Looks good. Wonder whether it will be available in Malaysia for sale...

maybe in 2-3 months?

conscientious local sellers will probably have to get sirim stickers now.

For anyone using Q10. When u trying to access your internal hdd in q10 via windows 10, they suddenly asked for password. I enabled samba in q10 but never set a password before. But suddenly windows 10 asking for one. After i set a password, i can access the hdd again. Even after i disable the password on q10, its still asked for password. I enter the same password and i can access it.

Any ideas? Probably because of recent windows 10 update?

I don't understand their product & market strategy of coming up with this low outdated spec

yep, this is more of a downgrade from Q10pro, being launched now, albeit w/o noise.

however, there is some news of another model, capable of 8K - coming October.

we'll see...

astrogo users:

current astro go version is v2.192.5/AC/9.2.5/2313a43 dated 8 Aug 2019.

u can get update direct from box playstore.

or get here:
https://apkpure.com/astro-go-watch-tv-shows...com.astro.astro

this one has a bug fixed - video and audio are now sync-ed correctly for live HD channels.

and i seem to see an improved video... improved colors and clarity... perhaps bit rate been raised...

borrow casing ka

everybody borrow from everybody else.

more likely same casing supplier... minimal diff to save cost...

kekekeke.. the copy right or patent right doesnt exists in the land of mao

Hi, fellow specialists.

My Q10 II suddenly cannot function. It starts to boot, showing white "HIMEDIA" wording then go blank.

Could it be the firmware problem, or something else?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

this model must be 7-8 yrs old...?

if not mistaken, it is android 4.2, dual core, the big brother of Q5II.

if it doesn't boot properly, no choice but to reset with the pin hole button method - u will lose all apps, need reinstall.


frankly, i suggest u retire this box as it is quite obsolete... many new apps don't work, gets v sluggish, no bluray menu, etc.

a natural replacement would be the Q10pro or the coming Q100.

either model, u can reuse the sata HDD.

You are correct. It is android 4.2 and dual core version. I bought it in Jan 2015.

Generally, I only use it to watch US TV series through BT download via USB thumb drive streaming. 2 hours a day max, it was working fine until recently.

I tried to re-set, but Droid Robot showed " system error ". I think maybe my version of firmware update is not the correct version.

Just check with you, where can I possibly find the right firmware for this model? Want to give it a last try before I surrender.


Thank you again.

i have seen this "system error"... does pop up sometimes. try it again, try several times.
do it right - unplug power, push pin into pinhole, hold, on power+remote... until u see message "updating...".

Q10II, if similar to Q5II, wud have non-emmc and emmc models... and need google patch too to work.
i do not know where u can find the right files for yr model, but u can check with the seller in this thread:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2807510/+1080#bottom

if u primarily use it for local playback, this box can still work nicely for lower/mid files.
only when u play the 4k, 10bit, full bluray files will it not work properly.

Hi, i have a Himedia H8 Plus running on android 5. Bought this 2 years back and i'm thinking how can i upgrade to android 7? i use this box mainly to stream movie/drama from the apps.

i doubt upgrade to android7 exist for this model.

ok then, thanks for the reply. I just continue to use it till it die... hahahah

Can Himedia Q5+ process the Dolby TrueHD codec?

Downloaded HEVC clips come with TrueHD 7.1

Q5+?

U mean q5pro or q5ii or q5?

ops, sorry.

I referred to China version, similar to Q5pro.

Same Hi-Silicon CPU/GPU, Hi3798CV200/Mali-T720.
2GRAM, but has 16G emmc5.0 ROM.

Does Q5 Pro really support Google Playstore?

that is a china domestic model.

the chipset is the same as q5pro/q10pro but i do not know if the firmware and native player is same or similar or diff altogether.

i think i read somewhere that the china model does NOT have hd audio pass through capability, but not entirely sure.

so, u gotta try n see.

for int'l models, they can do all the audios - dd, dd+, ddtruehd, ddatmos, dts, dtshdma, dtsx.

as for google, china domestic market sets will not have them becos google/youtube/chrome is prohibited there.

only int'l models have them, they work fine.
