TM will not give up monopoly for houses.

then again, if u hv unifi, 30mbps is fine for most homes.

i am using that, paying a little less than what i was paying for 10mbps before that.

hope not to pay too much more when the change to 50 or 100mbps comes.

i only use netflix n youtube app on my android tv

enjoy!

these 2 are approved apps, get them in uhd4k.

and for netflix, dd5.1.

can't get the same quality with android boxes.


i stick in kodi and couple other live tv apps for convenience, no need to use another device.

been very good!

We Unifi users are still heavily shortchanged... Imagine, for the same amount (or just a little extra) you are currently paying for 30Mbps, you could be getting 300Mbps (x10!!)... For me, it'll be x30, cuz still on 10Mbps... So yeah, TIME covered areas rule.

Cant have it all. Highrise, u pay more for water, asessment rates.

The impt thing is the stability n consistency. I am quite happy to pay <rm200 a month for all entertainment, phone calls, emails, messaging, pc work for a dozen devices. More concerned with tnb bill!

This^^... No matter the promise of "achievable" speeds. I used to be quite happy to pay the current amount, until TIME dropped the news... Naturally, I think I blew a fuse upstairs... Oh well, our dear PM & TM has promised (yeah, promises... ehh) that speeds will be doubled and prices slashed.. To which I reply, I'll believe it when I see it. They better not impose a quota.


P.S. Apologies for derailing the thread... Back to TV talk...

Hi i bought the 630x sharp android tv. The biggest problem i facing is frequent dropped wifi connection? I had assign static ip and address reservation for it yet still facing this issue. Any idea how to resolve, modem is on 1st floor while tv is on grounf floor less than 3 meters away. Thank you

.. what made u say "frequent drop in wifi connection"? what app? from wifi analyzer?
.. how is wifi performance with other devices like pc, tablet, phone in the same position as the tv?
.. the space between router and tv - is it just a slab of rc concrete or other metallic structures?
.. what broadband, speed u using?
.. what router in use?

The wifi connection of the tv will just disconnect after few minutes, and i have to manually reconnect again.
Other devices no problem (pc, phones, tablets, cctv etc, apple tv and other android tv box.
Basic double story house, modem put near stair with the sharp android tv, ard 10 feet in front of stair.
Unifi 10, tp link modem updated, no problem with all other devices. Thanks.
I googled online saw quite a number of smart tv have this problem, incl. some android tv. Not sure if i am the only user of sharp 630x with this problem.

from yr description, i can only suggest:

.. orientate the router antenna to different positions - to get a spherical or balloon coverage rather than a disc.
.. if changing router, go for a high power amplification one, e.g. from asus.
.. test the tv wifi with all devices shut down; 10mbps can be stretched too thin if all devices are on.
.. consider upgrading to 30mbps or higher.
.. run a LAN cable to see if ethernet works well or not on the tv.
.. 10mbps will not get youtube or netflix in 4k on the tv but should get 1080p if other devices are not on.


my tv is just a few feet horizontally from the asus router, always very strong, v good.

30mbps, i get sufficient wifi coverage over 50ft or 15m for all devices.

Hi, recently I bought the Sharp 630x TV. I have a problem with the HDMI ARC port when connecting to my soundbar (with ARC function as well). At first it work, the sound can pass to the soundbar, and I can control soundbar volume from TV remote, and also turn off/on both devices using only TV remote.
But after that it start to have problem with the ARC function.

I've tried a few setting in the TV to fix it, but still unable.
1) Devices-->Audio Out-->HDMI/ARC (speaker select,audio setup)
2) Home-->Setting-->Preferences-->Inputs-->(CEC) Device Control Settings-->HDMI control/Device auto power off/TV auto power on

I have tried change HDMI cable, but problem still exist.

Anyone here have similar problem?
Any idea any other setting I can check/change in The TV to fix this? (imagine if soundbar in good condition)

Thanks

soundbars get tricky.

may help if u read someone's case starting post #726:

Hi, has anyone root their 630X sharp tv? If yes, can share which root software to use? Any tried Kingoroot app before ?
- After rooting, if need to unroot, how to unroot?
- how to hav soft rest/reboot and hard reset for this android tv?
Thank you.

for the android, u can either unplug the power, start again... or... go to settings, info and select "restart".

tv settings, can reset to default with remote's tv setup options.


root... i am not even sure if u can as i know there is a security protection feature built in.

note rooting will void yr warranty. so if anything goes wrong, say u lose netflix/youtube 4k... u r on yr own.


lastly, if u have not, do spend time reading the e-manual either from website or at the tv itself. good useful info for starters.

AVFAN, could you please direct us where to download the e-manual from?

e-manual - may take a few minutes.

i-manual copy also found at the launcher of tv.

Thanks for your post here, I think mine is different from what the issue described in earlier post.

I manage to find out root cause of the problem after conducted few testing.

1) When ONLY HDMI1 (ARC) is connected to another device (soundbar) which is ARC compatible, it works for sound, control, power on/off.
However, as long as other HDMI port (2, 3 or 4) is connected to other devices (doesn't matter the device is ON or standby mode), the ARC will stop function.
Meaning to say, the HDMI1 (ARC) would work if there is no other HDMI devices plugged into the TV.
ARC works again if I plug out connection for other HDMI port (2, 3 or 4)

2) Since my soundbar has total 3 HDMI ports (1 x HDMI-ARC out, 2 x HDMI in), I tested by connecting the devices to the "HDMI in".
However, similar problem happens.
Meaning to say, the HDMI (ARC) would work if there is no other HDMI devices plugged into the soundbar.

I've also tried google around and found below, posting the same problem as mine. (Post #5)

Not sure if this is how ARC work, but it's kind of stupid if this is really true (If you want ARC, then have to sacrifice all other HDMI ports).
Or maybe only Sharp TV has this problem? Or setting/configuration issue?

End up, I decided to let go the HDMI-ARC function and connect via optical output from TV to soundbar.

Hope all sifu here can help.


Thanks.

possible other tv's do a better job for soundbars. that, u only know when u try it.

likely just limitations of some of the "extra" functions for certain output components.

tv makers should be good at making tv's - as a slave to the input, just video display - primarily.

rightly, they should not and do not focus on audio, connectivity, playback, etc. as that will mean encroaching into other segments of the overall biz which i doubt they are prepared for. and will cost more.

whatever android, media playback, etc., i take them as a bonus, not a must.

the androidtv is good, i use it a lot.

can't comment much on soundbars as i use only AVRs which work fine with netflix uhd4k dd5.1.

usb playback, i use my own media/android box which can do a lot more than the tv player.

Nope, that is definitely not how HDMI-ARC works. Probably a hardware incompatibility or an issue with one or both hardware. Samsung Tv + Samsung HT connected via HDMI-ARC. Currently have 3 devices connected to the HDMI-IN ports on the TV and one HDMI-ARC connection to the HT. All sounds are automatically routed from the TV to the HT and out the speakers... Regardless of input source.

P.S. IMO, soundbars.... Never liked em..
