For the black screen issue, I figured out by having the sound turned up, that the device was powered on, because I could hear the selections change when using the remote. I haven't had the issue in a while *knock on wood* I believe all I did last was toggle the auto switch to best resolution option to on in Display > Screen Resolution. Possibly did a reboot then as well.

Otherwise if you hear the icon sounds as changing, just press down a few times, OK to select the Power icon, down once and OK again to reboot.

I haven't seen a lot of people with 1800e posting about this upgrade. Is this firmware stable on this model?

Has there been any issues with backup and restore with kodi 16 . 1 or does that work fine? 

 

I backed up my Kodi and restored fine on his one. Restore still needs minor tweaks, but that takes only a few minutes for me to do.

What's going on with the new firmware Nov 23.  This new firmware cuts off half the cpu cores in Kodi.  I've tried every firmware file and Kodi shows up with 4 cpu cores but not this one.  Why is that?  Is that why my 1900AC is lagging so badly on startup and buffering during video playback on movies from the internet?  Is there an updated video driver that needs to be installed for the mali gpu?  So disappointed spending so much money on this crap.

I do believe because they are using a custom kernel, it turns cores on/off as needed. One time I checked, I saw CPU 0 and 1. Another reboot later, 0 and 3. I loaded CPU-Z to check that Android did see all the codes, which it saw 4, 3 were stopped, since the system was idle. If you run a few apps and switch back to it, it will show multiple running and you'll see them stop.

FYI I'm running this on an 1800E which CPU-Z also reported it as a 1900 and said it had root access, which I never ran the root patch.

Had issues with the remote and it not turning back on or off properly, but after a full reboot and unplugging the USB and plugging it back, it seems better!

Yes this will work on the 1800E

Thanks for the clarification Justin!

While the title also states the 1800E but it's not mentioned in that device section or notes, just want to confirm this same firmware will work?

Thanks!
