[ROM] Mecool M8S Pro L Stock & Nano Nexus ROM (Android 7.1)

[clarkss12]

I misunderstood your post, "The easiest way to verify if your remote is in Bluetooth, is to place your hand over the end of your remote where the emitter is and see if it still works." I took that to mean if it doesn't work then bluetooth is connected.

It looks like my remote won't pair via bluetooth.

This is what happens when I try and pair:-

"Turned on Bluetooth., bluetooth is searching

Put remote couple of inched from Mecool and held down "OK" and "-", light on remote flashes about every second for a while then stops.

One more tip. Remove the batteries from your remote, wait a few seconds and re-insert the batteries. Then follow to pairing procedure again, it should pair.

I am not sure what you mean by "stopped any key depressions getting through, so I guess Bluetooth is connected". If you have your hand over the end of the remote and you can't do anything with the remote, it means that you remote is NOT paired. Go into settings/more settings and under Bluetooth, it should show if your remote if paired......

Following up the Google Assistant alert didn't get me anywhere, still no voice control, I'll have to google some more.

Turned on Bluetooth.

Put remote couple of inched from Mecool and held down "OK" and "-", light on remote flashes about every second for a while then stops.

Voice still not working.

When the remote pairs, what should happen, message displayed, light flashes faster, entry in bluetooth settings, what should I be looking for, how can I tell if the remote bluetooth has paired or not?

A silly question, what am I supposed to be talking to Google now, Google Assistant?

I have an alert in the bar at the top of the screen asking me to try the Google Assistant, do I need to set this up?

That remote is a combo IR/Bluetooth. You need to go into settings/ more settings then turn on Bluetooth. It will then start searching for Bluetooth devices. Depress the center "OK" button while also depressing the minus "-" buttons. Hold the remote only a few inches from your box. It should pair, and then your Voice will work.

A very good question

As the buttons on the remote work I thought it was paired.

What kind of pairing gets voice control to connect?

When I stated Pro L that was what I bought x 2 and printed on the top of the box,

LQ was in response to a post and was from the bottom of the Box.

I have updated via OTA with Nano ROM.

Before updating I could press the voice button on the remote, the Mecool would display listening and I could issue voice command via the remote.

Following update my remote works but I have lost voice control :-(

Maybe some setting/option I am not aware of?

You stated in another thread, you have the LQ, you can easily swap between firmwares without any issues. I have two "L"s (had 3, but killed one), and one Pro. I am constantly swapping different ROMs, and the Bluetooth remote always work, even with the Pro. But your mileage may vary. Give it a try, hard to kill these boxes.

I have a Mecool M8s Pro L with voice control.

If I install this ROM will my BT remote and remote voice control still work?

Hi Guest ,
I updated my mecool MS8 Pro L with this : M8S Pro L OEM firmware (20180205.111652.V0928)
I also ticked wipe data and wipe the other option also.
After update and reboot the screen says hold (-) and (ok) of the remote to start scanning , when i do that it says there is no device nearby.
What is happening and what is to be done?
thanks

update

I read up on previous post of @Doctor-X, It was looking for blue tooth pairing. After pairing and setting it up I cant see any browser.
chrome is installed but cant see it any where to launch it. Can i download and install another browser?
