Hi all, first of all a big thank you to all sifus here as I have learned so much about android tv box and recently purchased one myself. Just received 2 days ago and able to use it with all the tips given here. 😊 However, I wish to seek some advise, is it advisable to unplug the power of tv box when not in use? Or would it be better to leave it on standby mode until next use (as we does with android phones)? Thanks!

More than half free.. Good.
Welcome..

That depends on the purchased unit. Some devices ship with good cooling capabilities and will remain cool to touch even after a day of constant use. Making them relatively safe to leave plugged in and on standby. Mine (along with other AV/Internet equipment) is plugged into a surge protector, just in case... Always has power to it and because I can do a cold boot from a distance with the remote, we alternate between standby and full shutdowns, depending on how long the house will be unoccupied.

Usual disclaimer... Not going to be held responsible for a house burnt down..  tongue.gif

Thanks for your replies nikrizal & voncrane! mine is the T95X box 2gb ram+16gb rom. I have it plugged into a surge protector too.. ok will try your suggestion, leaving it on standby and do a full shutdown occasionally.
