Ohh,about the screen size... Set it to 100% and switch back and forth between (let's say)720 and 1080.

Before you do that check your TV's "screen size" settings.It might be set to zoom, panoramic zoom,etc(exact name is dependent on the TV model).

You want the MboxLauncher(that's how it's called) .apk?!

I could upload the version I have on 105L03 if you want but I seriously doubt it will install.

This is a must do mod, I have the parts on the way as well. I tried to find the U.FL/IPX end to put on the board, but will just solder the cable on, I won't be in there much, might drill some air vent holes.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cattolicboy:
You can find the U.FL/IPX here, if you want to do a proper and fine job.

Looking forward for your modification, please keep us updated.

ps: if you look at my pics, you will see I've also attached a small copper plate on the back of the ram modules (bottom of the box) where the heat was more present.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] dabangsta:
I saw that, I was going to ask how thick of one I could use, .3mm, .5mm, .8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, or other? I would also like to use one on the top and have it possibly bridge with the large metal plate, both the SoC and the RAM on top. I am trying to find out if that spongy thing between the SoC and metal plate is a better heat conductor than replacing it with a copper heat sink on each item. That would probably solve the internal antenna problem as well. I live in a high ambient temp area and don't always keep the house cool, so anything I can do to help with heat I try to do.

This thing has become a DiY project with the hope that in the end it will be a great end user device for non technical people. I almost want to replace my ChromeBox with one.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cattolicboy:
I'm not sure, but I think I have used a .5mm plate. This should be the limit, otherwise you risk not to close the plastic cover of the box.

I think the "spongy thing" with the contact of the metal plate is enough for dissipating properly the heat. Try to point your efforts over the ram because it's them that get really hot. Also, add 4 rubber feet at the bottom of the case.

ps: you will see, with the external antenna, your connection will finally take the flight!

Wi-Fi issue with my Mini M8S

Hello, I have a problem with my Mini M8S.

Lately, I find out that I can’t connect to my Wi-Fi network. I tried, and tried to put the password, and always says it’s wrong. I tried to change the WLAN Password from the router, and it didn’t work.

I don’t think the Wi-Fi antenna is damaged, because I do detect the Networks in my area.

I found out that sometimes WI-Fi selector is set in OFF position in the settings. I can use the mini M8S wired to the router, but I prefer to use the Wireless conection.

Any one can help????

Thanks in advance

hi, my internetspeed is 75/7,5mbit/s. On my m8s i have this version -> 106L04

The problem is that i only have dl ~3-7mb/s and ul ~8mb/s on the box. how can the ul speed be higher than the dl speed? should i install the 104L03 with wifi fix or is the fix in my version.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] vaskag:
Hello. I also have mini m8s with firmware 106L04. I think it has the wifi problem. Can I apply the 104L3 wifi fix? It will downgrade it and again upgrade to 106?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] dabangsta:
For me, the wifi speed issue seems two fold. As delivered with 106L03 (I didn't get one with 106L04), no matter how I oriented the box in relationship with my router, wifi was very slow and inconsistent.

In downgraded to 104L03 with the wifi patch, and finally, depending on orientation with router, I could get sufficient speeds. I am next going to install an external antenna, I ordered a few because I also ordered an M8S II which has the same hunk of metal at the top and internal antenna.

OTA I have only been upgraded to 105L03 from 104L03.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] geo2002:
Can you please put a link to the 104l03 firmware for this box ? Thank you.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Dany21000:
The 004 build of libreelec work fine.

I like it.

No nfs client problem in kodi under android. No android lagging... No bad launcher, kodi directly.

Because it's native Linux the boot time is really short (i use an old sd, maybe class 4).

I will try to install libreelec directly to the nand this weekend.

Sound more than 2.0 doesn't work for now,this will be corrected in some days.

But in pass-through mode no problem (useful when you use an avr).

Problems with External HD

HI!

My Mini M8S works fine with streaming contents, but recently I tried to connect an External HD to the TV Box, and every time I try to play any move, the Mini M8S hangs completely, so I have to unplug the device to restart it….

Any clue of whats is happening? :confused:

wifi

crni6.....did you hear if "underworldgamer" figured out his wifi issue? I'm wondering if the placement of the wifi wire could be near the motherboard. i have seen the fix for that on the m8 (large box). simply moving the wifi wire and end makes an improvement. :cool:

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] TopperBG:
Sure, not completely (what is full resolve? ) but here it's double my receive speed. Enough to watch HD.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cattolicboy:
Ok, good for you if you are happy with that.

Maybe you will improve the speed, but the weak range capacity will remain. It will work fine only close to the modem.

"What si full resolve?" Of course to do the antenna mod, like I did.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] TopperBG:
I agree, but not everyone can do that, don't they?
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] cattolicboy:
Yes of course, but in my case I have decided that was better to spend 8 euro to do the mod rather than buying a new box.
