To continue, as seen above all the bits, and specs to make it happen
Has the Option for the IR extender, and mount holes for some sort of TV mount (x96 mini comes to mind)
Clock on the Front looking Ok not too bright.

The Eachlink H6 is running Android 7 and working ok, speed for test etc also not to bad.
When First turned on all the Segments of the display light up until into Android then Time etc.

We do not have root access, no Upper or Lower bars.

Netflix 480p L3 widevine watchable on smaller TV, and even Prime TV fired up worked out ok.
A cheap little unit at the current Gearbest Special till the 28th of this month
Would do fine for that Second TV, kids room etc.

Setup to Google account WiFi all good, and installed testers easy and fairly zippy.

Remote working pretty good for what it is..No fancy features found as yet
Media button calls up MX Player
TV button calls up YouTube 1080p
Web button calls up Chrome
App button calls up internal file browser.

On with the show and tell:

Thanks to Gearbest

hmm.. I paid.. way to much.. for my h6 pro.. it seems
35 euro... amazing with 3gb ram and 32gb of space

note:
title of post says " GB LAN" then later 100 Mbps
title of post says "android 7.1" later it says android 7
user review says " no root" app pic says "root yes"

Thoughts..
My h6 pro throttles when running "CPU throttle" app ( goverf ) could you test this?
can the mini USB port handle the power.. I'm wondering..
is the Os 32bit on a 64bit CPU ?
does Google play work.. like can you find : sentio or minecraft (as h6 pro doesn't work properly )

cheers

[trebor]

Yep typo in title fixed thanks mitchell4you

Rest as found from website, i guess may happen
Only A7 so far again may, only tested so far with ES file no Root

Finds Senito and Minecraft,




Confirm CPU throttle app ?

10 minutes


32bit reported by Antutu rest would not run


The H6 Pro is a looker, presented very well, some of the scores Higher than this but as always only a guide
But not too bad of a Bang for Buck.

trebor what do you think about thermal specification of this box? It seems that CPU is a little hot (and that means it will force lower CPU clock). As I can see CPU-Z shows ~63°C, but CPU Throttling Test showing ~89°C ( I guess that is max temp). Dimension of BOX are 9.60 x 9.60 x 1.90 cm, and that's small box, and there is not a lot of space for heat dissipation. What about support? Manufacturer is complete unknown as I can see.Is it support any firmware update app? Tnx! I made once mistake with T6 mini android box, which was one of the first Android 7.0 box, and it never solved problems with firmware, cpu heat etc. Tnx in advance!

[trebor]

Thermal is a little warm as noted, the unit has plenty of vents, most Other Android boxes and heat can be a problem confined space etc
Small fan Underneath to improve circulation, would help.
Plenty of Ideas to be found on FT and Modding Boxes.

Support at this stage is unknown, and not many if any Devs work on H6 Allwinner,

Cheap enuff at present working ok time will tell,

Have been advised it will be getting an update soon, to 7.1, so appears to be some support about
Good for that spare TV and on special till end of week at gearbest

[kolinsb]

trebor can you confirm that this box has OTA update?

[trebor]

At this stage I can't, just advised it will be getting an updates
Being A7 possible when it gets it first update, OTA options maybe available which can often happen..

My Build Number

[mitchell4you]

My Build Number
petrel_fvd-p1-eng 7.0 nrd91n 20181025 test-keys

same testkeys as beelink gs1 and zidoo h6 pro
however the kernel version is different on all units

sad to hear.. that eachlink has issues..
perhaps..you could try "check rj45 port for bent metal" or "check error msgs using catlog " or "factory reset" or "reflash firmware" (if available )

PS..
I did a cool mod on my unit... with fan testing : it throttles at 50c with gov performents (anyway it got fixed )

cheers

This is one of my favorite boxes so far. This box could use an update though. I ended up relocating the internal antenna to get better speedtest results. The speed test results still fluctuate quite a bit. I may install an external antenna mod and see how that works.

Pros
Antutu as high as 57000 no overclocking
Price
3/32GB
Super Fast
Everything works so far
No freezing
No video playback issues
Rooted

Cons
Antutu as low as 37000
Screen density is 213dpi by default vs standard 240
No navigation bar
No status bar
Single band wifi
Unstable WiFi unless you relocate the antenna
Volume is too loud
Gets hot, but nothing bad has happened while watching movies so far.
Airmouse power button doesn't wake the box back up
Cant find developer options unless you search in settings
No appinstaller app installed.
no screensaver
