Oh and I've a nice fat 1TB drive currently formatting in it too...
Forgot to ask, are you having any kind of issue with duplicate channels?
After i scanned i've got 4 or 5 copies of certain channels in some cases even more.
I've got 7 ITV duplicates for instance lol.
Going to have to figure out the channel editor and maybe see if i can arrange them in an order like ***. -
Hmmmmm yes strangely I also factory reset the A3, did a supposed full wipe only to find that all the files I'd previously downloaded were still there and when I re installed XBMC it had all its previous settings and add ons, so much for a complete wipe eh? So I still have the glitches, I still have a 720p limit on XBMC and I still can't use WiFi to stream on XBMC.
This is all rather bizarre........
Agreed it is pretty strange. Hopefully they'll release an update to fix the bugs sooner rather than later.
Haven't gotten around to putting a HDD in mine yet i'll have to order one.
I've got 4 or 5 HDD's lying around but all are 3.5. Sods law :48_002: -
Tbh I expected issues, it took a while for the Alien 2 box to get sorted out too now running Opena.TV E2 the box is about as near perfect as you could expect it to work when you consider the nature of the software. Amiko isn't Samsung or LG and let's be honest, its rare a product from them heads to the shelves in fully working order but something about yours doesn't seem quite right compared to mine. Fingers crossed a factory reset is the cure.
Good news and bad news. I did a factory reset and now my channels are working but i'm having the issues you are with glitching etc. Guess thats something Amiko will address in a future update.
Weirdly though when i did the reset all that seems to have happened is the reset removed XBMC and a couple of other apps i'd installed. It kept the android version i upgraded to when i got the box.
I've got no idea how to roll back the android version.Unsure if it was the reset fixed it or the fact that this time around when i ran setup i selected LAN. Last time i ran setup i selected WIFI and only after id set the box up activated my LAN. -
Nope fella, still glitches tho I have found for some reason slightly less when using WiFi than Ethernet. Have no issues using same settings on my other 2 boxes (Alien 2 and Evo Xfinity) but it isn't anything as bad as you're experiencing. I'd try a factory wipe and reset if I was you, that's going to be my next hope at finding a fix as my previous experience with Android is updates don't always go to plan when installing over older versions.
One other thing I have noticed is that XBMC Gotham 13.1 doesn't work properly for me on WiFi, I can download data of the streams from the Addons as in updating them but no stream data or streams are available yet as soon as I swop back to Ethernet they're all suddenly there.
Its all very odd and somewhat half baked atm.
Weirdly enough XBMC is the one thing I've had no problem with. I didn't upgrade it though, I've been using the Frodo version (12.2 I think ) that came preinstalled on the box. The add-ons I've tried in XBMC have worked perfectly.
Guess i''ll have to go with your idea of a factory reset tomorrow and see if that fixes it. If not i guess I'll be stuck with a lemon.
Annoying as hell because the actual build quality of the box and the remote control are amazing. The air mouse takes some getting used to though. I won't be going near that when I get home from a night out lol -
Well to be honest, It is a new devise so there are bout to be some bugs. Contact amiko about the problems your having. Im still waiting for my Amiko Alien 2+ box to come.
My opinion is there shouldnt be any bugs at all. People have been testing these boxes for months so i would expect Amiko to have ironed out any bugs before releasing the final product.

Had this box for a few days. Great box except that I get constant glitches when running Oscam. No glitching when using same setup on Alien 2 E2 or Evo Xfinity so not a server issue. Anyone else having the same issues with one of these as I appreciate that it could be a firmware issue with it being so new bit also it could be the box is faulty.
Hi mate, just wondering if you've managed to sort out the problem? I'm having the same kind of problem except 90% of the time i cant even unscramble my channels.
If i boot the box i get whatever channel i was last watching for a minute or so but the picture is glitchy slow motion and the audio is out of sync.After a minute or so it scrambles again.
Also are you having an issue with the spark store? If i try to open the spark store while using wifi i get a 'network exception' error message then it crashes. It opens fine though when i use a wired connection. Wondering if its a common fault or if i've got a dodgy box.
