how can I turn off the Xiaomi Mi Box android tv??

by luigimacedonia

Hi, I'm trying to turn off my device, but I can only reboot it (with the power button). The only setting possible is to switch the power button to "resume and pause".

I don't want to let a chinese device 24x7 on, accessing to my LAN, but I don't want to corrupt the Android just plugging it off neither.

Thanks!

It's a device made for the living room. They wouldn't make it bork itself cuz it loses power or doesn't shut down properly. Heck, Android was designed to gracefully recover since it was made for devices that run on batteries.

And if you're worried about China, why are you buying gadgets? And where are you buying electronics that don't have components from China? That sounds impossible.

and I highly doubt the CCP cares what you masturbate to. The CIA on the other hand...

It's not like it's a random off the wall product. It's even listed on Google's Android TV website. You think all Nexus 6P owners turn their phones off when they aren't using them, since Huawei makes it?

and i really thought that people who say its a "Chinese product" so in hence it must suck/ brake/ spy or whatever stupid reason are non-existent.

you know in our day and age being ignorant is a choice. i really hope you haven't still settled on that choice.

I'm sure the Chinese wizards that made your mibox are really monitoring your life while you watch netflix lol sounds like you need to get out more. Or stay away from technology. Lol

Press to turn off, long press to reboot.

Agree with you all; my first post was derogatory. Errata: should be read "I don't want a device 24x7 accessing to my LAN".

I'm not worried about sniffing my LAN; I just don't want to be an exit node for a nasty action.
