  • Does Android going to deep sleep mode on power button press?

There is no power button soldered on ROCK Pi 4C, but we reserved the button pad, you can just solder one. Android will go deep sleep mode with system setting timeout. In sleep mode, the current from our testing is 15mA@10V voltage.

Thanks for reply, definitely going to place order.
About sound looks like better to use USB DAC.
@Shine do you plan to try enable BT Sink to use rockpi as headset ?

Hi
Please test the following firmware (Android10):
ROCKPI 4B
ROCKPI 4C

Open Bluetooth Sink:
enable : TunerSettings -> Bluetooth -> Bluetooth Sink.

If Wait... dialog not dismiss, you can enable bluetooth in status bar, or reboot rockpi4.
You can pair Rockpi on your phone and play music to Rockpi, which will play audio via HDMI.
