Is there a TV box even more powerful than the Nvidia Shield TV?

I'm a big fan of Persona 5 so I downloaded a messenger app that looks just like the one in the game. It looks great, but the font and display are way too small. I tried going into my settings and changing the font and display size, and while that made the app look great (exactly like in the game!), it made everything else WAY too big. This is what my home screen looks like now, it made my phone look like it belonged to someone going blind.

So is there any way that I can change the font and display size on that specific app to be bigger while still keeping everything else at default size? I already looked through the settings for the app and there isn't an option in there. Thanks in advance!

No Netflix and Amazon Prime Video in HD.
32-bit version Android OS.

It has been a long time since the last time I was excited by a TV box. The other day I saw a video on ASBYT's YouTube Channel, introducing the Beelink GT King. I was so intrigued by the design and specs of this device, and decided that I had to get my hands on the box, and here we are.

The Beelink GT King is the latest addition to Beelink's TV box lineup, and it comes with some of the most astonishing specs ever seen in an Android TV box. Not only is it the first TV Box powered by the all new Amlogic S922X chipset, which has a big-LITTLE hexa-core CPU (4 cores of Cortex A73 clocked at 1.8GHz , 2 cores of Cortex-A53 clocked at 1.9GHz ), a beefy Mali-G52MP6 GPU clocked at 846MHz, and uses very advanced 12nm manufacturing process, it also comes with 4GB LPDDR4 RAM, 64GB eMMc storage, HDMI2.1 and a slew of connectivity options.

But what do those specs mean to us average consumers in our day to day use? Do we really need that much horsepower from a TV box? We will try to find out the answer in this review.

Retail Packaging



The Beelink GT King comes with very refined retail packaging, the half-skull on the front of the black box looks extremely cool.





Inside of the packaging we have found the GT King TV box, and some accessories: including an AC Adapter, an HDMI cable, a remote and a user manual. The user manual offers instructions in different languages: English, German, French and Japanese.


Design and build



The GT-King has a very premium and attractive design, definitely one of the best of all Beelink devices. The matte black finish of the shell looks pretty nice, while the highlighted skull on the top side looks identical to the one on the famous Skull Canyon mini PC.



Also on the top side, there's a raised Beelink logo on the top left corner.



The eyes of the skull will light up in green once the box is powered on, giving it a more interesting look.



There're lots of interfaces on the relatively small GT-King. The front plays host to an IR receiver, which works with the stock remote coming with the box.



On the left side, you can find two USB 3.0 ports, which ensure high-speed data transfer between the GT-King and USB-mounted storage such as a portable drive and a flash disk. There is also a MicroSD card slot, which can support cards up to 128GB.



The back side of the box sports an DC-in port, a USB 2.0 port, an HDMI 2.1 port, an Ethernet connector, an SPDIF port, a 3.5mm AV (RJ45) port.



There are 4 very short feet on the bottom side.



The GT-King measures 4.25 x 4.25 x 0.63 inches and weighs 190g, pretty compact even by TV box standards. The build quality is great, as the box looks extremely polished, with no ugly mold lines. It feels pretty sturdy, too.



The supplied remote is predictably lightweight, and feels very well-built as well. The box responds quickly to its commands and the infra-red range are acceptably long and broad. What puzzled me at first was that the infrared remote came with a USB receiver, which seemed quite unnecessary. I then contacted Beelink and they told me that the remote for the GT-King was designed to feature air mouse functionality, but due to the lack of material, they removed this feature from one batch of GT King. Well, I ended up being the unlucky few.


Setting it up



Setting up the Beelink GT-King is as easy as setting up any TV box. Connecting it to a TV set (or projector) via HDMI, plugging in the DC power adapter and you are good to go. After being powered on, a skull will show up on the TV screen, with its eyes blinking in different colors.



The startup is quite fast, as the familiar Beelink homescreen will show up only seconds afterwards.


System & Apps



The Beelink GT-King ships with Android 9.0 Pie, with the very familiar Beelink skin on top. The launcher has everything laid out beautifully and is very easy to navigate. The date and time is located at the top left with the temperature widget below. In the center of the screen you have a link to the media center, internet browser and Google Play Store, There are also shortcuts to "clear memory", app drawer, and settings laying below. To the right is an area where users can pin their favorite apps. Finally, at the bottom left you have shortcuts to power, volume, at the bottom right you have shortcuts to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth.



