Hi,
I'm wondering if I can use the ir-remote with my ~ 3 year old Sony KDL32-W4000 TV?
Or are only Samsung TVs supported?
And will the ir-Remote be built-in in all country version?
Because I remember the ir-led remote was only present in the UK version but not in the Austrian version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7
There are 2 built-in apps that work with the IR Blaster, one is Peel, which is a 3rd party app (not Samsung). Both apps support many TV and set-top cable box manufacturers. Also, support is usually not model specific. Manufacturers use a set of IR codes that usually apply for many models, over more than one model year. Sony is a major manufacturer, and 3 years old is pretty recent. so I'd guess it would be supported.
My only gripe about the IR Blaster is that the range is very limited. My living room is pretty small, and I have to actually sit forward on my couch with my arms extended all the way, for my set-top cable box to be within range of the IR Blaster (maybe 5-6 feet).
Peel seems to work for my ancient Sony tube TV. But doesn't work for the analog to digital OTA converter so it's no use. The other app works for my Vizio hdtv. I haven't used it enough to comment on range, but I don't like the channel selection for OTA channels. I live on the border between two states and it only lists OTA channels in my state.

They should start a website where they have a database with compatible TVs.
Like Logitech used to have for their Harmony products.
I have a Set top box (it is from Cisco), I don't really think it would be supported. Most of these apps only have US and UK Set top box programming. I am in India
Use of the TV remote is pretty useless for me since I have to use the Box' remote to switch channels. and Unlike the Logitech remotes, the Note 8.0 doesn't even have an IR learner port. Is it possible to make the tablet learn the codes from a remote.
If it helps, I also have an IR receiver which has a 3.5 MM jack at the end.Can it be used for this purpose?
(I don't think so, because the 3.5mm jack on the note8 is out, whereas the reciever will try to send in the signal)

I have a Sony smart TV in my bedroom but somehow my girlfriend has managed to lose the remote. I live in a one bedroom flat, I dont know how that is possible. Im really hoping the IR blaster and apps are able to control my TV. I'm too lazy to pull every peice of furnature out to try and find that darn thing. Especially since every available surface seems to be covered in her clothes or make up.
The IR is kind of useless to me because I regularly sit too far away from my equipment and the IR extender/repeater I have isn't translating the IR signals properly.
What I would hope is that there is some other 3rd party app that would work with the IR on this device so I wouldn't have to set up Peel or the WatchOn just to make a quick ad-hoc connection to a friend's TV.
These apps focus their functionality more as media portal apps instead of just a plain old remote control replacement app, which is what I'm looking for.
Anyone else got this one:

those 10" units are known to have a space between the display and the actual touch, resulting in almost a 3D / depth-like effect of the stuff onscreen (when watched from an angle, which happens usually where the driver or passenger are looking at it, no one is looking straight perpendicular to the screen). Is this also the case with this unit?
Is it known under different names? I’d love to find a thread’s talking about software options. Anyway, I don’t really notice any kind of a 3-D effect, if you look at it from an extreme angle, it does look like there is a small gap, but I definitely don’t feel it when pressing on the glass. It’s a beautiful display, a lot nicer than I would have expected.
Bluetooth seems not working in the 20190428 update.
Tried update and clean install, neither Bluetooth worked. The rest so far so good.

yes, the display is beautiful, very good contrast and color saturation.
i've seen one installed in a car few days ago, and the first thing i noticed (was sitting in the passenger seat) was the depth effect. This effect is not present in all other units 7", 8" or 9". You could see it more in the launcher main screen (it was an Ownice), less in FM radio app or mediaplayer, navi, etc...
another thing that i didn't like was that for my car i had to cancel the airbag warning connector since the unit comes with own mask and for VW/Skoda the mask that is used for 8 or 9" units has a airbag connector. The Ownice 10.2" did not. Also an issue is the huge screen at night with white background apps which even at lowest brightness they still blow your eyes off
I may buy the dsp version soon from ali express.
I need to find out if the mcu is an MTCE first, as hal9k will be developing his rom for px6 mtce, and i wouldnt be suprised if malaysk adds it too

to clarify this, i suspect the ownice i saw had that 2.5D+nano screen, because my 10.2 dasaita has no depth issue whatsoever on its ips screen.
reg. airbag warning, it's just not visible, you need to take it out from the old cover together without unplugging it and just place it behind the screen. it won't give errors but it's not visible either...

