Really can install third-party APP: Lynx Box M13 start experience

We watched television very little and had used the TV box for the first two years in the home. Dad and Mom, who lived in their hometowns, occasionally came to live. They were very uncomfortable at first and found that the box could be used to watch serials without interruption. They also began to learn how to use them. Finally, they simply let me buy a box and put it in my hometown as a supplement to TV.

Now, the two homes have a total of five television boxes. Two millet boxes (it seems to be an enhanced version), a Tmall box (a free generation), a Baidu Shadow Stick 2S (hundreds of dollars to grab), a Tsinghua Tongfang (the model is forgotten, but also dozens of dollars to grab of). There was also a gold Asia (also tens of dollars to grab), and gave it to relatives.

Do not know if the network is not good, or there is a problem with the hardware equipment, or that is a feng shui problem, anyway, the main house of Baidu video stick is often intermittent, get another room is quite normal. Put on the noble millet box and it's good. So, just think about buying one more.

Pictures from the network, for reference only as a half rice flour, originally looked at the millet box. However, the price is very low, especially after comparing with the Lynx Box M13, the difference of 100 yuan is enough for me to buy a special box.

Photo from the box customer service, for reference only and Lynx box itself has a good variety of models, but also often change the vest to push an "activity". According to the parameter map at the time of customer service, I definitely chose the M13 that was most suitable for me and believed to be the most cost-effective.

For other brands of boxes, there is not much to understand. Considering that there is no God price, it is not wrong to buy the Tmall Box which has a relatively high volume. Therefore, the Tmall Box is set.

When the box is strictly controlled, the third-party APP will be automatically deleted. To be on the safe side, it is necessary to confirm with the customer service, and if there is any problem, we must make a decisive return.

Lynx Box, the official flagship store is the best buying channel, but not the cheapest purchase channel. Under the watch, most of the other shops sent gifts, U disk, AV cable, remote protection cover, brackets, etc., are not available. It is still a flagship store, and there is no guarantee after sale.

Transport packaging is dedicated to Tmall.

Formal packaging, or so simple, and millet box, Lynx box generation the same style.

Amount, this is positive, haha.

Seeing Alibaba Cloud, Chrysanthemum is shocked by a tight tiger. Even if I'm familiar with your boss, if you don't support third-party apps, I'll give you a return warning.

Do not understand why watch TV to use mobile phones, I just thought it was a hidden function, to use a mobile phone to achieve the installation of third-party APP (previously there is a box like this). The TV assistant was installed and did not find an entrance to install a third-party APP, but saw the interface of the gamepad. Instead, playing a game that requires a handle can simulate the handle through the phone. I don't have game requirements and ignore it.

Open the box, the impression is similar to the packaging of Lynx Box 1.

Family portrait. The good news is that the remote control uses battery No. 7. It is felt that the durability of the 7th battery is more durable, and it is necessary to change the battery in half a year of the button battery.

Tmall's logo is also on the power supply, and consistency is better.

5.2V 2.1A design, do not know for Mao is such a strange voltage. Ordinary 5V 2A power not?

Box body. The front face is a big cat face, which is already the iconic look of the Lynx box.

The white triangular cat nose in the middle is the power indicator light. The faint blue light after the boot turned out to be more comfortable than the dazzling white light of Magic Box 1. The indicator of Magic Box 1 was sealed with electrical tape.

The bottom middle piece is made of plastic material, including a raised bulge next to it. Raised rubber is not used, so slip resistance is normal. Fortunately, the box is generally not moved there, so slipping is not necessary. However, if you can use rubber material, certainly better, in order to save costs can be understood.

The back interface of the box is still relatively abundant, including AV signal output port, USB port, network cable interface, HDMI interface, and power interface.

The first two years of the AV port may be a little more necessary (at that time, the old TV at home used the AV port, but also bought the line, and later replaced it with the LCD). Now it is basically impossible to use it. The old TV is really not suitable for the use of the box.

There is no TF port, this is not a problem, TF's convenience is certainly not as good as U disk, after all, you must use the box on the regular plug.

The network cable interface is reserved. If there is a reserved network cable on the TV, the network cable is still the best and stable. However, my family has completely eliminated the network cable, because the router was changed to the ceiling, and the network cable buried at home was completely abandoned.

