More about Xiaomi TV Box 3 from Official Chinese Xiaomi Store (chinese lang)
I think that in this new version of Xiaomi TV Box we can use remote control like Air mouse(That's would be great). But I can't be sure...
Maybe someone knows Chinese:

UPD: I found a translated description of this TV box here
I think it is quite good TV Box.

Hmmm 1GB ram & 4GB rom don't bother with this there's just not enough memory to do anything + way over priced too.
The remote looks cool though I would say this is ment for the Chinese market

---

got it yesterday and was my biggest mistake to buy it,i would not recommend to anyone this one cause is in Chinese language and there was no warning at all on gearbest.com that this item does not have English lang,going to take it back and order another one and better

---

can change to english very easy
i recommend tis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-6qkn6awJQ to change to English. go to http://assets.sfcdn.org/apk/com.shafa.market/236/d4b163f/com.shafa.market_4.5.6_international.apk copy to a usb drive and follow the youtube video. if you manage to change to English use the baidu keybord with eng .i hop this will help you. i have in stall kodi on this box its not bad i think.

Nice. I just bought one of these units but I'm worried about a firmware update wiping out the ability to root when I connect to wifi. Can we disable auto-updates?

I have lost root before, with auto update of my MIBOX ( I have earlier 2GB version) than I rooted again, installed Play Store, all my apps and I purchased Super User app Pro version it has ability to keep Root even after update. And now I'm not afraid and update my MIBOX to the latest firmware.

Hmm, alright. Did you root for any particular reason?

---

Anyone else running Kodi on this box? I'm having problems with passthrough audio

---

I think the Pro version worth the 16euros extra

---

anyone tried uninstalling the built in android and running OpenElec on it?

I ordered 2 in gearbest today.
at flash sale 79 u$s each, and 2 xiaomi joysticks for 20 bucks each....
I hope I can change language....
In the worst case, I use a custom launcher.
If it can be rooted, language can be changed with no problem

---

Hi, you can install apex luncher. Than it will add a new "settings" icon. From there you can choose any language you want
Interesting the new Xiaomi Mi TV Box 3 Enhanced

The Xiaomi Box 3(S905) with one usb port only can also be rooted and works woth google apps also.
you just have to flash the .106 rom, then go setting change the language to English (because the .106 rom natively supports English) and then you can use kongoroot to root it via computer and USB to USB Cable after activating adb. once done you can install Gapps and change the default laucher and disable all the Mi bloatware , this way you can have more space and less ads on the device.

Hey guys is this thread based on this same unit.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mi-Box-A...75035&wl11=online&wl12=54827138&wl13=&veh=sem
Now selling at walmart. I just got one and trying to find some info. It was only 69 or so.

Hi guys
Can anyone who has this tell me if it has an IR receiver? I want to use it with a Logitech Harmony 650. The Logitech site lists it as a compatible device but I have my doubts as I know the remote uses bluetooth, and I've seen conflicting reports. Thanks!

I got one last weekend. I put my sunvell t95 on the top shelf of my closet. This is the box. It only has one USB port, I use a usb hub and a external hard drive, a usb to Ethernet adapter. The true Google experience is perfect on this box. Plus mobdro and kodi. I still want to root to do some build prop editing when someone figures out how to root this. The s905 cannot handle this box. It is the best buy around. Only thing I wish is if it was a Huawei box because they should have done more with there box. But Xiaomi and leeco have past them in the home entertainment market.