also no issues on my IPS screen either! Great unit for what it is. Of course there are little issues here and there like all units.
I rooted mine so I could freeze apps I don't need and really clean everything up

Do you have advices to root dasaita px6 ?
Thank you
Waiting infos on root aswell
What about fastboot? Can it do 2s boot? and sleep with <1mA low power?
Has anyone looked at (somehow) adding HD Radio?
My Rav4 HU has this and I've found it to be much better at receiving a signal (where I live anyway). I'm looking at a PX6 dasaita unit on Ali (also), but they all have the 6686 radio chip, where the 6688 radio chip has HD Radio included. I wonder if the 6688 couldn't be somehow retrofitted? Yes of course there would have to be pin compatibility etc, has anyone looked at that by chance?
I'm so tempted to just buy one and say scr*w the HD Radio... but sadly it's about the only thing I use the HU for! it would be hard to give that up as I almost always have the screen off
Cheers, they sure do look nice, would love to have one. Not sure if it would suit my needs though, when all said and done.

Do you also have carplay wire/wireless chip on unit? did you see if that is able to charge your iphone with carplay on?
ALso have you driven longer than 2 hrs? with this unit ? I had PX5 and it used to reset over using it continuously for 2hr or more. and also PX5 was not charging iPhone while carplay was on.
If possible could any one update me on this?

It does charge while doing CarPlay because it’s wireless so I just plug it into my charger. Works totally fine for hours on end. I’ve got an annoying bug with VLC thinking it doesn’t have delete permissions unless I manually grant it twice, but that’s unrelated. Also a bug with my iphones voice to text requires me to type a character first before it’ll pick up mic input, but I think it’s an iPhone issue.

So far looks good then.
I do not find any description on link you got on amazon, specifying about wireless carplay, i tried contacting Iris he replied that there is option to get carplay wire/wireless on PX6. I ask him to send me link to product he is yet to reply.
Did you have to specify Dasaita to get you wireless carplay? or its just standard now?

I could be mistaken, but I think it's wireless. I hadn't asked for anything in particular, so it might be standard now.
I have dasaita - car play works on wire plus you have to have additional box/device ( can buy it in bundle with head unit). When iPhone connected through it - CarPlay works seamlessly and your phone is charging.
One more thing - you need to have application for CarPlay too.

The good:
Attractive design and great build quality.
Top-end hardware and impeccable performance.
Lots of connectivity options.
Dual ESS ES9018 Hi-Fi DAC.
DTS Listen and Dolby Audio support.
Android 9 Pie.
The bad:
No Netflix or Amazon Prime Video in HD.
32-bit version Android OS.
The UI doesn’t match the design of the box.
Much more expensive than the GT-King.
Being the first TV box to run on Amologic’s most powerful S922X processor, the Beelink GT-King has attracted a lot of attention, but also stirred a bit of controversy among its users. The beefy chipset may have helped the box become the new benchmark and performance king, but software-related issues with this new SoC. weren’t solved until recent updates. Fortunately, after the latest firmware upgrade, the GT-King is finally performing steadily as designed.
The recently released GT-King Pro is the upgraded version of the GT-King, and the latest addition to Beelink’s TV box lineup. The Amlogic S922X-H chipset (Hexa-core big.LITTLE CPU, Mali-G52MP6 GPU, 12nm manufacturing process) in the GT-King Pro is almost identical to the S922X inside the GT-King, the only difference being that the former has DTS Listen and Dolby Audio licenses. The Pro variant has a new metal case, a few more ports and most importantly, dual ESS ES9018 HiFi DAC which can drive headphones with an impedance of up to 600Ω.

