Air mouse power button can learn from original remote power button

That's when the confusion starts.

Because air mouse buttons are able to work in dual mode, one is in the wifi mode, one is in the IR mode. When we reprogram a button, it is operating in IR mode ( ie non-wifi mode ). But normally we operate in wifi mode to use the air mouse functions. ......

They should make a few buttons strictly working in IR mode.

I think it's RF mode, not wifi

WIFI and RF is almost synonymous. In your understanding, what is the difference ? biggrin.gif

Normally we use word WIFI to mean higher frequency RF.

In the case of the airmouse dongle, it actually works in 2.4Ghz, the exactly same frequency use for typical WIFI.

would it be recommended to buy a new TV Box?  TX6?
*
TX6 could be a good buy, at least if you need to have an reasonable 5 GHz wifi. All other cheap boxes have internal antenna, will likely to have hopelessly weak wifi.

First timer user of this android box. Got the TX3 mini set from the seller whom many in this forum have bought from. Received my set within 1 week of order confirmation.

I have read through all the comments in this thread before the purchase in particular comments from AVFAN, SCThong, and this has helped me very much in installing Astro Go. Matter of fact, with the No Root option in this set and the APKPure file, the installation process was straight forward.

At present, the set is connected by wireless and the router is practically next to it. So apparently no impact from hindrance by walls and distance issue but some lagging is noted. Would connecting by Ethernet help to improve?

Do a speed test of your current setup then we would know.

Yes, Puchongite.

Just done a number of speed tests on the set. Readings in the range of 18 to 23 Mbps. At the same time, i have also done a speed test on my mobile phone and the reading is around 45 Mbps. Both running at 2.4GHz
*
2.4 GHz is not very satisfactory for video streaming because it usually has interference from neighbours.

If possible use 5GHz or cable. But boxes without external antenna, the 5GHz is usually much more difficult to get good reception. So use cable.

Dont waste money and time if you are expecting to watch netflix HD@4K on cheap chinese android box.. please remember only buy the devices listed below if you want to watch netflix in HD@4K:
1. Nvidia Shield
2. Amazon Fire TV (Cube/Stick)
3. Apple TV
4. Mibox S

Cheapest option for Netflix HD? Go for Amazon Firestick (non 4K). The price is cheap, below 200 average. If you are willing to use forwarder, buy during Amazon Sales (Black Friday, Cyber Monday).

In fact, I would really recommend Amazon Firestick. even though you won't get Google Playstore, heck, it is android based. You can still sideload a lot of them apks.

Beelink? Crap. Hacked netflix ESN and must reapply Netflix ESN box if netflix blocked their ESN again and again.

For TX3 (Using the S905X3, not the mini/max which is using S905W CPU), only go for 4GB.. 2GB is only single band wifi.. don't be stingy.. go ahead and spend your hard earn money..
*
Firestick ESN numbers have been used by people already to get Netflix HD/4k on non-firestick TVBoxes.

Firestick netflix apk has been copied out of firestick, and then installed on normal non-firestick TVBoxes. That's how a netflix certified ESN number can be created.

I don't know how long netflix will take figure out how to differentiate real Firestick ESN number vs the fake ESN numbers.

How would one verify the actual stream quality achieved via AstroGo ? I have a feeling people are getting 720p thereabout only.

I bought Tx5 pro, but i cant run Netflix app. This device is not supported by the app error popped out. Installed the app thru Aptoide TV. Any work around for this problem?

Don't install the netflix with a white background and a full length red color 'netflix'.

Install the netflix with a black background and a single RED alphebet 'N'.

Hi Sifus,

Recently I bought a tx3 mini from shopee but I cant watch any movies.
The internet speed is so slow.
Any ideas to solve this problem?
*
I guess you are connected using WiFi and your router is too far away.

Do a speed test with either 5GHz and 2.4 GHz. Double confirm that a mobile phone do not have this problem.

If confirmed internet too slow and can't relocate the router, then spend another rm100 thereabout, buy another router and use it as a WiFi repeater.

Rm100 can get a pretty powerful router/WiFi repeater.

Crashed once while on AOTG. No issue other than that..also after the crashed i'd remember performing updates on everything in Playstore.
Since then everything going smoothly till now. Youtube experience better than TX3 Mini stock firmware. User interface (UI) for this ROM also far better.

The only problem I'm having till now is I cannot put the sideload's apps icon to the main screen, instead need to go to app drawer to launch it.
Anyone know how to solve this..kindly share..
*
It is a matter of how the apps make declaration in the apk's manifest.xml.

In other words, the problem is with the apks, they had not declared themselves launchable by an ATV launcher.

This can be solved using a modded APK ( which edit the manifest.xml ), or there are online website which can create proxy APKs to launch your desired apps.

For AstroGo specifically, please request the modder to add that into the manifest.

Hi respected sifus. After reading several pages of this thread, I just need a confirmation. My requirements are, AOTG, Netflix HD, Youtube, KODI and one of the Terrarium TV clone apk. Not really care about the audio quality just picture quality. My house got maxis broadband 30mbps. Cannot go 100mbps due to old apartment infrastructure. Is TX3 S905x3 4gb+64gb the right box to go? Thanks in advance.
*
Somebody tested Tx3 s905x3 2Gb version, using dual boot CoreELEC Netflix addon, can play Netflix 1080p but quality is bad. Got dropped frames.

Also people tested Beelink Mini2 S905x3 dual boot CoreELEC Netflix addon, it is running Netflix at 1080p smoothly.

Other than Netflix, the rest should be non issue.

Those ordered S905x3 boxes can do a benchmark and compare similar S905x3 boxes to see which performs better (using this geekbench score ) :-

1. One box tx3 with 2G/16 got a score of 769 single core and 2194 multi core.

2. One box with Beelink 4G/64GB got a score of 866 single core and 2343 multicore.

Geekbench 4 :-

Turns out getting new box didn't solve the crashing problem. Still getting crash on astro go on tx3. Sigh
*
You would need to tell the group more how the crash can be repeated. Seems it could be your usage pattern triggered a crash.

Info like: crash only in AstroGo ? Other apps crash or not ? What types of show normally ? After how many hours of watching ? WiFi or ethernet ? Do you get good performance on the network ? .....

Depending on TV resolution and network performance. Typically one only can get about 720p on AstroGo.
