If you haven't already, might be worth trying something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.loadinghome.rotatescreenorientation or one of the other rotation configuration apps there.

Angela doesn't work for DroidBOX. If the problem remains, I'd contact DroidBOX staff again and mention everything you've already tried, to hopefully prevent them suggesting the same steps.

Thanks to all for the kind words. Back in Britain again, wanted to check how things were going here on the forum, quite a few threads to catch up on!

If the box's power supplies themselves are definitely OK still, you could get really lucky and find it is just a fuse/big enough component (not a fiddly SMD piece) that has died. If you're handy with a soldering iron and can see which component on the circuit board has gone, might be worth...

You could try clearing the providers/cache in Covenant, but this hasn't helped me in the past. Have you seen if the same happens in S.A.L.T.S (Stream ALl The Sources)?

They think you are using Android, it looks like. Did you follow the same process as https://droidbox.co.uk/how-to/using-a-vpn-in-libreelec/ ? Hopefully Angela's advice above will sort it out.

The V2 part can be confusing, as T8 v2 is printed on the bottom of older models. The v2 referred to in this forum will be the T8-S Plus v2, based on the S905 chip from Amlogic (rather than the S802 in the T8, I think, it has been a while)

Sounds like it should, the T8 V2 and clock make it sound like a match, but try to find the original firmware for your device first. If you find (for example) that WiFi or Bluetooth don't work with our firmware, you can hopefully revert to the original one. I've come across people who only use...

Understood regarding consistency. However more useful than a speedtest result is the actual download speed achieved with real world usage. Might not be the case here, but definitely had cases in the past where Kodi and normal http downloads were achieving a lot higher than the speedtest app...

My job at DroidBOX ends today (Friday). I'll still be around (likely not to be daily any more!) as a customer/member of the community, but won't have access to any information beyond what can be googled! In terms of DroidBOX staff, @Dave C will likely be the main person you come across here...

Find a FAST web server and download a file @stanster via the Browser app. Time it and work out the bandwidth used. I trust speedtesting apps less and less these days, I tend to partially download a large ISO, let it download a couple hundred of megabytes and see how fast it was. Not perfect...

Having looked at the other apps this person wrote, letting this thread stay (we don't normally allow new forum users to advertise their products, especially in a first post), software is free (apparently includes adverts, but obviously very common these days), no red flags from the reviews...

Thanks for updating, REALLY glad he remembered the PIN... we get calls where the screen lock has been set but customers can't remember the code set. In case happens in the future to someone else and they end up reading this thread, factory reset is the way to go if all else fails...

WiFi Analyzer is a great application to install on your DroidBOX, as it helps you to find the best WiFi channel to set on your modem/router, great if neighbour's WiFi networks are causing interference and problems with signal levels. Some network hardware (modems/routers/access points) will...

Please do drop us an email with the order ID or full delivery address. Our apologies for this mistake, we'll get a new one sent out (but do please send the email with order ID/address so we ave the details of where to send etc.)

If it is the original T8-S (not a T8-S Plus or T8-S Plus v2) then FTMC (see https://droidbox.co.uk/blog/get-kodi-17-krypton-on-android-4-jellybean-devices/ ) or CEMC (in the Play Store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.xbmc.cemc ) would be your best bets if you want something...

When you start the server on your PC it doesn't bring the window up automatically (at least on my (Windows 10) PC), check in the bottom right corner (and the area where icons hide (little arrow to click)) for the Remotr icon. It is the 3rd one from the left, top row, in this screenshot In the...

If you find ES File Explorer opens each time you turn your device on, or you don't want it popping up when you connect a storage device then https://goo.gl/pWPKVN has the steps required to turn this function off.

Regarding the comment from Nigelar, he isn't going mad (no proof in this thread at least!), I've removed a spammer's post and account from the forum.

I've removed the spammer's posts and account from our forum (Nigelar was referring to a post made this weekend).
