Hello everyone, in the end it seems that it was worth the wait. Downloaded and updated by OTA successfully. The NEO A3 Backlit controller now perfectly turns on the U22-XJ Automatic refresh rate change works on kodi. For now things are looking pretty good. That is if the link via hdmi Arc with my lg soundbar keeps failing, but it is not crucial for me.
Thanks to Minix and his collaborators.
 
Para 9 of FW006 states that notifications will now disappear automatically. Just had the message sound on the box, notification appeared for an instant and then vanished.

So, how do I locate that vanishing message? Thank you

Pull up from the bottom of the screen to enable the task bar, then slide down from the top to see the notification bar, if the notification was important then it should be visible there.
 
Hello,

Since the update from FW005 to FW006, Fake HDMI doesn’t work on $ky G0. It displays “3nt3nal di$play 0utput is bl0ck3d” but seems to play in the background.

Please see attached image:-

Is this a known issue or an issue with my U22 Box?

Thanks,

Chris.
 
I got some really strange coloured patterns on the top half of the screen when installing the update, it then rebooted itself again and now seems fine.
 
Thanks!
Installed through FOTA flawlessly.
Activated root, and was able to install AdAway and have it update my host file. (y)

Streaming for Bell Fibe App (Canada) not working with FW006. This worked with FW005 but not FW004.
Same Error Message as FW004.

Guys, you need to enable Fake HDMI.

@Greeney10 did you do that?
As far as I remember, it was embedded in the last firmware and was not a switch.

Settings, MINIX Settings, Display, Screen resolution, Fake Hdmi


@fabzilla what about you?

Thanks Marty. That is what I always did previously. Nope...nothing there now, may have been a glitch.

I will keep an eye out for future notifications.

Just one more for Bugtracker...It is still not possible to drag and drop widgets from nova launcher to home screen. The same still applies to the app drawer. I know the work around for the app drawer. But just thought I would list these two issues.
