OK, You're an ass. This is obviously a price mistake and when they see people ordering 20-30 at a time there will be ZERO chance it will go through. It is probably meant to be a 1cent with purchase of xxxxx.

I followed the link provided, and it worked! I wasn't able to adjust the number of items in my cart, though. It only let me buy one headset (wanted to buy for the wife and kids too - early Christmas shopping), but one is better than none, I suppose.
Just bought one. Can't change quantity though. Purchased from cell phone. thanks for the heads up!

i'm going to the link specified on the woot page, but not seeing how to add it to my cart. Cant find it in the accessories pages either. a simple search for bh505 or any variant of it doesn't return any results. Any help would be appreciated.
I've searched online and haven't had much luck finding a comparison of a rooted fire TV box and the many available android HDMI sticks/dongles/boxes that are based on the RK3188/RK3288 SOC platform.
I plan on cutting the cord from my cable company next month and want the best performance and app compatibility, I've found great deals on both options, but would like some feedback about the pros and cons of each.
If anyone has any helpful insight it would be gratefully appreciated!
The stick devices have unusable wifi and Bluetooth. I used a usb to Ethernet dongle and the device is cheaply made and overheats.sits in a drawer now. Not sure of box devices. Happy with ftv for 4 months now

Yeah I know the earler versions of the sticks had wifi issues but from what I have read the latest versions have resolved all of those issues.
Apparently I can't post links yet, but if you google CS928 RK3288 you will see which box I am considering.
Agreed. Mk3s and mk4 with mk4 based on rk3188. Riko magic remote purchased too. Remote came broken and Alibaba had 3 day return policy and I went away for weekend. and rikomagic people did not answer. 3 products purchased and complete disgust with that name brand. Buyer beware
Well you know what they say... you get what you pay for. This is cheap Chinese crap made with cheap Chinese garbage processors.

Okay thanks for the info. Riko Magic is not the brand I am considering RK3188/RK3288 are made by RockChip and are just the SOC (system on a chip) component of the overall device. The box I am considering had nothing at all to do with Riko Magic.
What I am really interested in is the performance difference in the Fire TV's Qualcomm Quad Core Krait 300 CPU and the Quad-Core Cortex-A17 CPU found in the RK3288 SOC and how they perform in the Android OS environment.

Well I can get the Fire TV for about half the price as the CS928 so would that mean the Fire TV is worse?

I just found one for $110 (http://dealsprime.com/mini-pc/cs928-android-4-4-tv-box.html). I'm not quite sure how that's twice as much... But the statement not only applies to actual price but the fact that you are either buying a quality product from an American company or some crap slapped together by some fly by night chinese company.

Yeah I can get a Fire TV for about $55 with a coupon. I'm not really concerned about the country of origin as opposed to the performance of the components. Thanks for your opinion, but I am looking for someone who might have first hand knowledge/experience with these two exact products.

I have the CS918S set top with the built in Camera and it is a solid performer. I also have a couple UG007B that work perfect and they are half the price of the FTV.
Even with good performance they still can't compete with the hardware in the FTV.
But with the A31 and RK3188 is you can easily find or make a ROM or make your own. I have done a couple of the sticks for friends with modified boot images and deodexed rooted systems.
I bought a minix X8-H at the same time that I bought a FireTV, one box for me and one for my folks. Overall it's a very nice unit and has been rock solid, which is better then my past experiences with the chinese boxes. It's not as buttery smooth as the FTV but it's more then adequate. Having 3 USB ports and an airmouse out of the box is nice as well.
The only big gap I found between the two is that the Netflix performance on FTV is far better. Even with many tweaks I could never get HD working on the Minix. That was enough for me to go with FireTV in the end.

I tried the Keedox® M8 Amlogic S802 Quad Core Cortex A9r4 2.0GHz. On paper it looks like it should compare well and was $85 at the same time the fire TV was on sale for the same. The M8 just wasn't as smooth so I went with the fireTV and returned the M8.
Qualcomm Krait300 (snapdragon600)/Areno320 processors beat Rockchip3188/Mali400 hands down.
In 3D performance up to 3 times faster, in general use little over half as fast as the FireTV.
All the top phones and tablets are based on nextgen snapdragon 800 or sgx in different variations.
It clearly seems to be the top SoC along with SGX(or apple)/PowerVR.
It also gives most performance per watt, RockChip isent really designed the same way that's why you don't see them in phones/tablets they use more power and run hotter.
.
Btw. I tested this with a few benmarking tools such as linpack, 3dmark, etc
Another strong appeal is feel, And it's first android box i've been able to call: a firm stable android-streaming platform. Ofcause it also has a very steady background with big key players and developers.

