Hi, I've registered today here looking for help , I bought this tablet from dx , everthing works well, wifi, android apps, mp3, but video playback just don't work, every video that I try to play freeze the tablet, even "demo.mp4" internal video.

I have another problem (maybe not so important) with stand by mode, when the tablet is in stand by mode freeze again.

I've searched in another forums and I can't find people with that kind of problems.

I've installed the last firmware even , but I have the same problems.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

p.s Sorry for my English.

Welcome to the forum ransec

have you tried to install another player like MX Player... its a good choice and the MX Arm 7 Codec its free on Google play...

Also try a factory reset its in the settings> backup & reset and do a Factory data reset and wipe the lot, and start again

Last series of JXD S18 have not AMLogic SOC. This 3. series have Rockchip 2926 SOC. New is much better Soc than old one. You can see on DX customers pictures, and see that . This is S18-03-XXXX serial numbers.

I don't think there was ever one released for it, may be wrong but can't remember anything. It doesn't need a custom rom as it is basically a small media player and the stock rom works just fine for what it needs to do.

It isn't a gaming device as the screen is piezoelectric so fingers don't register as well and there is no USB OTG or TV out, for what it is the stock rom is fine. You may want to pick up a stylus for it (both resistive and capacitive types work) as it makes navigation easier, particularly if you're using XBMC.

Thanks, I have read if you remove the WiFi board ( A USB device in itself), you have access to the OTG pins. There also are pins for a camera and a capacitive touchscreen. The makeshift OTG is supposed to work without any powered hubs. I might wire up a female USB-A port when I get it.

Adding on to what I said, I'm a avid 3DS/DS hacker and developer, so I have 20 DS styluses around.

Hello all,

I am a new user over here. Just joined as Im in the search for the perfect rom for my jxd s18 v1, which have not had any good results. Although i find the s18 unique, like an android ipod touch, the performance, battery wise, has been a letdown. I find that the battery drains in two and a half hours or so. Tried skelrom and paulrom for the s601, however the touch screen wasnt recognized. And the bootloader seems to be locked, noticed this when Ivtried editing the update.zip n trying to flash it. I even tried the sysctl.conf mod in xda-developers, without success. I plan to use this as my pda and media player, so I do require a longer battery life. Even some build.prop tweaks couldnt help. Anyone able to advise or assist? Thanks in advance.

sorry, afaik there is no custom firmware for the jxd s18.
however since it has root, you can clean up the device a little by yourself
remove unnecessary apps (i dont remember if it had a phone.apk),
change settings in build.prop and underclock it via setcopu or a similar tool (i came to like antutu cpu master).
however i dont know if you can use audio equalizers with the s18. didnt use it for a long time.

p/s: though I'm puzzled as to why after giving it a full charge last night and letting it sleep, there was still a drop in battery life from 100 to 85%.
