Received the GPD today from Droidbox (This time there was no seal) although again the GPD seemed untouched. Firmware on 3.3.8. seems to be working quite well so far (Not tried charging it yet.. ) Seems to be an issue with Wi-fi, (although the previous one had similar issues as well). Connection starts strong, then gets weak after a while and seems to fluctuate between no transfer to low bandwidth until i let it rest for a while and then start downloading again.
More than likely a firmware issue perhaps...
what charger are you using right now? I have been using a standard samsung 2.0 A charger for 10 months without any issues charging it daily. I can recommend that (the
standard, cheap, 2.0 A samsung charger, NOT any other higer amp ones ) if you are now charging it via usb, since that takes forever. On the other hand, it also lasts forever, so it might not be a problem for you.
One thing: I believe this should not happen anymore, but do
not turn of the device while it is in the charger. You can charge it in standby, or first turn it off and THEN connect it to the charger after it's off, but putting it in the charger and then turning it off while it is charging and letting it lie for a few hours was a pretty sure way of frying at least the first batch(es) - GPD said so themselves. It should be fixed in hardware long ago, but you never know, so just saying'
