    Hey Jeff, just picked one up and all is working. Question: How can I screen mirror my Android phone to the Tbox plus?

    • @TechnicallyJeff
      @TechnicallyJeff  Před 2 měsíci

      Honestly that's not something I've tried. I just run the apps directly on the Tbox Plus. I think if you contact support@autokitcarplay.com you can get carbitlink which I believe enables what you're looking for. I'm not 100% though.

  • @volcalstone
    @volcalstone Před 4 měsíci

    Thanks for all of your videos on this. I just picked it up using your code! It was only $145 total which I think is a great price for this. I've been using my Motorola M1 AA adaptor which I had since it first came out. In the past I've been using AAAD to force certain apps to show up on AA but the experience wasn't that great overall but it was free so I couldn't complain. 😊 I'm wanting to finally try a full Android box now. I basically want an Android tablet experience now and not rely on my phone so much.
    Question tho. So I'm assuming this has OTA updates? Are you having to manually update the firmware due to some beta features or so? I'm just a little confused with all of these updates. 😊

    • @TechnicallyJeff
      @TechnicallyJeff  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Nice! Yeah it's a great price and will definitely give you the tablet experience. Regarding the updates, I am testing a few with newer features, but yes it has OTA updates using an app that's installed on it called FOTA Upgrade.

    • @volcalstone
      @volcalstone Před 4 měsíci

      @@TechnicallyJeff Thanks. Yeah I could've gotten the box on Amazon for next day shipping but I decided to support your channel instead plus it was cheaper. =) Now just the waiting period of up to 2 weeks or so. I do wish these China based companies do have US offices to store these at for faster shipping but hey saving money is saving money I guess. Amazon would've been around $200 and I just didn't want to spend that much on something that could be outdated in 2 more months who knows. =) I just need it fast enough to do most of the media things. I'm not planning to put games directly on it other then using Gamepass to stream games so I can't wait. Direct games will probably be emulation games if anything vs modern titles.
      Yes please let us know if any valid firmware that we should be on. I haven't used Nova launcher in a while and still have my Nova Prime I believe. All I want is split screen and I'm happy.

    • @TechnicallyJeff
      @TechnicallyJeff  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Nice yeah this should work well for you. Thanks for supporting my channel. One of the reasons I worked with the company I did is because they provided at a better price than anywhere else I found and they have great customer service too. I know a lot of people have had issues with Amazon sellers not providing good service and you want to make sure that you have good service with a device like this.

      Hey Brian - yeah I was a little apprehensive at first, but since it came from them directly I decided to try it out. It has been working great for me. I'm really glad to have the Split-Screen Presets again. An official update will come eventually, but they didn't know when. They did say this update will receive official updates OTA when they are available.

    Thanks for your extensive video, here are a few questions from the Netherlands, Europe, I have had the box for a few days now, very satisfied so far. When I start my car, the system also starts automatically, so far, no problems. But every time during startup, all apps are mixed up. Is there a way to save your sorted apps? The box comes with a short USB cord as standard, but if I use a longer cord, the box does not work properly for me. then the screen goes black, is this a known problem? thank you in advance for your feedback.

    • @TechnicallyJeff
      @TechnicallyJeff  Před 4 měsíci +1

      I'm glad to help. Regarding the sorted apps, it should keep your apps in the order you set them on the home screen. Mine (and others) don't change unless you change the resolution or screen zoom. Yours change each time? As for the cable, it needs to be a high quality data cable. Some cables out there are not very high quality or don't transmit data well and won't work reliably. But a high quality data cable can be used. I've used it many times with a 3 foot cable.

    • @korkser
      @korkser Před 2 měsíci

      @TechnicallyJeff which cord should I get? And how do I know which cords are high quality data transfer-able? I've been looking for one for a while on Amazon, couldn't find one that works better than the one the box came with

    Hi Jeff. Do you happen to encounter problem with CZcams? Since day one. CZcams always straightly goes into full screen mode and my player can't seems to exit the fullscreen mode, be it by back button or that bottom right icon. Android 12

    • @TechnicallyJeff
      @TechnicallyJeff  Před 2 měsíci

      Hmm I have not had that issue. Try this - go into the settings and find the software build number and tap it a bunch of times to enable developer mode. Then find developer settings and find "min-width" and set it to 700 px. See if that fixes it.

  • @prevailz1
    @prevailz1 Před 6 měsíci

    Is this the same update that they quickly removed? The update is great but i wish splitscreen shortcuts would work on other launchers i still cant get them to work, would also be nice when activating the split screen you can get to the app list to pick an app instead loading them first to show up in the recent list.

    • @TechnicallyJeff
      @TechnicallyJeff  Před 6 měsíci

      I don't think there was one that was removed. I updated mine in October and it wasn't this one. I agree though, split screen shortcuts with other launchers would be nice and the app list.

    So when I use CarPlay on my tbox I go into my Bluetooth setting and click the tbox on my iPhone which automatically launches CarPlay. Is there another way? Maybe in a newer version? I wish I didn’t have to pick my phone up at all to launch CarPlay and it did it automatically or just pushing the button in the tbox. But I always have to go to Bluetooth every time and choose it that way.

    • @TechnicallyJeff
      @TechnicallyJeff  Před 6 měsíci +1

      To use Carplay on the tbox plus you just tap the autokit app and it loads it up. You can set autokit to automatically load when the Tbox powers up too in the autokit settings.

    Hi Jeff, great video. I would like to use a launcher but also use the floating point option for split screen and the other features. Does this work with this latest update? And what would be the difference between a North American version and an European firmware version?

    • @TechnicallyJeff
      @TechnicallyJeff  Před 6 měsíci +1

      With launchers the floating button works but for split screen, you go to task manager and then tap the icon above the app and tap split screen. As for NA vs Europe, I'm honestly not sure.

    • @ArtiePenguin1
      @ArtiePenguin1 Před 6 měsíci +1

      The firmware depends on the regional hardware of your TBox. European models support different cellular bands compared to North American models.

FYI you can still actually do it from the app switcher (which wasn't working before if you had a custom launcher but ideally this would be from an icon). What I really had about the interface is the fact that you need the "floating bubble" to go back, and open the app switcher.. I really wish this was just on the main interface, maybe holding the home button for a second should open a fly out with back and app switch on it.

      Hi Jeff, awesome info thanks. If I get a sim card, will the Hotspot for other devices be as good as using a dedicated Hotspot device? Can I run my laptop and download movies and games comfortably or just as fast?

    Thanks Jeff for all the info! I just got my own device, but I'm having trouble getting android auto to work, the "tablet" works fine. What is the right way to share internet connection from a mobile phone? Is there a setting I have wrong?

    • @TechnicallyJeff
      @TechnicallyJeff  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Glad to help! Usually people enable the "mobile hotspot" on their cell phone and connect to that wifi on the Tbox Plus for internet. For Android Auto, if you have the new firmware I shared, you'd enable wifi and hotspot at the same time in the settings like showed in the video and then tap the "autokit" app and it should load into android auto.
