Ordered this from GearBest last week, while on special offer, and arrived yesterday from EU Depot. Total price was just £19.46.Up and running with no issues at all. I found that ordering from EU, as opposed to ordering from China, worked out a LOT Cheaper. Thanks for the review
please, is there any option to run or enable in android the ethernet connection over usb/ethernet adapter cable? in H3Pro it is visible the symbol of ethernet. thx
Thanks again Chigz always to the point & professionally done! Can U tell me what 4K TV are you using or recommend a good model that not to costly mate! thanks! Oh, have u ever done a video on setup all the parts frm box to TV and what kind of capture card do you use & again with a TV or is this with a PC trying to get a system together..nor sure what type of equipment I need ..maybe share the setup u're using . Thanks again
To make this video, I used: AGPtek capture card: th-cam.com/video/S62YxIua8jQ/w-d-xo.html For 4K TVs I recommend sticking to LG and Samsung: LG - amzn.to/2yANFLB LG - amzn.to/2x6y3f7 (my Fav) Samsung - amzn.to/2gmfMEc
Yes it will work off the USB power, you will most likely have to wait for the stick to boot up every time you turn on your TV. I would use the power adapter as the power source .
How quickly does the stick overheat, and how much of a risk is it to leave it plugged in/on even when I'm not using the device? I usually leave my current android box plugged up and I don't usually have a problem.
I have fully tested this TV stick, you can leave it on all night and watch as many movies as you want it will NOT overheat. This TV stick only heats up when you play games, as there is no adequate cooling or heatsink. For the price this is a powerful streamer and playing the occasional game is ok. Just would not recommend going crazy on gaming with this stick.
hello my dear can i download smarters iptv player on the Stick H96 pro ? Can you advise me the best please ( amazon fire stick ) (H96 PRO ) or ( X96S stick) thanks very much for your reply back 😀
+chigz tech reviews, I found this device with same memory but only difference is the chip. It's the s905x. Is there a big difference between the s912 and the s905x?
Good point, no it stays the same as the previous H96 Stick due to not getting top wifi speed. im getting 14MB when the office gets around 20-30MB. So the wifi speed is not the best, however at the same time I had no issues at all streaming movies and TV shows back to back.
I now have tried 2 different models of usb/ethernet adapter and neither one works to run this dongle. One is an adapter that is straight from ethernet to usb and the other is ethernet with three usb 3.0 ports and then the usb out. I have found this to be WIFI only.
Hello friend many thanks for your videos... Keep going on.... I have a question... Wich USB Ethernet adapter do you recommend to use with this stick.? I need one that works... I have tested two one from Lenovo and another one no brand and none worked... Can you give me a hand.... Best regards
Anybody know where the reset button is on this thing?! Mine is not booting up properly and I need to factory reset it. I've been looking all day and can't find any info about this. thanks!
Hi Chigz, very good video! I purchased the 96 Pro last year from Banggood. Works great but there was no Droid Setting app so if I move the 96 Pro to a different TV, there is no way to adjust the screen size. I've tried searching for the apk with no luck. Any ideas where I can get the Droid Setting apk for the 96 Pro? Thanks
If there is no droid settings, go to the app draw and see how many icons you have for settings, try both and one of them will give you display settings.
Chigz Tech Reviews thank you for the reply. I have tried both settings option apps: the Display settings is the basic Android settings and does not have ant tv size options.
Would it be possible to boot straight into playing a looping 4k movie from a SD card without showing anything else on screen? I would like to use it as a standalone solution playing just one file over and over. Thanks!
HELP. Just bought one and dont know which remote to buy. Will an old amazon ffirestick remote work or is there a phone app o can use to control the pro stick ??
CEC is not working on mine ,i am not able to navigate with TV remote control ,i have activated the setting in Google setting rebooted but still nothing works ,have to attach a mouse to navigate vey dissapointing since my other Box the H96 Pro + works fine
You can attach any USB keyboard or mouse or you can buy one of these: Best Android Wireless Mini Keyboard: ➡️ Buy from Amazon US: amzn.to/2gELUmv ➡️ Buy from Amazon UK: amzn.to/2wkUQrE ➡️ Buy from Amazon IN: amzn.to/2r6XDPq
Chigz Tech Reviews , what about this one, it Will working ? www.amazon.com/Keyboard-MX3-Wireless-Dupad-Story/dp/B071RTDYV2/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1529545717&sr=1-3&keywords=universal+android+tv+box+air+mouse
If you dont want a keyboard, I would recommend ProBox2 Remote+. With a keyboard would be MINIX A2 Lite. Thats what I have used. Much better then MX3 w keyboard remote
Yes when playing games it gets hot. But I dont really play games on these TV boxes, I just the for watching stuff on kodi, Netflix, youtube etc and I get no issues when doing that.
It's not that much less expensive than the h96 pro on Amazon they're charging almost 59 to $65 for this it's insane they should be $39 to $40 stick and you guys are charging 59 or more for this thing you can get the h96 pro for that price and it's a full box with more ports I was expecting this thing to be $39 like the Amazon Fire stick
Chigz Tech Reviews Thanks for the review. Does it have any buffering problems when playing videos / streaming from those series and movies pages that can be find navigating in the chrome browser. I don't have a Netflix account.
Honestly firestick is the worst TV Stick/box I have ever used, laggy and no CPU power and only 8GB storage. It is a waste of money. Anything is better than the firestick.
No way, the Wi-Fi on this device is terrible. No HD content for NetFlix, deal-breaker. Does not come with a remote. The same Ethernet adapter that I use to Hardwired my Fire TV Stick won't work on this device. It's more expensive. Not to mention if something goes wrong with it.....good luck vs support that Fire Tv has.

