I received my TX3 yesterday. Just test a few apps. PlayTV not working out of the box (the seller installed for me). The screen hang every time I opened the app. But after update to latest version (via app store), it works perfectly.
Netflix video quality is really bad for my 1080p screen. May be worst for 4k tv.
Don't have astro account so didn't try it.
Android 8.1
PlayTV for phone
Anyway, is there any way I can change the tile shortcut for Alice UX? I mean the tile like chrome and playstore.

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Nov 13 2019, 06:28 PM) do u mean tanix t3 mini? becos there are 3 models with this "TX3" - tx3 mini, tx3 max, tx3 S905x3. can be android 7.1.2, 8.1 or 9.0... depending on model and where/who u buy from. yes, netflix will be poor... becos all 3 models is L3, u get SD 480p quality only. spend 5-10x more on another box if u want it in HD/4k. the one i quoted originally... latest info says it's now somewhere on a boat in the south china sea. Forgot to mention. Tx3 mini with android 8.1. Actually not really into watching Netflix with this box becoz of the content not suitable for kids. Just for the sake of testing. Mostly I use just for YouTube and also playtv. Anyone check their internet speed with this box? Mine only get around 20-25 Mbps using http://speedtest.tm.com.my/. Check both with wifi 5g and lan cable. |

QUOTE(szecheng @ Nov 13 2019, 08:53 PM) LAN will override your wifi 5g no point connecting both Yeah I know that. Have to unplug lan to use wifi and test with both connection. But I want to know if the speed is normal to get only 25Mbps. I use unifi 100 Mbps and I have no problem getting that speed with my phone. |

QUOTE(GuyM @ Nov 14 2019, 07:20 PM) Did you placed any cap speed at router? Nope because I have no problem getting 100Mbps with my phone. Just now I use Ookla app to test and get 50Mbps. Still far away from 100Mbps. Will try with new cable when available. |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Nov 14 2019, 09:36 PM) if nominal 100mbps, and u get wifi 50mbps on the box, it is good. if u use LAN cat 6 cable, u should get 105 mbps. yr phone is likely a better MIMO ac 5ghz device, so u can get full 100. phones or boxes or pc or tablet... this "WIFI-router sucks" issue been trashed to death a zillion times in broadband section with a thousand experts in a hundred threads. https://forum.lowyat.net/NetworksandBroadbandno point discussing here. I just want to know if it is normal to get that speed for this box or any other setting that I might need to use. Not discussing about "WIFI-router sucks"... etc... so it is not really pointless. |

QUOTE(puchongite @ Nov 15 2019, 10:01 AM) Yeah agree with you, and quite surprisingly many users here are always willing to admit they are TX3 owners, but very few willing to tell you what internet speed they are getting from the box. Sounds like they have never tested the speed of the box, particularly from the wifi ( including 5G). Many tvboxes have very poor wifi performance. Yup.. always get roundabout reply without getting the answer. QUOTE(ruzaini88 @ Nov 15 2019, 11:42 AM) I am using 100mbps unifi, when using wifi it can reach 30mbps max. When using ethernet, the value is double. Thank you. So it is normal to get around that speed. For the ethernet, probably I need to change the cable. Still waiting for my purchases. |

QUOTE(azwandy @ Dec 11 2019, 11:42 PM) So if the box has dual wifi and bluetooth, it is ok to buy tx3 2Gb? I have TX3 mini 2Gb and so far no problem using it. Got both dual wifi and bluetooth (5g wifi really useful but bluetooth haven't try). The only problem I got is Netflix's resolution very low (expected problem). So I think it depends on what you will use the box for. For casual use like Youtube, play movie file (not 4k) and playtv it is really enough. The cost is already low so the damage also minimize. Of course, you can't expect much for this price range box. |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Dec 12 2019, 10:33 AM) bottomline... imo, either go for the lowest price base functional box or the higher priced ones with proven features u require. Yup, if the lowest price has all the functions you need, why go to a higher price? After all the gadgets all around me, I think better I become stingy. From experience, all the additional functions I was so hyped when buying them usually will only useful within 1, 2 weeks while I'm exploring it. Then only use basic function. So, if we know what we really need, then cheapo products sometimes can perform well. |

QUOTE(billyfree @ Jan 29 2021, 11:33 PM) It installed with no problems. I've been working on this box for almost a month now and this is the first file that has worked for me without freezing so far. The install did not even change any of my settings or apks that I had downloaded. It seems a little slow to load different apks but it is working without freezing. I will continue to test it out and let you know how it works out for me. Thanks you so much for this file. Hi, my TX3 mini-a got stuck at boot (the tx3 logo). I already reset to factory setting but now stuck at the loading screen (the loading screen after tx3 logo screen). So now my last option is to flash new firmware. I see your post and would like to ask some question. So you are using the tx3 max firmware from https://www.getdroidtips.com/stock-firmware...tx3-max-tv-box/ ? Did you follow the same steps to flash from the website? Using usb burning flash tools? |
