No, I have not experienced the Google Play has stopped on my KIII. However, I cannot navigate the Google Play store using the provided KIII remote control buttons. I have to use an external USB wireless keyboard with touchpad or air-mouse in order to move around and select things. That's the only issue I have with that. I have not tried downloading many apps using the play store though so I don't know if it might one day stop on me also.

I run Plex, Kodi 16.0, Amazon Prime Video, SiriusXM Radio apps on mine just fine. Some of the apps require the use of the external USB keyboard to navigate. So having a USB keyboard with touch-pad or air-mouse is a requirement for some apps.

BTW, my KIII seems to be rooted already out of the box as provided. I don't know if all KIII's come rooted or not but figure its worth mentioning it.

I am disappointed that the performance on the 5GHz network is very poor. Speedtest only achieved 3 to 4 Mbps compared to 33 Mbps on the 24GHz network, the same speed as via ethernet and on my PC on the same 5GHz network, essentially my ISP subscription speed. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

If you are looking for a TWRP recovery for KIII, try Abdul's TWRP 3.0.2 http://www.freak-tab.de/abdul_pt/aml/TW3_KIII_.img.

Today I decided to replace the original factory recovery on my KIII. What I did was:

1. Copy the recovery file to the root directory of a PC formatted FAT32 uSD card, at least 16GB so it can hold a full nandroid backup.

2. Rename it to recovery.img and it must be in the root directory. The card may contain other folders and files.

3. Hold the reset button using a paper clip thru a tiny hole at the bottom of the device then plug the power in.

4. Wait until the S905 logo appears before releasing the reset.

5. Within several seconds, you should see the TWRP 3.0.2.

6. You can use it to wipe or flash from the external SDcard while preserving the original recovery, or replace the factory recovery with TWRP's recovery.img file.

I had successfully performed full nandroid backup with this TWRP and I can confirm that the restore function works. Next step to test is to do a wipe and perform a clean install.

Try creating a bootable microSD card using the Amlogic BootcardMaker http://chinagadgetsreviews.com/how-...-bootable-magic-micro-sd-card-in-minutes.html and flash the firmware with it.

Look Inside!

I don't know if anyone has opened theirs up and looked inside and found what I have but when I did I found only 1 of the 2 antennas hooked up, or with a cable for that matter.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] blinkone:
Yes all theses KIII box's have only one antenna wired up & working its a real shame It seems the other is just there for looks.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kraka:
Probably they initially designed it to use a WiFi chip that supports dual antenna, but then decided to go with a cheaper chip and put a dummy antenna since the plastic case mold has already been released, to beat time-to-market deadline.

One of the reasons I bought KIII was the dual band 802.11ac WiFi, but alas I got only 4 Mbps out of the 5GHz band! The box was practically next to my router, so it's not an antenna issue. I hope there'll be a firmware fix soon. Anyone else got the same issue?

USB HDD

Hello!

I use KIII tv box as a torrentbox with ttorrent app.

Also have the servers ultimate app running with a ddns update and local network ftp servers.

Problem is that the usb hdd i attached is getting unmounted after a day...

Is has no seperate power suply cable, only connetsc to the box's usb port with a data cable.

Is there any option to kill this automatic unmont?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] davidthecloner:
mount files from local NAS using CIFS

It would be great to be able to mount network shares to the local file system using CIFS with the KIII . It would basically give your device unlimited storage capacity while connected to your home network.

Has anybody try to mount network shares to the local file system using CIFS with the KIII??

Does the Kernel support CIFs??

Thank you in advance

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Breezy357:
I just received this box, I usually like to download torrents while watching youtube or kodi. The problem I have with this box is it closes my torrent app as soon as I leave it to go to another app.

I went into developer settings and unchecked "kill apps",but it still kills the app when I switch to another.

Is there a setting I'm missing or is this standard of the KIII tv box?

kiii : stops video playback

Hello. I also have just got a kiii box.

I met troubles. The video playback stops after few minutes. This is true for xbmc and MX player....

The firmware is a kernel version built on 2016 mars 17th.

I requested an updated version but seems not easy....

Any idea?

Regards

Hello is there someone succeed to install xbmc 16.1.

---------- Post added at 07:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------

Hello infobit.

It seems that you are using xbmc 16.1. To do it, I had to uninstall first xbmc and then install the new version. Now, but I don't know if it is the consequence or not, the video play back stops after few minutes (15 minutes). Do you meet similar problems?

Regards.

CIFS Support includded in the new acemax firmware

Hi guys,

Good news, in the new firmware update from Acemax CIfs support is includded.

Howerver it only works without the option iocharset=utf8 and then mount success but I failed to access any folder including non-western characters.

We need to wait for future upgrades includding the non-western characters option of CIFS.

