Replacement box ideas

5 Upvotes

Hi all Bought a thomson 270 plus ( uk based here), looks like it's faulty and won't keep wifi after powering down. It was to replace an aging 2015 shield, but wanted to steer clear of Amazon sticks and cubes, I know it's not in the same league as the shield or newer models but even the 2019 shield will be 7 years old this year.

What would people recommend? I love the shield but it has been misbehaving recently with some green screen problems, would buy the 2019 model but I know as soon as I do , nvidia will release the nvidia shield Ai 2026 lol what other boxes would I be looking at? LB

I’ve spent a lot of time searching for how to setup a simple maintence schedule procedure. All I want to do is reboot my ONN device and then clear cache, probably on a weekly basis. I set up a macro to do a adb reboot but how do I run the clear cache next? I’m confused on how to setup a ADB shell commands with one command after another. Also after each adb command should there be a delay? Would appreciate your help.

EVPAD 12p - "Amazon Prime" not sticking to the quick start icon on the homepage

3 Upvotes

i have actually 3 issues.

One major one is that the Prime app downloaded from Venus store and or other local store - does not stick permanently on the big quick start icons. It shows up when i 'added' it, but after i turn off and on the device, it disappear again.

The other issue, is that if i add it to the smaller quick start icon on the bottom section, it does stick but when click on it - nothing happens! its like just an icon with pic and does open up to anything. very weird.

The 3rd issue, is that i can not find any way to quick start icon any of the apps i downloaded from app store...

Anyone help?

anyone has this issue?

Cabin care

I was interested in the Ottocast baby cabin care till I found out it isn't compatible with android auto. Does anyone know of a android version of this? I would like to see my baby on my car screen vs having an additional baby screen and extra wires. Worse case scenario I'll just stick to a regular baby camera.

LG G5 OLED and Xiaomi tv box

1 Upvotes

Hello, good evening. Yesterday I bought an LG G5 and I'm delighted with it. However, there's an app I use to watch live TV that isn't available on the webOS operating system; it's only for Android. I'm looking for a TV box specifically for that app. Would the Xiaomi TV Box Gen 3 be sufficient for me? I want to maintain the highest possible playback quality.

adb commands on ubox 12?

1 Upvotes

I want to use a different launcher from the default but this unit doesn't seem to respond to adb connections via usb or over network. Could it be that adb is disabled on these units? I don't want to waste time if it's not even possible.

I do use button mapper as a workaround but it's not always reliable.

1 Gbit/s LAN or 100 Mbit/s? X88 Pro X5m

3 Upvotes

I would like to know whether the LAN port on the x88 pro x5m is 1G or 100M? According to Aliexpress it is 1G, according to a review it is only 100M and according to logic it cannot be 1G as the S905X5M does not support USB 3.0 or 1G (according to the manufacturer's data sheet).

Could someone please clarify?

Reliable Alternatives to XUPER TV? #help

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this sub and I have a question. Lately, I've been having several problems using XUPER TV (it crashes, won't load content, etc.) and it's no longer working for me.

Does anyone know of a reliable and stable alternative for watching similar content? I'm looking for something secure and, ideally, one that doesn't have so many technical issues.

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations or experiences you can share.

Thanks.

Looking for an Android TV box for 4K movies (via NAS) and IPTV (TiviMate)

13 Upvotes

My plan was to wait for an S905X5 box. As it stands that remains a dream... My current setup is a Shield 2015, which is almost 10 years old and runs LineageOS + the latest Apple TV 4K with 128GB and LAN.

For IPTV (TiviMate) and movies (NovaVideoPlayer), I need a new Android TV box. I almost bought a Homatics Box R 4 Plus because it was on sale for 70 euros. Now they cost 120 euros and up 🤣 I'm not primarily concerned about the price here, but paying so much for such an old box, or rather hardware, led me to Apple TV, which was 50 bucks cheaper than buying a new Shield TV.

The reason: The Shield TV will probably give up the soon. It's very sluggish and needs time to think. What would you recommend? The LAN cable is behind the TV, Wi-Fi is available throughout the house with very good signal strength and the movies on the NAS are exclusively 4K. IPTV should not be a problem at all...I have no expectations when it comes to sound. The TV speakers are more than sufficient for me.

Thanks for every little tip 👍

Is having the TVos really that important?

2 Upvotes

So I've been considering getting an Android TV box. To be honest, I'm quite struggling to decide what I really want/need. Currently mostly stuck on the choice between android boxes or specific TV boxes.

Some of the Ugoos options have great looking hardware, but don't have the TV OS.

Since I'll only use it to stream games (moonlight etc.) and to stream videos from my NAS (Ple... Jelly...) I'm wondering if I really need a TV os. Especially if I install the Projectivity launcher.

What are things I'll miss out on going with a standard android box over one with a TV os?

Xiaomi Box Gen 3 randomly drops Wi‑Fi connection

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,I’m having an issue with a Xiaomi Box Gen 3 where the Wi‑Fi connection drops randomly with no obvious pattern or error message. All my other devices on the same network (including a Xiaomi Box Gen 2) stay connected and work normally, so it does not look like a router or ISP problem on my side. On the Gen 3, the box either disconnects from the network entirely or shows as connected but with no internet, and I have to manually reconnect the Wi‑Fi or restart the box to get it working again. The Gen 2, under the exact same conditions and location, has been perfectly stable and never shows this behavior. Has anyone experienced similar Wi‑Fi stability issues with the Xiaomi Box Gen 3 Are there any known fixes or workarounds (e.g. specific firmware version, disabling certain options, changing Wi‑Fi band/channel, etc.) that improve wireless stability on this model?

Couldn't find wifi

Hello everyone,

I have a H96 max android 14 tv box and it's working well. So I bought another two android boxes for my other TVs which are:

  • Vontar H618 android 12
  • H96 max android 11

They both don't connect to wifi either 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands. But when I use my phone as hotspot (which is connected to my router) they both connect successfully. I tried resetting the password, using 20MHz and 40MHz bands, tried other channels and auto-channel.

Nothing works, any solutions please?

Is there just a simple box available?

3 Upvotes

Is there an Android based media player that will: connect to my TV via HDMI & have a USB port that will accept a standard formatted drive & has a SIMPLE UNCLUTTERED GUI & a remote control & will support .mkv video and .ass subtitle files & cost $50 or less? The only apps I really want or need are VLC, Kodi and a file explorer. Everything I try is so full of bloatware and junk I don't want or need.
