    Android TV "Bricked" Mi Box

    "Bricked" Mi Box

    Posted: 28 Feb 2020 06:59 AM PST

    I have a Mi BOX that I upgraded with the latest version of Android through the software updater. I moved it to another room and now I just get a black screen. I do not get a Android logo at all. I have tried hard resetting it to factory defaults and that did not work. I reached out to Mi Box Support who wants me to dig up a receipt, which I am unable to locate. Any tips on how to get this back up and running without tossing it out the window?

    Bluetooth headphones with Philips TV-s?

    Posted: 28 Feb 2020 05:59 AM PST

    It's a 2018 model 4k, qled - 55PU something (can't recall exact model).

    But it refuses to detect my headphones (Sennheiser Momentum 3). I can connect the remote, xbox controller etc.
    The headphones work fine even on my 10 years old phone (some ancient Huawei).

    I can leave it right next to TV, in pairing mode, let it scan and nothing.

    Is this intentional/by design to save money or issue with Android TV/some config that limits bluetooth?

    "Disabled" wifi on android tv

    Posted: 28 Feb 2020 03:14 AM PST

    I am using tcl uhd android tv and most of the time it wont connect to the wifi showing "disabled" or "saved",meanwhile other devices are working fine. I have checked there's no mac filter on it and tried forget network then reconnect but still i wont connect.

    Does RX optical power has to do anthing with this? My router setting is showing -27.70dBm right now(Referred value:-27 to -8dBm by my ISP).should i contact my ISP or factory reset TV?

    Are Sony the only ones who produce inferior Android TVs???

    Posted: 28 Feb 2020 05:23 AM PST

    I do not say this lightly, as their screen and Bravia motion technology is very good, however their Android software implementation is absolutely terrible! They forgot to add the ability to connect USB-to-Ethernet adapters in their USB ports!??? Who does that in this day and age???

    A friend tried 4 USB to ethernet devices on his TCL, ALL worked.

    Another friend tried 2 USB to ethernet devices on his LG, WORKED!

    Another tried 3 USB to ethernet devices on his Samsung, 2 of them WORKED!

    I tried 8 USB to ethernet devices on my Sony AF9, NONE of them worked.

    ​

    I wish I never jumped back into Sony land now, should have known they'd do stupid things like this with their devices, no wonder everyone is buying LG these days. At least I know where to go on the next upgrade this christmas.

    ​

    If anyone knows of a workaround with Sony AF9, please do tell. Effectively I need a good 1GBit connection to the TV, unfortunately the wifi doesn't cut it due to interference and reduction in wifi speed, and the in-built 100mb (yes, really! 100Mbit old tech!) ethernet connection is a total joke.

    Xiaomi Mi Box S back to $29.99

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 10:02 AM PST

    Is there any app alternative that allows you to use tv everywhere (spectrum provider) like Fitzytv?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 05:59 PM PST

    Just recently, Fitzytv discontinued their tv everywhere option as they're in a dispute with Adobe. Wondering if there is something out there that would allow me to sign in using my provider (Spectrum) to login and gain access to my channels?

    Did the Android 9.0 / Pie update for the Mi Box fix the CEC volume?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 12:07 PM PST

    I have the Mi Box 3 with Oreo 8.1 and every time I change the volume on the Mi Box, two different volume bars show up on screen: a Mi Box volume and my TV volume.

    Has this issue been fixed in Android 9.0 on the Mi Box S? I want it to only display my TV volume.

    Get a system app to show up...

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 04:33 PM PST

    Does anyone have any tricks to get an app that shows up only in the system apps section to show up with the other apps? I don't want to have to install another launcher. Is there some kind of app I can get that can make it show up like other apps?

    I sideloaded Xbox xcloud on my Mi Box S and don't want to have to go to settings/apps/system apps/xcloud/open every time I want to play it

    Any help would be great! Thanks!