Enjoy it

I just got this box and I like the fact that it is much smoother than my fire stick but is there anyway to install xposed? I am trying to run the Uverse app but since the box is "unsecure" it won't allow the stream. I figure it must be a root issue and maybe a xposed module may fix that. i tried showtime anytime as well and it says that the device cannot but used for hdmi out. Or something to that affect.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Infobits:
Hi, I have no problems with watching videos on my KIII using Kodi. Did you install Kodi or XBMC? Do you know Kodi replaced XBMC? Make sure you load a KODI app and not an old XMBC image of the app.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] kezzamcw:
Also have this problem with a vpn app i cannot switch apps without it disconnecting. (The Problem's the home button. It closes the current app when pressed and the settings seem to be there for show)

Did you find a solution ?

Found a solution (Its a bit of a pain but works)

Open desired app (VPN) and connect

Use mouse to drag down the status bar

go into setting from the status bar

Press home button from setting menu and then move onto other app (Kodi)

The first App (VPN) should still be running ?

atleast it works on my K111 box

Hi, the link for the TWRP recover image you provided does not let me download the file... instead it just trys to load the image in the browser with all binary characters and hangs up the browser. Is there another link that can be used to download the custom recovery file?

I had installed the regular TWRP app from the Google PlayStore and it offers to select what device you are on so that it can install the proper recovery but the list of devices do not include anything specific for this KIII so I don't know which recovery type (if any) I can select to load. I don't want to corrupt my device by loading an incompatible recovery using the TWRP menu's device list. anyone know which one would work with the KIII?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] :
That's an issue with your browser because it set to handle IMG files differently, like a picture image file, for example.

Either reset the action for handling the 'IMG' file type within your browser settings or paste the link into a download manager like JDownloader, etc.

Freaktab contributors don't like it when their files get mirrored (obviously ^^) so just use the existing link.

Don't use the TWRP app, you won't find it there.

It's only for officially supported devices (usually just phones and tablets).

But there are hundreds of unofficial TWRP files like this one... Just follow the instructions from Kraka.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Infobits:
Ahh okay, I used another browser (FireFox) and it downloaded the .img file. Thanks for pointing that out.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Infobits:
The TWRP recovery worked just great but only if you use a FAT32 microSD card that the KIII can recognize in recovery mode. I first tried using a new 64GB microSD exFAT format card and it would not recognize the TWRP recovery.img file when you try to boot it into recovery mode. Switching to a 16GB microSD FAT32 formatted card, worked just fine booting the TWRP recovery. From there the first thing I did was make a full backup of the stock KIII to my SD card.

Thanks!

Hi. I'm thinking of buying one of these. But I have wifi connection and its not the fastest. I'm worried the wifi strength won't be good enough. So one of the aerial is there just for cosmetic. How do you guys compare this to minix u1? I guess minix has a better community and better wifi?

Remote control lost programming

Ok, we all know the stock remote is a piece of crap. But it's the only one that I can power the box on/off with from the couch. (Well currently in my situation) But my remote stopped working. The light comes on, but nada happens. Not even with the volume which was set to work with my sound bar. So the remote itself seems to have forgotten everything. Anyone know of a way to re-pair it? I have a much better airmouse/keyboard remote to use but when I use the power button it turns the box off, but won't turn it back on. I'm guessing that it's because the USB ports are not powered when the box is powered off, but the built in receiver that the stock remote works with must still be able to receive. If I had my remote working I could just have my new remote learn the power button.

I love my box though..it's great.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kraka:
You can't turn on the box because the processor is off so it can't respond to 2.4GHz RF data from the USB dongle while the remote is in RF mode. Are you saying you can turn the box on with stock remote? Can you also turn it off? If so, try to program your airmouse with the power button of the stock remote. If the power button is the only one that works, may be the problem is in the button matrix of the remote. In any case, aside from power on/off, you should be able to exclusively use your airmouse.

Try to determine if the box's remote is emitting any IR signal at all. Point the remote's IR LED to your phone's camera. You should see blinking light on the screen since the camera is sensitive to IR. You could first try to confirm if your phone's camera picks up the airmouse's IR LED or any IR remote control that's known to work. If your stock remote isn't sending any IR signals, it could be its IR LED is burnt or bad connection/solder on the PCB. It's not likely the controller chip going dead, unless it got a huge static voltage or reverse voltage.

I programmed my airmouse red button (below the TV button) to KIII remote's power button, since the only time I turn off/on is when I want to cold reboot the box. Generally I always leave the box on. The airmouse's main power button is programmed to TV power, and all other buttons to other TV remote functions. The cursor on/off is programmed to input source selection of my TV. In IR mode, except for the red button, they control the TV functions. In RF mode, they control the KIII functions.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Legend1977:
Yes, my stock remote used to turn it off and on, all of the way. I would get the MBOX logo and it would boot up. There is no dongle for the stock remote. Either the receiver is built in or it used one of the other wireless options, such as Bluetooth. It did quit working right around the time I paired a wireless game controller to the box for playing ROMS. I'll try what you said about using my phones camera tomorrow to see if it is even sending a signal.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Kraka:
The stock remote is strictly going thru the IR link, it has no 2.4GHz RF link nor Bluetooth. Without the stock remote, you're only missing the power-on function for the box and the rest of the functions are available through the airmouse/keyboard via 2.4GHz RF link (USB dongle).