Retail Packaging
The Beelink GT King Pro comes with refined retail packaging, the highlighted skull on the front of the black box looks extremely cool.
In addition to the GT-King Pro tv box itself, inside the box you’ll find a 18W DC Adapter, an HDMI cable, a remote and a user manual. The user manual offers instructions in many different languages: English, German, French, Chinese and Japanese.
Design and build
The GT-King Pro looks like a completely different device when lying side by side with the GT-King. With a more premium metal case and bright blue finish, the Pro variant has the form factor more of a mini PC rather than a TV box. Only the skull on the top side, which looks identical to the one on the famous Skull Canyon mini PC, reminds us of its relation to the GT-King model.
Audio performance is a major selling point of the GT-king Pro, so you can also find “DTS Listen” & “Dolby Audio” licenses on the top side.
On the box’s front side, you will find a black plastic bar, which looks very much like a display. Beelink’s brand slogan “Connect to a wonderful life” is marked here.
A slew of interfaces can be found on the GT-King Pro. The front plays host to an IR receiver, which works well with the stock remote coming with the box. There’s also a tiny LED indicator, which will light up in white when the box is booted.
The left and right sides play host to 4 USB ports (3 USB 3.0 ports, 1 USB 2.0 port with OTG), 1 SDXC card slot and some vents.
The back side of the box sports a DC-in port, an RS232 port, an HDMI 2.1 port, an Ethernet connector, and a 3.5mm audio jack. There’s also a beautiful red power button, just like the one found on some Beelink’s mini PCs.
The GT-King Pro measures 119mm x 119mm x 17.9mm and weighs 380g. The build quality is excellent. Not only does the box look extremely polished, but it also feels pretty sturdy， and may even survive some occasional falls.
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. The remote also comes with a 2.4GHz USB receiver, which seemed somewhat unnecessary at first. Then I realized that, with the receiver plugged in the GT-King pro, this remote can also be used as an air mouse, which is quite helpful when you use the box to browse webpages and do some productivity work.
The remote also supports voice control, and allows you to ask the Google Assistant to launch apps, play videos, mount web searches simply by saying “OK Google” followed by your command.
Setting it up
Setting up the Beelink GT-King Pro 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 seconds afterwards.
System & Apps
The Beelink GT-King Pro 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 are 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, USB Mounted storage and Network Storage.
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’ve shared my opinion in the GT-King review, and I have to say it again: Beelink should design a set of skins and wallpapers more in line with the design of the device. The ASUS ROG phone, the Xiaomi Black Shark phone, and the nubia Red Magic phone all have themes in line with their looks. Even though developing a skin completely different for one device may not be cost-efficient for a small operation like Beelink, adding a few wallpapers won’t be much of a difficulty.
Fortunately, the TV box allows you to set other pictures as wallpapers. I’ve just found some Skull images to customize the GT-King Pro.
Like all Beelink tv boxes, the GT-King Pro doesn’t come loaded with bloatware, but there are some preinstalled apps. Besides the stock Google Play Store, Chrome 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 tablet-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 I need to mention is that the GT-King Pro runs on the 32-bit version of Android 9 Pie. There are some apps which won’t run properly on the device, but it is not a concern for average TV box users.
Performance
The Beelink GT-King Pro is powered by the all new Amlogic S922X-H chipset, which contains 4 cores of Cortex A73 clocked at 2.21GHz, 2 cores of Cortex-A53 clocked at 1.8GHz, and a beefy Mali-G52MP6 GPU clocked at 846MHz. There’s also 4GB LPDDR4 RAM under the hood to handle multi-tasking.
In Antutu V7 benchmark test, the GT-King Pro scored 127,833.
In Geekbench 4 CPU test, the GT-King Pro notched 1,462 in single-core, and 4,072 in multi-core.
In the PCMark 8 Work 2.0 test, the GT-King Pro snatched 5,901, very close to the score of the mighty Nividia Shield TV.
In the more graphics-focused 3DMark test, the GT-King Pro scored 1,582 in Slingshot.
The Ice Storm Unlimited returned the GT-King Pro with a score of 22,753.
In the Antutu video tester benchmark, the GT-King Pro scored 1094, out of the 30 tested items, only one video codec is not supported.
As can be seen from the scores above, the GT-King Pro slightly edged the GT-King in all benchmarks. But the differences weren’t significant, and probably would not be felt when translated into real-life experiences. The GT-King Pro still offers less horsepower than top Android smartphones and tablets, but it has very few competitions in the world of Android TV boxes. Probably the only box more powerful is the Nvidia Shield TV, but it is more marketed as a gaming console and priced much higher than the GT-King Pro.
When it comes to day-to-day TV box tasks, the GT-King Pro is more than capable. Even when the HDMI output was set at 4K, I still experienced almost no hiccups, lags or delays.
As a pure media streamer, the GT-King Pro does as well, if not better, than most competitions. I played many video clips of different formats in Kodi, the GT-King Pro never struggled with anything I threw at it. The GT-King Pro supports Dolby Vision, Advanced HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, and PRIME HDR, with the right videos and a nice TV, it is capable of delivering satisfying video playback experiences.
