X96 MAX Plus Amlogic S905x3 Android 9.0 4GB/64GB DUAL WiFi BT Gig LAN

[onolox]

My experience with it, it overheats easily, I had to modify it and put an tiny netbook cooler, now is well cooled temps not over 55ºC.

Stupid design, the board is upside down.

I can't connect it to PC, if I plug the usb cable in my pc in a usb2 port the box reboots. If I connect only to my PC without the power it powers itself from the usb, but no adb connection too.

Awesome, good to hear that you like Vasily's work! Thanks for sharing the links for others.

I would use the Amlogic UBT that is recommend by Khadas for installation with the current chipsets, tool version 2.2.0 https://dl.khadas.com/Tools/USB_Burning_Tool_v2.2.0.zip and not the "Latest" tool in your link you posted from androidmtk.com.

Mine was going up to 85 C until it shutdown and rebootet.
I did a step by step on CE in the DIY Thermal Modification.
If it is OK to post a link here, these are my 3 posts here.

Also I did a dispute in Aliexpress where I wanted 16 Euro (half the price for a 4/64) as a refund.
They wanted a video and I made one where at 85 C shortafter the box does a reset /auto reboot and that convinced them.

The 16 E is already most of the 26 E price of the A95X F3 RGB what runs cooler since the procesor is not mounted on the underside where it heats a lump of sheat metal.
Also I figured since CoreElec uses less than 1 GB to run Kodi 2 GB should do fine. Android will be wiped and a clean CE installation put on the box as OS.

i'm having a strange problem with x96 max+. an h264 avc video i made plays fine and smooth in my h96max+ but it fails in x96max+ when i enable hardware acceleration. it gets stuck at a certain point in video and becomes slow motion. if i disable hardware acceleration, this part plays fine but then other heavy bitrated parts start to shutter. so, it seems like hardware acc is not working as well as it does in h96 max+ with android 7. any ideas to solve that issue? i have the latest june firmware in x96.

Is there anyone besides me that is having wi-fi issues with the X96 Max. I have the latest with x3 and 5g. I have 9 on them that will not open apps like stremio, filelinked or really any vod app. It says connected in network settings, internet and youtube work. This is nuts. Please help !!

I have several of the x96 max plus2, newly purchased ( some came today ) and the wifi is not working properly. I did the ota updates and it's up to 20200620-1131. The wifi connects, speedtest reports the right speed. Everything seems ok until I try to run cinema or filelink,stremio, all vod apps. They load very slowly on each step. Filelink won't open at all. I'm highly invested and really need help.

Not a problem at all if you buy this box and use only for CoreELEC (Kodi+Linux software). If you buy this box and want good performance from Android then you are sadly in for a world of pain and headache.

I would like to use it with EmuElec, so probably not a good idea either.

What about temperatures? Is the cpu facing down a true problem?

For a box with excessive support on 4pda, freaktab sure has little to nothing on offer. I am hoping to take this box and so far freaktab forum is disappointing for it.

[duboisbrian]

what would you say is the difference between this and the x96 air ?

only thing i see is the 1000mb lan (everything else is the same unless im missing something)?

x96 air $35 x96 max $47

30% more just for that 1000mb lan ?

Thanks! Lots of interesting information.

This claims to have an S905X3 chip. That chip has four A55 cores. A55 has ARMv8.2-A architecture -- 64 bit.

Perhaps it comes with 32-bit Android firmware. Is that what you are observing?

I am more like practical kind of huy ...Thing is that you cannot instal APK files built for ARMv8; simple is that
