Reference board is one thing, the final product is another matter.
There is the issue of component quality (apart from the Amlogic chip), manufacturing quality etc...

Reviews online say the Tanix products are reliable and well made.
But I'll bet most here (if not all) are getting generic TX3s
(Hands up those who got Tanix branded boxes)

PS. I got my eye on the new S905X3 Tanix/TX3 box

How do you differentiate a generic TX3s from Tanix branded boxes ?

There is no proof that those so called "generic TX3" boxes are not made by Tanix. What it leads to is then just confirmation bias which says good quality product are made by Tanix, while bad quality products made of people who fake Tanix products.

how do you use Tanix RX3 mouse remote? (the bottom most button)
i pressed nothing happen.

Android 8 Alice UI

that button is to toggle between std and mouse mode.

in mouse mode, u use the arrows to move, OK to select.

cannot hold-swipe - this u need wireless or optical mouse.

ohh i tot hold and swipe macam LG tv lol

got it, seems a lot of hassle than its worth. I guess I go back to usb mouse. lol

i bought the tx3 mini, to install the netflix already so susah

By the name "Tanix" or TX3 on the tv box and the "Tanix" brand on the packing box.

Someone earlier posted that you can turn bluetooth-less Mini into Max with bluetooth with Max firmware.
Apparently the bluetooth hw is there all along.

Use remote with built in gyro feature.
Then you can swing like lightsaber.

Yes, one of them was me.

But i m not sure if everyone wants to mess with it like i did.

I think that's like a matter of different batches of production, or a production meant for a particular OEM reseller for a particular config of ram/storage/preloaded apps.

I would still maintain Tanix isn't a famous brand which people want to fake.

Your are the only one who use the word FAKE.

Not fake la.... just oem.

Oem ? The meaning of OEM means the reseller buy significant number of units and thus the manufacturer handles production of the units and then finally stick in the label for the OEM customers.

If Tanix handles the reseller customers meaning Tanix is still the manufacturer, the quality is still based on the quality of Tanix.

Fake/spoof - the meaning of fake means another manufacturer ( which is not Tanix ) produces boxes but stick in the label of Tanix, and thus the quality is not the quality of Tanix.

So this is OEM or fake/spoof ?

36 hours to 11.11... what's the plan bro?

this latest beelink gt1mini2 (s905x3) review irked me a bit:


whereas in this "TX3" video, u can see superuser option in 1:36:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xuZyzRjgUg

and u r quite right - the vast majority of tanix boxes are generic OEM.

this is the cheapest i found at shopee:
https://shopee.com.my/TX3-Android-9.0-TV-Bo...9925.7402046855

Download fro play store, no? Then pair it with mouse since it'll be mobile version with sd quality.

Pre-order.
20 day wait.
I wonder 20 days start when?

"20 days" been there for at least a week.
another seller shows 10 days, also for a week.
will check again on 11.11.

Fake tx3? Well it happened before with other brand

This Bangood seller of the S905X3 based TX3 says (in the Q&A section) it supports Netflix in HD because it's running Android TV OS.
Link below...

Bangood link

download apkpure apps in your tx3 mini. and u can download netflix from this apps. choose netflix version for tx3 mini. don't download latest version. you need choose another version netflix from apkpure.

i doubt it.

there are ATV firmwares for the box but i doubt it will be L1 to support netflix in HD.

in a few hours... 11.11... to buy or not?!