Streaming 4K videos in the YouTube TV app was also extremely smooth.
Unfortunately, although the GT-King Pro supports Widevine L1, you won’t be able to stream HD videos in Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, the highest resolution you can choose is 540P. Looks like Beelink still hasn’t got the licenses from those two streaming services yet. This might be a deal-breaker for many devoted Netflix fans.
The GT-King Pro is by no means just a streaming box. It has more than enough power for most of the graphic-intense games you can find in Google Play Store. I tested Asphalt Extreme, Defender III, Snowboard Party and World of Tennis, all of them ran smoothly at maximum settings. But a joystick is necessary if you want to fully enjoy gaming with this TV Box.
Browsing the web was also a nice experience. With multiple image-heavy webpages loaded in Chrome, and the box remained smooth and responsive.
The device is obviously designed as an entertainment hub, just like the Nvidia Shield TV, but it’s not impossible to use it for some lightweight productivity tasks. With a keyboard and the right apps, it is easy to write Emails, and even edit some photos and documents on the GT-King Pro. But I would not recommend anyone to use this as your main PC, unless your computing needs are very basic.
Audio
One of the major improvements on the GT-King Pro is the audio performance. The dual ESS ES9018 HiFi DAC offers DNR up to 135dB, –120dB THD+N, and enables the box to support headphones and speakers with high impedance (up to 600Ω). I plugged in my Panasonic HD605N headphones and listened to a lot of music during the 7-day break (China National Day), the sound coming from the GT-King Pro was significantly better than the sound from my Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
The S922X-H processor has DTS Listen and Dolby Audio licenses, and the box is compatible with 7.1 audio systems. Although the SONOS Playbase speaker in my living room doesn't support DTS decoding, my non-audiophile ears still heard the differences. The GT-King Pro offered a much broader soundstage and better separation compared to average TV boxes. If you have an audio system certified by Dolby, you will be able to enjoy even more discrete surround sound from DTS-encoded movies.
Connectivity
The GT-King Pro offers even more connectivity options than the GT-King. It supports 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band Wi-Fi. Although without an exposed antenna, the device still has solid reception, it could pick up more Wi-Fi hotspots than most of my other TV boxes and mini PCs. The Ethernet jack also comes in handy when you want more stable connection via a cable.
There’s also Bluetooth 4.1 on board to take care of local data transfer and connecting with audio and input devices. I connected the GT-King Pro with the Creative SoundBlaster Roar Pro speaker and they worked fine together. Although Android 9 naturally supports high-quality codes such as aptX, aptX HD and LDAC, this TV box can only stream audio in SBC and AAC, which is clearly a little disappointing, given that audio is such a major selling point of the device. One thing worth noting is that, if the box is connected to my Harman Kardon Aura speaker before it is shut down, it will boot up automatically afterwards. It is quite annoying since I must make sure the Aura is turned off earlier than the King Pro. I’ve also experienced similar issues with the Vifa Helsinki speaker, but Beelink promised to solve this problem in the next firmware upgrade.
The HDMI 2.1 port on the GT-King Pro can output videos up to [email protected], and should support most TV sets, monitors and projectors. In comparison, the Nvidia Shield TV and many other TV boxes are still using HDMI 2.0 or HDMI 1.4 ports.
The box comes with 64GB built-in storage, which is plenty of room for apps, games and media files. If that’s not enough, the SDXC card slot has no problem reading my 128GB Samsung card, and the reading and writing speeds were decent, too. In addition, the 4 USB ports support external USB storages of up to 4TB. Data transmission was reasonably fast with the three USB 3.0 ports, as I was able to play high bite rate 4K videos from my mobile drive smoothly. In comparison, the Nvidia Shield TV only comes with 16GB built-in storage, no memory card slot, and only two USB ports.
Verdict
Priced at $139.99, the Beelink GT-King Pro is not cheap. But its beautiful metal case, impeccable performance and support for high-quality audio can still make most buyers feel like they are getting more than they have paid for.
Gaming enthusiasts may find the Nvidia Shield TV more appealing, as it has a much more powerful GPU under the hood, and even supports streaming PC games from the box. For average users who want more than just a video streamer, the GT-King Pro is a solid and more affordable alternative to the Shield TV, and even betters the latter in certain areas. But if metallic build and audio are not things that you care about, the original GT-King, which costs $30 less, will be a more sensible choice for you.
Update: after a firmware upgrade on Oct, 10th, the auto-boot issue has been solved.
The Ugoos AM6 is inferior in all departments, and they even dare to price that device higher than the GT-King Pro, what a joke.
This box is temping but without full resolutions of 4K Dolby Vision, HDR on Netflix and Prime video it's a no go for me. I would mainly use the box for streaming so limited gaming but regular Android OS plus covering all the 4K and Dynamic range standards is oh so close. Even has the Shield beat with YouTube 4k support.

