Skyworth Binge Android TV box

[Caziques]

Anyone else have problems with USB on the box ? It picks up a usb stick but as soon as i open it, it crashes and then I have to reboot before it picks the USB up again.

We're aware of an issue here. This will be resolved in the update to Android Pie. The workaround some users have found effective is to clear the Google app data:
Go to Setttings, Apps, Google. Then clear the app data.

Unfortunately there is no way to correct the bug with out the system update. It also does not seem to affect all users.

Could you confirm what format your USB stick is in? We have not observed this to date.

Hi , its fat32 format ....

Is it just that USB stick or are others affected on that box?

Please try NTFS as well and see if the behaviour is different, if you can.
Thanks

Please try a factory reset. We're testing stable builds now, but the timeline depends on how many issues we pick up.

You can sideload 4.7.0 but it will only give up to 540p (no HD). Also can be navigated by standard remote that comes with the box.

@Skyworth Digital Support, my box has been stuck in a bootloop since last night. Will briefly power on to the homescreen then restart a coule seconds later. I have unplugged it from the power a few times. What can I do to fix it?

Hi,

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Please try the instructions here (http://myskyworth.com/support/) under "stuck on updating during setup". This should force a factory reset. If that doesn't work, please mail us at [email protected]

Pie should come out this year, all things being equal, and should it be stable enough. That's all we can say really for now.

Here is a Geekbench of the HPA02 Binge TV running Android TV 9.0 (Pie).
