Hello, anyone know any shops selling android box in ipoh?

Are 905x boxes still buggy? Is it better to get 905 box?
I was thinking of getting this one.

I leave a mini review here for searchers, got a box, label is t95n mini m8s, android 6. Box is very very small, quite smooth, I bought mainly to watch videos through browser. I installed firefox + ublock extension, 1080p videos are choppy, 720p no issue. Ublock works, no annoying pop ups but the extension's settings not showing up. Later I try chrome see fullhd video play smoothly or not but chrome no adblocker. Oddly enough seller say don't use browser, he say weird things happen to customer's unit... he didn't elaborate what actually happen though. Kodi seems to work though i haven't use it long. I haven't log in google play yet.

Thanks for feedback.

Those big brand browsers try to do everything themselves biggrin.gif ...ie play videos... My experience is try to find tiny browsers that hands off video playing back to the native player...they usually play better...

Can recommend one? I tried chrome, can play smoothly but the quality feel a bit different than native player.

Also there's this weird bug on this machine, if you disable google play app auto update, next time you open google play it will give you the terms and conditions screen like you're signing in first time and the settings all reset lol.

Been awhile since I've used it.. But try UC Browser.. It's good for videos.

Weird, usually those come up when the Play store updates itself.. Perhaps yours gets special updates..  brows.gif

Wow I did some digging, there were actually two apps on the machine, one was called "google play store", the other "play store". When I disable "play store" and i try to launch google play store, it says incompatible version for device, uninstall updates blah blah(cause play store auto updates to latest version.) So I think maybe "play store" stops google play store from updating itself thereby causing the problem I was seeing. Wah is it safe to use this play store ah, luckily i created different account for the box.

Google playstore is for google androidtv, found in nividia shield, mibox intl and google smart tvs.

Playstore is for all generic androids.

Similar but not the same.

Good tip I did more digging, play store auto updates to the google tv version.

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/

If you look there, my version is the [8] one. But even though i downloaded the [0] one to manually install after it installs successfully, app info is the [8] version. So I think the software replaces it with factory version(which is [0]) after everytime google play self updates.

I fixed the problem.

1. Disable the app "play store", it's 1mb in size. (This app replaces the playstore with factory version)
2. Uninstall updates for "google play store" app.
3. Download correct play store apk.
4. Turn off internet, disable google's verify apps(maybe optional).
5.Install playstore apk. (First time I try with internet on it ask to verify app halfway through install, maybe if click no when it ask might work).
6. Playstore become normal now.

I dunno why google thinks my box is google tv. It came with the google tv version of youtube, maybe manufacturer/seller made some changes. I scan with malwarebytes, came back clean. Should be ok.

You know how certain videos, the actor's voice will be so soft, have to turn up the sound then boom explosion/music make you deaf, anyway to fix this? Software fix maybe?
