QUOTE(waghyu @ May 17 2021, 11:04 AM) Interface ok or laggy? Remote only or can use phone to control? I got both Mi Box (living room) and Mi Stick (Bedroom), From my experience, pretty much no much laggy ....can say ok i guess Mi box and Stick provide bluetooth remote... and ur also can use android tv apps (download at playstore, setting is just straight forward) to control the box/stick using phone. |

QUOTE(backwards @ May 17 2021, 02:54 PM) Thanks for the help guys! I'm leaning on the Mi Stick because of price, and I'm not planning to watch a lot anyway, just some movies now and then from google store (Speedy RIP) and maybe some netflix but not planning to subscribe every month, only when I need. And not really care about 4k or even HD, since my TV is only like 28" or 32" can't really remember U need HDMI Switch not HDMI Splitter, Splitter is use when ur want to display on two output (example 2 tv) from 1 main source  The only thing that make me think about the Mi Box now is that I need to use a HDMI splitter. TV only 1 port and using for the digital tv box already. So if its the stick, it will be sticking out of the splitter box and maybe cause it to lop-sided due to weight, coz I expect the splitter to be pretty light...  Anyway for HDMI switch any cheap HDMI switch will do just fine. Try to fine HDMI switch with integrated output HDMI male cable so no need to pening about long hdmi cable mess and also can easily conceal the switch behind the TV. example of product is like the link below (https://shopee.com.my/HDMI-Switcher-3-port-4Kx2K-1080P-AUTO-Switch-adapter-converter-i.5009230.7116906324) Please keep in mind if ur using old tv chances that the USB port on the TV (if got) is not powerful enough to power up the HDMI Stick....but then again the stick also include power adaptor in the box This post has been edited by Rubypoyo: May 17 2021, 04:31 PM |

QUOTE(backwards @ May 17 2021, 06:10 PM) Haha right!! I always search HDMI switch on lazada but when I type here it come out wrong. Been looking at something similar, so many sellers have a similar looking switch. Thanks for that, I never realized the integrated cable will save some headache compared to the box type. no issue regarding unplug/plugin back hdmi, cuma hassle only... just be mindful when unplug/plugin to avoid damage on the hdmi tv port...The port on the TV is pretty accessible, so I'm now considering trying without the switch. I can plug/unplug according to need until I feel I really need it, especially since I don't seem to see any seller for Mi Stick also selling the switch so I have to order separately anyway. Is there any danger I should know about plug/unplug HDMI? Too much will damage the port? One last question, I did notice more than one online review for the Mi Stick mentioned the micro usb port there is for "charging". Its for power right? I'm pretty sure something like that don't have space for a battery, nor is it needed... The stick can only be powered using adapter or power usb port connected to the stick micro usb... ..oh ya need to mention to transfer data like example apk file, u need to use app like "file commander" (can be download in playstore)...to transfer data via network |

QUOTE(backwards @ Sep 1 2023, 08:18 PM) My thread is still alive Probably cache already accumulated until device starting jadi pening and slow.... More than 2 years on, my Mi Stick is starting to give hiccups. Netflix and Disney/Hotstar is slow to start at times, and likes to exit to main screen sometimes. When its OK, its OK. When its not, then it keeps quitting or slow loading. Sometimes need to restart a few times. Today was even better, it connected to my router but says no internet. I had to turn on and off the wifi a few times before it was ok. Any suggestions? Or is it one leg in the grave? Actually the fix is very easy.....just factory reset it....install everything back.... |
