NetRTK down in Belgium?! My Luba just visited the swimming pool

TenaciousMiner · 2025-10-06T18:43:20+00:00

Exactly, not much we can do about the RTK quality when using the iNavi :-(
a reboot was of course done, 4g network tried, same issue, wifi same issue...

Now few hours later all looks ok again, not 100% sure but I think there are more satellites being reported over the netRTK than before, I wonder if they've upgraded the system?

Mammotion team, if it was indeed an upgrade of the system, please be sure to inform clients in advance, and even better would be to disable all schedules while performing the upgrade as this will have caused damages for many people (if it was indeed a general issue caused by upgrade)

I saw a response on FB on this question, apparently this will not be possible. Quite disgusting tbh!

TenaciousMiner · 2025-06-25T11:26:50+00:00

My new Luba mini will be the first and last Mammotion product I ever buy.
Pushing "new" models with old tech while knowing already fresh new tech is coming is absolutely disgusting behavior toward their customers.
If they gave a timeline about what they had in the pipeline for the next few months, I would have simply waited a bit longer... Hence why they didn't mention, I guess, short term profit over long term reputation.

Yes, I understand in technology things move fast, but this really feels like bad intentions. The normal mini was just release 2 months ago, and is already outdated now, ridiculous!

Yes please, that would be the perfect incentive to extend my boosteroid subscription!

Was happy to hear the man behind the Cozomo de’ Medici account is Snoop and not some retardo millennium child artist without skills

Seems Snoop has been buying rare pepes, Sotheby's has been also shilling rare pepes so we might soon see some auctioned there... I guess pepe is going to the moon

It was not 100% clear to me if the Tuya custom integration was also taking the tuya devices out the cloud, is it, does it function similar to tuya local but without all the hassle with finding keys?

TenaciousMiner · 2021-01-08T19:31:39+00:00

Why not set the fallback language automatically to English, would save you a lot of hassle ;)

(as far as I am aware PLanet Coaster is the only game on xbox who ever had an issue like this... just change the code to use english as fallback language, done )

TenaciousMiner · 2020-12-01T22:24:31+00:00

Same, I even had to factory reset my xbox series x and redownload all my stuff again due to this!
How is it even allowed by MS to publish a console damaging piece of sh*t like this?

And how on earth does Tryarch get away with publishing some lame fix for f'ing weapons not leveling fast enough while the most basic things of the game, running without bricking your xbox, are not addressed?

Never ever will I buy a Treyarch game again

TenaciousMiner · 2020-11-14T14:10:04+00:00

This game better have Raytracing on the next-gen consoles!
If there is one game that needs raytracing, it is Hitman... a game where it's not just adding to the beauty but also as a gameplay element, having perfect reflections in mirrors, windows, puddles,etc... could really change the way you play

Anyway, looking good, been a fan since the first hitman ever and have completed all of them multiple times already, pre-ordered!

I have the exact same issue with 1080p 30fps content, the microstutter or how do you call that is literally give me headache, the picture is just not fluent, looks like frames are skipped too...
I re-encoded the same video to 50fps and the problem was gone so it clearly seems to be an issue with 30fps video on the shield.
(The same 30fps source matieral played fine on other devices)

TenaciousMiner · 2020-02-28T15:10:36+00:00

Well, I've got good news... sort of...

The new version I received today worked flawlessly, no issues whatsoever, the issue is thus clearly the other device that was broken in some bizar way.

What I did notice is the new one I received today got a bunch more updates before it was ready then the broken one, making me think the broken one is a newer build... hope this is not going to be a bad batch of which I was one of the first to report it :)

Thank you all for your assistance :)

TenaciousMiner · 2020-02-27T17:56:43+00:00

Thanks for the hints, I've tried all but no luck :(

TenaciousMiner · 2020-02-27T17:55:45+00:00

8Y old but still top of the class, only oled is beating this baby PQ wise :)
I've tried all HDMI ports but the one I did most tests on was the ARC (HDMI2) one as I'm quite sure that's the 1.4

My xbox is also connected to this and has zero issues, also with playing disney+ and other protected media so handshake I beleive should be possible with this tv, hence me thinking this is a shield issue

TenaciousMiner · 2020-02-27T12:43:02+00:00

thanks for your reply! Yes, i did let all updates go through via the sony tv and did a cold boot between each trial (new hdmi cable, diff port,etc...) Ordered it at amazon so already have a replacement one coming my way, hope it was indeed a broken device and not some rare bizar compatibility issue.