The navigation bar at the very bottom is defaulted to be hidden, but you can bring it up with a mouse. It has many virtual keys, including a power button, a back button, a home button, a recent apps button, a screenshot key, a volume- button, a volume+ button and a hide-bar button.

I personally think that Beelink should design a skin and some wallpapers more in line with the design of the GT-King, since this is such a special device, but developing something completely different for one device may be costly for such a small operation like Beelink.



The GT-King doesn't come loaded with bloatware, but there are some preinstalled apps. Besides the stock Google Play Store, Chrome, Calculator and Gallery, you can also find Beelink's very own App Store, Bee Files Explorer, Media Center, Movie Player and Bee Music in the app drawer.



The Google Play Store is the normal phone and tablet variant instead of the TV version found on many other Google certified TV boxes. Although there are more apps in the phone-version Play Store, you won't get most of your favorite TV apps here.



Still, you can install the TV version of YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video from Beelink's very own App Store, those apps work better with a remote. If these are still not enough, there's always an option to directly install the apk files of the apps you want.

One thing we need to mention is that the GT-King runs on the 32-bit version of Android 9 Pie. There are a few apps which won't run properly on the device, but it is not really a concern for the majority of TV box users.

How much do they charge for replacing the battery of s7 edge. And will the phone still have ip68 protection after the replacement?

I have a signed api and I just pushed an update to it. Still not play store. It works just fine on the emulators, but on my phone it keeps crashing. (Just A Map keeps stopping)

I changed very little since the last version: added an image for a splash screen background (it's a style background so it only shows during startup) and moved a few things around. The big change is the image, but it displays that just fine, and moves on to the next activity before it crashes.

How can I find out what is breaking?

My device was accidently formated because of a missread i clicked wipe in twerp and it formated it while trying to format the cache it wiped everything exepet the files how can i recover it all to be like it was before?

"custom mobile operating system" like emui - MIUI

and which version of it ?

When does Samsung ne UI Home appear on Google Activity?

I am creating an app in which I have to play audio from a number of URL links. At the first ever run of the app I am providing user the option of either downloading all of the audio files at once. Right now I am downloading each URL individually using Async Task. The problem with this approach is that since I have some 6000 url links for audio files it takes very long.

My questions is that is there any way I can quickly download audio files from these 6000 urls or any better approach of handling downloads.

Below I am also providing the code that I am using for downloading each url.

I have the Note 9 with magisk latest the only problem I have is that my WiFi has a exclamation mark next to it and I don't get any connection. I only have WiFi on not mobile data. I have to reconnect again to make it work it happens every couple of minutes. I just downloaded the ROM and the vendor fix when flashing. Any help? I have The Galaxy Project ROM

After reformatting a 32GB micro SD card as a internal storage, I had my phone move over some apps and migrate any music/videos I had on the phone's internal storage. Seeing that I had plenty of leftover space, I decided to put on some more music/videos, but according to the phone it seems that these new files are being copied over to the phone's storage as opposed to the SD card.

So I figured I'd have to use the same 'migrate data' operation, only to find that this option was nowhere to be found. Instead, I found this option located on the phone's internal storage, where I was prompted to move the files from the SD card back to the phone, which isn't at all what I intended. But given the current observed behavior, I humored the operation, and checked back to the SD card options upon completion. There, I found the data migration option once again.

Given what I've observed thus far, it seems that in order to utilize the vast amounts of space on this SD card as additional app and music/video storage, I must migrate the latter all at once, which more or less limits the amount of space I can use to whatever free space I can create on the phone's internal storage.

Is there some other way to move files from my phone's internal storage over to the formatted SD card without going through this terribly restrictive migration process?

My Sonim XP8800 (not a common device, I know) pairs via Bluetooth to other devices (such as my Amazon Echo) with no problem, plays audio from phone calls, any media source, etc... No matter what I try it will not play audio through the stereo (Kenwood DPX303MBT) in my truck. I've tried changing settings, resetting the device, using different audio apps (Youtube, Pandora, Spotify, etc...) and no matter what, the device pairs, and the data (Pandora channel, song title, etc...) shows on the stereo display, but I get no audio from the stereo or the phone. My other phone, an old Samsung Note plays audio through the same stereo with no issue. I called tech support for both the phone and the stereo to try to resolve the issue to no avail. I did find out from Kenwood that the stereo is running Bluetooth version 3.0-not sure if that means anything. Any suggestions?

My beautiful, favorite cat, Joy Noelle, is sick.

Yesterday I happened to be passing by one of the rooms that has a litter box--and she was peeing on the mat, not in the box. I just stood there gaping at her; she never potties outside a cat box.

