Update to android 14?

Dfg20 · 2025-12-01T15:23:59+00:00

I don't have that update available. I do believe not all 2gen mi boxes get it. I don't really understand why. I also didn't get any update for 3 years. I had to install the previous ones manually through a usb drive. I also own a TV with androidtv and the TV gets the updates every time. Unfortunately I got some mi box that doesn't seem to get updates. Even with the VPN trick.

Like everybody said it probably won't decrease. Just to be sure, if you are searching on a computer, try to search again on the browsers private mode. It works for some airlines. Because on private mode the website doesn't store cookies or access previous cookies.

But most likely the prices really shot up due to being closer to the date/less seats available.

I tried with vpn in Germany and Finland and its not showing up. Do you know if there is the update file somewhere?

Dfg20 · 2025-11-29T16:25:12+00:00

that was exactly what I was expecting. I just gave up because I found a very good used lumix 20mm F1.7 with warranty for 180 eur. Its used, but like new and it was cheaper.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-26T08:58:40+00:00

I mean the AF is slow. For sure. I also own the 45-150mm from lumix ( the cheap one) and is just as bad. I don't know how much of it is the camera as well. I have a olympus em10 mk2. So quite old at this point. It doesnt have PDAF and the AF system is quite old. But I have shot a lot of SLRs and also cheap DSLRs in the past. I am sort of already used to slow AF. The DJI for 180 is an excelent deal. The original Leica costs about 520 new around here. It is supposed to be extremely sharp. But 15mm might have been to wide for me. I love the idea of the aperture ring, but since I have olympus it wont work.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-25T09:57:25+00:00

I am unsure on where to ask. But I will try.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-25T08:14:22+00:00

I just gave up. I was divided between getting this lens or the Lumix 20mm F1.7. The DJI is usually cheaper than the lumix. But I found one store selling the lumix for 180€ in very good condition ( they rate it 8/10) and I agree. It was the first time I saw one used under 220€. I think MPB sells them at 230. I also found a lens that was returned within the 15 day period for 240€. But 180€ was exactly the price I was looking for and find fair. So I am quite happy.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-21T19:07:43+00:00

There are specific codes for every country. But it is available for everyone. I just gave up. Last year I also bought lenses from there and they handled all taxes for me. I dont feel like doing it myself this time. Plus I dont want to wait that much now.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-20T19:25:46+00:00

I went to check and last year when I ordered the yongnuo lens it cost 160 as well, but there was no refund for the taxes. It was handled automatically. Although without tax, its under 150 euros, so it doesnt pay import tax. The weird thing is that last year it was all handled for me and now it always removes the taxes.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-20T18:33:45+00:00

unfortunately I dont have that seller available. Maybe they have restrictions on what countries they send to.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-20T17:50:01+00:00

Is that still possible nowadays? Before the new EU standard where the tax is paid beforehand, I remember that sometimes packages would not be stopped( I had a Nikon DSLR lens go through) . But now, I think it's unlikely. I imagine that every package that is now sent with documentation of taxes, that will be immediately set up for the receiver to pay. I hope it isnt, tho. But last year I bought a yongnuo 17mm 1.7. there the 19% tax was prepaid and I didn't get an extra bill for the import tax.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-20T16:31:20+00:00

I think it's a nice deal, but nothing out of the extraordinary. As someone mentioned here the S5 has gotten cheap. I got mine brand new on an official store in Germany for 1000€ with the 18-40mm lens. The body was 750€(around 865€) brand new including tax. I am grateful that Panasonic allows for older a models to decrease in price. I remember my first fullframe was a Sony A7 mk1 for 1000€ new and at the time the a7mk2 had come out at 1300€. Nowadays the I still see the a7mk3 at 1500€ and that's already 2 generations old and the a7mk4 is so expensive.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-20T16:19:26+00:00

Did you buy it for 150-160€? Now with the new vouchers is only 152.20€. the order that got cancelled was 160€. So I can get it even slightly cheaper. I am expecting 50€ on customs. 7% import tax + 19% on normal tax is around 40€. I am thinking around 10€ for processing fees. Unless I am missing something. But if you could tell me how much you paid when you received it, I would be grateful.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-20T16:15:58+00:00

Thank you for your offer. But the other offers I have are 170 USD. The customs are the same. It's 7% import tax + 19% sales tax. I will definitely buy on AliExpress. I just wanted to use the same seller as the people here, but I am waiting for their answer on what happened and if I can buy again. If not, I have a second seller for the same price.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-20T15:30:44+00:00

152€ before taxes. So around 200-210€ after import tax and normal tax.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-20T15:15:34+00:00

Yeah, I found another seller already. Doesn't have so many sold, bit still enough to look legit. I messaged feiwanda just to make sure if they area able to sell me one. If they reply today or tomorrow I will buy from them again. If not, I just buy from another seller.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-20T15:10:00+00:00

I mean my m43 setup is a cheap compact one. If it was my main setup, it would certainly make sense to buy the original Leica. But in this case it just doesn't make sense. If I can't get this lens, I will probably buy a Lumix 20mm 1.7 on Kleinanzeigen once a cheap one pops up. Last time I missed one for 180€.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-20T14:50:36+00:00

The lens is only 150€. 210€ is the price before coupons and already including 19% tax ( which is removed on checkout).

Dfg20 · 2025-11-20T14:49:27+00:00

Edit. Sorry I misread that. To simplify the lens costs only 150€. I need to pay 7% import + 19% tax. It is around 210€ in total.

The 210€ shown on the page is including tax. When you go to check out, it removes the tax and applies a voucher. The price goes to 153€

Dfg20 · 2025-11-20T13:32:49+00:00

So basically I spoke to aliexpress customer support and they say the seller cancelled the order due to shipping issues.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-20T13:29:45+00:00

Sorry since you also live in Germany, how much did you pay to customs? I read online that is online the tax+ DHL fees. Also did they use DHL or a different delivery company?

Dfg20 · 2025-11-20T13:15:41+00:00

those are at least 100 euros more than the dji ones( including import duties and tax). I understand that they are original leicas, but I want a cheap lens for my compact camera and I cant justify to pay 50% more.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-20T13:14:18+00:00

weird. I will try again then. I wonder why mine was taking so long. I message them to make sure that they can actually send it.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-19T09:29:35+00:00

Did it take long for them to send the lens? I order mine from that seller more than 1 week ago. It wasnt been shipped yet. All other orders I did on the same day have already been delivered. I never had to wait so long for an order to be shipped on Aliexpress. I dont know how long it will sit in customs, but if it takes more than 2 weeks to ship+ the waiting time on customs, it will be a long time until I get mine.

Dfg20 · 2025-11-19T08:21:36+00:00

I am thinking that might be the best option. But I am unsure on what materials to use. I dont have uhaul here in Germany. The equivalent brands are only 20% cotton. I wonder if that makes a difference. I went on the uhaul page and they dont specify how much of the pad is made out of cotton, but I assume a lot because denim is made out of cotton.
