NEO U22-XJ: 006FW (20210107) - Bugtracker [OTA Now Available]

The microphone on my Logitech C270 webcam no longer works in Messenger after the 006FW firmware update.
 
I'm sure a lot of hard work went into the new update, but for me nothing has changed except that movies with AC3 audio no longer play. I think we have lost site of what people want with there Minix U22. Not everyone has there unit tackled up to a home cinema setup. For me and many others I am sure there setup is basic, just a HDMI cable direct o the TV to watch downloaded movies and stream live TV and maybe browse and check emails. But the most basic function has been overlooked, the ability to use a wireless keyboard. I know its geared up for use with the Neo A3 remotes, which I have but actually hate to use and is sitting in a draw doing nothing. Should there not be a switch to select whether your using a remote or a keyboard. To me the keyboard is the most fundamental add on and as such should be able to function properly. I can't tell you how disappointed I was after such a long wait to find it had been completely overlooked. I am sure I am not the only one that has been waiting for this. Please remember not all Minix users are looking for a high end setup. So for now I'm back again to my Minix U1. Very disappointing indeed.
 
Hi eveyone, as on previous firmwares (I now have 006 loaded) I have proble ms with the Minix U22 affecting the HDMI of my Panasonic Smart TV (2019 model). The setting disappear from the TV menus and often a pop up messages on the TV asks to "check HDMI". The only solution is to unplug the HDMI cable from the Minix after each use and if the TV is turned off and on again the HDMI settings usually reappear. I have seen this referred to elsewhere on the site as a known problem but is it going to be fixed? Or do we just have to live with it?
By the way I love my U22 and previous Minix boxes, just trying to get the best out of my set up. Thank you, I look forward to your comments...

sounds like a hdmi handshake issue, could be specific to your tv manufacturer. I have AFR blink issue, which also appear to be some sort of a handshake correction visible as a screen blink. Hope more experienced folks would chime in to help you discuss your hdmi handshake issue.

Microphone on minix A3 also does not work as pointed out in earlier posts (page3?). Hopefully should be addressed in 007.
 
Strange problems with LG B8 OLED. Only the minix logo appears, but flickers and toggles the TV to Dolby Vision and then no picture at all.
I can enable DV on 2017 Oled model and still get the picture (anyone with a 2018 oled might be able to duplicate what you exprience, or probably try a factory reset?), anyway i don’t prefer that pseudo DV all the time, also keeping DV on in Android messes up the HDR playback in Coreelec (hdr videos get displayed with wrong color space, more purple tinted image).
 
You will have to do some research on .KL files and edit them yourself with root privilege. This is a recurrent issue with the U22 FW after FW. As much as Minix did an awesome job at taking care "generic" remotes for the U9-H, it looks like they didn't bother with the U22. That said, I saw some improvements with 006FW. So far I didn't have to restore my working .kl files with this update. Not sure if they were just not overwritten like before or done right this time. What apps are having the issue?
Please write down the exact remote models here that you wish it to be compatible with the U22-XJ.

Would you please try to factory-reset the device and try it again?
Hmmm,im now on 005FW (20200826) firmware.

Ok,i updated on 006 firmware again,do factory reset and then instal app(MaxTvToGo) and i got samo root problem. "Device is rooted.Playing of content may not work.

Have you tried rebooting the box after switching off root? IIRC, on FW004, you needed to reboot the box after toggling the "root" switch for it to take effect correctly. Albeit this is supposed to be fixed, it's worth double checking.

Maybe worth a try but All 4 used to detect root when it was disabled. Now it doesn't. If I enable root it does.
Luckily though even when it detects root it still functions!

It looks like different apps have different algorithms for checking such a thing.
 
After upgrading from FW003A to FW006, the sound on the usb dac ES9280c pro stopped working. Neutron player detects dac, playback is in progress, but there is no sound from the speakers. Any other applications do not play sound either. On 003A there was no such problem at all. DAC even worked on usb type C port.
I can't also get any sound over USB. It used to work before upgrade. My audio is Airpulse a300

Hi, Kristijan2,
I'd like to confirm, on FW006, in what situation makes MaxTvToGo not being able to stream any videos.
A. The Root switch has NEVER been turned ON before streaming MaxTvToGo.
B. The Root switch has been turned ON then OFF, after that, the MaxTvToGo can't stream any videos.
C. Both A and B.
Please let me know soon.

I tried both solution and nothing.
After i instal firmware 006,MaxTvToGo not being able stream channels like HBO,ARENASPORT,SPORTCLUB,CINEMAX.


I'm now again on 005 firmware.
 
found the reason for adjust frame rate blinks. It was not only happening with Kodi but across all the apps including Smart youtube, Plex and others. With hdr and sdr content.

If the display is at 36bit regardless of the chroma subsampling 420,422 or 444 i always see the blink, turning off deep color option from settings puts it in 24bit and then i dont get any blinks after the refresh rate change and at the end of playback (note that the blinks occur after the refresh rate has already changed so the blinks were not due to the change of refresh rate but some sort of discrepancy that somewhere gets normalized and displayed as a blink, but i can put shield tv to 36 bit and dont get any blinks in the same setup...
 
Please add “microphone not working- google assistant etc” in the known issues list for 006, thanks

Edit: sorry just found this already listed on the 2nd comment of this tracker, thanks Marty
