Poison85 - interesting you have curved Samsung UHD TV. As you may read earlier in this thread i also have similar and cannot get 4K on the display setting (1080p or 720 only) and hence not in Kodi either. As PeteA mentions this isnt a big issue as there is no or very little 4K content at the...

Pete, There is a sticky at the start of this forum all about a firmware update. Not sure if this covers the 'fix' you experienced with that firmware we tried. Regards Glyn

Just to let anybody who is following the trial of the alternative firmware i have now restored the original firmware on my T8 mini with the help of SS. I will try the OTA firmware update that is available at some point. Many thanks to SS for his assistance and support.

Any news on providing Droidbox firmware for the T8 mini?

Thanks SS Just out of interest and not sure if this makes a difference my HDMI sockets on the tv are annotaged:- HDMI 1 STB/DVI HDMI 2 MHL HDMI 3 ARC HDMI 4 nothing The Samsung support said the T8 needed to be plugged in HDMI 2. I have however tried the T8 mini in all HDMI ports with the...

I had to install this firmware via the method described by PeteA. As he stated the box just booted up to Androld and didn't update the firmware even though the 'update firmware' was pressed throughout the power up cycle. Anyhow the firmware is now updated but it didn't detect I had a 4k tv. I...

Yes I am willing to give the firmware update a try providing it doesn't mess up the box and that it will be usable afterwards. I need assurance you will support my box if it goes amiss as a result. PeteA had a different problem to me as you know. I will contact support.

PeteA, The cable I bought was a Sandstrom Silver series 2m 21Gbps. Got a superb deal for it at my local PC World as it was the last one they had in stock. It's connected to a Samsung UE40JU6740 which has 4 HDMI ports. I have tried all the ports. Each can be configured for various devices - not...

@Waggers is twitter is it not. Unless the cable is something special then I don't need one. As you can read in yesterday's post at 12.11 I have purchased a new one.

Hello, I don't have Facebook or twitter. I have had the auto switch turned off. With it on the T8 defaults to 720 with the option to change to 1080. If I select 1080 the switch turns off as expected. The tv confirms I am in 1080. These are the only 2 resolution options. The issue is there are no...

Well I am not further forward. I have now got a 21gbps version 2 cable and the issue continues where I can only setup 1080 or 720 resolution. I have tried all hdmi ports on the TV and checked the tv manual which states that all 4 ports can support 4k 60. I feel I have taken over this thread and...

Yes I did enable CEC as part of my extensive activities to get my cables working. It didn't make any difference to my issue. On my Samsung UE40JU6740 there is only an on/off option for CEC. I have not seen any setting on the T8 for CEC. When I turned CEC on the TV it found the T8 and also my...

Peter Of course - this was your original issue. I hope to get a 'proper' cable tomorrow. I will try Kodi in Android and also the Openlec version (this is my preferred option by the way). Regards Glyn.

Thanks David - the OA pension won't stretch to a 'posh' one.

Thanks PeteA I was using the supplied cable. My other cables are also the 1.4 versions. This is the first time I have been able to connect a 4k device. So off to the Amazon site to get a decent version 2 cable. Many thanks for the quick comments.

Sorry to butt into your thread but I received a T8 Mini on Monday and although I have got it connected to my Samsung 4k tv I can only connect at 1080. From your conversation above you seem to be connected at 4k within Android? I only have 2 options when I setup my connection in Android or in...
