The gold / copper pattern bottom center is antenna... dunno for bt or wifi... if your box got bt... then there should be another...looks something like it...

Yeah this box has a bluetooth which the previous does not have.

Better give up on it, as even if all these available, I would need to solder some cable on to it. That's way beyond something I would be willing to do. As is, I think it could sustain a stable wifi if the router is kind of within 5-10m.

There is an android toast notification with text "WIFI" or something appearing on the screen whenever wifi drops and reconnects, one can check the stability of wifi by looking at the frequency of this message popping out.

Are you lan connected or wifi connected ?

If wifi, how far away is your router ?

Anyways when I dig the internet about the inside of MXQ pro, it seems to have internal antenna. Sample video shows the inside of the MXQ pro :-



However, my box is a newer version called the MXQ pro plus. Here is how it looks like the inside ( there is a date on the board ).

[attachmentid=9122274]

Obsolutely no antenna cable. Clean looking, does not look like has been damaged or anything.

that is a very stable connection u having..
still waiting for my MXQ pro+ to arrive...

I bought Minix Neo U1 around May and I am happy with it so far, but, I am not been able to detect my bluetooth headphones. I have 2 bluetooth headphones (Aiwa & Sony), both unable to detect. My Minix can detect my Sony tv & my Huawei phone bluetooth but not my headphones.

I am using this Rii Mini I8 wireless keyboard with the tvbox.

user posted image

Problem is that I cannot use the keyboard to simulate the android "Menu" button.

I have tried hitting various combination of keys, but none seem to work.

Ctrl+Esc,
e
The key with a home

Ended up I have to still use two remotes.

Couple years back, used a similar remote with a Noontec device and the right-click mouse key did such. Not working with this remote?

Looks like there is no solution from the remote keyboard.

The other possibility is remapped on the tvbox.

I think I found the solution to this. Haven't tested it yet.

The proposed keyboard layout files are no more downloadable, I guess I will have to recreate one and name it according to my vendor id and product id for it to work properly.

It appears so. I'm assuming the device is rooted.

I have created this one for my keyboard vendor 093a product id 1688, haven't tested devil.gif

Basically this is what's inside the file :-

key 126 MENU
key 68 POWER WAKE
key 28 ENTER

This HOPEFULLY will make menu key working by pressing the 'Win' button on the bottom right, and pressing F10 will power off ( suspend ) the tvbox and hitting 'Enter' will really enter ( right now hitting enter shows a 'q' on the input ).

Initially I wanted to use the 'e' button on the right side of the touchpad to be the MENU key, but it seems it transmit the same code as the 'Home' button. I think it is a manufacturer fault to make both 'e' and 'home' transmit the same keycode.

After some testing I found that the android TV box which I have, it does not take the vendor_xxxxx_product_yyyy.kl file. I have to modify the Generic.kl directly, meaning it is a global behaviour affecting all inputs.

Nevertheless after changing Generic.kl I got MENU working on the 'WIN' key. The keycode for Win key is 126 as shown earlier. Also changed POWER and key 28 accordingly.
