As the saying goes, after a thousand vicissitudes, the time has come for the major release for the Mi Box S, one of the Android TV most loved boxes of the brand. Whoever has one will surely know how many hitches have been encountered. Initially an update arrived which turned out to be the bearer of an infinite number of bugs; then another update came to correct but the company opted for a withdrawal and a refresh to Android 8.o Oreo; later came another update but this time too it was not the good one. But now the story seems to end since Android 9.0 Pie stable arrives on Mi Box S.
Android 9.0 Pie stable is making its debut on the Mi Box S: it was now after a whole series of problems
This time we hope that there are really no problems otherwise the brand will have to deal with a series of more than angry users who will switch to alternative TV boxes. The news comes to us from Piunikaweb which signals the arrival of Android 9.0 Pie stable on some devices that last received the third beta.
With the number of build 2604 this update also weighs 654 MB like the beta ones that were supposed to bring Android 9.0 Pie earlier. Below for convenience we put the translated changelog:
- system update to Android 9.0;
- fixed the problem with broken Chromecast;
- fixed the issue with blocking playback in some apps;
- fixed the H264 decoding error (attention, in some cases it seems that this problem has not been solved at all);
- solved the problem with Bluetooth audio not syncing with video;
- solved the HDMI compatibility problem;
- solved pop sound when STB is in standby mode;
- solved the problem with Gboard not working when connecting an external keyboard.
In short, according to what the official changelog says i major problems should all have been solved. Reading carefully the comments on Reddit (find the link in via) we note with regret that although most users are not experiencing problems, another part continues to trouble. Particularly the H264 decoding error is still present after the update. What many are experiencing is a problem with HDMI-CEC or that allows you to control the functionality of all connected devices with a single remote control.
In general, only these are the problems that have been seen since the update. Let us know if you have also received it and if you have noticed any improvements.
