    Hello. Just receive quad board and install android.
    Performance is so terrible so it's completely useless.
    When you plan to fix it?

    (Solved by chanching SD-card)

    Re: Why it so slooooooooooooooooooow?

    I'm running Udoo with Android for several months now and I don't see a (real) performance issue,
    actually it's quite smooth. If you check the forums you will also find performance tests like Antutu benchmarks showing
    that the performance is absolutely ok.

    So what exactly is slow on your end? Did you consider to try another SD card for maybe the one you are using could be the reason for slowing down the system a lot (class4 vs class 10 card).

    Browser is terrible.
    Lag in settings and so on.
    I use latest android version from doownload page.
    Today I try different sd card and report.
    Do you use your udoo every day in android in real life applications?

    I change my SD card from class 4 to class 10 and its about 10 times faster- browser, file manager, youtube app, and so on...

    The best way to check for I/O bottlenecks is looking at the wa percentage with top, which is the amount of time the cpu as to waiting for the disk / sd card .

    Re: Why it so slooooooooooooooooooow?

    Thank you guys.
    Seems like yesterday was "sd-card-problem-day".
    First I am for about 2 hours try to root nook simple touch, and then change sd and all succeed.
    After that I took that "good for nook" sd and it behave bad in udoo.
    Today I bought sandisk with "80mbps" as stated at the package and udoo works great. Video in hd, youtube, browser - all is fine!
    Tomorrow I try to install gapps and test it again.
    Greetings to developers!

    I could not see any difference between a standard class 10 and the super 75-80 mbps cards.
    But I did see a massive difference between class 4 and class 10 card.
    I started with a class 4 and it would take about 30 seconds between the log in name and password using ssh.

    Hi everyone

    Just a suggestion: Since class 10 microsd cards are so much better working, maybe it'd be a good idea to ship such a card in the starter pack. My Udoo came with a class 4 card and it's really pretty slow.

    It's indeed a good idea HemeDroid, we're actually discussing about switching from 4 to 10 and hopefully we'll be able to do it pretty soon.

    Hi,

    I ran a cpu benchmark that was done on the Raspberry Pi 2. Here are the results with running it on the Udoo Quad board.

    ____________________________________________________
    sysbench --num-threads=4 --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 run
    sysbench 0.4.12: multi-threaded system evaluation benchmark

    Running the test with following options:
    Number of threads: 4

    Doing CPU performance benchmark

    Threads started!

    Done.

    Maximum prime number checked in CPU test: 20000


    Test execution summary:
    total time: 152.4353s
    total number of events: 10000
    total time taken by event execution: 609.5836
    per-request statistics:
    min: 60.71ms
    avg: 60.96ms
    max: 134.97ms
    approx. 95 percentile: 61.14ms

    Threads fairness:
    events (avg/stddev): 2500.0000/4.06
    execution time (avg/stddev): 152.3959/0.02

    _________________________________________

    The Raspberry Pi 2 gives a time of:

    Raspberry Pi 2 195.9543 seconds / 3 minutes 16 seconds

    So this cpu is about 33 percent faster than a Raspberry Pi 2.

    Brad

    And what to do with such great performance with such "great" software?
    Support is worst ever.
    Instead of fixing bugs in current soft- and hardware they launch new site, and new project.
    I don't need new site, old was good enough. I don't need new board, cause I bought quad last year.
    I want to see good software.
    Where is for example power off button in Android?
    Where is spdif support?
    Where is Sata support?

    Hi there iddqd,
    we're aware of some of these problems and we're working to fix them. To answer your issues:
    -Regarding spdif support, you can see a way to make it work in this topic: http://www.udoo.org/forum/threads/can-rj45-port-be-added-to-dual-basic.2366/
    -Regarding SATA support, SATA works if you connect it to an external disk. Are you trying but not succeeding to boot UDOO from SATA? Here is a guide (http://udoo.org/docs/Advanced_Setup/UDOO_Boot_From_SATA). Have you encountered any error in the guide? In this case, please tell us, and we'll fix it.
    -Regarding Android, it is a tought task and we have no ETA about it honestly.