Hi.. i want to buy this stick. Have you tried to plug to car headunit ?
In your experience is there a performance difference between the 8gb version and the 16gb version?
Yes the 16GB was much better in performance. Also the 16GB is now the same price as the 8GB.
why you said 16gb performance better compared to 8gb? Is there any other hardware changes besides the storage capacity?
Just wondered if this stick can be charged up via the TV instead of hooking up to a main power supply?
Yes it can, it is very low powered so you can power it off any USB including the TV.
Chigz Tech Reviews brilliant! Thank you 😊
Hello Chigz Tech Reviews. Can you run candy crush game on an android Tv box?I am looking forward to your answer. Thank you in advance.
Hi yes you can play candy crush on an android TV box.
hi please I need to know how to control the device? u didn't mention that the box has a remote control!!!!????
Same here
Could you be so kind and try downloading Directv Now from the Google Play Store. I am trying to make a buying decision depending on this outcome.
I cant download that app, it is not available in the UK.
Chigz Tech Reviews Okay, thanks for trying. I will be buying one from your link below. Thanks
Great review as usual.
Does it work with tv usb for power?
Yes it will work off the USB power, you will most likely have to wait for the stick to boot up every time you turn on your TV. I would use the power adapter as the power source .
Yes it will. in Fact you can power from any USB port including a power bank, game console or regular wall socket.
thx for this vid, can you also connect a simple wireless mouse via usb dongle?
Yes you can.
Olá ótimo vídeo e muito bem explicado parabéns amigo ✌️✌️
How quickly does the stick overheat, and how much of a risk is it to leave it plugged in/on even when I'm not using the device? I usually leave my current android box plugged up and I don't usually have a problem.

