    S89-H Shipping! T-minus 3-5

    post if you got one... no new firmware for it yet, right?

    Or perhaps not...

    -

    Bad news: Amlogic recalled all the previous chipsets shipped yesterday because of hardware bugs
    (thermal control failure, CPU core malfunction...etc.), so those early bird machines offered by other brands might be suffering from various issues;

    Good news: MINIX discovered the problem first;
    MINIX is using the new batches which are proven and tested to be OK;
    The new batches just arrived this week so won't be available for shipment
    until 1st week of June;
    Pre-ordering shall start next week;

    Actually we have said the 1st batch chipsets from Amlogic got issues much earlier,
    and now it has been further proven.


    Congratulations to those who have been patient enough to wait for us.
    You will be getting a great machine.
    I also.. Have a unit in order

      My order is shipped since 5/21/2014 (but via Singapore post (Air Mail) because to try to avert customs)...

      I'm follow the threads here at the board the last 3-4 weeks really intensive and I don't know what/how I have to think about the information from minix, because only some (maybe <10) devices seams to have problems (~ 5/5 heat/HDMI) but the most most not...
      AND the s802H is not the first bulk of the s802

        Amlogic recalled all the previous chipsets shipped yesterday
        It takes time to put amlogic chip inside a pcb.. then put fw on it.. ect
        Hopefully.. the bad units have not hit the market (yet)


        Ps.. thanks finless for adding the removed thread info..


        I do wonder.. was the word 'yesterday' added later.. or did i miss read..??

                  Well...
                  Here is my story..
                  102k4.. tried xbmc v13rc1 addon hdtrailer.net.. pretty much every 1080p trailer failed ( buffer every 20s / cache full)
                  Update.. 104k4 easy upgrade using sd
                  Xbmc v14a1 addon hdtrailer.. pretty much..the same.. cache full
                  Made a advancedsetting.xml... now the buffer error disapeared.. but a av-stutter appeared..
                  Then i got a brain storm /settings/storage/cache delete

                  Now everthing plays smooth
                  --

                  --

                  sadly..almost non of addons i use work on xbmc v14
                  --
                  Nags.. well.. easy access to statusbar is lost / i miss 'full!screen' app.. but dont have root access (yet)
                  No auto reconnect to lan or wifi..

                    So the regular s89 standard firmware is okay to use?

                      Just got mine!

                      Special thanks to Eric from Geekbuying for spending the extra $$$ to ship it DHL (it's not cheap from China) and donating the box!

                            Just got mine today too from Geekbuying.... Good times ahead, let me check and make sure it isn't DOA

                            Edit: not DOA and works great out the box, streamed a few 1080p movies with DTS and it doesn't seem that warm to me. Definitely cooler than my T-R42.
