Can anyone help me. I am using myiptv on my Himedia Q1 and home default had been set to this app. Now i cannot exit this app. When I press Home button or back button it will go to iptv app menu. turn off and on also will open the app back.

Who you buy from, maybe they can help you out.

The device or the app?

Ask the App vendor first, then the Device Vendor. Check whether your remote got any other button which can go direct to setup to change the default Home.

Just bought HiMedia Q8 last saturday, everything works great but found out that the screen didn't fill up my 40" full hd TV, it has a small black border around it. Kinda annoying.

Also found out that youtube and xbmc stuck at 720p eventhough the device can support up to 4k resolution. Any idea why?

that can't be normal. i do not know this model but u can try the different options under settings->display.

youtube - that's due to a technical issue for youtube and androidbox-hdmi:

you mean cannot set xbmc/kodi to 1080p at kodi/video/settings? for older/lower models, that's correct due to older hardware/kernel.
for newer quadcore 4.4, should be able to, like q16.
first, check yr device display settings at launcher page.

The current firmware was from Himediatech's website. But I guess no harm reverting to the previous firmware, hopefully it solves all the issues.

Go to the setting page, there is somewhere you can set the screen size under display option, go to "display area set".
Follow the instruction.

u replied to the wrong person.

The official website FW are the ones which are the most problematic for 910A model. Maybe they sell diff models for their China Market and Intl Market which causes FW problems, not sure.

Regarding your original FW problem of Black Screen, it might be related to some MKV movies which were encoded with Header Compression. After you revert to your previous FW, you should test other MKVs which have been known to work before to make sure it is not only some movies.

Yea, I was wondering whether the FW had incompatibility as you described. Trust China to not provide proper documentation for an international product.

After reverting back to the original FW, it seems like no issues have cropped up. Fingers crossed and hopefully no black screen or other issues occur.

thank you, i have fix the border issue by setting the display area.
This Q8 actually a new device release this year, same spec with q16 except the eMMC size only 8gb instead of 16gb but not sure why they using
720p kernel instead of 1080p.

Also just found out a lot of app like Iflix, Astro On The Go and HypTV everywhere cant be use/work properly with this device. Thinking to sell it and buy
different brand, but not sure if Minix can support all the apps.

u probably would hv been better off with q16 - the larger memory is required for some bigger apps like popcorntime, less concern for running out of space.

for aotg, hypptv, etc... my experience has been:

- aotg works on older models with jellybean 4.2 but not on kitkat 4.4; works on tablets, ipads
- hypp - used to work on all models but now works on none; works on tablets, ipads

i can only conclude either the apps are too old or the newer firmwares/hardware left some old apps incompatible - similar to the youtube 1080p hdmi output issue.

to be sure the apps u want will work, u do need to reconfirm with users and knowledgeable sellers.

one app i recommend u try on yr q8 is this iptv:
http://tvapp.so/

it did NOT work on the q16 until the latest firmware arrived last week. it's a good app, try it.

Free Acer 7in Tablet came with the 24mth deal hence the handcuffs....sigh
Once over I may take Maxis fastest fiber BBand....any comments?

dude what the latest firmware you installed? I tried to run it on my Q6 1.0.7 and its says not compatible.

MINIX X8H plus is compatible with hypptv everywhere (phone version, but not tablet version) and Astro On The Go. I never tried Iflix.

Astro On The Go using browser or apps?

Apps bro.

hi can anyone tell me where to download the english firmware for hd600a ii ?
thanks..

anybody have any hypptv acc? i wanna try use it...
