Today we’re taking a look at the XIAOMI 4K TV Box International Version. Latter this year, XIAOMI has switched up its TV Box product lines and ditched the All-Chinese models in favor of the International. Why go International? You may ask. Well, first off, its a heck of more applicable worldwide, but its also an affordable 4K HDR streamer without compromise in most aspects…..
Design
Continuing on its minimalist tradition, the mi box is characterized by streamlined design and a matte black surface, which is quite entertaining to our eyes. The images portray something exactly similar to the current MIUI-powered Mi Box, but we shouldn’t let appearances fool us. There’s plenty of improvements to be excited about.
kernel
Running on Android 6.0, the Mi Box is powered by a Quad-core 2GHz ARM processor from Amlogic, one of the most respected SoC designers in the world. Teamed up with a Mali 450 GPU, the box renders unimaginable performance in 4K ultra HD contents streaming from Kodi, Netflix and YouTube. Besides, the box is able to handle 7.1 surround sound, so it is doomed to be a fairly capable media streamer if nothing else.
Interface
Simple as it is, all the available interfaces are collectively placed at the back including 1 Audio, 1 USB, 1 HDMI, 1 DC IN jack, plus a LED indicator at the back. Wi-Fi includes the 5GHz band for quick video streaming, HDMI is of the latest 2.0a standard.
Remote
Noticeably, instead of being cluttered with buttons, the 2*AAA batteries powered mi remote is pared down to the minimum, containing Direction pad(up/down,left/right, confirm), On/off, Home, Return, Speaker, Volume+/- together with a microphone for voice search.
Dimensions & Weight
Slim and light, the quarter-inch thick mi box is roughly around .3.9*3.9inches in size, 6.05oz in weight. This associates us with the slang – the best things come in small packages.
What to be expected in the package
1* Mi box
1* Remote
1* Adapter
1* HDMI cable
1* Manual
You missed some very significant facts.....This box supports official AndroidTV. It is the ONLY MiBox with this advanced software which natively supports dozens of languages.
This box has the exact same physical appearance as 6 different Xiaomi devices and mere pictures do not allow you to distinguish one from the other.
For clarity, could you use the actual Xiaomi model number for this device? MDZ-xx-yy
Yes it does support the official AndroidTV and this device is different from the one released in USA. Please do not mix it. For appearance, there is not much to talk about , and I am not allowed to post photos at present.

Havent heard anything about android nougat available for mi box yet.
The early roll-out has begun to the users that was part of the beta testing. There is a discussion on reddit about it. One thread says that it should roll-out for the general public in April. That must be confirmed thought.

Hello XDA'ers! My roomate just acquired a wonderful TF300! Its been updated to the latest 4.1.1.xxx. I've researched how to downgrade, unlock, root, upgrade and keep root. But..is there currently any way possible to have full HDMI output or mirroring from this device, regardless of the app(s) being used?
Frankly, he's pissed, but I get it. Hulu doesn't even want to play nice on a rooted device, let alone do full HDMI out. Why? Basically you get cable, without the commercials, on your big screen tv. Project Free TV is not an ideal option for him due to lack of an intuitive interface.
Thanks in advance!
PS, would one of those paid apps in the Google Play Store solve this problem, for say, watching Hulu?
EDIT:
The only reason he's considering root is hdmi mirroring.

No offense but I'm a little disappointed with its performance out of the box. The browser froze like 8 times, switching around apps was very sluggish. My gnex was much faster doing the same things. I bet it would soar unlocked with a good rom...
only for movies
AFAIK over HDMI you will get the resolution of your device at best (1280x800/720-bar) when you mirror over HDMI. Movies (that blank the TF300T screen) can be -provided source material is full hd- shown on external monitor/TV in full HD.
I don't know of a way to force upscaling the output to 1080p otherwise.
I'm also interested on an 300TG. In the settings is an option (HDMI) if the hdmi cable plugged in. Here is a choice between "Ausschnittmodus" and "Skalierungsmodus" (german Language). If i try the first one so i have a full screen, but the "taskbar" is missing. If i choose the second i have no full screen but the the bar appears.
I get mirroring when i play videos from YouTube and NETFLIX. Haven't really tried HULU+ cos i have Netflix instead.
Bump.
I've also noticed that in either of the hdmi output modes it's not quite right. Any suggestions for improving the output?

