I am having repeated problems/bugs on my brand new T8-S plus V1 box.
I tried analysing them and will be explaining the bugs I have observed one by one in different posts rather than in one long post.
Bug 1: Repeated restarts on Android mode.
--------------------------------------------------
After I have applied ChrisM's fix for writing to external HDD, I noticed the following happening on the T8-S v1 box every time I switch to android mode. I clearly remember this was not happening before the fix. Of course the fix has solved the problem of not able to write to external HDD. Someone needs to check whether this fix has introduced the below bug or not.
When the box is switched to android mode, the OS will start and the desktop will appear. Initially it says synchronising date and try to locate the City with an animated circle. This will continue until it connects to the wi-fi. Sometimes when the net is slow, this will go on for a long time even after wi-fi connection. At this point the clock is not synced and is showing the default time and date (3:00 AM on 1-1-1970).
On a stronger wi-fi bandwidth, the box synchronises the date and time in a short while and displays the correct date and time. Now it will continue to try to locate the City by network.
At this point the T8-S will restart again and on android desktop after displaying the correct date and time, it will locate correctly my City and display it along with the local weather information.
After this the android desktop remains steadily without any restarts further. I have tried to simulate this bug a number of times and this is repeating like a clock.
I am sure there is no battery inside the box to save the clock information and location like any android phone or tablet. Otherwise the clock information (date and time) and location would have been stored.
Atleast the box's firmware should have saved the clock and location information in memory when the box is switched to standby mode (red light) while still connected to power supply. Only a power outage in this case would make the box to lose the clock and location information.
This would have made the T8-S V1 to boot fast, and be ready for use without any restarts.
