Here is a board with answers to commonly asked questions about the RP2.<br />
<br />
== '''OTA Upgrades ''' ==<br />
<br />
Q: Can I not upgrade OTA? The current version addresses my current needs.<br />
It is recommended to upgrade. RP2 will be continuously optimized according to customer needs, and the optimized content will be updated via an OTA.<br />
<br />
Q: How do I upgrade via OTA?<br />
Open it up. Here's a detailed tutorial. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qz3H2imk2peb4tHcqSLIGf7OdcVpHAdl/view?usp=sharing<br />
<br />
Q: Can I uninstall Upgrade Repair APK?<br />
Of course, Upgrade Repair APK will no longer be required when your system has the Upgrade APK.<br />
<br />
Q: Can I use the original SD Card to install this file and switch to the 128 GB Internal Storage Card?<br />
Yes, OTA download is stored on The SD Card, so you have to insert the SD Card, after the update, you can switch to your internal SD Card.<br />
<br />
Q: When I select "Check Update", why does the signature verification fail?<br />
Please contact your seller to confirm that your signature is activated.<br />
<br />
Q: Why was my Android system emptied after I upgraded to 8.1/Lineage OS?<br />
Before you upgrade, it's version 6.0, and the apps and data aren't compatible with Android 8.1/Lineage OS, so it will be cleared.<br />
<br />
== '''Common SD Card Problems ''' ==<br />
<br />
Q: How do I add games?<br />
Retroid OS: Place your games in the SD:\Games\ directory. If you don't see your games after adding them, press the home button to enter the Settings, enter the Game Settings, select 'External Game Management', select your ROM type/file and press A to add it.<br />
Android OS: Place them into your file directory like this: SD:\ROMs\corresponding game type.<br />
<br />
Q: Why does my SD card still have storage space, but it will prompt that I have insufficient memory and fail to transfer files?<br />
Because we downloaded files onto it first and installed them; it took twice as much space to complete, and we left some free space to keep it running properly.<br />
<br />
Q: Why can't I see my SD Card when my RP2 is plugged into my computer?<br />
To view the contents of the SD card, you need to remove the SD card and plug in an SD Card Reader to connect to your computer.<br />
<br />
Q: I accidentally deleted my SD Card's files/formatted my SD Card; what do I do?<br />
Copy this to your SD Card: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Li1LR9Lc9-cMIFtM7UXWPB8oDDTPqtAi/view?usp=sharing<br />
<br />
Q: Can I exchange the provided 32 GB SD Card for a larger one?<br />
Of course, but please note that the largest card in our official testing is 128 GB. If you use a larger card, there may be some minor issues.<br />
<br />
== ''' Common Battery Problems ''' ==<br />
<br />
Q: How long does it take for the battery to be fully charged?<br />
It takes 2.5 to 3 hours to fully charge.<br />
<br />
Q: I still can't turn on my handheld after charging it.<br />
After entering battery protection, the RP2 needs to be charged for 6-12 hours before being booted. Usually, the battery protection is caused by excessive battery exhaustion, but other external factors can cause it to enter this state.<br />
<br />
Q: I just got my handheld, but the battery drains pretty fast.<br />
Don't worry, the battery just isn’t calibrated yet. Just charge it completely and drain it a few times naturally.<br />
<br />
Q: How long will my battery last when fully charged?<br />
Retroid OS: About five hours.<br />
Android OS: About three hours.<br />
<br />
== '''Retroid OS''' ==<br />
<br />
Q: Can I play my Retroid OS library on Android?<br />
Retroid OS and Android are separate operating systems, so no.<br />
<br />
Q: Can Retroid OS can be updated separately?<br />
No! Android can't be updated separately either!<br />
<br />
Q: Why can't I save my game(s)?<br />
Not all games can be archived; if the archiving feature fails, it is most likely be related to that specific game.<br />
<br />
Q: I suddenly can't get into the game market.<br />
Check whether your SD Card is inserted correctly, whether your network is smooth, and restart the RP2. If you still can't solve your problem, please contact Retroid customer support.<br />
<br />
Q: I didn't plug in my headphones; why is my device saying they're connected?<br />
This is a small internal bug, but it will not affect normal use.<br />
<br />
Q: How does the search function work? Why can't I find a certain game?<br />
Certain games are searched by pinyin (Chinese) initials, while others are searched by keywords.<br />
<br />
Q: I want to delete all of my games. What's the password to do so?<br />
55555555<br />
<br />
== '''Android OS''' ==<br />
<br />
Q: Will Android be upgraded to Android 9 or Android 10?<br />
There will be no major operating system updates after 8.1., but 8.1 will continue to be optimized by the community/developers through official OTAs and CFW.<br />
<br />
Q: Why do I have delay and lag?<br />
Too many programs running in the background can cause lag, so close unnecessary apps in the app switcher.<br />
<br />
Q: I didn't plug my headphones; why does my device say they're connected?<br />
This is a small internal action, but will not affect normal use.<br />
<br />
Q: Why do my emulators run so slowly? The Task Manager shows 50% CPU usage even when idle.<br />
The process "android.process.media" might be indexing thumbnails and boxarts on the SD Card. You can prevent the indexing by adding an empty ".nomedia" file to the SD card.</div>70.77.251.153
