Hi, I own a T8-S Plus. I am assuming that many people have not just gone through the blue island screen error of death nightmare which means factory resetting the droidbox, but also another extra added headache even if you fix that blue island problem, the droidbox will still unexpectedly restart itself again for a second time after first boot-up, just shortly after first powering it up within a few minutes.
Well with the fatal blue screen error, naturally I uninstalled the Droidbox Games market, and just to be doubly sure I also uninstalled the main droidbox market too (google play is enough for me), so it no longer crashes to the blue island screen error of death. Woo.
However even after doing this I have found that it still often unexpectedly resets every time I power it on, it would stay on for a minute or so then reboot. But as I said it would only do this the once every time I switch the power on, then it boots fine the second time.
The solution to this (I assume it to be) came to me unexpectedly. As I was having "locating by network" problems with my weather widget, I went to look for a way to disable the widget (still unresolved). However in trying to figure it out, I decided to try disabling the Clock widget in the app settings hoping that would solve it, as the clock uses the same portion of the screen (I had assumed that they were part of the same widget).
But the clock is still very much active on my home screen. WTF?
What it did do though was totally fix the second reboot problem. The droidbox now just boots up the once without resetting again when I first power it up. I am assuming that there must be a clock conflict somewhere which flicks some invisible reset switch. Anyway, along with deleting the market, I no longer have anymore fatal blue screen disasters or reset problems.
Knowing my luck it will reboot the next time I turn it on now (or worse blue screen crash), sods law. So can anyone else confirm this conflicting clock thing?