If the stock remote is emitting IR signals or your airmouse/keyboard can recognize the stock remote when programming it, then it's likely not your remote. Could it be that pairing the game controller messed up the IR fw driver of the box?

Is there any Chance for Enigma 2 firmware for Kiii ?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Z00nkor:
Finally i fixed the "cant run app in background problem" !!! Ofc ill share with you guys...

So you have to use a "explorer with root access" and delete or edit "allowbackgroundapp.list" located at "/system/etc"

I use to edit the list and add the names of apps i wanne run in the background, like "org.xbmc.kodi" , "tv.twitch.android.app" or "org.mozilla.firefox".

Actually pretty easy, hope this will help someone :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spacer89:
I'm at my wits end. I just got the MM update about 2 weeks ago And thought it was time to install a custom recovery (TWRP 3.0.0.1) which works with MM. After i installed the recovery i flashed superuser 2.68 in TWRP. Rebooted and went into titanium that caused the phone reboot.. Restarted phone several times and it would do the same thing...so I decided to flash MM stock (Odin v 3.10.7) I downloaded from Samsung and now I'm stuck in a boot loop... Its gets to the setting up the device and it sits there for about 30 seconds and reboots. When it restarts it starts where it left off..setting up...sits about 30 and reboots. It never gets to the home screen. Just reboots over and over. I've tried flashing older firmwares...wiping data.system...booting into stock recovery... Factory resets..clearing caches flashing custom ROMs in TWRP..nothing works...any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Just in case the MM Stock build that you got was a bad download, go here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911976855 Check MD5 before flashing.

Here is the link for TWRP 3.0.0.1 that works on Marshmallow - https://mega.nz/#!mNhhGJ7a!BT-K-obneqUJMf86PVj-Qa4CCu-o75oudQoEOhicuGo (Don't let Odin reboot, manually go into recovery.)

This link for SuperSU - http://download.chainfire.eu/924/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip (Flash in TWRP)

If you need further help, you can PM me and I will try to assist.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spacer89:
ok...ill try it again...why is the Stock MM build different file name than what is on samsung site G920PVPU3CPB6_G920PSPT3CPB6_G920PVPU3CPB6_HOME.tar
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
This is the build originally posted by Sunderwear, which I then mirrored on Android File Host so that it has an MD5 for verification.

I successfully used it with Odin 3.10.6 to update my phone. AFH shows 202 downloads and all have seemed to have worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spacer89:
ok...wiped...everything...factory reset ...cleared all caches...flashed MM stock in odin...let it reboot...still stuck in a bootloop...at the welcome...preparing device for first time use ...spinning then reboots after being on that screen after about 30 seconds...then back to that same screen...reboots...over and over...at the top of the screen it shows the signal bar but has 0 bars
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spacer89:
got it to finally boot to the home screen...see the attachments...baseband: uknown

still reboots after a minute or so
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
if you have issue on 6.0.1, just try the 5.1.1 latest OL1 again.

- flash 5.1.1 OL1 via odin.

- it would be stuck on logo screen if you flash from 6.0.1.

- turn off the phone, boot into stock recovery by 3 buttons.

- factory reset.

- reboot to system.

... and see if your phone works well again.

- if it works well, then your updating to 6.0.1 have some wrong steps somewhere.

- if it still reboots non-stop, i guess it's hardware's failure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Okay, it really sounds like a hardware issue at this point. I'd bring it back to Sprint.

At least I was able to help you get back to a point that you can return it.
[Shield Tablet Accessories] diji1:
Hey I'm looking for a case with a hard cover that doesn't bend - like a keyboard case or a case with a kickstand. It also MUST attach to the tablet in a way that allows the tablet to swing freely but it doesn't matter if it's via magnet or hinge.

It doesn't matter if it has a keyboard and the quality of the keyboard doesn't matter as I won't be using it.

The Zagg Folio 8" Auto-fit looks perfect - except it's WAY more than I want to pay. Can anyone please recommend any other cases that are lower priced? The feature that I need is a non-bending cover that attaches well, anything else like keyboard or looks is unimportant. Thanks!

Reason I need a non-bending cover is I want to hang the tablet so it hangs on a monitor with the cover portion laying flat on the top of the monitor so it's at eye level for use on a stationary cycle and so the monitor screen is covered. The two bendy covers that I've tried this with "collapse" and the weight of the tablet drags off the top.
[Shield Tablet Accessories] Techamazon:
I have an idea: Why not use Velcro stickers so it can hang of the top(back) of the display unit itself? It would be way cheaper if you already have something in mind and can be easily removed. And even the slimmest stickers could be left on the cover without interfering with the screen once it's closed or when held while in use.

Nice idea but it's for a machine at my gym.
