Manage to uninstall kodi and setup kodi from playstore with exodus and salts add on.

Also put my 64g SD card as internal and 128g USB storing my previous file. Connect to my Nas.

Now good, watching criminal minds 5 on exodus. I only have 5 yr old full HD TV and no external audio setup. The system getting more responsive now

Well...monitor that 64GB SD as internal storage... could slow down system also...

Thank you will do that. I think the slowdown is only on the initial startup as now the system seems to be responsive.

A slow down is the least of biggie's worries... What he should be concerned about is a complete card failure and hope critical system files aren't on it.. Cuz then, system failure.. Most commonly available SD Cards aren't cut out for constant fast read and write speeds as required by the firmware... Only good for occasional read and writes. A UHS Speed Class 3 (UHS-II) should handle such better..

Seriously that is something I do worry, I have 3, 64gb Kingston card which I believe genuine, one inside my s7e as external, another on tab 8 and another on km8 pro. Finger crossed that none failed. Another pny 128g on my laptop.

I have some experience with quite a number of non-genuine cards that failed or do not display their advertised storage value, so after that lesson I always take care in buying these cards.

actually, i m curious... why do u need additional 64gb sd card?

for operational purposes, 8gb is still fine alto 16 or 32 is better.

unless u are storing big video files in it?

Ah, hopefully your homework pays off.

One of the reasons is for those who would like to have more "internal" storage for more apps with bigger data. Take some games like Asphalt Airborne for instance, easily over 1GB each. Pile on 2 or more heavy kodi installs, etc and that free 8gb or so fills up pretty fast. smile.gif

Personally, I'd like to see these devices ship with at least 32GB as standard... Even 64GB.. eMMC memory is way cheaper now than it used to be. Having just 16GB now doesn't really cut it except for those with very simple plug and play needs.. Which I realize is the bulk of buyers out there and so can't blame the manufacturers for buying less memory and charging premium.

That's what I'm thinking. Even kodi consume big amount, then showbox HD will consume some more.

Anyway it's rm200 box, so not that big of disaster... As of now the same box I can get for rm170. I figure that when disaster strike I am ready to move on.

go to system>file manager>add source>browse>roo filesystem>mnt> for SD card it should be in external_sd and for USB storage should be in SDA folder.

Interesting..someone finally pulled the trigger on a Ubox. Coukd you give a bit more info on its performance? As for the lag issue, have you ruled out that it isn't a WiFi or insufficient Internet issue?

Performance wise i hardly can tell coz this is my first BOX. I think it perform the same as others and the rest of the apps like RSS watching HK drama or some others APPS watching movies. All this I think you can get it from other BOX as well. The Lagging part i dont think is WIFI problem because if I watch movies there no problem. I'm new on this so I'm not sure whats wrong, is there anyone here encounter this problem when watching LIVE football match or any other APPS can do a better job on UBOX?

I see.. Well, when it comes to live TV.. It's a bit of hit and miss. As it depends on the servers you are streaming from. An overloaded server can only serve so many clients before kicking a few off or buffering. Could also be an app issue too. Unfortunately, I can't be of further assistance with such. Beyond that there are better sources out there and the work great on better boxes too... Apparently, we are officially being monitored.. tongue.gif
Thanks for the mini review. Should help others.

Yep thats what i though so, so many user streaming on the same channel will cause lagging. Other than that I'm happy with it.

I'm thinking of getting this...
user posted image

Why?
1. Remix OS - something different
2. No Root - maybe can play aotg
3. 2/32GB - plenty storage!
4. On sale $50

S905, Android 5.1, b/g/n/ac, bt...

Cons: not popular - most likely no more firmware updates (no problem if no big bugs), only 2 USB ports, 5GHz weak (me only 2.5GHz so still OK)...

Anyone got this?
