For you guys that have the Mi Box S (the new refreshed version), does your remote buttons feel kinda loose?

The buttons on my remote feels kinda weird and loose, especially the app drawer button. Sometimes i hear crackles when i press the buttons, and the D-pad Left button gives a louder 'click' noise compared to the other D-pad buttons. It's hard to explain, but the buttons don't really feel firm and stiff when i click them, like the original Mi Box remote.

​

I've been thinking about doing a warranty claim, but i'd probably be denied, since all the buttons work.

I'd appreciate if someone with a MiBox or MiBox S (please specify which one you have) could do a speedtest on their device for me if yours is connected via AC wifi.

You can go to fast.com or simply google 'speedtest' in chrome or use the speedtest app.

I have an old .N router and my MiBox S can only pull around 40mbit down on my 250mbit line.

I'm wondering if the MiBox will get faster wifi speeds with an AC network or if it'll be just as slow on AC as it is on N.

I have to unplug this pos to restart it so it's not sluggish and videos aren't unwatchable 😤

I have the latest firmware

Just got a MiBox 4K, whenever I change the settings to 4k60Hz, my TV screen is all glitched with lines all across the screen. But when I chose 4K-smpte, it works

TV is an NU8000.

AppleTV 4K and FireTV both work just fine on 4K.

Edit: Fixed the problem above, but I have a new problem now.

I can't play any 4K content without the box stuttering. I have gigabit internet and the router is right next to the box. I connected via ethernet and the same problem occurs, so my internet is def not the problem. The box is brand new, just got it yesterday, so I don't think a factory reset will fix it. I also cannot play any live channels without the box stuttering. I have an HDHomeRun and basically any HD channel freezes every few seconds.

I am seeing the use of it in Fire TV. If the feature is not available yet, is it planned for future release?

Hey all,

Just recently jumping into the AndroidTV arena. I ditched all of my Xfinity satellite boxes cause got sick of paying monthly fees for something I didn't use extensively. I got a couple of Mi Box S's to stream in those areas I still sometimes use. Found a Xfinity apk that's working and got that loaded on both of them.

Next thing I'd like to look at doing is I have some movies and shows that I LEGALLY OWN in digital format that I'd like to be able to stream to these boxes. Is there a way to do this that isn't overtly complex?

​

I'm good with technology so I can handle complex, but the amount of times I'd be using this isn't high so if it involves setting up a separate machine purely as a "server" just for this or having to dedicate a part of my desktop to always be on and able to feed, then it probably isn't worth it to me.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

My Mi Box 3 recently updated itself to the Oreo version, everything works fine, except when I start it after it's in sleep mode for 3+ hours. It keeps freezing and stuttering. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there anyway to integrate Android TV and Google Home in such a way that when there is a voice search prompt on Android TV that it will make the Google Home listen? I'm using a Logitech Harmony setup which unfortunately does not have a voice search mic on the remote so get the two Google products to work together would be great.

Hello. I used to have a Logitech Revue way back in the day, and it was pretty good. I've been out of the loop for a while on the Android TV stuff.

Anyway, I bought a Mi Box from Walmart for $40, and I'm sort of surprised that it doesn't have a web browser installed by default.

I logged into the play store on my phone and searched for browsers that I may be able to install to the Mix Box, but it looks like that loophole has been eliminated.

What's the best browser, (would prefer Chrome), and best way to Sideload?

Any tips for getting the XDA labs "store" installed and working? Thanks in advance.

So about 2 weeks ago (that I noticed) my Netflix would not open on my TV (Sony Xbr). It wouldn't open until I got an update 2 days ago. And now today, it doesn't open again... Is anyone else having this issue? It's super annoying, I just want to watch the Office.

Hi all.

Any advice on how to fix Netflix on my Mi Box? Stuttering of late and no idea why. I thought it might have been because I was low on space, but I've cleared that and have around 70% free. Have tried restarting the box, doesn't work either. It recently updated the version of Android running on it if that info helps.

I’m just curious, I currently use a Raspberry Pi 3 but it is not the best in handling large video files, I get a lot of freezing. I would like to upgrade. I’ve seen in the threads here that people recommend either the Fire Stick 4K or the N Shield.

Would the Fire Stick 4K performance be much better than the Raspberry Pi? Would be be better to just bite the bullet and get the Shield?

How’s YouTube TV app on Nvidia shield?

I’m usually using my XBox one to play YouTube Tv because it sucks on my android box and my 4k smart TV (LG) doesn’t have youtube TV app.

Is it worth getting Nvidia shield just for youtube TV and some other apks to watch free movies?

I use 3rd party remotes but keep the OEMs near me for voice searches. It would be nice to be able to wake the remote up when needed via click of a button on my daily remote, rather than physically access it or leave it always listening.

Any ideas? Wonder if there's an app that will allow me to turn it on.
