X96 Air Amlogic S905X3 Android 9.0 Media Player

[nextman]

Hi all,

the last few weeks I have been playing around with my X96Air P2 (4/64GB 1000Lan), and I think I have found the best Android TV firmware so far:
It is on 4PDA and is a port from a SlimBox with all the added stuff one might need: root, Sound enhancer, Refresh rate switcher, Smart YouTube, etc. etc.

It can be found here: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?show...#entry94413550

Or the direct link here: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?show...ost&p=93085504 (I think this is the direct link..)

Even my Dutch (NLziet & Ziggo Go) runs smooth here in Spain now!

And as an extra: I have one of these W1 Wechip Air Mouse / keyboard devices, but the Back function never worked.
I found it was because the Bx expects a "Back" code, but the Air Mouse sends an "Escape" code.

I used this "Key Mapper" app the on-the-fly translate the escape to a Back code, and that wrks super duper!
It can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/and...8#post81959971

Un saludo from Spain,

How did you flash this? Also, how did you know which version is P2? I can't understand the Russian so it's hard to find the right download.

Have you had any issue with the WiFi with this?

Thanks

I don't use WiFi so I can't comment on that but the firmware from 4pda is solid. This box is the cheapest s905x3 available in the UK - £30 on **** for the 4/64 version so its worth it for me because I bought them just for iptv. It handles 4k video which is all I need.

Hi.. I saw this video..

If you say that this box is trash, what would you suggest instead?

[kenduvernay]

Partially agree:

the box is sold with a crippled Android Mobile version installed, but by now there are several real Android TV versions available that greatly improve the overall performance and experience.

Yeah right, I've tested those ATV firmwares on that box and it's still trash. No worries, Luck with it.

Hello.

I've bought this box a couple of days ago and now the wifi is not working at all.

Some of the times it doesn't turn on at all and some other times It doesn't find any networks while my other devices do.

I had performed factory resets multiple times with out any success.

Fortunately the seller will refund me but since the box is still functional, I was thinking that maybe I could use an external Wi-Fi USB adapter. Anybody has tested any adapter successfully? I've tested two older devices and none of them worked.

Any ideas? Thanks

I've tested all those cheap S905x3 boxes.They're trash. The only one worth buying is A95X F3 Air

That box is trash to start with. Don't bother with a WiFi dongle. If your seller will let you return, do it.

Hi, I've read on the 4pda (russian) forum that loosing the WiFi probably is caused by putting something in one of the usb ports and pressing a bit too hard.

It seems that one of the usb connectors inside the box is almost touching the WiFi chip, and pressing too hard on this connector can cause the WiFi chip to loose some of the contacts with the PCB.....

I'm not sure if there is a WiFi dongle that works.
