Thank you for acknowledge receipt.

There was an app called "One key access" or something.

Meaning you can set when you press "1" on your remote, a designated app will open.

I cannot find it in Q8.

Oic, this only avaible in Mango Launcher. Because H8 is selling in Europe and US, the oversea buyer do not like the Mango launcher because of the Chinese characters therefore Himedia change to English launcher which do not have One Key Access.

Let me ask himedia if they can give me One Key Acces app, will come back to you.

2 things:
1. Why the storage seems small? I just got the device, but cannot install my second app already. This doesn't happened to my Q16.
2. The one key access is available in the APP from system view, but cannot find it inside the application.

1). Q16 storage partition is 4GB for apps and 9GB for the rest. H8 is 2GB for apps and 11GB for the rest. Therefore you can stream Popcorn time online up to 9GB in Q16 and H8 could stream upto 11GB movie in Popcorn time. Storage detail could find from Settings - More - Storage

2).H8 is mainly selling to US and Europe, Chinese apps are hidden from H8 application. One Key Access is one of the Chinese app not ready to release for US and Europe market. Even u see the app in System view, it is unable to launch.

Received the player today. Is the remote meant to be laggy? I had to click and wait like 5 seconds before I could click again. Hi media won't respond if I click twice quickly.

where ur location? have demo set? can i test the player in ur shop??

Solved the problem with a usb mouse and keyboard. But I'm having issues with wifi. For some reason speed test shows wifi speed on hi media being ~500kbps. On my 10mbps maxis network. My other devices show much faster speeds. Any recommendations?

Please share with me how do you test speed in Himedia and on other device.

I restarted the modem/router and it's working fine now. Happy with the product now, still learning how to navigate. Thanks nicety.

Would certainly recommend you to others.

Just to share, whether Maxis or TM or TIME, the committed speed by your ISP is best effort within Malaysia network only, it does not guaranteed you have the same full speed in oversea. Especially most of the streaming content servers are oversea. Snapshot the below two speed test for reference, both test at the same router same PC same speed test tool and same timing :

The below speed test from my router to Kuala Perlis :


The below speed test from my router to Shanghai :


There is significant speed different between local Malaysia and Oversea, the reason is the international trunk between the countries. Most of the local ISP has better peering with US and Japan, but peering with other countries are limitted, some passthru US or Japan which cause the speed deteriorated. If not mistaken, TM has Internet peering with Hong Kong, the traffic to China content servers are psssthru HK.

In summary, even we have 30MB with your ISP, it does not mean you have 30MB across worldwide, it depend on the international bandwidth available when stream movies from oversea content servers.

Which is the best performing android player eg. no lag or bugs?

Is it X8H plus (quad core) or this HIMEDIA H8 (Octa Core) or other model?

To be honest, most of the android could perform its jobs well in term of online streaming. Himedia or Minix are not making magic to the box, but the stability of the box and wiling to continue improve the product as per customers feedback is the differentiation. Below buyer reference guide for your reference :

I will not say minix and Himedia box do not have lagging, but we guide our customers to use the apps that could stream smoothly.

In term of Media codec and audio passthru, Minix is still behind Himedia because Himedia original strength is producing media player, it support wide range video and audio codec.

Can suggest any gamepad or air mouse/ remote that compatible with this box?

Thank you for inquiry. Mele F10 deluxe is compatible.

However, gamepad I have no suggestion.

Noted, but how does it connect since the box lack of bluetooth connection? Is it by plugin the usb dongle that come with the remote?

Yes, the air mouse are RF wireless, just plug in the dongle.

Noted, Thanx Nicety for your help.