From the updated Anandtech N4 review:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6440/google-nexus-4-review/4
"...at present there really aren’t any Miracast standardized receivers. I tried a Netgear model which was pre-certification but couldn’t get the Nexus 4 to attach, although I’m told Netgear will update the NTV300SL to support Miracast by mid-December. I’d expect that the rest of their lineup will be ready around then.
"Until we have Miracast sinks everywhere there’s really no way for me to test how this works on the Nexus 4. The Nexus 10 doesn’t include Miracast support, I’m guessing because of memory bandwidth reasons possibly involved in scaling and encoding 2560x1600."
As far as I know, only Netgear PTV3000 is pre-certified. Has anyone tried with that?

Correct
No Miracast in N7 3G (or plain N7) either:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/11/googles-nexus-7-gets-a-fresh-coat-of-paint-for-the-holidays/
"Android 4.2 on the Nexus 7 has no major surprises: all of the features we mentioned in our review are here, with the exception of Miracast (which is only supported on the Nexus 4 for the time being) and the new camera features (which are present if you install a third-party camera launcher for the front-facing camera). Multiuser support and lock screen widgets, two features that weren't ready in time for our main review, are also here, but we'll be examining them more closely in a separate article."
Miracast will be available after the update. Which happen last night. Now all you need is a receiver to do the handshaking. The netgear one would do and after it is on you wireless network you would just stream to it like you would a windows media extender. By 2013, so early next year tvs once they start calling them smart tvs :cyclops: will have this feature built into it. Here we come google tv. wouldnt that be sweet to have a nexus 60 inch tv?? or bigger.
n4, n7, n10, ntv, n60 maybe?? i see it happening.
Just to be clear to any readers out there, whether or not there will be Miracast support for the Nexus 10 is unknown and anyone stating otherwise is speculating. What is known is that there will be Miracast for the Nexus 4, but no official reports from google have come out for the Nexus 10.
The hardware support for wireless display looks to be there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34038283&postcount=19
Copied from Exynos 5250 thread -
"Came across this while researching Exynos 5250. Looks like the hardware is very capable to handle the WQXGA resolution with memory bandwidth and power to spare. This white paper also mentions the support for 1080p 60fps wireless display. So I hope Miracast will be reality as well, just Google needs to step up and utilize the hardware to its full potential. Its an interesting read none the less..
Sorry, can not post links yet.. replace _ with . and then try.

If the link does not work, google exynos 5 dual white paper."
Here's another piece of evidence to support that it's coming to the Nexus 10 (found this from another forum). On Google's Nexus 10 Support page it mentions Miracast. Scroll down to the Wifi-Direct section:

I phoned Google Tech Support this morning and asked if the Nexus 10 would have Miracast functionality "out of the box".
Tech guy couldn't answer for sure and promised to respond back to me later via email.
5 hours later, amazingly (to me anyway), I received an email back from him stating that he got clarification on this question and that, yes, Miracast is good to go "out of the box" on the Nexus 10.
I still won't believe it until someone with a unit confirms it.
Miracast is basically just a superset of WiFi Direct, doesn't require any additional hardware on the broadcast device...if it can use WiFi Direct, it can do Miracast with the proper software.
So I'm not worried about it being on the N10, if the software isn't there just yet, it will come.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracast
Yeah, I had called them and asked them too. He had no idea what Miracast was and so I explained it to him. He said he'll have to ask his supervisors and put me on hold. He came back and said "Yeah, you can stream and watch movies on your tv from your tablet and stuff." I said, "Yeah, but specifically Miracast...Does the Nexus 10 support Miracast?" He then said that's more of a hardware question and I'd need to call Asus. Asus huh? Interesting. Are they taking Samsung support calls now. I just ended it there knowing I wasn't going to get anywhere.

My understanding is that while the capability might be there if Wifi-Direct is there, it still doesn't mean that it will be Miracast certified and thus might not be supported by Android.

FWIW, I have a Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean 4.1.1, which supports Wi-Fi Direct. I also have a Netgear PTV3000 WiDi/Miracast capable adapter. My phone sees the adapter, but there is no mirroring to a display.

No, just sharing that a WiDi/Miracast capable adapter recognized a Wi-Fi Direct device, a substantiation of Croak's earlier post.
I'm now of the belief that the reason we haven't heard something official from Google is because the Nexus 10 has been submitted for Miracast Certification but is still under review. Makes complete sense. They can't say it supports Miracast until it passes Miracast Certification. They don't want to say it doesn't because they think they'll ultimately get the certification. So for now they just stay silent. Whereas the Nexus 4 has already completed Miracast Certification so that one they could officially announce. Perhaps the same reason they've been silent on the Nexus 7, which being that it has a Tegra 3 in it and Nvidia says Tegra 3's have built in support for Miracast and are working towards certification, should mean that theoretically it is capable.

