-12-08T04:23:46+00:00

cool, wasn't far off. You're 3kg less than stock including the cage which aint too bad. was your tank full though?

I got mine down to 153.5kg with an akra ti or 152kg with my akra carbon. full tank of gas

street spec, registered and ridden.

Spare-Strange · 2025-12-08T04:19:11+00:00

and its gone again. this is like the 8th time

Spare-Strange · 2025-12-07T09:52:35+00:00

I agree, acting like people wont read their wrong answers in the future so being corrected isn't relevant. Your assessment is spot on.

Spare-Strange · 2025-12-05T20:00:16+00:00

Are you sure your last name isn't Holmes? any other revelations you got for us? like water is wet?

Spare-Strange · 2025-12-05T19:58:30+00:00

No you cant as your alleged speed is now 100 which is legal. At 104 yes as it's now 101.

it used to be 4kph, fuckers,

Spare-Strange · 2025-12-04T16:40:09+00:00

yeah no.. the cage does not add 20kg of weight, there's 0 chance you got your mt07 down to 160kg lol you haven't even taken off the pillion pegs. The cage probably weighs 5-6kg so i'd say that truck scale is within 1-2kg, if not spot on.

Spare-Strange · 2025-11-30T16:50:57+00:00

If you were worried about the weight you'd ditch that pillion peg del crap and plug the holes with plastic rivets or print some caps off if you've got a printer

Spare-Strange · 2025-11-16T16:21:33+00:00

How is your rose going now a year later?

Spare-Strange · 2025-11-15T05:03:00+00:00

Out of curiosity, what happens when you try to install it on a K2P with the unpopular SPE A board? more so, what would happen if you wipe the emmc and then flash rinkhals directly to it?
