This one
I think I might bought a faulty unit because I only use it yesterday and this morning it's already dead.
*
Dead as in no power light at the box, nothing on tv or ??

Did it ever worked?

If dead dead, bought overseas, habis.

If bought online, try refund or replacment.

Unlikely u can find repair service locally.

It's working yesterday. But today it just freeze with graphical artifacts.
I had to unplug and plug in to reboot. Unfortunately it wont boot up after several attempt ON/OFF process...
In the end, only the LED turned ON but my TV didnt detect any video input from HDMI.
Bear in mind, the freeze and artifacts also happens in Android recovery boot menu.

Did the seller scammed me? Because all the Lazada review are OK to me...

Try unpluging the tv power.

Sometimes, the tv cannot detect, need a reset.

If that is not the problem, it has to be the box.

OR... the power adapter is faulty, which is quite common.

Sorry guys if this not the correct forum to ask the above Question. But, just wondering if anyone faced this problem and know a solution. Seems pretty simple and that's why it is annoying smile.gif

If u take the box like astro box... buy just press buttons forever, u r dead wrong.

Android box needs love n affection, care and attention.

Solution is to learn what goes on inside the box, DIY to update, upgrade and install new stuff.

Short of that, it become just another empty box.

Hello,
anything need to take considerations when buying Android box from China?
E.g: Is power rating compatible to use here?

BTW, can you recommend any apps/apk/launcher/Xposed modules to make the best home entertainment experience (aside from Kodi/SPMC)?
*
my advice to u, like voncrane said, buy from local with warranty and support if u are new to such a box.

if u know enough about it, can buy any box from anywhere, u can make it work. short of a lemon unit.

there are plenty of good apps, u just need to read, google, test, try, etc.

kodi - it is not as easy to use well as some people think... will need effort, time n patience.

get started, all the best!

Anyone can suggest me android tv box that can provide Malaysia Tv or more too More to translated korean tv show.

Currently i live in Japan but i need the box for my mother who will staying for a month here.

Thank you in advance
*
the key word is CAN.

stop thinking in terms of a box all ready to do what u want permanently - it does not work like that.

think in terms an empty fridge, what food u or others will put in it.

u can put good food or garbage in it.

after a while, the food will rot, need to junk rotten and get fresh.

when u buy a box, there CAN be some food inside.

but they may not be what u want, so u need to find and put in what u want.

takes work n maintenance to keep going.

Yes from my mobile ES Explorer transfer to box's ES File Explorer. I can't seem to transfer using PC...

Simplest way is to use samba.

Just need do the right settings at pc windows, put files in right folder, grant access for box.

Then, at box es file explorer, u can access it.

Google, windows instructions, steps quite clear.

If your box has native or installed media networking app, can do same.

Got it. I will try again.
Samba eh? I will Google more. biggrin.gif
By the way, I see you guys keep recommending Nvidia Shield? My boss is in the US now, is it that good? laugh.gif
*
the common name is samba.

windows call it network sharing.



nvidia shield.. good observation!

due to the cost, i count only 1 (ONE) user here.

it is a top of the range box for serious users incl gaming and hd audio.

and for those willing to pay for paid services like netflix and the like.

those lookinhg for free ahem axtroo will not buy it. laugh.gif

Amp does not have hdmi  sweat.gif
If direct from box optical out convert to RCA into amplifier, the HDMI still able to output sound to TV? Becoz only going to use Amp/speaker when karaoke only.
*
yes.

box "digitial" audio output - usually 2 of them - coaxial (single RCA) and toslink (optical).

old AVR's w/o hdmi should have both of them; both can do dts/dd.

either will work.

i am using like that too.

as long the sound setting in android tv box set to pcm or spdif.
if set to hdmi then only hdmi got sound. that's how my box works.

*
Only one works at a time?

Cannot have hdmi for tv audio plus spdif for digital audio at the same time?

That is no good.

later TM introduce more vod contents via its hypp tv, all this dimsum iflix also hard to survive.

unless unlimited 4G quota for streaming from telco. tongue.gif
*
i think the winner in the end will be hypptv.

becos they already got some decent channels in hd, various languages.

plus unifi backbone.

it's just waiting for the popular live sports monopoly to break.

dimsum won't grow big with a shrinking customer population for those shows.

iflix not even in hd, forget them!

Lag while browsing the content in Kodi😓 And also... for unknown reason, the resolution in Hypptv TV Android setting has been set to 1080p-60, but Kodi only outputting in 1280x720 as stated in Kodi's system info page
*
kodi... is a complex app. do read the kodi thread, many tips there.

kodi is not a paid professional streaming app; many addons come and go, low maintenance, the links die, need new addons, etc.

already explained in another thread - hyppbox is a basic box, can't do much. not only this box but all older lower boxes can't do 1080 on kodi, can't do 1080 with youtube. newer more powerful boxes can do 4k, hd audio with kodi.

so, get on with a new box and get the better stuff! biggrin.gif