There was a friend who asked me to help him find a TV box with a fiber output, and I was dizzy. Although I don’t know much about these things, I’m still very sure to tell him that if you want sound quality, the box should be unsatisfying, the hardware determines that there is no good audio decoding chip, the sound source is a problem, or is honest Go for the corresponding device.

For the power interface, I have never understood why there are so many devices with a round mouth. If the power supply is within 5V2A, isn't it better to use the MicroUSB port? Various data cables in the home are now supported by so many patch panels. USB output. I don't like it anyway.

Remote control is a simple button type. Have seen some boxes of remote control buttons, or design and television remote control like, I do not understand the numeric keypad area is used to dry out.

However, if you want Tucao to use the current box manufacturers, you can't unify the layout of the three large diamond keys. Android phone is basically the middle of the home button, return and menu keys may be swapped around, but the box to the home button to change the position is very depressed. Especially for boxes like me, I often press the wrong home button.

The bottom M button, I am sorry, I will not visit Taobao on TV, so I have never used it (by mistake).

The key feels well, I feel no crisp millet, but not as soft as some boxes. There is no requirement for personal opponents. If you press OK, the box meets your requirements.

Do not know how to cut off the television screen, so the following are shot directly with the phone, some of the clarity is not enough, everyone will be.

Turning it on for the first time will let you adjust the screen size. This is not related to the HDMI specification. Indeed, several boxes need to adjust the screen size to avoid black frames after changing the TV and changing the resolution.

Then choose the network. Only WiFi is available at home and only WiFi is available. I hope to be stable.

After logging in with a Taobao account, it is said that you can shop on Taobao TV. Without this requirement, we will definitely skip it.

The TV assistant came again and no need to ignore it.

After the first time the configuration is successful, the system will automatically check if any firmware can be upgraded. Saying that I bought it in June, it seems that until now, no updates have been made except for that upgrade. In this way, I basically rely on third-party APP, as long as the box does not have serious bugs need to be repaired, not the best upgrade, so as to avoid knowing which days after the upgrade was forced to remove the APP by the General Bureau of Light.

The main interface, the most eye-catching nature is a variety of content channels and TV Taobao. I don't need all these things. Each manufacturer has its own design concept. Each user has his own habits. So I don't comment on the main interface. Just have a place to find my third-party APP.

With digital products at hand, I was accustomed to look at the settings first, understand what can be set, and at the same time adjust to my own habits. M13's settable items are still quite rich. As you can see from the settings, the M13 supports PPPoE dialing for itself and is used as a WLAN hotspot, which means it can be used as a router. But now the family, there should be not much of this demand (there are routers), the day is to use WLAN hotspots to extend the original WiFi signal coverage.

M13 does not support Bluetooth. This should be considered from a cost perspective (the remote controller is also normal infrared). In the past, I also used a millet box with a bluetooth speaker, but I haven’t used it since it was basically used, so this is acceptable.

Test the WiFi signal I care about. Compared to the original Baidu video stick 2S, in the same position, the box signal is good, 20M telecommunications broadband can basically grab more than 10M (my home WiFi device ten), enough to use. Actual use, the overall signal stability is not bad.

The application center (application market) that the box comes with, and the urine of the millet box, are all APPs that are not used, let alone those apps that are very popular.

In my application, the system's own APP is listed (here is also installed here). A glance at it, I may use it except for shrimp music, multi-media player and security steward, others are tasteless.

Like the early box, there is a home monitoring function that uses television to watch video surveillance. This time I went to see it and I was directly stupid. He was willing to cooperate with Logitech. And this kind of computer camera ... not to mention, or to buy a smart camera. Saying that, there are three smart cameras at home, one is a night vision version of millet, one is Dahua TC1 (sent), and the other is Dahua Yuntai (9.9 grab). Please be careful when entering my house. Change your clothes to find the room. Haha.

I used Mimi to route the MINI to a mobile hard drive. Sometimes I would have movies or children's English videos. So the box must be able to connect to the router and play the video directly. Some of the cheap boxes need to have a suitable APP installed. The system's own features are not available (Baidu, Tongfang, and Jinya don't seem to be able to do it). The Lynx Box is implemented through its own multimedia player. It can directly access the router and play multimedia content.

