Hi Nicety, just received the goods yesterday. After browse through movies from my hard-disc, I found myself in doubt when comparing to my old Himedia A600 series.
Please refer to my doubts as per below:

1)How come I can't find a way to browse movie folder by previewing the picture attached inside the same folder as what I always did in the old model? or did I miss something?

2)When I pressed on the menu button while playing movie, why there is no way for me to adjust the video setting for example like those brightness, contrast and saturation as what I always did in the old model? or did I miss something?

Kindly advise.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your acknowledge receipt.

Please find below my answer to your questions:

1). The build in player could not preview picture of the movies. This is nice to have features, most important is the video and audio code.

2). When you press menu button, to can see ExpressX where you can adjust video setting as below photo :

Appreciated your prompt reply, BTW do you have any idea which model from Himedia can perform the so call preview movie picture task? How about the HD600A Quad Core version? Cause my first generation of this model got no problem of doing it.

Thanks for your sharing.

Your may refer to HD600A Quad Core product catalog as below, the player will be the same as Q5 quad core or Q16 quad core.

The operating system and the CPU of HD600A quad core is totally different form the HD600A. Please do not expect the same player for HD600A and HD600A quad core, only the casing is the same.

The beauty of Android player is capable to install 3rd party player from Googleplay and do not bonded to the hardware manufacturer. Just search 3rd party player from the GooglePlay if any player meeting your requirement. But I am very confident you will like Himedia native player at the end. As mentioned earlier, the most important of the player is not the cosmetic but the audio and video codec capability.

Thank you bro. Hope you already received the getting states guide which could help you shorten the learning curve. Always feel free to pm or email me if you have any problem.

Hi, I just transferred RM420.00 to your Maybank.

I forgotten to buy the bundle Mele F10 air mouse.

Can i add on now?

Hi everyone.
Does anyone know how to set Proxy for Ethernet connection on Tv box it self instead of setting the whole modem.
The guide only shows Wifi but not Ethernet.
Its quite troublesome if set whole modem.(some website blocked, china restrictions)

Thank you bro, payment received F10 AirMouse.

Bro, Ethernet port could not set proxy.

To set proxy for Ethernet, you need 3rd party app such as proxydroid. But using 3rd party apps you need to root the device.

My suggestion to customer is :

1). Use wifi with proxy setting
2). Use Ethernet without proxy

With the above setting, you have the flexibility to switch between proxy and none proxy without changing the setting.

Ok thanks alot..

Hi Everybody,

I bought the Himedia Q16 + Mele F10 from Nicety

1) Delivery was fast

2) Setting up was easy

I am newbie to Android TV Box and know that the learning curve is steep, however, Nicety included starting guide which helped greatly.

Highly recommended seller!!!

Thank you bro for the compliment. Our support does not end here, we will continue supply new firmware in our skydrive and share more info about the box. Remember to track this thread.

I have q5ii nand and I am not very satisfied because the kernel is 720p,xbmc is not working well and there is not 24p playback. The q16 quad has improved in those areas ?
1080/24p is supported in resolutions and most important the kernel is 1080p or just 720p ?
I live in Greece do you sent abroad if I pay you with PayPal and what will be the price including postage in us dollars ?
Thank you

Yes, Q16 Quad core kernel is 1080p, please find attached XBMC detected, you may compare with your Q5II.

I've just bought a HiMedia Q16 Quad Core from nicety after previously getting a HiMedia Q5II from him due to the excellent service he provided.

The delivery was very quick and he set everything up nicely with useful apps.

He's definitely a seller that I would wholeheartedly recommend if anyone is looking for an Android TV box. Not to mention, the product itself is an improvement over the decent Q5II.

Thank you for the compliment :-)

Hello nicety. I noticed that the firmware version of my box is 1.0.2 while the latest version on your OneDrive is 1.0.4. How do I upgrade the firmware? There's an option to perform a local upgrade in the Settings menu. Can I download the file from your OneDrive and perform the upgrade using that option? Thanks.
