X96 Air Amlogic S905X3 Android 9.0 Media Player

[bluesmanuk]

I bought my X96Air quite early after its release as a 4GB, 64GB, bluetooth and Gigabit Lan and it turned to be a P2

Thanks.

Hello everyone. Need some help. I have X96 Air 4/64GB P4 version and when I connect to wi-fi it restarts itself. Some kind of bootloop, but it boot completely and works fine until I hook to wi-fi network. Then just restarts itself. I flashed custom ROM but situation is the same. Any suggestions? Thanks.

If it has happened with 2 different firmwares then it may well be a power supply issue.

I tried other power adapter (which work on other X96 air) and no luck.

Hi,
i had a similar problem with my 3rd unit of x96 air.
it was reseting shortly after booting up to homescreen.
i left it on for 30minutes or so and it stayed running for some time.
anyway, i got a free new boxt from geekbuying.com.

I tried to fix the broken one, got it open, found 1 loose antena cable, taped it back.
there is just some type of conductive rubber pressed against the CPU and a metal plate at the bottom cover.
it looked to me that it is bit off the proper position - it was touching the PCB. so i removed the rubber and the plate as well.
to prevent overheating i drilled few holes into top and bottom plastic cover.

box is running smoothly now with slimbox v5.1 AOSP.
temperature of cpu is about 5-8 °C higher then on untouched box.
it is P3 4GB/32GB.

try to sort it with your supplier, you may get a new box.
if not , just try to do what I did, it will not be worse then before.

Thank you very much. I will try. I have two boxes from Geekbuying with same problem. One 4/64GB P4, other 4/32 P3. I opened ticket but still no answer from Geekbuying after 3 days (which is a bit strange, they always answer me in 24h hours). Hope they will send new one or refund. I will try your suggestion anyway. Thanks.

one more thing, the broken box was ordered from german warehouse,
the replacement came from spain.
they never asked to send back the broken one, so i decided to give it a try with self repair.

you are welcome.

I have problem with wifi on my second x96 air p2 unit. When I press to enable wifi the wifi turns off after few seconds on it's own. Can't show me any wifi networks, it only turns off wifi. Any ideas how to fix it?
This is untouched and stock unit, the wifi on it just stopped working. Factory reset did not helped.
The other unit that I have is working normally on slimbox 5.1.

edit: mac adress for wifi is 02:00:00:00. Is my wifi chip dead?

Just to confirm that problem with both of my boxes was loosed wi-fi antena. Opened box, taped it back and TV box works perfectly. So, if anyone have problem that TV box restarts when hooks on wi-fi network, this is solution.
One more thanks to Miro.

After some days without power on the unit now the wifi suddenly works!!! And right away it shows that there is OTA update that will fix google play store. After the update the wifi don't work again and the mac adress is back to 02:00:00:00:00:00. LOL
