Got few good apk, tried them on Android 6 but not working as unable to change hardware code to software code...

But it works well on Android 5 below... Sometimes I wish it's easy to just downgrade to Lollipop..

That's the reason why I purposely bought a 5.1.1 box instead of 6.0. tongue.gif

me too. thanks to Khalid21 for advice.

but the X96 model S905X android 6.0 2G/16G box is generally cheaper than those S905 2G/8G box sweat.gif

since last week i see on lazada, those S912 box price increase, S905X box price decrease, and less S905 with 2GB ram box available liao…those S905 box with dual band wifi price increase a lot.

This one. Wow, price increased so much!! I bought on 12.12 for 202.65 after discount from actual price - 230.28. Plus, I have another 5% cash back from my credit card, so I paid less than RM 200.

Still got cheaper deal from other sellers: http://www.lazada.com.my/docooler-m9s-pro-...g-12472624.html and http://www.lazada.com.my/docooler-m9s-pro-...g-16684188.html

Thanks for the name, found a link on taobao can get less than Rm200
BTW, do you get fullhd Netflix steaming on that box?
Also, how long was the delivery time since you bought from oversea store?
*
in lazada, i trust both these 2 sellers: TomTop and TomNet.
bought things from them several times already, all delivered in 1 week.

netflix fullhd i think you need certain drm permission to watch, normally cheap android box can't do it if not mistaken.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Dec 30 2016, 01:08 PM)
I don't have Netflix account and never try it. I may when I have the time. laugh.gif YouTube is full HD though.
I have China visitors coming in from China or China colleagues go back China every month, bought plenty of stuff from Taobao but not box. Afraid it's geo-locked or without Google Play Store, later I susah because I'm quite a noob. laugh.gif
*
just ask the taobao seller if the box 固件 (firmware) is 外贸 (export model) with 谷歌服务 (google service)

Weekend guys...laying on the couch and watch tv? laugh.gif

just tested some iptv apks from that fb tv box group. (too messy, many apks there but not well organized and introduced)

so far Rice and 云视界 combo work best for me (mostly China & HK tv).

I quite like this 云视界 because it has best menu with well organized general tv and specific content. Too bad it doesn't include TVB Jade channel, otherwise i can just uninstall the Rice and solely rely on it.

There are at least a dozen of them. biggrin.gif

Some of them go down for a day or a week, then resurrected.

I only have 3 or 4 as a combo, use whichever works when put on.

Hello ...
I had been using android box... about 6 years ago , yes agreed that there are thousands out there ,
But lately I found this one to be very good .

Exspecially the apps of UBTV...

This apps UBTV ..  is part of the marketing strength of this unit ..
No need to pay extra for  iptv channel .. for HKG , TAIWAN AND MALAYISA ..
I been using it for few month , so far very stable ..

I will highly recommend ... the android version is  5.1. ( very high ) .. so far ..
*
the app need login username and password?

if not how could they make it proprietary? else ppl will just copy out the app and use on other box.

any screenshot of the app interface?

I bought this set at jaya digital mall . Cost about 599 ,,, ( cannot remember the actual cost ).

this explains why people come in this thread and ask for box recommendation.

btw, how long they guarantee the apps work? (which translated to cost per subscription duration)

Some buys bcos they are unfamiliar, did not bother to research or perhaps wants an easier way to perhaps consistent media entertainment option as opposed to current eg xtro. Seller who sells them also needs to earn some profit hence explains the price range. We all know its not as straight forward and there's time spent to install working apks and especially Kodi so new users can enjoy as much as possible.

I bought my 1st box from Nicety, paid abt RM400 for the Q16 Quad more than a couple of years ago. If you ask me, would i pay so much today now that i'm familiar with android box, i would say YES & NO. YES for a Himedia (Q10 Pro in the future) as i've good experience, proven reliability, support & want an upgrade for my primary use. NO, if its not for primary use/ as back up unit. 

Then again with the existence of such thread thumbup.gif, it provides avenue for newbies and existing users to share opinion, suggestions, solutions and new things abt android box in hope everyone will get their best experience out of their boxes
*
1. yea, those who have paid thousand for asteruk for years will think this kind of box very good for value.

2. can't agree more himedia good in quality thumbup.gif