Just would not recommend going crazy on gaming with this stick.
Why is there a chip compartment inside the battery section of the keyboard and it didn't come with a chip
What's the going price for this today? will these links from october show a price it was back then or currently at now?
also notice they a H3 S905X version sounds like a newer version but its abit cheaper thoughts on that?
hello my dear can i download smarters iptv player on the Stick H96 pro ? Can you advise me the best please ( amazon fire stick ) (H96 PRO ) or ( X96S stick) thanks very much for your reply back 😀
+chigz tech reviews, I found this device with same memory but only difference is the chip. It's the s905x. Is there a big difference between the s912 and the s905x?
Yes there is a big difference in performance, the S905 is quad core and S912 is octa core.
Chigz Tech Reviews just picked up the s905x for $59, free shipping. Did I make a good choice?
Another great video. Does this now take the top position in your top box for under $50? You previously recommended the MX9 pro.
Good point, no it stays the same as the previous H96 Stick due to not getting top wifi speed. im getting 14MB when the office gets around 20-30MB. So the wifi speed is not the best, however at the same time I had no issues at all streaming movies and TV shows back to back.
so your recommendation for below $50 is mx9 pro? Does mx9 have a website? Regular firmware updates?
Can this be ethernet hardwired with an USB adapter?
Yes you can use a USB HUB with LAN and it works fine.
I finally got a usb/ethernet adapter. I cannot get it to work. Do I need some kind of driver or software on the dongle?
I now have tried 2 different models of usb/ethernet adapter and neither one works to run this dongle. One is an adapter that is straight from ethernet to usb and the other is ethernet with three usb 3.0 ports and then the usb out. I have found this to be WIFI only.
My USB adapter did not work, the same one I use for my Fire TV Stick. The Wi-Fi on this thing is a joke.
Hello friend many thanks for your videos... Keep going on.... I have a question... Wich USB Ethernet adapter do you recommend to use with this stick.? I need one that works... I have tested two one from Lenovo and another one no brand and none worked... Can you give me a hand.... Best regards
Anybody know where the reset button is on this thing?! Mine is not booting up properly and I need to factory reset it. I've been looking all day and can't find any info about this. thanks!
Sir can you please provide ethernet support for this TV stick?
Hi Chigz, very good video! I purchased the 96 Pro last year from Banggood. Works great but there was no Droid Setting app so if I move the 96 Pro to a different TV, there is no way to adjust the screen size. I've tried searching for the apk with no luck. Any ideas where I can get the Droid Setting apk for the 96 Pro? Thanks
Sorry, I have the H3. When I checked your H3 video, I didn't see the Driod Setting app either.
If there is no droid settings, go to the app draw and see how many icons you have for settings, try both and one of them will give you display settings.
Chigz Tech Reviews thank you for the reply. I have tried both settings option apps: the Display settings is the basic Android settings and does not have ant tv size options.
I will have to dig it out and test for you.
Would it be possible to boot straight into playing a looping 4k movie from a SD card without showing anything else on screen? I would like to use it as a standalone solution playing just one file over and over. Thanks!
You probably can but would need to search the google plays store for an app which allows you to do this.
Thanks, this might do it then: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gears42.surevideo&hl=en
What gamepad do you use for this device? I couldn't get a gamepad working with my android tv stick.
Gamesir G4S Game Controller:
❤️ Buy from Amazon US: amzn.to/2y5Hmka
❤️ Buy from Amazon UK: amzn.to/2yNQRkY
Great Video! I was wondering if i can plug a USB hub with ethernet to it,and does this hub need to powered or just plug it in the H96 pro. Thanks!!
Thank you for the review but i would like to know how i can transfer files from my PC on it !
HELP. Just bought one and dont know which remote to buy. Will an old amazon ffirestick remote work or is there a phone app o can use to control the pro stick
??
No firestick remote won't work. You can use any remote, mini keyboard, USB mouse or keyboard
Will my PC Bluetooth connected this Bluetooth box to control the menus and have sound come through my computer speakers
What you want to do can be achieved by installing splash top software on the TV stick and then you can control it with you PC.
Hi, does the bluetooth function well? Mine cannot detect any bluetooth devices....
Yes works fine for me.
CEC is not working on mine ,i am not able to navigate with TV remote control ,i have activated the setting in Google setting rebooted but still nothing works ,have to attach a mouse to navigate vey dissapointing since my other Box the H96 Pro + works fine
From where you download 4k videos
Can you flash firmware onto this device as I've bricked mine?
I doubt you will find the correct firmware. If you find it online it is possible to re-flash.
what the best tv box with ram 4gb ddr3 or tv box with ram 3gb ddr4..thankyou
Check out the latest chart to compare; goo.gl/jNJcHN

does h96 updates firmware regularly?
H96 is one of the best companies to provide important updates for its device. So if an update is required they will release it.
Droid Settings and I wondered where it was.
Yes, quite a few people were asking me how to change display settings.
What remote do I use
Best Android Wireless Mini Keyboard:
✅ Buy from Amazon US: amzn.to/2jSjnLx
✅ Buy from Amazon UK: amzn.to/2iAfMor
Really great product good bang for the buck great review
Yes I agree, this device is superb for streaming.
Good Stick!😬
Do you have to buy a remote...that would increase the overall cost a little but at £38.08 its a no brainer !
You can also use any USB mouse or keyboard, wired or wireless.
Chigz Tech Reviews which remote would you recommend
If you dont want a keyboard, I would recommend ProBox2 Remote+. With a keyboard would be MINIX A2 Lite. Thats what I have used. Much better then MX3 w keyboard remote
If your TV supports CEC you can use your TV remote, it's in Droid Settings HDMI CEC
Anyone know if a nvieda shield remote or gamepad will work with this ? Plus could I just download a remote on my Android phone to use ?
Will a 64 gig micro sd card, formatted as fat32, work?
Yes it will.
There's no controller with it right?

H96 pro Amlogic S912 is the most powerful box in the h96 range.
Can it play netflix in HD (720p) ??
No
What about AirPlay
Airplay is not supported anymore due to iOS 11.
Where remote..
This does not come with a remote, you can use any mouse or keyboard.
Which remote support this stick sir..
کاش اس کو پاور usb کیبل سے ملتا تاکہ Adopt or استعمال کرنا نہیں پڑتا
nice device.
I wonder is there is an upgraded version of this Android TV stick??? Maybe 3 or 4gb's or ram, dual WI-FI and even switching over to DDR4 ram...
I think we will see something like that this year.
Badrinath ki dulhania ooh u know hindi
Subtitles are needed. 😎👍

Can it be rooted?
It is rooted from factory.
Yes this comes rooted as default.
Naic
