Hi. Long time lurker, first time poster.

I've been using the Q5ii emmc for the last 3-4 years. Just got a new Q30. Maybe someone can help me with the following.


- I'm connected via ethernet so I usually turn off the wifi on the box (as recommended in the manual). With the Q30, when I switch off the box for the night and turn it on again the next morning, the wifi turns itself on automatically. Is there a way to keep the wifi off? The Q5ii wifi stayed off even when the box is switched off and on again.

- The Q30 came preinstalled with FB, Skype and Kodi (among others). I uninstalled them but they reinstalled themselves immediately after. Is there a way to permanently uninstall them? Without rooting.

Thanks.

Thanks for replying.

The Q5ii emmc was a great box. I have two, both still running fine. Because of its low ram/rom, I run minimal apps on it and uninstalled those that I didn't need. Clearing cache and unnecessary data often helps. Terrarium TV still works very well on it until now.

My decision to get the Q30? I'm a retired uncle with a budget
I got it on Lazada at RM351 (RM371 with a RM20 discount code). Local seller, fast delivery. The Q5 Pro was marked at RM 469 at the time.

The Q30 has a scaled down SoC vs the the Q5 Pro (Hi3798M vs Hi3798C), Don't know the real difference though. It also has a lower spec GPU against the Q5 Pro from what I read (Mali 450 vs Mali 720) but I don't mind. Also, I only use a 2.1 soundbar so am not too particular about the audio capabilities.

Yeah, looks like I may be the only Q30 user around but no worries As for firmware, I updated it when I got the box, It's now on 2.0.4 20170517. The OTA function works great. Himediatech has released a latest FW 2.0.5 dated 11 Oct 2017 but I'm gonna wait a while.

All other functions are similar to Q5/Q10 Pro so I hope to learn from users of these 2 boxes.

Cheers

From Android 6 onwards, there is the feature to format the external SD card as internal storage. Just wanted to check, has any Q5/Q10 pro users been able to do this?