She finished peeing and sat down a few inches away. She didn't know I was behind her. I called out to her, "Joy...Joy Noelle?", and she looked at me and groaned "mmmmmmm"

I scooped her up and took her to my room; she was moaning the whole time. The minute my live-in helper got home I told her; I was almost in tears.

We had both noticed things recently, like being able to feel her hip-bones. We had made an appointment with my vet--who my helper used to work for--for her regular checkup next Tuesday. But we called and they said to bring her in right away.

My vet gave her 100cc of fluids (she was dehydrated), and drew blood and urine for a full lab panel. He sent us home with antibiotics, and will call when the lab results are in. We're all thinking renal failure...but maybe we're wrong, and it's just a little bladder infection.

Here's a recent pic of her sleeping on her favorite piece of furniture: me!



Please send prayers, healing thoughts, whatever your thing is, our way. I've had her since she was ≈5 weeks old, and she'll turn 15 in October. I adore her...

Really pleased with my new dual SIM Moto G7 Plus although I have a question with regard to the fingerprint access.
When I activate the phone with my fingerprint it will then require my pin number before reaching the home screen, on my previous G5 Plus the fingerprint would take me to my home screen.
Is this an additional security measure or could it be setup without the pin number as well?
I have spent sometime trying!

So I got the phone to a store (not official HTC service) to change the screen and the back glass because I was quite careless with it. The guy changed them but I have some problems with it. First of all the mic during the calls and the voice recorder app doesn't work (the other mics work) and the most important, after dropping it again after the repair the phone charges only slowly and also the pc doesn't recognize it anymore. I will open it sooner or later to see if there are some cables that are loose but what would potentially need to be changed on the inside for the pc to recognize it again. Thank you friends!!

I have an LG Aristo 2 . My problem is when I pull up my emails it only show and keeps 2 days worth. The rest just disappear after 2 days on the screen? I have no idea how to keep e mails for more than 2 days. They automatically just go to trash???
How do I keep my emails on my INBOX screen unless I choose to delete them..THXS

Hi
Me and my wife have a problem with synchronizing our gmails. We get no notifications. I have a galaxy s10 and she has a s9. The app is updated and I have checked all the settings but with no luck. Do others also experience this? Is it a problem with the app. Or...?
Thanks

hello people , I would like to ask about if the note 9 is encrypted by default or should I enable it .. ? and If recovery data after hard rest done ,, will it appear or the data will be encrypted ( I am askin because my mobile is stolen ) thanks in advance <3

So, on my note 8 I am having an issue where I am dropping bluetooth in the middle of calls, regardless of what BT device I'm using. They suggested I backup with Smart Switch, kinda like in old rooting/rom days when you could backup a rom, i guess .. ish.

So, If the problem remains, they send me an extended warranty replacement, but at least i have the backup. I hate having to redo EVERYthing. Here goes nothing.

Good afternoon or evening,



I would like to know if it is possible to move PDF documents or files that you have downloaded onto your phone. These items are currently under the following section of my S10+. My Files >> Documents / Downloads.

Is it possible to move these files from this section into a folder on the home screen. I just hate the fact i need to go to the above location each time i want to get to one of my pdf documents or to search my phone for them.

Again any help much appreciated.

Kind Regards

I want to connect my 10.1' Tab A (2016) (micro USB) to Ethernet.
Is there an adapter for this or am I only able to connect via Wi-Fi?

My smaller Samsung tablet (2017) has USB C so am able to easily connect via USB C to RJ 45 adapter.

Thank you!

I'm trying to use my Honor 5X to play music through my car's speakers. I bought a micro-sd card and put it in my Honor 5X, thanks to GamerCore's very helpful instructions found on this forum. I was even able to upload music to the micro-sd card by following a thread elsewhere on this forum.

Unfortunately, there's no music coming out of my car's speakers no matter what cable (AUX or USB) I use to connect my Honor 5X to the car. I'm thinking that the problem lies with the Honor 5X automatically thinking that anything plugged into the AUX hole is a headset. Am I on the right track, and if so, is there anything I can do to stop this from happening?

I would appreciate if someone can someone can give me advice on the best way to learn Programming Android Apps.

I started learning Android Studio and know my way around to do simple apps but I would like to learn more complex apps including linking to a msql database.

Should I rather learn Java Programming first (as my knowledge is very basic) before continuing with Android Studio or should I just learn as I go along.

Also is it better to learn Kotlin or Java as I have no experience in either.

Thank you
