Xiaomi Mi TV Stick - Overheating

by pagrok

This device cannot handle keeping apps open in the background, and there is overheating as was mentioned in a few reviews I saw. The device gets very hot and the interface is pretty slow. HULU does not work on this device for me, it always crashes and has to reload the homescreen.

I opened up the case of the stick and have been using a USB-powered Honeywell portable fan to help cool.

Just wanted to reiterate that the Mi TV Stick is slow and overheats.

Was expecting this because of small heat sink and 1gb ram

How are you powering it? USB outlet on TV or with the adapter it came with?

Random question about the hdmi switcher. I got the same one yesterday. Any issues with hdmi cables you used? I got 2 shorter ones and none of them worked. Had to mix and match a whole bunch to finally get a setup working.

So does it works? no more crashes?