The shell is all metal, nowhere for the eyes to light up.
Is the King Pro it capable of bitstreaming DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD? I've tried the official Kodi and also the build in Qudi (in the Beelink App Store), but it didn't work. Just to clarify, I'm talking about the steamer outputting the audio signal and the AV Receiver will decode the audio (the receiver will display DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD Logo).
If so, what are the right settings to achieve it?
Hi. I really like this box and am seriously considering it. However, the netflix issue is holding me back at the moment. I have looked around an saw some solutions with custom roms etc. but I would like for it to work out of the box. Does anyone know if Beelink is actually working on getting this done?
Hello Friends:
(1) Does this box come pre-rooted (root available) from the manufacturer? I like to install AdAway, which requires root as well as a few other tweaks.
(2) Will Nova Launcher work on this box? My concern is 32-bit Android Pie and if it will work.
Thank you.
Maximum External Hard Drives Capacity is 4tg, but what append if I put an wd hd of 5tg??
Or is there an solution to use an 5tg?
Beelink GT-King Pro , s922x h frecuencia inferior
Siendo exactamente igual a la que mostráis mi "Beelink GT-King Pro" "SN: SA9HH ......" le paso "Aida64" y dice en Arquitectura de núcleo:
2xARM Cortex-A53 @ 1800MHz
4x ARM Cortex-A73 @ 1704MHz
Rango de reloj CPU 500- 1800MHz
Estas frecuencias tan bajas es por qué me han vendido una falsificación?
o por qué necesita una custom ROM?
Gracias

I don't think they will land a deal with nexflix any time soon.

Hello，
1. In the latest firmware, we have added a ROOT switch button for GT-King and GT-King Pro. You can choose whether to turn on ROOT yourself.
2.Nova Launcher can be used normally
