Hi,

Just wan to check if T95Z, Beelink GT1 (android 7) able to run miracast/airplay for iOS 9.0 and above ?

I notice from some seller like gearbest mention Beelink GT1 (android 7) cannot run miracast for iOS 9.0 and above.

How about other unit with andriod 7 or 6?

How about warranty wise? Able to get warranty from Malaysia?

If it does not work we have to shipped back to China ?

I know the shipment to Malaysia fairly cheap. However going from Malaysia to China is very expensive.


Anyone selling locally with warranty?


How about other unit like Beelink GT1 ultimate or TZ95 which seem popular?

If the device is RM350, paying RM50 for sending back to repair after 7 days is like paying ~15% of device price.
There is only a free shipping reimbursement for first 7 days if it does not work. After that, no reimbursement fee.

After 7 days to until 45 days, you will have to pay eg RM50 to send back for refund or item exchange.
So mostly I guess you all take the chances?
How often if a unit breaks down?

It is almost the same if the price of the unit is selling RM100 more (eg. RM450) locally here with 3 months warranty on 1-1 exchange (some seller provide).
You will fork out RM100 for the warranty of another 45 days.

Is this working on root or unroot unit ?

Hi,

I am confuse now. I just need some help on your recommendation.

I only have simple requirement for the box:

1) able to install and run AOTG (understand mostly work on non-rooted box)
2) support airplay for iOS 9.0 and above, miracast
3) support OTA - over the air update
4) support 802.11ac
5) prefer decent processor for performance eg. S912 or
6) more RAM better, 3GB is great
7) storage not so much, 16GB more than enough
(only use it for streaming live tv, movies, youtube only).

For item 1), so far from my research from forum, Mi Box International - 4K (not sure which version) able to run AOTG. It is non-root.
However it seem not supporting item 2) "support airplay for iOS 9.0 and above, miracast". It does support Chromecast if not mistaken.

Yes you are right, any root box is not able to run AOTG as many mentioned.

Minix Neo U9 is far too high to reach > RM650++

Hi,

Your box is still running android 5.1?

Is it rooted?

Which version of firmware it's running?

Thank you.

Do you still have the link to the firmware?

Which version is that as there are many version?

For rooting, which software/app, version did you use?

Appreciate if you could share your expertise here.

Which H96 Pro Plus brand that you are using?
Some come with AlfaWise and other name.

Where did you brought one?
Gearbest, Lazada, ??

Thank you for sharing. Greatly appreciated.

If I am not mistaken, the unit sold by Gearbest is pre-rooted.
What does this mean?
Could we just install Magisk v 14.0 ?

Some seller who are selling locally already root the unit.
Do we have to restore to original android 6 first before install Magisk ?

I am very new to the tv boxes, the term around and how to perform those installation.

Yes brother, that's the reason I was asking which model and brand of the H96 Pro Plus unit.

There are many sub brand out there with H96 Pro Plus.

Also need to know where the unit was brought from?


Thank you.

Which one is a better deal

Neo U1
Beelink GT1 Ultimate
H96 Plus Pro
T95Z
Xiaomi International Version
MeeCool MS8 Pro
MeeCool BB2 Pro
Tanix TX8 Max
Tanix TX92

Understand H96 Pro Plus have a lot of heating issue and ROM issues from freaktab,

Do you encounter those ?

Other than heating issue, do you see any other issues for generaal issue of TV stream, Movie stream, Youtube?

I mean I know that you have install the custom rom.

Thanks.

After narrow my idea, I just need decent player

1) Stable ROM
2) Use it for normal tv streaming, online movie, youtube (not playing games)
3) Budget RM250 - RM300.

Xiaomi International Version
MeeCool MS8 Pro Plus
Tanix TX8 Max
Any other recommendation.

Minix Neo U1, seems to out of reach > RM400.


Thanks.

Notice current price at gb RM370.

trying to decide whether to get mi box international or box like X92.

hmm..

mi box international have to get a extra dongle to extend the usb port..
i prefer to connect using rj44.. extra money need to spend here..

My stupid time internet is still using the old linksys wifi router which do not support 802.11ac. that's the downside of it.

wish mi box could have come with USB 3.0 port instead. it's still using the old 2.0 port. plus no LAN port. that's the downside of it.

My wifi router is in the same area of my tv cabinet. LAN cable will be more consistent and stable.

cracking my head...

Yes, as of current I will invest a good usb to rj45 10/100MB for connecting my router to mi box which I already order on black friday sales.

I dont plan to use it for huge GB files anyway. Mostly watching live tv, movie, youtube.

The current router is aging, will plan change it as well.

I get the UGREEN usb to rj45 10/100 MB with 3 port USB 2.0 hub for RM36.

This one also work with Mi Box. Saw one guy at youtube using it on his mi box successfully.
