MiBox Questions

by tooturntthomas

I purchased a MiBox around the time that they were able to purchase in the US (I purchased directly from Xiaomi online store). I have a few problems that continue to happen after several factory resets, etc. I have two that experience the same issues, and was wondering if anyone else experienced the same issues.

  • The system clock will reset to the absolute earliest that it can, which will break all apps, including the Google Play store. The only way to fix it is to manually change the time back.
  • The device will lock up and show a pink or green solid screen to which only unplugging and plugging back in will fix (this seems to not happen as much as I changed the HDMI cable from the stock one that came with the player)
  • I can't hold a stream whether it's Live TV, Twitch, FXNow, etc. All complain about network issues when the network itself doesn't seem to have any issues (one box is right next to the router, and the other is farther away but still reports excellent signal strength).
  • Apps like Twitch and FXNow will be signed out of my account and I have to re-authenticate every few days.
  • The Live Channels app guide data will only hold for a few hours, then it goes back to not having data. I can fix this by going into the HDHomeRun app and letting that guide data load, and then going back to the Live Channels app.

I'm just trying to gather whether anyone else is having these problems and if I should exchange these devices (either for another MiBox, or another device).

Thanks everyone in advance!

Go for an exchange.

I have an international/EU version from Gearbest, and I experience none of those problems.

I got mine form Walmart and have had none of these issues.

Never had any problems. Exchange might be best, sounds like you got a faulty device.

Maybe try to exchange at Walmart and say you got as a gift and don't have the receipt.

I've had the network issues. Rebooting it a couple times brings it back

Hi all,

I have a constraint in mibox 3, I can not upload files or photos through google applications drive or via internet browser can not. If I want to send email through gmail so I can't attach files, and there are always Pop Up "no application that can handle this action" is the cause of all this? could there possibly be some help from all of you?

Thanks