That actually makes a ton of sense. I also read somewhere that Netgear is working on updating the software on its PushTV3000 to support the Nexus devices that have Wifi Direct/Miracast. They hope to have that done by next week, apparently.
1. Better SOC: Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890
2. 64 GB base storage
3. microSD slot
4. Better camera with f/1.7
5. 3500 mAh battery
6. IP 68
7. USB-C
8. Iris scanner
9. Better S-pen with 4096 pressure levels
10. Gorilla Glass 5
11. LTE Cat 9
12. Dual edge screen ( if you prefer that)
Have I missed anything?
Overall it seems a solid but not spectacular upgrade.

I highly suspect you are trolling about this issue, but neither the Note5 or the Note7 have IR blasters,
and guys... for those of you crying about IR blaster... I know it sucks, but do yourself a favor and just get a harmony hub. it gives you an app that talkes to a wifi IR blaster that can control all your tv / receivers / etc.. and it works with ANY phone or tablet you have lying around. I know it sucks that it isn't built in any more, but its not going to change at this point. If you are one of the few percentage that took advantage of the blaster, just get the harmony hub and call it a day.

Sure thing,
The Harmony hub is a little black device that sits on your tv stand or in your media cabinet. It is a wifi enable device that also has an IR blaster. When you install the harmony app on your phone or tablet, it talks to the harmony hub over wifi. When you want to send a command to your TV or receiver or otherwise, you use the app which sends a message over the wifi connection to the harmony hub which in turn uses its IR blaster to send the command to your TV / audio system / game console.
The harmony hub has an extensive compatibility list supporting almost every device that can be controlled with a remote. The fact that it works over wifi means that you can use pretty much any phone or tablet at all as a remote.

Thanks. Looks like this is a good alternative.
Only two things left to worry about now. ..
- Lack of removable battery. .. (I am almost always rotating batteries on my Note Edge)
- functionality of the Edge. I like the way the edge works on the note Edge. Ie it's a genuinely independent screen and is one icon thick so doesn't detract from main screen.
What about the DAC?
Is this better than the Note 5?
Is it the same one as they put in the S7 Edge?

The US version will have the standard integrated Snapdragon DAC, which is okay, quality wise, while the international (incl.Canada) version running Samsung's own Exynos SoC, will have a Lucky CS47L91 Sound DAC, which is speculated to be a Wolfson with a new name since Wolfson got picked up by a company some time ago, and the Lucky chip has the same model ID as the old Wolfson.

Yeah, the list of improvements is really big! However, there is one downgrade that bothers me a lot: the external speaker audio quality.
It so high pitched and lacks bass. Note 5 sound is waaaay better and louder.

I used to park in fast food places parking lots and turn off their menu/TV's from the car. Can't do that with this hub you speak of. I also turned off the TV at a restaurant because the servers decided a game was more important than their customers waiting on food/drinks. I'm a ****, I know but I am a merciful **** at times.

There are hdmi related lines in buildprop but im sure the device doesnt support it.
The OnePlus 5 sadly does not support it, it only has USB2.0 and iirc somewhere in the spec sheet on the OnePlus website it's also stated it won't work

Neither of them even pass through current, which is really really bad, i'm livid as I sometimes play games in work on my monitor when it's really quiet.
So so so bad on Oneplus' part here, this is the first big problem i've had, means you can't stream low latency to your TV using a cable? Wtf would you remove that feature?
Woeful behaviour.
PS: If anyone thinks that wireless streaming is on par with a direct line to your phone for the likes of gaming or even watching movies, you're wrong.

Ok we could use the chromecast which for video is just about ok, but for perfect lip sync and gaming? Forget about it, it's a sub par peripheral which just can't cut it.
I just so happen to have a display link adapter in work so i'll be testing this on Monday. Personally I can't see it but will try.

OK some bad news.
Just tried my Anker https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/USB-Hubs...d=1499598741&sr=8-2&keywords=anker+usb-c+hdmi
And my Apple USB-C to HDMI https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/50t/Appl...499598762&sr=8-3&keywords=apple+usb-c+to+hdmi
Neither of them even pass through current, which is really really bad, i'm livid as I sometimes play games in work on my monitor when it's really quiet.
So so so bad on Oneplus' part here, this is the first big problem i've had, means you can't stream low latency to your TV using a cable? Wtf would you remove that feature?
Woeful behaviour.
PS: If anyone thinks that wireless streaming is on par with a direct line to your phone for the likes of gaming or even watching movies, you're wrong.
Annoyed the hell out of me that has.

