Android Media Player: Problems and Possible Solutions. QUOTE An informative article to understand a little what you can expect when you buy a Cheap Media Player It is not a way to alarm you, but rather to understand that there are always bugs in this type of boxes and some possible resolution solutions. Compiled article from my experience and from reports that I see from staff with other boxes. As they must have repaired at the moment the boxes in vogue by default are Amlogic S905X or Amlogic S912, and the article will be in order to expose all the problems related to these boxes. Without forgetting that they are boxes lowcost, any box costing 50 €/$ or less are quite prone to have some bugs because little time is invested in developing a ROM in conditions for the box. Many people don't even notice, because the errors are not always consistent and depend a lot on the TV where they will use the box and location of the router. What they can think is the cheaper the box, the more these problems. In Cheaper boxes in the range of 50 €/$, will be less, but at least HD sound may never work on amplifiers. If they are going to use KODI, IPTV and multimedia applications and some games, yes they will work, but there are always some tweaks you can do as well as problems they can detect. One way or another in all my experience I try to find these problems, however there with my setup TV / Router I don't see a lot of problems that get mentioned or others have. As you can see depending on your use may be boxes that will give more or less problems, but they always exist, for the price at which they are sold it is impossible to be perfect boxes. Many of these boxes are only salable because there are people in forums like the freaktab that takes these boxes and loses the time the manufacturer has not lost (and not invested to lower the price), and develops a ROM in conditions! You can always then compare my boxes low cost top 2016 with my top of the best boxes 2016 . Many of these problems with a resolution can find tutorials on my channel youtube to easily solve, there are already many targeted at KODI and walk to work in other more directed to the pits. KODI with Dark Image Some TV's there is incompatibility in the way the default brightness of the box is read and is kept to a minimum (automatic brightness). Possible solutions: - Search Custom ROM that has been corrected; - Try apps of this kind to try to fix this: Display Brightness KODI with green image It is not as common, but in this case one has to disable hardware acceleration Follow this tutorial: Fix Black Screen KODI always installs addons after a boot Quite possibly the box comes with a custom KODI. Solution: Go to application settings, remove the cache and data and remove the application, follow this tutorial to uninstall the preinstalled kodi and install KODI directly from google store. KODI and 4K formats Sometimes 4K may not have the best result in terms of fluid imaging. This also depends sometimes on ROM optimization. Possible solutions: - Search for updated ROM or custom ROM; - Check if KODI installed is official and will not be some custom or outdated version. Audio pass-through for amplifiers Correctly none of these boxes will make the audio pass. It usually only gives DTS and DD but in most of them it has a bug with the audio and in the audio passage every 10 seconds it fails. For DD +, TrueHD, DTS-MA, DTS-HR, formats do not contain these boxes to pass audio. There fix :Follow this tutorial Netflix HD These boxes will only give Netflix SD (720x480), do not usually have widevine certification higher than L3 and also have no Netflix certification for HD content or higher. Netflix does not give In some cases I have detected that netflix does not give the cheapest boxes, since it comes with the "changed" libraries, in this case sometimes it is necessary to remove some files or replace with other more functional ones. (Tutorial under development) Youtube HD or 4K Again for 4K they need certification so they will never give up. As for 1080p or 720p if they do not give in that format is firmware problem, only with custom ROM or with some correction by the mark. Framerate switch In android 6.0 on the Amlogic S905X and S912 the switch for the image to get more fluid does not work under conditions. Applications that reappear after being removed In this case follow the previous tutorial to remove pre-installed applications. Language always changing to Chinese after a boot Problems related to HDMI-CEC due to ROM's little optimized, many neither option has to activate or deactivate, however it comes active by default. Possible solutions: - Turn off the HDMI-CEC on TV; - Check that it is possible to deactivate the HDMI-CEC in the box. Wifi intermittent It has already been detected that many boxes give problems in the reception wifi in router in (especially), in that the connection is always turning on or off. Always try a different channel on your router Possible solutions: - Place the router with WPA protection; - Disable AC network on router and pass only to g / n or b / g / n; - Set static IP (sometimes problems in DHCP assignment). Wifi weak or slow There is not much to do, most of the boxes have a very small internal antenna. Most of the boxes comes with a chipset that indicates AC, but in reality it is fake AC, since the speeds are more consistent with standard N. Possible solutions: - Connecting cable; - Try to approach the router; - DIY to put external antenna (involves welding and changing the box to have internal antenna). Malware preinstalled Some boxes have already been detected to come with malware. Solution: Install Malwarebytes from Google Play. Box shuts off Probably overheating problems. Possible solutions: - Custom ROM; - More/Better Ventilation, - Laptop Cooler Source: aminhacasadigital |

Guys,
I just recently changed my internet provider. I was trying to connect my MXQ PRO running on Android 5.1 but the WIFI name cannot be found. The setup of my home network is that I have a modem and router which has a wifi name similar to each other. Any thoughts why it couldn't find the WIFI hotspot on my andorid box? appreciate the help! |
