Good afternoon people. I have just received my A95X Max. I am gonna participate and give as much info as I can regarding this box and I am eligible for testing purposes since I also have H96+ pro as my main box for viewing.

Feel free to contact me for testing ROMS and other stuff.

Keep in mind guys;if you use your Box(any Brand) you have to use "AirMouse" !!
Buy cheap or expensive any of AirMouse and go

A95X Remote not good(at least for me)
And some of functions does not with this Remote!!
for example;I use MX Player and upper line of this Player do not remotable! so you have to use mouse(remote mouse)
also many lines or functions etc., does not work with this Remote!

Get it AirMouse;its very easy and stable

I still awaiting respond from Geekbuying about "Picture Settings" issue!

"Secret Manufacturer"(as I know its WeChip) why Geekbuying do not give this information
I hate it unknown products

might be power failure!
or your Device does not recognize your HDD

So format it NTFS(might be "exFAT" supported) and might be device does not support FAT32

So give us more details for yr HDD?

[vjs905x]

I wanted to write "it worked", but mistyped and wrote "ot worked". So hdd worked without problem

And yes me for me this issue a "big effect"!
And why they use these "Picture Settings"(such a kinda prof.picture adjusting)??

Because picture(colour production)is not correct! and need some of adjustment
col.reprod. kinda reddisk/pinky tone! and Brightness/Backlight high!

These settings can often be left over from Phone or Tablet Roms and when used to create a BOX Roms often get removed,
But i guess they may have left them in and I doubt they will Work ever

Many an Amlogic box can have similar settings that do nothing, depends what was the base to make the Rom.

I think you would have same or similar settings on your TV.

[vjs905x]

I also suggest to try TV color calibration.

Hi Trebor,thx yr respond+

Yes probably they never do/fix it this thing and according to Geekbuying respond that its very clear!

Hi,vjs905x
my panels calibrated! I'v two of them and pic.quality very good and when I started to use this my latest box
then I hv suddenly understood that those pic./video settings is wrong! and need some of correction and when
I do this fm my panels that means all my pre-set calib. will change it and I do not want this

With these Box "SD" quality Low! HD Quality acceptable/better but not enough or even way far fm any of RK3399 Box as well

Seems that at present(under Box category) RK3399 is the best
Both SD&HD are perfect

So if you are looking for first criteria(like me) dont buy AML!! RK3399 rock
Well I keep this Box for my other preferences!
In fact not bad device and OTA Update function is very good and easy to update yr box too

But I'll request fm GeekBuying a some of "partly refund"

Bye++

2. "send back item" do not possible due to our Customs Export regulation! so I wont send back this device!

1. "$ 10 partial refund" I do not accept this amount which is very low!
My counter-offer was $ 25

++

well after RK3399 picture quality,this box(A95X MAX) with S905X2 does not satisfy me!
and probably I'll sale this item

If you have power issue,pls replace 3A PSU!! or 4A
Org.PSU 2.5A does not supported and need more Amper!
In my hand two more PSU one is 3A one is 4A and I'v connected 4A

Note;if you have TOSHIBA(Canvio) 1/2TB ext.HDD that means you need more power!!(Amper)
with WD and Seagate might be 2.5A enough(I do not think so) but this device require at least
3 even 4Amper PSU

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]Hi, the update works with a wired connection[/COLOR]

[bergamesk]

I did it latest Update with WiFi
But before when tried with Ethernet Wired does not work!
interesting

[ffroms]

try this:

- unplug your hdd/ssd
- Press rst button in AV port
- plug 5v 2.5A

in recovery,

- wipe cache
- wipe data
- power off the box

flash firmware like in this video

Again go in recovery,

- wipe cache
- wipe data
- power off the box

- plug your hdd/ssd
- power on the box
format you hdd as external storage

OK. I finally got time to play with this device and my problem with USB3 and NTFS. There is definitely problem recognizing NTFS. I have tried with 4 different device (thumb drive and HDD) and couldn't get writing faster then 32MB/s. When I tested with FAT32 it was great. Thumb drive got speed of 90MB/s without problems.
So, finally I decided to try with exFAT and bingo!!!! Now I have my SSD as internal drive with 235/135 MB/s (R/W)! Since I'm planing on moving file over LAN (1GB LAN) I don't need more speed then 120MB/s R/W.

So people, if you have same problem as me then go with exFAT.
