UPDATE

This box died last week bangwall.gif . Switch ON but nuttin happens. Swap the power adapter, still the same. Can't be hdmi cable or adapter. No pin hole to do hard reset.

Its just blank. Have just submitted to GearBest to see if i could claim warranty for this box. I sold it to a friend before i got the Mecool. Anyway, hope can claim another box. What a pity! vmad.gif

Was a good trouble free, no lag, fast box until it died just like that. cry.gif

UPDATE

So apparently GB only willing to compensate USD25 for the said box. Btw decided to open up the box to look at the internals

I would be dissappointed if it doesn't support at least FHD Netflix but would be great if it can do 4k

Btw you have mecool box right? have you tried this yet...NEXUS ROM for Android TV OS
*
Yeah, I bought one but for a pal.. Only had it a few days to test it out and setup for him. Been running smoothly for him I guess. Seeing as I haven't had any unusual issues raised besides how to update dying ehem apps.. Normal. But then, his is a more simple usage. So I left it stock and thinking back, that ROM would be buggy as per jhlou's post below..

QUOTE(jhlou @ Oct 27 2018, 09:36 AM)
There are at least 2 versions of same Mecool box but running on different hardware.  Old version is LB variant that can run this rom. 
New version LQ is what I bought recently and will not work with this rom. If you install Bluetooth and Wifi will break.
Developer had no intention of developing for LQ variant ATM

Fixed and correct.

Looking real good... Hopefully it plays Netflix 4k

I strongly doubt it. If not even any official mentions of Widevine levels and Netflix support. Suggests that they are being more careful with their advertising compared to previous release.. Where they advertised heavy about it being an official Netflix device. Turned out to be some hackery? instead..

Can't argue with that. But if they take too long being too reliable versus giving the people what they want.. Even hard-core fans like myself, will be forced to switch brands when the time comes.. biggrin.gif

No SPDIF out?

Limiting.. Always go HDMI if possible.

Anyone here using xiaomi mi tv box 3? How's your setup like especially using USB extensions for Ethernet and Storage e.g. like the "Ugreen" device.

Thanks for your input folks.

I have the A2 Lite Air mouse but battery drained quite badly from my end, so I ended up not using it now.

There are plenty other confirmed unrooted devices WITH dedicated ethernet and USB ports. I suggest you look at those instead.

Worth and recommended to use with Minix devices. Though works for others too. Except Minix device dedicated buttons won't work as intended. Been using the Neo A2 Lite airmouse with rechargeable Eneloop batteries. Almost daily usage.. Lasts months easy. I don't expect the upgraded Neo A3 Airmouse to perform any less.. Barring it a lemon unit of course. smile.gif

I recently managed to grab 2xAAA Eneloop batteries from Lazada flash sales. Maybe I should try using back the A2 Lite but I'm already used to the wireless keyboard. laugh.gif
