Some have the problem according to which there is no sound output with Bluetooth audio devices and videos in apps like YouTube e Netflix. Unlike the other simpler solutions, the Bluetooth problem has one a little more complicated solution, although it is the only one that seems to work.

1. From Aptoide, install "Checker for A2DP" (Aptoide is an alternative store to Google Play);

2. Pair the bloetooth device as usual;

3. Open "Check for A2DP", accept all conditions etc., and press "Check Bluetooth A2DP";

4. In addition to "Selectable codec:" there will be a list of supported codes. In the case of the user there are SBC and AAC. Select the one that was not previously selected (in the case of the user it is switched to SBC);

5. A “Switch A2DP codec to SBC?” Popup will appear. Press Yes;

6. Go back to the list of Bluetooth devices, in “Remote control and accessories”, select the device. De-couple;

7. The device will attempt to reconnect (usually it does not do so if you don't change the codec), accept the reconnection. If not prompted, scan again and pair again;

8. Now the Bluetooth should work, if not, repeat the procedure.

Hi, I have a problem that I believe many have. I have a MiBox (mdz-22-ab) and there is no way to turn off the device, it just goes to stand by ... you know by chance how to solve it since there is no way to get root permissions and install application like "Shutdown"? thanks a lot

No Gianluca unfortunately by holding down the power button nothing happens, I just check the window where to choose or restart or screenshot. I honestly don't really understand the usefulness of the screenshot in that menu
