I also noticed this and was just writing about it in my review of this box, from what I see the CPU is factory set to 1.2Ghz but you can use all 4 cores, although when it is Idle 2 cores are sleeping by default it seems. I tried to set to 1.5Ghz with No Frills CPU Control but failed(broken pipe)so root might be required. Can anyone confirm this, is 1.5Ghz possible.
When you press "O" on the keyboard it displays codecinfo ==> http://kodi.wiki/view/Codecinfo it only shows two cores being used at any time.
Most likely cpu governor is set to hotplug. Change it to ondemand with no frills cpu control(root required).
Yes I think that 1.5Ghz needs to be attainable, although as far as the 4 cores is concerned, isn't this only an issue in Kodi?
hi: It has the DVFS module,it control the cpu 480Mhz~1.2Ghz.when the cpu is idle,and it will only two core with 480Mhz. We tested the most part, the situation is very unusual 4-core 1.2Ghz. We can input the command "cpu_monitor -s 500" to test the cpu.
It would best to modify the 1.5 in the marketing then because it will likely make customers unhappy when they find out that it cannot be reached.
well to be fair it is advertized as not being exactly 1.5Ghz, its Up to 1.5Ghz but still if you guys knew it could not handle above 1.2Ghz then you should have just put @ 1.2Ghz to be honest so blue is right.
It is the kind of thing that will likely put mistrust into the minds of purchasers, so for the sake of not risking the ruination of what is to date a good reputation, it should be modified.
Correct. And why write 1,5ghz when its not reached "ever". Whats bugging me more is that as far as I can see NO Airmouses works correctly: I have a Rii Mini Keyboard (with touchpad) its like something is interfering as the mouse cursor is moving like its crazy. The same with a Tracknet device (also keyboard plus touchpad) and the famous F10 Mele Pro. So why did you Zidoo guys didn't test the device with airmouses ?!?
I've had similar problems with 2 of my mice. In the end I had to use a powered USB hub and even then I had to keep it a good foot away from the X1 to get a reasonable reception.
Ok, but still Zidoo should have done more testing here. If there isn't enough power or there are interferences than there is a hardware-design error. I will test a different power-supply since zidoo has only a 2A...maybe with 3A there will be more success.
No. I don't know if its power or some interference but in the current state all of my input devices (except the x1 remote) are allmost non-usable .
