how come Lazada no longer can found Mi Box that sell by Mi Malaysia Official Store ?

i think the local authorized Xiaomi distributor has no stock of Mi Box. I asked for Mi Box at their Suria KLCC outlet and they also said they had no stock at the moment.

I encountered this at first too.

The real reason is this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments...n_on_androidtv/

My work around was I did an ADB install of the Set Orientation app APK. Somehow this bypass the need for Android app permissions.
ADB install is now my favourite method to sideload apps on Android TV.

There is section in this article about using ADB install:
https://www.howtogeek.com/280763/how-to-sid...-on-android-tv/

I didn't install Android SDK to get ADB, but used this one from XDA instead:

hope all this helps. smile.gif

my Mi Box remote finished a set of batteries in under 2 months. Does it drain that fast?
How long does batteries last for other Mi Box users ?

Did you turn off your mibox or not? You could just buy rechargeable. The moment I read it's Bluetooth remote, I already bought rechargeable.
*
I turn off by the remote, but box is left with power supply on. and it does some times wake again on it's own.
think I should consider power supply off now. probably not powering off means still has drain from the bluetooth connection?
Yes i also just got rechargeable batteries for this.

darn. My Mi Box was also updated to Android Oreo 8 last night, either by auto or accident. I actually didn't want to update it seeing the problems faced.

Although so far what I noticed only is the mouse right-button as back function no longer works.

Anybody having problem with their mibox 3? Mine keeps disconnecting from wifi after updated wit oreo sad.gif

Android 8 Oreo for Mi Box had big issues during its initial OTA rollout. I face this issue also.
I believe we should all still be on the 2174 version.
Hoping the 2179 rolls out soon as it is said to fix/reduce the WiFi disconnection issue.

i started using a USB Ethernet Hub ( http://www.ugreen.com.cn/product-578-en.html ) but disconnection are also happening on the Ethernet connection! shakehead.gif
less frequent compared to when it was on wifi, but I was expecting no more disconnecting ....

If your WIFI AP is placed far away from your MiBox (different floor or few walls away), your MiBox's connection will be very unstable especially with the latest Oreo firmware.

To prove my point, try to place the Wifi AP next to your MiBox or connect your MiBox to your Mobile Hotspot and see whether you still experiencing the laggy or buffering issues.

My interim solution while awaiting Xioami's fix, is to setup a Wifi Repeater next to my MiBox.

My Mi Box is just 1 foot away from my router and I still get Wifi disconnection.
I read in other places that removing Wifi security entirely may work, but then this just seems unreasonable action just to make it work. Ethernet connection I am also getting disconnections.
