This does not resolve weather/Null problem

Hi!

I just got this device and have a problem with SSD. It is formatted as NTFS. To android it presented as USB drive and SD card (?!)
When I try to use it with ES File Explorer as USB device it ejects SD card and I can only see USB drive but as read only device. It doesn't ask me for any permissions.
It have latest firmware 201901091011.
With Total Commander app it works as USB drive without any problems.

I need this SSD to be accessed over LAN for transferring larger files (over 4GB).

Anyone else have problem like this or have solution?

I had some issues with my HDD (1to) when i pluged it for the fist time (Genesys USB error message, sometimes, HDD disapeared ...) After flashing the firmware with burning tool and formating my HDD as external, all works fine

Robert, does your K400 keyboard work properly on it, or does it improperly insert the letter 'q' when you hit the enter key (say in the browser or a search field in a streaming app)? My experience with a few of these S905x2 TV boxes is that's the case and so I have to resort to keyboard remapping. Thanks.

I'm not Robert, but if it can help, I don't have this issue with K400 plus

Need to edit keyboard config and change line 28 to say "Enter"
This is found under System or Vendor generic.kl

My came with this firmware out of the box. Tried factory reset and no luck. Still have a lot of small problems and big one regarding SSD.

I have almost all of that symptoms that you described. I was preparing to do that but then find out that I don know where reset button is on this device
Does any have picture where reset button is?

[trebor]

Don't need reset button

Use USB next to HDMI port...
Copy small file (sercure_boot_set) to a folder licence in burning tool dir

Load firmware click start plugin usb...it detects and starts


Weather issue has be reported hope for fix soon, think it's to do with google and they have changed the API for weather

[ffroms]

Thank you for reply.
Do I have to put device in recovery mode or turn it off (or something else). Is it enough just to connect USB to USB and power supply?

[trebor]

As written...
Run the burning tool
load firmware
click start
plug in usb......burning starts

No reset, no recovery no power supply needed here
it will wipe all data start fresh

[ffroms]

Great. Thank you again. I'll try that as soon as I get home from work

[ffroms]

Flashed and it is same as before. Maybe a little better.
There is something wrong with this ROM and USB3.
Hope they'll fix it.

BTW, couldn't flash it without reset button.

Can anyone pls try any 4k mkv 59.xx demo file and let me know if it works for you without stutter? Thanks

I fancy this box, though bit high in price.

There is also a 2/32Gb version available, which of course is cheaper.

Has anyone tried a 2Gb RAM version on the S905X2 soc, either on this or another box, and how did it respond?

Is it fast enough for this soc?

New update is out. Weather icon is no more. Haven't noticed any other improvements.
Still same problems with USB3.0 and slow writing speed.

[trebor]

Can't fix it delete by the looks

So far so good, all back together and the usual easy startup as seen with most AMlogic 905X2,,,
Running Android 8.1 has it own UI Launcher as will see later
Root switch, and I see Upper and Lower Bars
An OTA update as I just switched on so lets see what that can do

Nothing Obvious yet found in OTA just fixes and Optimisation so who knows.
Weather fails to work with location etc.
Bench testing about the same as other 905X2 to date,
Fast Ram read and right
Wifi and Ethernet appear all good here,
Remote working fairly well,
Clock display not to in you face.
Temps not to bad and working ok With Logitech K400 Plus.

Let's have a look at what it has to offer.[/B]

Can this launcher be installed on the A95X Max box?

[trebor]

If you can Find the APK you could try, beware anything could go wrong...

New update broke default launcher. Moving from small tiles to big tiles there is a glitch in transformation (a brief grey screen appears)
