  1. I haven't seen anyone respond either way on this forum... I wish they'd just tell us the truth.
  2. I honestly don't understand Netflix. Why would you not want as many subscribers as possible? This box is Google certified. That should be enough
  3. Its been almost the whole year in beta. Are we still getting the update? At least give us some feedback either way.
  4. Good question. Its been months in beta without any feedback. Starting to wonder if they're bringing out a new model soon. Android TV 7 has a few annoying bugs. Eg. Apps often show they've got updates pending when they haven't.
  5. The local agents gave me a replacement unit under guarantee when that happened to me
  6. Justin, what will happen when pie get released? Will we first have to go back to original firmware before upgrading ?
  7. Fantastic! Will you please let us know when its released?
  8. Don't do it yet. Mygica in South Africa on Friday told me to wait until its available on their site Mygica.co.za. They haven't even got a working copy yet!
  9. Great. I'm a simple oke too. From Cape Town . Mines bricked so I'm looking at other players. Mine gave me problems from day 1 too. Just getting the remote to pair was a pain. I kept getting a Google games has crashed error. I had to buy new Bluetooth headphones because this model is very finicky. Netflix also doesn't work properly even with their patch. My chromecast doesn't work at all and now this.. The local support seems pretty useless. I sent them a message asking for help with my bricked player. No response.
  10. Geniatech asked for information on my serial number etcetera. I've tried various things since. putting the firmware on a micro sd. Also usb stick. Both formatted fat32 holding the reset button and powering it on. Holding the button for 15 seconds while doing that. This is the procedure for the 495 pro. No luck so far. I find it amazing there's no recovery procedure for the box if an update fails.
  11. Getting the same issue. I've sent email to Geniatech asking for help. By some miracle my local supplier has a huge special on the max today. I had problems with mine from day 1. Chromecast built-in didn't work and I kept getting an error saying Google play games had crashed on initial setup when it was time to pair the remote. Unfortunately I bought it from someone online and not from a store so I had no warranty. Won't do that again.
  12. I copied the image file to the root of my usb. Put the usb stick in my player After it loaded I Went into the update screen Selected the image file on the usb Press update. the player restarted into update mode A progress bar showed. At about 50 % through the installation process the player's screen went blank and that's where it stayed. The light on the box went red. I left it for a long time and nothing happened. After about 30 minutes I restarted it. The blue power light comes on and then goes red and the screen stays black I'm amazed there's no way to go into a recovery mode Even the cheap players have one
  13. Halfway through the installation it restarted and won't work now
  14. I asked Geniatech directly if the upgrade would work (via their website) I got this back ------ Yes, the device delivery after May will be in Android 9.0. Best regards
  15. Do you know what I can't understand.. Why no one working for mygica on this forum has commented on the upgrade? Is it official? Can you go back to 7.12 after trying it? I just bought the box and I don't want to void the warranty.
  16. I saw on the amazon product listing it was due this year. I don't know if this is it though. Can anyone confirm ?
