JXD Android tablets ??

[ElSeven]

has anyone tried these out? I need a new device to use while traveling and these look pretty awesome.  I'm sure quality control is an issue though, considering the price point...

[roflmao]

I'd say.  Even their image is broken.

I own the device you have pictured above. First rule of thumb with devices like these, don't buy them for how they come stock. The JXD 7300b works like shit outta the box. After updating with third party firmware, and installing better emulators and games it works very well. The D-pad is a tad soft, but sound is very good, the screen is excellent, compatibility after custom firmware is very good, and the machine is extremely fast for what it is.

Maybe we can get a few other android lovers on board with this thread and workout some details on stuff like dosbox and emulators.

if i may ask, where did you order it from?  Willgoo seems to be pretty popular, but they ran out of the white model so I'll have to try somewhere else.

from willgoo, and honestly my preference is black. When the white gets dirty its much easier to see. when you do get yours, let me know. i have got alot of stuff running on custom roms, but am having trouble with stuff like dosbox turbo.

Don't all of these JXD devices have sound lag still?  Plus, it has android.    I wish open source hardware developers would switch back to using Linux.

[HercTNT]

depends on what emulator or program your using and how well they were programmed. I have zero sound lag in quality emulators and programs. the ones that are unoptimized or pure shit, have a wide range of problems. android works fine for most things and it not always the problem.

I had no idea these existed.  Those 7300s sure look sweet.

from what I understand, the Yinlips line of mobile gaming devices are notorious for their sound lag, while the JXDs fair better in this category.  Right now the biggest issue plaguing the JXD S7300 is that the screen is locked at 50Hz , making some emulators choppy.

Problems aside, this thing looks pretty rad.

While it *looks* absolutely terrific, so have a lot of other "emulation handhelds" from the past decade or so and most of those were always just shy of being good enough to really get into.

I'll stick with my Gameboy/NeoGeoPocket/DS/Wonderswan/whatever. At least I know what I'm getting into and I don't have to spend the entire weekend f*cking with it to get it to work properly.

Well no wonder, if it takes you a week maybe its not for you. I had stuff up and running in a few minutes

Latest custom firmware link. These guys are really making the jxd shine.

Honestly, I don't notice the slow screen refresh myself. If someone were a perfectionist i imagine it would matter, but it does not bother me at all. This machine is very fast and capable of playing some of the most demanding android titles. The screen refresh issue may infact get fixed as the screen is thought to be capable of 75hz.

Bump for an update. Jxd has been contacted by members responsible for the custom firmware. Jxd has agreed to release the source code for the 7300b. hopefully this winds up to be true as all the remaining issues, especially the 50hz screen, can most likely be fixed. If so, the 7300b will become in my opinion the best gaming hand held for the price.

I saw this on the dingoonity forums as well, which is pretty exciting!  Sadly I am still having trouble tracking down a White model, as they appear to be sold out everywhere (including site's that list it as 'in stock'...).  At this point I will just be patient and purchase it when willgoo restocks, as they seem to have a great rapport with the community.

Thanks for posting this. I just ordered one for a two week trip I'm taking at the end of the month. Looks like the best portable PCE around and the price is low enough that if it gets lost or damaged, it won't be a big deal.
