MXIII - G II TV Box Amlogic S912 Octa-core

[bluesmanuk]

Hi all. Been reading for a while on this site but just joined. Thanks for the wealth of knowledge that you all have provided over the years!

I own this box and have overcome a few issues but can't seem to find a solution for one remaining annoyance. Scrolling with an air mouse using left click/hold and drag does not work in Chrome. This function worked properly in the stock version of Chrome that came with the box but does not work after Chrome updated. Instead of scrolling, this function selects everything on the webpage that the cursor is drug over. I installed Firefox to see how it behaves and it works properly. Has anyone seen this issue and have a solution for it? Thanks!

I have seen this issue mentioned a few times.

On the basis that it works in another browser would indicate that it is a Chrome app issue.

Perhaps one to report directly to Google.

I agree that it is likely a Chrome app issue. It does however operate normally on my other box which is a MXIII-G Android 5.1. Perhaps the issue with the MXIII-G II is a Chrome and Android 6.0 issue? There may also be a setting buried somewhere in Chrome://flags that would rectify the issue but I don't know which setting it could be. Thanks for your thoughts!

I have the same issue on both MXIII-G II and Beelink GT1.

I think that you can report a bug or send feedback directly from the app.

Not for me.

Only works using burn card maker.

No issue for me though as it works perfectly every time.

1. Edit the build.prop (located in \system) and find an entry called service.bootvideo=0. Change the 0 to 1, reboot and see if that helps.
2. In essence, powering down is a form of suspend, as it switches to a low power mode that can be turned on again with the remote, albeit shutting down any open apps but it's quick enough to open apps again when required.
3. Yes, the remote is really designed for the stock TV launcher types. So best to test out other launchers similar to Nova or get an airmouse.
4. With HDMI CEC turned on in both the box and TV, if I power off the TV whilst the box is on then the box goes to sleep mode (ed light), when I then power up the TV, the box wakes up from sleep leaving me with the screen as it was when I powered off the TV, with any open apps still open at the previous state. Check the status of HDMI CEC on your TV to see if it matches that of the box setting.

Hi Bluesmanuk,

can you explain how to find and edit the build.prop?

There is more than one way to do it but perhaps the easiest is to use this app from the Play store.

There is an option in the app to backup your existing one first just in case of an issue.

Then find the entry in the build.prop, modify, save and then reboot to apply it.

Great stuff

Does anybody else have an issue where the box won't wake up from sleeping with an RF air mouse? You have to press the hardware button on the box to get it to wake up. For now, I enabled Stay Awake in Developer Options but this keeps the box awake constantly. It would be nice to allow it to sleep. Thanks!

You would probably have to program the air mouse to put to sleep and wake up, if yours has that functionality.

I have an air mouse that does have IR program ability to assign buttons to certain functions and it works for me.

I'll check into the features of my air mouse. Thanks!

Beelink GT1 Nougat firmware installed via the PC and all the basic things work: WiFi, LAN, remote (all buttons), SD, USB, OTG, light by the power button, on, off, reboot. The only thing still no navigation and notification bar.