dont have a rk3288, but i have a rk3188 (and a rk3088).. vs firetv there is no competition, firetv wins in all aspects. hopefully they made huge improvements on rk3288 but i doubt it will be worth the usual chinese problems (bad antenas, bad roms, faulty hardware, no support, misleading hardware (selling you a rk3188 but actually getting a rk3188T which is a crappier made soc) etc...)
plus the firetv is actually cheaper (guess they want to buy the market XD )
Does anyone know where I can find a sandstone black back? I have the silk white and I want to switch to the sandstone. Any help would be nice.

If you add multi-touch select and custom color per-account to the stock OPO CM (AOSP) eMail client I'll give you the one off of mine. (never used it without a case and it's less than a week old currently).
The other thing I would like to see added is the option to block "Access Device ID" in the privacy settings. I see that the stock email client needs permission to access my device's ID and I neither understand why it would need that, nor want it to have permission to access it.
I only responded with those requests because I see you say you are learning coding. However, I have to assume it won't be too long until someone who's purchased a bamboo cover for their sandstone black model will offer to either give you theirs or sell it to you at a reasonable price.
Good luck and regards,
Christopher

eBay or aliexpress. eBay will probably be quicker if you order from within your own country, but aliexpress will probably be cheaper (but from China). Keep in mind that you can order simply the back, or you can order it with the NFC antenna. Without the NFC it'll probably be under $10USD, but more like $30 for the one with NFC installed.

When I say code I mean like C# and Web Development, I've not done too much with android outside of compiling from source using git. The device id part I don't understand that either, I mean it's AOSP and unless it's sending out user data then it shouldn't be a privacy issue.

Well I call myself ThdROMguy because I've tried tons and tons of different Roms throughout my few android devices. I need one with the NFC and everything on it.
Just received my chrome E6853 from Amazon, courtesy of the "High Voltage converter store". My concern is that the box was not wrapped/sealed. Everything looks legit though, such as the plastic on the front and back, accessories. However, when powered on, it seems that it had been powered on because it went straight to the home screen, bypassing the setup process. Also, not sure if its normal, but there are a couple of apps that have Chinese or Japanese fonts, thus IM not sure what one of them was. One was MZ+, which is in the play store. The other I couldnt figure out, other than it was a robot icon . Also the language was set in Japanese.
Anyone else get an open box, or similar apps? Maybe it was customs? Phone is working great, has no flaws. Also, taped to the box was the adapter for US power outlets, which I didnt need. View attachment 3643423 Anyone know what app this is? Thanks
I would, just for security purposes and privacy concerns, factory reset it. In case they installed any apps that have permissions that could have access to personal information, I would factory reset it. My 2 cents

I agree, and once I got the language set to English, I did do so! I wanted to make sure the phone had the setup procedure(never ordered an international phone before) like Android should. Thanks!
You have the Taiwan Version of the phone.

Here is the response from the seller- it does make some sense, especially with Tidbits comment.
Hi
Sony international do not seal there products. We assure you that the phone is BRAND NEW. The only reason they turn on the product is to switch the language. We are sorry that it wasnt changed. We can help you change the language can you please provide us a phone number so we can help you change it.
Hi friends,
I'm using Robin for one and a half years. Last week I faced a huge problem. The problem is If I removed my phone from the charger it gets switched off but if I put it in power save mode it can stable to 50%. Is there anyone facing these kinds of a problem or if anyone knows how to fix this please say me. I feel that the reason for the problem is the battery. If so where can I get an original battery or replacement battery!!!!! please, friends, help me.

The only place I know of to buy a new battery is the site that won't ship outside India. There are used batteries pulled from non-working or allegedly never used phones on eBay, but those are at least a little risky.
The other link I shared is a post from someone who figured out a way to get a similar battery from an Oppo phone to work with the Robin. But it is an involved process not everyone (including myself) is comfortable doing.
The bottom line is that I don't know of anywhere in the US to buy a new and never used Nextbit Robin replacement battery.

You'd better buy a new phone.
Similar issue here, if power hungry apps are started (like camera or new GMaps) and battery is 50% or lower, it just dies. I'm in Singapore and had no luck finding replacement battery. Pixel 3 coming tomorrow as replacement, farewell Robin, I liked you.
Robin will be downgraded to some sort of smart home touch panel device to listen to music and control lights. Maybe even Google Assistant? We will see.
