[NOT A BUG] Power off restarts the box


  • This is an issue with u-boot, you have to ask the box manufacturer to fix this.

    Thanks, what should I ask for exactly? Power off and suspend are working from the Android side.
    My workaround is to restart to internal and power off from Android.

  • Android might not properly power off the box. To test, you can

    • measure the current the box draws when in Android "on" and "off"
    • install a server on Android and try to connect to the "off" box

    My cheap OTT box simple switches off HDMI output when I push the "off" button...

  • mmpp: Unfortunately in my case when I power it off, the led in front of the box goes red for a second and then it goes back to blue and LE restarts from SD, therefore it stays in power on.
    I have reached out to the seller to see if there's a firmware upgrade.
    It's a kind of strange box what I have, I haven't seen many s905x with Wireless AC around yet.

  • I have returned the NPET box and boutght a Zenbox Z11 Pro, which apparently has the same characteristics but it does turn off.
    Thank you for all your responses.