By the way, if your box does not support access to the router video or is too much trouble, you can try to download magic video player (not magic video), this app can easily access the video in the router, enter the router IP.

The key time is coming. Can you install a third-party app? Will it be very troublesome?

Download Betty's APK (I'm used to this) on your computer, copy it to a USB flash drive, and insert the USB port of the box.

Immediately, the prompt to detect the external device appears on the screen.

Right, select the second application and click in.

La La La La, see when the shellfish market, install it.

At this time, you will be prompted on the screen, when the shellfish market has not passed YunOS security certification, please confirm whether to continue the installation. Nonsense, I do not need your certification, it is best not to ever be certified. After confirming the continuation, the shell is installed. This is the earliest APP installation method of the year, and it is also the most convenient one. So touched.

Then, you can be happy to find and download your favorite APP. In order to install other APPs, Be sure to jump out of the YunOS security prompt each time. In other words, the system still takes over the work of installing the APP (when Shell only downloads the APP). In the future, if it is severely attacked, there will still be certain risks. We must wait for the great gods of the forum to rescue everyone.

After installing the third-party app, there are two places to visit. One is at the far right of the navigation bar above the main interface. You can use the Add button to add an APP shortcut. However, after the application is added, the application can only be placed behind the system preinstalled application, and sometimes the shortcut will be invalid after the APP is upgraded. So, I usually open the app with my app in the lower left corner of the main interface.

Open my application and install your own app. The downside is that the order cannot be adjusted.

Pressing the remote control's menu button on the app will uninstall the app (and of course, through Beckham).

If it is pre-installed by the system, I am sorry that I cannot uninstall it. Want to uninstall will go to the root system, and looks like M13 is not a good root, many forums introduced the root method, in the comments have people reply that root failed. I don't care, I don't have many applications. I have more room for 3G, enough for me to use.

The last system information map, the first boot, firmware version is not actually upgraded in January, after the upgrade is in June. There is a gap between the core frequency and 2G customer service, and the reason is not clear. Memory display only 800M, I do not know whether it is occupied by the graphics card, or how.

Simply speaking about some of the other aspects of feelings, we will not put a figure.

1. Each time the power is turned off, an advertisement will be played (now a lot of brands have boot ads), but there is no such thing as a Xiaomi family barrel, and there is no advertisement in other places.

2. Occasionally crashes and restarts occur. It is not very frequent and acceptable. Two months now, there are probably 2-3 times.

3. Many of the various video programs that come with them are to be paid, especially movies.

4. Occasionally, when watching movies with magic video, buffering may occur. At the beginning, I suspect that it is a problem with the device, but with other apps, the buffer frequency is not as high as magic. Since the buffering time is not very long, nor does it mean that you need to buffer it once in a few minutes, you don't care about it. At the same time comparing other boxes, there is a buffer phenomenon, but the magic on the Lynx box is more obvious. Hope is caused by magic and Tmall's compatibility issues.

5. At present, there is no case of deletion of applications. I hope that I will not force upgrades and do not delete applications automatically. In case of any problems, we have to go to the forum to find a solution, or you can ask customer service, hey.

6. Aside from the CPU's improved performance, 1G memory is very helpful for the fluency of the system. Tested more than one open (Open APP, press the home button to return to the main interface, and then open other APP), significantly smoother than other boxes. Now that the APP is getting more and more bloated, with Android's memory urine, buying a 512-memory box is really looking for abuse. Maybe it's OK now. Will you try again next year?

7. Lastly, I would like to tell you that although supporting copyright and purchasing genuine copies are obligations that every citizen should do, many of the APP's movies and TV programs are getting less and less, and many of them can be found to be charged. Ask the gods to share a rich, no-charge APP.

to sum up:

advantage:

The performance is good. At present, there are a lot of surpluses. Referring to the enhanced version of the millet box 1 generation, using three years is not a problem.

Third-party APPs can be easily installed and have not yet been deleted.

Stability is good, after all, for a while, there is enough time to optimize rom.

Disadvantages:

The remote control button layout is not reasonable, home should be changed to the middle.

There are ads on the boot, but fortunately, there is a boot.

Too much money to bring your own content.

Now there are few activities. The official website offers 10 yuan a day, so I really miss the days when the gold coin was changed. I say a lot of gold coins.