Would this suggest that it can be modified, USB-C is USB-C? Could this be enabled do you think? Hate it when features are removed for no good reason

Ok so just added this line to the buildpro in /system
com.qc.hdmi_out=true
This actually allows the power to pass through but does nothing for output, both adapters now allow juice to pass through, i'll keep digging, there must be a way to allow this.

I tried as well on my adapter for my chromebook.. No dice. It's not being recognized. My Chromecast works fantastic though. ??

For streaming it'll be fine..but for any kind of gaming you'll need to have TV out via a cable..60hz 1080p, completely abysmal that it's been left out.

What sort of gaming like that are you doing from your phone? Emulators?

Predominantly emulators yes, bare in mind what this phone is capable of.
Zelda the Windwaker - Gamecube: 100% speed 30fps as it was on the gamecube, a lot of other gamecube games work as expected too.
Megal Gear on the PSP, again 100% speed, 20fps as it was on the PSP, the vast majority of games work as expected on the one plus.
Bare in mind that this is the first phone (amongst other snap dragon 835 devices) which has been able to accomplish this and for a sense of irony it's the first phone i've owned in many years and i've had a lot which has been incapable of a wired TV out function?
I also run some PC games whilst in work, quake 3, Doom 3, Return to castle wolfenstein, all of which can be used with a keyboard and mouse which connects up perfectly on my HTC 10 via an Anker USB-C hub (which was £40, high grade and now useless!)
All Oneplus has done is followed Googles example by not allowing a TV out connection via a cable, it simply shows how out of touch these companies are with their users, yes sure there aren't a lot of gamers, but if you consider that One plus was spawned by a minority of developers who modded their phones anyway, this for me isn't progressive at all, it's a step back and honestly inexcusable in my eyes.
I'll get by, it's not the end of the world, I just don't understand the removal of a feature like this, it's on board, it has the capability, cost would be nothing? So there is no reason for it and little no to excuse.
PS: I'm also a PC gamer and have been for a long time, I play competitively and it's a similar situation, I have a 225mb connection which is completely stable 24/7 via a LAN cable, sure i could use wireless but I would lose latency and have more packet loss if i did and when you consider that I've paid for high end kit to shave off milliseconds losing all that by using wifi would make no sense, it would mean the difference between losing and winning.
Using a chrome cast for casual gaming like candy crush or puzzlers could possibly be doable, however anything that requires any kind of quick reaction is going to fail as the input lag is so severe, also when streaming to a second device you may incur lip sync issues, something that does not happen using a wired connection.
Obviously worlds apart from PC gaming but the principle is the same.
Do you think it would work with a displaylink to hdmi adapter?

With the screen out of the question I went and bought an Ipega telescopic pad. Which essentially turns the OnePlus into a psp, runs everything beautifully, GameCube, psp, psx, neogeo, SNES, the lot. All perfect..really don't need a screen now tbh. Check them out, only 20 quid.

i backed the superbook on kickstarter and would be really sad if it will not work with the op5
i am nearly shure that displaylink will work.
it has nothing todo with MHL/HDMI. it just need OTG and our op5 support OTG (can connect my usb-stick without problem)

Can anyone confirm that the LeEco Super4 x55 TV indeed has BLE support enabled? LeEco showed (on the box) that it supported bluetooth 4.1; however, I can not for my life get any BLE device to connect to the TV or vice-versa. Regular Bluetooth Classic seems to work fine but I cannot get BLE to work. What am I missing? Is there a way to enable it since the TV is suppose to support it?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Bump. Anyone? I sure would appreciate any insight.
Wow. Not a single response. Fantastic bunch here.
Ok, I am saddened that not a single person is willing to try and help or offer any feedback. Not a great experience for a new person.
It could just be that nobody actually bought this TV...

For the record, I did buy this TV. However I can't offer any actual information regarding your question. There is absolutely no support for this tv anywhere.

Fair enough. Thank you for your response. I do appreciate it.
I haven't had an issue with any of my bluetooth devices, but, I don't know what version of Bluetooth they are using. I will say that if you're using it for headphones the audio lag is pretty bad.
