Frequently asked questions

My Smart is stuck at the boot screen and doesn't load into MainUI

This is likely because your Smart is on an older firmware incompatible with Quark's app store-patched MainUI (i.e. 0.116alpha)

Please ensure your Smart is updated to firmware v1.0.0, see the instructions here

How can I use L2 and R2 buttons?

Enable Menu + L/R -> L2/R2 in the Settings menu within MainUI.

MENU + L and MENU + R combos will respectively be mapped to L2 and R2 buttons.

My MP3s are playing slower/faster than they should

Quark's built in MP3 player uses 44100Hz as the sample rate. You'll need to make sure that the MP3s you are playing are of this sample rate - higher or lower sample rates (i.e. 48000Hz or 22050Hz) will cause your audio to be played slower or faster with pitch changes.
