whacked Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 X5 128AI / Android 11 V20230815 / 5.0.937 No update message appeared, nor is there an OTA update available thru the Settings>Update Menu. I tried rebooting, didn't help though. The X5 Super Sport however did show a message that there was an Update available. The SS is Android 13 so I figured it was a false message. I did try the Update though, just to be sure. It did not load, but instead gave an error message about a Timestamp_Payload error. This was expected, but the X5 SS did show the Update Message and there was an Update showing as Available in the Update menu and is still showing as Available. While the X5 128AI / Android 11 does not show an Update available, nor will it find one, including with a reboot performed. The device has been powered on about 20 minutes now and is set on Home Screen. I will leave the device powered on to watch for any change.

jawjahpeach Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 (edited) Update showed Preparing system update... for over an hour. I exited and started over twice, letting it run 45 minutes the first try and 25 minutes the second. On the third attempt, it finally successfully downloaded and installed after about 10 minutes. Internet connection and speed are good. Edited September 24 by jawjahpeach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phar_Lap9 Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 I never have any issues with updates since I began using Techdoctoruk's 2 apps - App Killer and Cache Cleaner. I run APP KILLER at the end of each streaming session and Cache Cleaner about once a week. My conclusion is this - IPTV & Streaming is a 'weakest link in the chain' technology (still) and you get more consistent results running your box lean and mean. Good luck folks and happy streaming!

I just have my powerkey definition set to "shutdown" and it takes an extra minute to power up, and never have any issues. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