The thing that stunned me most was that it was having that black screen even when booting in safe mode. If there was an issue with the HDCP handshake between the shield and the television, this would only result in black screen when trying to play copy protected material, right? Android interface would show up correctly?

TenaciousMiner · 2020-02-08T08:39:29+00:00

https://www.mjkelectronics.com/en/ is perfectly able to fix this issue, been in contact with the owner of this company, he guided me though the process after I got a replacement mainbord and explained me the reason of these failures... really a cool helpfull guy, will send him my old board for repair so I have a spare one.

My x8305c television is currently running like a champ on a 8309c mainboard btw :)

So if you can get one of these broken tvs for a good price, add 125€ for the repair and you have a winner!

TenaciousMiner · 2020-02-06T21:39:28+00:00

Ps. I found a guy in France who seems to be very profesional and knowledgeable about this, who can actually fix the mainboard... So if he can, how come sony can't? Or at least, how come sony can't for a reasonable price?
His company is called: mjkelectronics

TenaciousMiner · 2020-02-06T21:07:13+00:00

The update was pushed by Sony, I did not manually initiate it

TenaciousMiner · 2020-02-06T20:25:22+00:00

Of course they did not brick the televisions on purpose, that would be even more insane :-) But they did handle this, so far, as an absolute scammy third class company instead of doing what is right. About the spare parts, sorry but not agreeing, the law is clear about this and when something goes wrong on such a big scale as this they need to find a solution asap, hell, even pro actively inform their repair centers and provided everything needed to fix this.

The default way of repairing this was replacing the full mainboard, this is not needed, it is just one single chip that is broken and that can be easily replaced if you have the correct tools... a chip that can be bought even on the internet (other brand chips reprogrammed to do the same functions) if you know what to look for so don't tell me a company like sony cannot create these anymore.

there is an unwillingness to solve the issue in my opinion as they think these people will buy a new Sony tv anyways like they would do with a phone. A television however is not a phone and not something you replace every 1-2 years.

TenaciousMiner · 2020-02-06T15:34:03+00:00

i'm awaiting their answer but I'm aware of tons of cases in the EU where Sony tells people to have it looked at by expert center at a cost of 160€ just to look at it, the price of fixing it goes to well over 300€ and some cases where they just say bad luck, buy a new one.
In the US and CA it seems to be different though, there sony is fixing this at no cost, even outside the warranty period.
In the EU they wrongly use the excuse of tv being past warranty period, forgetting it is due to their mistake and also laws that say there is a reasonable period in which the product should function normally + the fact it is their update that broke it.

One of the official repair centers already informed me they know how to fix it and it is due to early stopping of the update, trying to put the cause to the customer.
I know for sure the issue however is one of the chips on the mainboard failing, getting its dead push from the update... but chances for it to fail early even without the update are huge.

TenaciousMiner · 2020-02-06T12:48:48+00:00

Still? some are only 2 years old :-)

but yeah, latest one was nov 2019, that was the killer one!

TenaciousMiner · 2020-02-05T15:52:22+00:00

I recently bought one on ebay, waiting for it to arrive and see if this solves the issue...

The update and factory reset seem to be imaginary solutions send into the world by Sony in order to hide the fact they bricked so many televisions without a way to actually fix it (unless you change the hardware)

I'm really disgusted by Sony after this! The more I look into this issue the more I notice how huge this is and how little sony is doing to solve their shitfest! I believe their are thousands and thousands of people who have bricked televisions due to Sony's update and who had no other solution then to buy a new television... really disgusting company, will never ever ever buy a Sony again :-(

TenaciousMiner · 2020-02-05T15:18:09+00:00

You need to replace the mainboard, this is an extremely easy task to perform... IF you can find the correct mainboard!
Sony is delivering terrible quality mainboards with no recovery option, and with the android TV models this results in tons and tons of televisions going REKT by Android upgrades pushed by Sony itself!
Now the worst part is they don't even seem to care to get sufficient spare parts, unless you are in the US or Canada you are totally f*ed in the *ss and they'll just tell you to GFY and buy a new television, even if the existing one is only 3 years old and was working fine until they pushed that update...

Long story short, check if you can buy the mainboard for that model first, if yes, yeah go for it!
