TX3 Mini arrived.

- It's model Mini-A
- Android 8.1
- Has Close Root in settings
- Bluetooth working, tested with Logitech K380
- ethernet port seems not working, running on wifi now. I think it sees my 5Ghz wifi, will confirm later.
- UniFi PlayTV is working
- AOTG not tested yet, forgot my password
- Youtube OK
- Netflix OK
- Kodi dunno how to use
- many other apps installed. Tested one, forgot name, which has local TV channels, etc...
- still a bit blur on how to the thing

It is easy to use any Android box once you get the hang of it. My advice is to uninstall any apps that you are not using, and try some of the paid IPTV options, if you know what I mean lol.

Seller must be mistaken or unaware.

The root switch is in Settings.. superuser... close root there.

Ask seller to recheck!

I will be surprised if it is there for 4+32, 4+64 but not 2+16.

Even tx3mini 2+16 has it.

Great to hear that. Thank you for the confirmation. Just bought from the seller, and hoping that the root switch is indeed there. By the way, your review convinced me to buy the box, so thank you notworthy.gif

There is switch to turn off superuser/root

Cheers. I'm quite relieved to hear that.

Tanix TX6 is quite popular...just go for the 4gb/64gb variant. If u are adventurous enough...u can go for the amlogic s912 octa-core Tanix TX9S from gearbest.com for RM107. It supports AOTG and unifi tv apps too, but need to disable root from the settings menu.

I think the new TX3 with S905X3 would be the new 'must buy', over the TX6.

Bought the TX3 S905X3 per AVFAN recommendation, but I bought from a Malaysian seller here: https://shopee.com.my/TX3-TVBox-Android-9.0...3663.1392020997

My review is that it is a very good box and well worth the money if you’re just using it for Astro Go and unifi@PlayTV, and also works for ahem apps well. I would suggest this box over any of the RM300-RM400 boxes for sure, and it is a huge improvement over the original TX3 and TX6. One thing to note, the WiFi ain’t that good, but I’m using LAN, so no issues for me.

*YES, there is a root switch to unroot the box*

Cheers bro AVFAN for your recommendation.

:thumbsup:

3 months ago, i recommended tx3mini - the champion for its time.

today the worthy successor tx3 s905x3 is my recommendation - for just another rm60-70.

where u buy is immaterial, as long as u get the right box at right price and on time.

yes, the wifi is not so good becos it lacks external antenna and 5ghz is only N.

i look forward to the next tanix upgrade with s922x chipset, gigabit port and ac wifi. smile.gif

Same here, bro. I’m ready for the day when that product is available.

You have to either get a Astro GO account or subscribe to one of those ahem app that have its own thread here.

I don't know man, hard to know what causes it. I don't mind spending for a better box I don't know if it will fix this issue. Just like how I thought moving from tx3 mini to tx3 would stop the crash, but it didn't. I'm guessing it's the app not optimized but it's just a guess. If only there's a way to know. sweat.gif

I have the same issue as well, but not with other apps. Seems like the Astro Go app is not optimised.

I have a 2GB Tx3 mini, in the early days using older AstroGo version, the app would crash more often than not when I change tab quickly ( i.e. home, catch-up, movies, box set, library etc).

Lately after upgrading to latest version from apkpure - it rarely crash. Maybe it is my intuition to NOT quickly change tab before the last one is fully loaded. Could be the latest version fixed the problem.

You could try this to isolate if AstroGo is the problem.

Developer mode > Destroy activity as soon as you leave it.

Basically nothing runs in the background while using AstroGo. Not even the home launcher.

I did read you have HBO Go app. I don't have that in my Tx3.

If all else fails, just hard reset. Install AstroGo and nothing else. Test for a couple of days.

Thank you for the advice. Will try this later.
