Reason for editing: Links to firmware for Vontar with a green card from the seller, Turning on using aero-mouse, firmware XTMOD 3.0, firmware atvXperience v2FF

Yesterday I received the prefix updated over the air and downloaded the firmware from 28.07, all the same, at the reception speed not higher than 2 MB. The return is excellent under 40 mb. What could be the reason?



Rep: (82)
Apparently the reason is the misunderstanding that is called the antenna. Most likely poorly soldered. How to exit - go to the LAN wire.
Or here are the options:
Aerial 3dbi + RP-SMA connector
8dbi antenna
RP-SMA connector

newcomers accept?
Good day to all!
I received a prefix today, I ordered it on a gearbest, I came in two weeks.
I liked the prefix, it works smartly, the network with the movies picked up with a bang, but IPTV slows down ((
The speed on wifi completely upset by the cable is all right.
But the most frustrating thing is the lack of ROOT
Has anyone solved this question?
ps KingRoot not rolled

X95 (pro) which is 8GB too.

he has android 5.1
and our devices have 6.0

It is very interesting how to get the root ..



Rep: (12)
And how do consoles deal with diodes? Is it visible that is on or in standby mode? Youtube how it works, is there a green screen instead of video? 4K YouTube can be set for example from a browser. If the flash is set.

How to install applications directly to the SD card not having root rights.

Yes, in Android 6.0 there was such an opportunity.
Insert a blank SD card. Lower the top panel. In it, you will see the inscription "New SD card detected"

Click "Customize"
Select "Internal Memory"

Now all new applications will be installed on your SD card. It will become the new built-in memory.
Windows will not be able to read this SD card. Linux only.

Video, if not entirely clear.

Hello to all!
I received and launched the prefix ... I was upset: (I understand that these are childhood diseases, everything is still very raw and crooked, but at once there were so many glucobags that weren't pleased.
Start with the fact that each inclusion resets the language to Chinese and must be reinstalled. Only 5 times on / off and already enough. Probably have to learn Chinese. In the thread onxdaalso complain about this bug.

Wifi somehow hooked and fell off once, now in general my router is not on the list (hellolesha_leshin ). At the same time, neighboring networks are visible normally.

The "Wifi On" button in the menu does not respond, you need to go to More settings and turn it on there. A bunch of extra clicks with the remote control.

Some kind of strange uneven loudness ... TV channels usually cost 20 divisions, I listen to 50 divisions with a prefix YouTube to twist. When switching to TV, you must not forget to turn the volume up first, and then it bursts out.

Airmouse did not work, no reaction at all. I hooked up a wireless keyboard with a mouse, well, at least here without ambushes, it worked. BUT ... in the Yutube search bar, pressing the enter instead of starting the search adds the letter to the end of the query and to start the search you must click with the mouse, it is inconvenient. Maybe somewhere else will manifest, until I managed to drive.

There is too much negative for the first day. Chyadt?

In the TV somewhere in the hdmi-cec settings, you need to disable the language, or in the console turn off in Playback settingsoff and the language will not be reset

When I had the firmware from July 19, it was the same.
In firmware 28.07, the spontaneous language changes were fixed.

Better this orSunvell T95Xto take?
I understand they are the same, the question then is reliability and that there will be a normal firmware

Is it better to take this or Sunvell T95X?

Need to wait for reviews. How much is there debugged firmware.
Sellers are not yet in stockSunvell T95XWith 2GB of memory, sending only at the end of August. Moreover, the gearbest constantly shifts deadlines. May send in September.

The Mini M8S II already has three firmware versions. Everything works perfectly. Of the minuses: Wi-Fi is weak and not enough root, but it is a matter of time.
Weak Wi-Fi is treated by wired LAN or by replacing the antenna.

Tell me a flash drive the maximum amount of the device perceives? And it will format which file system it will be possible to download from trackers such as large files, or to a 4 GB limit. rests on the size?

all 2.4 antennas are so small and should be. Now, if you make it in the form of a double rhombus, I made one such one, it beats 100 meters.
